Operators of over-the-counter trading platforms for fragmented investments established to build a securities token (STO) market trading infrastructure have selected two consortia led respectively by a Korean exchange and Nextrade. As financial regulators approach the substantive end of the preliminary licensing process, the fragmented investment market is officially entering the regulatory framework. At the meeting held on January 7, the Securities and Futures Commission under the Financial Committee reviewed the "Preliminary License Application for Financial Investment in Fragmented Investment OTC Exchanges" and decided to select the consortium (KDX), jointly formed by the Korean Exchange and the Korea Securities Depository, as well as the consortium (NXT), composed of Nextrade-Musicow, as operators. The Lucent Block consortium, which submitted the application together, was not selected in this review. Fragmented investment refers to dividing high-value assets such as artworks, real estate, and music copyrights into small units,

Fundstrat co-founder and well-known Wall Street analyst Tom Lee leads the cryptocurrency reserve company Bitmine Immersion (NYSE: BMNR), which continues to expand its Ethereum holdings. Over the past week, it purchased 32,977 ETH, bringing the company's total assets to $14.2 billion. As of January 4, Bitmine has accumulated 4,143,502 ETH, valued at $13 billion, currently controlling 3.43% of the total global ETH supply. This is more than two-thirds of the progress toward Tom Lee's "5% Alchemy" target—holding approximately 60.4 million ETH. Bitmine is not just accumulating coins but is also actively participating in network governance. Currently, 659,000 ETH have been staked.

The cryptocurrency market in 2026 is off to a strong start, with Bitcoin spot ETFs attracting $697 million, reaching the highest record in nearly a year, indicating that institutional investors are returning to the market.

Market sentiment has improved, but retail investors remain cautious.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has made a prediction about Bitcoin. He believes that the cryptocurrency could reach $200,000 by the end of this year. Kiyosaki is well known for the strong views he has on money, investing and the risks of traditional currencies. His latest

Discord has reportedly applied for a secret listing with the SEC and completed a CEO transition. With subscriptions, advertising, and platform strategies, it aims to position itself as a social infrastructure to tap into the capital markets. Leadership Change Boosts IPO, Discord Reportedly Files for Secret Listing ---------------------------- According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter revealed that the well-known social platform Discord has secretly filed for an IPO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and has hired Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase as underwriters. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company has been actively expanding its features and business scope in recent years, attempting to transform from a pure gaming voice tool into a comprehensive social platform. To prepare for post-IPO operational scale

In brief Ethereum increased its blob target to 14 and the blob limit to 21 in a planned fork. On-chain data shows blob usage remains well below capacity despite rising rollup activity. The change reflects Ethereum’s move toward tuning data availability rather than relying on major

The well-known community platform Discord has secretly submitted an initial public offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), planning to go public with the support of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. This company, which has over 200 million monthly active users and was once valued at $15 billion, rejected a $12 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft in 2021 and has now chosen to list independently. This move comes as the U.S. tech IPO market is warming up, with last year's funding more than double that of 2024. For the cryptocurrency industry, Discord's IPO is not only a business milestone but also a key signal that its status as a core infrastructure of Web3 is gaining recognition from mainstream capital markets.

Author: danny Around the winter of 2020, the project's goal shifted from "creating value and serving users" to "appeasing exchanges and serving the studio well." The core driving force behind this phenomenon lies in the rigid demand for data from exchanges and the cold start dilemma faced by early-stage projects. Due to the lack of genuine initial users and data, but with exchanges requiring this data, project teams are forced to "collude" with studios and artificially inflate activity through volume manipulation to create a false sense of prosperity and meet market expectations. This model leads projects to directly "start businesses facing exchanges" (To Exchange) and "start businesses targeting airdrop hunters" (To Airdrop Hunter). In this context, the industry has seen a phenomenon of "bad money driving out good," where false, arbitrage-driven interactions (bad money) crowd out network resources. By diluting rewards and increasing usage costs, this trend pushes out genuine users,

According to Bloomberg, the well-known community messaging platform Discord has secretly submitted an application for an initial public offering (IPO) to U.S. regulators. Discord has over 200 million monthly active users, reached a valuation of $15 billion in 2021, and has previously rejected Microsoft's acquisition offer. However, while advancing its listing, the company also faces regulatory pressure and challenges to strengthen child safety measures. Discord Secretly Applies for U.S. Stock IPO, a Key Signal of the Rebound in Tech Stock Financing The well-known communication software Discord is reported to have submitted an IPO application confidentially, marking an important signal of the tech unicorn's return to the capital market. The company is currently working closely with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. Although the specific timeline for listing has not been finalized, its over 200 million monthly active users have made it a market focus. U.S. Tech Stocks I

The New York stock market opened higher due to strong gains in technology stocks, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 0.32%. Major tech companies performed well, especially Nvidia and Micron Technology, influenced by CES 2026. Meanwhile, the services PMI came in below expectations, which in turn boosted market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut. Investors are focused on upcoming employment data, which is expected to influence interest rate decisions. Overall, technological innovation and interest rate policy expectations support a stock market rally, but there is a risk of volatility from employment data.

In early 2026, the cryptocurrency market is on the rise, with Bitcoin maintaining at 13,556,000 KRW. Despite a slight decline, analysts predict it will hit a new all-time high. Ethereum and Ripple also performed well, driven by institutional investors. Cryptocurrencies are seen as safe-haven assets, and improved market demand and regulatory environment further support their upward potential.

The cryptocurrency market in 2026 is off to a strong start, with Bitcoin spot ETFs attracting $697 million, reaching the highest record in nearly a year, indicating that institutional investors are returning to the market.

The main theme of 2025 is the victory of the US stock market, especially AI stocks. But the founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, has a completely opposite view. He believes that the biggest investment story of 2025 is not in stocks, but in the collapse of currency values and the change in asset pricing benchmarks. Ray Dalio chooses to review not just a single market or hot industry, but the entire "currency—debt—market—economy" machine and how it has operated over the past year. Although the stock market appears to perform well, if we switch from the US dollar standard to the gold standard, the US stock market has actually fallen by 28%. The US dollar has depreciated against gold by as much as 39%. The biggest gain or loss in 2025: not stocks, but the value of money Dalio points out that the most undeniable fact in 2025 is: all fiat currencies are depreciating, just at different speeds. Taking the US dollar as an example, in 2025 the US dollar:

Since entering 2026, the cryptocurrency market has been climbing steadily, but behind the prosperity, it may still be "walking on thin ice." According to the well-known on-chain analysis firm Glassnode, although the market appears lively, liquidity conditions seem to be very weak, with spot trading volume dropping to a new low in over 2 years. Glassnode data shows that despite Bitcoin prices continuing to rise, the total spot trading volume of Bitcoin and competing coins has fallen to the lowest point since November 2023. This typical "price rise with declining volume" divergence usually indicates a decrease in market participation and weak buying momentum, with the rally lacking solid support. The so-called "spot trading volume" measures the actual buying and selling activity of real money on exchanges and is a key indicator of the market's true heat. In a healthy traditional bull market, price increases should be accompanied by expanding trading volume, indicating continuous inflow of new funds for turnover.

Entering 2026, the public chain star Sui (SUI) has performed exceptionally well. As of mid-January, SUI's monthly price increase exceeded 38%, reaching a high of $1.99, marking a nearly two-month high, with its single-day trading volume surging to $1.7 billion. Behind this strong performance is the market's recognition of its successful absorption of $65.1 million in monthly token unlocks, as well as positive expectations for institutions like Bitwise and Canary Capital submitting spot ETF applications. What is even more noteworthy is that its core development team, Mysten Labs, recently published an academic paper on blockchain privacy technology, sparking endless speculation in the market about the potential integration of native privacy features in Sui. Analysts have set their mid-term target price between $2.8 and $3.5.

Well-known tea restaurant owner Luo Yixiang is suspected of operating money laundering and gambling websites under the restaurant's name, involving a cash flow of 30.6 billion yuan, with personal profits exceeding 300 million yuan.

Author: 0xjacobzhao In our previous Crypto AI series reports, we consistently emphasized the following point: the most practically valuable scenarios in the current crypto space are mainly focused on stablecoin payments and DeFi, while Agents are the key interface between AI industry and users. Therefore, in the trend of integrating Crypto and AI, the two most valuable paths are: in the short term, AgentFi based on existing mature DeFi protocols (such as lending, liquidity mining, and other basic strategies, as well as advanced strategies like Swap, Pendle PT, and funding rate arbitrage), and in the medium to long term, Agents centered around stablecoin settlement and relying on protocols like ACP/AP2/x402/ERC-8004.

The well-known crypto data platform The Tie for institutional clients announced that it has completed the acquisition of staking service provider Stakin, marking The Tie's first M&A deal since its establishment. The transaction was paid in a combination of cash and equity, with the specific amount not disclosed. The funds came from the company's balance sheet and operating profits. Through this acquisition, The Tie officially established an infrastructure solutions division, bringing under its umbrella over $1 billion in delegated assets managed by Stakin and its expertise across more than 40 blockchain networks. This signifies the company's strategic expansion into the broader crypto infrastructure sector, aiming to create a unified digital asset service portal for its approximately 500 institutional clients.

Introduction Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), Solana ($SOL) and other cryptocurrencies are digital currencies, and the process of their storage and transactions is similar to that of fiat currencies. When one holder sends Bitcoin to another, they need a public address as well as a private key.

The beginning of 2026 did little to ease anyone into the year. The sudden and unexpected collapse of Venezuela’s politics and the swift U.S. intervention in its oil interests shook the world’s markets. The majority of the news coverage was related to energy security, regime change, as well as

Starting from January 1, 2026, a historic shift in cryptocurrency taxation has been implemented across 48 jurisdictions worldwide, including the United Kingdom and EU member states. This year, as the cryptocurrency reporting framework is launched globally, cryptocurrency investors in these 48 countries will begin to have their crypto wallet transaction data recorded for tax purposes. Source: OECD The international tax transparency framework developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), will officially come into effect in 2027. However, from January 1 of this year, cryptocurrency service providers in participating jurisdictions—including centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, crypto ATMs, as well as brokers and traders—have been required to start collecting the necessary transaction data to combat tax evasion and money laundering activities. OECD's update in November

In the beginning of 2026, the cryptocurrency market experienced a strong rally, with Meme coins represented by Pepe and Bonk performing particularly well. They generally achieved double-digit gains within the week, and the total market capitalization surged over 23% in just one week. This upward trend coincided with Bitcoin's steady breakthrough of the key resistance level at $90,000 and an improved macro market environment, which some analysts see as an early signal of risk appetite returning. However, overall market sentiment remains divided, and the Fear and Greed Index has not fully exited the "Fear" zone, serving as a reminder for investors to stay cautious amid optimism.

Hong Kong prosecutors escalate charges against key figure Zhu Jiahui in the JPEX case, with money laundering allegations increased to 4 counts and transferred to the District Court, highlighting the legal risks of influencer promotion of crypto platforms. Prosecutors escalate charges, Mr. Zhu's money laundering allegations rise to 4 counts -------------------- According to reports from Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong prosecutors continue to intensify enforcement efforts against the JPEX scam case. Recently, they formally added 3 counts of money laundering against the well-known crypto influencer "Mr. Zhu" Zhu Jiahui. According to court documents, prosecutors allege that Zhu Jiahui, between 2020 and 2023, processed approximately HKD 18.78 million in suspicious funds through 4 bank accounts, suspected of knowingly or should have known that the funds involved were proceeds of crime, yet still handled them. With the new charges, Zhu Jiahui currently faces a total of 4 counts of money laundering. The case's nature has also shifted from the original

The cryptocurrency market continues to rise, with Bitcoin reaching $91,274, Ethereum at $3,135, and the total market capitalization around $3.12 trillion. Small and medium-sized competing coins like Dogecoin performed well, but trading volume declined, so short-term volatility risks should be monitored.

Written by: Liang Yu Edited by: Zhao Yidan On January 1, 2026, Hong Kong's financial system will officially adopt a globally recognized "Risk Benchmark." Caixin.com reported on December 29 that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has confirmed that starting from that date, Hong Kong will fully implement crypto asset regulatory capital requirements based on the latest standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). This move not only makes Hong Kong the first major financial center in Asia to align with this international regulatory framework but also signifies that its prudent regulation of crypto assets has moved from localized pilot programs to comprehensive and systematic international integration. According to the new regulations, the scope of "crypto assets" as defined by the Basel framework is broad, covering various digital assets that rely on cryptography and distributed ledger technology. This means that mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as innovative forms like stablecoins and real-world asset tokens (RWA), are all included under a unified

TSMC has performed well over the past few years, with revenue expected to grow by 21% in 2026. The company's strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector and close collaboration with NVIDIA give it significant future potential.

In the world of cryptocurrency trading, many people often believe in specific "trading indicators." However, numerous studies have pointed out that most trading strategies claiming to have stable backtested profits are not necessarily proven effective by the market but are instead the survivors that were selected. It's like taking a hundred questions from last year's college entrance exam and scoring full marks; it doesn't mean you'll perform equally well on this year's exam. This is the "overfitting" trap of trading strategies. A more realistic question is, if a strategy truly performs so well, why not leverage it yourself instead of selling it externally or sharing it publicly? After all, truly effective strategies are often limited by capacity; as capital increases, the advantage is often consumed by one's own trading behavior and market reactions. Trading indicator developers often only showcase their best results to raise funds. A paper published by the American Mathematical Society points out the bias in backtesting, revealing that under traditional backtesting frameworks, certain technical strategies can indeed generate significant positive results in historical data.

IDN Network observed that the failure of Web3 projects is often due to the breakdown of collaborative structures rather than technical issues. The key lies in establishing clear responsibility and decision-making mechanisms, avoiding reliance on "community consensus" or incentives to mask structural flaws. True sustainability comes from a well-defined collaboration framework and role definitions, while technology itself is merely the foundation for implementation.

American well-known tech bull and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives stated in an interview on 12/31 that he shared personal views on AI tech stocks, energy, and US-China tech competition during the upcoming consumer electronics show (CES). He frankly said that the market has underestimated the "depth and breadth" of this wave of AI revolution, and believes that the current volatility is more like a pause in the middle of a party rather than a bubble burst. CES Becomes a Key Stage, AI Officially Moves into the Physical World Dan Ives pointed out that the upcoming CES exhibition will be an important turning point in this round of the tech cycle. He specifically mentioned NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's speech during the event, which is expected to set the tone for "autonomous robots" and "physical AI" (Physical AI). In his view, CES is no longer just a showcase.

The leading global digital asset management firm Grayscale recently released its 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Outlook report, outlining clear investment themes and risk priorities for the upcoming new cycle. The core conclusion of the report is clear and compelling: compared to the still-distant threat of quantum computing, a well-defined regulatory framework—especially the Crypto Market Structure Act, which is expected to pass in the United States by 2026—will become the decisive force shaping the market in the coming year. Grayscale analysts predict that this legislation will introduce rules from traditional financial markets, such as registration, disclosure, asset classification, and insider trading protections, into the crypto space, paving the way for large institutional entry. If realized, this could mark the beginning of the early stage of the "institutional era" in the crypto market, characterized by institutional-led liquidity and on-chain direct interactions, transitioning from a retail speculation-driven market. This report, published by a giant managing over $18 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF assets, undoubtedly provides investors with an authoritative roadmap to understand the next market-driving logic.
