After a long period of silence, the memecoin market has started to pick up again. Capital is quietly flowing back, indicating a clear shift in momentum over the past 30 days. The total memecoin market capitalization has continuously decreased since mid-December, dropping from over $42 billion to nearly $36 billion. However,

Written by: imToken In recent times, if you have been paying close attention to the Ethereum ecosystem, you might feel a sense of disconnection. On one side, there is intense discussion about scalability routes, Rollup architecture, Interop, ZK, PBS, Slot shortening, and other technical topics; On the other side, debates revolve around questions like "Is the Ethereum Foundation arrogant," "Why isn't it more aggressive," "Why is the token price sluggish," and even emotional confrontations; These discussions actually point repeatedly to a deeper question: What kind of system does Ethereum ultimately want to become? In fact, many disputes are not rooted in technical disagreements but stem from different understandings of Ethereum's "value premises." Therefore, only by returning to these premises can we truly understand why Ethereum has made choices that many consider "out of date" today. 1. Ethereum "Ten

Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a shocking statement in the latest "Moonshots with Peter Diamandis" interview. He predicts that within the next 10 to 20 years, driven by AI and robotics technology, humanity will enter an era of "extreme material abundance." At that time, the costs of goods and services will approach zero, and the traditional concept of "saving for retirement" will become meaningless, as everyone will be able to enjoy a high-quality life and healthcare. Musk: The era of high income for all is coming, stop saving for retirement! In the interview, Musk advised people not to overly worry about "stashing money" for retirement 10-20 years from now. He stated, "If the future we predict comes true, you won't need to save for retirement at all; on the other hand, if we mess up (human extinction), money will be useless." He believes that future service systems will be sufficient to support everyone.

The herd is trying to defend Bitcoin (BTC) around the psychological level of $90,000, but selling pressure still shows no signs of easing. Material Indicators co-founder Keith Alan stated on X that BTC could correct to the support zone of $87,500–$89,000. Even trader Roman has presented a more pessimistic scenario,

Large-cap altcoins are showing an improving structure, but confirmation remains closely tied to Bitcoin behavior. Utility-driven networks display more stable price action than speculative assets. Support retention will likely determine whether upside targets remain viable.

As 2026 gets underway, market behavior is being shaped more by how assets respond to pressure than by pure momentum. The XRP price is trading near levels that have historically influenced long cycle trends, shifting expert attention toward structure, safety, and risk control. At the same time, the P

Yomiuri Shimbun reports that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering dissolving the House of Representatives at the regular Diet session convened on January 23. The plan points to a general election in the House of Representatives to be held in early to mid-February. Following the news, Nikkei futures surged, and the yen against the US dollar hit a one-year low, with USD/JPY reaching around 158, an increase of approximately 0.6% to 0.7% for the day. Industry analysts interpret that since Takaichi's cabinet took office in October 2025, support ratings have remained around 70%. They aim to dissolve the House of Representatives while support is still high to proactively contest the election. If Takaichi's administration wins a majority in the House of Representatives, the market expects more aggressive fiscal policies, leading to a reaction of selling the yen. Since taking office, Takaichi's policy style has been "proactive fiscal policy + tolerating a weaker yen to boost the stock market and exports." Yomiuri Shimbun: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi may dissolve the House of Representatives on January 23.

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced an 8.3% rise, reaching a sell wall at $0.1529 with two more overhead. Holding above $0.1396 support, DOGE also gained 6.0% against Bitcoin. Current market behavior suggests constrained upward movement within defined resistance and support levels.

As generative AI rapidly permeates the fields of design and software development, the "creation" threshold has disappeared, and content creators are falling into anxiety.

Written by: Arjun Khemani Translated by: Block unicorn The core argument of "The Sovereign Individual" is not that the government is evil or that markets are inherently good, nor that technology itself is inherently liberating. Its argument is more structural and unsettling: the evolution of money depends on the balance between violence and information, and the information age has permanently weakened the state's control over currency. From this perspective, money is not just a medium of exchange or a unit of account; it is also a form of power technology. Whoever controls money controls resource allocation, taxation, and ultimately social coordination. For most of modern history, nation-states have been able to dominate currency because they could control violence and surveillance. The book argues that this dominance is coming to an end—not through revolution or collapse, but through obsolescence. Money as the logic of violence

Author: Lin, Trader Compiled by: Felix, PANews Trader Lin recently shared his trading insights, including technical analysis, risk management, psychological factors, and more, suitable for novice traders or those who frequently incur losses. Below are the details. Follow the Trend A strong upward trend can often bring substantial profits. You should always trade in the direction of the trend. As the old saying goes, “The trend is your friend.” This is absolutely true. Investing is a game of probabilities. Therefore, you need to maximize your chances of winning. Buying stocks in an uptrend is like sailing with the wind; everything feels easier. The market rises faster, lasts longer, and progress becomes more effortless. When sailing with the wind, even small pushes can lead to huge gains. That’s why everyone feels like a genius during a bull market. So, how do you identify a trend?

Ethereum verification and computation protocol Truebit was attacked by a contract vulnerability on Thursday, resulting in losses of assets worth over $26 million. After the news broke, the native token TRU plummeted from $0.16 to nearly zero, a 100% drop in a short period of time. Truebit official immediately confirmed the news on social platform X: "We have discovered a security incident involving one or more malicious actors. We are currently working closely with law enforcement agencies and taking all possible measures to respond to this situation." Today, we became aware of a security incident involving one or more malicious actors. The affected smart contract is

"AI Godfather" Geoffrey Hinton warns on CNN: AI development is progressing faster than expected, and he is more worried than two years ago. Hinton points out that approximately every 7 months, AI can double the complexity of projects, and within a few years, only a very small number of people will be needed for software engineering. He compares the AI revolution to the Industrial Revolution, but this time, intelligence rather than physical strength is being replaced. The probability of AI taking over the world is estimated at 10% to 20%.

Taiwan's trade surplus with the US has broken historical records, reaching $131.8 billion USD by November, primarily benefiting from the US's demand for AI infrastructure. Although the impressive data highlights Taiwan's importance in the supply chain, it could also become a leverage tool for the US in tariff negotiations, making Taiwan's efforts to secure tariff exemptions more challenging.

On-chain data is real-time, transparent, and tamper-proof. TVL measures the total value locked but is easily affected by token prices and should be combined with USD net inflow.

Fees are paid by users, while revenue remains with the protocol. Three steps: focus on continuous growth, track stock and flow, consider token unlocks.

Florida has experienced a clear shift in its legislative approach to cryptocurrency policy. Following the failure of previous proposals to significantly open up state-level investments in crypto assets, state lawmakers are now promoting related legislation in a more conservative manner, focusing on Bitcoin (BTC). The aim is to establish a strategically meaningful digital asset reserve for the state government while managing risks. According to Florida legislative records, the "Senate Bill 1038" proposed by Republican State Senator Joe Gruters was officially filed on December 30, 2025, and will be forwarded this week to the Senate Agriculture, Environment, and General Government Appropriations Committee for review. The bill still needs to pass committee hearings and votes before proceeding to the full Senate.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has officially issued a "no-action" exemption letter to the cryptocurrency exchange Bitnomial, allowing it to launch "event contracts" and prediction markets based on digital assets, economic indicators, and other underlying assets. This decision not only clears a key regulatory hurdle for Bitnomial but also marks a more open attitude from U.S. derivatives regulators towards innovative financial products native to the crypto space. As the 2024 election cycle drives a surge in prediction market popularity, from Polymarket to Kalshi, on-chain prediction platforms are gaining unprecedented attention from mainstream culture and capital. This regulatory breakthrough could open a new chapter for the integration of traditional finance and decentralized finance in the complex derivatives field.

Entering 2026, the native token Pi Coin of the mobile mining project Pi Network has recently seen a significant increase in trading activity, and market attention has rebounded. Its price is supported by buying interest near the key $0.20 support level, recording approximately a 2% increase over the past 7 days. Technical analysis indicates that if the price can hold above the current support, the short-term upside target could be $0.35. However, trading of its ETP products in the Swedish market remains light, and there is potential token unlock selling pressure, indicating that market sentiment remains divided. The long-term trend requires more fundamental catalysts for confirmation.

The era of encrypted Twitter as a market coordination mechanism is coming to an end. The once unified cultural system that could transform narratives into capital flows has gradually become ineffective, with rules of the game industrialized, profit distribution becoming more extreme, attention spans dispersing, and the market entering the post-encrypted Twitter era. This article is based on a piece by Lauris, organized, translated, and written by Deep潮 TechFlow.

Once the news was disclosed, the stock price of Strategy (MSTR), the publicly traded company holding the most Bitcoin globally, immediately rose. Encouraged by the positive news, as a constituent of the MSCI index, Strategy's stock price surged over 6% to $168.4 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, strongly recovering from the approximately 4% decline during the day. Market sentiment instantly shifted from tense to optimistic. Looking back to October last year, MSCI

Author: Frank, PANews Previously, PANews conducted in-depth research on prediction market strategies, one of the key findings being that: whether many arbitrage strategies can succeed may not be limited by the mathematical formulas of the strategies, but rather by the liquidity depth of the prediction markets themselves. Recently, after Polymarket announced the launch of the US real estate prediction market, this phenomenon seems to have become even more apparent. Since its launch, the daily trading volume of this series of markets has only been a few hundred dollars, far from the expected lively activity. Its actual market popularity is much lower than the discussion on social media. This seems to be a humorous and abnormal situation, so we may need to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the liquidity of prediction markets to reveal some truths about liquidity in prediction markets. PANews retrieved historical data of 295,000 markets on Polymarket to date, resulting in

Author: Chainalysis Compiled by: Felix, PANews In response to the ongoing attacks by North Korean hackers on the cryptocurrency industry over the years, Chainalysis focused on analyzing North Korean hacking activities in the 2025 Hacker Attack Report. Below are the details. Key Points: - North Korean hackers stole $2.02 billion worth of cryptocurrencies in 2025, a 51% increase year-over-year. Despite fewer attacks, their total stolen amount has reached $6.75 billion. - North Korean hackers have stolen more cryptocurrencies with fewer attacks, often by infiltrating internal IT staff within crypto services or using sophisticated impersonation strategies targeting executives. - North Korean hackers clearly favor Chinese money laundering services, cross-chain bridge services, and mixing protocols. After major theft events, their money laundering cycle is approximately 45 days. 202

Morgan Stanley spot Bitcoin ETF, Ethereum ETF, and Solana ETF applications filed simultaneously, represent far more than just another set of S-1 forms—they signal a profound strategic shift in how traditional finance engages with digital assets.

According to CryptoQuant data analysis, the Miner Exchange Flow has been steadily increasing from 2023 to 2025, which typically indicates that miners are transferring Bitcoin to exchanges for selling, and these transfers constitute a potential selling pressure. Looking closely at the moving average lines in the chart, such as the 50-day moving average (SMA 50) and the 100-day moving average (SMA 100), these lines are still maintained at relatively high levels and have not experienced sharp downward breaches. From a more macro perspective, between 2017 and 2020, miner inflow remained at moderate to low levels, and the selling did not completely disrupt the price rally. During that period, miners generally reduced their holdings gradually as prices increased. At the peak in 2021, miner inflow increased, but prices continued to reach new highs, indicating that despite miners in

XRP surged nearly 20% this week to $2.28, with the market once again focusing on its breakout potential. A viral video claims that XRP will become the most breakout cryptocurrency trading target in 2026. Practicality narratives are driving the core momentum, with banks using XRP for fast settlements and cross-border payment applications boosting demand. Investors are rotating from Bitcoin and Ethereum to more liquid altcoins, with XRP standing out due to its scale, brand recognition, and familiarity among institutions.

The Ethereum network has successfully executed the second "Blob-Only Parameter" upgrade, increasing the Blob target value for each block from 10 to 14, and the upper limit from 15 to 21. This upgrade is the planned concluding step of the Fusaka hard fork in December last year, marking the maturation of Ethereum's strategy to achieve data availability scalability through modularity and parameterization. Higher Blob capacity means Layer 2 Rollup networks can bundle transaction data onto the Ethereum mainnet at lower costs, thereby maintaining extremely low user transaction fees for a longer period. This technological evolution not only consolidates Ethereum's core position as a decentralized settlement layer but also lays the foundation for a more prosperous DApp ecosystem and a potential revaluation of market value.

Germany's flagship stock index DAX first surpassed the 25,000-point mark on January 7, 2026. This is the result of continuous record highs since the beginning of this year and is expected to serve as a positive signal for the global financial markets. According to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the DAX index opened the day up 0.55% from the previous trading day, at 25,029.64 points, and reached a new high during the session. The DAX index reflects the stock prices of the top 40 listed companies by market capitalization in Germany and is considered a key indicator of the health of the European economy. This rise in the index appears to reflect more a change in broad investor sentiment rather than short-term event-driven factors. Conus Bank market analyst pointed out that recent market expectations generally do not foresee the escalation of tensions between the US and Venezuela into military conflict, and the anticipated decline in oil prices triggered by this has had a positive impact on investment sentiment.
