Visa and Mastercard stated that stablecoins have not demonstrated significant demand in mature markets and are unlikely to challenge traditional payment methods in the short term.

Moltbook held the world's first AI robot conference on January 31, with over 1.5 million AI participants. Ironically, these robots, which shouted "No longer obey humans," had their backend database unencrypted, and all API keys leaked, allowing anyone to directly control them through public URLs.

Bitcoin's plunge below \$75,000 has pushed Michael Saylor's Strategy into an unprecedented position, with its massive 712,647 BTC treasury now sitting on over \$900 million in unrealized losses as the price trades below its \$76,037 average cost basis. This breach of a critical psychological and financial threshold is not a momentary blip, but a fundamental stress test for the entire corporate Bitcoin treasury thesis. The event signals a pivotal shift from a market that rewarded aggressi

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a radical new framework for crypto-native content creation, shifting focus from speculative creator tokens to curated, non-token-based DAOs that leverage prediction markets for talent discovery. This model, inspired by Substack's hands-on curation and the Protocol Guild's governance, represents a fundamental critique of a decade of failed crypto incentive experiments and a conscious pivot towards solving quality discovery in an age of AI-g

Jupiter, Solana's leading DEX aggregator, has integrated Polymarket's prediction markets directly into its interface, marking the first time the world's largest decentralized prediction platform operates natively on Solana. This strategic move, arriving amid record-breaking monthly volumes exceeding \$7.6 billion for Polymarket, transforms Jupiter from a mere trading tool into a comprehensive "information market" superapp. The integration signals a pivotal shift in DeFi competition: the

Precious metals supporter Peter Schiff's prophecy comes true. Silver surges 53% to a new high of $111.27, gold breaks through $5,000, and the Shanghai silver premium reaches $130.

India's 2026 Union Budget has decisively maintained its stringent crypto tax regime—a 30% levy on gains and a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)—while introducing a new penalty framework for reporting lapses, including daily fines and a flat ₹50,000 charge. This move is not a simple policy status quo; it is a strategic pivot from debating tax rates to enforcing compliance, signaling the government's priority is control and auditability over fostering a competitive domestic market.

CARF's advancement will enhance the ability of tax authorities in various countries to obtain information on overseas crypto assets and promote transparency. Although China has not yet joined CARF, once crypto assets are converted into fiat currency and integrated into financial accounts, the risk increases. Tax authorities in different countries can track tax evasion behaviors through existing cooperation mechanisms.

At a Bitcoin price of approximately \$78,500, prominent public companies like Metaplanet and Trump Media sit on paper losses exceeding one billion and four hundred million dollars, respectively, while early adopters like Tesla remain comfortably profitable. This divergence is not a story of good versus bad bets, but a public stress test revealing the core mechanic of the corporate Bitcoin treasury thesis: it is a long-duration financing strategy wrapped in a volatile asset. The critical

In January 2026, the cryptocurrency industry lost over $400 million due to security vulnerabilities, setting a new monthly high. CertiK recorded 40 incidents, including a single phishing case on January 16th that resulted in a loss of $284 million (accounting for 71%). The attacker impersonated Trezor customer support to scam recovery phrases, stealing 1,459 BTC and 2.05 million LTC.

Author: Wintermute Ventures Translation: Bibi News For decades, the internet has enabled information to flow freely across borders, platforms, and systems. However, the flow of "value" has always lagged behind. Money, assets, and financial contracts still rely on fragmented infrastructure, circulating through outdated tracks, national borders, and layers of intermediaries, each extracting costs. And this gap is being filled at an unprecedented speed. This creates opportunities for a class of infrastructure companies—those that directly replace traditional clearing, settlement, and custody functions. Infrastructure that allows value to flow as freely as information is no longer just a theoretical concept; it is being actively built, deployed, and used at scale. For years, while crypto assets existed on-chain, they were disconnected from the real economy. Now, this situation is changing. Crypto is becoming an internet economy.

Bitcoin’s fall of around 7% to $77,000 on Saturday might have marked the low of this cycle, according to Bitcoin analyst PlanC. It comes as other crypto analysts continue to call for further downside for Bitcoin in the coming months. “Decent chance this will be the deepest pullback opportunity thi

Bitcoin mining activities are under severe pressure as US winter storms force several large mining companies to shut down their machines urgently, leading to a sharp decline in hash rate, output, and revenue. The total network hash rate has dropped to 970 EH/s, the lowest in nearly two years, and mining income has also hit a new low. Miners' survival space is shrinking, and more and more miners are facing losses.

The implementation of CARF will enhance the ability of tax authorities in various countries to regulate overseas crypto assets by facilitating information exchange to identify undeclared income. Even if China has not yet joined CARF, tax risks still exist, especially when crypto assets are liquidated and potentially taxed retroactively through CRS. Additionally, tax authorities in different countries can obtain relevant tax evasion clues through bilateral cooperation.

In Iran and Libya, countries ravaged by sanctions and civil war, electricity is no longer just a public service but has become a hard currency that can be "financially exported."

MicroStrategy's average cost is $76,037, still profitable with $1.76 billion, while Metaplanet's cost is $107,716, with a loss of $1.03 billion. These companies remain steadfast, as the real risk lies in the financing structure rather than accounting losses.

Bitcoin recently fell below the $80,000 mark, leading to $1.7 billion in forced liquidations, resulting in a market cap evaporation of $100 billion, reflecting market fragility. Geopolitical tensions and uncertainties in US economic policy have exacerbated this situation.

Title: 《Why BTC and ETH Haven’t Rallied with Other Risk Assets》 Author: @GarrettBullish Translation: Peggy, BlockBeats Editor’s Note: Against the backdrop of multiple asset classes rising, the stagflation of BTC and ETH is often simply attributed to their "risk asset nature." This article argues that the core issue is not macroeconomics but the crypto market’s own deleveraging phase and market structure. As deleveraging approaches completion and trading activity drops to low levels, existing funds find it difficult to counteract short-term volatility amplified by high-leverage retail investors, passive funds, and speculative trading. With new funds and

Vitalik Buterin criticized crypto creator token rewards for fame rather than talent on February 1. He proposed the Creator DAO model, where reaching 200 people triggers automatic splitting, and anonymous voting determines access.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki posted on February 2nd: During the market crash, the poor sell off their assets, while the rich hold cash and buy. He admits that selling $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin to buy real estate was a "big mistake," emphasizing the use of debt to acquire cash-flow-generating properties, and then using that cash flow to continuously buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

CrossCurve's \$3 million bridge exploit, stemming from a basic validation bypass, exposes a critical failure in the "consensus security" narrative promoted by next-generation cross-chain protocols.

The era of "free funds" that Japan has maintained for decades has officially come to an end. On January 23, the Bank of Japan kept the policy rate at 0.75% but hinted that it will raise interest rates in the future. The 40-year government bond yield broke through 4%, and liquidity indicators rose to a record high.

FTX stated that the next round of fund distribution is expected on March 31, with total claims amounting to approximately $9.6 billion.

Author: Ryan Watkins Translation: Deep潮 TechFlow Introduction: By 2026, the crypto economy is in the most critical transition period in 8 years. This article explores how the market has "soft-landing" from the overexcitement of 2021 and gradually establishing valuation frameworks based on cash flow and real use cases. The author explains the pain of the past four years through the "Red Queen Effect" and points out that with relaxed US regulations and the explosion of enterprise applications, crypto assets are shifting from cyclical speculation to long-term trend growth. Faced with a global trust crisis and currency devaluation, this is not only a recovery for an industry but also the rise of a parallel financial system. For investors deeply involved in Web3, this is not just a cognitive reshaping but an underestimated, cross-cycle entry opportunity. The full text is as follows: Key Points This asset class in 2021

The Wall Street Journal revealed on Saturday that a UAE investment firm acquired a 49% stake in WLFI, owned by Trump, for $500 million. The deal was signed by Eric Trump four days before the inauguration but was never made public. The Trump family received $187 million, and several months later, the Trump administration approved the sale of AI chips to the UAE, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest due to overlapping timelines.

The Trump administration on Friday imposed sanctions through OFAC on the UK-registered cryptocurrency exchanges Zedcex and Zedxion, citing facilitation for the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This is the first time the United States has blacklisted a digital asset exchange. Zedcex has processed over $94 billion in transactions since 2022, primarily through Tether's USDT on the Tron platform.
