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 Money, assets, and financial contracts still rely on fragmented infrastructure, circulating through outdated tracks, national borders, and layers of intermediaries, each extracting costs.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.

BitMEX co-founder and noted crypto macro analyst Arthur Hayes has pinpointed a massive \$300 billion contraction in U.S. dollar liquidity as the primary force behind Bitcoin's recent price weakness. Hayes argues that this move, driven by the U.S. Treasury rebuilding its cash reserves, transcends crypto-specific sentiment and represents a broad macro headwind for all risk assets. This analysis is corroborated by a nearly 7% decline in the key USDLIQ dollar liquidity index over six months.

Written by: Liang Yu Edited by: Zhao Yidan On January 21, 2026, the snow and ice in Davos, Switzerland, have not yet melted, and a heated discussion about the future of global finance is underway. Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced to the world that Hong Kong is expected to issue its first batch of licenses related to stablecoins within the year and reaffirmed the principle of "same activity, same risk, same regulation." This statement is consistent with his public confirmation six months ago in December 2024 of the plan to introduce a stablecoin licensing system this year. This upcoming policy is not an isolated move. In his speech in Davos, Paul Chan systematically outlined Hong Kong's strategic blueprint for digital assets: since 2023, Hong Kong has already...

Author: BoringBiz\_ Translation: Deep Tide TechFlow Introduction: As Warren Buffett prepares to step down after nearly 60 years at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway, it is especially important to revisit the core ideas from his early years. This article is a translation of an in-depth review of Buffett's shareholder letters from 1981 to 1982. Even after more than 40 years, Buffett's statements on "rejecting mediocre mergers," "inflation as a parasite eroding companies," and "real economic surplus surpassing accounting profits" still hold strong warning significance for today's Web3 investors, DAO governors, and business operators.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview BTC (+1.19% | Current Price 90,086.0 USDT) In the past week, BTC stabilized at a low after a rapid decline, with prices oscillating around a key support zone. After six days of decline, the current trading price fluctuates between $88,000 and $89,000, down nearly 10% from the recent high of approximately $98,000. Factors contributing to this decline include: Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Greenland, significant adjustments in global bond prices, record highs in precious metals, and market risk asset sell-offs. The short-term moving averages are still below the medium- and long-term averages, and the trend has not fully reversed. However, the MACD is rebounding from low levels, and bearish momentum is weakening, indicating a temporary easing of downward pressure and a phase of correction. ETH (+2.11% | Current Price 3,026.99

The Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany research shows that 96% of Trump's tariffs' costs are borne by American consumers and importers, amounting to nearly $200 billion paid domestically.

Only 20% of the tariff costs are passed on to consumers within six months, with the rest absorbed by businesses squeezing profits.
