CZ responds to the four major FUDs in a live broadcast: fabricated Polymarket posts, misinterpretation of "canceling the super cycle," incorrect interpretation of Binance selling $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, and questions about the SAFU fund. He admits that confidence in the super cycle has "diminished but may still occur," attributing this to geopolitical turmoil. He clarifies that wallet balance changes are due to user withdrawals, and SAFU will buy in installments within 30 days. The impact of $1 billion on a market cap of 1.7 trillion is only 0.002%.

Author: Zen, PANews After much back and forth, Trump's nominee for Federal Reserve Chair is expected to be officially announced in about a week. This dramatic "selection process" took a surprising turn as it reached the final stage. "The Federal Reserve must lower interest rates to 3% to be closer to equilibrium," said BlackRock Chief Fixed Income Investment Officer Rick Rieder in an interview with CNBC on January 13. "Only then can we consider the current situation." Rieder's remarks also officially signaled the start of a dark horse's charge. On that day, his probability of winning in prediction markets like Polymarket doubled from 3% to 6%; after Trump praised him highly at the Davos Forum, Rieder's win probability soared to 60%. As of January 29, Rieder and former

The NFT market has gradually shifted towards functional NFTs, reflecting a pragmatic transformation in the industry.

Binance founder CZ Davos predicts that in 2026, Bitcoin will enter a super cycle, potentially breaking the four-year cycle. He admits to having experienced trading losses and now only holds BTC and BNB, adopting a buy-and-hold strategy. The United States strongly supports cryptocurrencies, and other countries are following suit. The current institutional and policy environment may change the market structure.

Article by: Cathy On January 11, 2026, X product lead Nikita Bier posted a tweet that instantly ignited the crypto community. He announced: Smart Cashtags will go live in February. This was a typical product update, but the preview screenshot prominently featured "Buy" and "Sell" buttons, making everyone realize — Elon Musk's "super app" ambitions are finally serious. However, few people noticed that Nikita Bier also has another role: strategic advisor at Solana Labs. Almost simultaneously, Solana's official account announced a deep integration into X

Madman says… This wave of cryptocurrencies is really disastrous. When the US stock market rises, it doesn’t follow at all; when the US stock market crashes, it doesn’t drop either. Bitcoin’s daily chart has fallen back from 97,000. Recently, this kind of back-and-forth fluctuation is considered garbage time. I am not making any moves and will continue to wait until Bitcoin hits a new low (below $80,000) before starting to buy. Currently, the support level around $85,000 to $86,000 still seems to hold, but given the current situation, the probability of it breaking ultimately is quite high. All the funds are now swirling in commodities and mainstream stock markets, completely ignoring the cryptocurrency market. First, because Bitcoin’s scale has grown, its volatility has significantly decreased, even lower than traditional markets. Second, the super-institutions’ main base is in traditional markets, so there’s no need to risk participating in the crypto market. This has led to the current predicament in the cryptocurrency market: small coins lack innovation, and big coins lack volatility and narrative.

The crypto market has entered a more selective phase, where investors are no longer chasing every altcoin rally but instead focusing on platforms that offer real infrastructure, revenue models, and long-term utility. While established names like Ethereum and newer giants such as Hyperliquid

In January 2026, Wall Street's crypto narrative king Tom Lee announced an investment of $200 million in Beast Industries, the holding company of MrBeast. On the surface, this news appears to be another alliance between Wall Street capital and traffic, but in essence, it is a draft social contract for the digital age. When the "Beast Lord" with 460 million global subscribers begins to collaborate with the "Financial Architect" well-versed in blockchain storytelling, they are no longer trying to build more luxurious content castles, but rather a complete digital city-state with an independent economic system. MrBeast's predicament is a microcosm of all super-individuals in the digital age: he controls the largest attention domain in human history, with each video capable of mobilizing tens of millions of views and interactions. His chocolate brand Feastables has penetrated over 30,000 stores across North America. However, this lord himself has long been in a state of "negative cash flow."

Author: IOSGVenturesTeam This is the second half of "IOSG Internal Memo (Part 1): 2026, How Do We Bet on Mainstream Assets?" The gateway to financial literacy: super apps and tokenization Macroeconomic tailwinds and regulatory clarity have laid the foundation, but large-scale adoption requires channels. The next wave of growth in the crypto space will be driven by two complementary forces. Large tech companies bring in new users: Major tech firms will play a significant role in promoting crypto adoption. For these companies, crypto offers a pathway to become super apps—platforms that integrate payments, social networking, and financial services. X and Meta are both exploring crypto integration. A social media company based in the US with operations in most countries worldwide is likely to become the "Trojan Horse" for global stablecoin adoption. Its effect will be to channel liquidity from bank balance sheets and small economies into the crypto ecosystem.

The publicly traded company with the largest holdings of Ethereum worldwide, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), announced that it will invest 200 million USD in the super influencer "MrBeast"'s company, Beast Industries. The investment is expected to be completed on January 19, at which point the company will hold shares in Beast Industries.

One of Wall Street's most well-known cryptocurrency bulls, Fundstrat founder Tom Lee, has once again become a market focus. His global largest Ethereum reserve company, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, where he serves as chairman, announced it will invest $200 million in Beast Industries, a platform founded by YouTube super influencer MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson). The deal is expected to be completed around January 19, aiming to connect top content platforms with over 450 million subscribers and more than 5 billion views per month to the Ethereum ecosystem. In an interview with CNBC, Tom Lee explained that this move is based on the belief that "Ethereum as a smart contract platform is the future of finance," aiming to integrate digital services and digital assets. This cross-industry collaboration not only marks the acquisition of influence by traditional financial capital into the crypto-native space but also reveals a deepening trend of integration between the "attention economy" and "crypto finance."

Binance founder CZ stated during a Chinese AMA live broadcast at Binance Square that Bitcoin is still in a super cycle, and reaching $200,000 is just a matter of time. The altcoin cycle will eventually return. CZ emphasized that he still holds a large amount of BNB and is confident in the ecosystem, but he repeatedly warned about the high risks of Meme coins and does not recommend beginners to engage in contract trading, suggesting they start with small amounts in spot trading.

XRP has risen 14% so far this year, with three catalysts pushing for a super cycle. Ripple has obtained licenses from the UK FCA and Luxembourg EMI, and the Clarity Act grants it non-security status. ETFs have attracted 1.6 billion in two months. On the technical side, resistance is at $2.40, with 200 EMA support. Breaking through $2.24 to reach $2.50 will be a super cycle signal.

Written by: APRO Team Prediction markets are humanity's collective bets on uncertainty. Prediction, one of humanity's oldest economic and social activities, is undergoing a thorough reconstruction from the underlying logic to the superstructure, driven by the wave of blockchain technology. The prediction market track has never been closer to its moment of destiny. It is no longer just a DeFi branch or a compliant gambling platform, but an awakening super asset market — the Internet Expectation Market (IEM). IEM is not simply a game, probability prediction, or a generalized gambling product. Its revolutionary significance lies in the fact that it has, for the first time, systematically encapsulated expected events (Expected Value, EV), which were previously difficult to standardize and finance, into circulating, tradable, hedgable, and composable financial products. It has pioneered a way to transcend securities, tokens, and

Author: BlockWeeks In the world of cryptocurrency, attention is money, and X (formerly Twitter) has always been the largest wholesale market for attention worldwide. For a long time, users here have been accustomed to a fragmented survival state: searching for "Alpha" (excess return information) on X, then quickly switching to TradingView to look at candlestick charts, and jumping to exchanges to place orders. The "friction costs" caused by switching applications are often the key factor in determining the profit and loss of high-frequency trades. However, with X product lead Nikita Bier officially previewing the launch of Smart-Cashtags (Smart Financial Tags) in early 2026, this fragmented state may become a thing of the past. This is not just an update to a UI component; it marks Elon Musk's effort to build a "super app (The

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of the global asset management giant Fidelity, has released its 2026 crypto market outlook, presenting a compelling view: the cryptocurrency market may be bidding farewell to the traditional four-year cycle and entering a multi-year "super cycle." This judgment is based on two major structural changes: sovereign nations (such as the United States and Kyrgyzstan) officially incorporating crypto assets into strategic reserves, and the trend of publicly traded companies purchasing Bitcoin evolving from individual cases to a global phenomenon. Chris Kuiper, Vice President of Fidelity Research, pointed out that although the short-term market faces correction pressures, the fundamental shift in investor structure means that significant potential has not yet been fully unleashed. For long-term investors, viewing Bitcoin as a store of value, entering the market is "never too late."

Fidelity Vice President of Research Chris Kuiper released a 2026 market outlook, indicating that the four-year crypto cycle may end, and the super cycle could last for several years. Trump signed an executive order on Bitcoin strategic reserves, with over 100 publicly listed companies holding cryptocurrencies. Fidelity believes that institutional funds are only the tip of the iceberg, and the current pullback may just be a mid-cycle correction in the bull market.

Goldman Sachs, a Wall Street investment firm, stated that after experiencing a sluggish fluctuation at the end of 2025, 2026 is expected to mark the beginning of a "tokenization" super cycle.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin's trading price is approximately $90,000, down 2.7% in the past 24 hours. Looking back at 2025, although Bitcoin ended the year with a decline of about 6%, it was a disappointing close.
