Why is the exchange rate of 1 British Pound always higher than 1 US Dollar? This sense of dissonance is as confusing as seeing Meme coins with 8 decimal places. The US economy is larger, and the dollar is the lifeblood of global finance, but the price in currency units is not a scoreboard of national strength—viewed through a crypto lens, all of this becomes clear.

Author: DAN KOE Translation: randomarea Introduction Society makes you think that having a wide range of interests is a flaw. Go to school. Get a degree. Find a job. Retire at some point. But this sequence of life has too many problems. We no longer live in the industrial age. Betting everything on a single skill is almost like slow suicide. Today, we probably all realize: mechanical lifestyles and siloed learning are extremely dangerous to your mind and soul. People can also feel that we are experiencing a “Second Renaissance.” Your curiosity and desire to learn are advantages in the modern world — but there’s still a missing piece. For a long time, I kept learning, learning, learning. I was trapped in “tutorial hell.” Some people might call it “shiny object syndrome.”

Dan explicitly states: society makes you think that having multiple interests is a weakness. Most people follow a sequence: go to school, get a degree, find a job, retire at some point. But he points out that this entire setup has many problems. We are no longer living in the industrial age. Focusing solely on a single skill is almost equivalent to slow death. He describes: we are currently in a "Second Renaissance." In today's world, curiosity and a love for learning are advantages. Dan reflects on his own experience in the article, stating that over the years he has engaged in various learning pursuits but fell into a cycle of absorbing tutorials without applying them. The short-term sense of achievement mainly comes from understanding more, but life and career have not fundamentally improved because of it. It wasn't until he realized he needed a "container" that could integrate interests and turn curiosity into valuable results that he found a breakthrough. Starting from industrial division of labor: specialists are not necessarily more free; they may be more dependent.

The White House stated that taxpayer funds should be used for national interests.

Original author: Lawyer Li Xinyi, Mankun Blockchain Introduction A ruling by the Hangzhou Internet Court clearly demonstrates that "Fat Tiger Vaccination" NFT infringement case: decentralization does not mean no responsibility. Behind the technology, there are still clear legal boundaries. Many people think that since they only develop technology, build platforms, and provide tools, and do not directly participate in infringement, they should be fine. But this ruling clearly states: technology itself cannot serve as a "shield" against infringement; if used improperly, it can still be illegal. In this article, we will discuss a key but often overlooked concept: "Technological Evasion of Copyright Infringement." What is it? How can ordinary people avoid it? And how should we find a balance between innovation and compliance? Technological Evasion of Infringement: The Deadly Shortcut to Bypass "Digital Locks" In the Web3 and digital creation fields, there is a form of infringement that is often underestimated: it is not direct theft.

Decentralized prediction markets Polymarket have rapidly gained popularity in recent years, becoming a focal point for the crypto community and macro traders. Most users have heard the core phrase of Polymarket: "YES + NO = 1," but this seemingly intuitive formula actually involves the pricing logic of prediction markets, shared order book design, and many misunderstood arbitrage strategies. Researcher DFarm approaches from a mechanism perspective, analyzing why Polymarket must ensure that the prices of YES and NO sum to 1, and how this design impacts liquidity and trading behavior. The following is an excerpt compiled by Chain News. YES and NO are not two separate assets but a split of one dollar Many newcomers instinctively think that YES and NO are like two independent stocks, each freely priced, leading to the misconception that "YES

Original Title: Why the DeFi Lending Moat Is Bigger Than You Think Original Author: Silvio, Cryptocurrency Researcher Original Compilation: Dingdang, Odaily Planet Daily As the market share of vaults and curators in the DeFi world continues to grow, the market begins to question: Are lending protocols gradually squeezing profit margins? Is lending no longer a good business? But if we shift our perspective back to the entire on-chain credit value chain, the conclusion is quite the opposite. Lending protocols still hold the strongest moat in this value chain. We can quantify this with data. In Aave and

No one believes the cry of "The wolf is coming." I usually tune out Peter Schiff's words; they go in one ear and out the other. He constantly criticizes Bitcoin as a scam, nitpicks over high-performing tech stocks, and always pours out pessimistic tones. The market often regards him as a "broken clock." But some things must be acknowledged. This time, Schiff is right. The current market situation is unfolding according to his predictions. Gold and silver prices are soaring. This cannot be simply attributed to speculative hype. It is a terrifying warning to the core of our economic system and a silent scream from the market. Let's think rationally. Investors around the world are selling what are considered the safest U.S. Treasuries as if they were throwing away broken shoes. Abandoning interest-paying bonds and fleeing into the interest-free "non-yielding assets" of gold—such a phenomenon is happening. This is a paradox that capitalism's logic cannot explain. This is投

The "tokenization" promoted by DTCC is not about putting stocks on the blockchain, but rather a digital upgrade of securities ownership.

Author: Anita @anitahityou If you only look at tech news in 2025, you'll think the world is in great shape: AI investments are still ongoing, data center construction in North America is accelerating, and crypto miners have finally "come out of the cycle," successfully transforming their originally highly volatile mining business into stable AI computing power services. But in Wall Street's credit departments, the atmosphere is completely different. Credit investors are not discussing model performance, nor do they care which generation of GPU is stronger. They are focused on the core assumptions in their Excel spreadsheets, beginning to feel a chill: it seems we are using a 10-year real estate financing model to buy a perishable product with only an 18-month shelf life. Reuters and Bloomberg's continuous reports in December reveal only the tip of the iceberg: AI

Author: Frank, MSX Research Institute After seeing the last person, Trump's thoughts have once again changed. Just as Wall Street was almost certain that the new Fed Chair would be Kevin Hassett, last week, a recent meeting at the White House between Trump and former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh once again added suspense to the betting. Unlike previous perfunctory meetings, after this one, Trump's attitude toward Warsh shifted subtly but significantly, clearly giving Warsh more recognition, even stating in an interview with The Wall Street Journal: "I think both Kevins are great," with Warsh now on par with Hassett, becoming a leading candidate for Fed Chair. The shift from Hassett to Warsh in the "dual Kevins contest" not only signifies a personnel change from "loyal dovish" to "Fed reformist,"

I recently saw an interview video online discussing Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire reminiscing about his experiences selling NVIDIA shares. Regarding selling NVIDIA, I had previously read about SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son's story of selling his NVIDIA shares. This time, I saw another well-known investor expressing regret over NVIDIA, which gave me some new perspectives to think about. In the interview, Shaun talked about his investment story with NVIDIA: He bought in during NVIDIA's IPO, at the age of only 13. Because he enjoyed playing games, he was very optimistic about NVIDIA's future. He held onto NVIDIA shares until its market cap reached $600 billion. With NVIDIA valued at $600 billion, half of its revenue came from gaming and data center businesses. He thought the valuation was too crazy, so he sold. As we all know, the story afterward is that NVIDIA's market cap soared, now exceeding 5 trillion.

After stepping away to focus on personal matters, he said the break acted as a reset, giving him time to think more clearly about his direction.

Author: David Christopher Source: Bankless Translation: Shan Ouba, Golden Finance Looking back at the growth trajectory of the cryptocurrency market in 2025, Hyperliquid has always been a core topic that cannot be ignored. This exchange attracted the attention of many users on the crypto Twitter platform through an epic airdrop at the end of 2024 and impressive price movements, prompting them to re-evaluate this product. By the end of 2025, it had completed a stunning transformation — ranking fourth in the cryptocurrency industry's revenue list, with annual revenue exceeding $650 million, and its perpetual contract trading volume once accounted for up to 70%, making it a truly phenomenon-level platform.

Written by Paula Albu Compiled by: AididioJP, Foresight News In a recent interview, Fabienne van Kleef, Senior Analyst at Global Digital Finance, delved into the current state of tokenized assets, their application scenarios, and their potential reshaping of financial markets. She pointed out that tokenization is quickly becoming a core driver of financial infrastructure evolution, and its impact may extend beyond short-term fluctuations to touch the deep logic of market structure, liquidity, and global capital flows. Tokenization is skyrocketing, and some (like the BlackRock CEO) claim that its importance may surpass AI in the future, what do you think of this trend? Paula Albu: Yes, tokenization, as a transformative force, is rapidly rising in the financial sector. According to 21.c

The crypto market has been turbulent recently, and crypto market liquidity has also become a focus of attention. In this context, users are more concerned about the exchange's every move. Golden Finance invited HTX Molly to conduct an exclusive interview. Molly talked about the investment products that ordinary investors should pay attention to at present, discussed the core mission of cryptocurrency exchanges, and shared the secret of Huobi HTX's strides after 12 years of ups and downs, and Huobi HTX is still working towards the "three" goals. In the process of combining encryption technology with traditional finance, it is necessary to think about the essence of encryption technology, what problems it can solve, and finally form a closed loop of value before it can bring real liquidity. If an exchange does not have the determination to become a top exchange, it has no prospects. Therefore, Huobi HTX really wants to be among the top streams, and only when it wants to be the top stream, it will demand itself with the high standards of the top stream. forever
