Article by: Vaidik Mandloi Translation by: Block unicorn Preface Last week, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced plans to build a 24/7 blockchain-based tokenized securities trading platform. At first glance, this seems like just another headline about "traditional finance adopting blockchain." For those who have been following the cryptocurrency space over the past few years, tokenized stocks, on-chain settlement, and stablecoin financing are already well-known concepts. However, this announcement is not about testing new technology but about challenging market sectors that rarely see change. The stock market still operates with fixed trading hours and delayed settlement mechanisms, mainly because this system has effectively managed risk for decades. Trades are conducted within a short time window, and clearing and

MegaETH is a newly launched ultra-high-performance EVM L2 project, with a public sale oversubscribed by 27.8 times and $20 million raised. Users can participate in game interactions to earn potential airdrops. The project has strong backing, including well-known investors such as Ethereum founder Vitalik and others.

Author: 137Labs Recently, OpenMind has once again been brought into the crypto market spotlight due to the public sale of ROBO. But if you really treat it as a “Web3 project,” you’re probably off to the wrong start. What OpenMind is doing is actually very “old school”—it’s addressing a problem that has existed in the robotics industry for over a decade: Robots almost cannot cooperate well with each other. The problem in the robotics industry is not “lack of intelligence.” Today’s robots are already very smart. They have vision, speech, navigation, and large models, with capabilities visibly improving. The real issue is: These robots operate independently. Different manufacturers, different systems, different protocols— Almost no robot can collaborate with another “outsider” to complete a task. Even in the same space, they

The US Dollar Index fell below 96 this week, hitting a four-year low since February 2022, and broke below a key trendline that has supported it for 15 years since 2011. Trump downplayed the decline, saying "the dollar is performing very well," and subsequently, the DXY recorded its largest single-day drop since April. Historical data shows that after the dollar broke 96 in 2017 and 2020, Bitcoin experienced explosive growth, with technical RSI bullish divergence expected to rebound to $95,000.

This week, investors in Bitcoin, gold, and silver are closely watching key economic signals from the US, factors that could shape market sentiment as well as the value of these assets. Amidst Bitcoin holding around $88,000, gold approaching the $5,000/ounce mark, and silver

Predictive markets are reshaping the way the public thinks about the future, with applications ranging from elections to inflation rate forecasts. However, even when markets appear active and well-designed, deep-seated issues such as price distortions and unfair outcomes still exist. This article delves into seven hidden structural inefficiencies. It is based on an article by Pi Squared, organized, compiled, and written by PANews. (Background note: Are prediction markets about "truth," or are they a "money laundering" venue for insider trading?) (Additional background: The ban on prediction markets has taken the first shot!

The trading platform Nifty Gateway, which once stood at the forefront of the NFT digital art wave, announced that it will cease operations entirely on February 23, 2026. The platform will enter a "withdraw-only" mode starting today, giving users one month to transfer their NFTs or funds out of their accounts.

By simplifying the purchasing process and supporting credit card payments, Nifty Gateway successfully brought digital collectibles to a broader mainstream audience.

Daily Market Highlights and Trend Analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation The global macro market is currently in a fierce storm triggered by geopolitical games, fiscal crises, and industrial cycle resonances, with risk aversion and speculative fervor coexisting. As the US ICE shooting incident led to a breakdown in congressional budget negotiations, Polymarket data shows that the probability of the US government shutting down before January 31 has soared to 79%. Coupled with the Trump administration's tariffs and island purchase threats against Canada and Greenland, as well as the deployment of the US Navy's "Lincoln" aircraft carrier to the Middle East to address the Iran situation, global "credit devaluation" trading has reached a climax. Spot gold has historically broken through the $5,000 mark, rising over 2.3% intraday to a high of $5,106, with US banks aggressively predicting it will reach $6,000 by spring 2026; spot silver is also driven by the rigid demand from AI and solar energy industries, breaking

Author: Citrini Research Translation: Felix, PANews The chances for retail investors to achieve high returns in the stock market are becoming increasingly slim. The underlying reason may be related to companies delaying their IPOs. Research firm Citrini has published an article exploring the issue of modern capital markets where companies tend to remain private for extended periods, leading to growth value being primarily captured by VC institutions, and public markets have largely become liquidity exit tools. Below are the details. It is simply nonsense for companies to remain private for the long term. While I personally understand the motivations behind this and do not blame founders for doing so, such actions undermine the system that originally created these companies. Fundamentally, it is a breach of the promise that allows capitalism to operate. The social contract in the United States has always worked quite well for capital markets. That's right, you might be working at a dull small business, or have a job that is not...

Ray Dalio warns at Davos that a trade war could escalate into a "capital war," leading to a decline in trust in dollar assets and impacting the U.S. bond market.

Author: Nancy, PANews Historically, in the battle for customer acquisition in finance, "giving users a share of the profits" has always been the simplest and most effective weapon. More than ten years ago, Yu'e Bao used visible and easily calculable returns to break through ordinary people's understanding of financial products and launched a positive challenge to traditional finance. A similar game is now being replayed across the ocean. In recent days, Wall Street elites and crypto-native giants have been fiercely contesting the market structure legislation concerning stablecoin yields. One side attempts to safeguard the high walls of traditional finance through regulation, while the other tries to compete for market share with real money. Turning our gaze back to China, the digital renminbi is undergoing a crucial upgrade. As is well known, over the years of pilot programs, red envelope incentives, scene-based promotion, and policy pushes have been repeatedly attempted, but the digital renminbi has yet to truly enter the homes of ordinary people. With the launch of Digital RMB 2.0 this year, which now has the ability to generate interest, it has finally provided users with a

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."
