Interview: The Round Trip Compiled & Edited by Yuliya, PANews As the AI wave sweeps the globe at an unprecedented speed, a "arms race" centered around computing power has already begun. When Nvidia's market value surpasses one trillion, and giants like AWS and Google Cloud almost monopolize cloud computing power, a profound challenge faces all AI innovators: Will the high concentration of computing power stifle open innovation and lock the future of AI within the "walled gardens" of a few companies? With a successful track record of selling a company for $60 million to Snapchat and founding Product Science, which provides AI code optimization services for top enterprises, Gonka AI's co-founders David and Daniel

As the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to review and vote on the key Digital Asset Market Structure Bill on January 15, 2026, the XRP market is holding its breath. Driven by optimistic expectations, XRP's price surged to $2.4154 on January 6, reaching a new high since November last year, followed by a slight correction due to profit-taking. Despite short-term volatility, XRP spot ETF continues to see strong capital inflows — with a net inflow of $1.25 billion since listing, far surpassing the Bitcoin ETF during the same period — along with positive fundamentals supporting a medium-term bullish outlook. Market attention is focused on upward targets of $3.0 and even $3.66.

BTC broke above $94,000 two days ago, but experienced a significant pullback yesterday. However, it was also mentioned yesterday that if BTC falls below $91,000 again, it will enter a bear market. Fortunately, the daily chart price is still holding above $92,000. If there is a clear rebound in the next few days, there is a chance to follow the US stock market upward. To confirm a return to an upward trend, the price needs to effectively break through $97,000. Currently, the selling pressure at $94,000 is quite strong, so it is expected to be difficult to reach in the short term. Therefore, holding above $91,000 is more important at the moment. Let's also look at on-chain data. Even if the price returns above $92,000, the current on-chain demand still remains insufficient. A larger rebound is needed to support a breakthrough of $97,000. In a market with uncertain sentiment and low trading volume, on-chain activity has not shown obvious improvement recently. However, as the holiday ends, many investors who had reduced their trading are gradually

Coinbase Global Investment Research Director David Duong issued a strong warning, pointing out that the progress of quantum computing may surpass market expectations, with approximately one-third of Bitcoin supply potentially facing the risk of "long-term quantum attacks" due to their public keys being exposed on-chain. Based on on-chain data from the 900,000th block, it is estimated that about 65 million Bitcoins (worth approximately $100 billion) have addresses that are more vulnerable. This risk has gained the attention of institutions. BlackRock explicitly listed quantum computing as a risk factor in its revised Bitcoin ETF prospectus. This marks a new stage where Bitcoin's security narrative is shifting from theoretical discussion to real risk assessment and defensive preparations.

XRP retraced to $2.3028 after five consecutive days of gains, hitting an 11-month high of $2.4154. The Senate will review the Market Structure Bill on January 15, and XRP has surged 33% on the news. ETF total inflows reached $1.25 billion with zero outflows. It broke below the 200-day moving average but remains above the 50-day moving average. The medium-term target is $3.0, and the long-term target is $3.66.

Global financial giant Morgan Stanley has submitted documents to the US SEC to apply for spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs. This not only marks the bank managing trillions of dollars in assets officially entering the cryptocurrency fund space but also could inject new vitality into the traditional financial markets. If approved, these products will provide qualified investors with a regulated direct investment channel in digital assets, further promoting the integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream investment portfolios. This application comes at a time when the US spot cryptocurrency ETF market assets under management have surpassed $150 billion, indicating sustained strong institutional demand.

The beginning of 2026 has seen a "good start" for US spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a single-day net inflow of up to $6.972 billion on Monday, January 5th, marking a three-month high since October 7, 2025. In the first two trading days of 2026, the net inflow of funds into such products has approached $1.2 billion, coinciding with Bitcoin's price rebounding from around $87,000 to above $94,000. Historical data shows that prolonged ETF outflows often coincide with local market bottoms, and the current shift from negative to positive fund flows, combined with the rebound of the Coinbase premium index, indicates that the market's "capitulation selling" phase may have ended. Institutional reallocation is injecting strong momentum into the market.

After holding the $92,000 support, the probability of breaking through the $100,000 barrier increases.
