One of the Big Four accounting firms, PwC, announced a major strategic shift in early 2026: from years of cautious attitude towards cryptocurrencies to a full "tilt" investment. Behind this decision is the dramatic change in the US regulatory environment. With the signing of the GENIUS Act and the shift in personnel and attitude at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the compliance path for crypto assets has become clearer than ever. Paul Griggs, head of PwC US, stated frankly that clear rules give companies more confidence to enter this asset class. This move is not only a business decision for PwC but also a strong industry signal, marking that mainstream traditional financial institutions' acceptance of the crypto industry has shifted from tentative to substantive participation.

Boris Cherny, Claude Code Developer Compilation & Editing: XiaoHu AI You may have heard of Claude Code, or even used it to write some code or edit documents. But have you ever wondered: if AI is not just a "temporary tool," but a formal member of your development process, or even an automated collaboration system—how would it change the way you work? As the father of Claude Code, Boris Cherny wrote a very detailed tweet sharing how he efficiently uses this tool, and how he and his team deeply integrate Claude into the entire engineering workflow in practical work. This article will systematically organize and interpret his experience in a simple way. How does Boris make AI an automated partner in his workflow?

In 2017, Cardano launched quietly. No viral hype. No loud influencers. Just a $0.002–$0.03 entry range, a slow build, and a lot of doubt. Critics questioned its pace, its research-heavy approach, and whether it could ever compete with Ethereum. Fast forward to today: Cardano trades around $0.35,

_Major crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, saw late December sell-offs, ending 2025 below seasonal norms._ Bitcoin entered the final quarter of 2025 with strong expectations, yet the year ended differently. Data released by Coinglass shows a sharp reversal in fourth-quarter

Bitcoin’s long-observed four-year market cycle is facing renewed skepticism after the asset closed 2025 lower than it opened, a first for a post-halving year. For the First Time Ever, Bitcoin’s Post-Halving Year Ends in the Red The four-year cycle refers to a recurring pattern tied to Bitcoin’s

Ethereum experienced a difficult Q4 in 2025, closing with a 28.28% loss. This marked its fourth worst Q4 ever, characterized by four months of declines and an absence of the typical year-end rally. Looking ahead, Ethereum prepares for significant upgrades in 2026 to enhance its infrastructure.

An old claim in the XRP community has come up again. The idea is simple and tempting: if the XRP price ever reaches $1,000, holding just 1,000 tokens would turn someone into a millionaire.  But crypto commentator Martyn Lucas says this claim falls apart once basic math enters the picture. Lucas

Market Trend The cryptocurrency market is in the final phase of 2025's consolidation and volatility. Due to liquidity shortages during Christmas week, the market exhibits typical "year-end stockpile battle" characteristics. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are constrained by the largest-ever options settlement, significantly amplifying volatility. Although macro-level regulatory uncertainties still cast a shadow, institutions are accelerating their shift from "narrative-driven" to "fundamentals-driven" approaches. It is expected that 2026 will officially usher in an era of practical and deeply integrated institutional participation. Mainstream Coins BTC In the short term, there is a five-wave rebound opportunity to challenge $89,400. On the fundamental side, Japan's Metaplanet has continued to buy 4,279 BTC in Q4, reinforcing long-term holding confidence. However, caution is needed: the risk of long squeeze after settlement day still exists. If the $90,600 resistance is not broken, watch out for a price retracement to $88,000.

When 2025 kicks off with a series of positive developments, the three top voices in the crypto world—Arthur Hayes, Tom Lee, and Michael Saylor—unanimously painted a grand blueprint for Bitcoin's price surge. Their forecast ranges focused on $150,000 to $250,000, firmly believing that driven by pro-crypto presidents, institutional adoption, and ETF capital inflows, Bitcoin would easily break through its October all-time high of $126,080. However, the actual trajectory was quite the opposite. By late December, Bitcoin's price had fallen about 10% year-to-date, hovering around $86,000, forming a stark contrast to all optimistic predictions. Behind this collective misjudgment are macro headwinds that were not fully priced in, investor fatigue, and a sudden shift in market risk sentiment. Reflecting on this "prophecy failure" is not only an examination of the perspectives of these three industry leaders but also a profound reflection on the driving logic of crypto asset prices: in the complex and ever-changing global financial markets, how much influence does a single industry narrative truly hold?

Copper prices soared more than 30% in 2025, shattering the $12,000 per ton barrier in December for the first time ever—the strongest annual performance since 2009.

On Binance's "smart money" leaderboard, a strange avatar has long occupied the top spot - a green cucumber cat. There are no real people showing their faces, no loud shouting of orders, no "ever-profitable" claims.

If it weren't for the astonishing data column showing a total real account profit of up to $45 million, it would be hard to associate this seemingly somewhat naive green cat with the coldest hunters on the cryptocurrency battlefield. Recently, this mysterious top deity guest appeared on Binance's Chinese radio station and had an in-depth conversation lasting over an hour with the host Sisi (@sisibinance). Unlike the "get-rich-quick schemes" and "hundredfold myths" prevalent in the market, what Cat Sister brings is a review of human nature, macro cycles, and self-analysis. She will not talk about

Author: DeFi Investor Translator: Shan Ouba, Golden Finance It is no exaggeration to say that the year 2025 will be a brutal year for most crypto practitioners. I never anticipated that the market would experience such a brutal crash at the end of the year. But as traders and investors, our duty is to adapt to the ever-changing market. Not taking action or refusing to accept reality is by no means a viable strategy. I would like to share some thoughts: why this cycle is so difficult to grasp and my outlook for the future. 1. The number of projects and tokens is experiencing explosive growth. In 2017, the number of projects in the crypto market was only a few hundred. By 2021, this number had increased tenfold to thousands. By 2025, with the help of zero-threshold token issuance platforms like Pump Fun, the number of tokens in the market has surged to millions. When a large number of project teams

The 2025 Taiwan Internet Report survey shows that 43.19% of the population in Taiwan has used AI. Although they have a high level of confidence in information recognition, only 10% of the population regularly verifies information, which poses a risk of false confidence. Taiwanese people's AI literacy is improving, and news sources are shifting towards social media. --------------------------------- Have you ever encountered someone in a community who just throws out AI responses as correct answers, but the content is actually full of errors? There might be quite a few people like that! The Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) recently announced the 2025 Taiwan Internet Report, revealing an increase in generative AI literacy in Taiwan. Furthermore, the public's channels for accessing news have significantly shifted from traditional television to social media platforms. However, there is a general occurrence of "high confidence, low action" in information verification behavior.

Although the number of attacks has decreased, the amount of funds stolen has skyrocketed. North Korean hackers specialize in "whale hunting" and have set a new record ------------------------------------------ 2025 is considered the darkest year in the history of Crypto asset security, with the total funds stolen by global hackers estimated to reach 6.5 billion USD. According to blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis and multiple reports, there has been a significant shift in criminal patterns this year: although the total number of attack incidents has decreased, the scale and destructive power of individual attacks have greatly increased, showing a terrifying trend of "quality over quantity." In this global digital plunder war, hacker organizations linked to the North Korean government (DPRK) have played the most critical role, becoming an ever-present shadow in the market.

Daily Market Highlights and Trend Analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation Despite the US November CPI year-over-year unexpectedly dropping to 2.7%, with core CPI falling to 2.6%, hitting a new low since 2021, fueling market expectations of the Federal Reserve accelerating rate cuts, the reliability of this report has been widely questioned due to data collection disruptions caused by the government shutdown. The market wavers amid complex signals; on one hand, White House officials believe the Fed has "ample room to cut rates"; on the other hand, the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 0.75%, a 30-year high, continuing to tighten global liquidity. On the regulatory front, the CLARITY Act, aimed at clarifying rules for the crypto market, is expected to enter the Senate for review in January next year, bringing positive industry expectations.

The Bittensor network (TAO) completed its first-ever halving event, slashing the block reward from 1 TAO to 0.5 TAO per block. This reduces daily token emissions from approximately 7,200 TAO to 3,600 TAO, marking a pivotal supply-side milestone for the decentralized machine intelligence protocol.

The highly anticipated decentralized artificial intelligence network Bittensor successfully executed its first ever block reward halving on December 14. According to the established rules, the daily release of TAO tokens has been reduced from 7200 to 3600, marking the official entry of its issuance rate into a long-term decay phase. Although halving events are traditionally seen as key catalysts for scarcity value, the market responded tepidly after the event, with TAO price dropping approximately 8% in a single day. This halving not only tests the tokenomics but also may trigger a profound reshuffle within its internal “subnet” mining ecosystem, where efficient subnets capable of generating real revenue will be favored, while “zombie subnets” face elimination.
