To ride the AI wave, Bitcoin mining leader Riot Platforms (NYSE: RIOT) has not hesitated to "sell coins for cash." At the end of last year, it sold a total of 2,201 Bitcoins, earning approximately $200 million. According to Riot Platforms' disclosures, the company sold 383 and 1,818 Bitcoins in November and December of last year, respectively, reducing its holdings to 18,005 Bitcoins. Miner companies sell Bitcoin for various reasons, including covering operational costs, adjusting asset allocation, or responding to market fluctuations.

Morgan Stanley currently manages approximately $6.4 trillion in assets. If the ETF

The price has retreated to around $92,500, and the short-term upward momentum has paused.

Article by: KarenZ, Foresight News On January 6, the index giant MSCI (MSCI Inc.) issued an announcement that brought a glimmer of hope to the beleaguered digital asset treasury company (DAT): in the upcoming index review in February 2026, MSCI has decided not to proceed with the proposal to remove it from the Global Investable Market Index (GIMI). This means that companies listed on the observation list due to holding large amounts of digital assets like Bitcoin will temporarily retain their positions in MSCI indices. However, MSCI also announced a series of restrictive measures and plans to initiate broader consultations on all "non-operational companies" to comprehensively review how non-operational companies are handled in the indices. MSCI defines "non-operational companies" as those that treat digital assets and other non-operational assets as

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI has just completed a Series E funding round of up to $20 billion, with its valuation soaring to $80 billion, in which NVIDIA participated as a core strategic investor. This epic funding not only accelerates the construction of the world's largest GPU cluster but also pushes the AI computing power race to new heights. For the cryptocurrency industry, this event is far more than just tech news; it sends a strong signal illuminating several key tracks at the intersection of "AI + Crypto": from decentralized computing power markets, AI agents and data ownership, to Real World Assets and Depin infrastructure that carry computing value. This article will delve into the capital logic and regulatory challenges behind xAI's funding, and focus on interpreting the specific investment opportunities and paradigm shifts it may bring to the crypto world.

Written by: thiigth Wall Street veteran and Oak Tree Capital's Howard Marks recently made a wake-up call. The gist is: if this AI frenzy doesn't end up becoming a classic bubble burst, it will be the only exception in human financial history. But the problem is, most people are looking in the wrong place. We are still debating whether Nvidia's stock price is too high, or who will be the next Cisco. Everyone is obsessively watching every flicker on the K-line chart, trying to find clues of a collapse. However, the real storm is not at the bustling stock exchanges, but in the silent, hidden corner that determines life and death — the credit market. This is not a math problem about Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios, but a high-stakes gamble built on massive debt. 01 The Disappearing "Cash Cow" In this story, our biggest mistake

By the end of 2025, a Japanese Meme coin called 114514 Coin emerged on the Solana blockchain, and in early January 2026, it experienced a textbook-like surge and crash. Its price skyrocketed up to 10 times in a short period, with a market cap approaching $17 million, only to quickly give back most of the gains, attracting widespread market attention. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of what 114514 Coin is, explore the deep roots of Japanese online subculture behind it, review its dramatic market performance, and offer a professional assessment of its future trends and potential risks based on on-chain data and market psychology. For investors passionate about the Meme coin track, this is not only a case of short-term speculation but also a vivid lesson on market sentiment, liquidity, and risk management.

Cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger recently confirmed a data breach involving its third-party e-commerce partner Global-e, which resulted in the theft of customer information. Customers who purchased cold wallet products through the official online store had their personal data compromised. Following the exposure, the cryptocurrency community expressed concerns about the security of cold wallets and hardware wallets. Customer private keys were not leaked, but user names and contact information were stolen. According to Ledger, the incident did not involve private keys, wallet funds, or payment information. However, the leaked data included user names and contact details. Security researchers pointed out that once such information falls into malicious actors' hands, it could be used for targeted scams, social engineering attacks, and even real-world threats ( such as robbery ). Within hours of the news of the data breach, users reported receiving大量 phishing emails and scam messages. Attackers also impersonated Ledger

Although the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant correction by the end of 2025, investment research firm Fundstrat co-founder and known as the "Wall Street Oracle" Tom Lee remains highly confident and optimistic about this year's market performance. He believes that Bitcoin's upward momentum has not yet peaked, and it could potentially reach new highs as early as January this year. Looking back at Tom Lee's past predictions, they can be described as bold and aggressive. In August of last year, he confidently stated that Bitcoin would break the $200,000 mark before the end of 2025. However, reality is always challenging. Although Bitcoin briefly reached a historic high of approximately $126,000 in October last year, the rally lacked follow-through, and by the end of 2025, it retreated to around $88,500. In response to his inaccurate forecast, Lee appeared on CNBC's program "Squawk Box" on Monday to

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

1. Introduction In early January Beijing time, a message circulated on overseas social platforms and multiple crypto communities: the U.S. government has taken strong actions regarding the Venezuela situation, drawing significant attention from the international community. Almost simultaneously, a trading record on a decentralized prediction platform was rapidly amplified and discussed by the market. Data shows that within just four days starting from December 27, 2025, an account on the prediction market platform Polymarket invested approximately $32,537 USD, continuously betting on the event that "Venezuelan President Maduro will step down before January 31." Notably, this account concentrated large positions just hours before the related news was widely discussed externally. At that time, the market's overall pricing of the likelihood of the event was not high, around 6%. As the situation evolved and the United States

The well-known community platform Discord has secretly submitted an initial public offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), planning to go public with the support of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. This company, which has over 200 million monthly active users and was once valued at $15 billion, rejected a $12 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft in 2021 and has now chosen to list independently. This move comes as the U.S. tech IPO market is warming up, with last year's funding more than double that of 2024. For the cryptocurrency industry, Discord's IPO is not only a business milestone but also a key signal that its status as a core infrastructure of Web3 is gaining recognition from mainstream capital markets.

Written by: Lawyer Yang Qi Stablecoins are being increasingly used by enterprises for settlement, cross-border payments, fund management, and B2B payments. However, in Singapore, "using stablecoins for payments" is often not just a product issue but a typical comprehensive project involving regulatory boundaries + AML/CFT anti-money laundering + technological risk management.

On January 5, 2026, the world's largest digital asset management company Grayscale announced that its Ethereum staking ETF (ETHE) will distribute its first staking yield to shareholders, totaling approximately $9.4 million. This marks the first time that on-chain staking rewards from a U.S.-listed spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded product (ETP) have been converted into "dividends" for traditional financial products, representing a milestone in structural significance. This move not only upgrades a simple price-tracking tool into an income-generating asset but also could trigger a new round of competition among mainstream institutions around "yield," attracting a broader range of traditional income-focused investors into the crypto market.

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 U.S. Supreme Court will rule on January 9 whether Trump's global tariff policy is legal. The policy has generated $200 billion in revenue for federal finances. The court may issue three possible rulings, and the outcome will affect the U.S. president's authority over trade and the global supply chain. If found unconstitutional, the government will face a complex refund process, but it does not rule out the possibility that the executive branch could continue exerting pressure through other means.

Pi Network launches the first multi-signature wallet, marking a major upgrade in ecosystem security. The new wallet requires multiple keys to authorize transactions, eliminating the vulnerability where a single key theft results in total asset loss. Using the ed25519 encryption standard, it supports test transactions within the ecosystem. Developers and enterprises can securely manage shared funds, and community governance will also benefit. The multi-signature mechanism introduces additional authentication points to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that even if some keys are lost, assets will not be compromised.

Bitcoin (BTC) initially declined then rebounded, currently around $92,770 as of January 7. The US government moved out over 225 million USDT, raising concerns. MSCI has decided not to remove MicroStrategy and digital asset funds from the index list for now. According to Bloomberg, the chat platform Discord has secretly submitted an IPO application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

MSCI will not remove the digital asset universe (DAT) from the index for now, and MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose 4.36% after hours. MSCI's proposal in October to exclude companies with digital asset holdings over 50% faced a backlash. Currently, the approach to DAT companies remains unchanged, but ongoing review will continue.

Bitcoin rebounded to around $93,860 today, driven by three main factors: the Venezuela geopolitical crisis triggering safe-haven demand, Trump not ruling out military action against Greenland, technical oversold recovery, and institutional buying resuming. The technical structure has shifted from a descending triangle to a narrowing wedge, with RSI rising above the midline. After holding the $92,000 support, the probability of breaking through the $100,000 barrier increases.

According to Bloomberg, the well-known community messaging platform Discord has secretly submitted an application for an initial public offering (IPO) to U.S. regulators. Discord has over 200 million monthly active users, reached a valuation of $15 billion in 2021, and has previously rejected Microsoft's acquisition offer.

In brief MSCI said it will not change the index treatment for digital-asset treasury companies in its February 2026 review. Initial consultation flagged investor concerns that some DATs appear to be investment vehicles rather than operating firms. Shares of Strategy rose after the

MSCI Index Company officially announced yesterday that it will not temporarily remove "Digital Asset Treasuries" (DATs) holding large amounts of Bitcoin from its global investable market indices. This decision directly alleviates the crisis faced by companies like MicroStrategy (Strategy), which are experiencing hundreds of billions of dollars in passive fund outflows, and caused MSTR's stock price to surge nearly 7% after hours. MSCI Decides to Keep DATs like MicroStrategy in the Index One of the world's largest index providers, MSCI, initiated a consultation last October to exclude digital asset finance companies (DAT) such as MicroStrategy, MARA Holdings, and Riot Platforms from the index, because DATs may exhibit characteristics similar to investment funds and do not meet MSCI's criteria.

The U.S. government is currently processing the export approval procedure for NVIDIA's high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) H200 to China, but the specific approval time has not yet been determined. Amid the tense U.S.-China relations surrounding semiconductor export controls, industry and market attention are focused on this matter. On January 6 local time, at the CES 2026 held in Las Vegas, NVIDIA's Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress stated, "The U.S. government is actively advancing the export approval work for H200," but also mentioned that "the outcome remains uncertain." This is not contradictory to recent remarks by President Donald Trump about restarting exports of H200 chips to China, but it implicitly suggests that the administrative process is still incomplete. NVIDIA has been one of the most closely watched companies in the recent AI semiconductor market, with H200 being one of its flagship products. This product is based on the current generation of NVIDIA GPU architecture.

CryptoQuant’s brief, blunt tweet landed like a splash in a calm pond: “Bitmine, Ethereum’s largest DAT, has started staking. In just two weeks, they’ve staked ~771K ETH, about 18.6% of their 4.14M ETH holdings. They’re not just buying ETH with dollars, they’re now earning it through staking

KOSPI, South Korea's Composite Stock Price Index, first surpassed the 4,500-point mark, while the net asset scale of domestic listed index funds(ETF) market first exceeded 300 trillion Korean won. This is interpreted as a result of investor influx driven by a strong stock market and the diversification of ETF products. According to the Financial Investment Association, as of January 5, 2026, the total net assets of domestic ETFs amounted to 303.5794 trillion Korean won. Considering that the net assets on the previous day, January 4, were 298.2461 trillion Korean won, this means an increase of over 5 trillion Korean won in just one day. The direct background is that the KOSPI index closed 67.96 points higher than the previous trading day, reaching 4,525.48 points, setting a new record high. ETFs are "passively" managed products that fully track specific stock price indices and do not have dedicated fund managers actively adjusting the investment portfolio.
