Writing: Curry, Deep Tide TechFlow There is a rule at the Shandong drinking table: when serving fish, the fish head must face the main seat. Who it faces, that person is the main character and must be the first to drink. This isn’t written explicitly anywhere, but all Shandong people know it. No one teaches it; they just learn it themselves. Recently, someone made a diagram called "Crypto Circle Shandong Learning." A group of people sit around eating fish, with He Yi sitting in the main seat, while KOLs, coin listing groups, and editors sit on both sides. Caption: When Binance lists a coin, which way should the fish head face? He Yi. On January 1st, He Yi posted a New Year tweet. Riding a white horse, walking along the seaside, with four words: I’ve come riding my horse. A pretty good New Year’s blessing—"riding my horse," referring to the Year of the Horse, with a playful pun. Today, Binance Alpha listed a new coin called "I’ve Come Riding My Horse." It was made by the community and has no direct relation to He Yi. But look at this chain: the top influencer posts a tweet, the community issues a coin, and Alpha lists it.

Platinum (White Metal) continued its fierce rally in early 2026, following last year's strong momentum, becoming the new focus in the global precious metals market. Looking back at 2025, platinum prices hit a record high, with an annual return of over 125%, ranking only behind silver among major precious metals, and outperforming gold overall. As the new year begins, platinum prices continue to rise driven by multiple structural bullish factors, indicating that this rally is not a short-term speculation but a long-term trend based on supply and demand fundamentals and capital flows. Wall Street analysts are optimistic about platinum's market prospects, viewing it as the next hot investment target in precious metals. This article is an excerpt from analyst insights on Seeking Alpha, purely market observation, not investment advice. What is platinum? Platinum (Platinum, also known as White Metal, is one of the rarest metals on Earth, with a lower output than gold and silver, and highly

Trump orders the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 United Nations agencies and 35 non-UN organizations. The White House states that these organizations promote "radical climate policies and global governance ideas" that are against American interests. The organizations include the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The United Nations faces a financial crisis due to the US withholding payments, resulting in a 7% budget cut and the elimination of 2,900 positions.

Bitcoin (BTC) significantly retraced its gains, currently around $91,360 as of January 8. Venezuela will supply oil to the United States indefinitely, and the White House has announced it has begun "marketing" the crude oil, with the first batch of 30 million to 50 million barrels arriving in the United States soon. Barclays Bank is the first global bank to invest in stablecoins, holding Ubyx shares.

Within the 115,000 ping Gigafactory in Texas, Elon Musk and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis engaged in a multi-hour in-depth conversation. Covering topics from artificial intelligence (AI) and the US-China tech race to future energy and education reform, Musk made a series of predictions that are "seemingly crazy but coming true step by step." He described AI and robots as "an ultra-sonic tsunami" and straightforwardly stated: "We are in the era of singularity." White-collar doomsday countdown? AI will replace half of brain work Musk pointed out that AI currently has the capability to replace more than half of white-collar jobs. Positions involving education, administration, accounting, and text processing—tasks that require no physical effort—are all at risk. He emphasized: "Any job that only involves changing information and does not involve the physical world will be replaced by AI first."

Elon Musk predicts that white-collar workers will be the first to be eliminated, with robot doctors surpassing humans within three years. This is not science fiction, but a redistribution of capital. This article breaks down the logic behind this "supersonic tsunami" and analyzes how much time we have left to adapt as elites become redundant.

Solana's leading infrastructure aggregator Jupiter officially launches its native stablecoin JupUSD, which is provided with white-label services by Ethena Labs. Its reserve assets are 90% supported by BlackRock's tokenized fund BUIDL. JupUSD is not an isolated product; its core strategy is to serve as a "unified accounting unit" deeply integrated into Jupiter's increasingly extensive "super app" matrix, including lending, perpetual contracts, spot trading, and prediction markets. As a signaling move, Jupiter plans to gradually convert approximately $500 million worth of USDC in the perpetual contract liquidity pool (JLP) into JupUSD. This marks a decisive step for Jupiter to evolve from a simple trading aggregator to a "super app" that controls the core financial layer, and introduces the first native stablecoin in the Solana DeFi ecosystem to receive deep endorsement from mainstream traditional financial giants.

The administration of President Donald Trump has made it clear in recent weeks that U.S. oil companies will not recover compensation for assets expropriated by Venezuela more than two decades ago unless they return to the country and commit substantial new investment. The White House and the State D

Bitcoin (BTC) opened this week with a sharp surge, temporarily reporting around $92,480 on January 5th. The Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index shifted from "Fear" to "Neutral," indicating an improvement in investor sentiment. The White House has called on American oil giants to invest in Venezuela to recover seized assets. Trump stated that impeaching Venezuelan President Maduro would release the country's $17.3 trillion worth of oil reserves.

FAFO ("F*** Around and Find Out") surged 550% to $0.001416 after Trump administration captured Maduro and the White House posted Trump's FAFO photo. The Solana meme coin has $3.5M market cap and 10B supply, driven by Trump's political messaging.

The white house affirmed that President Donald Trump was in favor of tax exemptions on small Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions. This stance is part of Trump’s more general pro-crypto agenda, which seeks to bring digital assets into the daily economic life without overregulation. This

Article by: André Beganski Translation by: Block unicorn Although asset management firms have previously strived to launch products tracking the spot prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the regulatory environment began to shift as President Trump returned to the White House in January. Many anticipate new opportunities in 2025. According to Farside Investors data, as of December 15, since the historic launch of the spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, it has accumulated a net inflow of $57.7 billion. Compared to $36.2 billion at the beginning of this year, this represents a 59% increase. However, the capital inflow has not been consistently stable. For example, according to CoinGlass data, on October 6, Bitcoin's price approached a historical high of $126,000.

Author: Bloomberg Translation: Saoirse, Foresight News This is yet another year filled with "high certainty bets" and "rapid reversals." From Tokyo's bond trading desks, New York's credit committees, to Istanbul's foreign exchange traders, the markets have brought unexpected gains and caused intense volatility. Gold prices hit record highs, the stock prices of solid mortgage giants swung wildly like "Meme stocks" (stocks driven by social media hype), and a textbook-level arbitrage trade collapsed in an instant. Investors heavily bet on political changes, expanding balance sheets, and fragile market narratives, driving significant stock market rallies and a rush into yield trades, while cryptocurrency strategies largely rely on leverage and expectations, lacking other solid support. After Donald Trump returned to the White House, global financial markets first suffered heavy losses and then recovered; European defense stocks ignited a hot trend; speculators

As the traditional paths to wealth close and AI accelerates the displacement of white-collar jobs, the younger generation is being pushed onto an unseen life trajectory. With low wages, high housing prices, and the influence of social media, patience and effort seem insufficient to achieve social mobility. At this moment, gambling has become a new outlet and a form of collective adaptation based on reality, leading to the emergence of cryptocurrencies and prediction markets. Seeing many platforms rising one after another, former hedge fund manager @systematicls wrote a lengthy article titled "The Prison of Financial Mediocrity," advising investors on how to precisely invest amidst this "long-term decline" supertrend. The young generation trapped in the middle-class cage: Why is the upward mobility path blocked? systematicls first stated, "A person doesn't necessarily have to be locked up to be truly imprisoned; one generation is walking around with invisible shackles."

Trump recently delivered a speech emphasizing the modernization of the financial system and encryption technology, which aligns closely with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's vision for cross-border payments. The speech took place after a meeting with Ripple executives, and Ripple has donated millions of dollars to the inauguration fund. The XRP community views this as a policy benefit, but there has been no official confirmation. This highlights XRP's sensitivity to political signals and the significant gap between hype and actual progress.

Christmas Eve Binance launches USD1 financial management with an annualized rate of 20% for instant purchase. This is a stablecoin issued by the Trump family through World Liberty Financial. Binance invested 2 billion in March, but the tokens were only issued on March 25, making it a "white note investment." On the night of the event, major investors bought BTC aggressively, and after the quota was sold out, an emergency increase to 30 billion USD was made.

The Taiwan Legislative Yuan passed the "Basic Law on Artificial Intelligence" in the third reading on December 23, establishing seven governance principles, with the National Science and Technology Council as the central competent authority. For AI scams and deepfake images, high-risk applications must display warning messages and establish relief mechanisms; for unemployment caused by AI, the government is responsible for employment counseling. However, the Civil Rights and Justice Reform Association criticized this law as being similar to a white paper, lacking provisions on citizens' rights and a ban list on AI misuse.

Despite Donald Trump's return to the White House, the cryptocurrency market is closing 2025 in the red, trading at roughly 20% of its peak levels from the Biden era.

Time always comes unexpectedly, and the K-line always fluctuates unexpectedly. This is the footnote of 2025. Today, we stand at the tail end of time, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future. The year 2025 that is about to pass has not seen grand waves in the cryptocurrency industry, but it has also endured a calm. From the frenzy sparked by TrumpCoin at the beginning of the year, to the return of Ethereum in midsummer, and then to the bloodbath brought by 1011 in late autumn, it outlines the fluctuations of the cryptocurrency market. But setting aside the fluctuations on these K-lines, the cryptocurrency industry has finally ushered in another spring. In January, the White House issued an executive order, completely abandoning the previous approach of "restrictive regulation." In March, Trump launched a Bitcoin reserve plan, incorporating 200,000 seized Bitcoins into the strategic reserves.

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council and one of the final candidates for the Fed chair, has recently been vocal, defending the independence of the Fed on one hand and emphasizing that interest rate decisions need to be based on consensus and data; on the other hand, he clearly stated that there is "ample room" for unconventional rate cuts. Hassett is viewed as a close friend of President Trump, and his candidacy is under significant pressure regarding its independent nature due to this relationship. He suggested that the productivity leap brought by artificial intelligence provides a historic window for the Fed to implement a more accommodative monetary policy, and his policy thinking has been interpreted by the market as leaning towards "Greenspan-style" adaptive management. This personnel competition not only concerns the monetary policy path of the United States for the coming years, but the outcome of the independence struggle will also profoundly affect global risk assets, including the liquidity expectations of Bitcoin and Crypto Assets markets.

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett was initially considered the frontrunner, but Dimon's support for another Kevin—former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh—has shifted the balance. According to Polymarket's predictions, Hassett's probability of winning has dropped from nearly 80% to around 50%, while Warsh's chance has risen from about 10% to approximately 40%. As the competition intensifies, what might have been decided within the year will likely be postponed until early next year. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it allows candidates to prepare more thoroughly and provides the market with more feedback, especially for the United States at a crossroads.

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. However, the financial markets are facing the largest-ever quarterly concentrated derivatives settlement, with approximately $7.1 trillion in risk exposure.

Trump personally wrote the plaques under the portraits of former presidents in the West Wing colonnade of the White House, naming Biden as "the worst president in history," using a self-inking pen for the inscription, accusing Obama of surveilling campaigns and creating the Russiagate hoax.
