According to PANews, the BIS general manager criticized stablecoins as unlikely to achieve large-scale trusted payments, arguing that tokenized deposits have greater advantages. Tether CEO Ardoino responded that stablecoins are 100% backed by reserves of liquid assets, while tokenized deposits rely largely on promises and lack deposit insurance, with liquid reserves of around 10%. He said the BIS is concerned that stablecoins’ “emperor’s new clothes” will be exposed, and questioned how the financial system would change if people shifted their savings to stablecoins. Ardoino said the truth is now coming to light.

According to an on-chain analyst, five hours ago, an address suspected to belong to XXAntiWar bought 17.56 million Niu Lai tokens worth approximately $1.51 million while chasing the rally after Niu Lai’s market cap reached $86 million.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said BTC’s weekly realized cap grew significantly within one week, increasing by over $4.6 billion, indicating that new capital is entering the market and supporting the rise. High-level selling has also led to newly created UTXOs, but overall demand still outweighs selling pressure, showing a pattern similar to the previous bear market. Although this is the strongest weekly growth since the bear market began, the 30-day average rate of change is around 0.4%, and the subsequent trend still requires further confirmation.

Last quarter, when Bitcoin had fallen more than 50% from its peak, I argued that a bear market is not a system flaw but part of Bitcoin’s early adoption process. At the beginning of this year, I also explained why Bitcoin could reach $11 million by 2036. I still believe this scenario could occur, but the more important question is: what path will Bitcoin take to get there?
Bitcoin’s early cycles saw hundredfold gains, while returns in the most recent cycles have narrowed significantly. If this trend continues, Bitcoin will increasingly resemble a mature asset, with returns gradually normalizing.
The power-law model captures this change well. (Referring to the relatively stable long-term power-law relationship between Bitcoin’s price and time) As

Every few years, a technology brings to the forefront a question that economics alone cannot answer: If a machine can do your job better, more cheaply, and without rest, what are you supposed to do? And who owns the output created by these machines?
This article takes an in-depth look at one of the most ambitious experiments currently underway in crypto. Virtuals Protocol is building a near-“nation-state-level” infrastructure stack for AI agents: identity, banking, commerce, capital markets, and, on top of that, physical robots. Its bet is that ordinary people should be able to own the autonomous machines that are beginning to create real economic value; and the financial rails inadvertently left behind by the era of crypto speculation happen to be perfect for this purpose. The question this article asks is: Does the execution live up to this
