Summary: Hello everyone, long time no see. Sorry for the delay in updates; I have been working on designing and developing an AI product for the past three months. Honestly, changing direction is not easy. Any innovation must be built on a clear understanding of the industry boundaries before making incremental improvements beyond those boundaries. Therefore, I needed to acquire a lot of foundational knowledge in AI. Now that the product is preliminarily completed, I have more time to discuss macroeconomic environments and Web3 observations with everyone. Today, I want to talk about an interesting topic: USDT negative premium and the ongoing strengthening of the RMB. How should we view this, and how can we respond? Overall, I believe everyone doesn't need to panic too much. When building your investment portfolio, it's still wise to maintain a certain proportion of stablecoin assets. However, you can also use on-chain exchange rate hedging to appropriately avoid some foreign exchange losses.
Why is the RMB entering an appreciation phase?

January: MiCA Fully Enters into Force, European Market Completes "Quality Upgrade"
【Event】The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) for electronic money tokens (EMT) and asset-referenced tokens (ART) officially comes into effect. The European Banking Authority (EBA) has delisted more than 15 unlicensed algorithmic stablecoins and offshore USD stablecoins.
【In-Depth Analysis】This is the world's first major economy to complete a "clean-up" of the stablecoin market. The historical mission of algorithmic stablecoins in compliant markets has essentially ended. The market logic has shifted from "efficiency first" to "solvency first." This has also forced global exchanges to upgrade their token listing review mechanisms—without real-time proof of reserves (PoR) and clear legal entities, these assets will lose

If you participated in the 2025 Token Generation Event (TGE) trading, you might be familiar with this default script: a lively first week, followed by a slow decline, and finally having to accept the fact that the "issue price is the highest point."
Most newly launched tokens not only perform poorly but even crash outright because the market finally begins to treat tokenomics and liquidity as fundamentals rather than optional add-ons.
Nevertheless, a few tokens achieved significant growth by the end of 2025 compared to their TGE prices. The rise of these tokens is not a fleeting phenomenon nor due to buying at extreme lows for profit, but indicates genuine market demand.
Below are the tokens I summarized as performing strongly in 2025: $ASTER, $FOLK

At the end of 2025, a rare consensus emerged among the world's top financial institutions.
From a16z, Coinbase, Messari to Grayscale, Galaxy Digital, from BlackRock, Fidelity to J.P. Morgan, Standard Chartered Bank, more than 30 institutions in their respective 2026 outlook reports unanimously point to the same conclusion: the cryptocurrency industry is undergoing a historic transition from "adolescence's turbulence" to "adulthood's stability."
If the 2021-2022 cycle was driven by retail speculation, high leverage, and narrative bubbles, then most institutions believe that 2026 will be a year of substantial growth built on regulatory clarity, macro hedging demand, and the practical application of technology. This stage has a professional name—

Future Asset Group plans to acquire Korea's fourth-largest cryptocurrency exchange Korbit, with an involved valuation of approximately $70 million to $100 million. This move reflects traditional financial institutions' active entry into the digital asset market, but Korbit faces shrinking market share and regulatory pressures, making the acquisition prospects uncertain.

The past year, the United States experienced a crypto policy revolution.
In less than a year of his second term, President Donald Trump appointed industry-friendly regulators who ended investigations into crypto companies, made it easier for banks to hold crypto assets, and also facilitated asset management firms in launching crypto-related ETFs.
Under Trump's push, lawmakers passed landmark legislation on stablecoins and made significant progress in market structure legislation.
After these victories became facts, it’s natural to wonder whether 2026 will still be an important year for crypto policy.
The short answer is: yes.
So, without further ado, here are some key dates for US crypto policy in 2026.
January
January is destined to be a month of events

Huang Renxun pointed out in a 2007 interview that the key to future computing lies in mobile devices, rather than traditional computers or servers. He emphasized the importance of a broad strategic vision for the technology industry. Today, with the rise of AI and mobile platforms, NVIDIA has taken early steps, demonstrating his foresight.

Digital Renminbi 2.0 will start accruing interest from 2026, marking its transition from "Digital Cash 1.0" to "Digital Deposit Currency 2.0."

Crypto options are expected to become a flagship financial instrument by 2026, thanks to the convergence of three major trends: traditional DeFi yields are being squeezed by the "yield apocalypse," a new generation of simplified "entry-level products" abstracts options into a one-click trading interface, and Coinbase's $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit has gained institutional recognition.
Although on-chain options currently account for only a small portion of crypto derivatives trading volume, perpetual contracts still dominate the market. This gap is similar to the relationship between TradFi options on Robinhood

Over the past year, a fascinating phenomenon has repeatedly emerged:
U.S. stocks and precious metals have hit new highs driven by productivity dividends and AI narratives, while the crypto market has fallen into cyclical liquidity droughts.
Many investors lament that "the end of the crypto world is the US stock market," and some have even chosen to exit completely.
But what if I told you that these two seemingly opposing wealth paths are converging historically through tokenization? Would you still choose to leave?
Why do top global institutions, from BlackRock to Coinbase, all have an optimistic outlook on asset tokenization in their 2025 annual forecasts?
This is not just simple "stock transfer." Starting from the underlying logic, this article comprehensively dissects the fundamental principles behind the tokenization of the US stock market and reviews the current trading platforms and leading KO involved in stock tokenization.

The final airdrop suspense of this year came to an end last night (December 30). Perp DEX (Decentralized Perpetual Contract Exchange) Lighter announced the completion of its airdrop distribution, with a total of $675 million worth of tokens airdropped to early participants, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold market at the end of 2025.
Although the winter market is somewhat bleak, the competition for liquidity and trading experience on the Perp DEX battlefield is becoming increasingly fierce. The industry is witnessing the gradual replacement of early automated market makers (AMMs) by high-performance centralized limit order books (CLOBs). Based on zk-rollup technology, Lighter has quickly stood out, leveraging its zero-fee strategy and customized ZK circuits to attempt to redefine the standards of on-chain derivatives trading.
Since ancient times, airdrops have been difficult to balance, and Lighter undoubtedly faces competition from other airdrop projects.
