At CES 2026, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced the new autonomous driving AI system Alapamayo, marking a new stage in autonomous driving technology characterized by explainable decision-making capabilities, rather than relying solely on sensor data.

Core Overview
In the early hours of January 3, 2026, the U.S. military operation "Operation Southern Spear" struck with a thunderous force that suffocated the global markets, crushing Caracas's anti-American stronghold that had lasted for over twenty years; this was not just a military decapitation targeting the Maduro regime, but a violent reset of the energy map of the Western Hemisphere. It marked the official takeover of this "bankrupt giant" with 3,030 billion barrels of oil reserves by the "American Union," centered around Wall Street capital, Texas oil, and Pentagon defense technology.

Introduction
A ruling by the Hangzhou Internet Court clearly demonstrates that "Fat Tiger Vaccination" NFT infringement case: decentralization does not mean no responsibility. Behind the technology, there are still clear legal boundaries.
Many people think that since they only develop technology, build platforms, and provide tools, and do not directly participate in infringement, they should be fine. But this ruling clearly states: technology itself cannot serve as a "shield" against infringement; if used improperly, it can still be illegal.
In this article, we will discuss a key but often overlooked concept: "Technological Evasion of Copyright Infringement."
What is it?
How can ordinary people avoid it?
And how should we find a balance between innovation and compliance?
Technological Evasion of Infringement: The Deadly Shortcut to Bypass "Digital Locks"
In the Web3 and digital creation fields, there is a form of infringement that is often underestimated: it is not direct theft.

In the past two days, global public opinion has been buzzing about a blockbuster news story "comparable to a Hollywood movie": the United States launched a lightning-fast operation against Venezuela, "precisely locking onto" President Maduro overnight, and completed the control of the regime and the takeover of key oil and gas assets in a very short period.
Although the details of this operation remain uncertain, one name has been frequently mentioned in the finance and tech circles: Palantir — a company whose stock price has skyrocketed nearly 20 times in two and a half years, crowned as the "AI Intelligence Empire" for its data integration and AI decision-making capabilities, and regarded by many as the most powerful digital brain behind such "seamless operations."
What's even more interesting is that beyond traditional military and government intelligence, Palantir has quietly become one of the "data and compliance infrastructure providers" in the crypto industry over the past two years — providing services to exchanges, custodians

In our previous Crypto AI series reports, we consistently emphasized the following point: the most practically valuable scenarios in the current crypto space are mainly focused on stablecoin payments and DeFi, while Agents are the key interface between AI industry and users. Therefore, in the trend of integrating Crypto and AI, the two most valuable paths are: in the short term, AgentFi based on existing mature DeFi protocols (such as lending, liquidity mining, and other basic strategies, as well as advanced strategies like Swap, Pendle PT, and funding rate arbitrage), and in the medium to long term, Agents centered around stablecoin settlement and relying on protocols like ACP/AP2/x402/ERC-8004.

In 2025, the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) market experienced a thrilling roller coaster ride. At the beginning of the year, driven by explosive Layer 2 performance and institutional capital inflows, TVL (Total Value Locked) skyrocketed from $182.3 billion to a historic peak of $277.6 billion, making a trillion-dollar ecosystem seem within reach.
However, in the fourth quarter, an unexpected 10/11 flash crash poured cold water on the market, causing TVL to sharply shrink to $189.3 billion, erasing the year's gains to a negligible 3.86%. This intense volatility revealed the true fabric behind the glamorous narrative of DeFi: on one side, deep evolution in sectors like staking, lending, and RWA; on the other, the fragility and governance fractures caused by leverage accumulation.
This has been a crucible of ice and fire. The market witnessed Lido's dominance in the staking sector.

The past 2025 has showcased an unprecedented "Tech Ice and Fire Show" in the capital markets.
On one side are the newly listed tech giants, whose stock prices have plummeted like a kite with a broken string. Once hot star companies have seen their market values evaporate by billions of dollars within months, with some cases experiencing declines of over 50%. The market's "coldness" has quickly spread, causing many star companies planning to go public to become fearful and repeatedly postpone their IPO plans.
On the other side, the "hot pursuit" of capital is burning fiercely.
A brand-new "Trillion-Dollar Club" is gathering outside the gates of the capital market. From Elon Musk's space empire SpaceX to Sam Altman's OpenAI, and the emerging giants like Anthropic, they are preparing with valuations often reaching hundreds of billions or even trillions, gearing up for the next wave of technological advancement.

The article discusses how quick actions in response to problems can lead to misconceptions and emphasizes the importance of thinking before acting. By engaging in conversations with AI, individuals can identify their own strengths and establish an effective execution system framework. Reflection and summarization help to extract applicable decision-making models to enhance market responsiveness. Ultimately, understanding oneself and leveraging personal strengths are key to success.

Recently, crypto KOL fiyalkin summarized a list of Perp DEX projects that may conduct token issuance in 2026, including brief introductions, key data, and more. These projects are all in the early stages of development and have not yet issued tokens. Below are the details.
1. Variational
Variational is a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) derivatives trading protocol built on Arbitrum, focusing on on-chain trading, settlement, and clearing of broad derivatives such as perpetual contracts, options, and futures.
Based on the Variational protocol, several applications have been developed, including those for simple perpetual contract trading.

The privacy track will become the core of the crypto industry by 2026, as technological advancements enable privacy needs to coexist with compliance. ZEC performs strongly, indicating that privacy is no longer a pseudo-demand. It is recommended to pay attention to Zama, Anoma, and Boundless to address the evolution of privacy protection and market demand, forming a complete technological ecosystem and promoting the development of privacy projects.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, in a conversation with Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing, pointed out that generative AI has completed its evolution from text to multimodal. Future "agent-based AI" will possess reasoning and problem-solving capabilities, driving AI into the foundational productivity systems across various industries. This evolution will integrate public cloud and enterprise models to achieve truly scalable enterprise AI.

Last week, there were a total of 4 investment and financing events in the global blockchain industry, with a total scale of over $42.6 million. DeFi platform Haven raised $30 million, AIAV, which combines AI and Web3, raised $4 million, and SocialGood Inc. received $5.63 million. MMA announced the completion of a $3 million private placement, planning to build a Web3 platform.
