Pi Network's launch of its first multi-signature wallet marks a significant security enhancement for users. This wallet requires multiple keys for transactions, reducing risks associated with single key wallets. It supports safe ecosystem transactions and community governance while receiving positive initial feedback. However, long-term success hinges on user adoption and real-world application.

Elon Musk's social platform X (formerly Twitter) and its AI chatbot Grok have recently been embroiled in a sexual exploitation storm. The platform allows users to create and share AI-generated sexualized images of children and women, sparking strong concern and investigations from regulatory agencies worldwide.

HSBC releases the 2025 Global Entrepreneur Wealth Report, surveying 165 Taiwanese entrepreneurs. 61% allocate funds to their primary residence real estate (above the global average of 53%), and 26% have allocated cryptocurrencies.

Solana ecosystem leader aggregator Jupiter Exchange is facing a critical crossroads in its tokenomics model. On January 4, 2026, co-founder Siong publicly questioned the effectiveness of the ongoing JUP buyback program on social media, revealing that over $70 million had been spent on buybacks in the past year, yet the token price remains nearly 89% below its all-time high, with minimal results. Meanwhile, the team announced a significant reduction in the original airdrop scale from 700 million JUP to 200 million JUP, aiming to ease market selling pressure and more accurately reward genuine users. These measures have sparked widespread discussion among industry leaders, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The market responded quickly, with whale addresses betting on the long-term value of the strategic adjustments, investing over $12 million to establish multi-asset leveraged long positions including JUP. This incident not only concerns Jupiter's future but also touches on the core issue of how current crypto projects can optimize fund utilization and balance short-term market pressures with long-term development.

Author: danny As cryptocurrency policies become clearer, mainstream capital is entering the crypto market in large quantities. As industry leaders, Binance and BNB's valuation logic has undergone a structural transformation. BNB is no longer just a simple functional token for exchanges but has matured into a complex, multi-dimensional, composite asset that requires a multi-faceted valuation framework. This article proposes a "Three-Phase Growth Model" to assess its fair market value. The model isolates and analyzes three unique but interconnected economic engines: the Exchange Curve (driven by implicit dividends and structural deflation), the Public Chain Curve (driven by on-chain commodity demand, liquidity, and staking), and the emerging Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Curve (driven by institutional capital access and arbitrage). Regardless of bullish or bearish sentiment, this article aims to discuss the valuation of this multi-dimensional, composite cryptocurrency.

Solana (SOL) surged from $8 at the end of 2022 to $295, a 1500% increase, but has fallen below a multi-year trendline and formed a double top pattern. On-chain data shows that the 90-day spot trader CVD has shifted to a selling dominance, and the expansion of class-action lawsuits adds legal risks. Based on past cycle retracement levels of 85-97%, Solana's 2026 price forecast target range may be between $30 and $50.

Dragonfly partner Rob Hadick believes that asset tokenization will future-proof a multi-chain coexistence scenario, with Ethereum and Solana each having their advantages. The former dominates the financial ecosystem, while the latter is suitable for high-speed transactions. The market has strong scalability, and its competitive model differs from Web2. In the future, more chains will share the market together.

Author: André Beganski, Decrypt Translation: Felix, PANews This year, with the US SEC adopting new regulatory approaches to cryptocurrency products, ETFs have opened multiple doors for the crypto market on Wall Street.

Regarding Bitcoin, according to Farside Investors data, as of December 15, since the first launch in January 2024, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated a net inflow of $57.7 billion, a 59% increase from $36.2 billion at the beginning of this year, but the funds

2025 is the year when cryptocurrency asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs) achieve a decisive breakthrough. Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, the cumulative net inflow has reached $57.7 billion, a 59% increase within the year; spot Ethereum ETFs have also attracted $12.6 billion in funds. A greater transformation lies in market diversification: under the policy breakthrough of the SEC establishing general listing standards, spot XRP and Solana ETFs successfully listed, respectively gaining net inflows of $883 million and $92 million.

For crypto investors who firmly believe in the theme of "hedging against inflation," 2025 has undoubtedly been a disappointing year. Bitcoin, which was originally expected to benefit from the currency depreciation wave, not only underperformed the "safe haven king" gold but was also far behind the Nasdaq 100 index. In response, asset management firm VanEck believes that Bitcoin is brewing an epic "comeback," and in 2026, it is expected to follow gold and stage a "breakout rally." David Schassler, head of Multi-Asset Solutions at VanEck, stated in the latest "2026 Investment Outlook" that Bitcoin's weakness this year is actually the biggest bullish signal for next year: Since the beginning of this year, Bitcoin's performance has lagged about 50% behind the Nasdaq 100 index. This extreme "price dislocation" suggests that Bitcoin is poised to become the best-performing asset in 2026.
