Security Breach Crashes Truebit Token, Highlights Growing Risks in Crypto Space The price of the Truebit (TRU) token has plummeted to an all-time low following a security incident that led to the theft of millions of dollars worth of Ethereum. The incident underscores the increasing frequency and s

Although companies are actively adopting artificial intelligence (AI) as a future growth engine, industry-wide warnings are being issued: the key to AI success is not actually the "model," but "data management." It is especially pointed out that without classification and visibility guarantees for unstructured data, not only AI but the entire security and compliance field could be fundamentally shaken. Congruity360, a provider of unstructured data governance solutions, believes that this risk is becoming a deadly "blind spot" for enterprises in the AI era. Many organizations have invested heavily in AI implementation, but their success depends on the efficiency of data classification and control. Currently, 41% of all enterprises lack data classification tools altogether, and only 37% plan to introduce such tools within the next two years. This results in high-risk, unclassified data within organizations being exposed without protection across file servers, NAS, cloud storage, and other locations. As a result, IT and security teams

The anonymous coin project Zcash (ZEC) once plummeted by 28%, causing a shock to the market. This decline was not due to macroeconomic factors but resulted from a serious governance collapse within the project's core development company, Electric Coin Company (ECC). According to industry reports on the 8th (local time), all members of ECC's management and core development team have expressed their intention to resign. They have long-standing irreconcilable differences with the Bootstrap board of the Zcash Foundation, which ultimately led to this rare collective resignation. ◇ Non-technical dispute, essentially a "dominance" game... Conflict over development direction The core reason for this incident is not technical flaws or failure to maintain the price, but disagreements over the project's "control" and "development direction." It is reported that, especially regarding wallet strategies and the implementation approach of the privacy-first roadmap, ECC

Every Web3 entrepreneur I meet seems to shout "innovation" as if they had an appointment. Each one looks heroic, but flipping through their business plans, the overwhelming sense of déjà vu is simply dizzying. Dozens of startups I’ve consulted with all seem to be cut from the same mold. They claim to solve the same five major problems with pinpoint accuracy. Funding events are no different from exhibitions of malfunctioning tape recorders. Phrases like "changing the paradigm of DeFi and gaming," "faster and safer than any existing blockchain," and "verified by well-known Silicon Valley investment firms" are repeated like parrots. Maybe there’s some truth to it. The real issue is that hundreds of other projects in the market are saying the same thing. Looking back at the chaos of stablecoins that erupted like mushrooms after rain last year. Each one touts "innovative algorithms" and "new collateral models," boldly claiming to become the second Tether. Although they loudly proclaim

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.

The XRP ecosystem recently made significant progress: Flare Network's cross-chain asset FXRP officially launched on the high-performance derivatives protocol Hyperliquid, marking the first time XRP spot trading based on an order book model has been realized, opening a new door for XRP into the decentralized finance (DeFi) world. However, on the other hand, the competitive landscape for XRP spot ETFs has changed. Morgan Stanley submitted applications for BTC and SOL ETFs but did not include XRP, and WisdomTree withdrew its XRP ETF application, putting market sentiment under pressure and causing the price to fall back to around $2.1653. Analysts believe that in the short term, the price is affected by ETF news, but the key review of the US "Market Structure Act" on January 15, sustained strong inflows into XRP ETFs, and substantial expansion of DeFi use cases together form the multiple narrative foundation for XRP to challenge the all-time high of $3.66 in 2026.

Crypto Market Expectations and Key Developments in 2026 The cryptocurrency markets are entering 2026 with cautious optimism, contingent upon several critical milestones. Experts highlight three significant hurdles that must be addressed for the sector to reach new all-time highs within the next

Bitwise Asset Management Chief Investment Officer Matthew Hougan recently issued a memo stating that for the cryptocurrency market to regain momentum and challenge all-time highs in 2026, it must successfully overcome three key obstacles. These three catalysts include: the market needs to remain stable and avoid a repeat of the sharp liquidation event on October 10, 2025; the US stock market must stay steady to prevent a deep correction from dragging down risk assets; and the US Senate needs to push through the critical Clarity Act to provide a clear regulatory framework for the industry. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $90,866, with the total market capitalization rebounding to $3.3 trillion. Analysts believe that the short-term trend will be driven by events and fluctuate accordingly, but the sustained inflow of institutional funds and clearer regulations in the medium to long term are the core drivers laying the foundation for a bull market.

Written by: Liang Yu Edited by: Zhao Yidan The 2026 People's Bank of China Work Conference has concluded, with the deployment of "strengthening virtual currency regulation" and "steady development of digital RMB" clearly placed within the same policy framework. This is not merely a technical route choice but a profound declaration of a new financial development paradigm. It clearly indicates that the innovative trajectory of China's financial technology is being reshaped, and all explorations attempting to connect real assets with the digital world must navigate within this newly defined domain. According to Yicai on January 6, this conference set the tone for the year's work, emphasizing strict implementation of "penetrative regulation of payment institutions" and "strengthening virtual currency regulation, continuously cracking down on related illegal activities." Meanwhile, in terms of financial services, "steady development of digital RMB" has been listed as a routine key task. This combination of tightening and stabilizing,

Emerging token RIVER experienced a remarkable start to 2026, surging another 12% in the past 24 hours, breaking through $18, with a market cap approaching $366 million. Its nearly one-month increase exceeds 340%, and the year-to-date gain has reached nearly 469%, making it the most eye-catching short-term target in the market. This wave of frenzy was directly triggered by a public call from BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes and was strongly boosted by massive leveraged trading in the derivatives market, with daily trading volume on Binance futures alone reaching up to $2 billion. This "perfect storm" driven by opinion leaders, technological breakthroughs, and leveraged funds vividly demonstrates the emotional and highly volatile speculative nature of the crypto market.

The start of 2026 has brought renewed activity from major players in the Bitcoin market. On-chain data shows that three large wallets accumulated a total of 3,000 BTC within a short period, with a combined value of approximately $280 million. Analysts suggest that all three addresses may even

整理 & 编译：深潮 TechFlow Guests: Mike Ippolito, Co-founder of Blockworks, Host: David Hoffman, Bankless Key Takeaways David Hoffman and Mike Ippolito discuss why 2025, despite reaching new all-time highs, appears to be exceptionally challenging, and why this tension is crucial for 2026. They believe the crypto industry is entering a phase similar to "Internet in 2002" — a period of declining speculation, increasing focus on fundamentals, and accelerated industry consolidation. The conversation covers reasons why Ethereum might experience a revival, why Bitcoin sentiment could face difficulties, predictions for the market and perpetual contracts, and how builders and investors should adapt as the crypto industry shifts from hype to genuine value creation.

The latest "Small Non-Farm" ADP employment data in the United States shows a significant slowdown in the labor market, with the three major U.S. stock indices diverging after reaching new highs. Although Google's parent company Alphabet defied the trend and surpassed Apple in market capitalization, Trump's restrictive policies on the housing market and defense industry put pressure on related sectors. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market shows signs of fatigue with "good news not driving prices up," despite major Wall Street firms applying for ETFs. Bitcoin still faces a tough battle to defend the $90,000 level. U.S. stocks retreat after hitting new highs, Alphabet returns to glory Known as the "Small Non-Farm" ADP employment report, it shows that in December 2025, U.S. private employment increased by 41,000 jobs, below the market expectation of 45,000 jobs, indicating that economic growth in 2026 may be relatively weak.

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.

Author: Haseeb ＞|＜, Dragonfly Partner Translation: Deep Tide TechFlow LPs sometimes ask me who I consider the most outstanding venture capitalists in the crypto space. I've thought about this a lot. Since I started engaging in crypto venture investing, I've always aspired to be the best. I am passionate about competition, and investing is the purest form of competition. Only one person can win a deal, only one can pick the winner of this cycle. But when you honestly examine and carefully calculate, you'll find that three people have already proven themselves as the "Greatest of All Time" (GOAT) in crypto VC. This might sound a bit like bragging (it is), and it may not be very appealing to those who are not in crypto VC. But I am a crypto VC.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview BTC (-0.21% | Current Price 92,505 USDT) BTC has entered a consolidation phase after a short-term pullback from recent highs. The price has retreated to around $92,500, and the short-term upward momentum has paused. The moving average structure shows divergence, with MA5 crossing below MA10, and the price has broken below the short-term moving average support. However, the medium-term MA30 remains upward, indicating that the overall bullish structure has not been broken. The MACD is below the zero line, with the green histogram narrowing but not yet turning red. The bearish momentum is easing slightly, but a reversal signal is still insufficient. Overall, BTC is in a short-term correction and recovery phase after a high-level pullback. If it can regain the $93,500–$94,000 range, the upward trend may continue; otherwise, if it remains under pressure below the moving averages, attention should be paid to the support levels around $91,800–$92,000.
