On the first day of 2026, while everyone was celebrating the New Year, history quietly took a turn.
Last night, three events occurred. Taken alone, they are already shocking; together, they open the door to a brand new era.
First: The world's top bank—JPMorgan Chase—announced that it will accept Bitcoin as collateral for loans.
Imagine your previously cherished "game cards" suddenly being recognized by a bank, allowing you to use them as collateral to buy a house. This means that, within the most core fortress of traditional finance, Bitcoin is being officially valued as a "real asset" for the first time, rather than just a speculative symbol.
Second: Led by the United States, an agreement was reached with 47 countries to automatically share cryptocurrency transaction data.
Does this sound like tighter regulation? Quite the opposite. It’s like building a "compliance highway" for global funds. Previously, large capital was hesitant to enter due to uncertainty and fear of violations. Now that the road is built and the rules are clear, massive funds are daring to flow in boldly.
Third: Iran announced that it will accept cryptocurrency payments in major international trade such as missiles and drones, to bypass financial sanctions.
This is no longer small-scale transactions like buying coffee or NFTs. When a country chooses to use it in the most serious trade to break through the world's strictest sanctions, it proves the resilience and value of the cryptocurrency network, passing the ultimate stress test.
🌍 An asset, on the same day, recognized by top banks, accepted by international regulators, and driven by geopolitical needs.
This is no longer a question of "will it rise," but a reality of "the world is already operating this way, are you keeping up or not?"
The old story (the casino of wild swings) is coming to an end.
The new story (a foundational tool for global finance and politics) has already begun.
And all of this happened within the first 24 hours of the New Year.
Are you choosing to continue as an observer of the old story, or to become an early participant in the new story?
The answer is not with me, but in your next decision.
