【Crypto World】Recently, there is an interesting fundraising case worth paying attention to—a certain identity management startup significantly oversubscribed in its seed round and then secured Series A funding, preparing to expand two core products: one is the "Community Energy Grid" platform, and the other is a blockchain-based identity lifecycle management system.
Why do this? The issue is actually quite painful. Currently, AI infrastructure construction faces an awkward situation: many data center projects often invest billions of dollars but are frequently blocked by local opposition. The core problem is not technology but trust—communities do not trust you, regulatory authorities cannot find legitimate grounds, and there is no true consensus among all parties. As a result, these projects are just laid flat.
This company's approach is somewhat different. Their logic is: rather than bypassing the community, it’s better to genuinely bring the community in to participate and also share in the benefits. By establishing a blockchain-verified consensus mechanism, they directly bind the participation rights and revenue rights of local communities.

Yala Bitcoin Liquidity Protocol has adjusted the role of the YU token, but the redemption mechanism remains effective, allowing holders to redeem according to the plan.

【币界】12月24日这天，比特币现货ETF集体出现了不小的资金流出。一天之内整体净流出达到了1.75亿美元——这个数字在年底确实有点引人注目。
具体来看，大鳄贝莱德旗下的IBIT单日净流出约9137万美元，占了大头。同时，灰度的GBTC也跟着净流出了约2462万美元。这两家机构的动作，某种程度上反映了年底机构投资者的真实态度。
值得思考的是，这是年底的获利了结，还是对后市的某种担忧？从数据来看，大机构在这个节点选择了减仓，这或许会对短期的比特币走势产生一定影响。

【Crypto World】Large Wall Street investment banks recently released a wave of forward-looking analyses on the 2026 market, with the overall outlook summarized in one sentence — risks are heavy.
On the surface, new stimulus policies (such as the "Big and Beautiful Act") are expected to boost the market, but deep-seated concerns should not be underestimated. JPMorgan Chase sounds the first alarm: AI investment scale has surged from $150 billion in 2023 and could break $500 billion by 2026. How many bubbles are hidden behind this rapid growth? No one dares to make a definitive conclusion.
What’s even more worrying is the fragility on the employment front. Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs both mentioned that the US labor market could become a trigger for an economic recession. Once the unemployment wave hits, consumption will be in dire straits.
Looking at inflation — Bank of America predicts that by the end of 2026, core inflation will still be stuck at 2.8%, well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. What does this mean? The interest rate cut cycle may be slower and weaker than expected, and capital

【Crypto World】XRP receives good news again. A well-known asset management firm has launched an XRP spot product that has broken through a key milestone—its holdings have reached 105.9 million XRP, with a corresponding market value of about $200 million.
What does this number indicate? First, the enthusiasm of institutional and individual investors for XRP has clearly increased. Second, everyone is looking for compliant and secure ways to invest in cryptocurrencies. It is important to note that XRP plays a significant role between traditional finance and blockchain, and the increase in holdings this time reflects the growing recognition of this role's value.
Market observers point out that this not only demonstrates growing confidence in XRP among institutions but also suggests that, as more investors enter this space, XRP's market potential could have even greater room for growth. Based on the expansion speed of spot ETF products, regulated cryptocurrency investment channels are becoming the new mainstream choice.

Let's talk about the core of this event—eligible EEA users can now redeem a 150-day free ZEN PRO membership until January 5th next year, worth €34.50. Imagine, getting 150 days of premium features for free—many people are quite interested.
How to participate specifically? It's quite simple. Each eligible user has one redemption opportunity, provided that your ZEN.COM account is registered for the first time. The platform has also designed a task system—by performing daily check-ins, completing account verification, participating in spot trading, and other actions, you can accumulate points. Once enough points are accumulated, they can be exchanged for membership benefits, USDC airdrops, or trading perks.

【ChainWen】The latest policy signals are here. Official departments are promoting the application of digital RMB in international payments, with a focus on cross-border settlements in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and other regions.
There are several core directions: first is international cooperation on central bank digital currencies. Supporting participation in multilateral central bank digital currency bridge projects, and promoting cross-border payment cooperation with countries such as Thailand, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. The digital RMB cross-border payment pilot is also expanding its scope, with countries like Singapore included as cooperation partners.
Second is in the cross-border e-commerce sector. Countries along the route support the construction of cross-border e-commerce digital service platforms, connecting with e-commerce and trade digital platforms in countries like Singapore to improve service efficiency. This means that cross-border payments may become more convenient in the future.
Next is RMB-denominated settlement. Policies encourage the use of RMB for pricing and settlement of bulk commodities, supporting ASEAN investors in using RMB for investment and reinvestment. Banking institutions' cross-border financing, guarantees, and asset transfers are also being promoted.
