Minutes from a meeting of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), China’s central bank, revealed that oversight and regulation of cryptocurrency markets will be further tightened in 2026.
According to the statement, the bank declared its commitment to strengthening regulation in the field of “virtual currencies” and increasing the fight against related illegal activities, while stating that the development of the digital yuan (digital RMB) will continue steadily.
The 2026 PBOC Working Conference, held on January 5-6, placed the creation of a new financial statistics infrastructure compatible with a modern central banking system at the center of its agenda. The conference stated that statistical monitoring mechanisms need to be developed in critical areas such as the “big five tasks” of finance, the indebtedness of local financing platforms, and the efficiency of treasury management.
Bank officials stated that the gains made in improving the cash-using environment would be preserved, and that payment services would be optimized in the long term and on a regular basis, especially for the elderly and foreign nationals. They also announced that intrusive and transparent oversight of payment institutions would continue without compromise.
The meeting also instructed that oversight of cryptocurrencies be increased, that illegal and criminal activities in this area be more strongly combated, and that payment institutions closely monitor the risks associated with crypto assets. The PBOC reaffirmed that the digital RMB ecosystem will be grown cautiously but steadily, along with deepening technological governance and innovative practices.
Experts believe these statements indicate that China is maintaining its distance from crypto assets, but that its strategy to make central bank digital currency a significant component of the financial system will accelerate.$BTC

#xrp president Monica long responds to claim that the company will go public and discusses the future Ripple President Monica Long appeared on the Bloomberg Crypto program to share new details about the investment process, following the $500 million share sale in November 2024 that boosted the company’s valuation to $40 billion.
The transaction, which involved giant institutions such as Citadel Securities and Fortress, had generated widespread repercussions in both cryptocurrency and traditional finance circles.
Monica Long expressed satisfaction with the funding completed in the fourth quarter, stating that 2025 is a strong period for Ripple in terms of both organic and acquisition-based growth. Recalling that the company acquired four different firms last year, Long stated that their priorities going forward will be integrating these businesses into the Ripple ecosystem and expanding their infrastructure products for enterprise clients.
The program also addressed the protection clauses in the share sale structure, which attracted investor interest. The agreement included provisions allowing investors to sell their shares back to Ripple at a guaranteed price and return under certain conditions. Long argued that this structure was “quite positive and favorable” for Ripple, stating that Citadel and Fortress had become strategic partners for the company, particularly in bridging technologies to capital markets.
Responding to journalists’ assessments that “Ripple’s value is largely tied to XRP assets,” Long stated that the company’s strategy is not solely based on XRP, and that its primary goal is to develop digital asset infrastructure products. The executive noted that Ripple holds over 70 licenses worldwide, and that their “compliance and licensing-focused” approach plays a critical role in enabling traditional finance to utilize blockchain, stablecoin, and tokenization technologies in the real world.Monica Long also spoke clearly about a possible Ripple IPO in the final segment of the program. Reiterating the company’s statement from November 2025, she stated that Ripple’s private balance sheet is strong and that, thanks to strategic interest from new investors, they don’t need to go public to finance growth. “We currently plan to remain private. We don’t have a timeline for an IPO,” Long said, emphasizing that Ripple will not be taking the IPO step in the near future.$XRP

🚨Crypto traders can now take leveraged bets on silver 🥈via binance futures 🚨Binance Futures, the derivatives arm of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, will launch silver perpetual contracts on Wednesday, enabling crypto traders to place leveraged bets on 2025's standout precious metal.
Perpetual futures contracts, or "perps," are derivative instruments that let traders bet on an asset's price without owning it and without expiration dates, using funding rates, typically every few hours, to keep prices aligned with spot markets. Their endless duration, high leverage options, and 24/7 access have made them wildly popular in crypto, generating billions in daily trading volume across exchanges.The contract, launching at 10:00 UTC, offers up to 50x leverage on silver priced in U.S. dollars per troy ounce, allowing traders to control positions 50 times larger than their deposited margin and amplifying both gains and losses.It's margined and settled in tether USDT$0.9990, the world's largest dollar-pegged stablecoin, with a minimum notional value of 5 USDT, the exchange said in an official announcement. Trading these perpetual futures will attract a funding fee, capped at ±2%, every four hours.

The impending launch comes weeks after the exchange debuted perpetuals tied to gold and shows that crypto traders are increasingly diversifying into precious metals, which outperformed the crypto market by leaps and bounds last year.

Silver chalked out a staggering 147% rally in 2025, hitting a record per ounce price of $83.75 at one point. As of writing, it changed hands at $79.84. Gold surged by more than 64% to $4,317, while bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market value, ended the year down by more than 5%.

Both precious metals drew strength from fiscal and inflation concerns, with silver gaining extra momentum from surging demand in solar panels and electronics.

The silver contract will be available for futures copy trading within 24 hours of launch, Binance said in the announcement. Multi-assets mode will also let traders use cryptocurrencies like BTC as margin collateral, instead of just USDT, with haircuts applied to account for price volatility.
Binance is the first major exchange to offer perpetuals tied to silver, building on the trend pioneered by relatively smaller venues like MEXC and BTCC.$BNB
