🇨🇭 CZ in Davos: crypto is coming out of the 'sandbox' Crypto is no longer about 'someday'.🔥🔥
CZ in Davos clearly showed: the industry is entering a phase of real use cases 👇
🔹 1. States are preparing for tokenization CZ confirmed that negotiations are already underway with ~10 governments.
👉 This is about tokenization: ● real estate ● goods ● financial assets ● infrastructure projects 💡 The idea is simple: property rights → tokens → blockchain → liquidity + transparency + global access. Tokenization is becoming not a trend, but a state issue.
🔹 2. 'Invisible' crypto payments User: ● pays with a card ● sees fiat ● knows nothing about blockchain
In the background, a crypto transaction is taking place, the network is cheaper and faster, fewer intermediaries. Business receives fiat, but settlements are done through blockchain. 💡 Crypto is becoming financial infrastructure.
🔹 3. AI agents + blockchain The next level — autonomous AI agents: 🤖 book 🤖 pay 🤖 manage resources 🤖 execute contracts
🤔 And here’s the question of where they get the money? CZ's answer: blockchain = native financial layer for AI. 📌 No banks. 📌 No people. 📌 No delays.
🔐 Passkey ≠ password. This is a new level of security for crypto💪
Passwords no longer cut it. Phishing, database leaks, social engineering — and an account with a wallet in the red. 👉 The problem is not with blockchain. 👉 The problem is with people and passwords. ⚙️ What is Passkey in human terms 🔹️ Passkey is access without a shared secret. 🔹️ No passwords. No codes that can be stolen.
💪Let's talk about the key trends in the crypto market for 2026🚀
Ripple, through President Monica Long, outlined where the market is genuinely heading. No hype - about infrastructure and big money 👍
🔍 Four main directions highlighted:
✅️ Institutions are genuinely entering the space. Banks, funds, and corporations are massively integrating crypto into their processes. Not just BTC/ETH, but also liquidity, tokenized assets, on-chain settlements.
✅️ Tokenization + on-chain settlement. Ripple expects that 5-10% of traditional financial settlements in 2026 may transition to on-chain. Stocks, bonds, funds are all being tokenized and moving 24/7 without banking delays.
✅️ The boom of custody and M&A. Major players are acquiring crypto storage infrastructure. Ripple is already expanding institutional services through acquisitions. The reason is simple: secure custody = key to attracting big money.
✅️ AI + blockchain. AI for managing liquidity, portfolios, margin calls, and automated settlements. Not just AI tokens, but real optimization of financial infrastructure.
😁The Trump family earned $1.4 billion on crypto in a year💪🔥
💬 Of course, the president of the most powerful state could have used his position differently, but...🤣 So chaos, in chaos, it's easier to earn, attention is not focused on you😁
💸 Crypto has become the main driver of the Trump family's wealth growth. Total wealth $6.8 billion according to Bloomberg.
🪙 Crypto as the number one business direction🔥
According to Bloomberg, it is crypto projects that have outpaced all other new directions for the Trumps, such as weapons, AI, rare earth metals, and prediction platforms.
💰 Three key sources of income:
➡️ World Liberty Financial - a crypto platform founded by Trump along with his sons. 🔹️$390 million from token sales 🔹️$500 million through a deal with Alt5 Sigma
➡️ The OFFICIAL TRUMP meme coin launched before the inauguration 🔹️family share and related revenues $280 million
➡️ American Bitcoin mining business in partnership with Hut 8 🔹️Eric Trump's share $114 million despite stock drop from peak by 82%
💡 A little detail The family has WLFI tokens worth $3.8 billion (locked and not included in Bloomberg's estimate)
Also, the stablecoin USD1 potential business valuation $300 million.
💬 The next target is Greenland and enriching another couple of billion. Such a world, such realities🤷♂️ #TRUMP #news $WLFI
🔍In just over a year, the number of daily transactions via cryptocurrency payment cards has increased 22 times to 60,000 operations per day.
🤔 According to The Block, crypto cards are rapidly entering the mainstream: 🔹️instant conversion of crypto to fiat 🔹️payment at regular POS points 🔹️without manual withdrawal to exchanges
💸 The volume of transactions is already nearly $4 million per day and continues to grow.
🪙 Etherfi dominates the market with almost 50% of all transactions, surpassing other players such as Gnosis, MetaMask, Solayer, and others.
🤔 Why is usage increasing?! ✅️ Many cards now offer yield on balances ✅️ They connect DeFi protocols ✅️ combine spending and passive income
💡 It's worth noting that the infrastructure of Visa and Mastercard has effectively become the standard for crypto cards. Traditional payment giants are already firmly embedded in Web3. DeFi ➡️ everyday payments➡️ the bridge has already been built.
💬 Crypto cards are not a "feature," but a real mass-level use case. 💬 Who uses them, which cards work in Ukraine, share your experience👇 #CryptoNews #news $ROSE $FOGO $PROM
🚀 Chainalysis opens blockchain investigations for everyone🔥🔥🔥
🔥 No longer just for techies. One of the main players in blockchain analytics is making a serious move into the mass market. ⚙️ Chainalysis has launched Workflows — no-code tools for on-chain investigations. 👉 Now you can conduct complex analysis without SQL and Python 👉 Just choose a template and enter the parameters
🔥 Bermuda Islands are transitioning to blockchain🤷♂️🤔
🔍 The Bermuda Islands want to become the world's first economy fully built on-chain. And this is not just a loud statement; the project is backed by Coinbase and Circle💪
Let's figure out what exactly is being discussed?🤔
🔹️The government has partnered with Coinbase and Circle; they are building the country's financial infrastructure on the blockchain. 🔹️The base payment asset is USDC 🔹️The state will be testing payment for public services in stablecoins. 🔹️Businesses and citizens will be able to use crypto for daily transactions.
🤭 This is no longer crypto for traders, but crypto as the foundation of the financial economy.
💬 Why print money when everything can be converted into stablecoins tied to the US dollar, with fast transactions and minimal fees? An interesting idea; let the islands test it first, and then everyone else can follow 😁 #CryptoNews #news #stablecoin $AXS $SAND $BERA
💪 NYSE (through its parent ICE) is launching the development of a platform for trading tokenized stocks and ETFs.
So, we are not talking about a crypto startup, but about the New York Stock Exchange.
🔍 What they want and what should be:
👉 24/7 trading. Stocks and ETFs from the USA will be available for trading around the clock — without a “closing bell”.
👉 Tokenized securities. In fact, traditional assets are moving on-chain.
👉 On-chain settlement. Settlements directly on the blockchain, potentially with stablecoins.
👉 Fractional ownership + dollar orders. You buy not “1 share”, but for $50, $100, $1000 — like in DeFi.
👉 Integration with banks. ICE is already working with BNY Mellon and Citi on tokenized deposits for this entire infrastructure.
🤔 Why is this important for NYSE and ICE?
This is part of a larger strategy by ICE: To transition traditional markets to 24/7 mode + blockchain-native. So, it’s not that “crypto wants to be Wall Street”, but Wall Street is becoming on-chain.
💡 The project still needs to go through regulatory approval, primarily from the SEC. Without this, the platform will not launch.
💬 So now the question is not “whether Wall Street will come to blockchain”, but who will be the first to do it on a large scale and legally.🤭 #NYSE #MarketRebound #CryptoNews #news #etf $DASH $LTC $GIGGLE
🔥"Trump moment" for the crypto market - has the hype ended?🤨
Politics rarely penetrated crypto as deeply as with Trump. 🤔 What is a "Trump moment"? This is a period when the market reacted not to on-chain, not to ETFs, and not to liquidity, but to statements, branding, and Trump's political image.🤦♂️ Trump = pro-crypto rhetoric = pump. That's how it worked for most of 2025: ➡️ meme coin TRUMP - hundreds % growth just on the name
💥 Over the day, more than $870 million was liquidated🤯🤯🤯
😡 In the last 24 hours, liquidations in the cryptocurrency market amounted to $871 million, with the majority falling on longs.
🇺🇸 The trigger was Donald Trump's statements regarding Greenland and threats of new trade tariffs against the EU.
🔍 The decline began with a delay — after the opening of Japanese markets and the launch of American futures. #usa #TRUMP #FOMO #CryptoNews #news $BTC $ETH $BNB
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan has legalized the crypto market - now at the level of banking law🔥🔥🔥
💪 The country has taken a serious step towards full integration of crypto into the financial system. And these are not cosmetic changes, but fundamental transformations👇
🔹️ Cryptocurrencies and digital assets have been included in the basic law on banks. This means crypto is no longer a "gray zone," but part of the official financial system.
🔹️ The National Bank is taking control of stablecoins, licensing of crypto exchanges, transaction limits, and rules for working with digital assets.
🔹️ Crypto has been classified as a separate category of assets, and tokenized assets (RWA, securities, property) have received legal status.
🔹️ All crypto infrastructure is under AML, financial monitoring, KYC, and flow control - just like in banks.
🔹️ Officially established digital tenge (CBDC) Plus, allowed banks to actively develop fintech and blockchain products.
💬 This is exactly the regulatory case I would like to see in Ukraine. When the regulator does not kill the market, but makes it transparent. 💬 The main thing in this situation is not to overdo it with control. #Kazakhstan #Regulation #CryptoNews #news $DUSK $SCRT $ARPA
💥 Celestia Vision 2.0: A New Look at the Future of On-chain Markets 💥
Mustafa Al-Bassam, co-founder of Celestia, shared an updated strategic vision for the project. In Celestia Vision 2.0, he presented his concept of how blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and artificial intelligence can create the foundation for a new global market infrastructure. 🔑 Key Points:
‼️Interactive Brokers ➡️ deposits through stablecoins a new stage in investing 🔥🔥🔥
🌍 Interactive Brokers (IBKR) one of the largest online brokers in the world, has allowed account funding through USDC. This is not just news - it's a real breakthrough for those investing in international markets💪
💡 Now you can fund brokerage accounts without intermediaries, 24/7 even on weekends and public holidays. This drastically reduces the time to start trading, as deposits occur almost instantly.
🔍 Previously, all international transfers through traditional banks took days and were associated with high fees. With the new method of transactions using stablecoins, they will become much faster and cheaper.
✅️ Clients can fund accounts through USDC which is automatically converted to US dollars, with minimal fees.
Milin Halik, CEO Interactive Brokers "Funding through stablecoins gives investors speed and flexibility for modern markets"
Next week, they also plan to add support for Ripple Coin (RLUSD) and PayPal USD (PYUSD).
🇮🇷 Iranians are massively withdrawing Bitcoin due to the economic crisis and political protests🤷♂️
🔍 According to Chainalysis analysts, there is a sharp increase in Bitcoin transfers from exchanges to personal wallets in Iran due to political instability, protest movements, and the collapse of the national currency, the rial.
🔹️ The rial has collapsed by 90% compared to 2018 🔹️ Inflation is at 40-50%
💸 Bitcoin has become a lifesaving tool for the population and a way for the authorities to circumvent sanctions.
💡 Interesting facts:
In 2025, Iran's crypto ecosystem reached a volume of over $7.78 billion, growing faster than in the previous year. Activity on the blockchain correlates with internal and external political events such as terrorist acts and military conflicts. The majority of cryptocurrency activities are controlled by the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), accounting for 50% of all operations in the country.
🤔 In the fourth quarter of 2025, transactions related to the IRGC exceeded $3 billion, and this is just a conservative estimate. These transactions, mostly in USDT on the TRON network, demonstrate an increasing influence on Iran's crypto market. #iran #CryptoNews #news #BTC $BTC
🔥🔥BitMine invests $200M in MrBeast - crypto goes to mass audience 🚀🚀
💬 From blogger to crypto enthusiast, or trends change - crypto is eternal😁
💸 BitMine, one of the largest corporate owners of ETH, invests $200M in Beast Industries - the company of YouTube star MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson)
💡 Interesting facts:
🔹 MrBeast = 450+ million subscribers on YouTube 🔹 Beast Industries earned approximately $400M in 2025 🔹 BitMine is betting not only on ETH but also on the creator economy

🇺🇸 Trump has no plans to fire the Fed chair, but won't stop pressuring 🤣🤣🤣
😁 Donald Trump stated he has no intention of demanding the resignation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, even amid the U.S. Department of Justice investigation.
Quote: "I don't have such plans. We're waiting and will decide what to do. It's still too early."
🔍 Jerome Powell's current term as Fed chair expires in May 2026. He could remain on the board of governors until 2028.
😁 But there's a nuance: although Trump isn't talking about firing him, he isn't ruling out influencing Fed policy and considers it his right.
Quote: "The president should have a say on Fed policy. I've made a lot of money in business and understand this better than Powell, who is always behind."
🔥 Political backdrop: both Democrats and some Republicans have opposed the investigation into Powell.
Trump responded that fellow party members "should be loyal" 😁
💬 Well, for now, there won't be a firing, but he'll keep rattling nerves— the Fed has become another political battlefield for Trump 🤷♂️ #usa #TRUMP #FRS #CryptoNews #news $FOGO $FRAX $BARD
🇺🇦 The Ministry of Digital Transformation is temporarily led by a cryptocurrency advocate 🇺🇦
Oleksandr Borniakov became the acting Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine following Mykhailo Fedorov's appointment as Minister of Defense.
🤔 What is known about him?
Borniakov has been working at the Ministry of Digital Transformation since its establishment in 2019. 🔹️ Oversaw Dіya.City, e-Residence, IT direction, and European integration. 🔹️ One of the key government representatives on cryptocurrency and digital assets.
🔍 Borniakov has repeatedly expressed his views on crypto in interviews:
🔹️ Publicly supports the legalization and regulation of the crypto market. 🔹️ At the Incrypted Conference 2024, emphasized the high potential of crypto in Ukraine. 🔹️ Advocates for the fastest possible introduction of clear regulatory frameworks. 🔹️ Noted that Ukraine ranks among the top 5 countries in the world in terms of crypto asset usage.
💬 I understand that one person alone isn't a warrior, but still, this is a positive signal for the crypto sector. A person who understands Web3, AI, and European rules of the game. 💬 Better than temporary silence and the gray zone 🤷♂️ The question remains whether this acting role will lead to real acceleration of crypto regulation, or just another pause. 💬 Your thoughts, gentlemen? #BinanceUkraine #ukraine #Україна #news $BTC
💧SUI halted for 6 hours - the network experienced a consensus failure 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Not FUD, but a fact!
📆 January 14, 2026, the Sui blockchain completely stopped processing transactions. Downtime lasted 6 hours 😡 the failure occurred around 14:52 UTC, full recovery around 20:44 UTC.
⚙️ Reason: Sui confirmed a "consensus outage," but did not disclose the specific cause.
🔹 Over $1 billion TVL was frozen 🔹 dApps, DeFi, and transfers were on pause 🔹 Users couldn't interact with the network
🔍 This is not the first incident; a similar failure occurred in November 2024.
The market reacted cautiously, but questions about consensus reliability are back on the table.
💬 Fast L1s are good, but stable TPS are also needed, especially when billions of dollars are at stake 🤣🤣🤣 #sui #L1 #CryptoNews #news #defi $SUI
🧠OpenAI signed a $10 billion contract with Cerebras, a semiconductor manufacturer for AI chips🔥🔥🔥
💪 One of the largest infrastructure deals in the AI sector in recent years.
🔍 OpenAI has signed a multi-year agreement with Cerebras Systems 👇
🔹 Estimated contract value of $10 billion according to Reuters 🔹 Duration: 2026–2028 🔹 Computing capacity up to 750 MW of computational resources 🔹 Financial details remain officially undisclosed
⚙️ Cerebras is one of the main competitors of Nvidia in AI chips, focusing not on GPUs but on specialized processors for inference. Inference is now becoming the bottleneck for ChatGPT and other LLMs—expensive, energy-intensive, and difficult to scale.
💬 Another signal that the AI race is no longer about models, but about electricity. Long-term contracts are being secured years in advance. 💬 Here are a few AI tokens for your thoughts 👇 #OpenAI #AI #CryptoNews #news $FET $HOLO $COAI
