【Crypto World】A leading exchange recently announced its core strategic direction for 2026, with big ambitions. In simple terms, there are three main areas:
First is the global expansion of the trading platform — not just cryptocurrencies, but also stocks, prediction markets, and commodity trading, creating a one-stop, comprehensive trading experience. Essentially, it means offering all tradable assets on the platform.
Second is the scaling of stablecoins and payment services. This area is becoming increasingly competitive, and whoever can improve payment penetration will hold the dominant position.
Third is promoting "worldwide on-chain integration" through developer platforms and its own public chain — it sounds like a slogan, but the core logic is to attract developers through the ecosystem, enabling more applications to run on the chain.
The investment focus behind this is clear: pouring money into product quality and automation, with a very clear goal — to become the number one financial application globally. This positioning is not just about being the top in the cryptocurrency field, but aiming for the entire fintech track.

The head of investment research at a leading exchange predicts that 2026 will be a pivotal year for cryptocurrencies, driven by four forces: ETFs, stablecoins, tokenization, and regulatory frameworks. These factors mutually reinforce each other, gradually making cryptocurrencies a mainstream financial instrument. Institutional investors will receive clearer policy support, market demand will no longer rely on a single narrative, and the capital structure will shift toward long-term investments.

【BlockBeats】Sources say that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is expected to initiate the revision process for the "Responsible Financial Innovation Act" in the second week of January this year. This regulatory legislation, delayed for several months, is finally making progress.
The reasons for the delay are not complicated—Democrats have always had concerns about decentralized finance (DeFi), and coupled with the federal government experiencing the longest shutdown in history, these issues have stalled the entire review process. Now it appears that these obstacles are being gradually removed.
Industry insiders reveal that the Senate will hold a revision meeting at least in the second week of January for a pending market structure legislation. Interestingly, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee is also simultaneously advancing its version of the market structure bill, which may later be submitted to the full chamber for a vote. This means multiple committees are working in parallel.
This market structure bill is actually the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" passed by the House of Representatives in July last year.

[Crypto World] The recent crypto market has once again stirred up waves. Some large-scale crypto projects are facing increasing scrutiny, including flagship stablecoin products and various meme tokens.
It is reported that relevant regulatory authorities are intensifying their focus on these types of projects. Among them, a cluster of projects with a funding scale of approximately $800 million has attracted strong concern from policymakers due to multiple risk factors. Critics point out that these projects concentrate control over financial power and regulatory authority, creating unprecedented conflicts of interest—from stablecoin mechanism design to the issuance of meme tokens, there is a clear imbalance of power within the ecosystem.
What’s more noteworthy is that the potential risks behind these projects go far beyond the surface. The association of certain trading platforms (such as a well-known DEX) with these products has raised attention, especially regarding the potential risks of illegal financial activities. Federal investigations officially commenced in December last year, focusing on
