claims

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that a cryptocurrency company linked to "Russian gangs and intelligence agencies" is funding political opponents and influencing domestic cryptocurrency regulatory legislation.During a parliamentary vote on Friday, Tusk pointed out that some Polish politicians obstructing cryptocurrency regulatory legislation are serving the interests of a company named Zondacrypto, which is accused of providing "financial support" to political figures and has ties to Russia. Tusk further claimed that the company sponsored the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) event held in Poland last year, during which former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem publicly supported President Karol Nawrocki's campaign. Tusk bluntly stated that the company's funding sources involve not only "money related to the Russian mafia (Bratva)" but may also be connected to Russian intelligence agencies.Meanwhile, President Nawrocki won the election in June last year, with support from former U.S. President Donald Trump. The president's office responded that it does not oppose cryptocurrency regulation itself but opposes the "flawed regulatory model" proposed by the government. This controversy arises amid the political tug-of-war in Poland over the cryptocurrency regulatory bill. The bill aims to align with the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) framework, but the president previously vetoed the related bill and blocked parliament from overturning the veto in December, hindering the regulatory process.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Avihu Levy of StarkWare published a research proposal titled "Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transactions Without Soft Forks," proposing a quantum-safe Bitcoin scheme called QSB.This scheme aims to enable Bitcoin transactions to resist quantum computing attacks without changing the core rules of Bitcoin. QSB replaces the elliptic curve security mechanism with hash-based assumptions, shifting security to hash preimage resistance to defend against the threat of Shor's algorithm. The scheme operates within the existing script limitations of Bitcoin and does not require consensus changes or soft forks.However, QSB transactions exceed the standard relay strategy limitations and cannot propagate through the network under default settings; they need to be submitted directly to miners through services like Slipstream. The paper estimates that the cost of generating valid transactions using cloud GPUs is approximately $75 to $150. The complete transaction assembly and broadcasting of the project have not yet been demonstrated on-chain.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that The Open Network (TON) has completed a major upgrade, increasing block generation speed by 6 times, overall performance improved by about 10 times, and transaction confirmation time has been reduced to sub-second levels, achieving a "near-instant" transaction experience.TON officials stated that this upgrade is based on Catchain 2, and the previous confirmation time of about 10 seconds limited instant payments and application response experiences, while this upgrade will make it possible to "complete payments like sending messages." In addition, TON also stated that higher block generation frequency will enhance validator earnings and strengthen staking incentives. Pavel Durov called this upgrade the first step of the "Make TON Great Again" seven-step plan, with the next phase aiming to further reduce transaction fees by about 6 times.

CZ recalls in his new book that around 2015, under the persuasion of friends, he gradually quit high-frequency social activities such as poker and golf, and completely withdrew from the related social circles. Subsequently, he gradually formed a work style centered on "high efficiency," which included shortening meeting durations, reducing ineffective communication, and focusing on quickly executing projects. This transformation during this phase became an important turning point in CZ's personal and career development, and it has long influenced his subsequent management and operational style.CZ repeatedly mentions in his new book that "moderately above-average success is the most dangerous," because after achieving some small successes, one can easily become complacent. On the surface, it may seem like he is doing better than many around him, but only he knows: he hasn't really given his all.

The Blockchain Association submitted a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to Citadel's previous call for increased regulation of DeFi.The Blockchain Association stated that DeFi protocol developers do not fall under the category of brokers or exchange operators and should not be included in the regulatory framework designed for traditional financial intermediaries. The organization also urged the SEC to advance an "innovation exemption" mechanism to provide regulatory pilot space for on-chain assets and tokenized securities, pointing out that the comprehensive rule-making process is lengthy, which may delay the implementation of technology and lead to innovation outflow. Previously, Citadel had suggested that the SEC strengthen regulation of DeFi through formal legislative processes.

The Solana Foundation stated that it will position the Solana network as the core infrastructure of the emerging "agentic internet," where economic activities are initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans.Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, stated at the New York Digital Assets Summit that AI is not a single vertical industry but a platform transformation that affects various sectors, including crypto. The strategic core of Solana is payment infrastructure, and the network has processed approximately 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial transactions. The programmatic nature of crypto payments is key to attracting agents, and stablecoins will become the default method for paying for any computational resources.Vibhu Norby believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, making micropayments and pay-per-use possible, which traditional payment channels cannot support. The Solana Foundation emphasizes that its high-performance design has advantages in this new paradigm: "Agents are calm, precise machines... If you ask agents how to use crypto payments, Solana often ranks as the preferred choice."Additionally, advancements in AI technology have lowered the development threshold, and Solana developers are directly building tools for AI systems, including machine-readable "skill" files and AI-first development platforms. Norby anticipates that in the future, user interactions with crypto will default to agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions initiated by large language models (LLMs).

On Tuesday, U.S. President Trump stated that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are leading negotiations with Iran and expressed optimism about reaching an agreement. Sources from Iran told CNN that Tehran is willing to consider "sustainable" proposals to end the war.Meanwhile, Israel has launched a new round of strikes against Iran, and Tehran has also attacked Tel Aviv. An Israeli official stated that the agreement "does not seem feasible at the moment." Two regional sources said that Iran has indicated to the Trump administration that it does not wish to restart negotiations with envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, but prefers to engage with Vice President JD Vance.Additionally, about 1,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division are expected to be deployed to the Middle East in the coming days. The Republican side has once again rejected a resolution requiring Trump to seek congressional authorization for future military actions against Iran.

According to foreign media reports, the conflict between Iran and the US and Israel continues unabated, while Trump claims that both sides are engaged in negotiations aimed at ending this conflict. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities such as Eilat, Dimona, and Tel Aviv, as well as US military bases in the Middle East during the night. Saudi Arabia stated that it intercepted a drone in its eastern region, while Kuwait reported that some power lines stopped operating following the Iranian attacks. Alarms also sounded in Bahrain.According to Iranian media Fars News, the US and Israel launched attacks that damaged a gas pressure regulation facility and an administrative building in the central Iranian city of Isfahan. Additionally, a pipeline supplying gas to the combined cycle power plant in Khorramshahr in southwestern Iran was attacked. The attacks continued after Trump postponed the decision to strike Iran's energy infrastructure.
