According to Jinshi Data, on Monday morning, Japanese government bond prices fell, and yields rose again to their highest levels in decades. Market concerns are growing that escalating conflicts in the Middle East will drive up inflation rates. The yield on 10-year bonds rose 6 basis points to 2.32%, close to the historic high set in January 1999.The yield on 5-year bonds rose 5 basis points to 1.72%, just a step away from its highest level since issuance. The fluctuations in Japanese government bond yields follow the movements of U.S. Treasury yields, which have been declining for several weeks and are currently at their highest levels in months.There are no signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, as Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran, demanding it open the Strait of Hormuz, or else he would launch attacks on Iran's power plants. This deadline will expire on Monday night New York time.

The founder of Bitcoin Strategy, Michael Saylor, posted on the X platform stating that during bank holidays, Bitcoin can still transfer any amount to any location in the world within minutes, with transaction fees of about $0.44 (approximately 1 sat/vB).During the previous "Blocksize Wars" period, there were widespread concerns in the market that Bitcoin would face a scalability crisis. However, more than a decade later, Bitcoin's on-chain transaction fees remain low, and network bandwidth resources are abundant. This outcome once again demonstrates that market mechanisms and technological innovations are often more effective in addressing systemic challenges than administrative emergency interventions.

At the "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum held by ChainCatcher in Hong Kong, Michael, co-founder & CEO of the ZK verifiable computing platform Brevis, delivered a keynote speech on "The Infinite Computing Layer Where Everything Can Be Computed," sharing how ZK technology is driving a fundamental transformation in the blockchain computing paradigm.Michael pointed out that the current on-chain computing costs are high and the speed is slow. The "verifiable computing" paradigm proposed by Brevis can offload heavy computations to off-chain, requiring only low-cost verification on-chain, achieving decoupling of computation and verification while supporting privacy protection scenarios.The speech showcased the performance breakthroughs of Brevis's core product, Pico ZKVM: its latest generation, Pico Prism, can complete Ethereum block proofs in an average of 6.9 seconds, with 99.6% of blocks completed within 12 seconds, achieving real-time proof (RTP) for Ethereum for the first time. Currently, Pico ZKVM, as an "on-chain ZK data co-processor," has been applied in various scenarios such as privacy-preserving incentive distribution, high-performance DeFi, and trustless on-chain data computation, providing Rust programming support for developers with zero ZK development experience.Michael predicts that in the next 10 years, 99% of blockchain computing will occur off-chain, verified through ZK proofs. Brevis is driving this process through its verifiable computing infrastructure.

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Zhao Changpeng stated that technology itself does not bring risks, but rather accelerates the exposure of existing problems, pointing out that the root of the banking liquidity crisis lies in the "fractional reserve system." He cited Binance as an example, stating that the platform once handled withdrawals of up to $7 billion in a single day, with no overall pressure.Zhao Changpeng predicted that with the maturity of blockchain and KYC technology, the number of physical bank branches will significantly decrease in the next decade. At the same time, he expressed reservations about direct payments in Bitcoin and Meme coins, believing that Meme coins are highly speculative, and the vast majority will struggle to last, with only a few like Dogecoin potentially enduring due to their cultural value.

Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor posted on the X platform, stating that the best-performing assets over the past decade are: digital intelligence (NVIDIA, NVDA), digital credit (Strategy, MSTR), and digital capital (Bitcoin, BTC).

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin is expected to achieve sustained and robust returns over the next decade, but it is unlikely to replicate extreme annual gains. He pointed out that Bitcoin may enter a "long-term slow upward" phase, accompanied by relatively lower volatility, but will still experience periodic pullbacks. Hougan also maintains his view that Bitcoin will strengthen overall by 2026, believing that there is still upward potential for prices next year.Hougan believes that the recent pullback in Bitcoin has significantly converged compared to historical cycles, mainly due to the continuous and slow inflow of institutional funds, which provides support against price declines. ReserveOne Chief Investment Officer Sebastian Beau stated that there is still controversy over whether the four-year cycle of Bitcoin has ended, as the current price has quickly fallen about 30% from its peak, but has not yet experienced the deep adjustments of over 60% seen in previous cycles. Some market participants remain cautious, with trader Peter Brandt expecting Bitcoin to potentially dip to $60,000 in the third quarter of 2026.Regarding macro and policy factors, Hougan believes that the marginal impact of the Trump administration on Bitcoin prices is limited, as the regulatory stance on its "commodity attributes" has become relatively clear, and future policy changes may no longer serve as a major driving force for price increases.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin may maintain stable returns over the next decade, but it is unlikely to see particularly large annual increases.Matt Hougan believes that Bitcoin will undergo a steady upward trend over a ten-year period. While the returns may not be spectacular, they will be stable, with lower volatility, and there will be fluctuations during this time.

The Web3 DeCaFi platform HashEpoch officially launched version 2.0, establishing new industry standards through 12 key mechanism innovations.This upgrade involves a comprehensive reconstruction around technical architecture, ecological collaboration, and token economic models, relying on the block hash mechanism to ensure system transparency, achieving automated fund settlement based on smart contracts, and adopting a decentralized governance model to support broader ecological participation.The platform also enhances compatibility and interaction capabilities with various types of third-party tokens, further expanding diversified application scenarios and continuously promoting the "code is trust" paradigm in the Web3 field.

According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that with the proliferation of Bitcoin, stablecoins, and asset tokenization, the crypto market is expected to grow 10 to 20 times in the next decade. He cited SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' view that the entire U.S. stock market will be on-chain within a few years.Currently, the total value of the U.S. stock market is about $68 trillion, while on-chain stocks are only about $670 million, indicating that the transformation is still in its early stages. Hougan emphasized not betting on a single public chain, preferring to hold crypto market index funds to mitigate risks.

Matrixport tweeted, "Bitcoin has entered an extreme panic zone, with market pessimism returning to a level rarely seen in nearly a decade. From an emotional standpoint alone, the current situation easily creates the illusion of 'panic bottoming and risk clearance.'However, beneath this surface, there are still many signals hidden in the data that traders have yet to notice. Several indicators that issued warnings before the drop in October have now moved to the opposite extreme, but this does not mean that the risks have been alleviated. Some key indicators are showing a clear divergence from prices, suggesting that a short-term market structure, which is almost unnoticed, is taking shape.Meanwhile, the macro pressures that triggered this round of sell-off have not eased, and the coming weeks will determine whether Bitcoin stabilizes or enters a deeper phase of correction."

According to CoinDesk, Standard Chartered Bank has partnered with DCS Card Center to become the main banking partner for the new credit card DeCard.
