Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua posted on X platform: "With the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the war has officially ended. I still hold the view that neither side has a reason to continue fighting; peace is the only best choice.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently hovering around $75,000, facing supply pressure, but institutional demand remains stable.Market sentiment is boosted by news of the extended ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The dollar has fallen to a near six-week low, and U.S. Treasury yields have also declined, conditions that typically support cryptocurrency prices; gold has risen in tandem, indicating that the market is seeking a balance between risk appetite and safe-haven demand.On-chain data shows that when prices reach a key cost benchmark for short-term holders, Bitcoin often experiences a supply surge. This level is around $76,800, which could constitute significant resistance, at which point investors may choose to take profits when breaking even.The newly established MSBT fund under Morgan Stanley has quickly attracted over $100 million in inflows due to the market's lowest fee rates, prompting competitors like Goldman Sachs to initiate a new round of competition.Meanwhile, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and Iran's threats to disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf continue to cast a shadow over the global economic outlook. The impact on energy supply has begun to raise inflation expectations, which may influence central bank policy direction and, in turn, affect the cryptocurrency market.

The recent spot price of RAVE has surged from $0.3 to $6.2, achieving an increase of about 20 times, leading the community to suspect that the project is harvesting through contract operations. According to Coinglass data, this operation has resulted in a total liquidation amount exceeding $37 million across the network, with short positions liquidating over $31 million, and the project team expects profits to exceed $30 million.According to community revelations, the RAVE project is operated by the original ARPA and Bella Protocol teams, with the main operators being Felix Xu and Yemu. Felix Xu raised a $20 million crypto fund, ZX Squared Capital, in 2021, which primarily engages in quantitative trading. The active market-making and capital for RAVE mainly come from this fund, with the project team self-initiating the project, self-funding, and self-market-making to maximize the reduction of trust friction and the risk of insider trading, thereby achieving profit maximization.

The "short oil long crypto" portfolio position successfully turned from a previous unrealized loss of 9.7 million dollars to a profit.

According to Caixin, with the official implementation of new regulations on loan assistance and the slowdown in consumer credit demand, multiple consumer loan assistance platforms showed a consistent trend in the fourth quarter of 2025: revenue and loan issuance scale declined year-on-year, and net profit fell sharply.As the loan assistance business enters a contraction phase, various platforms are seeking "overseas expansion" and investing in the "crypto space" as a second growth curve. It is reported that platforms such as Lexin and Yirendai have already laid out overseas businesses, with Southeast Asia and Latin America becoming the main battlegrounds. Weixin Jinke has been continuously investing in the blockchain industry over the past two years.

According to a report by The Block, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea has released a report indicating that in the second half of 2025, approximately $60 billion (90 trillion KRW) of cryptocurrency assets from South Korean exchanges will flow to overseas platforms and private wallets, representing a 14% increase from the first half of the year. Regulators believe this may be related to arbitrage activities during market volatility.Meanwhile, despite a 3% increase in the number of users on local exchanges to 11.1 million accounts and a 31% rise in deposits to 8.1 trillion KRW (approximately $5.4 billion), the combined operating profit of 18 exchanges in the second half of 2025 was only 380.7 billion KRW (approximately $253 million), a significant decline of 38% compared to the first half.The total market capitalization of the South Korean crypto market at the end of 2025 is estimated to be around 87.2 trillion KRW (approximately $58 billion), an 8% decrease from the first half of the year. The average daily trading volume also fell by 15% to 5.4 trillion KRW (approximately $3.6 billion), with regulators pointing out that the decline in the prices of major cryptocurrencies at the end of the year was the main reason for the drop in trading volume and profitability.

According to CoinDesk, cryptocurrency industry practitioners saw the latest provisions regarding stablecoin yields in the revised version of the Senate's "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" during a closed-door review meeting on Capitol Hill on Monday. The initial impression is that the relevant language is too narrow and not clear enough.The new provisions were announced last Friday by Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Thom Tillis. According to a person familiar with the current draft, the new provisions will prohibit earning yields solely from holding stablecoins, while restricting any practices that equate the program with bank deposits, and setting further limitations on other potentially allowed activities, with the specific identification mechanism for activity-based stablecoin rewards still unclear.This compromise stems from the lobbying struggle between the cryptocurrency industry and the banking sector: the banking industry insists that stablecoin rewards should not be similar to interest-bearing bank deposits, arguing that such competing products could harm the banking sector and suppress lending. The final compromise allows for reward programs based on user stablecoin activities but prohibits rewards based on balances.The closed-door review aims to push the Senate Banking Committee to schedule a hearing, which is an important step for the bill toward a full Senate vote. A similar version of the "Clarity Act" was passed in the House of Representatives last year, and another version has also passed the Senate Agriculture Committee's markup process. The advancement of the bill still faces other obstacles: all parties need to reach an agreement on the DeFi regulatory framework, and Democrats insist on including provisions that prohibit senior government officials from profiting personally from the cryptocurrency industry, a provision clearly targeting President Trump.

A wallet address that received 7,447 ETH (approximately $16.29 million) from Tornado Cash, "0x7a7," is suspected to be behind the CAKE/THE liquidation cascade event on Venus Protocol.The attacker borrowed $9.92 million in stablecoins using ETH as collateral on Aave, then hoarded a large amount of THE and allegedly manipulated the price upwards on centralized exchanges, subsequently depositing 36.1 million THE into Venus to borrow assets like BTC, BNB, and CAKE.About 40 minutes later, the price of THE collapsed, triggering a series of liquidations, resulting in $2.15 million in bad debts for Venus. The attacker extracted approximately $5.07 million in assets, with actual profits potentially being higher—mainly from short positions on centralized exchanges during the crash.
