Anhua, Hunan: EDA project suspected of pyramid scheme, its funds mainly rely on suspicious virtual currency trading platforms for collection
According to the Anhua public account, the EDA project that has emerged in the city has raised significant concerns. Investigations revealed that it poses major financial risks, and citizens are urged to remain vigilant.
The EDA project claims to be launched by Hong Kong EDA Group Holdings Limited, promoting its business under the guise of "cross-border e-commerce and logistics companies" to develop members who pay an entry fee to purchase "hot traffic" and become "new recruits," with the value of hot traffic equivalent to RMB.
The project currently relies mainly on overseas or uncertainly secure virtual currency trading platforms for collection, characterized by unstable funds and difficult regulation. In the event of financial fraud or money laundering, it would be challenging for the public to protect their rights.
Analysis indicates that the EDA project's collection channels, operational model, and reward system are suspected of being pyramid schemes, posing significant financial risks. Relevant departments will continue to monitor closely and take strong measures to combat such illegal activities.

According to CNBC, on Thursday, the Texas House of Representatives introduced legislation to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which could serve as a testing ground for the U.S. Treasury. Republican Representative Giovanni Capriglione announced at an X Spaces event that the bill proposes to allow the state to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve by accepting taxes, fees, and donations in Bitcoin, which will be held for at least five years.
The nonprofit Bitcoin advocacy organization Satoshi Action Fund, which collaborated with Capriglione to draft the bill, stated that this legislation aims to provide a method to strengthen the state's fiscal stability and position it as a leader in Bitcoin innovation.

RWA track is gaining momentum, which unissued potential projects are worth tracking?
The RWA track is on fire again.
As Trump wins the election and U.S. policy shifts, the market begins to embrace the "compliance" concept. RWA (Real World Assets) is seen as the preferred track for Wall Street funds to enter the crypto world, becoming a major theme in the current bull market.
Even when the overall crypto market experiences a pullback, the RWA sector remains resilient, showcasing several standout tokens. For example, the dark horse GOAL (football agency RWA) in the RWA track has seen a price increase of over 160% in the past 30 days according to Coingecko data; USUAL (stablecoin protocol), which just launched in mid-November, has surged over 120% in 14 days according to Coingecko data.
In addition to these new faces in the RWA space, investors see opportunities for a turnaround. Some older projects are also "repackaging old wine in new bottles," such as XRP and LTC, joining the celebration.
As the RWA track continues to heat up, the number of RWA projects is also beginning to skyrocket. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of projects? A preliminary screening might lead you to consider the following star RWA projects that have yet to issue tokens.
From zero to $800 million: How ELIZA is disrupting the AI agent market with the "marketplace" concept
ELIZA is an open-source modular architecture designed to create AI agents that can seamlessly interact with users and blockchain systems.
It embodies the marketplace philosophy, thriving in an ecosystem driven by collaboration and creativity through open-source development.
ELIZA has powerful autonomous trading capabilities and ensures safe and responsible operations through its trust engine and trust market.
The plugin system is a strategic advantage for ELIZA, creating a virtuous cycle: more developers → more plugins → more developers.
ELIZA's popularity is rapidly rising across multiple developer metrics, which is very promising.
In the short term, the relative valuation among AI agent platforms and the growing attention are driving price changes for ai16z. In the medium term, DAO investments and value capture from ELIZA ecosystem agents may significantly enhance its valuation.
ELIZA faces a significant challenge in the tech community: how to ensure the sustainability of the open-source framework. Monetization remains unclear, development may become chaotic, and without proper incentives, community interest may wane.
Single-day increase of nearly 400%, CZ's "shout-out" Travala has an annual revenue of $100 million
Following the last release of an image with the word "ALT," interpreted by the market as "the season of altcoins has arrived," Binance founder CZ directly endorsed the "Travala" project last night. "I invested before the COVID pandemic and the crypto winter, and I have continued to do so until now, BUILD."
Previously, the price of the Travala token AVA was only $0.74, with a market cap of about $40 million. Influenced by CZ's "clear shout-out," market funds reacted quickly, with a surge of buying, pushing the AVA price to break $3.5 at one point, with a maximum increase of nearly 400%. As of the time of writing, the AVA price remains around $3.1, with a 24-hour increase of 306%.
Travala claims to be a crypto-friendly travel platform, supporting over 100 cryptocurrencies for hotel and flight bookings. Odaily Planet Daily will analyze this project in this article.
