Odaily Planet Daily reports that the South Korean Financial Services Commission has finalized guidelines allowing listed companies and professional investors to trade cryptocurrencies. This new regulation ends a nine-year ban, allowing eligible corporate entities to invest up to 5% of their net assets annually in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization on South Korea's five major exchanges.
This policy adjustment is expected to grant market access to about 3,500 entities, including listed companies and registered professional investment institutions. Regulators will also require exchanges to implement staggered execution and order size limits.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that on January 12, A-shares continued to surge significantly. As of the time of publication, the trading volume of A-shares exceeded the 34.7 trillion yuan set on October 8, 2024, setting a new record for daily trading volume. According to Wind statistics, A-shares have surpassed 30 trillion yuan on six previous occasions, specifically on October 8, 2024, August 25, 2025, August 27, 2025, August 28, 2025, September 18, 2025, and January 9, 2026. Notably, since mid-December 2025, A-shares have been on a continuous upward trend, with the Shanghai Composite Index achieving a 16-day winning streak, and by the close on January 12, a 17-day winning streak seems almost certain. The driving force behind the rise in A-shares on January 12 comes from a full-scale explosion in AI application themes, with commercial aerospace concept stocks continuing to ferment. (The Paper)
YouTube Crypto Content Views Drop to Lowest Level Since January 2021
Odaily Planet Daily reports that views of crypto content on YouTube have dropped to their lowest level since January 2021. Data shared by ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen shows a significant decline in views for such videos over the past three months. YouTube content creator Tom Crown stated that social engagement is at bear market levels, with retail investors taking a back seat during this cycle, and the market is primarily driven by institutions. Additionally, Santiment noted that Bitcoin's social sentiment is gradually improving, but the key for retail investors to maintain positive sentiment lies at the $90,000 price level.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that X product head and Solana advisor Nikita Bier previously disclosed that they are developing Smart Asset Tags (SmartCashtags). Some users in the crypto community have raised concerns about the backend for crypto asset queries, stating that some small-cap crypto assets not yet listed on mainstream exchanges may not be queryable, ultimately necessitating a switch to DEX for queries. In response, Nikita Bier stated that the API (Application Programming Interface) used by the X platform can almost real-time process any on-chain minted content. Furthermore, regarding whether users will be able to use self-custody wallets or even CEX widgets for crypto trading on X in the future, Nikita Bier did not provide a clear response, only replying with a "follow" emoji.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that the quantum-resistant cryptography professional institution BTQ Technologies (BTQ) recently announced a solution to protect the Bitcoin blockchain, named "BitcoinQuantum," a permissionless fork testnet that is said to be capable of addressing quantum challenges.
Chris Tam, head of partnerships at BTQ, stated that BitcoinQuantum is an openly runnable network where miners, developers, researchers, and users can stress-test against quantum transactions and reveal the trade-offs in actual operation before discussions on mainnet upgrades become urgent. The system includes a block explorer and mining pool, providing instant accessibility.
Tam explained that in August 2024, the quantum-resistant algorithm colloquially known as "Dilithium" (officially named the Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm ML-DSA) was standardized in the U.S., and this algorithm is the technology adopted by the Bitcoin quantum network. This algorithm has not been widely applied in rapidly innovating fields like cryptocurrency, primarily due to high operational costs. Compared to the digital signatures used when sending information to the blockchain or even sending a WhatsApp message, the data size of quantum-resistant algorithms increases at least 200 times. Therefore, while there are methods to address quantum risks, they also bring issues, mainly reflected in performance and cost overhead during large-scale deployment. (Coindesk)
Coinbase May Withdraw Support for CLARITY Bill Due to Stablecoin Reward Ban
Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is increasing pressure on U.S. lawmakers to resist proposals to ban certain decentralized finance terms in the major cryptocurrency bill known as the CLARITY Act. Bloomberg cites informed sources stating that if the bill restricts stablecoin issuers from offering rewards on platforms like crypto exchanges, Coinbase may reconsider its support for the bill.
Banking groups are concerned that stablecoin rewards and yield products could siphon off trillions of dollars from the traditional banking system. The GENIUS Act, passed in July 2025, prohibits stablecoin issuers from offering interest or yield to holders but does not explicitly ban third parties like crypto exchanges from providing rewards. The banking industry is currently trying to close this loophole through the CLARITY Act. Stablecoins have become a major source of revenue for Coinbase, contributing nearly $247 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee is expected to discuss this issue in a meeting this Thursday.

SEC Chair: It Remains to Be Seen Whether the U.S. Will Seize Bitcoin Held by Venezuela
Odaily Planet Daily reports that SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated in an interview with Fox Business that it remains to be seen whether U.S. authorities will seize the Bitcoin allegedly held by Venezuela following the arrest of its president.

Currently, several blockchain analysis firms have not confirmed the claim that the country holds $60 billion in cryptocurrency. Additionally, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee plans to review the Digital Asset Market Transparency Act (CLARITY) this Thursday. The bill aims to grant the Commodity Futures Trading Commission more regulatory authority over digital assets but may be delayed due to factors such as the 2026 midterm election campaigns.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tom Lee stated in a previously published letter from the chairman that BitMine shareholders should vote to support the amendment to increase authorized shares before the annual shareholders' meeting scheduled for January 15, 2026. This is due to a special provision in BitMine's charter requiring 50.1% of circulating shares to support the issuance of new shares, which is a very high threshold. Immediate action is needed to advance the issuance, as BitMine's current authorization of 500 million shares is about to be exhausted, which will slow down ETH accumulation. Therefore, shareholder approval is needed for a second proposal to increase authorized shares. (PRNewswire)
