New York Stock Exchange plans to launch tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement platform

The New York Stock Exchange plans to launch a tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement platform, aiming to support 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and ETFs, fractional trading, stablecoin-based fund settlement, and instant delivery, integrating the existing matching engine with a blockchain settlement system. According to the plan, tokenized stocks will have the same dividends and governance rights as traditional securities. The NYSE's parent company, ICE, is also collaborating with banks like BNY Mellon and Citibank to explore tokenized deposit and clearing infrastructure to support cross-timezone, round-the-clock fund and margin management.

Caixin: Digital RMB smart contract development supports fully Turing-complete languages like Ethereum's Solidity

According to a source familiar with digital RMB technology, smart contracts based on the account system of digital RMB, like those on public chains, are essentially "condition-triggered automatic execution codes," differing in whether they possess full Turing completeness. Smart contracts based on the account system of digital RMB are considered restricted Turing complete, with programming strictly limited to templates permitted by the central bank, only supporting preset, simple condition-triggered functions. This design is primarily for security and risk control considerations. The development of digital RMB smart contracts supports various programming languages, including fully Turing-complete languages like Ethereum's Solidity. The core challenge is designing a standard access and audit mechanism that can be accepted by the financial system.

Reserve Bank of India promotes BRICS CBDC interconnectivity, 2026 summit may attempt cross-border settlement "de-dollarization"

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is pushing a plan to connect central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) among BRICS nations, aiming to simplify cross-border trade and tourism while reducing the dominance of the dollar. It is reported that the RBI has urged the proposal to establish a CBDC interconnection system to be included in the agenda for the BRICS summit that India will host in 2026. This will be the first formal attempt by BRICS members to establish CBDC links, which include Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, and new member countries such as the UAE, Iran, and Indonesia.

Wintermute: The four-year cycle is being eliminated, liquidity and investor attention are the new driving forces in the crypto market

Wintermute announced on the X platform that the traditional four-year cycle of Bitcoin is being eliminated. Market performance is no longer determined by self-fulfilling time narratives but by the flow of liquidity and the focal points of investor attention.

Wintermute's over-the-counter (OTC) liquidity data shows that the transmission of crypto-native wealth has weakened in 2025. ETFs and DAT have evolved into "walled gardens," providing sustained demand for large-cap assets, but capital will not naturally rotate into the broader market. As retail interest shifts to stocks, 2025 has become an extremely concentrated year, with altcoin rebounds averaging 20 days, down from 60 days in 2024.

Immunefi CEO: On-chain security is improving, but "humans" are becoming the biggest vulnerability in crypto security

Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador stated in a recent interview that while cryptocurrency losses continue to rise, on-chain security is improving. 2025 is projected to be the year with the highest recorded number of hacker attacks, but the biggest security failures do not stem from on-chain code but from Web2 operational errors, such as passwords, private keys, infected devices, and human mistakes. As code becomes increasingly difficult to exploit, the main attack surface for crypto security in 2026 will be humans, and the human factor has become a weak link that Web3 participants must prioritize.

glassnode: $98,000 is the key threshold for recent BTC rebound breakthrough

glassnode announced on the X platform that the STH-NUPL indicator (which measures the ratio of new investors' unrealized profits and losses to the market cap of short-term holders) shows that new investors have been in a state of net unrealized loss since November 2025. Analysis indicates that to return this group to a net profit state, the price of Bitcoin needs to rise to approximately $98,000 or higher.

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin's advanced sentiment index falls below neutral line, triggering "de-leveraging pullback" after $97,000 high

CryptoQuant analyst Axel stated on social media that from January 13 to 15, the "Bitcoin: Advanced Sentiment Index" rose to about 80%, indicating an extreme bullish range, which coincided with the price approaching a local high of $97,000. However, today the index has plummeted to 44.9%, falling below the 50% neutral line. In the drop earlier today, the hourly liquidation amount exceeded $205 million. The spot oscillator surged to +97.96%, indicating that liquidations were almost entirely dominated by long positions. The scale of liquidations suggests that this was forced liquidation rather than voluntary selling, characteristic of a "crash to clear leverage" in an overheated market. If the liquidation volume continues to decline in the coming hours, it will signal that the de-leveraging process is nearing completion.

CZ responds to high fiat withdrawal fees on Binance: The more people use the product, the lower the fees will be

CZ responded on the X platform to the high fiat withdrawal fees on Binance, stating: "For new products, the more they are used, the better the depth will be. Although I understand that this fee is from the bank, the more people use the product, the lower the fees will be." Additionally, some community users reported that their chosen fee is a fixed $25, with a one-day processing time, suitable for large withdrawals. The larger the withdrawal amount, the relatively lower the fee loss. Subsequently, some users also reported that the fees seemed to have decreased.

Vitalik Buterin: Shift in attitude towards native Rollups, ZK timeline gradually maturing

Vitalik Buterin stated that he is now "clearly more inclined to support native Rollups" compared to the past. Vitalik recalled that a significant reason for opposing native Rollups previously was that their precompiled solutions had to choose between ZK mode or Optimistic mode, and at that time, ZK-EVM was not mature. Layer 2 often chose the latter option, which involved "fast withdrawals but self-proving risks" versus "relying on Ethereum's security but needing to wait 2–7 days for withdrawals," thereby weakening Ethereum's composability and promoting the proliferation of multi-signature bridges and other solutions.
