Column Article Popularity List TOP 10
PANews has created relevant posters for the top five popular articles this month to recognize these in-depth, high-quality contents.
No.1 Tiger Research
Tiger Research is a research, GTM consulting, and investment company focused on the Asian Web 3 market.
《Tiger Research: In-depth Analysis of the Regulatory Gap in Asian Prediction Markets》 Currently, there is a lack of clear regulatory policies for prediction markets in Asia, leading to billions of dollars flowing to overseas platforms, resulting in lost tax revenues for governments and a lack of protection for ordinary investors' rights. Western countries have included such platforms in regulation by classifying them as financial derivatives (like in the US) or gambling (like in the UK). In contrast, Asia, where gambling is often state-monopolized and financial laws have overly rigid definitions, has left prediction markets in a gray area for a long time. For instance, South Korea primarily relies on criminal measures to combat this, while Japan has resorted to complex legal workarounds similar to "pachinko," without achieving formalization.
No.2 danny
danny is the co-founder of Pundi AI, mainly publishing observations on the crypto market and adept at interpreting from a mathematical perspective.
《Binance Becomes the New Battleground for Weekend Stock Markets: Using Perp to Seize Price Power, and bStocks to Build Inventory and Error Correction System》 Binance is attempting to compete for pricing power during traditional US stock market closures through a combination model of Perp and bStocks. Perp, with its low costs, high leverage, and continuous trading characteristics, becomes the engine for generating candidate prices; while bStocks, as the spot inventory layer, provides risk hedging and error correction support for Perp's high-frequency trading through positions, collateral, on-chain transfers, and lending functions.
No.3 Master Zuo's Crooked Neck Mountain
Master Zuo's Crooked Neck Mountain is a post-95s entrepreneur all in Web 3, focusing on financial games and technology consulting, sharing insights and analyses on the crypto market on social platforms.
《Binance Ends Wealth Effect of Exchanges, Trump Begins New Wave of Wealth Creation》 In 2026, crypto exchanges are facing lows in liquidity and reputation. As the TGE boom retreats, exchanges attempt to seek survival by transforming into all-purpose brokers, incorporating traditional financial assets such as US stocks, Korean stocks, and even A-shares into their trading mix. However, this simple aggregation of varieties has not brought the expected wealth effect. Currently, Coinbase and Robinhood are battling fiercely in the West, while Chinese platforms represented by Binance face growth bottlenecks.
No.4 DAN KOE
DAN KOE Dan Koe is a one-person entrepreneur who shares expertise online, originally a web designer, then transitioned to freelancing, and later became a creator earning income through content creation and digital products.
《Dan Koe: The Counterintuitive Truth, You Don't Need to Remember Everything You Read》 Modern people are trapped in "collection anxiety," mistakenly believing that remembering everything they have read is learning. True learning is not rote memorization, but driven by "output." If the information is important enough, it will naturally settle in practice. It is advised to view learning as a feedback loop: first set specific goals, directly start projects, and then retrieve knowledge as needed.
No.5 animajoe
animajoe mainly focuses on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, macroeconomics, and crypto tokens.
《When Bottlenecks Begin to Migrate - Interconnect, HBM, and the Repricing of the Entire Storage Empire》 On August 4, the storage industry welcomed a significant turning point: SK Hynix and SanDisk released high-bandwidth memory standards, while Nvidia assessed lowering HBM configurations. This marks a shift in the AI infrastructure bottleneck from computing units to the interconnect layer. With the proliferation of hundreds of thousands of card clusters, the demand for data transmission bandwidth has surged, and the value system of storage is being rewritten. Interconnect technology (optical interconnect, advanced packaging) has become the top priority, with HBM returning to the fundamental level.
No.6 Tiger Research
Tiger Research is a research, GTM consulting, and investment company focused on the Asian Web 3 market.
《Tiger Research: 700 Trillion Won Flees Overseas, the South Korean Market is Missing the Entire Crypto Era》 Between 2021 and 2026, about 700 trillion won flowed from South Korea overseas. Due to the South Korean market being limited to spot trading, it cannot meet investors' demand for derivatives, prediction markets, and payment services, leading to significant capital turning to overseas platforms. In 2025, South Korean investors contributed approximately $3.5 billion in fees to overseas exchanges.
No.7 QQlink
QQlink is a Web3 super application integrated with encrypted communication, multi-chain wallets, and AI real-time translation, aiming to provide secure and efficient messaging and asset management functions.
《Fidelity Warning: The Prosperity of AI Agents May Not Be a Feast for Public Chains》 US stock researchers investing in TALK noted that the AI market trend has shifted from "speculating on hardware" to "validating profits." They believe that Meta selling computing power reflects a computing shortage rather than a bubble, and Anthropic's IPO will further clarify the path to AI commercialization. Regarding the second half of the year, they suggest not being overly pessimistic and adopt a "soft and hard recovery" strategy.
No.8 Biteye
Biteye is a blockchain research institution and community focusing on L1/L2, DeFi, NFT, and Web3.
《Bitcoin and Ethereum Take Off Together, Eight Major Altcoins Worth Watching in the Future》 Since Trump's new announcement, the crypto market has seen a continuous stream of good news, with Bitcoin approaching $77,000 and Ethereum rising 20% in one day. Capital is likely to spread from mainstream currencies to altcoins, but it is not expected that "all coins will rise together"; only projects with real users, revenue, and strong value capture can attract funds.
No.9 Metrics Ventures
Metrics Ventures, abbreviated as MVC, is a secondary market liquidity fund driven by data and research, led by an experienced team of crypto professionals. The team has rich expertise in the fields of primary market incubation and secondary market trading.
《Metrics Ventures Market Observation: When "Currency is Worse" Becomes the Norm, How to Choose Safe-Haven Assets?》 The US Treasury market has priced in the failure of the Federal Reserve policy. In the context of dollar credit shaking, gold and major resource assets will be prioritized to absorb liquidity. With the marginal growth of AI expected to slow down, digital currencies are unlikely to experience excessive market movements in the short term. Currently, the trend of a bull market for renminbi assets is evident, and core assets like the SCI STAR 50 are worth watching.
No.10 ArkStream Capital
ArkStream Capital is a crypto-native fund focused on accelerating the development of Web 3.0 unicorns, dedicated to investing in digital assets and new financial markets.
《ArkStream Capital: From AI Absorption to RWA Rise, the Migration of Funds in the Crypto Market in 2026》 The siphoning effect from US stocks to the crypto market may have peaked in June, and the market may have entered a slow recovery phase. Currently, the demand for coins is weakening, but the demand for trading traditional assets via crypto infrastructure is rising rapidly, and RWA perpetual contracts have become an important growth engine for exchange business.
