Original | Odaily Planet Daily (@OdailyChina) Author | Azuma (@azuma_eth) On January 6 this year, Polymarket officially began to impose trading fees on the "15-minute cryptocurrency price fluctuations" related markets, with specific fee rates changing in real-time according to market odds — the closer the odds are to 0% or 100%, the lower the fees; conversely, the closer the odds are to 50%, the higher the fees, which can reach up to 1.56%. This is apart from the U.S. market (Polym...

However, there is not much suspense regarding this Federal Reserve interest rate decision, as the market generally believes that the Federal Reserve will decide to keep interest rates unchanged. Polymarket data shows that the probability of maintaining interest rates unchanged has...

The book is called "The Bitcoin Standard," published in 2018, translated into 39 languages, with sales exceeding one million copies, revered by Bitcoin maximalists as the "Bible."

In the fourth quarter, Tether increased its gold holdings by 27 tons, and the circulation of USDT surpassed 187 billion. Meanwhile, Hong Kong announced plans to create a 2,000-ton gold storage facility. Behind this series of "gold hoarding fever" lies the exhaustion of physical asset liquidity and the explosion of on-chain finance. This article analyzes, through the latest data, why Tether's purchase of gold is a "dimensionality reduction strike," and why Bitcoin is the only Noah's Ark in 2026.

Original author: Haotian (X: @tmel0211) The superior man understands the Way and diligently practices it; the average man understands the Way, but is uncertain; the inferior man understands the Way and laughs at it. — "Tao Te Ching" This is a phrase that suddenly came to my mind amidst the noise filled with "Anything But Crypto," "Meme Nihilism," and "Crypto Doomsday." Especially after reading Vitalik Buterin's interview about 2026, this feeling has become even stronger. We see, Vital...

The MSTR premium has been reset, and the risk has been relatively released. Is this the best entry point for leveraged investment in Bitcoin?

Not long ago, I read an open letter from Jocy, the founder of IOSG, to the Chinese Crypto OG. In the letter, Jocy quoted a saying from Buffett: "In the next 100 years, ensure that the cathedral is not swallowed by the casino." Jocy used this metaphor to describe the dilemma of the crypto industry: on one side is the grand cathedral built with code and ideals, and on the other side is the huge casino filled with speculation and hype. Just a few days after this letter was sent, a developer named Peter Steinberger, for his open-source A...

In the frenzy of precious metals, an "invisible big player" has unexpectedly entered the spotlight, as the stablecoin giant Tether has quietly amassed a gold reserve of 140 tons.

Over the past year, global financial markets have been undergoing a process of re-evaluation that is not dramatic, yet extremely profound. High interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, fiscal deficits, and sovereign debt issues are intertwined, prompting investors to reconsider a seemingly "old-fashioned" question—what truly constitutes a reliable value anchor? The answer is not new, but the trend is very clear: precious metals like gold and silver are returning to a central position in asset allocation. Unlike the phase-based increases seen in traditional inflation cycles, this round of precious metal trends exhibits more pronounced structural characteristics. Gold has risen against the trend in a high interest rate environment, while silver continues to create...

Written by: Max.S Just yesterday, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Christopher Hui, announced with great fanfare that he aims to establish Hong Kong as a globally trusted gold storage location within three years, with a target capacity exceeding 2,000 tons. Meanwhile, across the ocean, stablecoin giant Tether revealed in its recently disclosed Q4 2025 financial report that it has increased its gold holdings by approximately 27 tons. On the surface, this appears to be an era of "gold revival." From the central banks of sovereign nations to the "central bank" of the crypto world, Tether, it seems that everyone is frantically accumulating precious metals.
