Author: @Web3Mario Summary: Hello everyone, long time no see. Sorry for the delay in updates; I have been working on designing and developing an AI product for the past three months. Honestly, changing direction is not easy. Any innovation must be built on a clear understanding of the industry boundaries before making incremental improvements beyond those boundaries. Therefore, I needed to acquire a lot of foundational knowledge in AI. Now that the product is preliminarily completed, I have more time to discuss macroeconomic environments and Web3 observations with everyone. Today, I want to talk about an interesting topic: USDT negative premium and the ongoing strengthening of the RMB. How should we view this, and how can we respond? Overall, I believe everyone doesn't need to panic too much. When building your investment portfolio, it's still wise to maintain a certain proportion of stablecoin assets. However, you can also use on-chain exchange rate hedging to appropriately avoid some foreign exchange losses. Why is the RMB entering an appreciation phase?

Author: trustin Part One: Timeline Review — Establishing Order January: MiCA Fully Enters into Force, European Market Completes "Quality Upgrade" 【Event】The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) for electronic money tokens (EMT) and asset-referenced tokens (ART) officially comes into effect. The European Banking Authority (EBA) has delisted more than 15 unlicensed algorithmic stablecoins and offshore USD stablecoins. 【In-Depth Analysis】This is the world's first major economy to complete a "clean-up" of the stablecoin market. The historical mission of algorithmic stablecoins in compliant markets has essentially ended. The market logic has shifted from "efficiency first" to "solvency first." This has also forced global exchanges to upgrade their token listing review mechanisms—without real-time proof of reserves (PoR) and clear legal entities, these assets will lose

The report particularly emphasizes that the capital-intensive transformation of Bitcoin mining is creating the clearest industry consolidation opportunity since 2020.

Now is the era of the "Agentic Economy." This term, selected as a core keyword by the premium monthly publication "Blockchain Business Review" under TokenPost in January 2026, signifies a new economic paradigm where AI transcends being a mere tool to become an autonomous economic activity主体. Moreover, this massive trend has been validated even in the most conservative and core area of the financial system—the "payment and settlement" system. Recently, a working paper published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and a research team from the Bank of Canada demonstrated that generative AI (Gen AI) has the potential to assume the role of a bank's "Cash Manager," implying that the agentic economy is not a distant sci-fi future but an imminent reality. ◇ BIS Experiment: AI Unlocks the "Liquidity Management" Challenge
