Ripple just moved closer to the heart of the U.S. financial system. In December, the company received conditional approval from the OCC for a national trust bank charter.  That alone is notable. What really changes the picture is what comes next: access to a Fed master account, expected

ABL Life has launched a new insurance product that refunds policyholders' additional premium payments at specific points in time. The product's feature is that, under certain conditions, it will refund part of the premiums paid under the name of "Health Return Money." The newly launched "(No)WON Health Return Insurance" has the main characteristic of determining the return time based on the customer's age at the time of application, and at that point, it refunds the remaining balance of the premiums paid after deducting any claims received, as the Health Return Money. Its differentiated advantage is that, even if partial claims have been made, the coverage will continue for life. However, it should be noted that if the total claims received during the coverage period exceed the premiums paid by the customer, the Health Return Money will no longer be paid. This means that when the claims obtained from the additional insurance are higher, the actual refund will be limited, and consumers should understand this clause in advance. This insurance product can be combined to include the "three major diseases": cancer, cerebrovascular disease, and ischemic heart disease.

Tokenization is transforming finance, with key players like JPMorgan and Klarna embracing digital assets and stablecoins. Ondo (ONDO) is poised to support this shift by connecting traditional finance with onchain systems, facilitating the rise of tokenized assets for institutions.

While most traders around the world are immersed in the peaceful holiday atmosphere of Christmas, the cryptocurrency market staged a heart-stopping "flash crash" on Christmas Eve. On the evening of December 24th, a specific trading pair on Binance—BTC/USD1—plummeted from 87K to 24K within seconds, a decline of 72%, sparking widespread discussion in the community and heightened concern over the liquidity of emerging stablecoins. Binance BTC/USD1 Mysterious "Single Needle Drop" According to on-chain data and exchange K-line charts, while most traders worldwide are enjoying the Christmas holiday tranquility, the price of BTC/USD1 on Binance fell like a guillotine. Interestingly, at the same time, in the mainstream markets of BTC/USDT or

Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) track core infrastructure Brevis officially releases its native ecosystem token BREV with a complete economic model. BREV has a total supply of 1 billion tokens and serves as the payment medium, staking asset, and governance credential for the decentralized proof network Brevis ProverNet. The token release marks a significant step for Brevis towards an open proof market led by the community with aligned economic incentives. The initial circulation is 25% of the total supply, with team and investor tokens locked for one year, demonstrating the project's commitment to long-term development. With the launch of the mainnet testnet, BREV is expected to become a key value carrier connecting data, computation, and blockchain trust verification.

The stablecoin market is undergoing a profound transformation: its total market capitalization has surged from approximately $200 billion in 18 months to a historic milestone of over $310 billion, with active user growth exceeding 50% annually. A more critical signal comes from the heart of traditional finance—nine European banks plan to jointly issue stablecoins, JPMorgan is expanding JPM Coin, and Société Générale has launched EURCV. This series of intensive actions indicates that banks no longer view stablecoins as marginal speculative tools but are strategically positioning them as a core component of the next-generation payment and settlement infrastructure. Two major engines driving this shift are already clear: the implementation of global regulatory frameworks (such as the EU’s MiCA and the US’s GENIUS Act) provides a compliant pathway, and on-chain data shows that in 2025, small-value payments (transactions under $1,000) will reach a volume of $1.56 trillion, proving that stablecoins have become true “functional currencies.”

Recently, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly posted on Farcaster, defending the ethical value of prediction markets. He pointed out that compared to social media, which fuels sensationalist rhetoric, prediction markets built on economic incentives are a superior "truth discovery tool." This statement immediately sparked intense ethical clashes with Quilibrium founder Cassie Heart and others, who criticized the act of betting on human life and death as the root of the "industry's disdain." Meanwhile, prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are accelerating mainstream adoption, with data being included by Google Finance, and regulatory approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the form of a "no-action" exemption, signaling that this sector will continue to expand amid controversy.

The coordination mechanism meeting held by the central bank to crack down on virtual currency trading and speculation marked the beginning of a large-scale cleanup of mining farms in Xinjiang in half a month. Overnight, Xinjiang, once regarded by miners as a power paradise, fell into silence. Between December 14 and 15, a large number of mining farms in major mining clusters such as Changji and Hami in Xinjiang were suddenly disconnected from power, forcing approximately 400,000 mining machines offline. The total network computing power of Bitcoin sharply decreased by about 10% within 24 hours, with a maximum single-day drop of up to 18%, the largest weekly decline since June 2022, indicating an unusual tremor in the heart of cryptocurrency. 40,0000 mining machines shut down It is understood that many mining farms had already received official notices forwarded by the National Development and Reform Commission at the beginning of the month, requiring "to report mining activities to the NDRC in accordance with the central bank’s requirements." Multiple sources confirmed that during December 14 to 15, the major mining clusters in Xinjiang such as Changji and Hami were...

Author: Clow Last night, the crypto market once again witnessed a series of heart-stopping liquidations. Renowned investor Huang Licheng (known as "Brother Maji") had his long positions on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid liquidated up to 10 times in a short period. His account balance plummeted from previously $1.3 million to only $53,178 — less than 5% of the original amount. This is the cruelest scene of high-leverage trading: over $1.25 million in funds vanished in a matter of hours. Even more ironic, just a few days ago, he injected $254,700 USDC into Hyperliquid, increasing his ETH long position to 11,100 ETH, worth over $36 million. Yet, just a few days later, this newly injected capital, along with previous reserves, was crushed again in the high-leverage meat grinder. If the story ends here,

If Dubai is the "Las Vegas" of the crypto world—lively, marketing-driven, retail investors—then Abu Dhabi is quietly becoming the "New Wall Street"—capital, compliance, institutions. Recently, a uniform phenomenon has occurred across the global crypto market: leading stablecoin issuers and the largest exchanges have simultaneously obtained the same "pass." On December 9th The compliance stablecoin giant Circle obtained an ADGM financial services license (FSP). On December 8th The stablecoin leader Tether's USDT received recognition from ADGM. The leading exchange Binance announced it has obtained full permission from ADGM and will launch a new "three-entity" compliant framework in 2026. This is no coincidence. When trillion-dollar leaders collectively choose to "settle," it marks that crypto regulation in the Middle East has already

null Author: @kenchangh Compiled by: Hu Tao, ChainCatcher Initial Motivation I became interested in politics during my teenage years. Of all the books that radicalized my thinking, Ayn Rand's works (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged) had the greatest impact. In 2016, with a libertarian heart, I donated to Gary Johnson. In addition to being a devoted follower of Rand, I was also very interested in computer programming, so cryptocurrency was a natural fit for me. I was deeply attracted to the spirit of cypherpunks. The concept of Bitcoin as a private bank for the wealthy fascinated me. The idea of crossing borders with a billion dollars in assets has always been incredibly striking to me. However, as time went on, I felt I lost my direction in the cryptocurrency space. After going full-time, the most...

MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson), the world's most-subscribed YouTube superstar, is expanding his vast business empire into the heart of fintech.

Written by: Luke, Mars Finance In the world of cryptocurrency, nothing gets the adrenaline pumping quite like insider information. Especially when that information comes from the First Family of the White House. On November 24, faced with a comprehensive collapse of the crypto market, Donald Trump's second son and the core figure of the family business landscape—Eric Trump—suddenly sent a very clear signal to the market. In the face of a horrific situation where the family wealth evaporated by 1 billion dollars, he did not panic, but instead displayed an almost fanatical diamond hands attitude: "This is a great buying opportunity; those who buy during the dip and embrace volatility will be the ultimate winners." This sounds like a kind reminder from the heart of power. After all, if even the president's son is bottom-fishing, what reason do retail investors have to panic? But as experienced investors, we refuse to follow blindly. If we peel away the halo of the first family and examine carefully,

The South Korean government has implemented the most severe housing restrictions in history, akin to a high-risk surgical operation, attempting to excise the speculative tumor in one fell swoop. In contrast to Taiwan's gentle and holistic approach, these are two completely different paths. Which one can truly resolve the century-old dilemma of housing justice? (Background: The Executive Yuan opens the housing loan Faucet! Deciding on new arrangements to exclude Article 72-2 of the Banking Act has caused a stir in the legal community: Is an administrative order greater than the law?) (Supplementary background: Taiwan's real estate market is experiencing "sky-high asking prices, with transactions flatlining"; price negotiations start at a 15% cut, will there be another fall next year?) Recently, the South Korean government dropped a bombshell: "The most severe housing restrictions in history" have almost severed the possibility of ordinary people obtaining loans to purchase homes, attempting to excise the tumor of housing prices that has taken root in the heart of South Korean society. The government has stipulated that in core areas of the capital region, such as Seoul, the price of upscale residences exceeding 2.5 billion KRW (approximately 53.87 million TWD) has seen the loan limit plummet to just 200 million KRW (less than TWD 450).

Original Title: How a Father Uses Prediction Markets to Alleviate Parenting Anxiety Original author: Polyfactual Source of the original text: Reprint: Daisy, Mars Finance Last Tuesday morning, I stood in the pickup line at elementary school, my hand resting on my son's backpack, frozen in place. Just last weekend, another school shooting had dominated the headlines.

The Bitcoin community has once again plunged into intense debate. Previously, reports indicated that Luke Dashjr, a developer of the Bitcoin Knots client, is exploring the possibility of removing illegal data from the blockchain through a Hard Fork. At the heart of the controversy is a leaked discussion that suggests Dashjr is considering a framework: a committee composed of a quorum of signers that would use zk-SNARKs to retroactively modify blockchain entries. The aim of this move is to filter out violative or illegal non-financial data embedded in Bitcoin's immutable ledger while preserving the valid transaction history.
