This report is authored by Tiger Research. While most people use AI every day, they rarely consider where the data flows. The question raised by Nesa is: what happens when you start to confront this issue?
Key Points
AI has integrated into daily life, but users often overlook how data is transmitted through central servers

Nesa reconstructed this process by transforming data before transmission(EE) and splitting across nodes(HSS-EE), ensuring that no single party can view the original data
Academic certification(COLM 2025) and real-world enterprise deployment(P&G) have given Nesa a first-mover advantage

The article discusses whether payments between AI Agents must rely on cryptocurrencies. The author points out that while traditional payment methods like Visa and Mastercard can support some scenarios, cryptocurrencies have structural advantages in AI-to-AI autonomous settlements.

Future payment systems may develop a layered structure, combining traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies to meet different transaction needs.

On January 20th, LayerZero announced that an important event would be revealed on February 10th. Although its token ZRO's price subsequently rose over 40% from about $1.70 to nearly $2.40, it’s clear that the market has already become desensitized to such "big event previews," and no one was really expecting what would happen.
Come February 10th, who would have thought that LayerZero would drop several heavy bombs on this predetermined day.
First, on the evening of the 10th, Tether announced that it had invested in LayerZero to support the development of blockchain interoperability technology. Early morning on the 11th, LayerZero officially announced that it will launch L1 Zero this fall, aiming to replace Ethereum as the "next-generation world computer."

1. Market Observation
The current macro market is experiencing a profound confidence crisis triggered by AI, with the narrative shifting from "AI frenzy" to "AI panic." Investors are no longer focused on who will benefit but are instead worried about which industries will be disrupted and replaced. On Thursday, financial markets experienced a broad sell-off, with US stock market capitalization evaporating by $1 trillion. Cisco plummeted 12% after releasing weak profit margin guidance. The Nasdaq dropped over 2%, the S&P 500 declined 1.57%, breaking below the 50-day moving average, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below 50,000 points. The seven tech giants all declined, with Apple dropping over 5%, losing approximately $202 billion in market value in a single day. Amazon's stock price, after eight consecutive days of decline, officially entered a technical bear market on Thursday, down 21.4% from its high. Industry insiders expect NVIDIA's February 25 earnings report to become an important event in the AI field.

Solana has recently faced a market winter, with its token SOL price dropping from a high of $295 to $80, a decline of 71%. Factors such as the cooling of the Meme craze, weakening of ecosystem narratives, and increased competition have led to a decrease in activity within the Solana ecosystem. Additionally, purchases of SOL by digital asset treasuries have failed to offset overall market pressure, shaking investor confidence.

1 Introduction
As crypto assets move from the fringe to the mainstream, the "SkyNet" of global tax regulation is accelerating its weave. Following the official release of the 2025 version of the Digital Asset Broker Information Reporting Form (Form 1099-DA,简称1099-DA) and its accompanying operational guidelines, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently updated two detailed rules. This move not only clarifies the mandatory reporting obligations for digital asset brokers but also refines the exemption thresholds for De Minimis transactions through supplementary rules, and innovatively provides an optional reporting method for stablecoins and designated NFTs (Specified Non-fungible Tokens).
