【币界】比特币又有新动作了。BTC价格刚突破$88013.19，这个位置还是挺关键的。24小时涨幅达到1.21%，虽然不是暴涨，但这种稳步上升的节奏还是值得看的。

不过涨幅看起来温和，可能还在蓄力的阶段。短期内会怎么走，得继续关注后续的量价表现。

【Crypto World】The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under the Federal Reserve has recently taken new actions. They proposed a brand-new framework that clearly outlines the specific pathways for commercial banks to apply for issuing payment stablecoins through subsidiary channels.
This move is widely regarded within the industry as a significant breakthrough in US financial regulation. It is important to note that payment stablecoins have long been in a regulatory gray area, and the FDIC's clear stance this time provides the market with a relatively clear signal. The new framework not only stipulates the application conditions but also opens a window for the banking system to enter the stablecoin field.
For traditional financial institutions, participating in stablecoin issuance through relatively independent subsidiaries can both mitigate risks and offer greater flexibility. This could stimulate more financial institutions' interest in the stablecoin sector and accelerate the integration of traditional finance with the Web3 ecosystem.

CME recently launched the TAS trading feature for Solana, Micro SOL, Ripple, and Micro XRP futures contracts, allowing traders to trade at the settlement price at market close, enhancing flexibility.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Asset management institutions recently released the top ten predictions for the cryptocurrency market in 2026, continuing to be optimistic about the upward prospects of BTC, ETH, and SOL. Remember their ten key predictions for the 2025 market at the end of last year, now it's time for a review.
How did they do?
Honestly, only 3 out of 10 predictions were fully achieved, 4 were partially achieved, and the remaining 3 did not materialize. Such an accuracy rate is actually quite good in the prediction game.
The prediction that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana would hit new all-time highs was only achieved by BTC. Although Bitcoin reached a new high, it did not break the $200,000 target (partial achievement). The inflow of funds into BTC ETFs in 2025 is not expected to surpass the performance in 2024, which was overlooked.
Coinbase surpassing Charles Schwab and its stock price breaking $700? No. The highest was $444.64.

Bitwise predicts that by 2026, the crypto market will accelerate institutionalization, with Bitcoin potentially breaking cyclical patterns and becoming more stable in volatility. ETF demand will surge, and multiple related products will be launched in the market. On-chain treasury sizes will double, and Ethereum and Solana are expected to reach new all-time highs. The shift in traditional finance's attitude towards the crypto space reflects a trend of crypto assets moving closer to the mainstream financial system.

【Crypto World】A fintech company focused on stablecoin global payment solutions has just announced the completion of Series B funding, totaling $107 million. This round was led by well-known venture capital firm Goodwater Capital, with participation from top-tier institutions such as Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Circle Ventures, ultimately oversubscribed.
After the funding, the company's total financing has surpassed $200 million. In terms of business performance, it has currently accumulated over 6 million registered users, with an annualized payment transaction volume exceeding $10 billion. More notably, the company has achieved profitability. This indicates that the stablecoin payment track has moved from concept to actual commercial use, and has found a sustainable business model.
Regarding the funds raised, CEO Michael

Market analyst Chris Anstey pointed out that today's non-farm payroll report will have a significant impact on the Federal Reserve's decision, potentially changing the market's view of last week's rate cut decision. The strength or weakness of the employment data will directly influence Federal Reserve officials' stance, indicating that policy expectations for the next month could undergo significant changes.

【ChainWen】Recently, a leading exchange launched a contract CTA strategy tool — "Jinxuan Smart Investment," which simply means integrating quantitative trading programs into contract (futures) trading. Here's the gist: the platform will select a batch of verified high-quality CTA strategies to help users capture opportunities more accurately during market fluctuations, while keeping risks within acceptable ranges.
The logic behind this tool is actually easy to understand. The contract market is inherently volatile with many opportunities, but ordinary traders find it difficult to monitor the market at all times. The benefit of using strategy tools is that they can automatically execute trading plans, avoiding decision errors caused by emotional fluctuations. According to publicly available information from the platform, this is just one of their series of intelligent trading tools launched this year; they have previously introduced products like contract拼盘 and arbitrage robots.
However, it must be said that no strategy tool guarantees capital preservation. Contract trading itself is high-risk, and strategies are only meant to help you

Custodia Bank of Wyoming has filed a petition with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the Federal Reserve's decision to deny its primary account opening application, arguing that the denial was based on a negation of state legislative authority.

Some analysts predict that Bitcoin may break the four-year cycle pattern and reach a new high in 2026. The reasons include the weakening impact of the halving, liquidity easing driven by interest rate cut expectations, and accelerated institutional investment. This will narrow Bitcoin's volatility range and significantly enhance its attractiveness.
