January 15th, analyst Darkfost combined on-chain metrics information to indicate that despite Bitcoin's strong short-term rebound breaking through $97,000, short-term holders (STH) seem more inclined to take profits.During yesterday's Bitcoin breakout above $97,000, over 40,000 BTC in a profitable position were sent to CEX. Darkfost suggests that STHs are evidently still impacted by the recent correction, seemingly requiring more upside potential and stronger confirmation to rebuild confidence and generate enough unrealized gains to encourage holding instead of selling.

January 6th. Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy stated that he is against insider trading in prediction markets. If insider trading is normalized, it will be beautified as a feature rather than a loophole, which would be very regrettable. He holds a very low opinion of those who engage in insider trading on platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi.In a reposted post, it was also mentioned that even if you just catch a whiff of non-public information, you should resolutely avoid trading in that market. Perhaps insider traders may escape punishment, or perhaps not, but taking this risk is not worth it. Insider traders may find themselves behind bars for insider trading on Polymarket. Knowing they can't lose but still speculating is extremely unethical, extracting profit from those in the dark.

January 6th — According to NewSIS, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea is actively considering the introduction of a "Payment Freeze" system to early-stage freeze accounts suspected of manipulating cryptocurrency prices, preventing suspects from transferring or concealing illegal gains during investigations. This measure is similar to the stock price manipulation account freeze system introduced through an amendment to the Capital Market Act in April last year.During a Financial Services Commission meeting in November last year, several commissioners expressed their support for this, suggesting that a similar mechanism should be included in the cryptocurrency second-phase bill. South Korean financial authorities pointed out that cryptocurrency assets are particularly easy to hide after being transferred to personal wallets. Currently, regulations can only prevent funds from entering or leaving trading platforms, but they can still be withdrawn to financial institutions. The new measure will help promptly prevent the hiding of illicit gains and provide assurance for subsequent recovery.

January 6, Virtuals Protocol launched a new AI agent project initiation mechanism: Pegasus, Unicorn, and Titan.Pegasus is designed for early builders and does not include a team allocation or automatic fundraising mechanism. Almost all of its token supply is allocated to the liquidity pool, with only a small portion reserved for ecosystem airdrops.Unicorn features small-scale public launches for all projects, with no pre-sale, whitelist, or capped allocations. An anti-sniper mechanism prevents bots from dominating early trading, converting initial volatility into protocol-native buybacks to enhance liquidity. The team's held tokens are only sold automatically in a transparent manner after the project gains real market traction, with the funds raised dynamically adjusted within the 2 million to 160 million FDV range.Titan is designed for teams with established reputation, scale, and funding needs. This issuance model is suitable for projects meeting high benchmark readiness, with a minimum $50 million valuation requirement for initiation. At TGE, the VIRTUAL liquidity counterpart must reach 500,000 USDC, and the issuance transaction tax is fixed at 1%.
