Recently, a high-profile fundraising event was held during the 2024 Bitcoin Conference, raising approximately $21 million for a former president's campaign team.

In-depth discussion on the terms and conditions of USDT and USDC: doubts about the redemption rights of stablecoins.
The recent UST collapse has brought a huge impact to the crypto industry, raising people's doubts about the "stability" of stablecoins. The most concerning issue is whether stablecoins have sufficient fiat currency and asset backing.
Reserves are an important indicator for measuring the anchored value of stablecoins. However, if the legal terms of the stablecoin do not grant holders the legal right to convert on-chain assets into fiat currency, does this indicator still hold practical significance?
This article will focus on analyzing the terms of service of the two largest stablecoins by market capitalization, USDT and USDC, and the results may surprise many.

The New Logic of Web3 Entrepreneurship Under the New Global Trade Order
Changes in the macro environment are reshaping the global financial and trade landscape. The escalation of tariff policies under the Trump administration has triggered market turmoil, as the United States seeks to construct a new trade and financial order to maintain its dominance. In this context, the United States has begun to regard Bitcoin as a potential strategic asset, alongside gold, as a "dual anchor" for the dollar.

This series of actions indicates that the U.S. hopes to use Bitcoin alongside gold as anchor assets for a new financial system, extending the vitality of the dollar system.

XRP holders welcome new opportunities: Doppler Finance launches a win-win for yield and points.
Looking back at the performance of major mainstream tokens in this market cycle, although many believe Bitcoin is dominant, there are still a few tokens that have outperformed Bitcoin, among which Ripple(XRP) stands out the most.

Exploring the new darling of Bitcoin, Fractal: ecological innovation or a trend follower?
Since September, with the community frenzy sparked by Fractal, the market focus has returned to the Bitcoin ecosystem. A large number of users have participated in the assets and gameplay launched by Fractal, leading to high on-chain gas fees. The significant response to Fractal can be attributed to the current market slump and the lack of fresh narratives; on the other hand, many users place extra emphasis on Fractal's launch due to the precedent set by a certain wallet's generous airdrop. There were even extreme cases of internal competition during the testnet phase, with estimates of over ten million addresses participating in relevant tasks in hopes of receiving an airdrop. Additionally, the high return effects brought by asset protocols like Cat20, along with the fermentation of the profit-making effect, further boosted the popularity of Fractal.
The hunger marketing strategy of a certain wallet also played a role in promoting. Originally, the circulating supply of the airdropped FB was very small, but as

2024 Cryptocurrency Venture Capital Panorama Review: Infrastructure Project Financing Active, Fundraising Weak
In 2024, the encryption market experienced significant growth. The market capitalization of liquid cryptocurrencies reached $3.4 trillion by the end of the year, an increase of 88% year-on-year.

Bull run profits: balancing quality of life improvement and continuous investment
If you have unrealized gains in the market that could change your life, don't hesitate to cash them in decisively. This is not just advice, but a lesson I have learned from painful experiences. Early in my career, I often felt indecisive about whether I should take profits, and every moment of hesitation left me regretting it. Although our nominal wealth during the trading process may fluctuate, the fundamental principles always remain the same.
I gradually realized that choosing to sell when the profits are enough to change your life will bring you a benefit that cannot be measured in money: a permanent improvement in the quality of life for yourself and those around you. Just imagine how wonderful it would be to instantly improve your living conditions just by clicking the "Sell" button! If you have such an opportunity, I strongly recommend that you seize it.
I fully understand how tempting it is to wait for the best selling opportunity: always believing that just a little more patience will pay off.

Web3 faces various data leakage risks, categorized as protocol exploitation and network vulnerabilities, circulating on the dark web and hacker forums.

The Revival Journey of NFT: From Challenges to Opportunities
In the current challenging NFT market environment, NFTs remain an important bridge connecting traditional internet users with the Web3 world. However, the NFT industry is facing some urgent issues that need to be addressed.
Challenges faced by the NFT industry
Production-type NFT(, such as GameFi), is caught in the "growth or extinction" dilemma. Over-issuance leads to inflation, value instability, and may ultimately fall into a death spiral. In addition, the ecosystem is too fragmented, making it difficult for users to engage deeply.
Collective NFTs (, such as PFP ), create a closed-circle culture due to their scarcity, making it difficult to achieve value spillover. At the same time, the lack of preventive mechanisms and a healthy environment leads to excessive replication. The absence of practical application scenarios makes it hard to convert short-term marketing into long-term narratives, resulting in an empty user experience.
The unique advantages of NFT
Despite facing challenges, NFTs still have some
