Abstract

The cryptocurrency market showed signs of recovery and increased risk appetite from January 19 to 25, with capital inflow into high-potential sectors. Huobi HTX’s newly listed assets demonstrated significant gains, led by RIVER (River), a chain-abstracted stablecoin system, which surged by 393%. The Chinese meme token "我踏马来了" (based on a viral tweet) also rose 192%. Multiple sectors saw notable activity: - In DeFi, established projects like AUCTION grew by 34%. - Layer-1 project HANA increased by 157%, while Taiko (an Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup) rose 47% in the Layer-2 segment. B2 Network, a Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, gained 19%. - Privacy and AI narratives remained strong, with Oasis Network (ROSE) up 44% and Kite AI (KITE) rising 40%. Huobi HTX emphasized its role in identifying high-quality assets early across diverse sectors—including DeFi, memes, public chains, privacy, AI, and BitcoinFi—enabling users to capture opportunities as market sentiment continues to improve.

Over the past week (January 19th to January 25th), the crypto market gradually warmed up amidst fluctuations, with a partial recovery in risk appetite. Funds began to re-concentrate on niche sectors with strong narratives and practical application prospects. Data shows that the new assets recently launched on Huobi HTX have released significant wealth effects. As a newly listed project, RIVER surged up to 393% after its listing on Huobi HTX, while the Chinese Meme project "我踏马来了" (I'm F*cking Coming) also saw a substantial increase of 192% post-listing.

As the market gradually recovers, Huobi HTX, through strict project screening and a forward-looking listing pace, continues to provide users with potential asset choices for "earlier discovery and faster participation." Opportunities across multiple sectors are also being realized more quickly on the platform.

DeFi and Meme Sectors: Sentiment Returns, Leading Assets Surge Strongly

● RIVER (River): Topped the platform with a weekly peak increase of 393%. River is building a chain-abstract stablecoin system that connects assets, liquidity, and yields across multiple blockchains. Notably, RIVER maintained active trading momentum even after the significant rise. Huobi HTX has simultaneously launched an Earn product with a 10% annualized yield, further expanding the income dimension beyond price performance.

● AUCTION (Auction): A veteran DeFi project, up 34% this week. Bounce aims to provide individuals and projects with various types of auctions. The BOT token, the governance token of the bounce.finance platform, has been swapped for AUCTION at a 1:100 ratio. In an environment of overall capital回流 (returning funds), assets with mature mechanisms and application foundations are once again attracting market attention.

● 我踏马来了 (I'm F*cking Coming): A Chinese Meme project on the BSC ecosystem, originating from a tweet of the same name by He Yi, achieved a weekly gain of 192%. Driven by community dissemination and sentiment, Meme projects with stronger regional and cultural attributes possess higher explosive potential during the market recovery phase.

Public Chains and Scaling: L1, L2 Steadily Advance, BTCFi Ecosystem Actively Explored

● HANA (Hana Network): Belongs to the Layer 1 sector, up 157% this week. Hana Network was launched by a Japanese team in December 2022. It builds new interfaces to bring users into cryptocurrency, including streaming and trading platforms. Against the backdrop of the evolving new public chain narrative, its technical roadmap and ecosystem planning are gradually gaining market recognition.

● TAIKO (Taiko): Belongs to the Layer 2 sector, with a weekly increase of 47%. Taiko is a fully open-source, permissionless Ethereum-equivalent ZK Rollup designed to natively scale Ethereum. The market maintains long-term expectations for Ethereum scaling solutions.

● B2 (B2 Network): Belongs to the BTCFi / Layer2 sector, up 19% this week. B2 Network is a next-generation Layer 2 scaling solution built on Bitcoin (BTC), aiming to significantly enhance Bitcoin's performance and scalability without compromising its foundational security. This sector is still in its early stages of development and possesses long-term potential.

Privacy Computing and AI Sectors: Structural Opportunities Continue to Unfold

● ROSE (Oasis): A representative asset in the privacy sector, up 44% this week. Oasis Network is a secure and scalable blockchain platform designed to redefine decentralized finance (DeFi) and promote the broader adoption of blockchain technology beyond early users. Against the backdrop of increasing data security and compliance demands, the mid-to-long-term value of the privacy computing sector continues to attract attention.

● KITE (Kite AI): An AI sector asset, with a weekly gain of 40%. Kite is building the first AI payment blockchain—a foundational infrastructure enabling autonomous AI agents to operate within it. After a phase of adjustment, the AI narrative continues to hold sustained appeal for quality projects.

In Conversation with Ray Dalio: We Are Currently in an AI Bubble, with 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns in an interview that the current AI boom shows classic bubble characteristics, which could lead to significant economic downturns as seen in past cycles like 1929 or 2000. He explains that speculative enthusiasm, fueled by debt and overvaluation, often precedes a crash when rising rates or taxation force asset sales, causing widespread losses and recession. Dalio also outlines his "Big Cycle" theory, describing an approximate 80-year pattern where widening wealth gaps, massive government deficits, and shifting geopolitical power (like China's rise) create internal conflict and global instability. He emphasizes that we are in a late-cycle, transitional phase where traditional powers like the US and UK face decline. For personal wealth protection, Dalio advises diversification beyond cash into assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and particularly gold, which he prefers over Bitcoin. While he holds about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin as a non-printable hard asset, he views gold as more secure from technological or governmental threats. Regarding AI's impact, Dalio believes it will disproportionately benefit capital owners, worsening inequality by replacing both physical and cognitive labor. He suggests that human intuition and emotional intelligence, combined with AI, will be key for future workers. On taxation, Dalio argues that wealth taxes are impractical and risk triggering asset sell-offs, reducing productive investment. He points to the UK as a cautionary example of debt, low productivity, and political strife. Geopolitically, Dalio foresees a more regionalized world, with the US showing weakness in prolonged conflicts like with Iran, akin to past imperial declines. The ideal outcome, he suggests, is coexisting powerful blocs (e.g., Americas, China-Asia Pacific) without major war.

Daily 7.2 Trillion KRW: Foreign Capital's Record Net Buying on Friday! Wall Street Says Headwinds for Korean Stock Fund Flows Have Subsided

South Korean stock market sees a dramatic shift in fund flows. On July 31, foreign investors made a record net purchase of approximately KRW 7.2 trillion in KOSPI stocks, marking a fundamental reversal from the persistent large-scale net outflows seen in previous months. This contributed to a significant narrowing of foreign net selling in July to KRW 9.8 trillion, down sharply from KRW 48.4 trillion in June and KRW 44.5 trillion in May. Simultaneously, domestic institutional pressure eased. South Korean pension funds and asset managers turned to a net buying position in July, purchasing KRW 1.0 trillion worth of KOSPI shares, contrasting with net sales in May and June. Market volatility is expected to be dampened by new financial regulations. Effective July 31, the Financial Services Commission tightened access for retail investors to single-stock leveraged ETFs by raising the minimum cash deposit requirement. Trading volumes for these products subsequently dropped to about 50% of their monthly average. Citigroup Research maintains its year-end KOSPI target of 10,000 points. The firm cites several supportive factors: the substantial easing of headwinds from capital outflows, a robust fundamental outlook for the semiconductor sector, historically low market valuations, strong economic fundamentals, and the potential for policy support from financial authorities if needed.

Breaking! OpenAI's Next-Gen AI Solves 10 Fields Medal-Level Problems

OpenAI's next-generation AI model Astra achieves breakthroughs in 10 long-standing mathematical conjectures. The results, including constructing the first known infinite, finitely presented non-sofic group—resolving a major question since 1999—and advancing the high-dimensional sphere packing problem beyond a 46-year-old barrier, are detailed in a 249-page paper. Key proofs have been formally verified using Lean 4. The AI also refuted a rigidity conjecture by Fields Medalist Alain Connes. According to OpenAI, generating these proofs cost under $2,000. Experts describe the findings as potentially Fields Medal-worthy and a landmark moment for both mathematics and AI, showcasing the model's ability to produce profound, human-like reasoning across diverse fields like group theory, geometry, and operator algebras.

How to Make Yourself Irreplaceable by AI Forever

This article argues that the primary threat from AI is not job replacement, but remaining trapped in "wage slavery"—financial dependence on employers. The path to becoming irreplaceable is not resisting AI, but becoming an "unemployable" individual who builds their own meaningful enterprise. The author identifies five key elements for this: Agency (acting without permission), Taste (judging what's worthwhile), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. The solution is to stop being a "pawn" in someone else's game. To start, you must fundamentally change your identity and environment, then engage in rapid, real-world trial and error. While both coding and creating media (content) are powerful, content is more crucial. AI can generate assets, but true value lies in subjective, human-driven content that builds trust and narrative. The actionable advice is to carve out 15 minutes to answer foundational questions: 1) Uncover your "raw material"—what you know deeply or solve effortlessly. 2) Define your contrarian perspective—what common beliefs you think are wrong. The intersection of these answers is your direction. Finally, you must launch by publishing your first core idea immediately, using the feedback to iterate and develop the skills needed for a self-directed life and career.

Thanks to Dice Rolls, Bitcoin Keys Are Stored Offline, But Not Everyone Will Do It

The article discusses using dice rolls to generate secure Bitcoin wallet seeds, providing entropy independent of potentially flawed hardware random number generators. It explains that each fair dice roll offers about 2.585 bits of entropy, with around 50 rolls needed for a standard 12-word seed phrase and 99+ recommended for higher security. This method gained attention after a vulnerability was revealed in some Coldcard hardware wallets, where a faulty firmware RNG (dating back to 2021) compromised generated keys. The analysis notes that while a dice-generated main seed was safe from this specific flaw, other Coldcard functions (like creating paper wallets, backup keys, or passwords) could still be vulnerable if they used the defective RNG. The piece argues that while dice-based entropy is technically robust, the manual process is error-prone, tedious, and unrealistic for most new users, who might make mistakes in recording or inputting rolls. It concludes that while manual entropy generation should remain an option for advanced users, the long-term goal is to develop reliable, user-friendly hardware and software that securely generates randomness without requiring specialized knowledge. Coldcard users are advised to check their firmware version and replace any secondary secrets (like paper wallet keys) created with vulnerable devices, while also considering multi-signature setups with devices from different manufacturers for added security.
