Introduzione

Safe Foundation, steward of the smart account platform securing over $60 billion in assets, and Ethena Labs, the protocol behind the $6 billion+ stablecoin USDe, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration aims to boost institutional adoption and user experience for USDe within Safe’s multisig ecosystem. Key benefits include a 10x multiplier on Ethena Sats Points for Safe users holding USDe and gas-free Ethereum mainnet transactions for all USDe-related interactions. The partnership builds on strong institutional traction, as 85% of Ethena assets in Safe accounts are held in staked sUSDe, indicating significant use in treasury strategies by DAOs and institutions. Both entities emphasize Safe’s security and self-custody strengths as critical for Ethena’s growth in DeFi.

Zug, Switzerland – Blockman PR – JANUARY 13, 2026 Safe Foundation, steward of the industry-leading multisig-based smart account platform securing over $60 billion in digital assets, and Ethena Labs, the protocol behind the third-largest tokenized dollar, USDe (with over $6 billion in supply), today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate institutional adoption and enhance the user experience of Ethena’s USDe within Safe Smart Accounts and multisig ecosystem.

The collaboration signals a broader strategic initiative by Safe to move the stablecoin economy on self-custodial rails. Further, it immediately delivers two major benefits for users holding Ethena’s USDe within the Safe ecosystem:

10x Ethena Sats Points Boost: Safe accounts holding USDe will receive a 10x boost multiplier on their accrued points during the current Ethena points program, significantly increasing rewards for early adopters and treasury managers utilizing Safe.
Gas-Free Mainnet Transactions: In a massive UX unlock for multisig users, Safe will sponsor the gas fees for all Ethereum mainnet transactions made by USDe holders, making it entirely gas-free to interact with their USDe holdings from their Safe Smart Account.

Safe smart accounts currently secure over $6 billion in stablecoin assets across Ethereum mainnet. While Safe’s permissionless infrastructure already supports USDe and sUSDe, with $65.1 million in sUSDe currently secured, this partnership formalizes both companies’ commitment to positioning Safe self-custodial wallet ecosystem as the preferred platform for accessing Ethena’s products.

Institutional Traction

The partnership is built on strong existing adoption, with data indicating Safe users view Ethena’s products as a foundational treasury solution:

As of January 2025, 85% of all Ethena assets capital secured in Safe accounts on Ethereum mainnet is held in sUSDe (the staked token). This figure confirms that Safe users—primarily DAOs, protocols, and institutional entities—are utilizing Ethena in their treasury strategies.

“The stablecoin landscape is rapidly diversifying and Ethena has pioneered a fundamentally new model while delivering resilient value, deep liquidity, and proven adoption at scale. Safe is the best way to interact with USDe and the Ethena protocol giving institutional access without compromise. Safe users increasingly seek reliable options that maintain the highest level of security and self-custody” said Andre Geest, VP of Growth at Safe Foundation.

“Safe’s unmatched track record of securing over $60 billion makes it the definitive platform for USDe’s institutional trajectory. The fact that 83% of the existing Ethena capital in Safe accounts is already staked in sUSDe clearly validates the strong, professional demand for Ethena-related products in treasury management,” said Guy Young, Founder at Ethena Labs. “This alliance will accelerate the integration of USDe into the deepest layers of the DeFi economy.”

Safe serves as critical treasury infrastructure, processing over $4 billion in monthly transfers. The platform’s commitment to supporting multiple stablecoin types ensures users can continuously optimize their treasury strategies while maintaining self-custody over their most critical assets.

Qualcomm Chip Price Hike Deals a Blow to Android Phones

Qualcomm has officially announced a new round of price increases for its entire chip portfolio, effective September 1. The hikes, reaching up to 18% for the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, follow similar moves by MediaTek, intensifying cost pressures on the already strained smartphone industry. CEO Cristiano Amon confirmed the plan, citing the need to offset rising industry-wide costs and restore declining profit margins. Qualcomm's Q3 FY2026 results showed a 25% drop in net profit, with mobile revenue plunging 20% year-over-year, hitting its lowest level since 2021. The surge in AI computing demand has led memory manufacturers to prioritize HBM production, creating a shortage in general-purpose DRAM and NAND Flash chips. Their prices soared by 93%-98% and 55%-60% respectively in Q1 2026, causing the memory cost share in smartphones to jump from 10%-15% to over 30%. Coupled with the soaring cost of advanced nodes like TSMC's 2nm and packaging, overall chip costs have reached historic highs. These upstream pressures are forcing downstream smartphone brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo to cut orders for mid-to-low-end models by up to 20% and use cost-saving measures like older chipsets. Reportedly, the Snapdragon 8E5 will be repurposed as a "long-lasting" chip for sub-brand phones in H2 2026. Amid this cost crisis, the Android market remains sluggish. Q2 2026 smartphone shipments in China fell 4.3% year-over-year, marking five consecutive quarters of decline. Major Android brands saw market share drop, while Huawei and Apple, with their in-house chip advantages, gained share. Qualcomm is diversifying into automotive and IoT sectors to reduce reliance on smartphones, but these new segments cannot yet fill the mobile revenue gap. Industry observers warn that the full impact of component cost hikes will hit in the second half of 2026, likely leading to higher-than-expected price increases for Android flagships and a further contraction in the Chinese smartphone market.

Breaking: GPT-5.6 Prices Slashed Effective Today

OpenAI has announced significant price cuts for its GPT-5.6 model API, effective immediately. The entry-level **GPT-5.6 Luna** sees the most drastic reduction, with input prices dropping 80% to $0.20 per million tokens and output prices falling to $1.20 per million tokens. The mid-tier **GPT-5.6 Terra** is reduced by 20%, now costing $2.00 (input) and $12.00 (output) per million tokens. The flagship **GPT-5.6 Sol** maintains its original price but introduces a new **Fast mode**, offering speeds up to 2.5 times faster for double the cost. The company attributes these price reductions to efficiency gains achieved through **GPT-5.6 Sol's own involvement in optimizing its production systems**. The model assisted in rewriting GPU kernels and improving speculative decoding, leading to a 20% reduction in end-to-end service costs and over 15% improvement in token generation efficiency. OpenAI emphasizes this process remained human-led. A key focus of the降价 is to lower the barrier for running **AI agent workflows**. By making the capable, tool-calling Luna model significantly cheaper, OpenAI aims to enable more frequent use in cost-sensitive, high-volume tasks like code review and monitoring. This creates a potential feedback loop: model-assisted efficiency gains lead to lower costs, which enables broader agent deployment, which in turn drives further optimization. The new pricing and features will also apply to Codex and ChatGPT Work subscriptions. The changes intensify competition in the large language model market, with OpenAI directly challenging rivals like Anthropic to respond.

South Koreans' 'Gambling Nature' is Actually Forced by Life

This article explores how systemic pressures in South Korea, rather than inherent "gambling" tendencies, drive widespread speculative financial behavior. It begins by noting the high frequency of flights from South Korea to Macau, symbolizing the search for outlets beyond domestic restrictions. The core argument is that ordinary life goals—stable employment, home ownership, and financial security—have become increasingly tied to asset markets due to structural economic factors. South Korea's development model, historically reliant on corporate leverage (chaebols), has evolved into a society where household debt and personal leverage are normalized as pathways to social mobility. Key mechanisms discussed include: * **Housing Policy:** Government measures to improve affordability, like extending mortgage terms to 50 years and the unique *jeonse* (key money) rental system, embed high leverage into the housing market. * **Financial Products:** The recent approval and explosive popularity of single-stock 2x leveraged ETFs (e.g., on Samsung and SK Hynix), easily accessed via mobile apps, lowered barriers to high-risk trading. * **Social Pressure:** Media narratives around soaring corporate profits (e.g., SK Hynix) and employee bonuses create a fear of missing out, pushing individuals to use leverage to "catch up." The article concludes that this "leveraged life" is a product of institutional history and policy choices. When traditional paths to success feel constrained, and policy facilitates debt-based solutions for housing and investment, speculative behavior becomes a rational, if risky, strategy for many. The rapid cycle of regulatory approval for leveraged ETFs followed by a market crash and official apology in mid-2026 exemplifies the system's inherent contradictions. Ultimately, the "bet" is not just on assets, but on using future earnings to secure a place in the present society.

US Senators sent revised ethics rules to White House for CLARITY Act: Report

Two U.S. senators, Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Thom Tillis, have sent revised ethics guidelines to the White House concerning the cryptocurrency market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act. The changes reportedly shift enforcement of a ban on federal officials issuing or sponsoring tokens from the U.S. Attorney General to state authorities, addressing concerns from lawmakers about the initial draft. Gallego emphasized the need to strengthen provisions on ethics, consumer protection, and market integrity. The revisions aim to gain support from Senate Democrats, whose votes are needed to reach the 60-vote threshold for passage, as Republicans hold a narrow majority.

Charles Hoskinson Announces Major Cardano Update: '60 Times More...'

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano ($ADA), has announced a major upcoming update called Leios, which he claims will increase the network's performance by approximately 60 times. He emphasized Cardano's decentralized governance, stating the community can collectively decide the network's future, allocate resources, vote, and implement changes without a central authority. Hoskinson acknowledged that while Cardano is technologically stronger now than in 2024, it has lost market position, brand value, and industry respect. He pledged to take immediate steps to restore $ADA to a leading path. He expressed dissatisfaction with the ecosystem's branding, marketing, and adoption efforts but affirmed that Cardano is a resilient "marathon" project that will persist regardless of market conditions.
