【Trump Sues JPMorgan for "Debanking", Claims $5 Billion】

BitPush News: On January 22 local time, former U.S. President Donald Trump officially sued JPMorgan in a Florida court, accusing the bank of "debanking" him and his companies without just cause in 2021, and seeking $5 billion in damages.

The lawsuit accuses JPMorgan of commercial defamation, breach of good faith, and alleges that its CEO Jamie Dimon violated trade laws. JPMorgan responded by calling the lawsuit "baseless," emphasizing that the account closures were due to regulatory compliance risks rather than political reasons. The bank stated it supports efforts to prevent the "weaponization" of the banking sector and will defend itself in court.

【Kansas Proposes Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill】

BitPush News: According to a disclosure by Bitcoin Archive, the state of Kansas has proposed a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill. This bill would allow up to 10% of the state's trust fund assets to be invested in Bitcoin ETFs.

If passed, Kansas would become another U.S. state promoting the inclusion of Bitcoin in its state-level asset allocation framework. Related progress is still subject to the legislative process.

【BitGo Debuts on NYSE with High Volatility, Stock Rises 36% Before Retreating】

BitPush News: Crypto asset custody company BitGo Holdings debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, with its stock experiencing significant volatility on the first day of trading. The company's Class A stock (BTGO) rose sharply after opening, surging 36% intraday to $24.50, but subsequently gave up most of its gains.

BitGo's IPO was priced at $18 per share, raising approximately $213 million, valuing the company at over $2 billion. At the close, BTGO was at $18.49, up about 2.7% for the day; in after-hours trading, the stock fell to around $18.35, nearly returning to the IPO price.

Market observers noted that the high volatility on BitGo's first day reflects significant investor interest and divergent expectations for crypto infrastructure companies. Meanwhile, peers such as Anchorage Digital and Kraken are also reportedly evaluating the possibility of launching IPOs this year.

【SpaceX Has Reached Deals with Four Banks in Preparation for "Mega IPO"】

BitPush News: According to a report by Jin10, citing the Financial Times, Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX is selecting Wall Street investment banks for a "mega" IPO, which is expected to be one of the largest IPOs in history. According to informed sources, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley have been appointed as the lead underwriters for this IPO, responsible for overseeing the listing process.

SpaceX executives have held meetings with several investment banks in recent weeks as the company prepares for a potential IPO launch as early as this year. Currently, SpaceX is conducting a secondary share sale that values the company at approximately $800 billion. The sources also mentioned that other investment banks are likely to secure underwriting roles in the listing but emphasized that the arrangements are not yet final and could change.

【Farcaster Founder Clarifies: Protocol Operating Normally, Home Purchase Funds Came from Coinbase IPO Proceeds】

BitPush News: Farcaster founder Dan Romero stated, in response to market rumors, the following clarifications:

1. Farcaster is not planning to shut down. The protocol is currently operating normally and will continue to run stably. In December last year, its monthly active users reached 250,000, with over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup planning to shift Farcaster towards a more developer-focused direction.

2. Regarding the Merkle project, we plan to return the full $180 million in raised funds to investors. Over the past five years, we have always strived to manage investor funds prudently.

3. Finally, it must be clarified that the funds for my home purchase came from the proceeds of Coinbase's Initial Public Offering (IPO).

a16z: From Companies to DAOs, DUNA May Become the Next Generation Organizational Form

This article, "From Companies to DAOs: How DUNA Could Become the Next Organizational Form," traces the 500-year evolution of business collaboration. It begins with medieval structures like the *commenda* and Florentine *compagnia*, which exposed partners to personal risk. The modern corporation, exemplified by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), was a revolutionary leap, enabling large-scale, capital-intensive ventures by offering limited liability and reducing coordination costs. However, corporations introduced new challenges like principal-agent problems and bureaucratic overhead. The piece argues that software and internet-native protocols are now reducing these traditional overheads. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) emerged as a new model for coordination without centralized management. Yet, DAOs face a significant legal vacuum: they lack legal recognition, leaving members exposed to unlimited personal liability, and their tokens are vulnerable to being classified as securities under unclear regulations (e.g., the Howey Test). This has forced projects into suboptimal workarounds like offshore foundations. The article identifies the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) as a potential solution. Recently legalized in states like Wyoming, the DUNA provides a legal wrapper for decentralized networks. It grants key protections—legal personality, limited liability, and perpetual existence—to a group without imposing a traditional hierarchical management structure. This allows token-holder communities to govern, hold assets, and contract as a single legal entity, aligning with their decentralized nature. While DUNA doesn't solve all governance challenges or magically resolve securities law questions, it represents a crucial step. It fills the legal recognition gap, offering a native legal form for internet-scale, decentralized collaboration and extending the separation of personal risk from organizational venture into a new domain.

2026 Mid-Year Report On-Chain RWA: Tokenized Stock Market Cap Doubles in a Year, But 90% of Rights Are Hollow Shells

The 2026 Mid-Year Report on On-Chain RWA highlights a significant growth in tokenized stock market capitalization, which nearly doubled from $951 million in March to $1.89 billion by July. However, the report reveals a fundamental contradiction in this "layer 2.5" ecosystem: products with the strongest legal foundation (like regulated U.S. infrastructure) lack liquidity and distribution, while freely tradable offshored wrapper products often lack substantive ownership rights. The increase is driven largely by a few products (SECZ, FGRS, STRCx) and platforms (Ondo, xStocks, Securitize collectively hold over 85% share). While distributed value across networks like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain has grown, the market remains fragmented. Products referencing the same underlying asset (e.g., Apple stock) are distinct legal liabilities with different intermediaries and jurisdictional rules, offering varying degrees of legal claim. The report cautions that headline numbers are misleading, as they reflect changes in distributed token value—driven by issuance, conversions, and price movements—not pure investor inflows. True "canonical shares" with legal ownership, wide wallet distribution, institutional liquidity, and independent on-chain price discovery do not yet exist at scale. Tokenized treasuries show stronger product-market fit, and ETFs may be easier to scale than single stocks. The core takeaway is a trade-off: legal certainty versus liquidity and composability.

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: 594 Bitcoin Withdrawn in 25 Minutes

The Coldcard hardware wallet has been compromised, with hackers stealing approximately 594.5 Bitcoin (~$40 million) from 500 addresses in just 25 minutes. The root cause was a critical software bug, undetected for five years, which disabled the device's secure chip for generating true random numbers. This led to the creation of private keys based on predictable data like the processor's serial number, drastically reducing cryptographic security. The attackers exploited this offline by brute-forcing possible seed phrases, finding active addresses on the public ledger, and signing transactions. Initially, Coinkite (Coldcard's maker) claimed only older models were at risk but later admitted all devices running the compromised firmware were vulnerable. CEO Rodolphe Novak (NVK) apologized but ruled out financial compensation for affected users. To secure funds, owners must urgently update their firmware to specific safe versions, generate a completely new seed phrase on the updated device, and transfer all assets to new addresses created with that new seed. While a BIP-39 passphrase can help, it does not replace this migration process. Other Coinkite products like TAPSIGNER were not affected. This incident underscores that even specialized hardware requires rigorous, independent code audits, especially for cryptographic functions. It parallels past failures, like a 2006 OpenSSL bug in Debian, and raises questions about whether automated code analysis can ever fully replace human scrutiny in critical security areas.
