Tether Scraps $20 Billion Funding Ambitions Due To Investor Opposition

Cryptocurrency giant Tether has significantly scaled back its fundraising ambitions, reducing its target from an initial $15–20 billion to potentially as low as $5 billion. This shift follows investor resistance to the company's proposed $500 billion valuation. CEO Paolo Ardoino clarified that the $500 billion figure was a maximum valuation cap, not a firm target, and noted that internal reluctance from existing shareholders to sell equity has complicated efforts to structure a larger round. Despite the fundraising challenges, Tether reported strong 2025 net profits exceeding $10 billion and continues to expand its USDT stablecoin supply, which now circulates approximately $186 billion. The company has also diversified its reserves, including significant gold purchases, and launched a new dollar-pegged stablecoin, USA₮, for the U.S. market.

South Korean Authorities Question Crypto Exchange Executives Over Lawmaker’s ‘Favoritism’ Controversy

South Korean police have summoned executives from major crypto exchanges, including Upbit's parent company Dunamu and Bithumb, as part of an investigation into allegations of favoritism by independent lawmaker Kim Byung-kee. He is accused of seeking employment for his son at these firms and then using his political position to attack Dunamu, Upbit's operator, after his son was hired at Bithumb. The investigation coincides with the Financial Services Commission's controversial proposal to impose a 15%-20% ownership cap on crypto exchange major shareholders, a move opposed by the industry and the ruling party for potentially hindering growth and conflicting with global standards.

Why XRP price stalls as ledger activity nears January 2025 peak

XRP price is currently under pressure, declining from over $2.30 to around $1.43. However, despite the downtrend, on-chain activity on the XRP Ledger is heating up. The 7-day SMA of Ledger Velocity has climbed back to 0.013, reaching levels last seen in January 2025, indicating a return to peak network intensity. Meanwhile, sentiment among XRP traders remains more constructive compared to other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Analysts suggest that if the broader market stabilizes, XRP could potentially break away and move independently. Key factors for a recovery include price stabilization and reclaiming crucial short-term resistance levels.

Public Retirement Funds Hit by Sharp Decline Amid Bitcoin Slump

Eleven major U.S. public pension funds are reporting substantial unrealized losses totaling $337 million from their investments in microcap Strategy shares, a Bitcoin-linked equity. Their combined holdings, now worth $240 million, have fallen from $577 million due to a 67% stock decline over six months. Funds from New York, Florida, Wisconsin, and several other states saw values drop approximately 60%. Strategy’s leveraged Bitcoin exposure amplified losses during the crypto market slump, demonstrating how indirect Bitcoin investments through equities can inject high volatility into retirement portfolios. This may lead to a reassessment of such high-risk proxies in pension fund management.

Retail Investors' 'Short Squeeze' Turns into 'Stampede': How a Silver Frenzy Became a Mass Grave?

The article details how a retail-driven silver squeeze, initially hailed as the "2026 GameStop," rapidly turned into a catastrophic crash, described as a "mass grave" for small investors. In January 2026, retail investors poured a record $1 billion into silver ETFs, with trading volume nearly matching that of the S&P 500 ETF at its peak. Fueled by social media hype and comparisons to the GameStop rally, silver prices soared to over $120 per ounce. However, the rally abruptly ended in just three days, with prices plummeting 40%, erasing all gains and causing significant losses. The crash was triggered not by news events, as initially speculated, but by a 50% increase in margin requirements imposed by the CME exchange. This forced over-leveraged retail investors to liquidate positions automatically, initiating a vicious cycle of selling. While散户 were forced to sell at the worst prices, institutional players like JPMorgan capitalized on the chaos. They accessed emergency liquidity from the Federal Reserve, exploited their role as authorized participants in silver ETFs to arbitrage price discrepancies, and strategically acquired physical assets at depressed prices. The piece concludes that the silver market is inherently risky and structurally skewed in favor of institutions, highlighting the vast power imbalance where retail enthusiasm and memes are no match for algorithmic trading, leverage, and rule-making authority.

Crypto VCs Pivot to AI: A 'Coming of Age' Ceremony Beginning with a Collapse of Belief

In a personal reflection, the author expresses sadness over Kyle Samani, a partner at crypto VC firm Multicoin Capital, publicly announcing his departure from the crypto industry to focus on AI, longevity tech, and robotics. Kyle was known for his thesis-driven, opinionated, and often controversial investment style—publicly criticizing Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, backing Solana early, and supporting DePIN projects like Helium. Despite mistakes (EOS, FTX exposure), he was transparent about losses and decisions. His exit feels symbolic: an honest, sharp voice leaving crypto. Before deleting the tweet, Kyle stated that crypto is primarily an asset ledger with limited use beyond finance, marking a shift from evangelist to realist—a “loss of faith” rather than just market loss. The author contrasts crypto’s current state—filled with memecoins, gambling, and technical debates—with AI’s rapid, tangible progress. Yet, they choose to stay, seeing crypto as a permissionless, open field for upward mobility and financial infrastructure innovation (e.g., stablecoins, DeFi, RWA), while remaining open to future possibilities.

How AI-Forged Group Photos Became a New Gray Market Tool Targeting Changpeng Zhao?

The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), recently exposed a fake photo circulating on X platform that depicted him alongside a user claiming to be a "long-term supporter of BNB." CZ identified multiple inconsistencies in the image, including an unfamiliar blue-purple shirt, a non-existent event backdrop, and mismatched resolution between the figures, indicating digital manipulation. The original image was in fact a photoshopped version of a legitimate photo of CZ with Aster CEO Leonard. Notably, the account sharing the fake photo, which has over 863,000 followers, had already blocked CZ. On February 4, CZ publicly dissected the image’s flaws and pointed out that the account had an inconsistent history—initially posting non-crypto content before abruptly shifting to focus on BNB-related activities. He suggested this was not a simple prank but potentially a targeted influence operation. CZ confirmed he did not know the account holder and had previously blocked the user, a decision he now considers justified. He also addressed a fabricated "legal letter" that had been circulated and expressed concern that some media outlets had reported on obviously manipulated or AI-generated content without verification. He warned that failure to identify such forgeries could lead to significant consequences.

When Silver Became a Meme Stock, Retail Investors Ultimately Caught the Falling Knife

The article details the dramatic rise and crash of silver prices in early 2026, which saw a 40% plunge in three days after retail investors, inspired by the GameStop phenomenon, poured a record $1 billion into silver ETFs. The crash was triggered not by a change in Fed leadership, as initially reported, but by the CME raising margin requirements by 50%, forcing over-leveraged retail traders into a cascade of automatic liquidations. While散户 suffered significant losses, institutional players like JPMorgan capitalized on the chaos. They accessed emergency Fed liquidity unavailable to retail, executed profitable arbitrage on the discounted SLV ETF, and strategically bought physical silver at the bottom. The piece concludes that the event highlights the structural advantages institutions hold in an asymmetric market, where散户, attempting to challenge Wall Street, ultimately became the victims of a "mass grave" they helped create.
