Brother Sun and CZ Jointly Endorse, New Stablecoin United Stables (U) Emerges

New stablecoin United Stables (U) has been launched on multiple exchanges including Binance, Gate, and BitMart, with HTX listing it earlier on December 18 alongside a 20% APY earnings campaign. Positioned as a next-generation stablecoin for trading, payments, wealth management, and AI-native ecosystems, U aggregates liquidity across different chains and assets. It is currently issued on BNB Chain and Ethereum, with a total supply of 409 million tokens. The project gained significant attention due to public support from two major industry figures: CZ (Binance founder) and Justin Sun. Both followed United Stables’ official X account, and CZ referred to U as a “second-generation stablecoin” during an AMA. Sun promoted U through a livestream and offered financial incentives via HTX. United Stables is backed 1:1 by a mix of USD and major audited stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and USD1. It features real-time Proof of Reserves (PoR) and monthly audits. The token is fully integrated into the BSC ecosystem, supported by DeFi protocols such as PancakeSwap and wallets like Trust Wallet and SafePal. The coin is also linked to Athena Y, a co-founder who previously served as Executive Director of the Binance Charity Foundation.

BlackRock Moves $339M in Bitcoin as Traders Brace for ‘Massive’ Sell-Off — What Does It Mean for Price?

BlackRock transferred 3,743 Bitcoin (worth approximately $339 million) and 7,204 Ethereum (worth about $22 million) to Coinbase Prime, raising concerns among traders about a potential large-scale sell-off. The move, observed via blockchain data, originated from wallets linked to BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. While such transfers don’t always indicate an immediate sale, they often precede increased market volatility. Market reactions were mixed, with some traders expressing alarm and others cautioning that the transfer might not lead to selling. In a recent interview, BlackRock’s head of ETFs, Jay Jacobs, stated that Bitcoin ETFs are still in their "early days," with many investors still in the learning phase. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading around $92,000, stuck in a consolidation range between approximately $85,600 and $93,700. Analysts suggest the market lacks clear directional momentum and may continue fluctuating sideways until new liquidity enters.

Bank of Italy Warns ETH Price Crash Could Disrupt Ethereum Network

A Bank of Italy study warns that a severe crash in Ethereum's price could cause the entire network to fail, potentially freezing over $800 billion in assets, including stablecoins and tokenized bonds. The risk stems from Ethereum’s validator-based economy: if ETH’s value drops too low, validators may stop processing transactions due to unprofitable operations, halting the network’s ability to finalize transactions. This would render all on-chain assets immovable, even if they are inherently trustworthy. Additionally, a lower ETH price makes the network cheaper to attack, as the cost to manipulate transactions decreases significantly. In such a crisis, moving assets off-chain would be difficult due to fragile bridges and locked DeFi apps, with no central authority to intervene. The report emphasizes that since real financial assets are built on Ethereum, a crypto crash could spill over into traditional finance, and may lead regulators to require backup systems and external record-keeping.

TKF Report Highlights Uncollected TDS in India from Offshore VDA Trading

A TKF Report titled "Taxation of Digital Assets in India" highlights significant uncollected TDS from offshore cryptocurrency exchange platforms, estimated at approximately ₹11,000 crore since July 2022. Of this, ₹4,877 crore pertains to the last year alone, indicating a major shift of Indian trading activity beyond the nation’s taxation framework. The Bharat Web3 Association shared the report, emphasizing that regulatory arbitrage and uneven enforcement are causing sustained revenue leakage. In contrast, the Indian government collected ₹158 crore in FY22-23, ₹180 crore in FY23-24, and around ₹450 crore in FY24-25 from domestic platforms. CoinDCX CEO Sumit Gupta previously suggested key policy changes, including reducing TDS to 0.01%, aligning capital gains tax with income slabs, and allowing loss offsetting to encourage onshore platform usage and ensure tax equity.

Bitcoin: Why institutions, not retail, will decide BTC’s next move

Bitcoin's price has consolidated above $90,000, with a decisive break above $92,500 still pending. According to Bitwise analysis, the primary constraint on Bitcoin's upward movement is weak institutional demand, not retail behavior or long-term holder selling. Institutional investors, sensitive to macroeconomic conditions, have shown caution, reflected in significant outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs—totaling $4.66 billion since November 2025. However, improving U.S. unemployment data (down to 4.4%) may boost economic confidence and risk appetite, potentially renewing institutional interest. While corporate Bitcoin reserves grew slightly, retail netflows have recently turned negative, indicating short-term selling pressure. Ultimately, institutional demand remains the key driver for Bitcoin's next major price move.

Coin Stock Barometer丨Strategy Invested $1.25 Billion Last Week to Add 13,627 BTC, Total Holdings Unrealized Profit Exceeds $10.55 Billion; Bitmine Holdings Increase to 4.168 Million ETH, Unrealized Loss of $3.225 Billion (January 13)

Crypto Market Weekly Roundup: Strategy Invests $1.25B in Bitcoin, BitMine Expands ETH Holdings Last week saw traditional equities and precious metals rally, while crypto-linked stocks remained subdued with only a few like BKKT and RIOT posting gains. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) invested $1.25 billion to acquire 13,627 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC. With an average cost of $75,353, its unrealized profit now exceeds $10.55 billion. Institutional analysis suggests digital assets are transitioning from speculative instruments to financial infrastructure in 2026, driven by clearer stablecoin regulations and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. South Korea lifted its nine-year ban on corporate crypto investments, now allowing listed firms to allocate up to 5% of net assets to top cryptocurrencies. On the Ethereum front, BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 24,266 tokens, bringing its total to 4.167 million ETH. However, its position shows an unrealized loss of $3.225 billion with an average cost of $3,862. The company's chairman urged shareholders to approve a proposal to authorize more shares to prevent a slowdown in its ETH accumulation strategy. Other notable moves include Bit Digital holding over 155,000 ETH, ALT5 Sigma maintaining its WLFI token treasury, Bakkt acquiring stablecoin infrastructure firm DTR, and AIxCrypto planning a $10 million strategic investment in Faraday Future.

Polygon hits 3.9B transactions in 2026 – Are POL traders ‘READY’ for…

Polygon's network activity surged in early 2026, reaching 3.9 billion transactions, largely fueled by a significant increase in micropayments totaling $67.7 million. This growth reflects broader adoption, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi), and underscores Polygon’s role as a leading Ethereum scaling solution. Following a cryptic tweet from Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal on January 10th, which sparked speculation and anticipation, taker buy dominance rose sharply, indicating aggressive buying pressure. At the time of writing, POL was trading around $0.15 and testing a key long-term resistance level. While the RSI suggested potential short-term consolidation, the MACD supported continued bullish momentum. Traders awaited a decisive breakout to confirm a broader trend shift.

It plans to list on the NYSE under the ticker "BTGO," joining other major crypto firms entering public markets.

Is the Crypto Market Doomed to Face Pressure in Q1? Progress of the CLARITY Act Becomes a Key Factor

The CLARITY Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on May 29, 2025, aims to provide regulatory clarity for the digital asset market. It is currently stalled in the Senate after being received and referred to committee. Market participants are concerned that without significant progress in Q1, the bill faces increasing obstacles. Key reasons include the limited legislative window in the Senate from January to March, which is typically reserved for complex, non-urgent bills like CLARITY. If no substantive committee action occurs in January, the bill risks being sidelined by the legislative schedule. The Act is not a minor policy adjustment but a restructuring of regulatory authority, making it slow-moving, highly amendable, and prone to delays rather than outright rejection. If delayed until after the midterm elections, its prospects become even more uncertain due to potential shifts in Congressional power. Should Democrats gain influence post-election, the bill’s chances would likely decrease. Democratic leadership generally favors broader SEC authority, regulatory flexibility, and is hesitant to limit enforcement discretion—contrary to CLARITY’s goal of defining regulatory boundaries and reducing regulation by enforcement. In a Democrat-led Senate, the bill could be substantially rewritten, broken into smaller pieces, or indefinitely postponed. These factors explain the anxiety among U.S. crypto stakeholders and contribute to current market pessimism.
