Virtual Currency Exchange Charged with Operating a Gambling Den: How Can Lawyers Successfully Defend HR, BD, and Other Positions? (Including a 10,000-Word Legal Opinion)

English Summary: This article by lawyer Shao Shiwei addresses the increasing criminal prosecution of virtual currency exchanges in China for operating gambling establishments, specifically focusing on defenses for employees in roles like HR and BD. The author, drawing from cases in late 2025 and ongoing into 2026, highlights the complexity of these cases, which blend legal, policy, and social considerations rather than being purely legal matters. The core defense strategy proposed is to pursue an "innocence defense" to achieve practical outcomes like reduced sentences, probation, or non-prosecution. This involves rigorously arguing that the case is not a traditional gambling operation, particularly challenging the classification of financial products like "perpetual contracts" as gambling. It also emphasizes the lack of subjective intent for employees in technical, operational, or support roles who couldn't reasonably foresee their work being deemed criminal. The defense "combination punch" includes combining in-court and out-of-court strategies, meticulous cross-examination of evidence (especially forensic and audit reports), identifying gaps in the prosecution's case against legal standards, and focusing on procedural details to argue insufficient evidence. A key risk warning is extended to all Web3 professionals in China—including developers, designers, HR, BD, and客服—who may face criminal investigation if their platform is targeted, urging careful risk assessment before employment. The article concludes by questioning whether perpetual contracts constitute gambling, stressing the need for case-specific analysis and that the prosecution bears the burden of proof. It includes excerpts from a defense document for reference) and disclaims providing specific legal advice.

Stop Obsessing Over Alpha, the Market's Beta Is More Important

The article argues that while generating alpha (outperforming the market) is a common goal for investors, the overall market return (beta) is often more critical for long-term success. Using a hypothetical example, it illustrates how a skilled investor (Alex) with consistent alpha can underperform a less skilled investor (Pat) if Pat invests during a stronger market period. Historical data shows that even with significant alpha, there's a substantial probability of underperforming a simple index fund over long periods. The core message is that market performance, which is outside an investor's control, is a more powerful driver of returns than individual skill. Therefore, investors should relieve themselves of the pressure to beat the market and instead focus on optimizing factors they can control: their career, savings rate, health, and family. These areas offer a greater potential for lifetime value than chasing marginal investment alpha. The conclusion is to embrace market beta and redirect energy toward more impactful life decisions.

Stellar [XLM] hits a critical $0.261 wall – Breakout or rejection ahead?

Stellar (XLM) is showing early signs of renewed momentum after months of consolidation, with a 7% price increase testing the critical $0.261 resistance level. This supply zone has historically triggered rejections, but a breakout could signal a trend shift and end the consolidation phase. Derivative data supports a bullish outlook, with long positions significantly outweighing shorts, reflecting strong buyer dominance. Liquidity clusters above the current price level further support potential upward movement. A decisive break above $0.261 may lead to a sustained bullish run, while failure could result in increased volatility.

Bitcoin ‘Record’ LTH Selling Inflated By Exchange Transfers, CryptoQuant Head Says

CryptoQuant's head of research, Julio Moreno, clarifies that the recent record-high Bitcoin long-term holder (LTH) selling was significantly inflated by internal exchange transfers. While the 30-day LTH spending reached 1.55 million BTC in November, approximately 0.65 million BTC of that was due to internal wallet movements within Coinbase, not actual economic selling. After adjusting for these transactions, the adjusted LTH distribution peaked at 0.9 million BTC, making it the fifth highest on record rather than a new all-time high. This pattern of internal transfers exaggerating LTH selling has occurred before, notably in December 2018. Despite the selloff, Bitcoin's price remained strong at around $93,800, up 7% over the past week.

Ethereum vs Solana: Who Really Won 2025 Across DeFi, Users, and Institutions

In 2025, Ethereum and Solana demonstrated distinct strengths. Ethereum led in institutional adoption, DeFi TVL (nearly $99 billion), and stablecoin settlements ($18.8 trillion), supported by its Layer 2 ecosystem which improved throughput and reduced fees. Solana excelled in user growth, adding 725 million new wallets, and dominated trading volume with $1.5 trillion in DEX volume and $2.39 billion in app revenue. It also processed 33 billion non-vote transactions with very low fees. While Ethereum maintained deeper financial integration with over $35 billion in ETF reserves, Solana closed the gap rapidly with high retail engagement and diversification into new assets. Overall, Ethereum edged ahead due to institutional depth, but Solana’s scale and activity growth were remarkable.

Crypto Payment Cards in 2025: 40k Monthly Active Users, Less Than $100 Average Spend Per User

In 2025, crypto payment cards transitioned from niche experimentation to practical adoption, showing exponential growth in deposits and spending. Monthly active users reached 40,000 by October 2025, with average spending under $100 per user, indicating use for small daily transactions rather than speculative purchases. Stablecoins, primarily USDT and USDC, dominated deposits (nearly 100%), reinforcing a debit-like, low-volatility spending model. The @Rain card series led in usage, supported by its role as infrastructure for multiple card projects. Ethereum and Polygon remained top chains for deposits, though multi-chain usage grew due to lower costs and improved routing. Key challenges include privacy risks from on-chain traceability, reliance on centralized service partners, and limited product differentiation. Looking to 2026, growth is expected to focus on economic sustainability, potential credit-based models, and profitability beyond user acquisition.

2025 Blockchain Financing Overview: Who Pocketed Over $20 Billion?

In 2025, the blockchain sector saw a significant shift in venture capital trends, with $23.7 billion invested across 839 deals—marking a 33.6% drop in deal count but a substantial increase in total funding compared to 2024. Capital moved from broad investments to focused, high-quality targets. Centralized Finance (CeFi) dominated with $11.2 billion raised, driven by mega-deals like Binance's $2 billion raise and Coinbase's $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit. Infrastructure and tools remained robust with $4.9 billion across 243 deals, while DeFi secured $1.75 billion. Web3 gaming experienced a sharp decline, with funding and deals falling over 60%. AI and blockchain integration grew steadily, raising $884 million. Prediction markets, led by Polymarket and Kalshi, attracted $3.56 billion. The trend emphasized larger, strategic investments over quantity, with family offices and major funds leading capital deployment.

Chasing Beta, Letting Go of Alpha: The Harsh Conclusion from a Century of U.S. Stock Market Data

Based on an analysis of 100 years of U.S. stock market data, this article argues that investors should prioritize market returns (Beta) over the pursuit of outperforming the market (Alpha). The author illustrates that even a skilled investor generating significant Alpha can underperform a simple index fund if their investment period coincides with a weak market cycle. For example, an investor with a +5% annual Alpha from 1960-1980 would have achieved lower real returns than a poor investor with a -5% Alpha who invested during the strong 1980-2000 bull market. Historical data shows that even with a 3% annual advantage, an active investor still had a 25% probability of underperforming the index over 20-year periods. The core conclusion is that market performance (Beta) is a far more critical determinant of ultimate returns than investment skill (Alpha). Since investors cannot control market cycles, the article suggests this is actually liberating. It allows individuals to redirect their energy away from the futile pressure to "beat the market" and toward factors they can control: optimizing their career, savings rate, health, and family. The potential financial and personal gains from excelling in these areas are argued to be vastly more significant than the marginal benefits of seeking Alpha. The advice for 2026 is to "chase Beta, not Alpha."

"Assets Dormant for Three Years" Will Be Confiscated? The Truth About California's New Bill SB 822 Explained

A new California law, SB 822, which takes effect in 2026, has caused concern in the crypto community over fears that inactive exchange accounts could be "confiscated." However, this is a misunderstanding. The law extends the state’s existing Unclaimed Property Law (UPL) to digital assets held on centralized exchanges. Key points: - Assets are considered "unclaimed" only if there has no owner activity for three years AND the exchange is unable to contact the owner. - "Owner activity" is broadly defined and includes logging in, trading, or even just responding to an email, which resets the three-year timer. - Exchanges must send a prominent warning notice 6-12 months before reporting assets to the state. A simple response stops the process. - Crucially, transferred assets are NOT immediately liquidated. The state must hold the original crypto for 18-20 months, allowing owners to reclaim their exact tokens. Only after that may assets be sold for cash. - The law only applies to assets held on centralized exchanges (the "holder"). Self-custodied wallets, like cold wallets or DeFi LP tokens, are completely exempt. - Owners can always claim their property from the state, even years later, though they may receive cash instead of crypto if it was already sold. The article advises users to perform a simple activity (e.g., logging in) annually to keep accounts active or move large holdings to self-custody to avoid the law entirely. It concludes that SB 822, while intrusive, provides a legal safety net that protects user assets from being lost or misappropriated by failed exchanges.

Bitmine’s $14B Ethereum empire – Is one company quietly taking over ETH?

Bitmine is building a massive Ethereum treasury, holding 4.14 million ETH worth $14.2 billion, which represents 3.43% of all ETH. This makes it one of the most influential holders of Ethereum. Chairman Tom Lee announced the company continues to aggressively accumulate ETH, recently purchasing nearly 33,000 ETH in a single week. Bitmine is also seeking shareholder approval to increase authorized shares to launch its Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN), a staking solution set to deploy in early 2026. With only a portion of its ETH currently staked, the company is positioning itself as the world's premier Ethereum treasury, similar to how MicroStrategy operates with Bitcoin.
