Введение

After years of anticipation, Pi Network is finally entering the open market on February 20, 2025, at 08:00 AM UTC (1:30 PM IST) which is 3 AM in New York (EST), 8 AM GMT in the UK, and 4 PM CST/SGT in Singapore & Beijing, marking a huge milestone for millions of users worldwide. This launch officially marks the end of the Enclosed Mainnet phase (which started in December 2021), effectively keeping Pi’s ecosystem under lock and key from external trading. Pioneers can start trading Pi now on Google, and vendors can finally expand their apps to the global stage. Expect real-world transactions, bigger adoption, and a growing ecosystem. But the biggest question remains, how much will 1 Pi be worth? Current IOU prices put it around $61–$70, though some bold predictions suggest it could hit $331.40 by March 2025. That said, market demand will decide the real value once trading starts. In less than 24 hours from now, we will know the extent to which Pi coin predictions have stood accurate, given that the speculative price range is wild (anywhere within $1 to $314,159 (the actual value of Pi). What started as a simple mobile crypto mining experiment project ended up into a full-scale crypto launch and this is indeed Pi Network’s moment of truth.

When Futu Turns into a Matchmaking Corner: Overseas Identity Becomes the Hard Currency for the Middle Class

When Futu Becomes a Matchmaking Corner: Overseas Status as the New Hard Currency for China's Middle Class Following a severe penalty announcement from Chinese regulators on May 22nd targeting offshore brokerages like Futu, its app community unexpectedly transformed into an impromptu matchmaking platform. Users posted相亲 (matchmaking) requests, explicitly seeking partners with overseas residency or citizenship, revealing a stark new reality: for China's middle class, an overseas identity has become a crucial asset. The regulatory crackdown, which restricts mainland Chinese residents from opening new accounts to buy overseas securities like US stocks, has sharply escalated the value of a foreign passport or permanent residency. This status now acts as a gateway to global asset allocation—including US equities, offshore property, and foreign currency deposits—effectively becoming a new form of "hard currency." Its scarcity, non-transferability (except through marriage, inheritance, etc.), and role as a hedge against domestic uncertainty have driven its premium. The article traces the evolution of how China's middle class views overseas resources: from an investment for opportunity (2000s), to risk diversification (2010s), and now to a mandatory "insurance policy" for financial access. With the regulatory window closing for many, the demand is shifting towards securing such status for the next generation through international education. The surreal scene of high-performing investors posting dating resumes underscores a 2026 where financial talent can be secondary to the right passport.

Understanding Bound in One Article: The "Multi-signature + Timelock" Escape Mechanism and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box

**Title**: Understanding Bound: The Escape Mechanism of "Multi-Sig + Time Lock" and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box **Summary**: Bound Exchange, evolved from the earlier radFi platform, introduces a novel approach to Bitcoin trading by combining self-custody security with exchange-like speed. Its core mechanism relies on a 2-of-2 multi-signature (multi-sig) address for user deposits. One private key is held by the user via a passkey, and the other is held by Bound. This setup requires both keys to sign any transaction, preventing Bound from unilaterally accessing user funds (non-custodial). To address the risk of Bound becoming unavailable, a 3-month timelock is integrated into the Bitcoin script. After this period, users can withdraw their assets with just their single signature, ensuring an escape hatch. For trading, Bound operates a concentrated liquidity AMM. However, as Bitcoin L1 lacks smart contracts, the AMM curve, liquidity management, and trade price calculations occur off-chain in Bound's backend database. On-chain Bitcoin transactions serve only as final settlement receipts for pre-determined amounts. This creates a centralization point: the critical sequence of trade execution—which determines the exact price along the curve for each order—is managed off-chain by Bound in a non-transparent "black box." While the 2-of-2 setup protects user本金 (principal), the pricing and ordering of trades introduce potential operational MEV risks, as the order processing is invisible and unverifiable on-chain. In practice, users can also connect external wallets (like Unisat) for fully self-custodied trading, but this requires manually signing every transaction. The platform currently supports deposits of BTC and Runes only.

Amid Internal and External Challenges, Is Ethereum's Neutral Route Still Viable?

"Ethereum is facing a dual crisis of market pressure and internal challenges. Its native token ETH is in a mid-term downtrend, with negative sentiment prevailing, weak price action, and significant outflows from ETFs. The ETH/BTC ratio has hit a ten-month low, and institutional holdings have shrunk. Concurrently, the Ethereum Foundation has seen a major exodus of core personnel following its commitment to a neutral, non-commercial development roadmap focused on censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). This stance has sparked debate. Critics, including former members, argue that the ecosystem lacks a dedicated, well-funded entity to promote ETH's commercial value and compete with rival chains. Proposals suggest creating a new, independent body to drive adoption and token value, forming a dual-model with the Foundation. While some investors view the personnel changes as normal turnover and remain bullish on Ethereum's long-term fundamentals, the immediate path forward is unclear. Analysts believe Ethereum must execute its technical roadmap (like upcoming upgrades), clarify governance, and focus on high-value sectors like DeFi and tokenization to convert its technological edge into a compelling investment thesis. The current downturn tests whether its decentralized model can adapt to balance core principles with commercial competitiveness."

Technology Has No Barriers, 24/7 Trading is the Key to Hyperliquid's Success

The article argues that Hyperliquid's competitive edge lies not in technological superiority but in its 24/7 trading model, which fundamentally challenges traditional finance's fixed market hours. Based in Singapore with an 11-person team, Hyperliquid has generated significant revenue and trading volume. Its core advantage is the ability to facilitate trading continuously, including during weekends when major exchanges like the CME are closed. This was demonstrated when Hyperliquid listed a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract on a Sunday, allowing the market to price the company hours before traditional institutions opened. This disruption has drawn regulatory scrutiny from traditional giants like CME and ICE, who cite risks like lack of KYC and market manipulation. However, the article suggests their concern stems from Hyperliquid eroding the "time monopoly" of established markets. The piece contrasts Hyperliquid's synthetic derivatives—pure price-betting contracts with no underlying asset or centralized issuer—with other models like PreStocks (dependent on real股权) and Ondo (licensed but targetable). Hyperliquid's code-based, decentralized structure makes it resilient to takedowns, even if founders face legal action. Ultimately, the author concludes that while it raises legitimate regulatory questions, Hyperliquid's "unforgeable" competitive barrier is the time advantage of non-stop trading, a feature legacy systems cannot replicate.

New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Blend into Investment Signals

"The New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Infiltrate Investment Signals In late February 2026, nine linked anonymous wallets on Polymarket placed over 80 bets on specific details of a US-Iran war, winning over $2.4 million with a 98% win rate. This exemplifies 'information laundering'—a destructive flaw inherent to prediction markets. These markets function by aggregating trader supply and demand on an order book to set prices, which represent collective probability estimates. This makes them valuable real-time sentiment indicators for institutions. However, the system cannot distinguish between public information and stolen secrets. Confidential information enters one end, and 'clean' market prices—bearing no trace of their illicit origin—emerge from the other. For example, an insider knowing of an imminent strike can buy contracts at low odds, pushing the price up and disguising the secret as a savvy market signal, then profit massively when the event occurs. Analysts can sometimes uncover these schemes due to the blockchain's transparency, as seen with Bubblemaps. Paradoxically, this same transparency can inadvertently broadcast secrets to adversarial observers, providing them with low-cost intelligence. Current laws, like insider trading regulations focused on corporate information, fail to address this issue, especially concerning events like military actions with no 'issuer.' Jurisdictional challenges are amplified as platforms operate offshore, easily bypassing national bans with VPNs. Recent US congressional investigations and proposed bills aim to ban war betting and trading on non-public information by officials. The core issue is that information laundering is not a bug but a feature: a market that perfectly converts knowledge into price will inherently reward those with the best information, including those who obtained it illicitly. As prediction markets grow, potentially reaching hundreds of billions in volume, society must confront whether it can tolerate a machine that profitably transforms its most guarded secrets into public, tradable numbers."
