Morgan Stanley has filed for Bitcoin and Solana ETFs with the SEC, marking a significant expansion into the cryptocurrency market. The proposed funds, including a staking feature for the Solana Trust, aim to hold the respective cryptocurrencies and are sponsored by Morgan Stanley Investment Management.

The filings come amid growing institutional interest and regulatory clarity under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, a pro-crypto advocate. Bitcoin is currently near $93,920, while Solana has risen 14% in a week to above $142.

From a "Preemptive Bet" Trade, Understanding the Hottest Web3 Trend of 2025: Prediction Markets

In early January 2025, a significant transaction on the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket drew widespread attention. An account invested approximately $32,537 over four days betting that Venezuelan President Maduro would leave office by January 31. The bet was placed hours before related geopolitical news became public, eventually yielding over $400,000 in profit as the event's perceived likelihood surged. This incident highlights the growing influence of prediction markets—a rapidly expanding Web3 sector in 2025. Prediction markets use financial incentives to aggregate dispersed information, allowing participants to trade on event outcomes. Prices reflect collective intelligence, often outperforming traditional polls, as seen during the 2024 U.S. election. Key platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have attracted over $3.15 billion in funding, with Polymarket’s valuation reaching $8–9 billion after a strategic investment from ICE. The sector is projected to grow from $900 million in trading volume in 2024 to $40 billion in 2025, with users increasing from 4 million to 15 million. Unlike gambling, prediction markets use transparent, market-driven pricing and serve as data products for decision-making, attracting researchers and institutional players. Their growth is fueled by regulatory clarity from the CFTC, expanded event categories, and improved technology. However, risks remain, including potential insider trading and market manipulation. Participation is prohibited in mainland China. Nonetheless, prediction markets represent a shift in Web3 toward real-world information infrastructure rather than pure asset speculation.

Dialogue with BNB Chain Growth Executive Director: Why Am I Bullish on BNB's Next Decade?

Nina Rong, the newly appointed Growth Executive Director at BNB Chain, discusses the platform's future and growth strategies in an interview. She highlights the success of the recent BNB Chain hackathon in Abu Dhabi, noting the participation of non-blockchain developers—including a winning student team—as a positive signal for broader adoption. Having transitioned from Arbitrum to BNB Chain, Nina emphasizes BNB’s strengths: a strong technical team, a large and active user base, and mature infrastructure. She believes these elements form a significant barrier to entry for new Layer 1 competitors, making it difficult for them to reach BNB Chain’s scale. Nina outlines her growth strategy focused on three core user groups: retail users, institutional players, and developers. While the Chinese-speaking community remains a key strength, she plans to expand into欧美, Latin American, and Middle Eastern markets with tailored approaches—such as focusing on institutional partnerships in the U.S. and developer outreach in Latin America. She advises newcomers to Web3 to embrace a founder’s mindset, stay engaged with the market through hands-on participation, and continuously build industry knowledge. For those interested in joining BNB Chain or building on the ecosystem, she encourages direct outreach via social channels and values candidates with deep market insight and execution drive.

Polymarket Settlement Disputes Intensify, Ethereum Technical Plans Questioned: What Is the Overseas Crypto Community Discussing Today?

In the past 24 hours, the crypto community focused on several key issues. Polymarket faced significant backlash over its settlement of a prediction market related to the U.S. military action in Venezuela, which was deemed not an "invasion," sparking accusations of arbitrary rule changes and concerns over its oracle-based resolution system. Suspected insider trading emerged, as large bets were placed just hours before the event, leading to calls for restrictions on government officials using prediction markets. Berachain’s TVL plummeted over 90%, attributed to fading hype and lack of sustainable product demand. TON also saw price declines, partly linked to alleged team token sales. On the ecosystem front, Solana’s network health was questioned due to validators delaying transactions to maximize MEV extraction, threatening its real-time processing advantage. Ethereum faced internal debate over its roadmap, with critics arguing it prioritizes minimal trust over practical utility, while technical progress was noted with EIP-7805 for enhanced censorship resistance. Lighter introduced a fee-based buyback mechanism for its token, viewed positively for value capture, while Perp DEX market makers saw compressed margins. Other updates included Infinex’s burn rate clarification, Tempo’s new token standard, and MegaETH’s Coinbase listing speculation.

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi: My Top 3 Crypto Investors

Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi shares his perspective on the top three cryptocurrency investors of all time, reflecting on their impact and legacy in the highly competitive crypto VC landscape. In third place is Dan Robinson of Paradigm, praised for his hands-on, foundational contributions to major crypto projects like Uniswap V3, Flashbots, and Optimism. Qureshi describes him as a polymath and value-creator on par with traditional VC legends. Second is Chris Dixon of a16z, recognized as a crypto pioneer who legitimized the industry and brought institutional capital and narrative clarity to the space. His early bets on Coinbase and Uniswap were both visionary and counter-consensus at the time. Topping the list is Kyle Samani of Multicoin Capital, whom Qureshi acknowledges as a truly contrarian investor. Despite often disagreeing with him, Qureshi credits Samani’s conviction in Solana—through its seed investment and through the FTX collapse—as the single best trade in crypto VC history, embodying the power law nature of venture returns. Qureshi concludes by honoring all three for their roles in shaping the industry and driving it forward through multiple cycles, acknowledging that though he competes with them, he has learned from each and respects their contributions deeply.

U.S. SEC Receives Bitcoin and Solana ETF Proposals From Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley, a major Wall Street financial firm, has filed with the U.S. SEC to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs. The proposed funds would directly hold the underlying cryptocurrencies, providing investors with regulated exposure through traditional investment channels. This move expands Morgan Stanley’s earlier efforts to broaden crypto access beyond high-net-worth clients to include retirement and standard investment accounts. The filing signals growing institutional competition in the digital asset ETF space, following similar products from firms like BlackRock and Fidelity. If approved, these ETFs would offer a compliant and liquid way for mainstream investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin and Solana.

How SWIFT Could End Up Working With XRP For Global Payments

Cryptocurrency analyst SMQKE suggests that SWIFT could eventually adopt XRP for global payments as regulatory clarity improves. He references former SWIFT CEO Gottfried Leibbrandt's past concerns about crypto due to regulatory uncertainty, noting the environment has since evolved. SWIFT has already taken steps toward crypto integration by partnering with Consensys to develop a distributed ledger for faster, cheaper cross-border transactions, seen as competition for Ripple. However, SWIFT may still utilize existing crypto assets like XRP rather than issuing its own token. The connection between Ripple and SWIFT is highlighted through Ripple-owned GTreasury's participation in SWIFT's partner program. Ripple's recent conditional approval to operate as a national trust bank could further deepen this relationship, potentially paving the way for XRP integration into SWIFT's system. XRP's price was up over 12% at the time of writing.

Farewell to the Era of Chaos: How Are Crypto Market Makers Completing Their 'Rite of Passage'?

This article explores the maturation of cryptocurrency market makers, moving from a "wild west" era of grey arbitrage and information asymmetry to a highly institutionalized and regulated industry. Key shifts include the prioritization of compliance, risk management, and technical infrastructure over aggressive tactics. Profit margins have significantly decreased as project funding for market making has dropped by up to 50%, while demands for transparency and quantifiable results have increased. The role of market makers has evolved from pure liquidity providers to hybrid entities acting as secondary market investors, risk managers, and infrastructure partners. The industry is fragmenting into specialized areas like on-chain market making, derivatives, and tokenized stocks, each with distinct challenges and barriers to entry. Survival now depends on robust systems, strict risk controls, and deep institutional trust rather than bold speculation. The 2025 market crash exemplified how inadequate risk management leads to rapid淘汰. Ultimately, the most successful market makers are those that are systematic, compliant, and resilient—signaling the sector's transition into a disciplined, essential component of the crypto financial ecosystem.
