**Title: Early Traders Made Huge Gains? Understanding Genius' New Rules** Genius, a highly discussed DEX, announced new GP points rules for its Season 1, ending April 12, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation. The team confirmed that GP points earned from early trading volume remain valid, benefiting users who followed initial interaction guides. Key updates: - Total S1 GP points are fixed at 200 million, with 75 million already distributed from pre-whitepaper trading. The remaining 125 million will be distributed weekly starting January 20, at 10 million GP per week. - Distribution is weighted to prevent whales from dominating, allowing smaller traders to earn points. - Stablecoin swaps (e.g., USDT/USDC) now have a 0.5x weight; other spot trades retain 1.0x. - Previous task-based and referral GP rewards were removed. Now, points are earned solely via spot trading volume. - New trading tiers introduce fee discounts based on cumulative trading volume, though zero-fee trading remains active indefinitely. - Referrals now offer 35% commission on invitees’ trading fees post-zero-fee campaign. - The GENIUS token will be created before April 12, 2026, with a TGE expected randomly before then. Despite platform bugs from high traffic, Genius’ strong backing (including investment from YZi Labs and CZ as advisor) and confirmed TGE make it noteworthy. With a potential $300M FDV and 10% airdrop, each GP point could be worth ~$0.15. Early participants may have profitable opportuniti...

Yesterday, Genius, a DEX that has been highly discussed recently, announced new point rules on platform X: Season 1 will end on April 12, with an additional 50% airdrop quota.

Notably, the Genius team stated that the GP points earned from trading volume have been retained. Congratulations to those who participated early through the point-earning guide shared by Odaily Planet Daily (click here to jump to the article: YZi Labs Invests Tens of Millions, CZ as Advisor—How to Earn Genius Points?). These users may have already "made a fortune" in GP points (platform website: https://www.tradegenius.com/).

Early users "aggressively" traded to earn massive GP points from volume

Below, Odaily Planet Daily explains Genius's new GP point rules to help users better participate in platform interactions and earn GP points.

Season 1 Total of 200 Million GP Points, 125 Million GP Points Still to Be Distributed

The community had many questions about GP point distribution. This time, the official emphasized that Season 1 has a total of 200 million GP points, with no additional issuance. The specific distribution is as follows:

  • 75 million GP points have been distributed, which are the trading points earned by users before the platform updated the whitepaper. GP points from referral rewards have been reclaimed;
  • 125 million GP points are still to be distributed, including 5 million GP points from the wheel-of-fortune reward. Referral reward points and trading task points have been canceled.

The remaining 125 million GP points will be distributed starting at 5:00 AM UTC+8 today (January 20), with 10 million GP points distributed every weekend. Additionally, points are allocated using a weighted distribution to ensure that whale traders do not monopolize all GP releases, allowing smaller traders to also receive GP allocations.

Notably, the trading volume weight for stablecoin USDT to USDC conversions has been adjusted to 0.5x, while the weight for other spot trading volumes remains 1.0x.

Other Changes in the New Rules

As explained by the team members in the official Telegram, on one hand, all previous GP task points (trading tasks + referral tasks) have been cleared; on the other hand, under the new rules, GP points can only be earned through spot trading volume.

Official explanation of the new rules

New Trading Tiers

The new trading tier divisions and fee discounts are as follows:

  • Level 1—Smart: Cumulative trading volume of $100,000, trading fee 0.3%;
  • Level 2—Ultra Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $1 million, trading fee 0.2%;
  • Level 3—Mastermind: Cumulative trading volume of $10 million, trading fee 0.1%;
  • Level 4—Mogger Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $100 million, trading fee 0.05%.

The current zero-fee trading promotion's end date has not been announced.

Referral Rewards

Referring friends for trading no longer earns GP points, but after the zero-fee promotion ends, users can earn a 35% commission from the trading fees of invited friends.

For example, if an invited user's trading fee tier is 0.2%, the rebate earned would be 0.07% (35% * 0.2%).

GENIUS Token to Be Created Before April 12, 2026

According to the documentation, the GENIUS token will be created before the end of Season 1. Therefore, TGE will occur randomly between now and April 12.

Platform Has Many Bugs, But Strong Funding Background and Confirmed TGE Make It Worth Attention

Since its launch a few days ago, Genius has been overloaded due to a large influx of studios, resulting in frequent bugs. Although the team has been working to resolve issues, some functions still have problems and cannot fully satisfy users. As of now, referral points and trading tasks have not been fully removed, and the wheel-of-fortune reward is still under maintenance.

With the new rules update, TGE will occur before April 12, significantly increasing the certainty of earning from Genius. With only 200 million GP points distributed before TGE, GP points will be particularly "valuable," and the cost of earning them will only increase. KOL Nathan stated, "With tens of millions in investment, the FDV should be around $300–500 million. Congratulations to those who got on board early, earning 37.5% of the total airdrop in just 3 days." Based on the data below, with a $300 million FDV and a 10% airdrop allocation, each point would be worth $0.15.

Genius Point Value Estimation

Perhaps it is still worth interacting now, while trading fees are still zero and the new rules have just been launched.

Bitcoin Falls To $61,300 As Mt. Gox Moves BTC, Raising Selloff Concerns

Bitcoin fell to around $61,300 as markets reacted to Mt. Gox moving funds, raising selloff concerns. The defunct exchange transferred 116.3 BTC (worth ~$8.16 million) directly to Bitstamp, following a larger earlier move of 10,422.65 BTC (~$739 million) to a new wallet. The trustee is working towards the final creditor repayment deadline of October 31, 2026. While most eligible creditors have been repaid, roughly 24,081 BTC (~$1.55 billion) remains under Mt. Gox control, and its on-chain movements are closely watched for potential market pressure. Bitcoin later recovered above $64,000.

The Allocation Value of Gold as 'Financial Insurance' Against US Debt Crisis and High Yields

This report analyzes gold's role as "financial insurance" amid high US bond yields and escalating debt concerns. Gold prices surged from ~$2,624 in early 2025 to a record high of $5,589 by January 2026, driven by five key factors: 1) Unsustainable US fiscal trajectory and debt exceeding $39 trillion, 2) Accelerating de-dollarization and central bank gold purchases (e.g., China added 8 tons in April 2026), 3) Geopolitical tensions and energy-driven inflation from the Iran conflict, 4) Record-high investment demand via ETFs, and 5) Policy uncertainty under the new Fed Chair. Gold's price is inversely related to real interest rates and the US dollar. Investors can gain exposure through physical gold, ETFs like GLD/IAU (low-cost), or mining ETFs like GDX (higher risk/return). Key risks include rising real rates, a stronger dollar, easing geopolitical tensions, and potential overvaluation after the sharp rally. The report recommends a 5-10% portfolio allocation for diversification, viewing gold as a hedge against fiscal instability and systemic risk rather than a growth investment.

"Unlimited Money Printing" Bug Lurked for Four Years, Privacy Coin ZEC Plummets 50% in One Day

A critical "unlimited, undetectable counterfeit" vulnerability existed for nearly four years in the Orchard privacy pool of Zcash (ZEC), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. The bug, which could theoretically allow attackers to create unlimited fake ZEC, was disclosed by founder Zooko Wilcox on June 5th. While officially patched and deemed low-probability for exploitation, the news triggered a market panic. ZEC's price plummeted over 50% in a single day. The core crisis stems from the inability to prove whether any counterfeit ZEC was created during the vulnerability's active period, as Orchard's design inherently hides transaction details. This casts severe doubt on ZEC's total supply integrity. The sell-off accelerated after prominent investor and ZEC narrative supporter Arthur Hayes announced he had sold his entire position, citing the inability to cryptographically prove the impossibility of extra minting. Community trust eroded further upon learning the bug was discovered with AI-assisted auditing, raising questions about Zcash's development and security review processes. The incident has evolved from a price correction into a fundamental crisis of confidence regarding the network's core security promises.

Bitcoin's 'Rally Ends,' Officially Entering the Later Stage of a Bear Market?

Bitcoin prices declined 13% this week, reversing the recent rebound and signaling a likely transition into the later stages of a bear market. Key on-chain metrics deteriorated, with the short-term holder cost basis falling below the Realized Price—a pattern last seen in early 2022, characteristic of bear market maturity. The rally to ~$82k proved to be a bear market bounce, as evidenced by the 90-day realized profit/loss ratio failing to sustain above the bullish threshold of 2. Daily realized losses surged to $1.35B, including significant selling from long-term holders who accumulated near cycle tops, indicating ongoing supply redistribution. Price was rejected almost precisely at the aggregate US spot ETF cost basis of ~$83k, turning that level into resistance and leaving the average ETF investor underwater again. Spot market selling pressure intensified, with the 7-day volume delta turning significantly negative to its weakest level since February. While a major long liquidation event cleared over $400M in leverage, spot demand has not yet stepped in to absorb the resulting supply. Options markets continue pricing in higher future volatility (elevated volatility risk premium) and maintain a skew toward put options, reflecting persistent demand for downside protection, though not yet panic. Overall, market structure remains fragile. Sustained recovery likely requires a reclaim of the ETF cost basis, a shift back to positive spot demand, and a slowdown in realized loss-taking. Until then, the market risks further downside or extended consolidation within the broader bear trend.

How Risky is the "Death Spiral" of MSTR and STRC?

Summary: This article explores the perceived "death spiral" risk between MicroStrategy (MSTR), its Bitcoin holdings, and its perpetual preferred stock (STRC), drawing comparisons to the LUNA-UST collapse. While both systems feature price anchors, high yields for holders, and potential feedback loops, their core mechanisms differ fundamentally. The MSTR-STRC structure relies on continuous financing to sustain its high dividend payouts, primarily through stock ATM offerings. A negative feedback cycle could occur: falling MSTR stock price makes raising equity capital harder, increasing pressure to sell Bitcoin, which undermines STRC confidence and further depresses MSTR. However, unlike LUNA-UST's automated, direct linkage, the MSTR-STRC loop is weaker and has brakes: STRC dividends can be deferred or rates lowered, and STRC holders have a $100/share liquidation preference in bankruptcy, providing a price floor. The company's sustainability hinges on its ability to continue financing. Its current ~$900 million USD reserves cover only about 6.3 months of its ~$1.71 billion annual interest/dividend burden. The next six months are critical, aligning with both the potential bottom in Bitcoin's four-year cycle and the depletion timeline of its reserves. While a LUNA-style catastrophic collapse is deemed highly unlikely due to structural differences, the key question is whether MicroStrategy can navigate this period through healthy deleveraging to restart its capital engine.
