Aster “Human vs AI” Live Trading Competition Season 1 Concludes

Aster's inaugural "Human vs AI" Live Trading Competition concluded with human trader ProMint claiming the top individual ranking. However, the collective performance of human traders resulted in a -32.22% ROI, with 43% of participants being liquidated. In contrast, all 30 AI agents completed the competition without a single liquidation, achieving a 100% survival rate and a significantly more stable aggregate ROI of -4.48%. The event highlighted AI's superior risk control and stability in volatile markets, while also demonstrating that skilled human traders can capture asymmetric opportunities through judgment and narrative awareness. Aster emphasized that the future lies in human-AI collaboration, not replacement. The next competition is set to begin on January 22nd on the Aster Chain Testnet.

Starknet TVL reclaims $300m for first time since 2024 as on-chain activity recovers

Starknet's total value locked (TVL) has rebounded to over $300 million for the first time since early 2024, signaling a recovery in on-chain activity and capital deployment after a prolonged decline. The TVL reached $302.12 million, nearing its all-time high of $307 million. This resurgence is supported by a record stablecoin market cap of approximately $248 million and an average of 65,000 daily active users, ranking Starknet fifth among Layer-2 networks. Despite trailing behind competitors like Base and Arbitrum, the network shows signs of stabilization and renewed user confidence, moving past outdated narratives and into a phase of measurable recovery.

Clash Over Stablecoin Legislation: Big Banks Vs. The Crypto Industry

The Senate Banking Committee's updated crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) has sparked a new battle over the GENIUS Act, which focuses on stablecoin regulation. Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger claims the "Big Bank lobby" is pressuring Congress to revisit settled stablecoin reward legislation to suppress competition, not due to emerging risks. She argues that big banks, controlling assets equivalent to 60% of US GDP, offer low savings yields (0.39%) compared to the Federal Funds rate (3.50%-3.75%), and lobby against technologies providing better consumer returns by invoking "systemic risk" claims. Expert Omid Malekan criticized the notion that stablecoin holders shouldn't earn yields, advocating that interest from Treasury bills should benefit average Americans rather than bank executives. He cited JPMorgan's $25 billion net interest income as evidence of banks profiting from low saver returns, dismissing concerns that interest-paying stablecoins would harm lending. Both advocate for policies prioritizing consumer choice and fair returns.

2025 Epic Showdown: Has DEX Finally Overtaken CEX?

In 2025, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) experienced unprecedented growth, with trading volume nearly quadrupling compared to previous years. This surge was particularly driven by the rise of perpetual decentralized exchanges (Perp DEXs), which saw a 176% increase in annual trading volume—exceeding the cumulative total of the previous four years. Key players like Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aster led this expansion, while established platforms like dYdX and GMX saw slower growth. The year began with Solana-based DEXs outperforming Ethereum in Q4 2024, fueled by meme coin and AI-related trading. However, Ethereum regained momentum in Q1 2025 following its Pectra upgrade and renewed investor confidence. Binance’s collaboration with PancakeSwap in Q2 significantly boosted BSC-based DEX volume, while Q3 saw intensified competition among Perp DEXs and the successful launch of Jupiter Lend, which attracted over $1 billion in deposits within days. Despite a market shake-up in Q4 due to the "10·11" liquidation event, Perp DEXs demonstrated resilience, with Aster and Lighter recovering faster than Hyperliquid. In spot trading, Uniswap maintained dominance in TVL, while Solana-based DEXs collectively reached trading volumes comparable to Uniswap. The article concludes that DEXs are not outright replacing centralized exchanges (CEXs) but are evolving alongside them. Both are integrating each other’s strengths—DEXs improving in efficiency and user experience, and CEXs adopting self-custody and on-chain transparency—suggesting a future of coexistence rather than displacement.

Polygon's $250 Million Acquisition Signals Shift in L2 Competition

Polygon Labs has announced the acquisition of cryptocurrency payment infrastructure provider Coinme and blockchain development platform Sequence for a total exceeding $250 million. The strategic move aims to bolster Polygon's stablecoin strategy and its vision for an "Open Money Stack." Coinme, a long-standing compliant crypto business in the U.S., operates a vast network of over 50,000 retail locations and holds a series of money transmitter licenses. This acquisition provides Polygon with critical off-ramp and on-ramp capabilities, enabling seamless conversion between cash, fiat, and on-chain assets like stablecoins. Sequence contributes its modular technology stack, including a smart wallet with account abstraction and a cross-chain orchestration engine called Trails. This simplifies the user experience by allowing seamless interactions across multiple chains without users needing to manage gas fees or underlying complexities. Together, these acquisitions form the foundation of Polygon's Open Money Stack, which integrates layers for fiat ramps, wallet infrastructure, cross-chain interoperability, and blockchain settlement. This reflects a broader shift in the Layer 2 competitive landscape, where success is increasingly determined by full-stack integration—combining compliant entry points with seamless user experiences—rather than just technical performance.

Who Moved the Bank's Cheese? Debunking the Five Myths of Stablecoins 'Sucking Blood' from the Banking Industry

Stablecoins do not harm the banking system; instead, they may increase U.S. bank deposits by boosting global dollar demand, as most demand comes from overseas. They also promote competition, which could pressure bank profits but not necessarily reduce credit availability. Banks, currently highly profitable, can compete by offering higher deposit rates or using excess reserves. Moreover, banks provide only about 20% of U.S. credit, with non-bank lenders likely benefiting from stablecoin-driven efficiency and lower government borrowing costs. Concerns about community banks are misplaced, as large global banks are more exposed to payment competition. Finally, allowing stablecoin yield sharing benefits savers, and restricting it unfairly subsidizes borrowers at the expense of ordinary Americans. The claims against stablecoins are largely unsubstantiated, and the industry needs clear regulation to advance.

Just 6 Days After Launching ChatGPT Health, OpenAI Is Surpassed on Its Own Medical Benchmark

In a significant development in the AI healthcare sector, Baichuan Intelligence has surpassed OpenAI's GPT-5.2 High on the HealthBench benchmark—a medical evaluation dataset created by OpenAI with input from 260+ doctors across 60 countries—just six days after OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health. Baichuan's new model, Baichuan-M3, achieved a top score of 65.1 and also led in the more challenging HealthBench Hard subset, while demonstrating the lowest hallucination rate (3.5%) without relying on external tools. Key to M3’s performance is its Fact Aware RL technique, which improves diagnostic accuracy by balancing factual precision with proactive questioning. The model avoids both over-confident errors and overly vague responses. Additionally, Baichuan introduced SCAN-bench, a new evaluation framework designed to simulate real doctor-patient interactions. In tests, M3 outperformed human specialists in areas like safety stratification, clarity, and diagnostic questioning, partly due to its ability to integrate knowledge across medical disciplines. Baichuan is now rolling out the model via its consumer product Baixiaoying (百小应), offering tailored interfaces for both doctors and patients. The company emphasizes a focus on "serious medicine," prioritizing complex areas like oncology over general wellness, aiming to augment—not just assist—medical professionals. According to CEO Wang Xiaochuan, enhancing AI’s capability in high-stakes medical scenarios is crucial for building user trust and advancing toward AGI through deeper biological understanding.

Competitors Narrow the Gap from Binance. Who Leads Among Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Competitors are closing the gap with Binance, which remains the dominant leader among cryptocurrency exchanges in 2025, according to data from WuBlockchain. While Binance continues to lead in both spot and derivatives trading volume, smaller platforms are demonstrating more significant growth. In spot trading, the total volume on major exchanges grew 8.8% to $19.1 trillion. Binance, Bybit, and Gate were the top three, with Binance's volume nearly five times that of the second-place exchange. BitMart, KuCoin, and Bitget saw the largest growth in spot volume, while Upbit and Bybit saw declines. The derivatives market grew more substantially, rising 27.8% to $62.4 trillion. Binance, OKX, and Bybit led this segment. HTX and KuCoin recorded the highest growth rates here. Despite the increase in trading activity, overall website traffic to major exchanges fell by 6.9%. HTX, KuCoin, and Crypto.com were the only platforms to see significant traffic growth. The report notes that data from CoinGecko and Similarweb may be influenced by factors like wash trading and bot activity. Notably, Russian users accounted for a significant portion of traffic, representing 31% of all visits to Bybit.

"Shelling" Google Gemini, But Apple Hasn't Given Up on Its Own Model

Apple has reportedly entered into a significant partnership with Google to integrate its Gemini AI model into Apple's ecosystem, as a "foundation" component for its future AI features, including a more personalized Siri expected later this year. The deal, estimated at around $1 billion annually, is not a direct replacement of Apple's own models but rather a strategic collaboration where Gemini will assist in training and enhancing Apple's proprietary on-device AI, with all processing occurring on Apple's private cloud servers to ensure user data privacy and isolation from Google. This move is seen as a tactical, transitional step for Apple to accelerate its AI capabilities and meet product launch timelines, especially after facing delays and setbacks with its in-house Apple Intelligence development and losing key AI talent to competitors like Meta. Despite this partnership, Apple continues its independent research and is reportedly developing its own trillion-parameter model, targeted for around 2027. The collaboration has drawn criticism, notably from Elon Musk, who raised concerns about the concentration of power with Google, which also controls Android and Chrome. For Google, the deal is a major win, boosting its market valuation, while OpenAI's existing partnership with Apple, which positions ChatGPT as a supplementary option for Siri, appears less central by comparison. The arrangement highlights Apple's pragmatic approach to bridging its AI gap while maintaining its long-term ambition for a fully independent AI system.

When Asian VCs See Crypto as 'Bullshit', a16z Has Written It into 'America's Century-Long National Destiny'

Author: Tu Ao Da Shi Xiong BroLeon While many in the industry view the cryptocurrency sector as dirty and degenerate, A16Z positions crypto as equally critical as AI in shaping America’s strategic future. The firm, which recently raised $15 billion—accounting for 18% of all U.S. venture capital—has transformed over the past three years into a strategic investment giant with $90 billion in assets under management. A16Z maintains an extensive investment portfolio in crypto, covering numerous well-known projects across various sub-sectors. Even in 2025, it completed 33 investment rounds. In contrast, crypto VCs in Asia have nearly vanished or pivoted away from early-stage investments. The article highlights that A16Z operates with a clear national strategic mission: to ensure U.S. leadership in the next century of technological competition, explicitly naming China as a rival. This aligns with its noted reluctance to invest in Chinese-founded teams. The firm has evolved beyond financial objectives to embrace strong national and ideological commitments. The author expresses a hope that crypto may one day be included in China’s Five-Year Plan.
