HashKey Supports Nighttime Currency Exchange, Becoming First Licensed Exchange to Fully Enable 24/7 Fiat Conversion

Hong Kong's licensed virtual asset exchange platform, HashKey Exchange, has announced the launch of overnight USD-HKD currency exchange services, making it the first licensed platform in Hong Kong to offer round-the-clock fiat currency conversion for both retail and institutional clients. This upgrade allows users to enjoy near-native crypto market liquidity at any time of day. Previously, currency exchanges were limited to banking hours, restricting institutions from hedging overnight and individuals from transferring funds promptly. With the new service, HashKey will process conversion requests outside regular banking hours, enabling seamless transactions without delays. As a licensed platform, all funds used in overnight exchanges are fully segregated from operational funds and monitored in real-time to ensure security. The move enhances Hong Kong’s digital finance infrastructure, providing both institutional and retail users with continuous, regulated, and reliable conversion services. Randall Chan, Managing Director of HashKey Exchange, stated that fiat liquidity has been a major barrier for institutional entry into digital assets. Overnight conversion reduces time constraints for hedging, transfers, and settlements, allowing secure capital flow at all hours. The platform aims to further integrate trading, deposits/withdrawals, custody, and settlement into a comprehensive liquidity infrastructure.

PANews Crypto Year-End Review: Did Your 2025 Airdrop Harvesting Score Pass?

PANews Year-End Crypto Review: Was Your 2025 Airdrop Farming Performance Up to Standard? Looking back at 2025, more and more participants have had to admit that the returns from airdrop farming this year were far from ideal. While there was no shortage of projects and participation remained high, very few stood out as clear successes—shrinking airdrops, token launches hitting peak prices immediately, and insufficient liquidity support have become the norm. What was once considered a low-risk "consensus dividend" has now turned into a highly competitive screening mechanism. As the easy gains fade, the underlying issues have become clearer: Should participants continue engaging indiscriminately, or is it time to reassess their investment of time, risk exposure, and expected returns?

VC "Dead"? No, the Industry is Undergoing a Brutal Shakeout

The article addresses the prevailing sentiment that "VC is dead" in the crypto industry, arguing that while some venture capital firms have indeed failed, the sector as a whole is not dying but undergoing a severe shakeout. The author, a former VC investor, states that many Asian VCs have been hit hardest, with top firms shutting down or scaling back significantly. Even second- and third-tier Western VCs are now facing similar challenges, marked by reduced investment pace and difficulty in exiting portfolios. This downturn is seen as a delayed effect of the 2022 market collapse, exacerbated by broken four-year cycle expectations, overvalued deals, and extended token lockups that strain returns. However, the piece contends that VCs won’t disappear entirely. They remain essential for funding early-stage projects and supporting innovation. Well-vetted VC backing has been behind nearly all major successful crypto projects, and quality ventures continue to attract interest. The industry is moving toward a maturity phase with higher barriers to entry—akin to Web2. VCs will need stronger reputations and expertise to compete. Projects are increasingly judged by real user adoption and revenue, not just narratives or token launches. Hyperliquid and Polymarket are cited as examples of projects that built sustainable traction before launching tokens. Despite current challenges, the author remains optimistic: top talent continues to enter the space, and foundational areas like stablecoins, prediction markets, and AI-driven economies hold promise. While the barrier to success is higher than in previous cycles, Web3 remains a land of opportunity—especially when compared to the hyper-competitive Web2 environment.

"Old Money" Sells Off, "New Money" Shrinks: Bitcoin Struggles to Find Support

Bitcoin is experiencing a sustained decline due to a significant supply-demand imbalance, with long-term holders selling at the fastest pace in over five years while market demand weakens. Since hitting its all-time high of $126,000 in January, Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% and is struggling to find support around $85,000. Data shows that early holders ("OGs") have been liquidating their holdings aggressively, with $300 billion worth of dormant Bitcoin re-entering circulation in 2025 alone. Meanwhile, demand from key sources like ETF inflows, institutional interest, and retail participation has dried up. This was exacerbated by a market shock on October 10, when former President Trump’s tariff remarks triggered a record $19 billion liquidation. Despite a brief rally to $90,000, the market quickly resumed its downward trend. Analysts note that this cycle’s sell-off is unique—driven not by altcoin trading or protocol incentives, but by deep liquidity from U.S. ETFs and institutions, allowing early holders to realize profits. While some believe long-term holder selling may soon ease, Bitcoin continues to face pressure from weak demand and thin market liquidity. The market’s ability to stabilize remains uncertain.

Why Has the UAE, Built on Oil, Become a New Hotspot for the Crypto Industry?

The UAE, traditionally known for its oil wealth, is rapidly emerging as a major global hub for the cryptocurrency industry. Despite recent market volatility, the country is actively hosting crypto conferences and attracting top institutions and professionals. A key driver is proactive regulatory development. The UAE incorporated crypto into its "2031 National Investment Strategy" and introduced a "Tokenization Regulatory Sandbox Guide" in 2025, establishing a coordinated federal and local regulatory framework. Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has already licensed 36 companies, while Abu Dhabi's global market recognizes crypto as a regulated financial instrument. This regulatory clarity has drawn major players like OKX, which established a significant local presence. Substantial capital deployment from the oil-rich nation further fuels growth. A record $2 billion investment was made in Binance by Abu Dhabi's MGX. State investment vehicles, including Mubadala, have significantly increased their Bitcoin ETF holdings, collectively exceeding $1.5 billion. The UAE also offers powerful incentives: zero tax on crypto profits for individuals, up to 50 years of corporate tax exemption in free zones, and a coveted Golden Visa for top talent or those investing crypto profits. These policies led to a 300% surge in Dubai blockchain company registrations in 2025. A recent law granting the digital dirham the same legal status as physical cash is set to further integrate with and empower the crypto ecosystem, strengthening the Middle East's role in digital finance. The UAE is strategically leveraging crypto assets to transition into the digital economy.

Federal Reserve quietly reverses anti-crypto stance with new policy

The Federal Reserve has reversed its restrictive 2023 policy on "novel activities" and replaced it with a new framework that creates a clear pathway for banks to engage in digital-asset and blockchain innovation. Announced on 17 December, the move adopts a "same activity, same risks, same regulation" philosophy, allowing banks to pursue crypto-related services like custody, tokenization, and stablecoin integration if they demonstrate strong risk management. The policy shift enables both insured and uninsured state member banks to apply for innovative activities, benefiting crypto-focused institutions. This marks a significant regulatory pivot from discouraging crypto engagement to encouraging responsible innovation under supervision, aligning with broader U.S. efforts to integrate blockchain into mainstream finance.

Coinbase gets nod from Indian regulators to acquire CoinDCX stake

The Competition Commission of India has approved Coinbase's acquisition of a minority stake in cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX. The approval, confirmed by Coinbase's chief legal officer Paul Grewal, deepens the partnership between the two platforms. Neither the regulatory notice nor Grewal disclosed the exact stake percentage. Earlier reports indicated Coinbase planned to invest with a post-money valuation of about $2.4 billion, while denying rumors of a full $1 billion acquisition. Separately, Coinbase is reportedly planning to reintroduce fiat on-ramps for Indian users in 2026, marking its return to the Indian market after halting services in 2023. India, with over 1.4 billion people, is considered a major crypto market with an estimated 100 million users.

Breaking Away from Traditional Investment Paths: Cryptocurrency Emerges as the Primary Battlefield for Wealth Among the Younger Generation

Coinbase's latest industry report, in collaboration with Ipsos, reveals a significant generational shift in investment strategies. Younger investors, including Gen Z and millennials, are increasingly moving away from traditional wealth-building paths like buying real estate and investing in stocks. The survey of over 2,000 U.S. investors found that 73% of young people believe it's harder for their generation to build wealth through conventional means compared to their parents' generation. This sentiment is reflected in their portfolios: younger investors allocate 25% of their investments to non-traditional assets like cryptocurrencies, derivatives, and NFTs—three times the allocation of older investors. Nearly half (45%) of young investors already hold cryptocurrency, compared to just 18% of older investors. They view crypto not as a speculative side investment but as a core component for catching up financially, with 80% believing it offers more opportunities outside the traditional financial system. Younger investors are also more active, trade more frequently, and are willing to take higher risks for greater returns. They express strong interest in emerging crypto products like derivatives, prediction markets, and DeFi lending. This trend is pushing the financial industry toward 24/7, multi-asset platforms that better serve this internet-native generation.

Paradigm's First Investment in a Brazilian Company: What's the Logic Behind It?

Paradigm has made its first investment in a Brazilian company, leading a $13.5 million Series A round in Crown, a stablecoin issuer, at a $90 million valuation. This investment, alongside a previous $8.1 million seed round, highlights strong institutional confidence in Crown’s potential despite its current small market size—BRLV, Crown’s Brazilian real-backed stablecoin, has a circulating supply worth under $20 million. Crown’s appeal lies in its experienced founding group, including former executives from major Brazilian fintech firms like Nubank and Xerpa, and a vision to use stablecoins to support Brazil’s national treasury while offering yield to holders. Brazil represents a strategic market due to its high crypto adoption (ranking fifth globally), a large unbanked population, and a supportive regulatory environment, including the widely-used Pix instant payment system. Unlike many emerging economies, Brazil’s growing fintech ecosystem and reduced inflation make local currency stability viable, creating opportunities for real-backed stablecoins to integrate with existing infrastructure and serve both domestic and cross-border use cases.

HashKey Falls Below IPO Price on First Day of Trading, 'The Eastern Coinbase' Not Yet Established

HashKey Holdings (stock code: 03887.HK), known as the first Hong Kong-listed cryptocurrency exchange, debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on December 17. Despite strong pre-IPO interest—with its public offering oversubscribed by nearly 394 times—the stock price fell below its initial offering price of HK$6.68 within the first hour of trading. It closed the day at HK$6.67 after hitting a low of HK$6.12. The market response contrasts sharply with earlier optimism from crypto industry participants, who had hailed HashKey as a milestone for Hong Kong’s Web3 sector and even dubbed it the "Eastern Coinbase." However, the article points out significant gaps between HashKey and Coinbase in terms of scale: HashKey has only 138,000 registered users and average daily trading volumes in the millions of dollars, far below Coinbase’s pre-IPO user base of 56 million and billions in daily trades. HashKey has reported four consecutive years of losses, which the company attributes to high investment in technology and compliance during its early development phase. The IPO raised approximately HK$1.67 billion, with 40% earmarked for technology upgrades and another 40% for market expansion. The listing is seen by some as a symbolic step toward broader acceptance of crypto in traditional finance, yet the author suggests HashKey’s successful listing may remain an isolated case in Hong Kong. This is largely due to the influential backing of its major shareholder, Lu Weiding—chairman of Wanxiang Group and a prominent business and political figure—whose support may be difficult for other crypto firms to replicate under current regulatory conditions.
