Özet

Sei Labs, the developer behind the Sei blockchain, has partnered with Xiaomi to pre-install a crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the U.S. The app will allow users to sign in with Google or Xiaomi accounts and includes a secure MPC wallet, access to crypto applications, and support for P2P and merchant payments. The rollout will begin in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. A $5 million fund will support mobile blockchain projects. The companies also plan to enable stablecoin payments for Xiaomi products, including phones and EVs, starting in Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026. This move follows similar efforts by Solana Mobile, which has launched two Web3 smartphones, and Samsung’s integration of crypto features via Coinbase.

Sei Labs, the core development group behind the Sei blockchain, has reached a distribution deal with Xiaomi to pre-install a new crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the United States.

According to Thursday’s announcement, the app will let users sign in with their existing Google or Xiaomi IDs and will feature a multiparty computation wallet for security, access to popular crypto applications, and support for both peer-to-peer and merchant payments.

The rollout will start in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. Sei Labs is also creating a $5 million program aimed at funding mobile projects that bring blockchain features to consumer devices.

The companies plan to add stablecoin payments across Xiaomi’s retail and online channels, allowing customers to purchase devices, including phones and electric vehicles, using assets like USDC (USDC), which is supported by Sei. Early launches are targeted for Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026, with broader expansion to follow.

Solana’s push into smartphones

Sei Labs isn’t the first Web3 project to target smartphones as a gateway for mainstream crypto adoption.

The Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced its first smartphone, the Saga, in June 2022 before beginning shipments the following year. In late 2023, sales surged when a BONK airdrop tied to each device briefly made the phone worth more in tokens than its retail price.

In August 2024, Solana began shipping its second-generation Seeker phone to users in over 50 countries after receiving more than 150,000 preorders. The device includes broad hardware upgrades, a built-in crypto wallet, a decentralized app store and an updated seed-vault system.

On Dec. 3, Solana Mobile announced its plans to launch a native token, SKR, tied to its Seeker phone and broader mobile ecosystem in early 2026. The 10 billion-token supply will include large allocations for airdrops, growth incentives, liquidity and a community treasury, with portions also set aside for Solana Mobile and Solana Labs.

Samsung has also been expanding crypto features on its phones through a recent partnership with Coinbase. In October, the companies began allowing roughly 75 million US Galaxy users to buy crypto directly in Samsung Wallet, with plans to extend the integration to other markets.

Financial Changes under the New SEC Rules: Opportunities and Regulatory Red Lines Behind "Tokenized Stocks"

The article discusses the emergence of "Tokenized Stocks" following the U.S. SEC's proposed "innovation exemption" framework, which could allow some assets to be traded on blockchain. It clarifies key misconceptions for investors, particularly those in China. Firstly, it emphasizes that most "tokenized stocks" currently offered by third-party crypto platforms are synthetic assets, not actual equity. Purchasers do not gain shareholder rights like dividends or voting; instead, they hold a derivative contract dependent on the issuing platform's credit and its ability to track the underlying stock's price. The article examines the risks of 24/7 trading, a major selling point. It notes the absence of circuit breakers, which could lead to sudden, unrecoverable losses during off-hours market shocks. It also warns of liquidity traps and high volatility due to the market's currently small size. It reveals that the primary drivers are institutional players like BlackRock and JPMorgan, who are focused on using blockchain for efficiency gains in areas like treasury settlements (T+0), not retail speculation. For Chinese readers, it strongly cautions that platforms offering "easy" access to U.S. stocks via tokens with RMB likely violate strict domestic regulations on cross-border securities and virtual currencies, offering no legal protection. The conclusion offers practical advice: use legal channels like QDII for long-term investment, be wary of high-return promises, monitor evolving regulations like the U.S. CLARITY Act, and prioritize compliance and risk management over chasing innovation. The SEC's move is framed as a strategic experiment in financial tech leadership, but for individual investors, understanding the risks and regulatory boundaries is paramount.

Trump Halts AI Executive Order, Regulatory Efforts Succumb to Competitive Anxiety

In a last-minute reversal, former President Donald Trump halted the signing of a long-anticipated executive order on artificial intelligence. The order had sought to establish a voluntary, pre-release safety testing framework for advanced AI models developed by leading companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI. Under the proposed plan, companies would have shared their most powerful models with the U.S. government 90 days before public release for national security and cybersecurity risk assessments. Trump refused to approve the order, stating he did not want anything to "slow down our leadership," emphasizing America's lead over China in AI and the technology's role in job creation. This decision highlights the core tension in U.S. AI policy: balancing the management of systemic risks posed by frontier models—such as exposing financial system vulnerabilities—against fears that any regulation could stifle innovation and undermine competitive advantage. The move came despite significant public support for AI safety testing and followed internal administration debates. Some officials, alarmed by the capabilities of models like Anthropic's Mythos in uncovering critical security flaws, had advocated for stronger oversight. However, the industry and many within Trump's circle opposed even this voluntary framework, arguing it would hamper American innovation. The incident underscores how AI policy is increasingly intersecting with national security, economic strategy, and political governance.

Jane Street Sued: Suspected of Using Telegram Insider Information to Exit and Short Before Terra Collapse, Profiting $134 Million

Wall Street trading giant Jane Street Group is facing a lawsuit alleging it used insider information from a private Telegram channel with a former Terraform Labs intern to avoid losses and profit from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022. According to newly unsealed court documents, Jane Street allegedly sold nearly $192 million worth of the UST stable币 before its depeg, and then established short positions, netting approximately $134 million in profits. The suit, filed by Terraform's bankruptcy estate, claims the firm gained a critical "information advantage" through these private communications, allowing it to execute large sales, including an $85 million UST transaction on Curve Finance minutes after Terraform quietly withdrew liquidity. Jane Street has denied the allegations as "baseless" and moved to dismiss the case. A 2023 court ruling that classified UST and Luna as securities bolsters the legal basis of this suit.

Machines Pay, Humans Reap: Coinbase, Stripe, Google, Visa's AI Payments Land Grab

One year after being a concept, machine-to-machine payments are now a battleground. Four competing architectures are already deployed by Coinbase (x402 protocol), Stripe/Tempo (MPP standard), Google (AP2 authorization layer), and Visa (tokenized credentials). AI Agents have already settled over $73 million across 176 million transactions, with a median value between $0.01 and $0.10. A key barrier is the ~$0.30 minimum fee of traditional card rails, making them unviable for micro-payments. In contrast, Layer 2 stablecoin settlement costs $0.0001, with USDC dominating 98.6% of all transactions. The dynamic is less about a single winning protocol and more about vertical integration within a new payment stack. Companies like Coinbase and Stripe control multiple layers (settlement, wallet, routing, protocol, governance), driving over $8 billion in recent acquisitions to solidify their positions. The shift from extractive bot activity to productive Agent commerce is underway, with AI Agents accounting for 37% of all Gnosis Chain Safe transactions. The pace of adoption will be set not by available technology but by the development of trust and safety infrastructure for autonomous transactions. While a fully permissionless vision is appealing, supervised access remains crucial until AI reliability improves. Regulatory frameworks like MiCA and the EU AI Act, due in mid-2026, currently lag behind this rapidly evolving reality. The foundational argument is clear: crypto rails have already won micro-payments. The central question is how quickly the trust layer can catch up to the scaling settlement layer.

Upside Still Rolling For HYPE And Zcash—But Danger Zones Are Getting Closer

Hype (HYPE) reached a new all-time high near $63, and Zcash (ZEC) approached its record levels, with monthly gains of 45% and 108% respectively. Both have climbed in market cap rankings. However, following pullbacks, analyst Ali Martinez warns of rising downside risk. For HYPE, technical indicators like the RSI and TD Sequential show a pattern similar to past corrections. Martinez cautions that price rejection from current levels could lead to a retracement toward $40. Zcash faces resistance in the $700-$730 area, the same zone that caused a major rejection in November. A weekly TD Sequential sell signal is emerging, with stretched momentum indicators. If confirmed, corrections could target $500 initially, and potentially $380. While both assets remain in strong uptrends, current conditions suggest increasing risk of a significant pullback.
