Did the U.S. seize a Chinese fraud king's 15,0000 million dollar Bitcoin? Here's how
On January 7, Chinese state television aired a dramatic scene: a disheveled, handcuffed man was dragged off a plane in Beijing. The prisoner was Chen Zhi, the 38-year-old founder of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group, accused of running one of Asia's largest fraud empires.
Cambodia detained Chen the previous day and handed him over to China, ending years of speculation about whether the influential businessman would ever face justice. Chen's downfall, however, dominates headlines, but another mystery remains: What actually happened to his 15 billion dollars in Bitcoins?

White House press briefing intensifies discussion over insider trading—Pelosi joins the irony...
The viral video of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt abruptly ending a press briefing just seconds before a critical betting threshold has heightened concerns about insider trading on betting markets. At the time, 30 Democrats introduced a legislative proposal that would ban elected officials from making political bets.
It may have started as a joke—but nobody ended up laughing.
30 seconds exit
The controversy began on January 7, when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt decided to end her daily press briefing around the 64-minute and 30-second mark, just slightly before the 65-minute threshold that the betting market Kalshi had set as its betting benchmark. At that time, the market considered it 98% likely that the briefing would extend beyond 65 minutes. Bettors who wagered against this outcome received up to 50-fold returns per second.
Crypto-related kidnappings in France overshadow the cancellation of NFT Paris event
Although NFT Paris and RWA Paris 2026 were officially canceled on January 5th, citing a global collapse in cryptocurrency markets and unsustainable costs, the increasing violence related to crypto has cast a concerning backdrop to the announcement.
Over 20 kidnappings and violent attacks targeting professionals in the crypto industry and their families have been reported in France since January 2025. This has created a climate of fear within the country's Web3 community.
Stellar's RWA value approaches 1 billion dollars – could XLM's price turn bullish
Stellar's price has been fluctuating for months and is still about 34% below over the past three months. Although the broader downward trend continues, recent price movements have stabilized, and XLM has remained nearly unchanged over the past 24 hours. Underlying factors indicate that the weakness may be waning and no longer intensifying.
At the same time, Stellar's actual usage is growing. Capital continues to flow into the network, dips are being actively bought, and an upward pattern is forming. With Stellar's real-world asset value now approaching the one-billion-dollar threshold, the price is nearing a critical decision point.

Analysts detect a Bitcoin price rebound window — could Trump's 10 percent credit cut...
Bitcoin's price may be approaching a short-term rebound, analyst Willy Woo assessed, as macroeconomic decisions in the United States could accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Data-driven models indicate that investor flows into Bitcoin were established on December 24, 2025, and have strengthened since then. His overall outlook for 2026 remains cautious due to decreasing liquidity, but near-term prospects point to a cautious upward pressure in the coming weeks.

Zcash drops into 30% decline zone – what went wrong with ZEC
Zcash price is under pressure. A management-related surprise shattered the sentiment, the chart broke down below the lower time frame level, and downside risks are now clearly visible.
This move is exceptional because major holders have aggressively bought during the decline, even though ZEC's price has dropped 25% over the week. Price, sentiment, and 'whale' activity are now moving in different directions.
30 percent risk zone based on the breakdown pattern and EMA loss
A downtrend structure has begun in Zcash price, which may not be noticeable on a daily chart but is clearly visible on the 12-hour chart. The price formed a 'head-and-shoulders' pattern and dropped below the neckline, approaching $381. Once this level broke, the pattern activated.
Binance Founder CZ Sees a Crypto Currency Super Cycle Driven by Historic Shift in U.S...
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao stated that cryptocurrency markets may be entering a "super-cycle." He linked the change to Washington's 180-degree turn in regulating digital assets.
Zhao's bold prediction about the crypto super-cycle comes at a time when the U.S. administration is dismantling the heavily regulated framework that has governed digital assets for previous years.
Why Binance Founder Predicted the Crypto Currency Super Cycle Phase
The shift is based on the recently passed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
XRP ETFs stay in positive territory, but investments at record low: how does the price react?
XRP's price remains above $2.08, but the breakthrough has not yet been confirmed. The reason is not just price weakness, but also timing. During the past week, XRP spot ETF investments have dropped to their lowest level since trading began, which is reflected in a slowed upward momentum.
Meanwhile, long-term holders have begun buying aggressively. This creates a rare contradiction between institutional demand and long-term confidence, leaving XRP in a decisive position.
Solana releases emergency fix as validator adoption lags behind
The Solana blockchain faces a significant infrastructure test this weekend, as developers have rolled out an emergency security update to network validators.
Solana Status announced the immediate release of validator software v3.0.14 on January 10.
Over half of the network's validators are still using outdated software
Although the update was described in official announcements as a preventive measure aimed at improving stability, its deployment points specifically to critical cybersecurity needs.
Onyxcoin price forecast: 290 million whale purchase gives critical clue
Onyxcoin's price has been one of the strongest gainers this month, but recent developments suggest a more complex situation. XCN is still nearly 97% up over the past seven days, but this headline-level surge masks a significant correction. Since January 6th, the token's price has corrected by about 36%, briefly rising to a level of $0.0130.
This decline has not broken the structure. XCN's price is now consolidating within an uptrend flag, rebounding over 4% on a daily basis as major holders step in and selling pressure weakens. The key question is whether XCN can trigger the explosive rally that has been anticipated for some time.
Cardano stalls at breakout point: holders' transfers now weakening 50 percent price rally...
Cardano's price is once again under scrutiny after its failed breakout attempt. ADA has dropped by about 2% over the past 24 hours and has been in a downward trend since January 6th. Nevertheless, the decline remains limited. Over the past seven days, ADA's price has mostly remained stable and has not turned negative.
This balance is not by chance. Cardano maintains its upward structure, and buying pressure hasn't disappeared. Buying continues on the surface, but the type of buying has changed. This is now the biggest risk factor determining whether ADA stabilizes or continues to decline.
Buterin urges development of sovereign web tools to limit corporate power
Vitalik Buterin, the second founder of Ethereum, has called for the development of digital tools that place user autonomy and privacy at the forefront.

Vitalik Buterin proposes a plan for a sovereign web free from Big Tech
Ethereum investment views have changed significantly over the past month, as institutional investors, especially BitMine and new ETFs, have taken over the network.
This growth has caused a logistical bottleneck, meaning new participants must wait approximately one month before their invested assets start generating returns.
Institutions are shifting towards Ethereum investment despite record-low returns
On January 9th, blockchain analyst Ember CN reported that BitMine has transferred over 1 million ETH (over 3.2 billion USD) to Ethereum's proof-of-stake system in the past 30 days.
