Recently came across zkLink's new roadmap, it feels like this is not an ordinary "cross-chain protocol".
What they are aiming for is an AI-driven cross-chain trading network — no permissions, no protocol fees, direct peer-to-peer, trading, transferring assets, negotiating prices, all handled automatically by AI.
In simple terms, it aims to make the "cross-chain experience" as smooth as a single chain. No more switching chains, changing bridges, or running aggregators.
The white paper, PoC testing, and open-sourcing of the protocol will be completed by 2025; 2026 will see the start of global Alpha/Beta testing, focusing on node verification and developer ecosystem. The zkLink Nova mainnet is already live, capable of aggregating multiple L2 assets.
The backing investment is also strong: Coinbase Ventures, OKX, Crypto.com, Republic, SIG are all involved. $ZKL is currently listed on Bybit, Gate, Bitget, Hashkey Global, Coinone.
Currently, there are no flashy narratives or any airdrop topics, but the product logic is solid: the protocol comes first, modules follow, and liquidity will be gradually supplemented.
What zkLink aims to achieve is not just a "bridge", but more like rewriting the way transactions occur between chains.
You can keep an eye on it and see how it unfolds. 👀
$B2 is building an irreplaceable pricing power for BTCFi world!
Fundamentally solid: $500 million mining pool TVL solidifies the monopoly position on the supply side, a 0.1% renewal rate disrupts the industry's cost structure, and real returns feed back into token deflation and burning.
Clear expectation difference: 10% strategic token reserves directly target the contract launch explosion period, VC consensus anchors the first target price at $1, forming strong support for value return.
Growth loop: miner computing power accumulation → transaction flow siphoning → ecological application fission, driven by a three-tier flywheel, a 4-5 times valuation increase is by no means just a paper blueprint.
When scarce infrastructure meets Binance Alpha momentum, $1 is just the starting line for the value reassessment of $B2, and after the ecological landing, it will definitely continue to explode!

Analysis of the impact of the EU's delisting of USDT It is reported that the EU is expected to delist USDT around December 30, which will have many impacts:
In terms of liquidity, USDT is the most widely used stablecoin. Delisting may impact the liquidity of the European market, and users who rely on it for trading will bear the brunt. It is expected that the price of USDT will float down in the short term. If the price drops to around 7, you may try to buy the bottom and arbitrage.
In terms of stability, although USDT is a stablecoin with a constant value, delisting will still cause certain negative effects. However, given that it is only in the EU and limited to Coinbeas, the impact is limited. Unless there is a de-anchoring situation, it may trigger a bear market, but the probability of de-anchoring in the short term is low.
In terms of supervision, this incident will make the market's legal and compliance issues a hot topic again, and related regulatory sectors are expected to be driven.
