BlockBeats news, January 26, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated, 'We need to make it easier for private enterprises to access capital. Currently, companies are more motivated to remain public for an extended period. Companies often stay private for years, and all profits flow to private/credit investors. After going public, stock performance usually suffers. This is because, in the early stages of a company's lifecycle, there is a lack of a liquid market to establish reasonable valuations. Ultimately, companies will be able to complete the IPO process entirely on-chain, which will significantly reduce costs, minimize friction, and increase participation. We hope this day comes soon.'

Original author: Eric, Foresight News

2025 is considered a landmark year for Web3 practitioners to make their first large-scale entry into the official main agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF). 'Crypto at a Crossroads' made its debut in the main venue agenda, discussing whether cryptocurrency has entered the mainstream era. A year later, with the sequential entry of Western financial giants, Web3 has transformed from last year's crossroads into a true mainstream.

This year at the World Economic Forum main venue, tokenization and stablecoins became two important topics of discussion, and Binance founder CZ was also invited to participate in the discussion themed 'New Era for Finance'. Unlike the free discussions at CT, the speeches of Web3 representatives in such a large venue were obviously much more restrained, but it still did not overshadow the ambition that 'Web3 will change the world'.

BlockBeats News, January 26, according to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin falls below $85,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach 1.106 billion.

Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks through $90,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach 1.584 billion.

BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually show the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to nearby liquidation clusters, i.e., intensity.

Therefore, the liquidation chart shows the extent to which the underlying price reaching a certain position will be affected. Higher 'liquidation bars' indicate that once the price reaches that point, there will be a stronger reaction due to liquidity waves.
