🅱️ The main danger to the BTC network is posed by "ambitious opportunists" attempting to change the protocol for their own goals. This was stated by Strategy founder Michael Saylor, commenting on the disputes surrounding new use cases for blockchain.
🕕 In the community, Saylor's words were linked to the discussion about BIP-110 — an initiative by Bitcoin Knots proposing to limit the amount of data in transactions to combat spam. The occasion was also a recent criticism of updates that expand data storage capabilities in the network.
📊 The authors of BIP-110 argue that arbitrary data overloads nodes and distracts Bitcoin from its financial mission. However, only about 3% of validators have expressed support for the initiative, with 55% needed.
➡️ Opponents of the soft fork consider the proposal ineffective and point out that methods of recording data have long evolved. Adam Back reminded that built-in mechanisms — fees and Proof of Work — already force spammers to pay an economic price without breaking the architecture of the network.

Binance has applied for a pan-European MiCA license in Greece
➡️ Binance has submitted an application for a MiCA license in Greece — it will allow the exchange to operate legally across the EU. Crypto companies must obtain such a license by July 2026, or they will have to leave the European market.
📊 Currently, Binance is already operating in several EU countries with national licenses and has offices in multiple jurisdictions. MiCA does not cancel local regulations — the exchange will still be subject to consumer protection laws.
🔺 According to Fortune, the application review is being expedited and is under the supervision of the Greek capital markets regulator. Additionally, Binance has registered a holding company in the country with no expiration date, indicating plans for a long-term presence in Europe.

CZ named tokenization, payments, and AI as key drivers of the crypto market
📊 Binance founder Changpeng Zhao spoke at the WEF in Davos and highlighted three areas that will define the development of the crypto industry: asset tokenization, payments, and artificial intelligence.
➡️ According to him, about a dozen governments are already studying the tokenization of public assets as a way to attract capital and finance infrastructure projects. At the same time, crypto is becoming increasingly integrated into traditional payments, often "behind the scenes" of existing systems.
🕐 CZ specifically noted AI. He believes that in the future, cryptocurrencies will become the native currency for AI agents due to their programmability and global accessibility.
🟠 Zhao emphasized the scale of Binance: over 300 million users and trading volumes exceeding the New York and Shanghai stock exchanges. In December 2023, the platform processed withdrawals of $7 billion in a day without failures — a level unattainable for traditional banks.
⚡️ Speaking about the future, CZ stated that banks will not disappear, but their role will change: physical branches will fade away, and digital finance will take over everyday operations. Regulation, in his opinion, cannot be universal — each country needs its own approach.

CEO Circle called the regulators' fears about stablecoins 'absurd'
➡️ Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated in Davos that interest payments on stablecoins do not threaten the banking system. He called the regulators' concerns about deposit outflows 'absolute nonsense'.
💵 According to him, rewards merely enhance user loyalty and cannot undermine monetary policy. Allaire compared the situation to money market funds: they were also criticized, but ultimately the sector grew to $11 trillion without a collapse in bank lending.
🇺🇸 He noted that funding sources are already shifting from banks to capital markets and private credit — these have provided a significant portion of GDP growth in the U.S. in recent years.
⚙️ Allaire separately highlighted AI as a key driver of demand for stablecoins: billions of autonomous agents need native digital payment infrastructure, and there are no alternatives to 'stable coins' in this role.

Change of Eras: Bitcoin Loses Its "Ideological" HODLers
📊 Analysts from CryptoQuant and Glassnode are recording the largest sell-off of "old" bitcoins in history. In 2024–2025, coins that have not moved for over two years have entered the market — volumes have exceeded the peaks of the 2017 and 2021 cycles.
🅱️Unlike past bull phases, sales are occurring without euphoria and sharp pumps. This indicates a structural change in holders: early investors are exiting, and coins are transitioning to participants focused on price, macro, and liquidity.
🔺 Glassnode describes the current situation as a "fragile equilibrium." The price is balancing between support around $81,100 and resistance near $98,400. Any attempts at growth encounter selling from 2025 buyers looking to break even.
📊 The main pressure is being exerted by participants who entered 3–6 months ago, as well as a supply cluster above $100,000. The market is more likely searching for a bottom due to a pause in sales rather than an influx of new demand.
🔽 The spot market has stabilized, but derivatives remain sluggish: low leverage, weak volumes, and a lack of a long-term outlook. Without a new catalyst, Bitcoin remains in wait mode.

Vietnam has launched licensing for cryptocurrency exchanges with an entry threshold of ~$400 million
➡️ The authorities of Vietnam have started accepting applications for the operation of licensed cryptocurrency exchanges within the framework of an experimental mode established by the Ministry of Finance. The market is immediately made closed and limited in the number of participants.
💵 To launch a platform, a minimum authorized capital of 10 trillion dong (approximately $400 million) is required. Only companies registered in Vietnam can apply, and the share of foreign capital is limited to 49%.
🔺 The model implies a strict selection at the entry point: high requirements for the structure of the business, personnel, and technologies. This is a practical implementation of the law on digital assets, adopted in the summer of 2025, which enshrined cryptocurrencies as a form of property.
📈 Interest in the pilot has already been shown by about ten local banks and investment companies. At the first stage, the market will develop in the format of a "club of major players," and access expansion is possible after evaluating the results of the experiment.
