What's important about the past 24 hours
Nano Labs Founder Kong Swordping: Recently about 400,000 Chinese Xinjiang Bitcoin mining machines
ChainCatcher, a former co-chair of the Kanan Science and Technology Board, and now Nano Labs founder and chairman of the Board, Koon Sword Ping, quotes his earlier tweet, “The Xinjiang Bitcoin mine is closing down” saying that, in combination with the recent decline in bitcoin's computing power, at least 400,000 bitcoin machines were in the recent past, based on an average of 250 T (per machine)。
Earlier, according to market sources, Bitcoin ' s Internet-wide computing power was provisionally reported 988.49 ETH/s, down 17.25 per cent from the same time last week. It is worth noting that in November, media reported that bitcoin mining activity was again active in China, including in Xinjiang, China, where by the end of October 2025 the share of bitcoin mining capacity had recovered to about 14 per cent (the third largest in the world). Subsequently, the Central Bank of China led the 13 departments and deployed a special overhaul to combat virtual currency transactions。
Bitwise submits a revised document for its Hyperliquid ETF or is about to be listed
ChainCatcher, Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst from Bloomberg, wrote on social platforms that Bitwise had just submitted a revised document for his Hyperliquid ETF, with the addition of 8(a), rates (0.67%) and stock codes (BHYP)。
Typically, this marks the imminent listing of products。
Encryption Fund C1 Fund announced purchase of Consensys shares
ChainCatcher reports that the encryption fund C1 Fund has announced that it has purchased shares in the Taifung ecosystem infrastructure provider and in Consensys, the parent company of MetaMask, which is a host to encryption, but has not disclosed specific purchase amounts and shares。
According to the information received, C1 Fund had previously announced a public equity contribution of $60 million to increase investment in digital asset science and technology, and had also purchased company shares in Ripple and Chainalysis。
ChainCatcher, according to FortuneVisa announced the launch of the “Stabilization Currency Advisory Service”, which aims to provide a stabilization currency strategy and implementation programme for financial technology companies, banks and other enterprises。
“To help clients develop, it is, frankly, what our presence in the area of stabilization currency means.” In an interview with Fortune magazine, Carl Rutstein, Global Manager of Consulting and Analysis Operations, stated that “Visa's initiative in this area is only a piece of a puzzle added to the client demand layout”
Stabilized currency is a encrypted currency that maintains a stable value through the anchoring of reserve assets, usually in United States dollars. Since the signing of the Genius Act by former President Tripp in July this year — the legislation that establishes rules for the issuance of digital assets — many companies in the traditional financial sector have recently embraced stable currencies. Other payment giants, such as PayPal and MasterCard, have since strengthened their capacity to stabilize currency operations。
Rutstein revealed that the Visa stabilization advisory service has dozens of clients, including the Navy Federal Credit Union, the VyStar Credit Union and the financial institution called Pathward. He indicated that the service would assist enterprises in their currency stabilization operations in the dimensions of strategic planning, technology operation and deployment. The application of stabilization currency by its clients covers cross-border transactions (especially remittances to countries with higher currency fluctuations) and inter-firm transactions. Rutstein noted that, following Visa ' s advice, some enterprises may advance a currency stabilization scheme, while others may conclude that there is currently no customer demand. The company expects the size of the service to expand to hundreds of clients。
Visa is not new to the field of encrypted currency. In 2023, the company used USDC on a pilot basis to settle stabilization currency and now operates over 130 card distribution projects linked to stabilization currency in over 40 countries. Visa ' s annual stable currency settlement has reached approximately $3.5 billion。
ChainCatcher reports that JP Morgan Chase officially launched its first monetized money market fund, marking an important step in the application of block chain technology by this banking giant。
The private fund will operate on the ETA block chain and be open to eligible investors. JP Morgan will inject $100 million of its own capital into the Fund for start-up funding。
Cathy Wood discloses three of its best-looking encrypted assets: BTC, ETH and SOL
ChainCatcher News, Ark Invest Tracker posted an interview video on X platform by ARK Invest founder Cathy Wood, in which she listed three of the best-looking encrypted assets: Bitcoin, which serves as an entry point for global monetary systems and institutions; Etheum, which serves as an institutional infrastructure layer; and the consumer-centred block chain Solana。
ChainCatcher, according to Kim X, CME's Fed Watch shows that the Fed's probability of maintaining interest rates in January next year is 75.6 per cent, while the probability of a reduction of 25 basis points is 24.4 per cent. By March next year, the probability of a cumulative reduction of 25 basis points is 41.9 per cent, the probability of maintaining interest rates unchanged is 49.8 per cent and the probability of a cumulative reduction of 50 basis points is 8.3 per cent。
ChainCatcher reports that the British Treasury is drafting new regulations aimed at bringing encrypted currency and digital assets under control。
Under the legislation, encrypted currency will be regulated in a manner similar to that of other financial products and is expected to enter into force in 2027. The new regulation will require companies that encrypt money to meet a number of standards that are supervised by the Financial Conduct Control Authority (FCA). The British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has stated that the inclusion of encrypted currency in the regulatory sphere is a critical step in ensuring that the UK is a leading global financial centre in the digital age。
THIS WOULD PROVIDE CLEAR RULES FOR ENTERPRISES, WHILE PROVIDING STRONGER CONSUMER PROTECTION AND EXCLUDING OUTLAWS FROM THE BRITISH MARKET. UNDER THE PROPOSED CHANGES, COMPANIES PROVIDING ENCRYPTED MONEY SERVICES WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FCA ' S TERMS OF REFERENCE AND ITS SERVICES WOULD BE REGULATED LIKE OTHER FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INCLUDING COMPLIANCE WITH TRANSPARENCY STANDARDS. THESE COMPANIES INCLUDE, FOR EXAMPLE, ENCRYPTED MONEY EXCHANGES AND DIGITAL WALLETS, AND MUST REGISTER WITH FCA IF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE FALL WITHIN THE SCOPE OF BRITISH ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING LEGISLATION。
ChainCatcher reports that, according to market news, TestMachine has recently completed funding of $6.5 million and plans to accelerate the global expansion of its AI Secure Platform Predator。
This round of financing was led by BlockChange Ventures, New Form Capital, Decasonic and Delphi Digital, and by Baboon, UDHC, Auros Global, General Ventures, Constanto Digital and Santiago Santos。
Predator has now integrated into CEX and DEX in Coinbase for real-time monitoring of more than one million currency risks. Officially, the system has identified all 12 million dollars in a sample of 11,000 tokens。
In Switzerland, AMINA Bank is the first to go online
ChainCatcher reports that the encrypted bank AMINA, supervised by FinMA in Switzerland, became the first European bank to officially access Ripple to pay for cross-border settlements. This integration connects block chain settlements to traditional banking systems and allows efficient cross-border transfers by clients within a regulated framework。
The AMINA Chief Product Officer, Myles Harrison, stated that the traditional network of correspondent banks could not support both the French currency and the stable currency track, while Ripple technology significantly improved banking capacity, reduced cross-border friction and helped encrypt original customers to maintain a competitive advantage。
Vitalik sells various tokens, including 1,400 UNIs
ChainCatcher reports that, in recent days, Vitalik Buterin, founder of the Inn, has carried out a series of transactions for the sale of coins, including 1,400 UNIs (value about US$ 7,480), 10,000 KNCs (value about US$ 2,470) and 40 trillion DINUs, a deal that has won 16,796 USDCs。
ChainCatcher newsKevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Commission, said that, if he was elected to lead the Fed, he would consider President Trump ' s policy advice, but the Fed ' s interest rate decision would remain independent。
Kevin Hassett said last week in CBS, Face the Nation, that the President had a very strong and well-founded view of the Fed’s actions. He added, however, that it was the Fed ' s duty to remain independent and to work with Council members, FOMC colleagues, to reach a collective consensus on the level of interest rates。
Kevin Hassett is responding to a question about Trump's comments last Friday. Trump stated at the time that he should be able to make a recommendation on the interest rate set by the Fed. For several months, Trang’s senior adviser has been pressuring the Fed’s Chairman, Powell, to demand a reduction in interest rates, while weighing the replacement of Powell。
ELIE: ETH BIG WHALE CONTINUES TO BUY AND STILL BELIEVES IT'S BEST TO BUY A SPOT
ChainCatcher, founder of Liquid Capital, JackYi, argues, "The decline is limited, the rise is unlimited, the investment core is risk control and measuring the profit/loss ratio, and ETH has been buying continuously recently, and continues to believe that it is now the best place to buy a spot."
According to ChainCatcher, the China National Data Authority, the People ' s Government of Chongqing City and the Singapore Information and Communication Media Development Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation on the Development of a New Channel for Digital Land, Sea and Land Development, which is aimed at deepening cooperation between China and the New China under the Strategic Interconnection Model Project to enable the construction of a new corridor for future intelligent economies through digital transformation。
Under the memorandum, the three parties will focus on practical cooperation in the following areas:
One is digital connectivity, which, within the framework of digital rules between the two sides, promotes the safe and orderly flow of data across borders through digital infrastructure, and explores efficient, accessible and secure digital access。
The second is digital technology and innovation, which encourages and supports joint R & D and landscape applications by enterprises and scientific institutions in the two countries in the areas of artificial intelligence, block chains, large data, etc., in order to share the experiences and results of intelligent city building。
Third, training in digital talent exchange provides solid talent support for digital economic development through seminars, skills certification and talent exchange projects to enhance professional development in the digital field。
ChainCatcher, in response to rumours of community transmission, CZ responded on platform X that all interactions with the persons concerned were “three messages sent back and forth, meeting for 10 minutes” and met several KOLs before the debate with Peter Schiff and decided, on an interim basis, that the KOL would deliver a very heavy gold, without prior arrangements。

What are the good articles worth reading in the past 24 hours
When the coin became a waterline, people were paying bitcoin developers
Two days ago, the Bitcoin Ecological Research and Consulting Team 1A1z published an in-depth report on the builders of Bitcoin Core。
The article, which appears to be just an ordinary developer interview study, opens up one of the most easily ignored realities of the encryption industry:A group of people who are far removed from the flow centres, do not talk, do not market, and maintain the lowest and most critical infrastructure of the industry for a long time。
In this list of sponsors supporting Bitcoin Core, OKX's name is not visible. It is precisely because of the low profile that many people realized for the first time that there were still large platforms in the industry to invest resources in short-term, hard-to-reward, long-term decisions about the direction of the industry。
From the fall of Asia of a16z to the evening of the VC empire and the new king
On 10 December 2025, a16z Cripto announced the opening of an office in Seoul. The draft is called an “offence”, but if you go a little further and see a16z relying heavily on liquidity exits, a surge in supervisory liabilities, etc., you will know that this could be a “runaway” for a 16z。
Nobody's happy in the casino economy. America's young people are losing faith in the future
If you lose faith in the system around you, then why follow collective norms? Hard work doesn't seem to pay off, so why don't you go and gamble? The agency is lying! But youtuber, who made the cover, didn't lie, and on his cover he pointed a bowl of Italian noodles with a big mouth and asked "significant questions." We no longer trust each other. As Jordan Schwartz, the student president of the Harvard Public Opinion Project, said:
"Z'S GENERATION IS ON A PATH THAT COULD THREATEN THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL STABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS A FIVE-TIER ALERT CRISIS THAT MUST BE ACTED UPON IF WE WANT TO RESTORE THE CONFIDENCE OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN POLITICS, THE UNITED STATES AND EACH OTHER. I DON'T KNOW
Web3 The plight and future of Chinese entrepreneurs
At a time when the encryption industry is increasingly being mainstreamed, Chinese entrepreneurs seem to be moving further and further away from the centre of the stage。
Once upon a time, Chinese-created projects have taken over half of the industry, including the well-known encrypted currency exchanges of Cheonan, OkX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate, HTX, Bitmart and others. This is particularly true of mining, where projects such as the Bit Continent, Kanan Ji-ji, and the Starfire Pool are important in the industry. What they have in common is that they were largely created in 17-18 years or earlier。
Although Zhao Chang Peng, Xu Sing, Wu Zhuong, and Sun Woo are still at the forefront of the industry, a general consensus has emerged since 2020, following DeFi Summer’s boom: the visibility and voice of a new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs in the global encryption industry has declined, and so far there have been no leaders who can stand alongside the previous generation. What happened to Chinese entrepreneurs' ecology? Where are the future opportunities
