According to Foresight News, the SlowMist security team has released an analysis report on the security incident involving Truebit Protocol. On January 8, Truebit Protocol was attacked due to an integer overflow vulnerability in its Purchase contract, allowing the attacker to mint TRU tokens at nearly zero cost and steal 8,535 Ethereum. The root cause was identified as the lack of overflow protection mechanisms in the contract, leading to incorrect price calculations. The stolen funds were subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash. It is recommended that contracts compiled with versions of Solidity prior to 0.8.0 should always use SafeMath to protect all arithmetic operations and prevent overflow-related logical defects.

According to Odaily, Helius CEO Mert stated on the X platform that AI provides Solana with a significant competitive advantage in development. Solana's programming model is considered safer for AI compared to the EVM interface model. On Solana, most operations, especially core functions like token creation, exchange, and movement, do not require new contract writing. This allows developers to reuse existing pipelines on the client side without needing new security audits, thereby accelerating development speed. Developers can integrate existing pipelines, exchanges, and token hooks with minimal prompts. Additionally, the previous disadvantage of Solana's contract writing difficulty due to the low abstraction level of the Rust language has been effectively mitigated by AI. It is anticipated that several startups with valuations ranging from $1 billion to $10 billion will emerge on Solana this year.

According to PANews, QCP Capital's analysis indicates that Bitcoin, gold, and silver experienced simultaneous gains during the Asian market's early trading hours, driven by a significant weakening of the U.S. dollar. The market perceives the U.S. Department of Justice's subpoena and criminal charges threat against the Federal Reserve as retaliation against its policy independence. Although the event's economic impact is limited, it raises concerns about central bank independence, increasing demand for alternative value reserves.

Gold and silver continued their upward trend, while Bitcoin initially rose but failed to surpass $92,000, subsequently declining as the European market opened, following a pattern observed in the fourth quarter of last year. The derivatives market also shows a delay in bullish sentiment, with investors opting to extend high-priced call options to March.

The market's attention is now focused on the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release on January 13 and the Supreme Court's tariff ruling on January 14.

This trend is largely attributed to diminished expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in March.The U.S. market experienced a net outflow of $569 million, while Germany, Canada, and Switzerland recorded inflows of $58.9 million, $24.5 million, and $21 million, respectively. Bitcoin and Ethereum saw outflows of $405 million and $116 million, respectively. In contrast, Solana, XRP, and Sui experienced inflows of $32.8 million, $45.8 million, and $7.6 million, respectively.

According to Odaily, SolanaFloor announced on the X platform that the financial regulatory authority in Dubai has prohibited the use of privacy tokens within the Dubai International Financial Centre.

According to Foresight News, Caixin has updated its report on the extradition of Southeast Asian gambling figure She Lunkai, revealing details about his blockchain project, "Asia Pacific New City." The project's sole partner is Singapore-based blockchain company BCB Innovation Ltd. The Fincy payment software, based on the BCB blockchain, is promoted within Asia Pacific New City, aiming to create a Southeast Asian version of WeChat. Fincy and BCB share the same parent company and have similar shareholder members, offering fiat and digital currency exchange transactions and online gaming.

Industry experts have pointed out that by providing currency exchange and online gaming, the project introduces numerous unrelated participants, breaking down large sums of money into smaller amounts. These funds eventually converge on a gambling platform disguised as a gaming site, significantly weakening the oversight of financial flows.

According to Cointelegraph, Future Holdings AG, a Bitcoin treasury company based in Switzerland and supported by industry veteran Adam Back, has entered into preliminary terms for a potential acquisition by Sweden-listed H100 Group. On Monday, Future Holdings announced it had signed a non-binding letter of intent with H100, which outlines the acquisition of 100% of its shares.

Richard Byworth, chairman of Future Holdings, stated in a joint announcement that merging with H100 would establish a public-market platform and governance framework crucial for building long-term institutional credibility in the Swiss market. This proposed acquisition follows the establishment of Future Holdings in November 2025 by Back, Byworth, and Sebastien Hess, during which the company raised $35 million for its Bitcoin treasury. Additionally, Back extended a $2.1 million convertible loan to H100 in June 2025, with an option to invest an additional $12.8 million.

The acquisition price for Future Holdings has been set at approximately 375,000 Swiss francs, or roughly $471,000, plus the company's cash balance at closing. Based on Future's current cash position, the total purchase price is anticipated to be around 600,000 Swiss francs, or approximately $753,000. The payment is expected to be made in newly issued H100 shares at the closing price on the last trading day before the letter of intent.

The transaction is subject to due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, and obtaining necessary corporate and regulatory approvals. The companies anticipate that the signing and closing will occur in January 2026. For H100, this acquisition represents a significant step in its strategy to expand beyond the Nordic region and establish itself as a leading Bitcoin treasury and financial platform in Europe.

Sander Andersen, chairman of H100, expressed that the transaction supports H100's expansion into Switzerland, highlighting Future Holdings' local expertise and the importance of Switzerland as a market for institutional investors exploring new capital allocation strategies. Besides Future and H100, Adam Back has supported several Bitcoin treasury companies, including the French treasury Capital B and The Bitcoin Standard Treasury. During a surge in Bitcoin treasuries in the summer of 2025, Back referred to Bitcoin adoption by public companies as the "new altcoin season" for crypto speculators.
