Meta has conceded to the new social media law in Australia, cutting access to Facebook and Instagram accounts of more than half a million teens in the country. According to the company, it took down accounts belonging to 330,000 users on Instagram, 173,000 on Facebook, and 39,000 on Threads.

Meta mentioned that the action commenced during the week of December 4 through December 11. The company mentioned that it started removing young users a week before the ban officially started on December 10. The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Albanese, said it will share official numbers this week showing how many young people were removed from different platforms covered by the new rules.

Meta cuts access for teens as companies question the law

In a statement released overnight, Meta said the ban is not achieving what the Australian government hoped it would. The company argues the law is not making young people safer or improving their well-being as intended. Meta raised concerns that vulnerable teenagers are now cut off from helpful online communities where they found support.

The company also warned that these young users might move to apps with fewer safety rules and less oversight. The tech giant also took issue with what it called “inconsistent” ways of checking how old users are. Meta questioned the basic idea behind the law itself. “The premise of the law, which prevents under-16-year-olds from holding a social media account so they aren’t exposed to an ‘algorithmic experience’, is false,” Meta said in its online post.

The company explained that platforms allowing teens to browse without logging in still use algorithms to show content that might interest them. These algorithms just work in a less personalized manner that can be adjusted based on age. Meta said it will keep following Australian law but wants government officials to work with tech companies to find a different solution.

“We call on the Australian government to engage with industry constructively to find a better way forward, such as incentivising all of industry to raise the standard in providing safe, privacy-preserving, age-appropriate experiences online, instead of blanket bans,” the company stated. The Australian government approved the minimum age requirement in 2024, aiming to shield young people from targeted algorithms and damaging content on social platforms.

Meanwhile, companies that fail to take “reasonable steps” to keep users under 16 off their sites face penalties reaching $50 million. The ban applies to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, Threads, and Kick. The eSafety Commission, which makes sure companies follow the age limit, has said it could add other social platforms to the list if they meet the ban requirements.

The Bitcoin network mining sector experienced the first difficulty adjustment of 2026. This adjustment was observed after the sector announced a slight ease of mining difficulty to a record of 146.4 trillion on Thursday, January 8.

During this incident, CoinWarz, a long-standing crypto platform (since 2013) offering essential tools for miners, shared its prediction, urging miners to expect the next adjustment to take place on January 22, 2026, at 04:08:12 AM UTC. However, different from the recent adjustment, this forecasted one is anticipated to raise Bitcoin mining difficulty from a record of 146.47 trillion to 148.20 trillion.

Bitcoin mining difficulty slows after 2025 jump

In attempts to explain the rise, analysts conducted research and discovered that the average block times were recorded at 9.88 minutes, slightly below the set target of 10 minutes. With this finding, they asserted that the next adjustment could lead to a surge in difficulty, aligning more closely with the target time.

Reports in 2025 showed that the Bitcoin mining difficulty skyrocketed to new all-time highs, with a slight increase experienced in the last adjustment of that year. Interestingly, even after this increase was recognized, sources claimed that the difficulty record remained below November’s peak of 155.9 trillion.

At this particular moment, analysts have admitted that Bitcoin miners face significant hardship in generating profits, as margins have greatly shrunk due to the halving event that occurred in April 2024. If block rewards were reduced by half, several key economic factors would be affected.

Later, miners and mining firms reported facing increased pressure from the crypto market decline that began in November. This stress arose when miner hash price drastically decreased below the expected level essential to break even. This price illustrated the anticipated yields for each computing power unit utilized to mine blocks effectively.

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the miner hash price is the expected daily revenue generated per unit of computational power (hashrate), usually measured in dollars per terahash per second per day ($/TH/s/day). Considering the increased uncertainties in the Bitcoin mining sector, miners are considering whether to continue with their operations or halt them.

Spotřebitelé ve Spojených státech uznali, že tlak na ceny výrazně klesl po pozorování, že míra inflace mírně vzrostla během posledních dnů roku 2025.

V důsledku toho několik analytiků předpovědělo, že základní index cen spotřebitelských zboží v prosinci vzroste o 2,7 % ve srovnání s rokem 2024. Pokud jde o předpověď analytiků, zdroje uvedly, že tato prognóza byla mírně nad 2,6% ročním nárůstem zaznamenaným v listopadu. Přesto zprávy prohlásily, že tento rekord ukazuje nejmenší nárůst od začátku roku 2021.

Apple viděl svou akcii prodloužit svou ztrátovou sérii na osm po sobě jdoucích obchodních dnů, i když finanční odborníci z Evercore ISI si myslí, že technologický gigant by mohl věci obrátit, když zveřejní čtvrtletní výsledky koncem tohoto měsíce.

Akcie klesly o 0,8 % v pátek na uzavření na 257,07 USD. Výkonnost představuje osmý den v řadě ztrát, který sahá zpět k 30. prosinci. Pokles není velký, s akciemi kleslými o 6,1 % za tento čas, ale je neobvyklý, že výrobce iPhone vidí takový prodloužený pokles. Tato série odpovídá nejdelší ztrátové sérii Apple od podobného osmiodenního poklesu v květnu, podle údajů Dow Jones Market Data. Pokud akcie klesnou znovu v pondělí, bude to nejdelší ztrátová série od roku 1991.

Úřady ve Francii osvobodily ruského občana, kterého Spojené státy obvinily z účasti na útocích na firmy za účelem výkupného v kryptoměně.

Muž byl vyměněn za francouzského občana, který byl ve vězení v Rusku, místo předání do rukou Spojených států. Tato výměna byla srovnána s případem Grinerové. Daniil Kasatkin, basketbalista z Ruska, který byl minulý rok léto zatčen v Paříži, byl osvobozen a mohl se vrátit do své země. „Kasatkin byl včera večer osvobozen ze vězení. Byl vyslán letadlem a už přistál v Moskvě,“ řekl jeho právník Frédéric Belot.

Coinbase has announced the addition of copper and platinum futures trading on its application. The development came after its CEO, Brian Armstrong, said the exchange has plans to make Coinbase a platform where everything can be exchanged.

According to the post shared on the official Coinbase handle on X, users on the exchange will be able to trade copper and platinum futures from January 26, making them the latest addition to its commodities futures suite, which already offers gold, silver, and oil. The futures contract for both metals will be facilitated by Coinbase Derivatives and available to both retail traders and institutional whales via approved FCM partners listed on the derivatives site.

Coinbase debuts copper and platinum futures trading

The move aligns with Coinbase’s broader push to become an “everything exchange.” The company has been working overtime to achieve this, making major investments in product quality and automation to support the expansion. In addition, the plan also positions Coinbase as a rival of traditional brokerages even as it expands beyond its core digital asset business.

Additionally, Coinbase is planning to expand into tokenized securities and event-based markets that have attracted billions in recent trading volume. However, it is important to note that Coinbase is not the only exchange doing something like this. Bitget and Binance recently made similar announcements, dipping their toes into traditional commodity derivatives.

Last December, Bitget deployed a private beta for “Bitget TradFi,” which saw it offer CFD-style trading of precious metals like gold or silver, commodities, forex, indices, and stocks, all to be settled in USDT directly via the exchange. The initiative became fully public this year with 79 instruments available. This week, Binance launched regulated USDT-settled perpetual futures for gold and silver under what it tagged a new TradFi category.

In the future, there are plans to expand to other traditional assets, including crude oil and equity indices. News of the new additions to Coinbase exchange’s commodities stack comes just as Bank of America (BofA) upgraded its Coinbase (COIN) to a “buy” rating, citing the exchange’s ambition, which has gone beyond crypto trading and its increasingly diversified business model.

United States President Donald Trump has stated that he will not issue a pardon to Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO serving 25 years in prison for his role in the FTX exchange collapse.

Trump made this known in an interview with The New York Times on Thursday. The president also ruled out pardons for music producer Sean Combs and former New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez. Bankman-Fried, often called by his initials SBF, has been locked up since August 2023 after a federal judge took away his bail ahead of his criminal trial.

Donald Trump will not issue a pardon to SBF

During the same conversation, Trump responded to questions about possible conflicts of interest involving the cryptocurrency business. The president and members of his family have ties to American Bitcoin, a company that mines Bitcoin, and World Liberty Financial, which runs the USD1 stablecoin. Trump also has his own digital token called Official Trump, currently trading at $5.36. “I got a lot of votes because I backed crypto, and I got to like it,” Trump said.

A judge handed Bankman-Fried his 25-year prison term in March 2024 after a jury found him guilty on seven felony charges. Those charges related to how customer money was mishandled at FTX. Two other former executives got shorter sentences after they made deals with prosecutors. Caroline Ellison, who ran Alameda Research, and Ryan Salame, who was co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, both received less time.

Some reports indicated that Bankman-Fried might have tried to get a pardon from Trump by claiming he had a “good relationship” with Republicans and getting close to conservative personalities like Tucker Carlson. On Polymarket, people betting on whether Trump would pardon SBF before 2027 only put the odds at 6%. Meanwhile, Trump has given pardons to other people connected to the crypto world.

In January, soon after he started his term, he pardoned Ross Ulbricht, who founded the Silk Road marketplace. Trump also surprised many in October by pardoning Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, who used to run Binance and served four months in prison. Trump later said he did not know Zhao. Even though a pardon from Trump is off the table, Bankman-Fried still has ways to challenge his conviction and sentence through the courts.

In November, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit listened to arguments from SBF’s lawyers who want to overturn the former CEO’s conviction. As of Thursday, the court had not posted any decision to the public record, but a ruling is expected at some point. If the appeals court says no, Bankman-Fried could take one final shot by asking the Supreme Court to review his case.

By 2025, with the US policy in support of the stablecoin, the transactions of stablecoins have surged to 33 trillion. 

Stablecoin transactions proliferated in institutions and retail users with more transparent guidance.

The volume of transactions in stablecoins increased by 72% annually, indicating a high demand for dollar-related digital currencies. Analysts associate the expansion with regulatory assurance and more widespread acceptance in standard finance.

Stablecoin transactions driven by regulatory clarity

The momentum of stablecoin transactions has been boosted following the improvement of a pro-crypto approach by the United States in 2025. In July, with the introduction of the GENIUS Act, a clear procedure for the issuance and control of stablecoins was established.

According to what was said by market participants, the rules made it possible to lower the compliance risks of firms and financial institutions. The move prompted companies to add stablecoins to their payments, treasury management, and settlement systems.

A number of international firms indicated that they were planning to introduce proprietary stablecoins. According to industry disclosures, these are Standard Chartered, Walmart, and Amazon.

World Liberty Financial Inc. is a DeFi platform associated with the Trump family, which released a USD1 stablecoin in March. According to analysts, these launches helped in increasing the volumes of transactions in the year.

USDC leads stablecoin transactions while USDT dominates supply

In 2025, USDC reported an approximate of 18.3 trillion in transactions of stablecoin. In common with approximately $13.3 trillion of transaction volume, Tether USDT came next.

The two assets combined formed the majority of the stablecoin business. Nonetheless, their market functions varied according to the usage trends.

According to the CoinGecko statistics, USDT was still the largest stablecoin in terms of market value. Its overall circulation amounted to approximately, $187 billion as compared to the USDC market worth of approximately 75 billion.

The data provided by Artemis had emphasized the fact that USDC was at the top of transactions despite poor circulation. The analysts reported that USDC is mostly applied by traders who exchange money frequently.

Artemis co-founder Anthony Yim said that the same stablecoin is recycled by DeFi traders. He further mentioned that USDT is typically ussed as a payment or a store of value.

Global adoption rises as firms and users shift behavior

In 2025, analysts noticed a decrease in the use of stablecoins on the decentralized platform. This trend implied the use in mainstream financial environments.

According to Yim, the instability in the world was forcing users into assets that were dollar-based. He observed that stablecoins provide easier access to US dollars in economies affected by inflation.

The Chief Strategy Officer of Circle Dante Disparte stated that regulation increased confidence in USDC. He argued that the rules increased liquidity and trust worldwide.

Tether did not respond to the findings. A representative of Artemis said that Tether has less than one percent of the company.

A record high in stablecoin transactions occurred in 2025, with the change of adoption conditioned by the policy clarity. Analysts believe that stablecoins will continue to play a key role in the digital finance sector.

San Francisco, 8. ledna 2026 — Zerion, vůdce mezi více řetězci peněženkami a platformami s daty Web3, dnes oznámil strategickou integraci sítě TRON do své platformy více řetězcových peněženek. Tato významná aktualizace umožňuje uživatelům spravovat, sledovat a obchodovat digitální aktiva v síti TRON prostřednictvím bezpečného, samoobslužného rozhraní Zerion, což znamená významný krok při rozšíření přístupu k jedné z nejaktivnějších světových ekosystémů Web3. 

Tato integrace uznává klíčovou roli TRONu jako základu globální aktivity s stabilními mincemi a infrastruktury pro platby a settlement. Přidáním podpory pro TRON můžou uživatelé využít vysokou rychlost a nízké transakční náklady, které z TRONu učinily přední síť pro každodenní kryptoplatby a likviditu stabilních mincí. TRON v současnosti hostuje více než 80 miliard USD v oběhu stabilních mincí a slouží více než 357 milionům uživatelských účtů, přičemž zpracovává více než 12 miliard transakcí celkem. 

V roce 2026 je trh s Bitcoinem v typické fázi obnovy. I když se ceny stále zvyšují od minim, jsou opakovaně testovány klíčové technické odporové oblasti, aniž by došlo k významnému průlomu. Nastavuje se postupně z extrémního pesimismu do opatrné naděje, a boj mezi byky a medvědy se zvyšuje. V tomto kontextu se zvyšuje krátkodobá nejistota a zajištění stabilního příjmu v nejistém trhu se stává klíčovou prioritou pro investory.

Anchor Mining s jeho stabilním denním příjmem 3 697 USD poskytuje investorem účinný způsob, jak získat kapitál před dalším trhovým růstem, což ukazuje jeho jedinečnou hodnotu.

Geneva, Switzerland, January 8, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), welcomes the recognition of the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU) in a recent report published by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). As a global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, FATF helps set international standards and drive policy aimed to prevent these illegal activities and the harm they cause to society through national legislative and regulatory reforms. In its latest publication, FATF recognized the T3 FCU as a prime example of an effective public-private collaboration to combat illicit activity on the blockchain, highlighting the initiative’s comprehensive monitoring capability, which enables T3 FCU to work across borders, identifying and disrupting criminal operations in real-time, making it an invaluable resource for law enforcement agencies worldwide.

T3 FCU is a first-of-its-kind public-private initiative launched by TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs in September 2024 to combat illicit activities on the blockchain. This groundbreaking public-private partnership works directly with law enforcement agencies around the globe to identify and disrupt criminal networks. Since its inception, and in just over one year, T3 FCU has frozen more than $300 million in criminal assets across five continents, established rapid response capabilities to address threats, and demonstrated how industry collaboration can effectively combat financial crime while supporting blockchain innovation. 

In its report, the Financial Action Task Force noted that the T3 FCU “is designed to expand public-private collaboration to combat illicit activities on the blockchain” and highlighted the unit’s role in supporting law enforcement efforts across multiple jurisdictions. The report further detailed that, since its launch in September 2024, T3 FCU has analyzed millions of transactions globally, monitored more than $3 billion USD in total volume, and supported the freezing of over $250 million USD in illicit assets.

“FATF’s recognition of the T3 Financial Crime Unit reflects a real shift in how illicit finance on public blockchains is being addressed,” said Ari Redbord, VP, Global Head of Policy and Government Affairs at TRM Labs. “Criminal networks move fast, and effective responses have to move faster. T3 was built to enable rapid identification, seizure, and disruption of illicit activity. This is not about information sharing alone — it’s about coordinated action. T3 shows how law enforcement, stablecoin issuers, and blockchain intelligence can work together to stop harm quickly, at scale, and in ways that were not possible before.”

In a recent blog post examining the FATF’s asset recovery guidance and best practices, TRM Labs notes a shift toward real-time interdiction, observing that traditional post-investigation recovery models are increasingly ineffective for fast-moving virtual assets. It emphasizes the importance of coordinated public-private action, supported by blockchain intelligence and close collaboration among law enforcement, virtual asset service providers, and stablecoin issuers, to identify, restrain, and disrupt illicit funds before they can be dispersed, underscoring the growing role of operational models that enable timely cross-border enforcement.

The FATF’s recognition affirms T3 FCU as an industry-first model of how blockchain-based systems can reinforce global financial integrity through structured collaboration with public authorities. It further reinforces TRON DAO’s commitment to responsible blockchain adoption and effective financial crime prevention, serving as meaningful validation of coordinated, cross-sector efforts to address illicit activity at scale as regulators continue to evaluate the role of public blockchains in the global financial system.

CEO společnosti Kalshi Tarek Mansour vyjádřil svůj podporu novému zákonu předloženému demokratickým zástupcem Ritchiem Torresem (D-N.Y.), který má zakázat obchodování na základě nezveřejněných informací na predikčních platformách, zejména u úředníků vlády s přístupem k soukromým informacím.

Podle zpráv CEO zveřejnil příspěvek na LinkedIn ve středu 7. ledna, ve kterém uvedl, že „Kalshi podporuje zákon, který plánuje předložit Ritchie Torres, aby posílil zákaz obchodování na základě nezveřejněných informací na predikčních trzích.“ Tato situace vedla k tomu, že média kontaktovala průmyslového činného osobního představitele, aby získalo vysvětlení k této rozhodnutí. Na žádost o komentář Mansour uvedl, že americká webová platforma pro predikční sázky podporuje nový zákon Torresa, protože už tuto regulaci zavedli.

BNB Smart Chain is preparing for the Fermi hard fork on January 14. The upgrade comes after the Fourier hard fork on BNB Chain, which was completed on January 7.

BNB Smart Chain will follow the overall upgrade of the Binance decentralized ecosystem. The Fermi hard fork is expected on January 14, with the main goal of decreasing block time and increasing transaction output. The hard fork will accelerate BNB Smart Chain to 0.45-second blocks, reaching a major protocol milestone. It builds on previous Pascal and Maxwell forks.

BNB Smart Chain prepares for the Fermi hard fork

The upgrade will push BNB Smart Chain closer to the limits of block propagation, retaining predictable uptime with a higher transaction load. Nodes will upgrade to version 1.6.4 and later 1.6.5 to run the updated network parameters. The BNB decentralized ecosystem gave way to Solana in terms of popularity, but remained a staple in trading and other apps.

As reported by Cryptopolitan, BNB Chain is fourth in terms of app revenues, standing behind Solana, TRON, and Ethereum. The chain moved ahead of Base, with $21M in revenues for the past month. The Opinion prediction market, GMGN perpetual futures DEX, and PancakeSwap are the biggest fee generators on the chain. Op BNB Chain also completed its hard fork, coming into force on January 7.

The fork’s key change was PR #305, decreasing block time from 500 to 250 milliseconds. All nodes are upgraded to propagate the new blocks. Op BNB Chain is one of the main Layer 2 networks, working to scale the overall ecosystem. BNB Chain remains one of the most active networks, retaining relatively low transaction fees.

Despite the leadership of Ethereum and Solana in terms of liquidity and trading value, BNB Chain leads in market share based on transactions and general on-chain activity. The Binance on-chain ecosystem accounts for up to 40% of overall traffic in early 2026. The increased demand was one of the main drivers for the network upgrades. BNB Chain and BNB Smart Chain carry a growing ecosystem of decentralized swaps, DeFi, wrapped tokens, and other apps.
