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.

Konsumen Amerika Serikat mengakui bahwa tekanan harga telah menurun secara signifikan setelah melihat bahwa tingkat inflasi sedikit meningkat seiring berakhirnya hari-hari terakhir tahun 2025.

Sebagai hasilnya, beberapa analis memperkirakan bahwa indeks harga konsumen inti akan melonjak 2,7% pada bulan Desember dibandingkan dengan tahun 2024. Mengenai perkiraan analis tersebut, sumber mengklaim bahwa perkiraan ini sedikit di atas kenaikan tahunan 2,6% yang tercatat pada bulan November. Namun demikian, laporan menyatakan bahwa rekor ini menunjukkan kenaikan terkecil sejak awal tahun 2021.

Apple telah melihat sahamnya memperpanjang streak kekalahan menjadi delapan sesi perdagangan berturut-turut, meskipun para ahli keuangan di Evercore ISI berpendapat bahwa raksasa teknologi ini bisa memperbaiki keadaan saat merilis hasil kuartalan akhir bulan ini.

Saham turun 0.8% pada hari Jumat dan ditutup pada $257.07. Kinerja ini merupakan hari kedelapan berturut-turut mengalami kerugian sejak 30 Desember. Penurunan ini tidak terlalu besar, dengan saham turun hanya 6,1% selama periode tersebut, tetapi hal ini sangat tidak biasa bagi pembuat iPhone untuk mengalami penurunan berkepanjangan seperti ini. Rentetan ini sejalan dengan streak kekalahan terpanjang Apple sejak penurunan delapan hari serupa pada bulan Mei, menurut data pasar Dow Jones. Jika saham turun lagi pada Senin, ini akan menjadi streak kekalahan terpanjang sejak tahun 1991.

Otoritas di Prancis telah melepaskan seorang warga negara Rusia yang dituduh oleh Amerika Serikat atas partisipasinya dalam serangan peretasan terhadap perusahaan untuk mendapatkan tebusan dalam kripto mata uang.

Microsoft is introducing a shopping experience within Copilot that uses Stripe to enable users to make purchases within a chat. 

The option allows U.S. consumers to browse and order products without leaving Copilot, which is a move towards AI-based commerce.

Microsoft established that a brand like Etsy and Urban Outfitters will have a built-in checkout flow available to users of Copilot. Its experience is based on the payment infrastructure of Stripe to ensure that transactions are secure and smooth.

Microsoft and Stripe enable chat checkout

Microsoft is introducing a shopping experience within Copilot with Stripe, with a native checkout experience integrated into conversations. A Stripe-powered checkout will be displayed in Copilot when a purchase intent is triggered through a chat.

https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/2009646026907398545?s=20

Stripe claimed that the payment flow is supposed to seem natural and safe. The payment information is entered by the users within the chat itself, without being taken to other websites. Microsoft is using Stripe as a direct payment processor.

It will be based on the Agentic Commerce Protocol, an open AI-driven transaction protocol by Stripe. Once payment details are typed in, Stripe then issues a Shared Payment Token. This enables the payments without having to expose buyer credentials.

Stripe clarified that merchants are the merchant of record and still have access to their customer data. Kevin Miller, the leader of payments at Stripe, explained that AI-based commerce needs new infrastructure, and Stripe is developing it with Microsoft.

Agentic Commerce Protocol supports merchant control

Microsoft is releasing a shopping experience within Copilot, which is a Stripe-based shopping experience, based on the Agentic Commerce Suite. Through the suite, businesses can make their products discoverable by AI agents on platforms.

Stripe stated that the suite enables merchants to handle the checkout, fraud detection, and payments on a single integration. This practice saves on the time spent onboarding and eases operations.

Nayna Sheth, Head of Product in Agentic Payments at Microsoft, stated that the partnership is aimed at a reliable infrastructure that is developed at a rapid rate. She mentioned that it is the aim of seamless discovery and buying in Copilot.

The Agentic Commerce Protocol provides data security for the sensitive buyer information. Shared Payment Tokens enable transactions without allowing direct access to payment credentials.

PayPal and Shopify expand Copilot Commerce

Microsoft is releasing a shopping experience within Copilot that is powered by Stripe, as well as PayPal integration. PayPal accepts merchant inventory, branded checkouts, guest checkouts, and payments with cards.

Michelle Gill, PayPal GM small business and financial services, remarked that the teamwork helps in secure trade between buyers and sellers. She observed that the PayPal agentic commerce tools can supplement the shopping features of Copilot.

Copilot will also bring on board Brand Agents for merchants using Shopify. These agents acquire product catalogs and brand instructions. They assist in providing finer questions about the products and in facilitating brand-based discussions.

It was launched after Stripe had worked on ChatGPT Instant Checkout, which is also based on Agentic Commerce Protocol. Last year, Stripe announced that users in the U.S. started buying the products of Etsy sellers and Shopify store merchants via AI applications.

Will Gaybrick, the Stripe President of Technology and Business, stated that the firm was developing the economic paradigm of AI commerce. The Copilot launch by Microsoft is part of a larger trend in agent-scale transactions.

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.

Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump telah menyatakan bahwa ia tidak akan mengeluarkan pengampunan bagi Sam Bankman-Fried, mantan CEO FTX yang sedang menjalani hukuman 25 tahun penjara karena perannya dalam kegagalan bursa FTX.

Trump membuat hal ini diketahui dalam wawancara dengan The New York Times pada hari Kamis. Presiden juga menolak pengampunan bagi produser musik Sean Combs dan mantan Senator New Jersey Robert Menendez. Bankman-Fried, yang sering disebut dengan inisialnya SBF, telah ditahan sejak Agustus 2023 setelah seorang hakim federal mencabut jaminannya menjelang persidangan pidananya.

Pada tahun 2025, dengan kebijakan AS yang mendukung stablecoin, transaksi stablecoin melonjak menjadi 33 triliun.

Transaksi stablecoin meluas di kalangan institusi dan pengguna ritel dengan panduan yang lebih transparan.

Volume transaksi dalam stablecoin meningkat 72% per tahun, menunjukkan permintaan tinggi terhadap mata uang digital yang terkait dengan dolar AS. Analis mengaitkan ekspansi ini dengan jaminan regulasi dan penerimaan yang lebih luas dalam keuangan standar.

Transaksi stablecoin didorong oleh kejelasan regulasi

San Francisco, 8 Januari 2026 — Zerion, sebuah platform dompet multi-chain dan data Web3 terkemuka, hari ini mengumumkan integrasi strategis jaringan TRON ke dalam platform dompet multi-chain-nya. Pembaruan besar ini memungkinkan pengguna mengelola, melacak, dan menukar aset digital di jaringan TRON melalui antarmuka aman dan self-custodial Zerion, menandai tonggak penting dalam memperluas akses ke salah satu ekosistem Web3 paling aktif di dunia.

Integrasi ini mengakui peran krusial TRON sebagai tulang punggung aktivitas stablecoin global dan infrastruktur penyelesaian pembayaran. Dengan menambahkan dukungan untuk TRON, Zerion memungkinkan pengguna memanfaatkan kecepatan tinggi dan biaya transaksi rendah yang telah menjadikan TRON sebagai jaringan utama untuk pembayaran kripto harian dan likuiditas stablecoin. Saat ini, TRON memfasilitasi lebih dari 80 miliar dolar dalam jumlah stablecoin yang beredar dan melayani lebih dari 357 juta akun pengguna, dengan volume transaksi total melebihi 12 miliar.

Pada tahun 2026, pasar Bitcoin berada dalam fase pemulihan khas. Meskipun harga terus naik dari level terendah, area resistensi teknis utama terus diuji berulang kali tanpa breakout signifikan. Sentimen pasar secara perlahan berubah dari pesimisme ekstrem menjadi optimisme hati-hati, dan pertarungan antara pembeli dan penjual semakin memanas. Dalam latar belakang ini, ketidakpastian jangka pendek meningkat, dan memastikan aliran kas yang stabil di pasar yang tidak jelas telah menjadi fokus utama bagi para investor.

Anchor Mining, dengan pengembalian harian yang stabil sebesar $3.697, memberikan cara efektif bagi para investor untuk mengumpulkan modal sebelum pasar bull berikutnya, menunjukkan nilai uniknya.

Geneva, Swiss, 8 Januari 2026 — TRON DAO, DAO yang dikelola komunitas yang berdedikasi untuk mempercepat desentralisasi internet melalui teknologi blockchain dan aplikasi terdesentralisasi (dApps), menyambut pengakuan terhadap Unit Kejahatan Keuangan T3 (T3 FCU) dalam laporan terbaru yang diterbitkan oleh Task Force Aksi Keuangan (FATF). Sebagai pengawas global terhadap pencucian uang dan pendanaan terorisme, FATF membantu menetapkan standar internasional dan mendorong kebijakan yang bertujuan mencegah aktivitas ilegal ini serta dampak buruknya terhadap masyarakat melalui reformasi legislatif dan regulasi nasional. Dalam publikasi terbarunya, FATF mengakui T3 FCU sebagai contoh utama kolaborasi publik-swasta yang efektif dalam memerangi aktivitas ilegal di blockchain, menyoroti kemampuan pemantauan menyeluruh inisiatif ini, yang memungkinkan T3 FCU bekerja lintas batas, mengidentifikasi dan menghentikan operasi kriminal secara real-time, menjadikannya sumber daya yang tak ternilai bagi badan penegak hukum di seluruh dunia.

Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour has expressed his support for the new bill introduced by Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) aimed at banning insider trading on prediction platforms, particularly by government officials with access to private information.

According to reports, the CEO shared a post on LinkedIn on Wednesday, January 7, noting that, “Kalshi backs the bill that Ritchie Torres plans to introduce to reinforce the ban on insider trading in prediction markets.” This situation prompted reports to reach out to the industry executive for clarification on this decision. Responding to this request for comment, Mansour declared that the American web-based prediction betting platform supports Torres’ new bill because they already effected this regulation.

Kalshi CEO shows support for bill targeting insider trading risks

The United States Representative’s new bill was submitted earlier this month. This regulation prohibits federal elected officials, political appointees, and executive branch employees from participating in bets related to government policy, government action, or political outcomes on prediction market platforms. The Representative suggested it after reports showed that some insiders bet on the events in Venezuela before they happened.

According to several reports, an anonymous user placed a bet that the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, would be demoted from his position by the end of January on the world’s largest prediction market, Polymarket. After the bet was placed, reports said US authorities captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, with prosecutors alleging the pair was involved in a cocaine-trafficking conspiracy. They had ties to cartels designated as terrorist organizations.

As a result, the user collected a total of around $400,000. This incident raised concerns, as the government illustrated a likelihood that some insiders have direct access to confidential information. Meanwhile, to illustrate Mansour’s strong commitment to fostering change on prediction market platforms, the industry executive noted in his LinkedIn message his intention to reduce Kalshi’s connections with other prediction market platforms involved in insider trading cases.

However, the CEO did not unveil the names of these prediction market platforms. Concerning the news about firms facing insider trading accusations, Mansour argued that there is a possibility that some recently released announcements from reports have confused unregulated and regulated prediction markets that operate outside the United States.

“What non-American, unregulated platforms do has no connection to what regulated American platforms do,” he said. When asked to outline the strategy Kalshi applies to its operation, Mansour began by stating that Kalshi is a federally regulated platform. Afterwards, he highlighted that the prediction market platform strictly adheres to the same insider trading regulations as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.

He added that the platform restricts users from conducting trades when they are suspected of having access to confidential information regarding a market. Mansour declared that Torres’ new bill only impacts US-based firms that are regulated, not those that are unregulated and situated outside the US. According to him, these unregulated companies located outside the US encounter significant challenges.

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.
