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.

アメリカの消費者は、2025年の最終日が迫る中でインフレ率がわずかに上昇したことを観察した結果、価格圧力が著しく低下したと認めた。

結果として、複数のアナリストは、2024年12月にコア消費者物価指数が2.7％上昇すると予測した。アナリストの予測に関して、情報筋は、この予測は11月に記録された2.6％の年間上昇率をわずかに上回っていると述べた。しかし、報道によれば、この記録は2021年初頭以来最も低い上昇率を示している。

アップルは、株価が連続8営業日間の下落を続けたが、エバーコアISIの金融専門家たちは、今月後半に四半期決算を発表する際、状況が好転する可能性があると考えている。

金曜日に株価は0.8％下落し、終値は257.07ドルとなった。この動きは12月30日から続く連続8日間の下落を意味する。下落幅はそれほど大きくなく、この期間で株価はわずか6.1％低下しているが、iPhoneメーカーがこのような長期的な下落を経験するのは異例である。ダウジョーンズ市場データによると、この動きは5月に観察された類似の8日間の下落と一致する。月曜日にさらに下落すれば、1991年以来最長の下落ストリークとなる。

フランスの当局は、米国が暗号通貨でのランサム攻撃に対する企業へのハッキング攻撃に参加したとして指名したロシア国籍の人物を釈放した。

この人物は、米国に引き渡される代わりに、ロシアの拘束下にあったフランス国籍の人物と引き換えられた。この交換はグリナー事件と比較されている。先月夏、パリで逮捕されたロシアのバスケットボール選手であるダニール・カサトキンは、釈放され、母国へ戻るための飛行機に乗った。 「カサトキンは昨夜、刑務所から釈放された。彼は飛行機に乗り込み、すでにモスクワに到着している」と、彼の弁護士フレデリック・ベロは述べた。

XRP価格予測：3億2500万枚のホエール蓄積は、NAPハッシュクラウドマイニングを通じて1日1万8700ドルの受動的収入を得る投資家たちに楽観的な市場センチメントを示唆。最近のオンチェーンデータによると、XRPホエールの活動が増加しており、価格の調整期に大口保有者が積極的に購入を進めている。高額取引の増加は、今や3か月ぶりの高水準に達しており、主要市場参加者がXRPの短期～中期的な上昇を確信していることを示唆している。これにより、XRPの価格見通しに対する注目が再び高まっている。

Stablecoin cards are emerging as a defining force in crypto payments in 2026, according to Dragonfly Management. 

Stablecoin cards are gaining traction as volumes rise, funding grows, and regulation improves worldwide.

A senior Dragonfly executive said these cards are spreading fast across regions. He linked the trend to deeper crypto integration within everyday payment systems.

Stablecoin transaction growth supports card expansion

Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, shared his view on X. He said stablecoin-powered cards are growing rapidly across global markets.

The comments followed new data showing sharp growth in stablecoin activity. Transaction volumes climbed 72% to $33 trillion, based on Artemis Analytics figures.

Policy support in the United States has helped drive this growth. President Donald Trump has maintained a pro-crypto stance that encouraged adoption.

Qureshi argued that stablecoins now play a growing role in global payment flows. He said users increasingly interact with crypto without realizing it.

Rain funding highlights rising investor confidence

Qureshi highlighted Rain as a fast-growing fintech firm. His remarks followed Rain’s $250 million funding round, which valued the company at $1.95 billion.

Dragonfly joined the round alongside ICONIQ, Sapphire Ventures, Bessemer, Lightspeed, and Galaxy Ventures. The investment reflects strong confidence in stablecoin payment infrastructure.

Rain enables partners to issue stablecoin-backed cards on the Visa network. Users can spend, withdraw cash, and access basic banking services.

The cards are accepted in more than 150 countries. They support stablecoins like USDT and USDC across multiple blockchains.

Rain’s services target regions with unstable local currencies. Users can transact in dollars with minimal friction.

Qureshi said many users focus on usability, not the underlying technology. He noted that payments work seamlessly across borders.

Rain CEO Farooq Malik said the funding supports regulatory engagement. The firm plans to expand across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Debate continues over incentives and regulation

Despite strong growth, some analysts remain cautious. Sheel Mohnot of Better Tomorrow Ventures questioned long-term adoption.

He argued stablecoin payments lack exclusivity and strong consumer incentives. He said existing card systems already meet most needs in developed markets.

Other investors disagree with this view. Pantera Capital’s Mason Nystrom said stablecoins offer faster payouts and better merchant protections.

Regulatory momentum is also building. The US passed the GENIUS Act, which clarified stablecoin rules.

Canada and the UK are advancing similar frameworks. Institutional interest is also rising.

Western Union plans a stablecoin settlement system on Solana. It also plans a stablecoin card for emerging markets in early 2026.

Stablecoin cards continue to attract capital, users, and regulatory attention. Supporters see them reshaping payments, while critics question incentives. The trend remains one of the most-watched themes in crypto for 2026.

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.

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.

In 2026, the Bitcoin market is in a typical recovery phase. Although prices have continued to rise from lows, key technical resistance areas are being repeatedly tested, with no significant breakout yet. Market sentiment is gradually shifting from extreme pessimism to cautious optimism, and the battle between bulls and bears is intensifying. Against this backdrop, short-term uncertainty is increasing, and ensuring a stable cash flow in an unclear market has become a key focus for investors.

Anchor Mining, with its stable daily return of $3,697, provides investors with an effective way to accumulate capital before the next bull market, demonstrating its unique value.

The blockchain network operates stably, unaffected by market fluctuations.

Regardless of Bitcoin price fluctuations, the blockchain network remains stable. From block packaging to hash power competition, mining rewards are distributed according to the protocol—this has never changed. Compared to traditional investment strategies that rely on price increases, mining returns offer a degree of sustainability and reliability, making it an effective option in the current market. While prices are still testing resistance, this hashrate-based return model not only carries lower risk but also allows for the accumulation of stable returns in a relatively calm market.

Anchor Mining: Hashrate Bonanza During the Recovery Phase

Through innovative cloud computing technology, Anchor Mining eliminates the complexity and high barriers to entry associated with traditional mining, simplifying it into transparent and easy-to-use standardized contracts. Users don’t need to purchase equipment or worry about energy or maintenance costs; they can easily participate in mainstream cryptocurrency mining simply by choosing a suitable hashrate contract.

In the current phase of BTC’s recovery trend but before breaking through key resistance, Anchor Mining’s core advantages are particularly prominent:

1. Stable Hashrate Output: Unaffected by short-term price fluctuations, hashrate operates 24/7.

2. AI Dynamic Scheduling: Automatically optimizes the return path based on network difficulty, block rewards, and hashrate efficiency.

3. Global Mining Farm Deployment: Diversifies risk and reduces the impact of policy or energy fluctuations in a single region. 4. Green Energy Driven: Effectively controls long-term costs and enhances profit stability.

Many users have achieved stable daily profits of around $3,697 by configuring reasonable hashrate contracts, paving the way for the upcoming bull market.

Why is the Resistance Testing Period a Prime Window for Positioning?

Historically, every major Bitcoin bull market typically goes through several distinct phases: significant pullback, low-level consolidation, recovery rebound, resistance testing, and finally, a breakout leading to the main upward wave. Currently, Bitcoin is in the third phase—the rebound and resistance testing cycle. Therefore, many investors choose to accumulate funds through hashrate deployment during this period for the following reasons:

1. Profits are independent of price movements, eliminating the need to wait for breakout confirmation.

2. Less competition for hashrate, resulting in the highest relative efficiency.

3. Steadily acquiring funds and adding capital before the bull market begins.

Instead of chasing the price after the bull market has started, it’s better to utilize this window of opportunity to prepare for the next phase through mining profits.

スイス・ジェネヴァ、2026年1月8日 — TRON DAOは、ブロックチェーン技術および分散型アプリケーション（dApps）を通じてインターネットの分散化を加速することに尽力するコミュニティ主導のDAOとして、国際的なマネーロンダリングおよびテロ資金調達監視機関である金融行動作戦部会（FATF）が最近発表した報告書においてT3金融犯罪ユニット（T3 FCU）の認識を歓迎します。FATFは、国際的な基準を設定し、国家の立法および規制改革を通じて、これらの違法活動とそれによって引き起こされる社会への被害を防止するための政策を推進しています。最新の出版物では、T3 FCUがブロックチェーン上の違法活動と戦うための効果的な公私連携の模範と認められ、その包括的な監視能力により、国境を越えてリアルタイムで犯罪活動を特定・阻止できる点が強調されています。このため、T3 FCUは世界中の法執行機関にとって貴重な資源となっています。

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.

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.
