Donald Trump delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Key points:

Congress is working on regulating the structure of the cryptocurrency market (the CLARITY Act).

Trump declared that the U.S. has defeated inflation and achieved the fastest economic turnaround in the country’s history. The economy is growing faster than IMF forecasts. U.S. manufacturing is expanding, and the trade deficit is shrinking due to tariffs.

The United States sees itself as the engine of the global economy: U.S. growth equals global growth. Europe, he said, is moving in the wrong direction.

The U.S. is strengthening its energy policy, including cooperation with Venezuela on oil, with the goal of reducing gasoline prices to below $2 per gallon.

The launch of nuclear reactors has been approved, and nuclear energy was described as safe.

In the field of artificial intelligence, the U.S. is ahead of China.

The U.S. is imposing tariffs to protect its economy.

Greenland is described as a key strategic location that currently lacks adequate protection. The U.S. wants to purchase Greenland.

Donald Trump stated that he is in talks with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizing that all parties are interested in reaching agreements.

Donald Trump a susținut un discurs la Forumul Economic Mondial de la Davos. Puncte cheie:

Congresul lucrează la reglementarea structurii pieței criptomonedelor (Legea CLARITY).

Trump a declarat că U.S. a învins inflația și a realizat cea mai rapidă revenire economică din istoria țării. Economia crește mai repede decât previziunile FMI. Producția în U.S. se extinde, iar deficitul comercial se micșorează datorită tarifelor.

Statele Unite se văd ca motorul economiei globale: creșterea U.S. este egală cu creșterea globală. Europa, a spus el, se îndreaptă în direcția greșită.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has announced February 2, 2026 as the record date for its upcoming digital token initiative. Shareholders who hold at least one whole share of DJT stock as of that date will be eligible to receive digital tokens and related incentives, according to a company announcement reported by Street Insider.

The initiative marks Trump Media’s latest step into blockchain-based shareholder engagement, following earlier signals that the company was exploring tokenized rewards tied to its ecosystem.

Eligibility Depends on Shareholder Status and Broker Reporting

According to the company, eligibility will be limited to ultimate beneficial owners and registered holders of DJT shares on the record date. Trump Media stated it will work with brokerage participants to collect shareholder information, but warned that certain designations—specifically objecting beneficial owner (OBO) status—could delay or prevent timely data sharing.

As a result, the company advised shareholders to confirm their status with their brokers or consider direct registration of shares to ensure inclusion in the token allocation process.

Crypto.com to Handle Token Minting and Custody

Following the February 2 record date, Trump Media plans to partner with Crypto.com to mint the digital tokens, record them on the blockchain, and custody the assets ahead of distribution. The company said additional details regarding allocation mechanics and timelines will be released at a later stage.

Trump Media also reiterated that the digital tokens will not represent equity ownership, will not be transferable, and cannot be exchanged for cash. Only shareholders holding DJT shares outright—as opposed to stock borrowers—will qualify.

As previously disclosed, the company expects to roll out periodic rewards throughout the year for eligible shareholders. These may include discounts or benefits linked to Trump Media products such as Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth Predict.

Trump Media CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said:

“We look forward to leveraging Crypto.com’s blockchain technology consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance to benefit our shareholders and promote transparency, including by obtaining a clear picture of bona fide beneficial ownership as of the record date.”

Trump Media & Technology Group is a U.S.-based media and technology company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida. It operates the Truth Social platform and is majority-owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.

Представители BlackRock, JP Morgan, Mastercard и политики собрались на третьем ежегодном лондонском форуме по цифровым активам, чтобы оценить развитие институциональной сети в мире в рамках новой британской криптоструктурной политики.

Великобритания, Великобритания – После вступления в силу новой системы криптоактивов (CARF) HMRC 1 января мировые финансовые институты, политика и руководители финансовых компаний соберутся на 3-м ежегодном лондонском лондонском форуме по цифровым активам (DAF3), чтобы оценить, насколько ясно регулируют развитие цифровых активов в Великобритании.

«В 2025 году Лондон сохранит свои позиции финансового центра, сократив отставание от лидера Нью-Йорка всего до одного пункта в Глобальном индексе финансовых центров », — заявила Виктория Гаго , соучредитель DAF. « Благодаря своей истории как Центра финансовых инноваций и развивающейся нормативно-правовой среды Лондон создает благодатную почву для процветания климата в традиционных финансах. DAF3 станет ведущей площадкой для развития межсекторального партнерства, которая будет способствовать дальнейшему развитию международного сотрудничества в 2026 году».

В этом году, несмотря на стремительный рост институционального замедления экономики, DAF3 пройдет в течение двух дней и заключит сессию, посвященную политике и регулированию, токенизации, DeFi и тому подобному, как институциональные инвесторы осваивают пространство цифровых активов. Эксперты области собираются в Лондоне, чтобы обсудить перспективы на предстоящий год.

В числе спикеров мероприятия: Нихил Шарма из BlackRock; Эмма Ловетт из JP Morgan; Пол Уортингтон из Stripe; Доротея Исенбург из Mastercard; Тим Грант из Deus X Capital и Стани Кулечов из Aave.

Возобновившийся рост лондонского рынка распространяется не только на традиционные рынки, но и на цифровые активы. В 2025 году индекс FTSE превзошёл S&P , а Великобритания укрепила свои позиции в ведущем Европейском центре цифровых активов, на её долю приходится более региональных экспертов по мере развития, а уровень развития криптовалюты достигает 24% взрослого населения .

В недавнем отчете Barclays Bank 2026 год был назван «годом жесткого регулирования», поскольку цифровые активы принимаются под юрисдикцией традиционных финансовых учреждений, и начиная с 1 января этого года британские налоговые резиденты должны будут декларировать свои доходы от криптовалюты в качестве прироста капитала. Эта стандартизация открывает путь к усилению институциональной поддержки цифровых активов, и Управление по финансовому регулированию и надзору (FCA) заявило о своем намерении открыть регуляторную песочницу для использования денежных средств в стейблкоинах. 

Сделки, ориентированные на корпоративные и институциональные модели, составляют более 70% инвестиций в цифровые активы в Великобритании. Эта тенденция сохраняется, поскольку институциональные инвесторы готовы воспользоваться преимуществами регуляторной определенности и регуляторной песочницы, что имеет место в сфере финтех-компаний. Трансатлантическая целевая группа по рынкам будущего также обещает более глубокую интеграцию между рынками капитала США и Великобритании, а также первый раунд ее рекомендаций по управлению в марте. 

Помимо контента, Форум цифровых активов задуман как форум для руководителей высшего звена, ориентированный на практические результаты. В дополнение к основным дискуссиям на главной сцене мероприятие включает в себя помещения для небольших, целенаправленных сессий, две комнаты для индивидуальных встреч, а также отдельное пространство для пресс-брифингов и интервью со СМИ. 

Повестка дня, подбор оборудования и форм разработан таким образом, чтобы позволить руководителям высшего звена проводить стратегии, развивать партнерские отношения и продвигать инициативы в доверительной среде, где интересы организации стоят на первом месте.

Astăzi suntem alături de Sergey Maslov — un expert în crypto și profesionist în tehnologie cu peste 20 de ani de experiență în IT și 8 ani în industria crypto. Sergey a lucrat anterior la Binance și a colaborat cu multiple proiecte ca CTO, lider tehnic și consultant.

În acest interviu, discutăm despre latura reală a crypto — partea care rareori ajunge în feed-urile oamenilor: cum funcționează de fapt infrastructura de schimb centralizat, de ce apar prăbușiri rapide și cascade de lichidare, ce este ADL și ce obiceiuri te ajută să eviți urmărirea „x-urilor norocoase” — și în schimb să supraviețuiești și să crești în crypto pe termen lung.

Makina Protocol has been exploited for approximately 1,299 ETH ($4.13 million), according to onchain security analysts.

Blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that the attacker was front-run by an MEV builder address. The stolen funds are currently held across two wallets with ~$3.3M and ~$880K on each.

Makina confirmed the incident on X and stated the exploit appears limited in scope.

“At this stage, the issue appears to be isolated to DUSD LP positions on Curve. There is currently no indication that other assets or deployments are affected,” the team said.

The protocol added that nderlying assets held in the Machines remain unaffected. As a precaution, Makina said it has activated security mode across all Machines while the team continues to assess the situation.

Recommended action

Makina urged liquidity providers to take immediate precautionary steps:

“We strongly advise LPs in the DUSD Curve pool to remove their liquidity.”

The team said its immediate focus is determining the full scope of the incident and the appropriate next steps for affected users and LPs, with further updates expected once the review is completed.

What is Makina Protocol?

Makina positions itself as a non-custodial DeFi execution layer, offering users exposure to advanced onchain strategies with built-in risk controls. The protocol highlights several key features:

– Risk management tools aimed at limiting concentration risk – An execution engine supporting AI agents for complex DeFi strategies – Atomic execution mechanisms designed to enable instant position unwinds during emergencies – Makina has not yet disclosed a detailed post-mortem, and the attacker’s next moves remain unknown.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Finunion has launched a B2B platform that allows companies to accept cryptocurrency payments using invoices. The product is already live, according to the company.

Crypto payments are widely discussed in business, but their use in B2B billing remains limited. Most activity still focuses on individual transactions rather than recurring or invoice-based payments. This has been a common issue for subscription-based companies and service providers.

Finunion’s platform is aimed at businesses that issue invoices to clients. This includes companies that bill on a recurring basis. The platform allows merchants to create invoices inside a web-based interface.

Invoices can be created for one-time payments or set up as recurring. Once an invoice is issued, the system generates a payment link. This link is sent to the client. The client opens the link and pays the invoice in cryptocurrency on a hosted payment page.

The company says no additional integrations are required to use the platform.

Payments are credited to the merchant’s crypto balance. Invoice status and transaction history are shown in the same interface. Businesses can see which invoices have been paid and which remain outstanding.

Recurring invoicing is included as part of the platform. Finunion says this feature was developed for SaaS companies and other businesses that rely on regular billing cycles. Payment history and invoice status can be reviewed at any time.

The platform also supports withdrawals to euro-denominated bank accounts. This allows merchants to convert crypto payments into fiat if needed. According to Finunion, this reflects how many businesses operate today.

Vladyslav Savchenko, the founder of Finunion, says the platform was built following requests from businesses that were already accepting crypto but lacked suitable B2B tools. The focus was on invoicing and payment tracking rather than additional features.

Finunion describes the product as a practical solution for B2B crypto payments. It is positioned as an operational tool rather than a consumer payments product.

The launch comes as crypto infrastructure providers continue to develop tools aimed at business use cases. Adoption of crypto in B2B payments remains uneven, but there is ongoing demand for simpler billing and payment systems.

Finunion’s platform applies crypto payments to existing invoicing processes rather than introducing new workflows.

Bitcoin & Ethereum ignite first major 2026 rally — institutional capital floods in What happened: After a period of range-bound trade, Bitcoin surged above $97,000, while Ethereum approached $3,400, sparking nearly $700 million in short liquidations and broad market participation. Strong inflows — about $1.2 billion into crypto ETFs — helped fuel the momentum as traders reacted to eased U.S. core inflation and growing rate-cut expectations. Why it matters: Breaking key resistance around $95,000 signals renewed bullish sentiment and can pull more capital into crypto markets early in the year. Higher Bitcoin and ETH prices often trigger leverage re-entries and broader alpha search across altcoins. Source: XT Blog — Bitcoin & Ethereum major 2026 rally (+ETFs/+short liquidations).  

⸻

XRP ETF inflows top $1.37 billion — institutional demand shifts narrative What happened: According to 247WallSt, cumulative XRP ETF inflows have now exceeded $1.37 billion — the strongest sustained institutional demand among major crypto ETFs so far in 2026. Why it matters: This contrasts with recent BTC/ETH ETF outflows and highlights that capital is selectively rotating into diversified and alt-focused investment products. A strong inflow narrative helps underpin XRP’s price and its emerging narrative as an institutional play. Source: 247WallSt — XRP ETF inflows hit $1.37B.  

⸻

Ethereum bullish forecasts intensify — could ETH outperform BTC in 2026 What happened: Analysts from Standard Chartered see 2026 as “the year of Ethereum”, highlighting network adoption, DeFi growth, stablecoins, RWAs and ETF optimism as key drivers. Price targets suggest a potential move toward much higher levels versus Bitcoin, underlined by growing ecosystem demand. Why it matters: If Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin, it may signal a broader shift in capital allocation strategies — particularly for institutional players seeking diversified exposure across digital assets. Growing adoption of ETH-based products may reinforce this trend. Source: Standard Chartered Ethereum outlook report.  

⸻

U.S. crypto regulation bill hits delays — market pricing in uncertainty What happened: The U.S. Senate Banking Committee postponed the markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a major crypto regulation bill. This delay comes amid political pushback and a détente from Coinbase on certain provisions; related legislative sessions are being rescheduled. Why it matters: Regulatory clarity remains a huge catalyst (or headwind) for institutional capital flows. Postponement of a unified regulatory framework often leads to short-term volatility as traders and institutions recalibrate expectations. Source: Equiti — U.S. regulatory setback and market reaction.  

Bitcoin & Ethereum aprind prima mare rally din 2026 — capitalul instituțional inundă piața
Ce s-a întâmplat: După o perioadă de comerț în interval, Bitcoin a crescut peste 97,000 USD, în timp ce Ethereum s-a apropiat de 3,400 USD, generând aproape 700 milioane USD în lichidări scurte și participare largă pe piață. Fluxuri puternice — aproximativ 1.2 miliarde USD în ETF-uri crypto — au ajutat la alimentarea momentului pe măsură ce comercianții au reacționat la relaxarea inflației de bază din SUA și la așteptările crescânde de tăiere a ratelor.
De ce este important: Spargerea rezistenței cheie în jurul valorii de 95,000 USD semnalează un sentiment optimist reînnoit și poate atrage mai mult capital în piețele crypto la începutul anului. Prețurile mai mari ale Bitcoin și ETH declanșează adesea reintrări cu levier și o căutare mai largă de alpha în rândul altcoinurilor.

Compania Finuion extinde utilizarea plăților în criptomonede pentru facturarea B2B.

Compania Finunion a lansat o platformă B2B care permite companiilor să accepte plăți în criptomonedă prin intermediul facturilor. Conform companiei, produsul este deja lansat.

Plățile criptomonedelor sunt discutate pe scară largă în afaceri, dar utilizarea lor în facturarea B2B rămâne limitată. O mare parte din activitate este încă concentrată pe tranzacții individuale, nu pe plăți recurente sau pe bază de factură. Aceasta este o problemă comună pentru companiile care operează pe un model de abonament și pentru furnizorii de servicii.

O concentrare puternică pe Forex, deschisă întregului trading

Pakistan a semnat un acord cu o companie afiliată World Liberty Financial (WLFI) — un proiect de criptomonede legat de familia președintelui american Donald Trump — pentru a explora utilizarea unei stablecoin legate de dolarul american pentru plăți transfrontaliere, relatează Reuters.

Memorandumul de înțelegere (MoU) a fost anunțat miercuri de Autoritatea Pakistanului pentru Active Virtuale (PVARA), care a declarat că parteneriatul are ca scop construirea unui „înțelegere tehnică” privind infrastructura emergentă de plăți digitale.

Pakistan has signed an agreement with a company affiliated with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) — a crypto venture linked to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump — to explore the use of a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin for cross-border payments, Reuters reports.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was announced on Wednesday by the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA), which said the partnership is aimed at building “technical understanding” of emerging digital payment infrastructure.

MoU signed with WLFI-linked entity

According to the statement, Pakistan entered the agreement with SC Financial Technologies, a relatively low-profile company described by PVARA as an “affiliated entity” of WLFI. The regulator said the MoU establishes a framework for dialogue around digital payment architectures and how stablecoins could be used in regulated settlement flows.

Stablecoin use case: cross-border payments

The initiative is focused on evaluating whether WLFI’s stablecoin USD1 can be used to support international payments and settlement. Reuters cited a source involved in the deal saying the token may ultimately be integrated into a regulated structure that supports cross-border transactions.

Central bank coordination and regulatory rails

Under the agreement, SC Financial Technologies is expected to work alongside Pakistan’s central bank on potential integration routes — with the goal of enabling USD1 to operate within compliant payment channels and alongside Pakistan’s existing digital currency infrastructure, according to the source cited by Reuters.

Witkoff visit tied to announcement

The MoU was disclosed during a visit to Pakistan by Zach Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of WLFI and the son of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. Witkoff also serves as CEO of SC Financial Technologies. In its statement, PVARA said meetings were held with “senior Pakistani stakeholders” to discuss digital payment infrastructure, cross-border settlement, and foreign exchange-related processes.

USD1 brand ownership and WLFI product expansion

Documentation related to USD1’s reserves from July 2025 reportedly indicates that SC Financial Technologies and WLFI co-own the USD1 stablecoin brand.

WLFI has recently expanded its stablecoin product suite, including a lending-focused decentralized finance application where USD1 functions as the primary asset, with collateral options such as ETH, cbBTC, USDC, USDT, and WLFI.

Un memecoin bazat pe Solana, promovat ca NYC Token ($NYC) și legat de fostul primar al orașului New York, Eric Adams, a cunoscut o scădere bruscă după lansare, după ce analiștii pe lanț au acuzat că lichiditatea a fost extrasă din pool-ul de tranzacționare al tokenului, declanșând o colapsare rapidă a capitalizării de piață.

Conform platformelor de urmărire și analizei pe rețelele sociale, portofolii asociate cu creatorul tokenului au eliminat milioane de dolari în lichiditate USDC din pool-urile de schimb descentralizate în scurt timp după ce tokenul a cunoscut o creștere a popularității. Mai multe conturi pe lanț cu urmăritori mari au descris activitatea ca fiind consistentă cu o "înșelăciune", deși la momentul redactării nu a fost anunțată nicio investigație oficială.
