January 15th, ZK Smart Verifiable Computing Platform Brevis announced further collaboration with BNB Chain, jointly building the "Intelligent Privacy Pool" with 0xbow. The product is expected to be officially launched on BNB Chain in the first quarter of 2026.Technical Implementation Pathway: This privacy pool is built on 0xbow's core functionality and introduces a ZK-driven eligibility verification mechanism. By integrating the Brevis ZK Data Coprocessor, users can zero-knowledge proof the source of on-chain data; at the same time, combined with zkTLS technology, users can bind off-chain KYC information. This allows users to complete on-chain compliance proof without revealing sensitive data.As the first landing application of the "Three-Dimensional Privacy Framework" jointly promoted by three parties, the project systematically defines the privacy infrastructure from three dimensions: defining the specific content of privacy protection; specifying the compliance disclosure path in necessary scenarios; setting the ownership and management of access rights and other core elements.

January 15th, renowned crypto analyst @IamCryptoWolf posted on Platform X stating that the BTC/GOLD ratio's weekly RSI indicator is currently at an oversold level of around 27.54. Historically, similar low points have triggered a strong BTC rebound relative to gold.The chart shows that after similar key reversal points starting from 2013 (such as 2015 and 2018), the BTC/GOLD ratio has risen over 100% multiple times. Market data at the end of 2025 showed this ratio hitting a three-year low.

January 15th, analyst Darkfost combined on-chain metrics information to indicate that despite Bitcoin's strong short-term rebound breaking through $97,000, short-term holders (STH) seem more inclined to take profits.During yesterday's Bitcoin breakout above $97,000, over 40,000 BTC in a profitable position were sent to CEX. Darkfost suggests that STHs are evidently still impacted by the recent correction, seemingly requiring more upside potential and stronger confirmation to rebuild confidence and generate enough unrealized gains to encourage holding instead of selling.

January 6th. Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy stated that he is against insider trading in prediction markets. If insider trading is normalized, it will be beautified as a feature rather than a loophole, which would be very regrettable. He holds a very low opinion of those who engage in insider trading on platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi.In a reposted post, it was also mentioned that even if you just catch a whiff of non-public information, you should resolutely avoid trading in that market. Perhaps insider traders may escape punishment, or perhaps not, but taking this risk is not worth it. Insider traders may find themselves behind bars for insider trading on Polymarket. Knowing they can't lose but still speculating is extremely unethical, extracting profit from those in the dark.

January 6th — According to NewSIS, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea is actively considering the introduction of a "Payment Freeze" system to early-stage freeze accounts suspected of manipulating cryptocurrency prices, preventing suspects from transferring or concealing illegal gains during investigations. This measure is similar to the stock price manipulation account freeze system introduced through an amendment to the Capital Market Act in April last year.During a Financial Services Commission meeting in November last year, several commissioners expressed their support for this, suggesting that a similar mechanism should be included in the cryptocurrency second-phase bill. South Korean financial authorities pointed out that cryptocurrency assets are particularly easy to hide after being transferred to personal wallets. Currently, regulations can only prevent funds from entering or leaving trading platforms, but they can still be withdrawn to financial institutions. The new measure will help promptly prevent the hiding of illicit gains and provide assurance for subsequent recovery.
