Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) has released a report stating that the Central African Republic's (CAR) push for cryptocurrencies has not promoted financial inclusion but rather benefited a small elite group and exposed the country to the influence of foreign criminal networks. The report states that against the backdrop of severe deficiencies in electricity, internet, and regulation, CAR's crypto projects, from the fiatization of Bitcoin and Sango Coin to national memes, primarily serve the interests of foreign investors and a small number of insiders. The report also criticizes the 2023 law allowing the tokenization of oil, gold, timber, and land, which it argues could undermine national sovereignty. (Cointelegraph)

According to a report released yesterday by research and brokerage firm K33, selling pressure from long-term Bitcoin holders is nearing saturation after years of distribution, and on-chain selling pressure is expected to gradually ease.

Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33, points out that since 2024, the supply of Bitcoin held for more than two years has been declining, with approximately 1.6 million BTC being reactivated and entering the market, worth about $138 billion at current prices. This reflects ongoing on-chain sales by early holders. Lunde believes this scale clearly exceeds what can be explained by technological migration or structural adjustments, indicating substantial allocation activity.

The report states that 2024 and 2025 will be the second and third highest years in Bitcoin's history in terms of long-term supply recirculation, second only to 2017. Unlike the distribution cycle driven by ICOs, altcoin trading, and incentive mechanisms in those years, this round of selling is more about long-term holders realizing profits from deep liquidity needs arising from direct investment in US Bitcoin spot ETFs and corporate financial requirements.

Looking ahead, K33 anticipates selling pressure will gradually ease. Lunde stated that approximately 20% of the Bitcoin supply has been reactivated over the past two years, and on-chain selling pressure is expected to approach saturation. The Bitcoin supply held for more than two years may end its current downward trend in 2026, exceeding the current level of approximately 12.16 million BTC. Furthermore, K33 also points to a potential asset allocation rebalancing effect at the end of the quarter and the beginning of the next. Given Bitcoin's significant underperformance compared to other assets in the fourth quarter, the reallocation of funds with fixed allocation ratios at the end of the year and the beginning of next year may bring a temporary inflow of funds into the market.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that stablecoin giant Tether has officially launched PearPass, a peer-to-peer (P2P) password manager designed to eliminate the risk of users' encrypted information being leaked in the cloud.

Tether stated that existing password management tools generally rely on cloud storage, and if cloud services are compromised, sensitive user data may be exposed. PearPass, on the other hand, uses a decentralized peer-to-peer architecture and does not store passwords in the cloud, thus enhancing security and privacy. The company stated that the product will initially support mainstream browsers and plans to further expand to mobile devices and other platforms. This move reflects the crypto industry's continued focus on innovation in user security tools.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Robinhood (HOOD)'s stock performance in 2025 has far surpassed the S&P 500 index, with a cumulative increase of over 200% to date, significantly outperforming the market. Analysts remain optimistic about its future, with institutions such as Truist giving it a "Buy" rating and high target prices, believing that Robinhood has continued upside potential in areas such as prediction markets, transaction product expansion, and business growth. They expect its fundamentals and valuation space have not yet fully reflected future growth expectations. However, there are also differing opinions in the market, with some observers pointing out that recent increased volatility and a decline in some operating indicators may bring short-term uncertainty.

According to a post on the X platform by Coingecko, published by Odaily Planet Daily, the United States, India, and Nigeria are the top three countries globally with the most interest in Meme Coin, followed by Germany, Turkey, Vietnam, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Brazil, and Indonesia. Due to changes in US market regulation and attitudes towards Meme Coin, access to related content by local users has increased by 30%.

However, due to the overall decline in market capitalization, interest in meme coins in the crypto market has been declining continuously since the beginning of 2025, with attention falling by 81%. DOGE still dominates the meme coin market, accounting for approximately 47.3% of the market share. In late 2024, the hype surrounding AI and the US presidential election drove the emergence and popularity of related meme coins, such as GOAT and FARTCOIN. The launch of the Trump token in January 2025 propelled the meme coin market to its peak, but now the market capitalization of both of these categories of meme coins has experienced a significant drop.
