Odaily News During the anti-government protests erupting across Iran and amidst government-imposed internet blackouts, local residents are accelerating the transfer of Bitcoin into personal wallets. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis points out that from the start of the protests on December 28, 2024, to the internet disruption on January 8, there was a significant increase in BTC withdrawal transactions from local Iranian exchanges to unknown personal wallets. This indicates that people are self-custodying Bitcoin at a higher frequency during periods of social unrest.

Chainalysis believes this behavior is closely related to the sharp depreciation of the Iranian national currency, the Rial. Data shows the Rial's exchange rate against the US dollar plummeted from around 420,000 to over 1.05 million in a short period, leading to a rapid loss of purchasing power. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin, with its characteristics of decentralization, censorship resistance, and cross-border transferability, is seen as a crucial tool for hedging against currency collapse and economic instability.

The report also notes that this trend aligns with patterns observed in other regions globally experiencing war, economic crises, or high-pressure government policies. Furthermore, Chainalysis disclosed that addresses associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accounted for over 50% of the total crypto assets received in Iran during the fourth quarter of 2025, with on-chain processed amounts exceeding $3 billion for the full year.

Odaily News Three Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives have sent a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, demanding an explanation regarding the SEC's suspension of the enforcement case against TRON founder Justin Sun. Representatives Maxine Waters, Brad Sherman, and Sean Casten stated that the prolonged delay of the case could undermine investor confidence in the regulatory agency's independence and credibility.

In the letter, the lawmakers pointed out that the SEC has recently initiated or advanced the suspension and dismissal of multiple crypto-related enforcement cases, including those involving Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, and questioned its enforcement priorities and effectiveness. Regarding the Justin Sun case, the SEC requested the court in February of this year to stay the litigation to explore a potential settlement, which has now lasted for approximately 11 months.

The lawmakers also mentioned Justin Sun's token transactions with World Liberty Financial and requested the SEC to preserve and provide all documents and communication records related to the suspension of this case. The SEC has not yet issued a public response to the above inquiries. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News Gate Research Institute released the "Gate 2025 Spot Listing Key Data" report. Based on a sample of 447 assets newly listed on Gate spot in 2025, the report analyzed market feedback across multiple time windows from 5 minutes to 30 days post-listing. The report points out that in a market environment characterized by high volatility and high supply, for trading platforms, launching new listings is not just about covering more assets; it more crucially tests the platform's comprehensive capabilities in project screening, liquidity organization, trade execution, and price discovery efficiency.

From a supply structure perspective, Gate newly listed a total of 447 assets on its spot market in 2025. Among these, 318 were first listings (including 28 exclusives), and 129 were non-first listings. First listings accounted for approximately 71%, indicating that the majority of new supply throughout the year came from first-listed projects. Regarding first-day performance, about 54.8% of assets closed higher within 24 hours, with the average gain for the rising sample being approximately 635%. A breakdown by type shows that first-listed projects achieved higher median returns in early windows: the median 24-hour gain for the full sample of first listings was 12.56% (8.03% after removing outliers), significantly higher than the 1.18% (0.86% after removing outliers) for non-first listings. The early performance of exclusive projects was even more concentrated: nearly 80% (22/28) closed higher within 30 minutes of opening, with a median gain of about 81%, and over one-third of exclusive projects achieved gains ≥100% within 30 minutes.

Looking at the trajectories of representative projects, Gate's first-listing system covers various asset types including traffic-driven, technology-driven, and community/culture-driven assets, with numerous cases of multi-fold gains.
