Odaily News: Binance founder CZ stated in an interview with CNBC at Davos, "Being pardoned by Trump three months ago, the past three months have felt even more free. I think it's more of a psychological change. It's like a heavy burden has finally been lifted. I was actually free before too, but I carried the identity of a felon. But now I am a truly free person." CZ also revealed that his pardon application was submitted through his lawyer, and the entire process was a "black box" to him. To this day, he is unclear about the specific decision-making mechanism and has never met privately with Trump, having only seen him "from a distance" at the Davos Forum.

Odaily News Optimism DAO began voting on a landmark proposal on January 23, which suggests using 50% of the Optimism Superchain network's revenue for monthly buybacks of the OP governance token. However, this proposal has sparked controversy within the community.

Odaily News On Friday, spot silver historically broke above $100 per ounce, officially entering the "triple-digit era." In less than a month since the start of the year, its gains have approached 40%. This is primarily attributed to investors' preference for safe-haven assets, a weak US dollar, and robust industrial demand. Ole Hansen, an analyst at Saxo Bank, stated: "Momentum has clearly become a significant part of this move, with FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) psychology playing a notable role as prices venture into uncharted territory." However, he also noted: "It would be a mistake to simply view this rally as pure speculation." (Jin10)

Odaily News Eric Trump, the second son of Donald Trump, posted on the X platform stating that the scale of USD1 has surpassed that of PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD. This is a significant milestone for USD1, which is not just about cryptocurrency but about building the future of global currency.

According to the latest Charting Crypto report released by Coinbase Institutional, following the adjustment at the end of 2025, the crypto market has entered the first few months of 2026 with a more solid structural foundation, improving market positioning, and a more balanced market environment, a situation expected to persist through the first quarter. The decline in the fourth quarter of last year helped clear out the excessive leverage and speculative positions that had accumulated previously. The current environment indicates the market is undergoing a recalibration rather than returning to aggressive risk-taking. Investor participation remains active but more cautious, with position allocation being more reasonable and orderly compared to previous expansion phases. This reduces the market's downside risk and enhances its resilience to shocks. Furthermore, the macro environment is acting as a "buffer." The report states that although uncertainties regarding monetary policy, geopolitics, and regulation persist, these risks are increasingly being priced in by the market ahead of time and reflected in positioning structures, rather than triggering sudden, sharp volatility. This leads to more rational and restrained market reactions. (CoinDesk)

Odaily News During the US trading session on Friday, the price of silver has risen to over $100 per ounce. Its intraday gain exceeds 3%, and the price of this precious metal has accumulated a 13% increase this week. Factors driving the price of this precious metal higher include concerns over the Iran and Ukraine conflicts, as well as Trump's pursuit of Greenland on the global stage at this week's Davos meeting. Neil Welsh, Head of the Metals Department at Britannia Global Markets: "Changes in the geopolitical landscape and (Trump's) renewed attacks on the Federal Reserve are prompting people to seek safe havens." For silver, analysts say the $100 price level is a so-called 'psychological price point.' Trump's remarks about the US 'fleet' heading towards Iran have prompted investors to buy silver, while also driving up prices of base metals such as gold and copper. (Jin10)
