【Blockchain Rhythm】Many holders are troubled by a problem: buying Bitcoin and keeping it in a wallet means you can only wait for it to appreciate; there's nothing else you can do. Recently, a project aimed to solve this pain point.
They launched an off-chain Bitcoin yield vault, specifically designed for long-term BTC holders. The logic is straightforward—your Bitcoin stays put without any action, while still earning additional income. The expected annualized return is between 3% and 5%, paid in their USDf asset, settled in USD.
This product concept is actually quite practical: it meets holders' needs for asset security while also increasing income during bear markets or volatile periods. For Bitcoin believers, this is equivalent to maintaining their conviction without wasting time value.

【Blockchain Rhythm】On-chain data shows that wallet address 0xFB7…5e0A3 has been very active on Hyperliquid. On January 7th, this trader significantly increased their BTC long position to $259 million, making them the largest Bitcoin long holder on the platform.
Specifically, the opening average price of this address's BTC long position is $92,318.6, with an unrealized loss of approximately $1.982 million. The liquidation price is set at $81,157.4, which indicates some buffer for risk.
What’s more noteworthy are the operational details—this whale started positioning 5 hours ago, using 20x leverage to build the long position. At the same time, they placed a take-profit limit sell order with a trigger price set at $93,300. This combination of strategies demonstrates a quite mature risk management mindset. In the current market environment with Bitcoin price fluctuations, such a large-scale leveraged long position

Recently, analysts pointed out that although Bitcoin's price has rebounded above $93,000, on-chain transaction activity has not significantly increased, indicating a lack of demand. To achieve the goal of Bitcoin returning to $100,000, stronger on-chain activity is needed. After the holiday, market activity is expected to pick up, which may lead to an improvement in on-chain demand.

Cross-chain aggregation DeFi platform Infinex adjusts its financing strategy, cancels the subscription cap, and shifts to a bottom-up allocation to attract more investors. However, the current funds raised are only $1.55 million, still $3.5 million short of the $5 million target, indicating that market enthusiasm is below expectations. The adjustment, though well-intentioned, has not been able to reverse the financing stagnation.

【Blockchain Rhythm】There's a detail that many people in the market haven't noticed. Why is Morgan Stanley's move so crucial for Bitcoin? Let's break it down.
First, we look at the issue of market capacity. IBIT, as the fastest ETF in history to reach a $80 billion scale, has set a record. But what does this imply? Morgan Stanley's judgment is that this is just the beginning. They have sensed that there is still a large unmet demand in the market, especially in attracting new customers. This signal is very clear: we are still in the very early stages, and the future potential is enormous.
The second dimension is social attributes. For financial institutions, Bitcoin is no longer just an economic tool. Morgan Stanley is betting that even if this ETF doesn't become a blockbuster in the end, simply launching this product can significantly enhance brand value. This is an investment at the social level, not just about returns.
The most critical third point is, in fact,

A well-known Web3 investment fund announced a strategic restructuring, spinning off its liquidity trading business to be led by two experienced operators. The original fund will focus on early-stage projects and high-growth Web3 companies to provide more specialized services.

A leading compliant trading platform announced that on January 7, 2026, it will remove the ETH-DAI, FLOW-USDT, and MANA-ETH trading pairs to optimize market liquidity and fund allocation.

【BitPush】Tether has taken new action. This time, they have launched a new accounting unit for their tokenized gold product XAU₮—the Scudo.
Simply put, one Scudo equals one-thousandth of a troy ounce of gold (or one-thousandth of XAU₮). Why create such a thing? The main goal is to solve a practical problem: as gold prices continue to rise, quoting XAU₮ in decimal form becomes increasingly complex and unintuitive. With Scudo, users can trade directly in whole numbers or simple fractions, avoiding the confusion of many decimal points.
This may seem like a small change, but its impact is significant. First, gold price labeling becomes clearer. Second, transfers become more convenient, and transactions more straightforward. This means gold as a store of value and medium of exchange becomes more practical—simply put, making it easier for ordinary users to use gold for payments and asset allocation.

Gray Zcash trust products have attracted attention due to management fees rising in tandem with ZEC prices, with fees soaring from $32,000 six months ago to $440,000, an increase of over ten times.
