📊 Markets are increasingly clearly pricing in the approach of turbulence: the largest holders of US government bonds — Japan, Great Britain, and China — have reduced their positions to 2008 lows.
The massive sell-off of treasuries leads to rising yields and more expensive money, which rapidly shrinks global liquidity.
Historically, such processes first hit bonds, then stocks, and the crypto market ultimately takes the sharpest hit.

@DeCenterOrg
🇷🇺 In the Russian State Duma, the damage from illegal mining was estimated at almost 20 billion rubles per year — according to the head of the Energy Committee, underground mining leads to a shortage of capacity, grid overload, and a decrease in the quality of electricity supply, and also deprives the economy of more than 10 billion rubles in the energy sector and up to 9.6 billion rubles in taxes.

🗽 The US Secretary of the Treasury confirmed that the administration continues to work on forming a national Bitcoin reserve:
🔵 The US has completely stopped selling confiscated BTC.
🔵 The next stage is replenishing the reserve with seized and confiscated assets: after settling damages, such BTC will not be sold but will be credited to the state's digital reserve.
🔵 The administration is betting on the return of the crypto industry to the US, setting a course for clear regulation and support for innovation.
🔵 Against this backdrop, the policy of the Joe Biden administration, which nearly undermined the digital asset sector, is effectively being revised.

🇷🇺 The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation confirmed that courts are not entitled to refuse protection of property claims in disputes involving cryptocurrency, if the owner can prove the legality of its acquisition and use.
The reason was a case involving 1000 USDT: The Constitutional Court indicated that the obligation to notify the state is explicitly established only for miners and infrastructure operators, therefore the absence of notification does not deprive the owner of the right to judicial protection. At the same time, the court did not separately assess the status of USDT as a digital currency.

🎤 CZ spoke today at the Davos forum, key points:
🔵 Crypto is no longer an experiment and already functions as a global financial infrastructure.
🔵 Three key growth drivers: tokenization, payments, and AI.
🔵 Tokenization is of interest to states — it allows for faster asset monetization.
🔵 Cryptocurrencies will become the base "currency" for AI agents.
🔵 Crypto infrastructure is more resilient than banks in stress scenarios.
🔵 Banks will not disappear, but will become digital — physical offices will be phased out.
🔵 Universal regulation does not exist: each country needs its own model.

🔮 According to Ripple's president's forecast, 2026 will be a turning point for the crypto industry — crypto will finally integrate into the global financial system and cease to be perceived as an alternative to traditional finance.
1️⃣ Stablecoins will become the basic infrastructure for global settlements, and will become the standard for 24/7 payments, B2B settlements, and financial collateral. The main growth will come from corporate payments, the volume of which already reaches $76 billion per year, which will allow companies to free up hundreds of billions of dollars in working capital.
2️⃣ Institutional adoption will accelerate: by the end of 2026, companies' balance sheets will hold over $1 trillion in digital assets, and about 50% of Fortune 500 companies will form full-fledged strategies for working with them. Crypto ETFs, which currently occupy only 1–2% of the US ETF market, retain significant growth potential, and up to 5–10% of capital market settlements will move to an on-chain format.
3️⃣ The market will enter a phase of maturity through consolidation: M&A volume in the crypto industry has already reached $8.6 billion. Custody of digital assets will become a key element of institutional infrastructure; more than half of the world's largest banks will form new custody partnerships and begin using multi-custodial models for risk management.
4️⃣ The combination of blockchain and AI will launch mass automation of financial processes. Stablecoins and smart contracts will provide real-time liquidity and collateral management, AI will be responsible for dynamic RWA rebalancing, and ZK technologies will enhance privacy and reduce regulatory risks.
