Recently, the Crypto Assets market has experienced a trend of simplification and memification, with an increasing demand for high Fluctuation, easily understandable investment options. Traditional market makers face challenges, while emerging market makers rise under aggressive strategies, reflecting the polarized characteristics of the market. These changes make flexible strategies that adapt to the times particularly important.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released new guidelines that clarify the registration requirements for securities related to encryption, covering aspects such as business operations, token design, and risk disclosure. Although not binding, it provides important references for the industry and reflects the SEC's increasing focus on the crypto market.

Reconsidering the positioning of Crypto Assets and the future of stock Tokenization
Working in the Crypto Assets industry for too long often leads us to fall into a certain mindset. No matter what happens, the first reaction is always: what benefits does this bring to Crypto Assets? Does Crypto Assets need this? Can we hype it up?
Taking stock tokenization as an example, from the perspective of crypto assets, it seems to have little significance. A stock token with a daily fluctuation of only 1-3% is far less stimulating than a meme coin that can fluctuate up to 300%. Moreover, speculating on stocks in the stock market and in the crypto world is essentially no different. The narrative around stock tokens also lacks appeal, as it is merely a competition for liquidity. Therefore, many people believe that there is no need for such things as stock tokens in crypto assets.
But let's think from a different perspective: perhaps it's not that Crypto Assets need stocks, but that stocks need encryption technology?
Imagine you are the CEO of a company about to go public, and you have two choices in front of you:

[Bitpush] The U.S. House of Representatives is voting on a bill that aims to establish a regulatory pathway for federal oversight of Digital Money.

The combination of AI and cryptocurrencies is opening up new business models, particularly through decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) to lower the barrier to entry for computing power. A number of projects, such as IO.NET, Aethir and Grass, are exploring how to use idle resources to provide computing power for AI systems, showing a new direction in technological development.

DePIN, as an emerging field in the Crypto Assets industry, encourages user participation through a Token incentive mechanism, thus reshaping wealth distribution. The market size is expected to reach $3 trillion in the next 5 years. IoTeX 2.0 upgrades to a modular public chain, providing multiple infrastructure and ecosystem support to assist the development of DePIN projects.

The encryption vault and PIPE trading are leading listed companies into a new model of crypto asset allocation, blurring the lines between traditional companies and crypto protocols. PIPE trading provides crypto companies with a fast track to go public, while the token vault strategy is gradually gaining attention in the multi-chain ecosystem. This change is reshaping the operational paradigm of the capital market, signaling a deep integration of future crypto projects with traditional markets.

The recent collapse of FTX has raised concerns about the transparency of CEXs, and several exchanges plan to publicize Merkle Tree proof of reserves to enhance user confidence. The Merkle Tree technology ensures data integrity through Cryptography, allowing users to verify their own assets; however, issues such as real-time updates and front-end fraud risks still need to be addressed. Despite its limitations, the introduction of this proof system is a step forward for the industry and helps to rebuild trust and security.

An American AI companion platform has secured $3.9 million in funding, dedicated to providing immersive interactive experiences. The platform is expanding its capabilities by integrating generative AI with Web3 technology, allowing users to create personalized AI companions and plans to launch video and voice features. It has already attracted over 500,000 users, showcasing the potential of consumer-grade encryption applications.
