1. What opportunities are still available in the ecosystem with a market value of over $3 billion for Virtuals?
After nearly a week of decline in the crypto market, some strong coins have seen a certain degree of rebound on the eve of Christmas, such as the AI Agent project Virtuals Protocol token VIRTUAL, which surged nearly 20% within 24 hours, with its market value once again exceeding $3 billion.

2. The revival of DeFi: What is the outlook for BTCFi?
As the US gradually clarifies its regulations on virtual currencies, DeFi has also become one of the main lines of this bull market. Currently, the DeFi under US regulation that people are discussing more refers to RWA (Real World Assets) on the blockchain, dollar stablecoins, and PayFi, among others.

3. US think tank report: US-China competition and Bitcoin as a national tool of the United States
The global monetary order is facing increasing pressure.

However, the emergence of aipool for presales, preventing rug pulls, and avoiding MEV is also an upgrade to the current DeFi experience, isn't it? Without mentioning the distant prospects, let's talk about the significant benefits that are close at hand. Click to read
5. It's time to seriously understand cryptocurrency in 2025
Before dawn, the skyline of Manhattan in New York is already lit up by countless lights. Wall Street traders arrive at the office early as usual, but today's atmosphere is noticeably different. On the big screen, in addition to the familiar Dow Jones index and Nasdaq index, the price chart of Bitcoin is fluctuating in real-time. This 'alternative asset,' once sneered at by Wall Street elites, has now become a trading target they must check every day. Click to read
