According to Cointelegraph, a recent study by TRM Labs shows that despite mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges delisting privacy coins, the activity of Monero remains stable. Research data indicates that transaction usage in 2024 and 2025 is still higher than levels before 2022.TRM Labs noted in its analysis of market trends and underlying network infrastructure that demand has not waned even after many large trading platforms removed or restricted the token due to traceability issues. In 2024, mainstream platforms, including Binance and Kraken, have successively delisted or gradually phased out Monero for compliance reasons. This year, Dubai's financial regulatory authority has prohibited licensed platforms in the Dubai International Financial Centre from listing Monero, Zcash, and other privacy coins, further increasing the pressure.The findings also reveal that Bitcoin remains the preferred currency for real-world ransomware payments. Ransomware operators typically request Monero and sometimes even offer discounts, but victims still tend to pay with Bitcoin. However, the dark web market seems to be evolving in the opposite direction. Researchers found that among new markets launched in 2025, 48% only support Monero, a significant increase compared to previous years.

According to Cointelegraph, the President of the German Central Bank, Joachim Nagel, stated that stablecoins pegged to the euro would provide Europe with more independence, allowing it to move away from dollar-pegged stablecoins that are set to be approved under the "GENIUS Act."Joachim Nagel, the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank (German Central Bank), supports the launch of a central bank digital currency pegged to the euro as well as payment-type stablecoins denominated in euros. In a preparatory speech at the American Chamber of Commerce's New Year reception in Frankfurt on Monday, Nagel mentioned that EU officials are "working hard" to advance the rollout of retail central bank digital currencies. He believes that euro-denominated stablecoins will also help "make Europe more independent in terms of payment systems and solutions.""It is worth noting that wholesale central bank digital currencies will enable financial institutions to make programmable payments using central bank money," Nagel stated. "I also see the value of euro-denominated stablecoins, as they can allow individuals and businesses to make cross-border payments at a low cost."Nagel's remarks come months after U.S. President Trump signed a bill to establish a regulatory framework for payment-type stablecoins in the country. This legislation could pose a challenge to any potential euro-pegged stablecoins. The law is expected to be fully implemented 18 months after signing or 120 days after relevant regulations are finalized. The German central bank president's comments on stablecoins did not mention the risks he referred to at the Euro50 Group meeting last week.Nagel warned that if the market share of dollar-denominated stablecoins significantly exceeds that of euro-pegged stablecoins, domestic monetary policy "could be severely compromised, not to mention that Europe's sovereignty could be weakened."

The robotics startup Axis Robotics announced that in an experiment codenamed "The Rose of the Little Prince," it mobilized 12,000 users worldwide to complete the crowdsourced collection of 10,000 high-quality trajectory data points within 5 days through its self-developed browser-based platform. This experiment demonstrated that robotic intelligence can be constructed outside of traditional, expensive laboratory environments, achieving data scale explosion through public participation.Leveraging the MetaSim architecture, Axis Robotics has created an end-to-end pipeline from task setup to real machine deployment, decoupling complex physical simulations from lightweight web interactions to ensure that the collected data has deep processing capabilities. The platform enhances data diversity through cross-simulation replay technology, replaying high-frequency physical data from MuJoCo in Isaac Sim and performing large-scale domain randomization.Currently, the official team has successfully achieved real machine reproduction on the Franka robotic arm based on this batch of data provided by ordinary internet users, validating the feasibility of this data collection model in industrial implementation.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on platform X, stating that quantum computing is more like a technological bubble compared to AI. The current industry is filled with hype but has almost no actual delivery results. AI is continuously improving the real world, while quantum computing is expected to remain unable to achieve practical applications by 2026, and it is anticipated to struggle to generate substantial industrial value in the coming decades. His trading view is to short quantum computing while maintaining a long position in Bitcoin.He also specifically named several quantum computing concept stocks that he is bearish on, including: Rigetti Computing ($RGTI), D-Wave Quantum ($QBTS), Quantum Computing Inc. ($QUBT), and IonQ ($IONQ). Wang Chun added that the current products and commercialization capabilities of these companies are insufficient, and market valuations are largely based on long-term technological expectations.
