StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson spoke on X about the potential impact of quantum computing on the crypto industry, calling for a proactive deployment of post-quantum security upgrades across multi-chain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, and proposed a five-step action plan:Acknowledge the threat and clearly recognize that once quantum computers mature, they will pose a severe challenge to the existing public key cryptography system, and take decisive action to implement countermeasures.Enhance education and information dissemination, systematically learn about the current state of quantum computing development and feasible solutions in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and spread relevant knowledge within the community to raise overall awareness.Organize and invest resources to support and collaborate with post-quantum cryptography experts, promote multiple research and engineering practices, and provide funding and community initiative support for related projects.Listen to expert advice and establish standards, with experts proposing specific technical routes, including the selection of new signature algorithm standards and the reasonable post-quantum security levels required for hash functions.Promote protocol and infrastructure upgrades, introduce new quantum-resistant signature mechanisms at the core protocol layer, and ensure compatibility and integration with key infrastructures such as wallets to ensure a smooth transition.

Strategy CEO Phong Le posted on platform X, stating that the Basel Accords set global banking capital standards and asset risk-weighting rules, which substantially affect how banks engage in digital asset-related businesses (including Bitcoin). This framework is established by the Basel Committee, which covers 28 jurisdictions and is composed of central banks and regulatory authorities from various countries, with the United States being one of them. If the U.S. wishes to become the "global crypto capital," it is necessary to reassess the implementation of capital requirements and risk weights under the Basel framework.

According to Cointelegraph, Senate Banking Committee senior member Elizabeth Warren has written to Treasury Secretary Scott Basset and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, urging the government not to use taxpayer funds to bail out the cryptocurrency industry.In her letter, Warren warned that any form of bailout would mean "transferring wealth from American taxpayers to cryptocurrency billionaires," which is not only "extremely unpopular" but could also directly benefit President Trump and his family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial.The letter comes at a time when the price of Bitcoin has fallen over 50% from its historical highs, reaching a local low of $60,000. On the same day, World Liberty Financial held its first "World Liberty Forum" at Mar-a-Lago, inviting several executives from the cryptocurrency industry and policymakers who support cryptocurrencies to attend.Warren also referenced the Financial Stability Oversight Council hearing on the 4th of this month, pointing out that Secretary Basset had "avoided core concerns" when responding to questions about a bailout for Bitcoin.She emphasized that the government should not intervene in the Bitcoin market through direct purchases, guarantees, or liquidity tools, to avoid "making cryptocurrency billionaires the biggest beneficiaries of a bailout."

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded on social media to the question "Why is Coinbase always misunderstood or underestimated by Wall Street," stating: "I do believe Coinbase is a misunderstood company. This is a classic 'innovator's dilemma.' On one hand, the smartest traditional financial institutions are fully embracing the crypto industry. Five globally systemically important banks (GSIB) have begun collaborating with Coinbase. Many large financial institutions are also hiring crypto talent. As regulations become clearer, we see that about 50% of large financial institutions are actively embracing this trend. On the other hand, the other half is still lagging behind and resistant. The most disruptive innovations in the world almost always follow a similar pattern. Whether it's Uber, Airbnb, autonomous driving, AI applications, or SpaceX's impact on NASA. The crypto industry is directly disrupting Wall Street, so it's not surprising that some Wall Street people misunderstand crypto and Coinbase. The smart ones will embrace it, while the laggards will be eliminated. Coinbase and the crypto industry have never been in a stronger position than now. For investors to achieve excess returns, they must be 'both early and right.' Coinbase is still undervalued, and this is not yet a consensus among traditional analysts. I suggest focusing on what the company commits to do and whether it delivers, rather than just looking at whether analysts' models predict 'beats' or 'misses.' Additionally, our GAAP net profit includes unrealized gains and losses on held crypto assets, so adjusted net profit should also be considered (even in a down market, we were still profitable last quarter, and there has been some misunderstanding about this in the media)."

Binance Co-CEO He Yi posted that since Binance's launch over eight years ago, BNB has achieved a cumulative return of 5354 times.

They do not initiate trouble but are not afraid of challenges. She stated that while industry participants come and go, Binance will exist long-term, responding to market changes with game theory thinking in a relatively stable environment.Additionally, He Yi pointed out that Binance is committed to creating a platform that users can trust, but investment decisions still require users to do their own research (DYOR). She wished users good returns in the new year.

According to The Hill, the cryptocurrency industry is ramping up its spending in preparation for the upcoming U.S. midterm elections after achieving several key victories and accumulating significant funds in 2024.The industry's main super PAC network, Fairshake, has over $193 million in cash on hand as of early 2026 and has announced several targets for this election cycle: including supporting Congressman Barry Moore (Republican-Alabama) in the Alabama Senate race, and pushing to oust Congressman Al Green (Democrat-Texas) in the House elections. After making substantial investments in the last U.S. elections and claiming victories in at least two high-profile campaigns, this has secured some early wins for the industry in Congress and significantly elevated the cryptocurrency sector's standing in Washington.The impact of the cryptocurrency industry in 2024 was most pronounced, as it invested tens of millions of dollars in multiple primaries and competitive elections. According to 2024 campaign finance filings, the Fairshake super PAC network, which includes three affiliated groups, spent nearly $180 million in the last cycle.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform that Coinbase has recently participated in two White House meetings, stating that the White House, banks, and the crypto industry can achieve a "win-win" on the crypto structural bill. In the future, they will continue to focus on promoting core consumer rights, including a stablecoin reward mechanism. He is confident in driving the formation of a market structure that balances the crypto policy agenda with banking concerns, while ensuring that the interests of crypto users are prioritized.Brian Armstrong further stated that Coinbase has been actively promoting related issues even before the industry widely focused on market structure problems and will continue to participate in policy discussions. However, the GENIUS Act was passed six months ago, and its current re-evaluation may have a significant impact on platform customers.

Yzi Labs investment partner Alex Odagiu recently wrote to the CEA Industries board, accusing it of recklessly delaying the annual shareholder meeting, which could put the company at risk of being delisted from Nasdaq.The letter pointed out that it has been over 400 days since the last shareholder meeting. The board attempted to exploit a loophole by changing the fiscal year-end date to April 30 through "accounting maneuvers," extending the interval between meetings to 16 months. Alex Odagiu stated that this move by the board was to evade voting and that last December, they used the excuse of a "ski vacation" to cover up their actions of obstructing shareholder democracy through the "poison pill plan" and amending the bylaws.The letter emphasized that although the board tried to comply technically, its malicious manipulation could trigger Nasdaq's delisting discretion. Yzi Labs demands that the board immediately announce the date of the 2025 annual shareholder meeting and cease actions that jeopardize the company's listing status to maintain their positions.
