Lawyer for Chen Zhi Files Motion in US Court to Dismiss Government’s Seizure of His Bitcoin

Odaily News: Lawyers for Chen Zhi recently filed a motion in a New York federal court, requesting the dismissal of the US government’s seizure of a batch of Bitcoin related to him. The legal team stated that the prosecution’s claim that Chen Zhi supervised a scam compound lacks specific evidence, being merely a general description of the overall situation in Cambodia; they also questioned the timeline of the تشفيرcurrency seizure, arguing that this Bitcoin could not have originated from fraud or money laundering.

The US Department of Justice announced the forfeiture of 127,271 Bitcoin controlled by Chen Zhi in October last year, valued at approximately $15 billion at the time. In January this year, Chen Zhi had his Cambodian citizenship revoked and was extradited to China. Following sanctions by the US and UK, over $1 billion in related assets have been frozen or seized in total across Singapore, Hong Kong (China), Taiwan (China), and South Korea.

OpenClaw Founder Criticizes GitHub Security Vulnerability Reporting Process for Multiple Issues

Odaily News: Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, posted an article criticizing multiple issues with GitHub’s security vulnerability reporting process. He pointed out that currently, vulnerability reports are only accessible to administrators, making it difficult for teams to effectively distribute and collaborate on handling them. Additionally, GitHub’s API functionality for vulnerability reports is insufficient, preventing automated agents from reading or posting comments, which limits the automation capability of security response processes. Peter Steinberger also specifically noted that current vulnerability reports are flooded with a large amount of low-quality, AI-generated content, requiring hours of filtering, further increasing the burden of security handling work.

Ripple Initiates $750 Million Share Buyback, Company Valuation Reaches $50 Billion

Odaily News: According to informed sources, blockchain payment company Ripple has initiated a share buyback plan of up to $750 million, valuing the entire company at approximately $50 billion.

This buyback will be conducted through a tender offer, allowing investors and company employees to sell their shares back to the company. The buyback plan is expected to last until April this year. Bloomberg first reported this news.

This buyback plan follows shortly after Ripple’s attempt in October last year to buy back $1 billion in shares at a $40 billion valuation. At that time, participation was relatively limited as some private shareholders were unwilling to sell.

Ripple’s most recent financing occurred in November last year, where the company completed a $500 million strategic funding round, also at a $40 billion valuation. That round was led by funds related to Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, with participation from institutions including Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace.

Ripple President Monica Long stated earlier this year that the company currently has no plans for an IPO, emphasizing that Ripple’s financial situation is robust and it prefers to continue expansion through mergers and acquisitions and product development.

Paradigm-backed Across Protocol Exploring Allowing ACX Holders to Exchange Tokens for Equity

Odaily News: Across Protocol has initiated a temperature check proposal to explore transforming the existing DAO and token structure into a US C-corporation and equity structure. According to this proposal, the new entity, AcrossCo, would become the operating company for Across Protocol. ACX token holders could choose to exchange their tokens for AcrossCo equity at a 1:1 ratio, or redeem ACX for USDC within a six-month window at the one-month average market price. Larger holders can directly exchange for equity, while smaller holders can participate through a free special purpose vehicle structure.

Across Protocol co-founder Hart Lambur stated that if community feedback is positive, the team will initiate a formal governance vote two weeks after the temperature check concludes, with a simple majority deciding the outcome.

The team indicated that as institutional partners’ demand for protocol infrastructure grows, the current DAO structure has limitations in terms of enforceable contracts and clear legal entities. Across Protocol previously raised a total of $51 million through two rounds of token financing. The most recent $41 million funding round was led by Paradigm, with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, and Multicoin Capital. The ACX token is currently priced around $0.035, up about 4% in the past 24 hours but down about 84% over the past year.

General Tensor Completes $5 Million Seed and Pre-seed Rounds, Led by Good Morning Holdings

Odaily News: Bittensor ecosystem infrastructure startup General Tensor announced the completion of an oversubscribed $5 million seed and pre-seed funding round.

US Democratic Lawmakers Propose DEATH BETS Act, Aiming to Ban War and Death Prediction Market Contracts

Odaily News: US Representative Mike Levin and Senator Adam Schiff submitted the “DEATH BETS Act” on Tuesday, aiming to amend the “Commodity تبادل Act” to explicitly prohibit CFTC-registered entities from listing prediction contracts involving terrorism, assassination, war, or personal death.

The bill is a response to recent high-stakes bets on events like nuclear explosions, military strikes, and leadership changes appearing on platforms such as Polymarket.

Although CFTC Chairman Michael Selig recently stated intentions to expand the regulatory framework for prediction markets and claimed their accuracy exceeds political polls, this bill attempts to remove the agency’s discretion by enforcing a ban through legislation. The lawmakers stated that such contracts not only pose national security risks but could also incentivize violent acts and lead to profiting from non-public information. (Decrypt)

Forbes: Trump’s Net Worth Grows by $1.4 Billion in One Year

CZ Responds to Forbes Billionaire Ranking: Related Data is Inaccurate

Odaily News: CZ responded to Forbes’ recent “Real-Time Billionaires List,” stating that the list’s estimation of his wealth is inaccurate.

Previously, Forbes’ real-time list showed CZ’s net worth at approximately $111 billion, ranking 17th on the global billionaire list. CZ commented that this is just a “guess the number” game. He pointed out that the current Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market is down 50% from its all-time high (ATH), implying that the list fails to accurately reflect current market volatility and the true state of his personal assets.

Arthur Hayes: Will Not Accumulate More Bitcoin Until Fed Restarts Money Printing

Odaily News: Arthur Hayes recently stated in a podcast that although he is long-term bullish on Bitcoin (predicting it will reach $250,000 by the end of 2026), he will not purchase any Bitcoin until the Federal Reserve (Fed) eases monetary policy and restarts the “money printer.”

Hayes pointed out that while the market generally believes war is good for Bitcoin, it is essentially “money printing that is good for Bitcoin.” He expressed concern that the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could lead to large-scale sell-offs in US stocks and Bitcoin, potentially even triggering a chain reaction of liquidations, causing Bitcoin to fall below $60,000. Currently, Bitcoin is priced around $69,926, down 45% from the all-time high (ATH) of $126,000 set in October last year. He emphasized that the best time to buy is only when the Fed restarts liquidity injection to support military spending or alleviate market pressure. (Cointelegraph)

TL，DR The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged this month, adhering to policy independence. While inflation has moderated, it remains above target. The job market shows resilience but new job additions have slowed. The overall policy stance remains cautious and steady. U.S. stocks experienced volatile upward movement at high levels, driven by AI and earnings expectations, but political uncertainty, fiscal expansion, and external risks continue to cause market disturbances. Looking ahead to February, if inflation continues to decline, U.S. stocks are expected to fluctuate upwards, but volatility from policy divergence and geopolitical risks still warrants caution. In January, both trading volume and total market capitalization in the crypto market exhibited range-bound volatility. Volume spikes lacked sustainability, reflecting a recovery in market activity but persistent divergence between bulls and bears, making…
