By 2025, public blockchains may no longer be the sexy track of grand narratives, because what users truly care about is no longer throughput, the size of funding rounds, or the豪华 backing behind them, but whether there are real users experiencing genuine growth. Are there on-chain transactions with real value? Are there developers who can stay long-term, and applications that can grow beyond the circle? During this year, some public chains have transitioned from "being discussed" to "being used," some have chosen to slow down and refine their underlying capabilities, and others have validated their long-term paths through market fluctuations. "2025 OKX Public Chain Friends" is not a review of a grand narrative, but an invitation for frontline participants to clarify what has truly been achieved this year, which judgments have been proven correct, and where further adjustments are needed—because these are the core issues that communities and users care about most. By 2025, OKX's collaborations with multiple public chains will no longer be limited to single instances.

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council and one of the final candidates for the Fed chair, has recently been vocal, defending the independence of the Fed on one hand and emphasizing that interest rate decisions need to be based on consensus and data; on the other hand, he clearly stated that there is "ample room" for unconventional rate cuts. Hassett is viewed as a close friend of President Trump, and his candidacy is under significant pressure regarding its independent nature due to this relationship. He suggested that the productivity leap brought by artificial intelligence provides a historic window for the Fed to implement a more accommodative monetary policy, and his policy thinking has been interpreted by the market as leaning towards "Greenspan-style" adaptive management. This personnel competition not only concerns the monetary policy path of the United States for the coming years, but the outcome of the independence struggle will also profoundly affect global risk assets, including the liquidity expectations of Bitcoin and Crypto Assets markets.

Author: Yokiiiya Stablehunter Today I was chatting with a friend, and he raised a very interesting question: "If Crypto × Fintech really creates gains over the next 10 years, who will be the biggest winners? In other words, the 'Mag7' of this field."

Introduction Today, I was chatting with a friend, and he posed a very interesting question: “If Crypto × Fintech truly creates gains over the next 10 years, who will be the biggest winners? In other words, which companies will make up the ‘Mag7’ in this field?” Revolut, Robinhood, Coinbase, Stripe... These are obviously among the first names that come to mind. Over the past decade, they have already proven their ability to reinvent a part of traditional finance. But as we continued talking, I suddenly realized that my previous mental framework had a misconception. I was always asking—“What parts of traditional finance haven’t been recreated yet?” Essentially, this logic is still about finding gaps on an old map. But what we should really be asking is: which companies are not just digitizing old

The internal personnel layout of the White House is quietly influencing the future direction of U.S. monetary policy. Current White House economic advisor and Director of the National Economic Council (NEC) Kevin Hassett has become the most popular candidate to succeed current Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in the Trump administration. Trump is expected to formally announce the nomination before Christmas, and Hassett is garnering attention not only because of his deep connections with Trump's camp but also because he is seen as a friend of Crypto Assets, which has led to high market expectations. Who is Kevin Hassett? Hassett's career in economic policy spans thirty years, from teaching at Columbia Business School in the 1990s, to serving as a policy advisor at the Treasury Department, and then working as an economist in the Federal Reserve's research and statistics division, with experience across academia, government, and regulatory agencies. During the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Clinton, he was involved in the formulation of fiscal policy.

Author: Huang Shiliang I have always advised a few relatives and friends to make use of chatgpt, but they still feel that it's unnecessary to pay for it, probably because they are reluctant to spend. I keep saying that this small subscription fee can help you earn it back with AI, and I've been teaching one of them, trying to cultivate a successful case, but I haven't succeeded yet. Many years ago, a friend who was engaged in quantitative arbitrage tried to sell me his strategy. The core of the PPT he presented was a partial differential equation, and I couldn't understand it at all. But he said this is how to extract gold from mathematics. In 2017, the mainstream method for managing ETH private keys was not mnemonic phrases, but rather keystore(json) files. I often imported the same set of keystore files into myetherwallet and metamask wallets to interact with different contracts, as the wallet functionalities of Ethereum at that time had their own strengths and weaknesses.

My friend Nic Carter recently revived the old cliché that Bitcoin is the center of the cryptocurrency universe, and everything else is just celestial bodies revolving around it. Original link This statement seems to reflect a stubborn tone among Bitcoin supporters in discussions, with a Bitcoin supporter occasionally tweeting to reiterate this point in response to certain emerging hot topics. Subsequently, other Bitcoin supporters flock to like the tweet until its popularity reaches "escape velocity." However, this general view is incorrect and can only come from those who believe that Bitcoin is the center of the cryptocurrency universe. this

Introduction Today, a friend forwarded me an article by lawyer Zhang Suhang, a fellow attorney in the industry, titled "Airdrop Studio Raided! 5 Million Illegal Gains Confiscated!" He wanted me to analyze whether there is really such a significant risk involved in participating in airdrops. After carefully reading Lawyer Zhang's article, I believe that, as a fellow crypto lawyer, it is necessary to combine my practical experience, understanding of VPN usage (i.e., "scientific internet access"), involvement in airdrops, and long-term dealings with public security authorities to write an article analyzing this matter. 1. Case Overview According to Lawyer Zhang's article, he is currently handling a case involving a studio that was raided, involving three individuals who earned 3 million yuan in a year through airdrops. Generally speaking, in legal jargon, "being raided" actually means "being pressured," which involves criminal activity. However, Lawyer Zhang's article states that his clients were not involved in criminal activities related to virtual currencies but violated relevant laws concerning VPN usage. Therefore, they were...

Mandarin pop superstar Jay Chou has issued a "Jianghu Pursuit Order" to find his friend Cai Weize, accusing him of going missing. Jay Chou entrusted Cai Weize with 100 million New Taiwan Dollars to purchase Bitcoin, but now his assets are unaccounted for. This situation highlights the systemic tax and legal risks associated with crypto asset custody in Taiwan. In Taiwan, income from Bitcoin trading is subject to a 40% income tax. If there is no sufficient evidence to prove the entrusted relationship, custody arrangements could be presumed to be a "gratuitous gift," resulting in a 20% gift tax, leading to double taxation.

1. Introduction On October 15, 2025, Chinese-language music superstar Jay Chou posted two messages on Instagram, calling out Taiwan’s well-known magician Cai Weize. He angrily accused Cai of going missing and warned, “If you don’t show up again, you’re finished,” then unfollowed Cai, which quickly became a trending topic. According to public reports, Jay Chou had entrusted a magician friend with 100 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately 23 million RMB) several years ago to purchase and manage Bitcoin. However, the friend has since gone missing, and the assets are unaccounted for. Both individuals involved are Taiwanese and are subject to Taiwan’s tax laws. Jay Chou’s act of entrusting his friend to hold the Bitcoin was unrelated to tax evasion; it was most likely due to the complexity of the crypto space and a matter of trust. The type of arrangement involved in this incident—where the owner delegates asset management to a third party—is common in the field of cryptocurrency investments. Such arrangements often involve complex parties and multiple tax considerations.

Jay Chou's recent behavior has raised concerns; the usually private "Zhou Dong" who shares music creations and family life suddenly posted two updates looking for someone, directly pointing to his longtime magician friend Cai Weize. Jay Chou stated: "This friend has disappeared for a while, giving a lot of excuses, and I believed them all. Please perform well. Do you think I'm not a magician? If you don't show up soon, you're finished." A few years ago, Jay Chou entrusted Cai Weize with 100 million New Taiwan Dollars to manage, but now the manager has gone missing.

OpenAI founder Sam Altman announced that by the end of the year, the content restrictions on ChatGPT will be relaxed, allowing "verified adults" to generate adult content, and emphasized that this will be accompanied by stricter age verification and mental health protections to ensure that teenage users are not affected. ChatGPT will officially lift adult restrictions in December, providing erotic content. Altman stated that a new version of ChatGPT will be launched, allowing users to customize the conversation style of their AI assistant. The updated version will support more human-like responses, such as using a lot of emojis, mimicking a friend's tone, and even shaping different personality settings. However, what has drawn the most attention is the plan to officially open adult-only content in December. Adult users who have undergone age verification will be able to generate erotic content, marking the first time such restrictions have been lifted since the launch of ChatGPT.

According to Mars Finance, a 60-something church accountant has been requested to be arrested by the Jeonnam Mokpo Police Station in South Korea for suspected embezzlement. The man is accused of misappropriating approximately 480 million won in donations from July last year to August this year, which were supposed to be used for church construction but were instead transferred into a friend's account and invested in Crypto Assets, ultimately resulting in total losses. The case is currently under further investigation.

Early this morning, BTC investor and Kraken exchange market director Dan Held posted a message that was vastly different from his previous consistent stance: Translate this: "Bitcoin is the air software of a Ponzi scheme, only money launderers and criminals would use it, and it also harms the environment." I have returned to the fiat currency system. Fiat currency is fully trustworthy, under comprehensive control, and returns power to banks and governments that always prioritize our interests. As soon as the post was released, many netizens, especially his fans, were dumbfounded and didn't know which performance he was portraying. Someone cautiously replied in the comments asking: This should be a post for April Fool's Day, right? But take a look at the calendar. It's now September 15, 2025. It's not April Fool's Day. Look at this post, this expression, this tone.

Author: Ben Fairbank Compiled: Plain Language Blockchain A friend recently described the current cryptocurrency market as a "broken record"—Bitcoin and Ethereum are consolidating, and the time for altcoins to test resistance levels feels endless, with many coins testing far beyond the usual 3 times before confirmation or failure. If you're a newcomer, this silence can be deafening. After all the headlines about ETFs, institutional influx, and halving cycles, why is the altcoin bull market still delayed? Veteran traders who have experienced previous cycles understand that these boring periods are the times for wealth allocation, not for cashing out. For newcomers, the long wait feels eternal, while for veterans, it is still a phase of fear and panic, as they know there isn't much time left to complete their final position allocation. In 2017 and 2021, we witnessed a surge of funds flowing into Bitcoin.

Many people think of Musk as a billionaire who spends money recklessly and starts companies haphazardly. However, the Wolf of Wall Street believes that each company Musk starts and the madness behind it are actually preparations for the most audacious colonization plan in human history: to build infrastructure for human migration to Mars. Musk genuinely wants to send humans to live on Mars, and his friend Cathie Wood has mentioned this multiple times in interviews; this is Musk's ultimate dream. This article is excerpted from the newsletter of Jordan Belfort, the real-life figure portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" and now a writer and educator. After Musk fell out with Trump, there was much pessimism, but the most greedy representative of Wall Street explains why Musk is serious. He meticulously reveals that Musk's seemingly scattered starting of companies is actually a well-thought-out strategic plan, and even entrepreneurs can see Musk.

Source: Talking about Li, talking about the outside Although ETH has seen a good price increase recently, if you entered the market just over the past year, looking back at the overall situation of your holdings over the past year, you will find that many times the ETH you hold can rival stablecoins, especially when you see some other coins continuously rising and hitting new highs, while the value of your ETH position seems as stagnant as "a pool of stagnant water" with no activity. In investing, it seems there are two extremes: one is giving up too early, and the other is being unwilling to give up. A few days ago, I happened to see a friend leaving a comment complaining that he invested 20,000 USD to buy ETH last year. Now, a year has passed, and although ETH has increased in price again, his account still shows 20,000 USD, which means he wasted a year. He wished he had just bought BTC back then. Actually, it is just
