First, Ctrip's overseas version
What does this mean? Travel and stock trading—two of the most common and essential global consumption scenarios—are opening their doors to on-chain stablecoins. Crypto assets are finally no longer just trading targets; they are beginning to serve as genuine payment infrastructure. From using UPay to pay for hotel rooms in Vietnam to exchanging U for USD to buy US stocks, the barriers are being broken

A panoramic scan of the 2025 crypto ecosystem:
Venture capitalists stuck in exit quagmires, exchanges exposed between hackers and regulators
Retail investors sinking in liquidations and runaways, project teams and OGs dancing on the edge of a knife
There is no eternal peak, only temporary survivors

Recently, the big pump of gold and silver has occurred. Today, spot gold has first broken $4490/ounce, and silver has also surged to $68/ounce.
The US November CPI cooled more than expected, leading to rising market expectations for interest rate cuts in 2026, which directly boosted the attractiveness of precious metals.
The crypto market is often referred to as digital gold, but when real gold and silver hit historical highs, I found that they are actually complementary safe-haven brothers.

As an old sucker, I have always felt that games are the real high-pressure testing ground for Blockchain.
It doesn't emphasize strategic depth like DeFi, but it requires extreme real-time capability, stability, and speed — and SEI is synonymous with high performance and speed.
Recently, the Q3 data from Sei Network really caught my attention:
The game's trading volume reached 116 million transactions, with an average of 805,000 active addresses daily, a month-on-month increase of 138%.

SWIFT is utilizing Ethereum L2 Linea technology to develop an encryption ledger, and is currently conducting prototype testing, with over 30 banks collaborating to support real-time payments, messaging, and stablecoin Settlement.
If the test goes smoothly, it means that more institutions will participate in the future. SWIFT connects over 11,500 financial institutions worldwide and processes approximately $150 trillion in transactions each year. If it implements the ledger on Ethereum L2, it would be significant for Ethereum.
