A decade after the infamous 2016 hack that drained 3.6 million ETH, #TheDAO is making a historic comeback.
What's Happening: TheDAO Security Fund is activating 75,000+ ETH (~$220M) of unclaimed funds dormant since 2016. This will now strengthen Ethereum security.
Key Details: ◉ Fund Size: 75,000+ ETH (~$220M) ◉ Purpose: Security audits, tools, and DeFi protection ◉ Curators: Vitalik Buterin, Taylor Monahan, Alex Van de Sande ◉ Initial Grants: $13.5M for security projects
Why It Matters: The 2016 hack was Ethereum's darkest moment, forcing a hard fork that created Ethereum Classic. Now that painful history transforms into a defense system against crypto exploits.
#Bitcoin dumped below $85k, now trading near $84.4k. We called shorts at $95k–$98k, and price rejected from ~$98k, delivering nearly 12% downside already.
The bear flag breakdown remains active, downside continuation favored.
Targets: $75k → $70k Invalidation: HTF close above $90,600
Until then: sell rallies, respect the trend. Not financial advice. DYOR.

Lesson: Even well-funded projects can face serious internal fraud. Always monitor insider wallets and token unlocks before investing.
The Central Bank of UAE has officially approved $USDU, the country's first regulated USD stablecoin.
Key Details: → Issued by Universal Digital (Abu Dhabi regulated) → Reserves held 1:1 in Emirates NBD & Mashreq banks → First USD stablecoin under a central bank payments framework
Why It Matters: This puts UAE ahead of the US, EU, and most of Asia in regulated stablecoin infrastructure.

Clear signal: Institutional and sovereign support for stablecoins is growing fast.
#Metaplanet just filed official notice (Jan 29, 2026) for major capital raise: → 24.5M new shares at ¥499/share → Total raise: ~$137M (shares + stock rights) → Payment date: February 13, 2026 → Method: Third-party allotment (overseas)
All funds dedicated to buying more $BTC as they Target 210,000 BTC by 2027.
The #SEC just released major guidance on tokenized securities. Key point: Putting a security on blockchain doesn't change its legal status, same rules apply.
Two models identified: 1️⃣ Issuer-Sponsored (Safer): Tokens directly linked to official ownership records with full rights intact. 2️⃣ Third-Party Sponsored (Riskier): Custodial or synthetic tokens, exposure only, potential counterparty risks.
Why it matters: This is the regulatory clarity institutions needed. Combined with DTC's tokenization pilot launching this year, trillions in RWAs could move on-chain.
No new rules, just a clear roadmap for compliance.
