⚡️The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission opens up to licensed virtual asset brokers for margin financing

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission today issued new guidelines allowing licensed brokers providing virtual asset trading services (virtual asset brokers) to expand their range of services related to margin financing, while establishing a high-level policy framework to guide virtual asset exchanges, helping them develop proposals for leveraged products related to virtual assets intended to be offered to professional investors.

The Securities and Futures Commission is diversifying its products and services according to its ASPIRe roadmap. As one of the latest measures, the Commission now allows virtual asset brokers to provide virtual asset financing services for their securities margin clients, provided they have sufficient collateral and establish robust investor protection.

This move will encourage margin clients with solid credit status and collateral to participate more actively in virtual asset trading, thereby enhancing the liquidity of the Hong Kong market within the framework of risk controls.

For licensed virtual asset exchanges, the Securities and Futures Commission is building a high-level policy framework for the first time to guide them in developing perpetual contracts exclusively for professional investors participating and classified as leveraged products.

This move aims to assist investors in implementing risk management strategies and enhance the liquidity of the spot market. $BTC

Co-founder of Story responds to the postponement of token unlock, stating that the project still needs time to build use cases

Co-founder of Story Protocol SY Lee responded to the project's postponement of the first large-scale IP token unlock until August 2026, stating that the blockchain network still needs "more time" to build real use cases.

This postponement extends for 6 months, and the tokens of the team and investors will continue to be locked to reduce short-term circulation pressure. SY Lee stated that the current on-chain revenue being nearly zero cannot accurately reflect the business situation of Story, as their business model does not rely on Gas fees but rather through off-chain methods providing data licensing services created by humans for AI training.

He pointed out that the project is shifting from tokenizing media content to human "non-collectible" contribution data and enterprise-level licensing collaboration, which, while this adjustment may reduce on-chain revenues that can be seen in the short term, helps fulfill long-term commitments and reduce token supply pressure. $IP

Tether has gold reserves exceeding 23 billion USD, ranking among the top 30 largest holders in the world

Wall Street investment bank Jefferies released a report stating that the stablecoin issuer Tether has been continuously increasing its gold holdings. As of January 31, their gold reserves have risen to about 148 tons, valued at approximately 23 billion USD at current prices, surpassing many sovereign nations and ranking among the top 30 largest gold holders in the world.

The report indicates that Tether increased its gold holdings by about 26 tons in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continued to add approximately 6 tons in January of this year, with their quarterly gold purchases ranking just behind a few central banks in countries like Poland and Brazil.

Currently, their gold reserves have surpassed those of countries such as Australia, the UAE, Qatar, South Korea, and Greece. Jefferies pointed out that the aforementioned gold is primarily used to back the USD stablecoin USDT and the gold-backed token XAUT.

Since Tether is a private company, the disclosed data may be minimal, and the actual gold holdings could be higher than the published figures. Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino previously stated that the company plans to allocate about 10%-15% of its investment portfolio into physical gold. $BTC

Co-founder of Story defends the delay in unlocking tokens, arguing that the project needs 'more time'

Story Protocol has postponed the first IP token unlock by an additional 6 months to August 2026, maintaining the token lock for the team and investors while seeking to build more users.

Co-founder SY Lee argued that on-chain revenue being almost zero is a misleading metric because Story's business model focuses on off-chain licensing of human-generated datasets to train AI instead of gas fees.

The project is shifting from tokenized media to 'non-collectible' data contributed by humans and enterprise licensing agreements. $IP

Bitcoin has been continuously below the 100-week moving average for 13 days, with the historical average being 267 days.

Coin Bureau CEO Nic stated that Bitcoin has closed below the 100-week moving average for the third consecutive week.

Currently, the price has been consistently below this long-term trend line for 13 days. Historical data shows that after BTC breaks below the long-term trend line, it typically maintains an average of 267 days below this level.

The shortest period was 34 days during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, based on historical experience, the market is likely to remain low for a longer period. A quick recovery may still occur, but the longer Bitcoin stays low, the less likely this becomes.
