Crypto has rapidly gained popularity since 2021, with its definition becoming increasingly rich, encompassing features such as decentralization and trustlessness. It originated from Bitcoin and has expanded into broader fields due to innovations like Ethereum. Crypto natives play the role of innovators, committed to reshaping financial and social structures, pursuing personal sovereignty and an open future.

The article analyzes the five major obstacles to the large-scale adoption of Crypto Assets, including restricted institutional funding access, poor user onboarding channels, lack of investment targets that meet demand, difficulties for developers entering the field, and insufficient infrastructure. At the same time, it points out the positive signs in the current market, such as the potential listing of Bitcoin Spot ETF, payment companies launching stablecoins, and the rise of Real World Assets (RWA), all of which help promote its popularization.

The new regulations from the U.S. Treasury classify DeFi platforms as "broker-dealers," requiring them to collect user transaction data and report to the IRS. This policy reflects a new colonial model in the digital asset space, aiming to control global capital flows through taxation. Industry response strategies include partial compliance, complete exit, or Decentralization. This policy brings challenges but also provides opportunities for industry transformation. The future of the encryption industry may find a new balance between compliance and freedom.

Recently, a well-known Decentralized Finance protocol released a security review report after being attacked by a Hacker. Although this report performed excellently in technical details and emergency response, it appeared vague when explaining the root cause of the attack.
The report focuses on discussing function check errors in an open-source mathematical library, classifying them as "semantic misunderstandings." This statement is technically correct, but it cleverly shifts the focus to external factors, suggesting that the protocol itself is also a victim of this technical flaw.
However, a careful analysis of the hacker attack path reveals that successfully implementing the attack requires meeting four conditions simultaneously: erroneous overflow checks, significant bit shifting operations, rounding up rules, and a lack of economic rationality verification. Surprisingly, this protocol has shown negligence in every triggering condition.
This exposes several key issues:
1. Why was there insufficient security testing when adopting the generic external library? Although the library is open source

The integration of AI and Web3: Building a new generation of infrastructure
When a true paradigm shift occurs in technology, we often see the hype before the system. The current wave of AI is exactly like that. As an investor, I firmly believe that focusing on the deepest transformative forces in the industry is far more valuable than chasing surface narratives.
In the past year, various projects have been exploring the intersection between the real world and blockchain systems. However, a clear trend is that, regardless of the project direction, there is a need to integrate AI collaboration logic to enhance competitiveness and efficiency. For example, RWA projects need to consider how to leverage AI for risk control optimization and dynamic pricing; consumers and DeFi projects require AI for user behavior prediction and strategy generation.
It can be said that whether it is asset digitization or experience optimization, these seemingly independent narratives will ultimately converge on the same technical logic: if the infrastructure does not possess the ability to integrate and carry AI,

AI Agent and DeSci: A Review of Tokens and Trend Analysis Under the Emerging Wave
Preface
In the past six months, there has been a surge in the market regarding the emerging forces of AI Agents and DeSci. From the perspective of narrative hype, AI Agents focus on their immense potential in autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution, excelling at solving problems through algorithms; while DeSci is dedicated to breaking down the traditional barriers of scientific research using blockchain technology, achieving data sharing and transparency, and promoting decentralized knowledge sharing and research funding. This article will summarize and categorize the currently prominent and promising AI Agent and DeSci-related Tokens.
1. The Intelligent Chariot of AI Agent
1.1 Overview of AI Agent
AI Agent is an intelligent system that possesses autonomy and goal orientation, capable of perceiving the environment and planning actions.

2023 is an important year for the development of the Polkadot ecosystem, with various events and trends emerging, including the delivery of Polkadot 1.0 and the proposal of Polkadot 2.0, the rise of modular blockchain, and strengthened regulation. Looking ahead to 2024, Polkadot will launch new technologies to further promote decentralization, while the BTC ecosystem and DePIN projects are expected to see greater development. The entire ecosystem, driven by new technologies and market conditions, indicates future vitality and innovation.

This article introduces how to interact with the 5ireChain Testnet, focusing on the installation of the 5ire Wallet and its usage steps. Users need to manually download and install the Wallet, and after creating the Wallet, they can perform operations such as receiving test Tokens, swapping, and transferring. Participating in the Testnet helps understand new technologies and may bring potential opportunities.

AI Bots startup raises $11 million in funding, dedicated to advancing physical generative AI development.
A new company focused on a Bots intelligence platform recently announced the completion of a $11 million financing round and made its debut on the demo day of a well-known venture capital firm's crypto startup accelerator. This round of financing was led by a leading investment institution, with participation from several well-known funds and angel investors.
This company was co-founded by two experts with extensive experience in robotics technology and decentralized technology. Their goal is to build and scale foundational models to provide the core driving force for breakthrough advancements in the field of physical generative artificial intelligence.
Despite the continuous influx of venture capital, the physical artificial intelligence and Bots industry has yet to establish an effective incentive mechanism that can produce high-quality, affordable data. To address this issue, the company is developing an industry-first fair use standard: to allow the data that drives the models.

Hong Kong is facing opportunities and challenges, aiming to become a global Web3 hub. Despite having a mature financial framework and policy support, it needs to address the existing regulatory mismatch with rapid development and the lack of technological infrastructure. By learning from experiences, Hong Kong is expected to promote innovation and Risk Management.

Research on the Liquidity Fragmentation Issue in the Layer 2 Era
With Ethereum shifting towards Layer 2-centric scaling solutions, coupled with the rise of tools like RaaS, many public chains have rapidly developed. Numerous entities are eager to build their own chains to represent different interests and seek higher valuations. However, the emergence of many public chains has made it difficult for the development of the ecosystem to keep pace with the public chains, resulting in many projects experiencing a price drop at the time of TGE.
