• The meme token 币安人生 has successfully secured a spot listing on Binance.

• This is a highly unusual case, as no token primarily based on the Chinese language has ever been listed on Binance before, making this listing particularly noteworthy.

• Starting with 币安人生, the door is now open for tokens based on various national languages to potentially be listed on Binance in the future. Naturally, Chinese-language meme tokens—considered the highest priority—saw the largest price increases following this development.

• Adding to the momentum, Binance founder CZ publicly posted on his social media that he was considering naming the Chinese edition of his autobiography “币安人生,” further amplifying the buzz around the token.

While many meme tokens have previously been listed on Binance’s spot market, 币安人生 is the first to be based on Chinese language usage. Until now, Binance had supported only English-based token tickers, but this move suggests a new strategic direction: if a token becomes sufficiently relevant or viral, Binance may support not only Chinese but potentially other languages as well.

Some users argue that supporting Chinese-language tokens like 币安人生 could be seen as favoring China, given that many top exchanges have Chinese origins. However, to date, no other meme token built around a specific language has generated trading volume comparable to 币安人生. Whether Binance will go on to support meme tokens based on other national languages remains to be seen and will be an important trend to watch going forward.

• On Kalshi, a prediction market was opened on whether a White House press briefing would last longer than 65 minutes.

• As the briefing time approached, a situation emerged where money heavily flowed into the “Yes” outcome, pushing the implied probability that the briefing would exceed 65 minutes to 98%.

• However, just a few dozen seconds before the 65-minute mark, the briefing was abruptly ended with a final “Thank you,” and the speaker left the podium.

• Because of the almost perfect timing, many people began to speculate that the briefing may have been intentionally cut short so that someone could profit by betting on the opposite outcome, giving rise to conspiracy theories.

As prediction markets grow in size, bets on even highly specific events—such as the duration of a White House briefing—have begun to appear. This incident became one of the more notable examples. The fact that the briefing ended mere seconds before 65 minutes led to rumors that Karoline, who was conducting the briefing, may have personally bet against the outcome and ended it early to secure profits.

In reality, this is highly unlikely. The total betting volume on this prediction was only around $3,000, making it structurally impossible to generate meaningful profits. Moreover, although prediction markets have expanded, they are still unfamiliar to the general public, and not every event needs to be interpreted as intentional or manipulated.

It is also important to recognize that many topics listed on prediction markets are inherently susceptible to manipulation by specific individuals, and this risk should be taken into account when interpreting such markets.

• As part of Phase 2 measures to allow corporate participation in the digital asset market, listed companies and registered professional investors will be permitted to invest up to 5% of their equity capital in cryptocurrencies.

• The final guidelines are expected to be released in January–February, and eligible investment targets will be limited to the top 20 cryptocurrencies by quarterly market capitalization, based on disclosures from Korea’s five major exchanges.

• Whether stablecoins such as USDT and USDC will be included is still under discussion. Some market participants argue that, compared to overseas standards, the 5% cap is excessively restrictive.

• If corporate crypto investment moves forward in earnest, it is estimated that capital from approximately 3,500 corporations could flow into the market.

The roadmap for corporate participation in the digital asset market is structured in three phases.

Phase 1 allows limited participation, permitting non-profit organizations and public research institutions to sell digital assets they already hold. This phase was implemented on June 1, 2025, when World Vision became the first organization in Korea to sell Ethereum on Upbit and convert it into cash.

Phase 2, planned for 2026, will allow listed companies and corporations registered as professional investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies up to a maximum of 5% of their equity capital. The exact timing may vary depending on the National Assembly’s legislative schedule, but approximately 3,500 corporations are expected to be eligible, suggesting a significant potential impact.

Phase 3 would expand participation to general unlisted corporations, enabling full corporate participation in the crypto market. This would effectively represent the complete institutionalization of digital assets. However, this phase is expected to proceed only after crypto taxation and related regulatory frameworks are fully established and taxation has begun, meaning it will likely take more time to be realized.

• Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, announced a revision to X’s API policy, stating that so-called InfoFi models—which reward users for posting content on X—will no longer be permitted on the platform.

• Following this announcement, Cookie shut down all campaigns on its Snaps platform, while Kaito terminated Yaps and its incentive leaderboard, pivoting instead to Kaito Studio, a creator collaboration platform.

• After the news became public, both the COOKIE and KAITO token prices dropped sharply.

• One major point of controversy is that InfoFi projects such as Kaito and Cookie were reportedly aware of the upcoming X policy changes before Nikita Bier’s public announcement, yet failed to take preemptive action. As a result, token holders bore the brunt of the losses.

As X-based InfoFi projects shut down in response to the API policy changes, Kaito—one of the flagship InfoFi platforms—has transitioned to its own creator collaboration platform, Kaito Studio, while Cookie and other lower-profile projects are expected to fully discontinue their InfoFi models.

In the early days, InfoFi often surfaced genuinely valuable market information, but over time the space deteriorated. An increasing number of users began posting sensational or misleading content solely to farm rewards, leading to widespread content fatigue. Moreover, the use of AI to automatically generate posts and comments created an overwhelming amount of low-quality, spam-like data, which from X’s perspective amounted to an unsustainable level of noise.

In this sense, X’s policy change can be seen as an effort to eliminate the problem at its root. Going forward, InfoFi models without their own independent social platforms are likely to struggle to remain viable.

• The SUI mainnet was halted on January 14, 2026, due to a consensus failure.

• The total downtime lasted approximately six hours, with about one hour passing between the network halt and the official announcement.

• After completing a patch to address the consensus issue and coordinating with validators, the team was able to restore the network to normal operation.

• As a result of the outage, the price of SUI briefly dropped by around 10%, raising concerns about the network’s overall stability.

SUI, which trades within the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, experienced a roughly six-hour shutdown caused by a malfunction in its consensus mechanism. Although the SUI team responded quickly and restored the network, such outages are rare in the absence of major chain-level upgrades, leading many to question the reliability and robustness of the network.

In addition, the double-digit price decline reflected a noticeable cooling of market expectations toward SUI compared to the past. If similar mainnet downtime incidents were to occur again in the future, confidence in SUI could deteriorate significantly.

• Babylon is a trustless protocol that allows Bitcoin to be used as a security asset for PoS chains without relying on bridges or centralized custodians. A key feature is that Bitcoin holders can retain full custody of their assets while still earning staking rewards.

• Even before its TGE, Babylon’s technology had already been recognized, raising $96M from top-tier VCs such as IDG Capital, Polychain, and Paradigm. However, despite a TVL of $5.5B, the BABY token is currently trading at a relatively low valuation, with an FDV of $184M and a market cap of around $50M.

• Despite the continued decline in the BABY token price, Babylon recently secured an additional $15M investment from a16z Crypto to support the expansion of its BTC Vaults.

• Starting April 1, VC token unlocks will begin. Around the same time, Babylon is scheduled to be integrated with Aave V4, enabling native BTC to be used as collateral within the protocol.

Babylon has been favorably differentiated from other Bitcoin L2 solutions due to its ability to stake native Bitcoin directly—without bridging it to another chain—while earning rewards. The protocol successfully attracted a significant amount of Bitcoin deposits, fueling high expectations for the BABY token.

However, after the TGE, the BABY token suffered from a lack of clear utility, and since staking rewards were paid in BABY tokens, continuous sell pressure naturally emerged, leading to a steady price decline. The current FDV of $184M appears relatively low compared to the total capital raised to date.

If the upcoming Aave V4 integration in April successfully demonstrates a proof of concept for using native BTC as collateral on Ethereum via Babylon’s BTC Vaults, it could have a positive impact on the BABY token’s valuation.

• Genius Terminal is a privacy-focused cross-chain trading terminal.

• It supports spot trading, futures, copy trading, token launches, and yield farming within a single interface, and is usable across more than 10 blockchains.

• On January 13, Genius received a strategic investment from YZi Labs, drawing significant attention due to the unusual move of CZ joining the project as an advisor.

• In response to some criticism, CZ clarified that Genius is not a competitor to Aster, but rather a platform focused on connecting Perpetual DEXs for private trading.

Genius is a terminal platform that enables on-chain private trading through its “Ghost Order” feature. With CZ participating as an advisor and investment from YZi Labs, the project has attracted strong interest from users who believe Binance may actively support Genius, similar to how it has supported Aster.

The platform is currently in open access. Its Launchpads section provides a unified view of token launches on BNB Chain and Solana, while the Perps section currently supports Hyperliquid and Aster, with plans to expand to more than 10 networks in the future.

Genius operates a points system called GP through its terminal and has already hinted at a future token launch via a dedicated Airdrop tab. Users who accumulate GP points are therefore highly likely to be eligible for a future token airdrop.

With its strong privacy-focused value proposition and the backing of Binance-related capital and CZ as an advisor, Genius is widely expected to deliver strong performance at its TGE.

• CoinList is an ICO platform that historically enabled early access to major tokens such as SOL, FLOW, and IMX.

• Recently, CoinList has undergone a significant transformation, shifting toward a non-custodial, on-chain operating model to improve regulatory compliance and user experience.

• One of the most notable changes is the major overhaul of the KYC process, an area that had long been plagued by errors. CoinList has now significantly simplified KYC, introducing a faster and more streamlined verification flow.

• Previously, users were required to complete lengthy questionnaires, respond to unnecessary additional requests, and often wait through manual review processes. Under the new system, automatic approval is granted after verifying an ID and completing a simple biometric check.

CoinList has served as a gateway for early-stage token investments, facilitating sales for a large number of projects. Among them were standout successes such as SOL, ONDO, FLOW, and IMX, which delivered multi-fold returns relative to their initial sale prices, driving widespread adoption of the platform.

However, as token sale performance has deteriorated in recent years, user activity declined, prompting CoinList to pursue a comprehensive upgrade. To address long-standing user frustrations—particularly around frequent KYC failures and manual deposit/withdrawal processes—the platform is simplifying its infrastructure and transitioning to non-custodial, on-chain operations.

While many projects launching on CoinList struggle to maintain their token prices, the platform occasionally surfaces high-quality opportunities with strong outcomes. For this reason, CoinList remains a platform worth monitoring consistently, despite its mixed recent performance.

• The Solana Seeker smartphone is set to launch its native token, SKR.

• The total token supply is 10 billion SKR, of which 18% will be airdropped to users who have purchased and fully activated a Seeker phone.

• Airdrop recipients are categorized into five different tiers, and allocations vary based on actual Seeker phone usage. In some cases, users may receive a reduced allocation or be excluded entirely.

• Starting January 21, 2026, SKR tokens can be claimed for 90 days via the Seed Vault Wallet. While no exchanges have yet announced SKR listings, many are optimistic due to Seeker’s growing significance within the Solana ecosystem.

Solana Mobile’s Seeker is launching its own token, SKR, and expectations are high. The Seeker phone has already been adopted by a large user base and functions as core infrastructure for the Solana mobile ecosystem, which has further fueled anticipation around the SKR token.

With the TGE scheduled for January 21, Seeker owners will be eligible to receive the SKR airdrop. Although no exchanges have officially confirmed listings yet, the project has received strong public support from Solana co-founder Toly, who has referenced it multiple times, increasing confidence in a strong debut.

Personally, SKR stands out as one of the Solana ecosystem tokens most worth watching in the near term. That said, given the relatively large airdrop allocation, a long-term holding strategy is not recommended.

• Nansen is an on-chain analytics platform that provides labeling for over 500 million wallets and advanced smart money tracking features.

• The company has raised a total of $88.2M from top-tier venture capital firms including Mechanism Capital, a16z Crypto, Accel, and Coinbase Ventures, and launched its native points program in June 2025.

• To accumulate points, users must engage in paid Nansen subscriptions, coin staking, and various quests. A Nansen Pro subscription costs $588, granting users 5,880 points immediately.

• In Season 2, users can earn points based on in-app DEX trading volume. However, this method is considered inefficient relative to transaction costs, making staking long-term assets to earn bonus points a more favorable strategy.

Nansen is preparing for a token launch through its points-based system. Participation effectively requires a paid Nansen Pro subscription, along with completing staking and quest activities.

Points accumulated through Nansen are expected to be used for a future token airdrop. Given that Nansen is backed by prominent VC firms and is considered an essential platform for on-chain crypto intelligence, it is widely expected that the token will achieve broad exchange listings at TGE.

As such, accumulating as many points as possible could be a worthwhile strategy for those aiming for meaningful airdrop rewards.

• Following 2025, a large number of projects are once again approaching their TGEs in 2026.

• Some community members have even gone so far as to create and share tier lists of projects they expect to deliver large token airdrops.

• These tier lists are typically divided into S, A, B, C, and D tiers, but since opinions vary widely, it is important to clearly understand the criteria behind each ranking.

• In the image referenced, Base, Polymarket, Kalshi, MegaETH, OpenSea, and Pumpfun are placed in the S tier. This ranking appears to reflect a combination of market expectations, potential airdrop size, and valuation, and is a level that many people would likely agree with.

• However, projects placed in the A, B, C, and D tiers are based on more ambiguous and subjective criteria, making disagreement inevitable. For this reason, it is important to research each project individually and establish your own evaluation framework.

In 2025, dozens of projects launched tokens every single day, and 2026 is expected to be no different, with an overwhelming number of projects still waiting to launch. As a result, classifying projects into S, A, B, C, and D tiers based on valuation and expected airdrop size has become something of a trend.

Most lists place Base, Polymarket, Kalshi, MegaETH, OpenSea, and Pumpfun in the top S tier. Personally, while Polymarket and Kalshi are highly valued due to their prediction market narratives, I believe that in terms of airdrop rewards, Base and OpenSea are more likely to deliver larger distributions.

I also find it difficult to consider Pumpfun as an S-tier project. It has already launched its token, and the promised airdrop has been repeatedly delayed, so in my view it should be excluded from the list.

Ultimately, perceptions of each project vary significantly from person to person. Rather than relying blindly on tier lists, it is more useful to use them as a reference point and form your own opinions and evaluation s.
