Author: Cookie, BlockBeats On January 30th, the U.S. Department of Justice publicly released the "Epstein Files" for the first time, immediately sparking widespread attention and discussion worldwide. When we see whether Elon Musk "went to the island," Bill Gates' extramarital affairs, or Federal Reserve Chairman nominee Kevin Warsh appearing on Epstein's party invitation list, these newly disclosed documents also deliver a series of shocking revelations about the cryptocurrency industry. The history of the cryptocurrency industry may finally be revealing just the tip of the iceberg and could be rewritten from here. Is Epstein a "Crypto OG"? As early as 2011, Epstein had already taken an interest in Bitcoin. That year, the total trading volume of Bitcoin did not exceed $100 million, and its price once surged past $30 before dropping another 90%. The email below

Writing: Cookie January 19th, according to official sources, ICE Group's New York Stock Exchange announced today that it is developing a platform for tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement, and will seek regulatory approval for this. The NYSE's new digital platform will support tokenized trading experiences, including 24/7 operation, instant settlement, order placement in USD amounts, and fund transfers based on stablecoins. Its design integrates the NYSE Pillar matching engine with a blockchain-based post-trade system, capable of supporting multi-chain settlement and custody. ICE Group President Lynn

One of the world's largest social media platforms, X, has carried out a "surgical" crackdown on its developer API policies, explicitly banning applications from rewarding users for posting on the platform. This move directly targets the core of the so-called "InfoFi" narrative in the crypto space. Relying on this model, leading project Kaito's token KAITO plummeted nearly 20%, and similar tokens like COOKIE from Cookie DAO also experienced a sharp decline. The product head of X openly stated that this move aims to eliminate "AI spam" and reply spam generated by incentives, thereby improving the platform's content quality. This sudden regulatory storm not only caused the market value of related tokens to evaporate but also forced platforms like Kaito and Cookie to urgently shut down their core incentive features and seek transformation. The incident exposes the significant policy risks inherent in crypto business models built on a single centralized platform and serves as a wake-up call for the entire crypto industry’s over-reliance on social data and the attention economy.

X recently announced the ban on InfoFi platform's API, leading to a decline in reach for related Crypto Twitter accounts and a drop in coin prices. Product manager Nikita Bier pointed out that the proliferation of low-value content makes it difficult for accounts to effectively reach their audience, and called on users to improve content quality. Platforms like Kaito and Cookie have been affected, and have adjusted their business strategies and launched new products to respond to policy changes.

Cryptographic computation Arcium On March 27, the crypto computing network Arcium announced the completion of its angel round financing, with investors covering multiple fields, including some community fundraising through echo.

Original Title: Major Update from the World's Largest Social Platform Telegram, Your Graphics Card Can Mine TON Now Original author: Cookie Source: Reprint: Mars Finance Yesterday, Telegram founder Pavel Durov tweeted that their decentralized privacy computing network Cocoon is officially live. The Cocoon network consists of 3 parts: Client: Initiate a work request to the agent and pay the fee to the agent once the request is completed. Proxy: Routes work requests to work nodes. The proxy is protected by TEE and will select suitable nodes for routing based on the device model, load, and reputation of the work nodes, and will pay the fees collected from clients to the nodes, which will also take a certain commission. Telegram plans to allow anyone to run their own proxy in the future.

Written by: Cookie From competing with bonk.fun to conducting and completing one of the largest ICOs in cryptocurrency history, this year’s Pump.fun, while not as spectacular in terms of profit as last year, is still quite successful. As of today, Pump.fun has spent nearly 1 million SOL (approximately $188 million) in fee income to repurchase 12.227% of the total supply of $PUMP. However, the continuous and large-scale buybacks have not improved the price of Pump.fun's token, which is still declining. The actions of Pump.fun and its co-founder alon have increasingly dissatisfied the market. The day before yesterday, Mario Nawfal, a major influencer with over 2.6 million followers, publicly criticized Pump.fun on his alternate account. "Immediately

According to Mars Finance, on November 12, the AI agent index platform project Cookie DAO announced that the Antix.in project activities have officially ended, and the snapshot of the first 500 Snappers was completed today at 8 PM Beijing time.

Original Title: Chillhouse Leading the Rise Alone, The Past and Present of the "Web3 Fun Person" Original Author: Cookie Source: Reprint: Daisy, Mars Finance The long-silent Solana meme has not been this lively in a long time, and it has happened in a way we could hardly imagine — Jesse Pollak, the head of the Base protocol, well-known crypto KOL Cobie, Solana founder Toly, and pump.fun founder alon are all "abstracting" around a Solana meme coin. Especially with the addition of the Base camp, it feels like a "breaking of taboos," which is even more unexpected for players in the current environment where various chains are competing vigorously. This

Author: Cookie Yesterday, a special Meme Gem was born on Base, and it is $PING. Based on the cost of the initial offering and the current coin price, a successful MINT yields approximately 18 times the Return. (The current market cap is $18 million, and the initial offering Return is close to 100 times.) The special feature of $PING is that its Minting reminds people of the inscriptions from two years ago. The cost to Mint $PING is about $1, and if successful, you can receive 5,000 $PING. The Minting page for $PING is also similar to those inscriptions from back then, lacking a fancy front-end, giving it a more hardcore feel. This is the first token issued through the x402 protocol. So, what is the x402 protocol? Why is the Minting process of $PING so special? And what is the current ecosystem situation of this protocol?
