Odaily Planet Daily reports that Oleg Ogienko, Head of Regulatory and Overseas Affairs at A7A5, the issuer of the ruble-pegged stablecoin, stated that the company fully complies with Kyrgyz local regulations and international anti-money laundering standards in its operations and denies any illegal activities. Despite its issuing entity and reserve bank being placed on the US Treasury Department's sanctions list, the company continues to expand its business, aiming to become a crucial settlement channel for cross-border trade. A7A5 states that its stablecoin primarily serves Asian, African, and South American companies trading with Russia, providing cross-border payment solutions where some traditional financial channels are restricted. Ogienko stated that the company has established KYC and AML mechanisms and undergoes regular audits. Data shows that A7A5's circulating supply increased by approximately $90 billion last year, exceeding the growth rate of USDT and USDC. Industry analysts believe that the demand for alternative settlements created under sanctions is a significant reason for its rapid growth. At the same time, due to US sanctions against related entities, its business still faces high compliance and geopolitical risks.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that crypto market maker Wintermute has announced the official launch of its OTC platform for tokenized gold trading services for institutional clients, supporting two gold-pegged tokens: Pax Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT). This marks the company's official entry into the tokenized commodities market. Wintermute stated that it will provide institutional investors with blockchain-settled gold trading exposure through algorithmically optimized spot execution services. CEO Evgeny Gaevoy predicts that with increasing institutional demand, the tokenized gold market is expected to expand to $15 billion by 2026, approximately 2.8 times its current size. Data shows that in the fourth quarter of 2025, tokenized gold trading volume surpassed the five major gold ETFs for the first time, reaching a total trading volume of $126 billion. During the same period, the on-chain gold market capitalization grew by more than 80% within three months, from approximately $2.99 billion to $5.4 billion, reflecting the rising market demand for 24/7 liquidity and instant settlement.

According to data from Odaily Planet Daily, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 5 on February 12th, hitting an all-time low. This reflects the continued deterioration of crypto market sentiment over the past few months, with overall risk appetite declining significantly despite continued institutional investment in DeFi. The index measures market sentiment by combining indicators such as market volatility, momentum, social media activity, market dominance, and search trends, ranging from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). The current reading indicates the market has entered the extreme fear zone. Analysts believe this continued weakening sentiment is closely related to October 10th, 2025 (the "10/10" event). On that day, the crypto market experienced its largest liquidation event in history, with over $19 billion in leveraged positions forcibly liquidated within 24 hours, affecting over 1.6 million accounts. Bitcoin fell approximately 14% that day, while altcoins experienced even more dramatic declines, exposing insufficient liquidity and high-leverage structural risks in the derivatives market. Market confidence has yet to fully recover.
