Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Optimism DAO began voting on a landmark proposal on January 23rd, suggesting that 50% of the Optimism Superchain network's revenue be used for monthly buybacks of OP governance tokens. However, the proposal has sparked controversy within the community. Supporters like Milo Bowman believe the buyback plan would boost the token price and demonstrate growth potential; while opponents like GFX Labs worry that the buyback, conducted through over-the-counter trading, lacks market transparency and could potentially impact the project's financial sustainability. Currently, delegates have cast over 3.8 million votes in favor of the proposal, with only approximately 19,000 votes against. Voting will continue until January 28th. (DL News)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that spot silver historically broke through $100 per ounce on Friday, officially entering the "triple-digit era," with a gain of nearly 40% in less than a month since the start of the year. This is mainly attributed to investors' preference for safe-haven assets, a weak dollar, and strong industrial demand. Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen stated, "Momentum has clearly become a significant part of this market trend, with FOMO (fear of missing out) playing a significant role as prices enter uncharted territory." However, he also pointed out, "It would be a mistake to simply view this rally as purely speculative." (Jinshi)

According to Coinbase Institutional's latest Charting Crypto report, after the adjustment at the end of 2025, the crypto market's structural foundation is more solid in the first few months of 2026, market positioning is improving, and the market environment is more balanced, a trend expected to continue into the first quarter. The decline in the fourth quarter of last year helped clear previously accumulated excessive leverage and speculative positions, and the current environment indicates the market is recalibrating rather than returning to aggressive risk-taking. Investor participation remains active but more cautious, and position allocation is more rational and orderly than in previous expansion phases, reducing downside risk and making the market more resilient to shocks. Furthermore, the macro environment is acting as a buffer. The report states that although uncertainties regarding monetary policy, geopolitics, and regulation remain, these risks are increasingly being priced in and reflected in position structures rather than triggering sudden, sharp fluctuations, thus leading to a more rational and restrained market reaction.
