According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bithumb will launch a trading pair for the gold token Tether Gold (XAUT) in Korean Won.

According to Odaily, Senator Cynthia Lummis, Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Banking and Digital Assets, stated on the X platform that the U.S. Responsible Finance Innovation Act would allow large banks to offer digital asset custody, staking, and payment services under appropriate regulation. "Digital assets are an integral part of our financial system, and incorporating them into a regulated banking system protects consumers and unlocks growth potential." Previously, it was reported that after months of delays, the Senate Banking Committee might hold a revision meeting on the Responsible Finance Innovation Act in the second week of January. This move marks a significant breakthrough in the legislation, which has been slowed by Democratic lawmakers' concerns about decentralized finance and the longest government shutdown in history.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that NEO's two founders, Erik Zhang and Da Hongfei, have accused each other of monopolizing financial power and lacking transparency. Zhang stated that he will return to the Neo mainnet for full management to defend the core rights of NEO/GAS holders. Simultaneously, Zhang disclosed the current NEO governance structure and the status of its accounts. Zhang stated that the vast majority of the Neo Foundation's NEO and GAS assets are currently publicly distributed across 21 initial node addresses and one multi-signature wallet. Previously, during Da Hongfei's request for Zhang to withdraw from foundation management, approximately 8 million NEO/GAS tokens were transferred to multiple multi-signature addresses designated by Da Hongfei at Zhang's request. Apart from the aforementioned transparent NEO/GAS, all auxiliary assets held by the Neo Foundation (including but not limited to BTC, ETH, and other ecosystem project tokens) are currently under Da Hongfei's actual personal control. Zhang Zhengwen stated that this part of the assets has been in a "black box" state for many years, and Da Hongfei has so far failed to provide any verifiable financial statements, asset lists, or audit certificates.
