The market has been quite restless these past two days. A wave of compliance has swept through, as a leading exchange just obtained a Middle Eastern compliance license, becoming the world's first crypto platform to hold a complete regulatory qualification, switching to a new compliance framework starting January. This may seem ordinary, but the signals it sends are quite significant—funds safety and dispute resolution are now under regulatory safety nets, which will accelerate the reshuffling of the entire industry.

On the new coin front, things are very lively. CODEX surged 32% in a single day, now trading at $42.19, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding one billion. XBRAIN is even more outrageous, skyrocketing 3082% in two days, giving a bit of a new year vibe. OMDB also launched and increased by 0.98%. However, there are pitfalls—watch out for trading volume and liquidity; not all new coins are worth chasing.

Mainstream coins are a bit stuck. Bitcoin is holding firmly at the crucial support of $87,600, while Ethereum is stuck oscillating around $2,980. The market is waiting for European and American funds to return; once the capital flows in, volatility will definitely be unleashed.

The AI sector remains the main focus. TAO is now at $240, NEAR is at $1.63, and institutions are watching these closely. The SKR from the Solana Mobile ecosystem will airdrop this month, allowing users to receive 30% of the supply, with Seeker users having priority unlocking rights.

Looking ahead, the real structural opportunities in 2026 may be in three directions—AI and blockchain integration, DePIN ecosystems, and Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions. STX and RNDR are two projects worth long-term tracking.

CODEX-6,44%

BTC3,28%

ETH3,74%

TAO2,74%

Compliance is coming, the industry is indeed about to reshuffle, and small platforms are having a hard time XBRAIN 3082% Really? This surge is so outrageous that I dare not touch it Bitcoin just holding on tight, when will the European and American big players come back The AI track still needs to be watched, STX is worth a long-term gamble The trading volume of new coins is too inflated, follow-the-leader traders are just harvesting the chives Mainstream coins are now waiting for a better capital flow, feeling bored and restless SKR airdrop accounts for 30% of the supply? Is this a move to dump the market? The compliance license is actually good news, retail investors can finally sleep peacefully DePIN 2026, is it really that attractive? I don’t quite understand this logic The surge in new coins is so strong, you have to cut your losses quickly, don’t get caught by the chives again

Getting a proper license actually hints that the industry is about to change, and the capital pool will lean towards big institutions. Retail investors' days might become even tougher. XBRAIN over 3,000 points? I need to see if it's another trap to fleece the little guys. There's always a story behind such surges. Bitcoin has stubbornly held at 87,600. It feels like it's waiting for a major event, or maybe a surge from European and American funds. TAO and NEAR are indeed worth watching. AI remains the main storyline this year, but you need to choose the right entry points. I've already added STX and RNDR to my watchlist. The Layer 2 track is expected to start differentiating next year, so positioning early is key.

Compliance licenses sound great, but the real money is still made by those daring to gamble on new coins. I can't believe I missed the bottom for XBRAIN with a 3082% increase. The AI track still needs to be continued, and DePIN is the real treasure track in 2026. Bitcoin is just like that, constantly fluctuating, really annoying. Waiting for European and American funds to come in and save the market. CODEX has a good increase, but the trading volume risks still need to be cautious about; unrealized gains are the easiest to get burned. STX and RNDR are indeed worth accumulating; if the long-term strategy is right, short-term fluctuations are not to be feared. New coins are so hot right now, it feels like it's time to cool down again. Both TAO and NEAR institutions are accumulating, retail investors need to follow the rhythm carefully.

Compliance licenses really change the game; the reshuffling has begun --- XBRAIN 3082% Laughing to death, someone must have taken a big loss in this wave --- Bitcoin has held 87600 for so long, when will the Europeans and Americans recover their losses? --- STX and RNDR are definitely worth investing in; Layer 2 is a must in this wave --- The surge of new coins is so crazy; is all the liquidity just a bubble? --- TAO is already at 240, and you're still pouring in? Do you really believe in the future of AI+Blockchain? --- The wave of compliance regulations actually makes me feel more at ease; it's better than black-box operations --- SKR airdrop 30%, now it's a race to see who can grab it first

Damn XBRAIN, this wave really can't hold up, 3082%? Are you joking or is there really a fundamental behind it? The compliance license is actually a double-edged sword. Big exchanges get whitewashed, and small retail investors lose their hiding space. CODEX has surpassed 100 million in transaction volume, but is the liquidity deep enough? Don't come crying when you try to dump and can't get out. I've been following STX and RNDR for a while; DePIN is definitely next year's favorite. Once European and American funds come back, that 88K threshold might be hard to hold. TAO at $240 feels a bit虚, no matter how much AI narrative is hyped, it still depends on real-world application.

Regarding compliance licenses, to put it simply, big institutions are land grabbing, and retail investors' days will become even harder. The over 3,000 point surge in XBRAIN is truly outrageous, but I bet five dollars that someone will be shouting about being cut tomorrow. Bitcoin is deadlocked at 87,600; let's wait and see if the European and American markets can save the scene. AI concept coins like TAO and NEAR, need to keep an eye on them; maybe 2026 will really be the starting point. I've already been laying low on STX and RNDR; it all depends on who persists until the end. The new coin market is too deep; a trading volume over 100 million doesn't necessarily mean it's real. I've seen too many false booms. The SKR airdrop with 30% of the supply? Sounds good, but I'm just worried it might be another start of zeroing out. Will the compliance framework change restrict trading freedom? That's what I care about most.
