📰 Tether bought 27 tonnes of gold in the fourth quarter

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, reported that after purchasing 26 tonnes of gold in the third quarter of 2025, it added another 27 tonnes in the fourth quarter.

This level of gold buying places Tether alongside active central bank purchasers.

For comparison, the National Bank of Poland — the most active sovereign buyer among those reporting their purchases — increased its reserves by 35 tonnes in the fourth quarter, bringing total holdings to 550 tonnes.

📰 Opera MiniPay integrates Tether stablecoins

The developer of the Opera browser family, Opera Ltd, announced that its crypto wallet MiniPay has reached 12 million users. MiniPay allows users to transfer stablecoins from their smartphones without using separate crypto apps.

The sharp increase in MiniPay user registrations in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia began after USDT and Tether’s gold-backed stablecoin XAUT were added to the wallet.

Following the announcement of the USDT and XAUT integration, Opera’s shares on Nasdaq jumped 15% to $14.30.

📰 Arthur Hayes explained the reason behind BTC’s drop

According to Arthur Hayes, the current drawdown is not driven by investor panic, but by the mechanics of banks and market makers.

Banks sell structured products linked to the IBIT ETF, and when certain price levels are reached, dealers are forced to hedge aggressively.

Hayes believes these automatic selling and buying flows are what trigger sharp market moves.

📰 ETHZilla tokenizes jet engines

ETHZilla has issued an Ethereum-based token backed by two jet engines that are currently under lease.

Investors gain access to rental income from these engines — an asset class that was previously largely limited to large funds.

📰 Bhutan opens up to digital nomads

Bhutan has launched a digital nomad visa priced at $2,800 per year, allowing foreigners to live and travel across the country for 12 months.

A key condition: applicants must also invest $10,000 into Bhutan’s sovereign financial infrastructure by purchasing TER, a new gold-backed crypto asset.

This marks a major shift for a country that, for decades, tightly restricted tourism with mandatory guides and daily fees of $100–250. The new visa signals Bhutan’s move toward a more open, innovation-friendly model — blending controlled openness with crypto and long-term visitors.

$DGMA as the fuel of verification ⛽️

Proof of Presence creates a new unit of value: the PoP-attestation. And $DGMA is what powers its economy.

When a business buys a verified event, when an app accesses analytics or API limits, when infrastructure anchors are used to strengthen trust, $DGMA becomes the settlement layer behind that verification.

$DGMA won't be a payment add-on. It aligns incentives across the network – rewarding validation, subsidizing infrastructure, and scaling PoP for mass adoption.

Verification becomes measurable. And $DGMA becomes the fuel behind it.

💬 Arc Introduces Stablecoin-Native Economic OS

According to the newly shared ARC whitepaper, $ARC is being positioned as the core coordination token that aligns incentives across the entire ecosystem through:

- Validator participation via staking 
- Economic governance 
- Stablecoin-based fee mechanics 
- Platform utility for both users and builders 

The core idea is straightforward: shared economic infrastructure only works when the people building and using it are durably coordinated from day one.

For developers, this means a reliable foundation where stablecoins power real payments, fees, and treasury flows — removing the usual volatility friction that kills long-term adoption.

Arc is already live in public testnet, positioning itself as the Economic OS for the internet.

📰 CryptoQuant: American investors are actively selling Bitcoin

The Coinbase Premium Gap dropped to -$77, meaning BTC is trading cheaper on Coinbase than on major overseas exchanges like Binance.

Why this matters?

The Coinbase Premium Gap is widely used as a proxy for US demand. When the metric turns negative, it usually signals:

▸ stronger selling pressure from US traders
▸ weaker spot buying activity
▸ risk-off sentiment among American investors

In simple terms: while CT keeps posting “institutions are buying everything,” the data currently shows US market participants hitting the sell button instead.

Historically, deeply negative Coinbase Premium readings often appear during periods of fear, panic, or macro uncertainty.
