TRUMP CRYPTO APPOINTMENTS: President-elect Donald Trump continues to make high-profile appointments embracing cryptocurrency and emerging technologies in his second term. 1) Stephen Miran, tapped as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, is a pro-crypto advocate who aims to integrate blockchain and decentralized finance into the U.S. economy. 2) Bo Hines, a former college football player, will head the newly formed Crypto Council. Hines is tasked with balancing innovation and consumer protection as he builds a regulatory framework for digital assets. 3) David Sacks, a veteran of Silicon Valley and vocal blockchain supporter, is stepping in as AI and Crypto Czar. Sacks plans to merge blockchain with AI while bolstering U.S. dominance in both sectors. These appointments signal a clear shift from Trump’s earlier skepticism of digital assets. The big question now is how these moves translate into meaningful policy amid regulatory gridlock and political friction.

川普加密貨幣任命：當選總統川普在第二任期內繼續高調任命加密貨幣和新興技術。 1) 被任命為經濟顧問委員會主席的 Stephen Miran 是一位支持加密貨幣的倡導者，旨在將區塊鏈和去中心化金融融入美國經濟。 2) 前大學橄欖球運動員 Bo Hines 將領導新成立的加密貨幣委員會。海因斯在建立數位資產監管框架時負責平衡創新和消費者保護。 3）大衛‧薩克斯（David Sacks）是矽谷的資深人士，也是區塊鏈的堅定支持者，他正在以人工智慧和加密貨幣沙皇的身份介入。薩克斯計劃將區塊鏈與人工智慧合併，同時鞏固美國在這兩個領域的主導地位。這些任命標誌著川普先前對數位資產的懷疑態度發生了明顯轉變。現在的大問題是，在監管僵局和政治摩擦的情況下，這些措施如何轉化為有意義的政策。

APTOS LEADERSHIP SHIFT: Aptos Labs CEO and co-founder Mo Shaikh has stepped down, with co-founder Avery Ching taking over as CEO. Shaikh, who will remain a strategic adviser, highlighted the company's achievements, including raising $400 million in venture funding and building a thriving ecosystem supported by partners like BlackRock, Google, Mastercard, and PayPal. Known for its layer-1 blockchain leveraging the Move programming language from Facebook's Diem project, Aptos Labs is expanding into finance and AI applications with the help of advisers like former Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein and OpenAI’s Kevin Weil. The leadership transition underscores the company’s ongoing focus on scalability, security, and innovation in blockchain technology.

APTOS 領導層變動：Aptos Labs 執行長兼聯合創始人 Mo Shaikh 辭職，聯合創始人 Avery Ching 接任執行長。謝赫將繼續擔任策略顧問，他強調了該公司的成就，包括籌集了4 億美元的風險投資，以及在貝萊德、谷歌、萬事達卡和PayPal 等合作夥伴的支持下建立了一個蓬勃發展的生態系。 Aptos Labs 以其利用Facebook Diem 專案的Move 程式語言的第一層區塊鏈而聞名，在Grayscale 前執行長Michael Sonnenshein 和OpenAI 的Kevin Weil 等顧問的幫助下，它正在擴展到金融和人工智慧應用程式.領導層換屆凸顯了公司對區塊鏈技術可擴展性、安全性和創新的持續關注。

SONIC TO AIRDROP TIKTOK USERS: Sonic, a Layer 2 solution on the Solana blockchain, has announced plans to airdrop its native token, SONIC, to TikTok users. This initiative aims to introduce TikTok's vast user base to decentralized finance (DeFi) by integrating blockchain technology with social media platforms. The airdrop is part of Sonic's strategy to enhance user engagement and promote the adoption of Layer 2 solutions for improved scalability and reduced transaction costs on the Solana network. By targeting TikTok users, Sonic seeks to bridge the gap between mainstream social media audiences and the DeFi ecosystem, fostering broader participation in decentralized financial services.

SONIC 向 TikTok 用戶空投：Sonic 是 Solana 區塊鏈上的第 2 層解決方案，已宣布計劃向 TikTok 用戶空投其原生代幣 SONIC。該舉措旨在透過將區塊鏈技術與社群媒體平台結合，將 TikTok 龐大的用戶群引入去中心化金融（DeFi）。此次空投是 Sonic 策略的一部分，旨在增強用戶參與度並促進第 2 層解決方案的採用，以提高 Solana 網路的可擴展性並降低交易成本。透過瞄準 TikTok 用戶，Sonic 尋求彌合主流社群媒體受眾與 DeFi 生態系統之間的差距，促進更廣泛的去中心化金融服務參與。

DATA & TOKENS: Hyper Liquid, a cryptocurrency exchange focused on perpetual contracts, has reported a record outflow of $60 million in USDC. This news comes amid speculation that North Korea is investigating the platform, which has raised concerns among traders. The exchange has been under scrutiny due to its high leverage offerings and limited transparency, sparking questions about the stability of its operations and the potential involvement of illicit actors.
