DeFi Hot Topics

1. Tether and Circle Expand Recruitment and Business in South Korea

According to South Korean media News1, industry insiders revealed that stablecoin issuer Tether recently posted recruitment information for South Korean employees, including public relations managers, blockchain investigators, and government relations specialists. Tether entered the South Korean market last year by hiring a South Korean market representative, but after that representative left the company, the company decided to expand its workforce on a larger scale. In addition, another virtual asset industry insider said, "Circle has been effectively developing its lending business in South Korea since Circle's CEO visited South Korea last August." This move seems to be in response to South Korean regulations targeting overseas stablecoin issuers. The upcoming Digital Assets Basic Law (Phase II Virtual Assets Act) is expected to include relevant provisions requiring overseas stablecoin issuers to establish branches in South Korea in order to distribute their tokens in the South Korean domestic market. This means that even stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle will need to establish branches in South Korea. 2. Willy Woo: Bitcoin Bear Market Originated from Large-Scale Selling of Bitcoin by Early Whales According to Jinse Finance, renowned analyst Willy Woo commented on the event that "since November 2025, Jane Street Group has been experiencing large-scale selling of Bitcoin and related ETF shares every day at 10 AM when the US stock market opens," stating that the essence of the Bitcoin bear market is that the large-scale selling of Bitcoin by early whales far exceeds the amount of new funds entering the market. This is clearly visible on the blockchain. 3. ListaDAO Launches On-Chain Credit System, Focusing on Unsecured Loans According to Jinse Finance, DeFi protocol ListaDAO announced the launch of Lista Credit, claiming it to be the first on-chain credit lending system, aiming to provide users with a financing channel without collateral. This product allows users to borrow money at any time based on their cash flow needs, attempting to break through the current DeFi lending model that mainly relies on over-collateralization. According to the official introduction, Lista Credit uses a token incentive mechanism to support repayment. Borrowers can reduce repayment costs through daily and weekly LISTA incentives, while also supporting lending and repayment with the stable asset U to enhance the flexibility of fund use. ListaDAO stated that this move marks a shift in the DeFi lending model from "collateral-driven" to "credit-driven." If this model is successfully implemented, it may open up new application spaces for on-chain consumer finance, operating finance, and cash flow management scenarios.

4. GoPlus: Android malware PromptSpy can remotely control victim devices

According to Jinse Finance, security agency GoPlus Security disclosed a new type of Android malware, PromptSpy. This software can remotely control victim devices and use artificial intelligence technology to make malicious behavior decisions in real time, improving stealth and attack accuracy.

GoPlus advises users not to install APK files from unofficial channels, to be cautious when granting applications accessibility permissions, and to enable Google Play Protect real-time protection. According to Jinse Finance, ETHZilla, the former Ethereum vault company, announced that it will rebrand as Forum Markets next month and adopt a new Nasdaq stock code, officially shifting its business from cryptocurrency exposure on its balance sheet to tokenized real-world assets (RWA). This move comes a week after the company announced it was abandoning the Ethereum balance sheet model, prompting investors to withdraw. Observers point out that the single-asset vault strategy relies on a sustained equity premium and a strong market environment.
