▌Washington lobbyists are targeting Musk’s “DOGE” division to influence Trump

The long-running lobbying army that has roamed Congress and federal agencies is taking aim at a new target: a shadow federal department controlled by Musk. The Musk-led initiative is called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and its purpose is to advise President-elect Trump on spending cuts and regulatory reforms.  

So far, its members have organized and coordinated in secret meetings a few blocks from the White House. Companies and industry groups have begun looking to DOGE, rather than traditional congressional committees and federal agencies, to push their agendas and protect their interests.

▌SEC Sues Helium Founder for Offering Unregistered Crypto-Asset Securities

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Helium founder Nova Labs, alleging it offered unregistered crypto-asset securities and misled investors into believing it had partnerships with Lime, Nestlé, and Salesforce. The lawsuit, filed Friday, targets three Helium-related tokens: Helium Network Token (HNT), Helium Mobile Token (MOBILE), and Helium Internet of Things Network Token (IoT), which the agency says were sold as unregistered securities.   

The lawsuit seeks to fine the company and prohibit it from buying, offering, or selling any crypto-assets that are offered as securities. The enforcement action is one of the last actions taken by the SEC under the leadership of Chairman Gary Gensler, who is set to resign on Monday before Donald Trump takes office for a second term as president.

▌Forbes releases the most noteworthy cryptocurrencies this year: BTC, ETH, SOL, FET, etc.

Forbes released the most noteworthy cryptocurrencies in 2025, including BTC, ETH, SOL, FET, DOGE. The selection method focuses on market indicators, innovation and practical utility. The main considerations include market capitalization, price performance and trading volume, as well as the ability of each project to meet the challenges of the blockchain ecosystem. The conclusion indicates that the cryptocurrency market in 2025 is at a crossroads, full of potential but also shrouded in great uncertainty. While Bitcoin continues to enjoy institutional support and cultural relevance, Ethereum faces fierce competition from alternative platforms such as Solana, while newer areas such as AI-driven tokens and meme coins are still gaining a foothold in the ecosystem. In addition to the challenges facing cryptocurrencies, the broader global economy has also had a profound impact. Continued inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions have the potential to shake investor confidence in all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies. In addition, regulatory scrutiny remains a looming issue, with governments working to establish a clearer framework for digital assets — or a tougher crackdown.

▌Aave founder Stani: ETH rise is only a matter of time, if it happens, it will be a retaliatory surge

Aave founder Stani posted on the X platform that Ethereum has the highest security in the programmable execution environment, and Ethereum has advantages in the developer ecosystem and tools, because the developer ecosystem has built solid tools around development (Hardhat, Foundry), a variety of different testing tools, namely different fuzz tests, simulation tools (such as Tenderly for debugging) and a strong auditor ecosystem. In addition, more exciting innovations are happening in the EVM field, including from ZK-based EVM to solving ZKSync, Scroll to Linea and Succinct scalability. There is also the Trump family encryption project WLF, which will promote a lot of innovation in the DeFi field, so ETH rises only a matter of time, and once it happens, it may be the largest retaliatory surge in history.

▌The market is betting against the odds: the Fed's next move will be to raise rates, not cut them

The Fed's next move will be to raise rates, not cut them, which seems a forlorn hope at best, but such an idea has emerged among a group of stubborn bond traders. The bet emerged after the U.S. released a blowout jobs report on January 10, in stark contrast to Wall Street's consensus of at least one rate cut this year. The reverse bet remains despite Wednesday's mild inflation report that reinforced the Fed's rate-cutting stance and caused U.S. Treasury yields to fall from multi-year highs. An institutional analysis shows that based on options related to the secured overnight financing rate, traders currently believe that the Fed has about a 25% chance of raising interest rates by the end of the year. Before the CPI data was released, these bets were as high as 30%. And until more than a week ago, a rate hike was not even considered. Phil Suttle, a former economist at the New York Fed, expects the Fed to raise interest rates in September, saying: "This is not a crazy view." (Jinshi Data)

▌What is a teardrop attack in crypto?

In the context of cryptocurrency, teardrop attacks often target the decentralized nature of blockchain platforms. Even if they do not target the blockchain's encryption algorithms, disrupting the underlying peer-to-peer network infrastructure that cryptocurrencies rely on can lead to service disruptions, loss of funds, and decreased user trust. Attackers can interfere with the consensus process, transaction verification, or node-to-node communication by focusing on specific nodes or servers. This can lead to network fragmentation, processing delays, or even complete suspension of operations.
