Tensions inside the NEO ecosystem have erupted into the open 👀
👉 NEO co-founder Erik Zhang has accused Da Hongfei of failing to provide transparent disclosure of Neo Foundation finances, calling for a full, verifiable financial report.
📅 Zhang also stated that Da Hongfei will step back from NEO mainnet responsibilities starting Jan 1, 2026, shifting focus to NeoX and SpoonOS instead.
💥 Da Hongfei fired back with strong claims:
Alleged that Erik controls the majority of NEO funds and consensus power
Warned that no blockchain should be run under one person’s custody
Said he has long pushed for NEO/GAS funds to be moved to NF multisig wallets
Claimed Erik has repeatedly delayed the transfer, most recently tying it to the N3 migration
📌 Da added that he stayed silent for years to protect community confidence — but that silence has now been misunderstood.
⚖️ Big picture:
This dispute raises serious questions around governance, decentralization, transparency, and control within one of crypto’s oldest projects.
The latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes are out — and they reveal a deep split inside the Fed 👀 Policymakers are torn between resurgent inflation risks 📈 and a cooling labor market 🧑💼❄️. This clash will shape interest rate decisions heading into 2025–26.
💡 What happened?
• The Fed delivered its 3rd rate cut of the year, bringing rates to 3.50%–3.75% • 3 out of 12 officials dissented, showing clear internal disagreement • Powell tried to balance both sides, aiming to protect jobs while keeping inflation in check
📊 Key takeaway from the minutes:
Most officials still fear inflation isn’t fully defeated, but they’re also watching labor risks closely.
👉 If inflation keeps moving toward the 2% target, more rate cuts are on the table.
🔮 2026 outlook: Fed vs Market
• Fed’s dot plot: Only 1 rate cut expected in 2026 • Market disagrees 👇 – 50%+ chance of a 25bps cut by March 2026 – ~6.5% chance of a 50bps cut (CME FedWatch)
⏰ What’s next?
• Jan 27–28: Next Fed meeting • Powell’s successor may be announced soon 👀
🧠 Top names in play:
• Kevin Warsh – policy discipline, balance sheet cuts • Kevin Hassett – pro-growth, looser policy, faster rate cuts
📌 Bottom line:
Fed policy is at a crossroads — and markets are positioning early.
Justin Sun — the billionaire mind behind major blockchain innovations — was spotted cruising through Rawalpindi/Islamabad in a local rickshaw 😮
No convoy. No luxury ride. Just pure local vibes 🇵🇰🛺
The unexpected sighting instantly grabbed attention and lit up social media, sparking conversations about global crypto leaders embracing local culture wherever they go.
From blockchain to backstreets — this is how you travel 😎
🚨 BITCOIN ENTERS GEOPOLITICS — AND IT’S NOT BULLISH (YET)
While markets were quiet over the holidays, Russia pushed a wild narrative 👇
Putin claims the US proposed joint control of Europe’s largest nuclear plant — allegedly to use its power for Bitcoin mining.
⚠️ Reality check:
• Source is Russian state media only • No US confirmation • IAEA says restarting the plant is “impossible” • No cooling water, unstable grid • All reactors in cold shutdown • Power lost 12 times since 2022
Yet Russia quietly licensed one reactor anyway.
🎭 What’s really happening?
This isn’t about energy or BTC mining. It’s a negotiation tactic — testing whether crypto narratives can legitimize control over occupied infrastructure.
🧠 Why timing matters:
• Trump & Zelenskyy meeting today • Zaporizhzhia is a key unresolved peace issue • Framing the story early = leverage
👀 Signals to watch:
• US admits “energy talks” → big shift • Ukraine concedes → sovereignty red line • IAEA veto → deal dead
This isn’t an energy deal.
It’s geopolitics wrapped in crypto optics.
If Bitcoin is ever used to monetize occupied nuclear assets, that sets a global precedent.
