It is reported that the Chinese government has begun reviewing whether the acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus by American tech giant Meta Platforms violates technology export controls. This move is seen as an example of China’s sensitivity to the outflow of cutting-edge technology, with some observers suggesting it could impact the future technological dominance competition between the two countries. On the 6th local time, the Financial Times cited multiple sources as saying that China’s Ministry of Commerce is examining whether a series of measures, including Manus’s headquarters relocation and its acquisition by Meta, violate the country’s technology export control laws. The main point of contention is whether the transfer of Manus’s talent and technology to Singapore falls under China’s export licensing jurisdiction. The review is still in its early stages and is not necessarily expected to escalate into a formal investigation. Manus was launched in China for the first time in March 2023 and has attracted significant attention in the field of artificial intelligence technology. It broke through traditional chat machine

Author: Haseeb ＞|＜, Dragonfly Partner Translation: Deep Tide TechFlow LPs sometimes ask me who I consider the most outstanding venture capitalists in the crypto space. I've thought about this a lot. Since I started engaging in crypto venture investing, I've always aspired to be the best. I am passionate about competition, and investing is the purest form of competition. Only one person can win a deal, only one can pick the winner of this cycle. But when you honestly examine and carefully calculate, you'll find that three people have already proven themselves as the "Greatest of All Time" (GOAT) in crypto VC. This might sound a bit like bragging (it is), and it may not be very appealing to those who are not in crypto VC. But I am a crypto VC. This article is dedicated to those of us who have made this our lifelong career.

Madman says… The market, whether in terms of sentiment or trading volume, has already reached an extremely quiet state. Mainstream coins like Bitcoin are stuck in a narrow range, sideways trading within a very small zone. This indicates that a trend reversal will occur soon (perhaps in early January). Based on the current trend, the probability of a downward spike is higher than a direct rise or fall. The strategy is to continue holding and wait for a new low to buy the dip. The significant rise in precious metals already indicates that inflation is on the way, so by 2026, the water will come. The rest is up to time. Bitcoin will continue to prove its irreplaceable value and incomparable consensus advantage.

The state of Utah in the United States has recently launched a medical trial that allows artificial intelligence systems to renew certain prescriptions for chronic disease patients without physician intervention, aiming to reduce labor costs and improve healthcare accessibility. This pilot program, a collaboration between the state government and a health tech startup, is seen as the first time the US healthcare system has directly delegated "prescription authority" to AI. AI prescribing medication for patients? What is Utah testing? According to Politico, the Utah state government has partnered with health tech startup Doctronic to initiate a pilot program that allows eligible patients to use an online system where AI reads their medication records and conducts a consultation. If deemed safe, the system will directly send the renewed prescriptions to the pharmacy without any physician approval. Currently, the program is limited to 190 common medications and excludes painkillers, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications.

1. Introduction In early January Beijing time, a message circulated on overseas social platforms and multiple crypto communities: the U.S. government has taken strong actions regarding the Venezuela situation, drawing significant attention from the international community. Almost simultaneously, a trading record on a decentralized prediction platform was rapidly amplified and discussed by the market. Data shows that within just four days starting from December 27, 2025, an account on the prediction market platform Polymarket invested approximately $32,537 USD, continuously betting on the event that "Venezuelan President Maduro will step down before January 31." Notably, this account concentrated large positions just hours before the related news was widely discussed externally. At that time, the market's overall pricing of the likelihood of the event was not high, around 6%. As the situation evolved and the United States

On January 5, 2026, the world's largest digital asset management company Grayscale announced that its Ethereum staking ETF (ETHE) will distribute its first staking yield to shareholders, totaling approximately $9.4 million. This marks the first time that on-chain staking rewards from a U.S.-listed spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded product (ETP) have been converted into "dividends" for traditional financial products, representing a milestone in structural significance. This move not only upgrades a simple price-tracking tool into an income-generating asset but also could trigger a new round of competition among mainstream institutions around "yield," attracting a broader range of traditional income-focused investors into the crypto market.

Another bond worth USD 1.25 billion is a 3-year term. This is aimed at expanding efforts for greenhouse gas emission reduction and renewable energy, among other areas.

The U.S. government is currently processing the export approval procedure for NVIDIA's high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) H200 to China, but the specific approval time has not yet been determined. Amid the tense U.S.-China relations surrounding semiconductor export controls, industry and market attention are focused on this matter.

NVIDIA has been one of the most closely watched companies in the recent AI semiconductor market, with H200 being one of its flagship products. This product is based on the current generation of NVIDIA GPU architecture.

In 2026, what will be born when Tesla's manufacturing philosophy meets the intricate structure of the human brain? The answer Elon Musk gives is: mass-produced brain chips. Neuralink's latest announced plan is not just a timeline but a crucial turning point for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology as it moves from research to industrialization. When the concepts of "fully automated surgery" and "mass production" intersect for the first time in the field of neurotechnology, what we are witnessing may not only be advances in medical devices but a redefinition of the human-machine relationship itself. Technical Architecture: Challenges in Mass Producing the N1 Chip Neuralink's plan for mass production of the N1 chip faces three major technical challenges. The manufacturing precision required for the chip itself far exceeds traditional semiconductor processes. The electrode array must establish stable connections with neurons, which entails micron-level manufacturing tolerances and special handling of biocompatible materials. Packaging technology is equally critical, as the device must be safely implanted within the human body.
