[COINBASE] Today, Coinbase became a trending topic, mainly due to several key developments. The platform announced a new partnership with Apple Pay, allowing users to directly purchase cryptocurrency via Apple Pay, a move that was well received. Additionally, the U.S. government transferred a significant amount of Bitcoin to Coinbase, sparking speculation about potential sell-offs. Furthermore, Coinbase listed the meme coin MOODENG, leading to market discussions and speculation about possible future coin listings.
[MOODENG] As a Solana-based meme coin, MOODENG gained attention for being included in Coinbase's listing plans, causing its price and trading volume to surge. Its market cap skyrocketed from $300 million just a few months ago to a valuation poised to surpass $1 billion, prompting market discussions about its role as a key player in the meme coin space, similar to Dogecoin. This listing also fueled speculation about other potential meme coins to be listed in the future, such as PNUT and CHILLGUY. While questions remain about its long-term sustainability, this listing is seen as a positive signal for the meme coin market, attracting the attention of both retail and institutional investors.
[LINK] LINK has received widespread attention due to its recent price surge, breaking key resistance levels and hitting new all-time highs, becoming a hot topic of discussion. The discussion has emphasized LINK's partnerships with several major financial institutions (such as Swift, UBS Group, and the Central Bank of Brazil), highlighting its significant role in bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology. This narrative has sharply contrasted LINK's actual progress in institutional partnerships with XRP's perceived lack of momentum. Additionally, the integration of LINK with Europe's first tokenized securities trading platform and its increasing adoption in the financial sector have also become focal points of interest.
[AVAX] Today's discussion about AVAX has focused on its significant price increase, surpassing $50, accompanied by predictions of further growth in the future. The upcoming Avalanche9000 network upgrade scheduled for December 16 has been a focal point, with the upgrade promising enhanced interoperability and custom L1 chain creation features. The community holds an optimistic view of AVAX's potential to surpass other cryptocurrencies (such as XRP) in institutional adoption. Furthermore, the Avalanche ecosystem is expanding through new projects and partnerships (including the gaming and NFT sectors), contributing to its growing popularity.

In this article, Arthur Hayes dissects the rise and fall of ICOs in the cryptocurrency industry from a sharp perspective and offers insights into why ICOs could return to their former glory. He keenly points out that over-reliance on centralized exchanges and venture capital-backed overvalued projects has become a hindrance to the industry's development. Drawing a comparison between Meme coins and ICOs' capital formation mechanisms, he advocates for a return to decentralization and the high-risk, high-reward ethos of crypto projects. Through an interpretation of technological potential and viral spread, Arthur Hayes once again demonstrates his foresight into the industry's future development.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
