Odaily Planet Daily News: In addition to being a venture capital institution, ParaFi Technologies also has a validator system that runs more than $1 billion in pledged assets. In addition to Aptos and Solana, it also serves as an Ethereum validator. Kevin Yedid-Botton, partner of ParaFi, said: In a simple sense, we are an investment and technology company. We also see ourselves as a public utility provider for the blockchain ecosystem.
He further explained: “From a purely business perspective, our revenue is diversified. We are not dependent on a single source of revenue from a single fund. We have a quantitative fund, a venture capital fund, a token fund, and other ancillary businesses, GP business and technology business.”
Yedid-Botton finds that a big benefit of ParaFi’s multi-business structure approach, beyond revenue generation, is open communication between teams that all have different skill sets. Yedid-Botton believes the company has created a “unique combination” that can “find alpha in a way that other companies can’t.”
ParaFis next cycle will focus on developing existing businesses. Yedid-Botton said that ParaFi currently manages more than $1 billion in assets and plans to expand its asset size by more than five times in the next few years. (Blockworks)
Odaily Planet Daily reported that BlackRock, which manages the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, previously stated that a 2% Bitcoin allocation in a traditional multi-asset portfolio is a reasonable range. In response to this, Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at investment institution Globalt Investments, revealed that currently 10% of his portfolio is gold, and he may consider increasing his holdings of Bitcoin, but the proportion of the portfolio may not exceed 5%.
In addition, he said he might consider holding 5% of the portfolio in cash, with the rest invested in stocks and bonds, with the ratio between the latter two varying according to the risk preferences of different investors. Thomas Martin pointed out that in some aggressive strategies he manages for clients, stocks may account for 90% of the portfolio, and gold has a low correlation with stocks, bonds and cash, and may sometimes serve as a store of value.

Odaily Planet Daily News Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty outlined six key principles on New Years Eve, urging the US SEC to adopt a prudent approach to kripto regulation:
1. The SEC only has jurisdiction over securities transactions;
2. The sale of gold bars with contractual rights, title or interest in gold mines may be a securities transaction;
3. The sale of the same gold bar without post-sale rights or obligations is simply an asset sale, which the SEC has no authority to regulate;
4. The SEC’s jurisdiction will not be expanded based on its self-serving view of who it thinks is more “deserving” of disclosure;
5. Jetons are not securities, although they can be the subject of securities transactions;
6. The notion that tokens can “evolve” from securities to non-securities is a myth with no legal basis.

Solana on-chain trading platform Drift plans to launch the second quarter airdrop in May this year

Usual posts hint at turning on token fees
Odaily Planet Daily News Usual posted on X: The era of fee switch begins. 2025 marks a turning point for DeFi: real value, real distribution. On January 7, get your USUAL ready. New year, new standard. It implies that the token fee switch will be turned on.
Odaily Planet Daily News Usual Yu X said in a post that at 5 pm Beijing time yesterday, the Usual protocol experienced a large-scale USD 0 sell-off triggered by a whale in the secondary market. This incident raised questions about the anchoring ability of USD 0. USD 0 briefly fell to $0.99, and then returned to $1 within seconds. Although there was a deviation of several bps initially due to continued selling, it fully recovered after a few hours.
Officially, USD 0 can always be exchanged for its underlying collateral at a 1: 1 ratio, thus ensuring the solvency of the Usual protocol. This exchange is handled through a smart contract and is currently accessible to any whitelisted entity. The ultimate goal is to make it completely permissionless, but extensive audits are conducted before granting open collateral access.
Currently, all USD 0 is redeemable on a T+0 basis and is backed by a high daily liquidity short-term money market instrument. Despite the pressure, the usual infrastructure and model have proven to be solid, the peg has been restored to normal, and there is now a large amount of immediate liquidity available for arbitrage.
Overall, this event was the first major stress test of USD 0’s anchoring ability, with the amount redeemed in a few hours exceeding the entire TVL of GHO, but everything went as usual. The team will continue to improve the process and improve efficiency, and a series of updates will be launched soon.
Odaily Planet Daily News: Shiba Inu (SHIB) lead developer Shytoshi Kusama shared the progress of the upcoming TREAT on X. TREAT is the fourth and final official token in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. With SHIB: The Metaverse opening its early access phase on December 25, Kusamas recent remarks indicate that TREAT is expected to become the central focus of the Shiba Inu roadmap in early 2025.
Kusama revealed TREAT’s capabilities at X: “What if there was a way to provide transaction rewards for participation and access through tokens? What if it became the backbone of an operating system that could power the state of the network, and global adoption could solve many of the world’s problems? If that’s the case.”
This statement suggests that TREAT is not just another tradable asset in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, but a multifaceted token designed to incentivize participation, grant access to advanced features, and foster what he calls network state. (Bitcoinist)

Regulatory policies
Odaily Planet Daily News The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a temporary relief measure that is expected to benefit CeFi exchange users in 2025. The relief measure addresses concerns raised by the final version of Section 6045 of the custody broker regulation, which will take effect on January 1, 2025, requiring the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting method for digital assets unless a preferred method such as the highest-in, first-out (HIFO) or Spec ID is selected.
Shehan Chandrasekera, head of tax strategy at Cointracker, explained the problem, stressing that “almost all CeFi brokers are not ready to support Spec ID as of January 1, 2025. This lack of preparation will force many crypto holders to default to FIFO accounting, potentially triggering higher tax liabilities during asset sales. He described: “In a bull market environment, this could be disastrous for many taxpayers, as you would inadvertently sell your oldest purchased assets first (which tend to have the lowest cost basis), while unknowingly maximizing your capital gains.”
The IRS’ temporary relief allows taxpayers to continue using their own records or tax software to identify the specific units being sold. The relief only applies to CeFi transactions between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. After this date, taxpayers will need to formally select an accounting method with their broker. Chandrasekera also stressed the importance of syncing tax software with broker settings. (Bitcoin.com)

Aave co-founder Stani: Optimistic about Ethereums performance in 2025
Odaily Planet Daily News: Aave co-founder Stani wrote that Ethereum will have a good start in 2025.

The introduction of blob space will significantly enhance scalability. These will dynamically adjust the blob limit through the consensus layer, thereby improving Ethereums DA scalability (mainnet and L2). Pectra is the largest upgrade in terms of the included EIPs, and it represents a major step forward. Bullish.

Related: IOSG Ventures: Let’s talk about Unichain’s design architecture again. Why is it necessary?
Original source: IOSG Ventures Preface Over the years, Uniswap has been continuously pushing for functional and innovative reforms to make exchanges more user-friendly and fair. For example, we have seen Uniswap Mobile, Fillers Network in UniswapX, ERC-7682 for unified cross-chain intent standards, and hooks for custom AMM pools in Uniswap V4. On October 10, Uniswap announced their master optimistic Rollup, Unichain. The chain aims to become a one-stop liquidity center in the superchain ecosystem, providing traders with a near-instant exchange experience and lower spreads, while maximizing the privacy and integrity of MEV participants in the process, and using TEE in the process. While these visions are impressive, users question the need for another L2, with some, including Vitalik, commenting that Unichain = “a copy of Uniswap on every Rollup.” In…
