World has announced the release of World ID v4.0, incorporating account abstraction into its protocol. According to Foresight News, this upgrade transitions World ID from a single key to an abstract record within the public registry "WorldIDRegistry," enabling multiple authorization keys for users to generate proofs across various devices or platforms. Key features of this upgrade include multi-key support, allowing users to manage multiple authenticators while maintaining a single identity. The protocol's resilience is enhanced with support for key rotation and revocation, and the introduction of an optional recovery agent to address key loss. Additionally, a web-based reference authenticator has been launched to simplify browser usage. Privacy protection is strengthened through OPRF nodes that generate one-time nullifiers, preventing long-term tracking while maintaining proof integrity. The update also introduces a Relying Party Registry, enabling authenticators to identify request sources to prevent phishing attacks and laying the groundwork for future protocol fees.

Silver futures have experienced a remarkable increase of over 275% in the past year, driven by a significant physical supply shortage. According to NS3.AI, only 14% of outstanding futures contracts are supported by registered silver inventories. The large commercial short positions, which more than double the available deliverable supply, have led to a classic short squeeze, with persistent backwardation indicating high immediate demand. The industrial demand for silver, particularly from the solar panel production sector, has intensified the supply constraints. In contrast, gold has maintained stability due to better inventory coverage and a normal market structure.

Cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit stated that Bitcoin's recent price has been suppressed around $90,000, primarily due to a large number of open options contracts concentrated near the current strike price and the approaching large-scale expiration date of January 30th. Deribit pointed out that current market risk exposure is established more through options than highly leveraged futures, with traders tending to use hedging and structured strategies to manage risk. Analysis suggests that the high options trading volume, especially for short-term put options, indicates that funds are still in the market but risk control is becoming stricter, with short-term price movements being more driven by position structure than external news. Data shows that Bitcoin has been fluctuating between $85,000 and $95,000 since mid-November. This Friday will see the expiration of Bitcoin monthly options with a notional value of approximately $8.4 billion, a put/call ratio of 0.54, with the biggest resistance level at $90,000 and the most open contracts concentrated near the $100,000 strike price.
