俄罗斯最大银行 Sberbank 已向当地大型比特币矿企 Intelion Data 发放该国首笔以加密资产作为抵押的贷款。Sberbank 表示，该笔贷款由 Intelion Data 挖矿所得的数字货币作为担保，但未披露贷款规模、抵押资产数量及期限，并将其定义为一项“试点”业务。Sberbank 指出，此类产品不仅适用于矿企，也可能面向持有加密资产的企业推广。该行在交易中使用了自有加密资产托管方案 Rutoken，以确保抵押资产在贷款期间的安全。Sberbank 副董事长 Anatoly Popov 表示，俄罗斯数字资产监管仍处于早期阶段，银行愿与央行合作完善相关规则，并以此次试点为未来监管和基础设施建设提供参考。Intelion Data CEO Timofey Semenov 则称，该交易是行业发展的重要实践案例，若效果理想，或可在俄罗斯矿业领域进一步推广。（DL News）

Animoca Brands 联合创始人 Yat Siu 表示，2025 年将被记为“特朗普之年”，但并非因为其利好加密行业，而是市场过度押注政治预期，误判了关税、利率与宏观政策方向，导致风险资产整体承压。他指出，围绕特朗普的“加密交易”并未如期兑现，2026 年将迫使行业转向合规与真实应用场景。Siu 认为，2026 年的重要主题在于加密行业的制度化与功能化。一方面，随着《Clarity Act》《GENIUS Act》等监管框架逐步明确，传统机构与大型企业将更有动力进入加密市场；另一方面，市场焦点将从投机型代币与 Meme 币，转向具备明确用途的功能型代币。他表示，过去一轮 Meme 币行情消耗了大量散户流动性，也促使行业进入反思阶段。在资本市场层面，Siu 透露，Animoca 计划通过与纳斯达克上市金融科技公司 Currenc Group 的反向并购实现上市，定位为“山寨币敞口”的公开市场载体，为投资者提供比单一底层公链代币更广泛的 Web3 与山寨币组合敞口。他强调，随着代币发行与交易规则清晰化，现实世界资产代币化及证券型代币将成为连接传统金融与链上经济的重要桥梁。Siu 总结称，在监管确定性提升与市场结构变化的背景下，加密行业已无法继续依赖叙事与投机驱动增长，2026 年将成为以真实用途和用户价值为核心的转折点。（Cointelegraph）

According to PANews, gold and silver have reached new historical highs this week, showcasing the strong performance of precious metals. However, this development poses challenges for cryptocurrency investors, as Bitcoin, once dubbed 'digital gold,' has fallen by 6.25% this year after hitting a record price earlier. Ethereum has also seen a decline of 12%. The overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market is notably low, impacting the stock prices of publicly listed crypto asset management companies. Louis Navellier, founder of Navellier & Associates, highlighted that with gold prices rising nearly 70% in 2025, while most cryptocurrencies continue to fall, it may be time for investors to shift towards gold. He emphasized gold's advantages, including central bank purchases, lower volatility, and improved liquidity. Meanwhile, renowned investor Peter Schiff expressed on the X platform that if Bitcoin does not rise alongside tech stocks or during gold and silver surges, it may never increase in value.
