According to Odaily, DeepSeek is not expected to significantly impact the demand for AI chips in 2025. DIGITIMES Research indicates that the global semiconductor industry revenue will continue the trend from 2024, with an anticipated annual growth of 13.4%, reaching a peak of $714 billion.

According to Reuters - In a significant procedural shift, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) now mandates that its lawyers obtain approval from its politically appointed leaders before initiating formal investigations, according to two sources familiar with the matter. This change reflects a new approach under the Trump administration's leadership, aiming to centralize decision-making and potentially slow the pace of SEC investigations.Changes in SEC ProceduresHistorically, the authority to launch formal orders of investigation—which allow the issuance of subpoenas for testimony or documents—was delegated to lower-level staff within the SEC. However, under the new guidelines, this authority must now be approved by the Commission itself, which currently consists of two Republicans and one Democrat, all appointed by the president.Impact on Enforcement AutonomyThis recent development marks a departure from previous norms at the agency, where such decisions were more decentralized. "The move to centralize these decisions could lead to fewer impulsive probes and might be seen as an attempt to protect individuals from undue investigations," one source noted, speaking on condition of anonymity. However, critics argue that it restricts the autonomy of enforcement staff and could lead to delays in addressing potential violations.Leadership and Political InfluenceThe change comes as Republican Mark Uyeda leads the SEC, alongside Commissioner Hester Peirce and Democrat Caroline Crenshaw. The former chair, Gary Gensler, and Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, both Democrats, exited the commission last month. Paul Atkins, a former SEC Commissioner nominated by President Trump to lead the agency, is pending confirmation. Atkins is anticipated to significantly shift the SEC's focus from the strategies employed during the Biden administration.Enforcement Practices and Industry ImpactSEC enforcement staff retain the ability to conduct informal inquiries, including sending out requests for information without requiring Commission approval. This setup maintains some level of investigative activity but centralizes more significant enforcement actions.During a recent industry conference panel, Steven Peikin, former SEC co-director of enforcement under Republican Jay Clayton, expressed his views on the changes. "Centralizing formal order authority might reduce the wastage of resources but could also lead to a bottleneck in handling cases efficiently," he speculated.Presidential Influence and Future DirectionsPresident Trump’s executive order on his first day in office aimed to end the "weaponization" of the federal government, which includes agencies like the SEC. The full implications of this order are still unfolding, with ongoing debates about its impact on the SEC’s operational autonomy and its approach to capital market regulation.The new enforcement strategy under the current administration highlights a shift towards a regulatory environment that may be perceived as more business-friendly, potentially easing some of the rigorous oversight seen in previous years.

Odaily星球日报讯 两位知情人士透露，美国 SEC 目前要求其律师在正式启动调查之前获得高层批准。新要求规定，执法人员必须获得政治任命的委员的许可，才能发出传票、索要文件和强制作证。此前，工作人员有权独立启动正式调查，而 SEC 委员对整个过程进行监督。 这一变化发生在 SEC 领导层变动之后，包括上个月前主席 Gary Gensler 和民主党人 Jaime Lizárraga 的离职。特朗普总统任命 Mark Uyeda 为代理主席，该委员会目前由三名委员组成：Uyeda、Hester Peirce 以及 Caroline Crenshaw。 据前银行顾问、现为 NFT 市场分析师的 Tyler Warner 称，新系统将防止“恶意攻击”。SEC 委员将更加谨慎行事，不太可能在没有确凿证据的情况下批准调查。 另一方面，这一程序变化可能会带来合法欺诈案件被遗漏或延迟的风险。“现在说它是净正面还是负面还为时过早，尽管我倾向于正面，”Warner 补充道。 在上一届政府执政期间，SEC 需要获得两名执法主管的批准才能正式启动调（消息人士没有具体说明委员会是否正式投票撤销了之前的授权），而执法人员可以在未经专员批准的情况下继续进行非正式调查，包括发送信息请求。（路透社）

The cryptocurrency market is undergoing a notable correction, with the DeFAI and AI Agents sectors experiencing the sharpest declines, according to a recent report by Odaily. Both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have dipped below their monthly averages, indicating a bearish trend across the board.Sector-Specific PerformanceDeFAI Sector: This sector witnessed a significant drop of 10.32% over the last 24 hours. Notable cryptocurrencies within this sector such as GRIFFAIN, ORBIT (GRIFT), and Hive AI (BUZZ) recorded declines of 7.73%, 22.44%, and 20.26%, respectively.AI Agents Sector: Fell by 8.69% in the same period, with Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) decreasing by 6.80%, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) by 16.01%, and prominent AI tokens like ai16z (AI16Z), AIXBT, and ACT dropping by 15.42%, 6.30%, and 3.74%, respectively.Other Notable Sector MovementsCentralized Finance (CeFi): Dropped by 5.09%.Layer 1 Networks: Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) saw decreases of 5.09% and 6.86%.Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Decreased by 5.66%.Layer 2 Solutions: Experienced a reduction of 5.89%.Meme Sector: Continued its downward trend with Dogecoin (DOGE) falling by 7.25%, Pepe (PEPE) by 5.69%, and OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) by 8.14%.

According to Odaily, venture capital firm a16z has expressed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) should cease holding DeFi protocols accountable for unlawful activities they neither incited nor controlled. The firm emphasized that imposing responsibility on individuals for systems and activities beyond their control could lead to adverse outcomes. Unfortunately, the DOJ has overlooked this distinction, attempting to hold software developers accountable for third-party actions using neutral tools they initially created but no longer control. A16z suggests that the new U.S. presidential administration's primary policy focus on cryptocurrency should be to legally define and understand 'control' accurately. This understanding is crucial for determining whether cryptocurrency companies qualify as 'money transmission businesses,' which are subject to specific regulations and obligations. According to its official website, a16z's investment portfolio includes over 100 cryptocurrency companies, such as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.

According to PANews, Matrixport's latest report highlights a significant technical divergence between Bitcoin's price and its Relative Strength Index (RSI). Despite Bitcoin maintaining a price above $100,000, the RSI has been consolidating, indicating a weakening momentum in the underlying trend. Historically, strong buying opportunities have only emerged when the RSI drops to around 40% during correction and consolidation phases prior to 2024. Currently, the RSI is close to this level at 48%, but has not yet reached it, suggesting that entering new long positions might be premature. A more strategic approach would be to remain patient and wait for the optimal entry point.

According to PANews, NFT sales across 23 blockchains tracked by CryptoSlam totaled approximately $677 million in January 2025. This marks a 23.84% decrease from December 2024's sales of $889 million.

Other notable blockchains included Solana with $80.72 million, Mythos with $34.92 million, Immutable with $32.32 million, and Polygon with $24.95 million.
