China Bitcoin legalization is priced at 5% but Beijing’s February 2026 Ban 2.0 made one detail brutal
Polymarket traders are pricing the prospect of China legalizing onshore Bitcoin purchases at roughly 5%.At first glance, the number appears dismissive. Still, it raises the question of whether the Chinese government will explicitly permit citizens to convert renminbi into Bitcoin within mainland China by the end of 2026.That distinction matters because the regulatory architecture Beijing recently completed points in the opposite direction.The prediction market asks a binary question: Will the People’s Republic of China announce by Dec. 31, 2026, that Chinese citizens can legally buy Bitcoin with yuan within China?The resolution hinges on the announcement itself, not on implementation. It…

Aave price could plummet under $100 and risk new multi-year lows. Bears can decisively take out the psychological level and test the $75-$80 range. However, dips can offer a buy-the-dip opportunity before a sharp rebound. Aave fell to around $108 as decentralised finance tokens broadly moved into negative territory. With broader market pressures weighing on sentiment, AAVE faces rising downside risks and is at risk of slipping below the key $100 support level. The outlook reflects continued volatility across the sector, with a notable decline in total value locked, highlighting growing vulnerability to further price weakness. Aave price retests $108…

Ethereum researcher ladislaus.eth published a walkthrough last week explaining how Ethereum plans to move from re-executing every transaction to verifying zero-knowledge proofs.The post frames it as a “quiet but fundamental transformation,” and the framing is accurate. Not because the work is secret, but because its implications ripple across Ethereum’s entire architecture in ways that won’t be obvious until the pieces connect.This isn’t Ethereum “adding ZK” as a feature. Ethereum is prototyping an alternative validation path in which some validators can attest to blocks by verifying compact execution proofs rather than re-running every transaction.If it works, Ethereum’s layer-1 role shifts from…
