TechFlow News, December 21, according to Decrypt, Indiana State Representative Kyle Pierce stated that although Bitcoin is the first crypto asset, legislation should not only benefit BTC. In the crypto bill he submitted this month, he deliberately kept the terms broad and did not set a market cap threshold, aiming to avoid "picking winners and losers" in legislation. Pierce emphasized that the goal is to promote the entire crypto market, rather than focusing on Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Tether. Unlike states such as New Hampshire, the bill does not set a $500 billion market cap limit. Pierce noted that newly issued tokens are not suitable for public employee retirement investments and that adjustments will be made during hearings. The bill also includes protections for miners, stipulating that the state government may not take targeted negative actions against mining activities. Previous news: Indiana lawmakers proposed supporting the inclusion of Bitcoin in pensions and protecting crypto payment rights.

According to Odaily, Pundi AI has announced a partnership with the development team of the decentralized computing network LinqProtocol, LinqAI, to jointly build a decentralized AI ecosystem powered by trusted data and scalable computing power. Pundi AI enables the community to create and validate high-quality AI training data through on-chain traceability and tokenized ownership, while LinqProtocol provides global GPU and CPU resources through a permissionless computing network, allowing AI tasks to be run at costs lower than centralized cloud solutions. This collaboration will combine Pundi AI's verifiable datasets with LinqProtocol's computing power network to unlock new use cases that require intensive computation, such as advanced AI agents, inference workloads, simulation, and automation. Both parties share the vision of enabling users to control the value they create, ensuring data belongs to its creators and computing power is transparent and globally distributed. In the future, as both ecosystems expand, more integrations, incentive mechanisms, and developer opportunities will be introduced, jointly building a community-driven, open-network-supported AI future.

IOSG founding partner Jocy stated in an article that 2025 will be the dawn of the institutional era, with institutions holding 24% and retail investors exiting by 66%. Although BTC will decline by 5.4% in 2025, it once reached a new high of $126,080. The current period is not the bull market top, but rather the institutional accumulation phase. In the short term, it will fluctuate within the $87,000 to $95,000 range, with a target of $120,000 to $150,000 in the first half of 2026. Despite the price drop, ETF inflows still reached $25 billion.
