Infini Course | Stablecoin vs. Credit Card: The Future of Business Payments in 2025

For the last half-century, the global economy has run on financial rails built in the 1960s. The "Four-Party Model" of credit card processing — involving the Merchant, Acquirer, Network, and Issuer — brought ubiquity to commerce, but it came at a staggering price.

Infini View | Compliant Privacy: The Key to Next-Generation Crypto Payment Networks

As digital money and on-chain finance are rebuilt, compliant privacy is becoming the key factor determining the success of next-generation payment networks. The future is no longer a simple contest between decentralization and regulation — it’s about finding a new balance. Advanced cryptography, such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), enables a payment system that is both auditable and private. Only through these technologies can a network meet regulators’ demand for transparency while satisfying users’ need for privacy and data control.

Infini Global | USDe’s 60-Minute Panic: A Billion-Dollar Perfect Storm — Who Pays the Price?

Around 5:00 p.m. ET on October 10, 2025, countless crypto investors around the world found themselves unable to sleep. Within just two hours, USDe, a stablecoin once hailed as the next-generation star of DeFi, plunged off a cliff — from $1.00 to $0.65 on Binance’s USDe/USDT spot pair. The result: a catastrophic liquidation cascade that wiped out billions of dollars in value. But this was far more than a simple depeg. It was a perfect storm — a convergence of macro black swans, the lure of extreme leverage, structural flaws in the protocol itself, and the failure of major exchange systems. Like a prism, the event refracted the deepest vulnerabilities of today’s crypto ecosystem. Today, we’ll unravel the story step by step — a full reconstruction of this heart-stopping financial drama.

Infini Global | Intent Dawn: A New Economy for AI Agents in Web3

We are standing at the threshold of a profound transformation: artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving from a mere assistive tool into autonomous entities — agents — capable of perceiving, reasoning, making decisions, and interacting with both the physical and digital worlds. This shift is not just a technological leap; it signals the emergence of a brand-new economic participant. Once AI agents achieve economic independence, a trillion-dollar, machine-driven, high-speed “agent economy” will no longer be science fiction — it will be imminent reality.

Infini View | The Powell Effect: How Spot ETFs Pulled Crypto into the Macro Arena

Over the past decade, the pulse of the crypto asset market was driven mainly by events within its own ecosystem. A major Ethereum upgrade, a DeFi protocol innovation, or even a single tweet by a key industry KOL such as Vitalik Buterin could trigger violent swings. This was the age of the “Vitalik Effect,” when pricing was anchored to technology narratives, project milestones, and community sentiment. But this “old paradigm” is fading fast. Today, attention has shifted toward Washington—every speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, every CPI or NFP release carries unprecedented influence that eclipses crypto-native news. This shift—the rise of the “Powell Effect”—is the defining feature of the new paradigm: global macro liquidity is now the dominant force behind crypto pricing.
