Foresight News reported that Believe has announced its v2 (beta version) is now available on the App Store, aiming to track real-time human sentiment. The official description defines the product as a "Sentiment market," positioned between Memecoin and prediction markets. The market is divided into two directions: "Believe" and "Doubt," with the total price of both always maintained at $1. Unlike traditional prediction markets, this market never resolves, and users trade solely based on their belief in the rise or fall of someone's popularity. Initially, the markets for high-profile individuals will be manually deployed by the official team, with the first sentiment market featuring its founder Ben Pasternak. In the future, users will be allowed to create markets for any X account, enabling Believe to present sentiment data for anyone, and a revenue-sharing mechanism may be introduced to incentivize creators.

BlockBeats News, January 14th, despite ETH's price still being in a sideways consolidation phase, the number of new Ethereum wallets created hit a historical high last week, with network adoption rebounding strongly. An average of 327,000 new Ethereum wallets were created every day over the past week, reaching a record-breaking over 393,000 new wallets on Sunday, the highest single-day record in history. The total number of non-zero Ethereum wallets (addresses holding some ETH) reached a new all-time high of 172.9 million. The Fusaka upgrade, scheduled to go live on Ethereum in early December 2025, optimizes on-chain data processing, significantly reducing the cost for Layer 2 networks to submit data to the mainnet, making using Ethereum cheaper and easier, especially for interacting with rollups and dApps. Meanwhile, Ethereum stablecoin activity has surged, with a record-breaking total stablecoin transfer volume exceeding $80 trillion in Q4 2025, showing Ethereum being used for actual payments and settlements rather than purely speculative purposes. Santiment points out: "Such real financial activity often attracts new participants creating wallets for sending, receiving, or holding stablecoins and other tokens."
