Publicity Stunt Sees Bitcoin Logo Projected on Swiss Bank in Zurich

A giant Bitcoin logo has been projected onto the Swiss National Bank in the centre of Zurich. A photograph of the building appeared on Twitter earlier today.
Publicity Stunts Bring Attention to Bitcoin and Help Adoption
The projection is thought to be the work of the bank’s new neighbours, Trust Square. They recently moved in across the road from the Swiss National Bank. Trust Square is a blockchain hub that was launched earlier this month.
The centre is focused on researching and developing blockchain applications. Within the facility, there is room for 200 workstations for use by startups and investors researching the implications and possible applications of the revolutionary new technology.
The tweet featuring the image was posted by Johannes Gees at 8:17AM today. The picture depicts a giant orange Bitcoin logo, measuring at least 15 foot, along with the caption:
“Ist that a #bitcoin on the @snb Schweizerische Nationalbank? Trustsquare rules”

The publicity stunt is another sign that Switzerland is emerging as a leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. The nation is already home to several digital currency-focused startups. The Swiss town of Zug has even been dubbed ‘crypto valley.’ Over 200 companies exploring the technological innovation are based in the small mountain community.
Forcing Bitcoin into the public eye in such a way is obviously great for the leading digital currency and the rest of cryptocurrency by extension. Such publicity stunts help to change the perception of Bitcoin. For years now, digital currency has been wrongfully associated with cyber crime and nothing more.
Being on display so publicly should help shake the connection between dark web drug dealings and digital currency. Unfortunately, despite criminal acts accounting for less than 1% of Bitcoin usage, many members of the public still think that it is only a tool for illegal purposes. This impression is largely down to the fact that the first time many heard of Bitcoin it was in connection with the Silk Road marketplace – an eBay-like service offering illicit items in exchange for Bitcoin.
A similar publicity stunt was recently unveiled in another European hub of cryptocurrency activity. A monument depicting the Bitcoin logo was built by artists Aleksander Frančeškin and Selman Čorović in the Slovenian city of Kranj this March. It was reportedly paid for by the world’s oldest cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp. Bitstamp was founded in Slovenia but now has its head offices in Luxembourg. The monument sits proudly at the centre of a roundabout at the heart of the city.
Meanwhile in Paris, a mural depicting the rise of Bitcoin out of the death of fiat currency was completed by French street artist Ludo. These public displays of Bitcoin should help speed the process of cryptocurrency adoption amongst those who are still sceptical of the technology.

The Alexa of RWAs? Polytrade’s AI Agents Set to Revolutionize Tokenized Investments

RWAs are set to become a multi-trillion-dollar market, but accessibility, understanding, transparency, and monitoring of RWAs remain challenging. But what if you ask an AI agent for insights, trends, and recommendations like asking Alexa for the weather or a playlist?
Polytrade is bringing AI to Real-World Assets (RWAs) with the launch of AI-powered RWA Agents that will act as ambassadors, guides, and monitors for these assets, just like Alexa but for RWAs.
Designed to simplify discovery, analysis, and execution, AI-driven agents mark a major leap in RWA accessibility, allowing users to seamlessly navigate investment opportunities across tokenized treasuries, real estate, structured credit, and more.
By leveraging AI, Polytrade aims to automate market research, enhance asset discovery, simplify decisions, and create a future where interacting and monitoring RWAs is as effortless as a conversation. Just ask, analyze, and invest. Polytrade has mentioned the launch of the first agent in Q1 2025, as per its roadmap.
Polytrade is already one of the leaders in the RWA space, with its cross-asset, cross-chain marketplace having more than 7,000 RWA assets spanning everything from gold and soy to credit, collectibles, and even royalties for music such as BTS, Bieber, and Rihana tracks and business royalties such as beverage sales from Zia. This breadth of assets makes AI integration a seamless fit for Polytrade.
“AI is the missing piece in unlocking the full potential of RWAs,” said Piyush Gupta, Founder at Polytrade. “By integrating an AI-powered RWA Agent, we’re enabling investors to make smarter, data-driven decisions with unparalleled efficiency.”
As per Polytrade’s vision, an integrated swarm of agents will play a pivotal role in RWAs. The vision of a global tokenized marketplace, given its complexities, is impossible without AI. Moreover, Polytrade aims to integrate with multiple third-party AI agents, allowing them access to the entire world of RWAs at a single spot.
Beyond AI innovation, Polytrade’s Q1 2025 roadmap delivers key advancements, including an upgraded Asset Hub UI, dark mode for enhanced user experience, and cross-chain integration via Chainlink CCIP, ensuring accessibility across EVM and non-EVM ecosystems.
Polytrade’s vision for 2025 focuses on integrating traditional and emerging assets into the global blockchain ecosystem, striving to make these assets more accessible, transparent, and efficient for a broad spectrum of investors.
The marketplace is also expanding into DePIN by incorporating bitcoin mining and GPU-sharing opportunities, further diversifying its asset offerings. With new EVM chain deployments and a decentralized option-style market for assets and tokens, Polytrade continues to lead the charge in transforming RWAs into a seamless, liquid, and scalable asset class.
The largest RWA aggregator in the space houses over 7000+ RWAs from 90+ protocols with deep relations with industry giants such as Mastercard, DWF Labs, and Ondo Finance have expanded the platform’s reach and capabilities.
As AI continues to evolve, Polytrade’s vision is to build an intelligent, interactive RWA ecosystem that makes tokenized assets more accessible, liquid, and dynamic than ever before.

Pepe Buldak to Provide $100,000 USDT Support for Initial Franchise Locations

Pepe Buldak, a fusion of Korea’s spicy flavors and the Pepe meme, is launching a subsidy program to establish an independent K-meme coin ecosystem. As part of its decentralized franchise model, “Open Franchise,” the company is offering financial support to accelerate expansion.
The program will provide a subsidy of $10,000 per location for the first 10 stores. Even existing restaurant operators can qualify for support if they meet the requirement of displaying a side sign and offering Pepe Buldak menu items. This aggressive expansion strategy aims to rapidly increase brand awareness and strengthen the meme coin’s presence.
Recognizing the challenges of launching a first-of-its-kind decentralized service, Pepe Buldak will adopt a phased growth approach. Initially, it will introduce partial launches through side signs and menu offerings to reduce both physical and psychological barriers to entry. Over time, the goal is to transition to standalone franchise locations.
Currently in its presale phase, Pepe Buldak plans to launch its proprietary decentralized franchise service, “Open Franchise,” once the presale ends. This Web3-based service will enable anyone worldwide to register as a franchisee independently. Unlike traditional meme coins that derive value solely from recognition, Pepe Buldak aims to integrate real-world business functions by allowing franchise openings through staking, positioning itself as a next-level meme coin.
Interested parties can apply through the official channels. The process is streamlined, requiring only minimal proof and adherence to specific operational steps, eliminating the need for formal contracts. Store information will be registered on the Open Franchise website, allowing token holders to locate participating locations easily. Additionally, the company plans to document and share the franchise launch process on social media to attract further attention and engagement.
This initiative is open to global participants and will continue until the first 10 stores are established on a first-come, first-served basis. With both domestic and international locations expected, Pepe Buldak aims to showcase diverse case studies.
Traditionally, Korea’s signature spicy chicken dish, Buldak, has been recognized internationally primarily through instant ramen products. Pepe Buldak seeks to reintroduce Buldak as a dish in its own right, leveraging the K-meme trend to highlight the excellence of Korean spicy cuisine.

UTONIC: Expanding AVS use cases and rewarding uTON holders

UTONIC, the first revenue-sharing restaking layer designed for one billion users on TON and Telegram, is revolutionizing the TON ecosystem with its innovative AVS (Actively Validated Services) partners. As a key milestone, DuckChain, UTONIC’s first AVS partner and the first EVM-compatible solution on TON, has announced the token listing on OKX on January 16th.
This achievement not only highlights the success of UTONIC’s AVS strategy but also represents a critical step in the expansion of UTONIC’s AVS partner ecosystem. UTONIC had announced partnerships with over 10 AVS partners, signaling the start of a robust ecosystem in the TON network.
DuckChain, the first AVS partner of UTONIC, initiated the collaboration by utilizing UTONIC’s robust AVS framework to secure its operations, delivering a revenue stream for uTON (liquidity restaking token) holders. DuckChain has further strengthened the partnership by integrating uTON as a key staking asset in the staking campaign. This integration has created a unique opportunity for uTON holders to earn more yields, making it a highly attractive staking option in the TON ecosystem.
Through the staking campaign, UTONIC has successfully contributed $5 million in TVL to DuckChain. This high-yield opportunity highlights the value of uTON as a highly valuable asset, incentivizing broader participation while maximizing financial benefits for uTON holders. This milestone demonstrates UTONIC’s influence in the TON ecosystem and its commitment to fostering growth with AVS partners.
Users in UITONIC holding uTON gain access to triple benefits:
- Staking Yield: Native yield from TON staking, approximately 3.6% APR.
- Restaking Yield: Shared revenue from AVS security services, ranging between 5%-15% APR.
- Farming Yield: Incentives in the form of UTONIC tokens and other rewards from participating in TON DeFi, Layer2, and DApp scenarios.
By enabling the TON’s native asset and the existing staked assets to secure applications such as sidechains, data availability layers, keeper networks, oracle networks, bridges, UTONIC enhances the scalability and resilience of the TON ecosystem. Projects like DuckChain leverage UTONIC’s AVS framework to meet the security requirements, attract institutional and professional participants, and fuel broader adoption across TON and Telegram, which exemplifies UTONIC’s vital role in the TON ecosystem by driving liquidity, enhancing security, and fostering the growth of the AVS applications.
UTONIC’s AVS has expanded from the TON mainnet to TON’s Layer 2 infrastructure, marking a significant milestone in the platform’s development. As the first UTONIC’s AVS partner and the first EVM-compatible solution on TON, DuckChain has successfully launched on the mainnet, officially introducing UTONIC’s AVS to TON Layer 2 ecosystems.
AVS provides advanced security guarantees and decentralized insurance mechanisms for protocols operating on TON Layer 2s. By delivering tailored protection, UTONIC enhances the scalability, security, and reliability of the Layer 2 ecosystem, fostering a robust environment for innovation and adoption.
Driving the expansion of the UTONIC ecosystem
DuckChain’s listing not only demonstrates the success of UTONIC’s AVS partnerships but also highlights the role in empowering projects in the TON and telegram ecosystem. Applications leverage AVS to meet stricter security standards, attract larger-scale participants, and drive broader adoption of TON and Telegram.
Gus, head of operation of UTONIC, emphasized: “DuckChain’s listing is a significant milestone not just for them, but for UTONIC as well. It demonstrates the potential of AVS to empower innovative solutions in the TON ecosystem. UTONIC is committed to collaborating with leading AVS partners to create a thriving, interconnected TON ecosystem that benefits all users. This is just the beginning of our journey to drive greater adoption and usability for TON.”
UTONIC plans to expand its partnerships and accelerate the ecosystem’s development. By establishing a high standard of security, UTONIC is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the TON blockchain, paving the way for a thriving and innovative future.

Lava Network Utility Token $LAVA Lists on Bybit, KuCoin, Gate Exchanges

Lava Network, a protocol coordinating dapp and AI agent traffic on any blockchain, is announcing the listing of its $LAVA utility token on ByBit, KuCoin, Gate, and MEXC with trading beginning today, Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM UTC.
Lava is a novel protocol providing users with a fast and reliable experience interacting with blockchain apps. At the heart of the system is the LAVA ($LAVA) token, which routes user traffic, such as DeFi transactions and data queries, between wallets, data providers, and blockchains. LAVA holders are integral to the network, staking their tokens to direct traffic to the fastest and most reliable providers. This drives superior performance and scalability across 40+ chains, with Lava processing over 100 billion transaction requests to date, making LAVA an essential tool for maintaining a high-performing network with minimal downtime.
Key integrations with Lava Network include leading dApps and enterprises such as Keplr, Paraswap, Axelar, and Hypernative, all of which depend on LAVA to keep their user traffic flowing smoothly and efficiently.
Strong Fundamentals Behind $LAVA
Lava’s rapid growth is backed by its robust fundamentals. Since its Mainnet pre-launch in late July 2024, the network has secured over $3.5 million in ARR and $1m+ in onchain revenue. Its tokenomics model fosters long-term value: LAVA’s supply is capped at 1 billion tokens, with no inflationary mechanisms. All investor and team allocations are locked until 2026. LAVA’s tokenomics include a monthly burn mechanism that dynamically adjusts to attract more data providers to the network, with 1.5% of the total token supply burned so far.
Lava also offers a first-of-its-kind revenue-sharing model where contributors can potentially earn rewards directly in the native tokens of supported blockchains. Over $1 million is currently being distributed in native tokens such as AXL, NEAR, and USDC, to LAVA stakers and data providers for securing and optimizing the protocol. Staking rewards can be explored at pools.lavanet.xyz, offering users a direct incentive to participate in the network’s growth.
“Blockchains are digital cities with their own economies,” said Amir Aaronson, Head of the Lava Foundation. “As humans and AI agents increasingly move onchain, they need reliable roads to carry their transactions and data. $LAVA powers these roads, ensuring the free flow of digital commerce. Owning a piece of the Lava Network is like owning a share in the infrastructure that keeps these cities running.”
Magma Devs, a contributor to Lava, raised $15M from prominent investors such as Hashkey, Tribe, and Jump, while Lava Foundation secured over $11M in a private token round from leading founders and community members from Cosmos, Polkadot, Filecoin, and NEAR. Lava is positioned as the protocol managing traffic from AI agents and dapps on every blockchain.
