Consensus Miami: Institutional Investors Remain Cautious Toward Perpetual DEXs; Security Risks and KYC Compliance Are Core Barriers
According to CoinDesk, at the “Perp DEX Explosion: Bullish Volumes and Bear Market Resilience” panel at Consensus Miami, several industry insiders stated that institutional investors are still largely avoiding decentralized exchanges offering perpetual futures (Perp DEXs). Veteran trader Wizard of SoHo pointed out that Drift’s recent multi-million-dollar hack highlights security vulnerabilities in the DeFi ecosystem, making secure onboarding of institutional capital a core competitive focus for major Perp DEXs. Anderson of Canary Labs expressed concern about DeFi’s current security posture, noting that large institutions face significantly greater challenges adopting decentralized exchanges compared to centralized platforms. Additionally, the structural tension between DeFi’s permissionless, open design and institutions’ stringent KYC compliance requirements is seen as a key barrier to scaling adoption. Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, shared his views on AI-powered trading tools, stating that AI agents represent an evolutionary extension of algorithmic trading—and that trading will increasingly become fully automated.

Analysis: The MEME coin sector has rebounded nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization rising to $34 billion.
According to DL News, CoinMarketCap data shows that the meme coin sector rose nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization climbing to $34 billion—still down approximately 75% from its peak of nearly $140 billion in December 2024. Analysts say this rally is primarily driven by improved risk appetite, heightened on-chain speculation, and sharp gains among a few top-tier tokens—factors that may not fully reflect the sector’s overall health. Dogecoin remains the highest-market-cap and highest-trading-volume meme coin, yet it is down 87% from its 2021 all-time high. Additionally, the SEC and CFTC recently proposed a five-category token classification framework that classifies meme coins as collectibles; Canary Capital has also filed an application with the SEC for a Pepe ETF.
USDT0 Reveals Security Architecture Details: Implements 3/3 Verification Mechanism and Launches $6 Million Bug Bounty Program
following the Kelp security incident, Tether's asset interoperability protocol USDT0 has disclosed details of its protocol security architecture. It stated that the system currently utilizes a proprietary DVN (Decentralized Verification Network) with message veto authority, and requires 3 independent validators, operating on different codebases, to reach a 3/3 consensus before cross-chain messages can be settled. The current verification nodes include the USDT0 proprietary DVN, LayerZero, and Canary, with future plans to expand to 4/4 and 5/5 verification mechanisms.USDT0 also stated that all multi-signature transactions must undergo multiple reviews by internal teams, external security teams, and auditing firms before signatures are submitted. The relevant contracts have been audited by firms such as Guardian and OpenZeppelin, and a $6 million bug bounty program has been launched on Immunefi.

BitMEX Research Proposes Bitcoin “Canary Fund” Scheme
BitMEX Research published an article proposing an alternative soft fork to BIP-361, suggesting that dormant bitcoins vulnerable to quantum attacks be frozen only upon confirmed existence of a quantum computer capable of stealing bitcoins. The proposal introduces a “canary fund” mechanism: a special bitcoin address whose private key is unknown but theoretically crackable by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer; users may donate BTC to this address as a bounty. If funds are spent from this address, it signals confirmed quantum threat and automatically triggers the freezing mechanism. BitMEX Research states that this proposal serves as a less contentious alternative to the more controversial BIP-361.

Odaily, Feb 11 – On local time the 11th, as the last batch of Australian passengers were evacuated from Spain’s Canary Islands, the multi-day international medical evacuation and personnel transfer operation for the “Hondius” cruise ship’s Hantavirus outbreak is drawing to a close. The vessel carried over 140 passengers and crew from 23 countries. In the past few weeks, the Hantavirus outbreak has resulted in multiple deaths, drawing international concern. Several countries have been conducting evacuation operations.Early on local time the 10th, the “Hondius” cruise ship entered waters near the port of Granadilla on Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. Instead of docking directly at the pier, the closely-watched ship anchored several hundred meters offshore, after which the cross-border medical evacuation and personnel transfer operation began.
