Google executive Nick Fox stated that Google does not rule out placing ads in Gemini, a statement that shows the company may blur the lines between advertising and AI products. The introduction of ads will impact user experience and trust in neutrality.

BlockBeats News, January 24 — According to Blur market data, the floor price of the NFT project Moonbirds has increased by over 16% in the past 7 days, now rising to 2.458 ETH. The current highest bid is 2.34 ETH, with a 7-day trading volume of 1004.19. The floor price of this NFT series has increased by 7.81% in the past 24 hours. On the news front, Moonbirds announced that the BIRB token will have its TGE on January 28.

As the boundaries between fintech and cryptocurrencies continue to blur, leading fintech companies such as PayPal, Stripe, Revolut, Klarna, and Robinhood are collectively betting on 2026 to be the year of explosive growth in the cryptocurrency industry. After significantly increasing their digital asset presence in 2025, these companies are planning to further solidify their strategic positions in the global cryptocurrency market, which is approximately trillion USD. Revolut's Head of Cryptocurrency, Leonid Bashlykov, recently stated on LinkedIn that 2026 will be a critical turning point for the company's crypto business development. Currently, this UK-based neobank is massively expanding its cryptocurrency-related roles, and after obtaining the MiCA license, it is positioning itself as a financial infrastructure that serves global capital flows.

Over the past year, the NFT market has significantly cooled down. Whether in terms of trading frequency or overall transaction volume, it has been difficult to replicate the previous peak moments. The pace of NFT trading has slowed, market activity has declined, and more and more traders are choosing to sit on the sidelines and watch. This does not mean that risk appetite has disappeared, but rather that funds and attention are shifting to another class of more liquid assets—high-volume Meme coins, especially Meme coin projects built on Solana. From a market structure perspective, NFT trading volume is highly concentrated. Leading platforms like OpenSea and Blur account for the vast majority of NFT transaction volume, while the presence of small and medium platforms continues to weaken. This trend toward centralization reduces the diversity of trading options and amplifies liquidity risks. For traders seeking efficiency and certainty, the attractiveness of the NFT market is decreasing, with more people preferring to trade only on the most liquid venues or even completely exiting the NFT space.

Foresight News reports that, according to Blur data, the floor price of the Moonbirds NFT series is currently 1.694 ETH, up over 18% in the past day, but this price is more than 95% below the all-time high of nearly 40 ETH.
