Congratulations to the column authors and article authors mentioned above. Their contributions have added wonderful content to the platform. In January, Trump-related trades became a short-term catalyst for the crypto market, but then quickly cooled down. AI Agent, as the hottest narrative of this bull market, also saw a significant adjustment due to the emergence of DeepSeek. The direction of the crypto market in 2025 remains full of uncertainties, and we look forward to more high-quality content to continue documenting the industry's development.

The February rankings will be announced in early March 2025, and we look forward to seeing more new faces. We welcome authors who have deep thoughts on the market, industry, and cryptocurrency sector, and are skilled in writing about trending events, emerging projects, in-depth research reports, and sector observations to join us. High-quality content will have the opportunity to be featured on the homepage, pinned, and pushed through the APP for various exposure opportunities.
