Important recent news about OP:
1️⃣ Superchain Revenue Buyback Program Supports Token Value
The Optimism Foundation plans to implement a 12-month buyback program starting in February, using 50% of the revenue from Superchain (including ecosystems like Base, Unichain, World Chain, etc.) to buy back OP tokens. Based on revenue data from the past 12 months, approximately 2934 ETH will be used for this purpose. This mechanism establishes a direct link between Superchain ecosystem revenue and OP token value, creating a sustainable value return mechanism and providing long-term support for token holders.
2️⃣ Flexible Treasury Management Enhances Ecosystem Development Momentum
The proposal also includes provisions for the foundation to flexibly manage Ethereum treasury assets, which can be used for staking profits, increasing liquidity, and supporting ecosystem growth. This reform reduces cumbersome governance processes, improves fund utilization efficiency, and provides more flexible financial support for the rapid iteration and expansion of the Optimism ecosystem.
3️⃣ OP Token and Superchain Successfully Bound to Strengthen Incentive Mechanisms
By directly linking the economic benefits of Superchain with the OP token, the token more closely reflects ecosystem development achievements. Besides potential token burns, the repurchased OP can also be used for ecosystem incentives or rewards for token holders participating in network security, improving the token economic model and aligning the interests of ecosystem participants.

"Has the 'true bottom' not arrived yet? Experts warn: Bitcoin may face a 'surrender sell-off' in the final dip"
Just last week, Bitcoin experienced a thrilling "Raging Bull" rally, dropping over 10% in a single day and nearly breaching the $60,000 mark. Although it then rebounded strongly back to around $70,000, has this rapid sell-off already constituted a so-called "capitulation sell-off"? That is, investors panic and sell at a loss, completely releasing selling pressure and paving the way for the next bull market.
However, from the perspective of the derivatives market, the answer is probably no. According to Amberdata Derivatives Director Greg Magadini's observations, the signals from the futures market suggest that Bitcoin may still have further downside potential.
