ENHYPEN’s new album sold roughly 1.65 million copies in its first 24 hours, instantly becoming this year’s top-selling K-pop album in an already surprisingly packed first two weeks of January.

According to South Korea’s real-time sales Hanteo Chart, THE SIN : VANISH sold 1,652,560 physical copies worldwide upon its release on Friday, January 16, 2026. In the days since it dropped, the EP has already moved more than 140,000 additional copies, per Hanteo, most notably selling an additional 93,615 albums just on Monday, January 19.

Despite the colossal opening, THE SIN : VANISH isn’t even ENHYPEN’s personal best. Hanteo’s historical counts put VANISH behind two earlier one-day totals: 2025’s DESIRE : UNLEASH (which moved about 1.89 million copies on its first day, the band’s biggest single-day sales to date) and 2024’s ROMANCE : UNTOLD (over 1.88 million).

As is typical for K-pop album releases, ENHYPEN unveiled multiple versions and variants of THE SIN : VANISH, each with different creative concepts, colors and collectible items. But the band even took their savvy marketing a step further by including special plushies to accompany the release, and even a “keyring” version of the album packaged with a colorful bat keychain in a Pop Mart–style box. THE SIN : VANISH even includes a track titled “The Voice” that acts as a skit interlude with a faux ad for the keychain plush (saying how the little critters “sent shockwaves through vampire society”) and encourages fans to check out an immersive news site Vampire.Live that imagines ENHYPEN’s ongoing vampire lore into 24-hour media coverage. It all underscores how ENHYPEN’s ENGENE fandom’s buying power has only grown as the group’s mythology and global footprint have expanded.

Industry predictions currently have THE SIN : VANISH in a three-way tie to potentially hit Number One on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart with the new A$AP Rocky album, Don’t Be Dumb, and Bad Bunny’s blockbuster DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS album, with the record currently predicted to move 116,000 units, including 105,000 from traditional album sales.

Perhaps to be more competitive on the digital side, ENHYPEN dropped seven new digital versions of the EP on Monday, January 19, one for each member, where each singer recorded his own version of the new single “Knife” and a personalized voice note to fans. ENHYPEN also unveiled an English version of “Knife,” all of which should support the record’s performance across streaming and digital metrics — particularly with the eight versions of “Knife” potentially being the key to ENHYPEN earning a long-awaited debut entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Elsewhere on the global charts, “Knife” debuted on the Global Spotify Daily chart with roughly 1.532 million streams for its initial tracking window. On YouTube, the official “Knife” video rocketed into the tens of millions of views within the first day, currently boasting more than 27 million views at press time.

Artistically, THE SIN : VANISH is built to be experienced as a single listening experience, rather than a loose set of singles, folding ENHYPEN’s long-running vampire mythology into music meant to be consumed start-to-finish. Along with heavy involvement from the group’s longtime producer ARMADILLO alongside collaborations with unexpected Korean heavyweights like GAEKO of legendary hip-hop group Dynamicduo and indie rocker So!YoON!, VANISH feels like a career milestone that fans are treating more as a collector’s moment in the ongoing support.

The Role of Blockchain in Building Safer Web3 Gaming Ecosystems

The Role of Blockchain in Building Safer Web3 Gaming Ecosystems

The gaming industry is in the midst of a historic shift, driven by the rise of Web3. Unlike traditional games, where developers and publishers control assets and dictate in-game economies, Web3 gaming empowers players with ownership and influence. Built on blockchain technology, these ecosystems are decentralized by design, enabling true digital asset ownership, transparent economies, and a future where players help shape the games they play. However, as Web3 gaming grows, security becomes a focal point. The range of security concerns, from hacking to asset theft to vulnerabilities in smart contracts, is a significant issue that will undermine or erode trust in this ecosystem, limiting or stopping adoption. Blockchain technology could be used to create security processes around secure, transparent, and fair Web3 gaming ecosystems. We will explore how security is increasing within gaming ecosystems, which challenges are being overcome, and what the future of security looks like. Why is Security Important in Web3 Gaming? Web3 gaming differs from traditional gaming in that players engage with both the game and assets with real value attached. Players own in-game assets that exist as tokens or NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and can trade and sell them. These game assets usually represent significant financial value, meaning security failure could represent real monetary loss. In essence, without security, the promises of owning “something” in Web3, decentralized economies within games, and all that comes with the term “fair” gameplay can easily be eroded by fraud, hacking, and exploitation. This is precisely why the uniqueness of blockchain should be emphasized in securing Web3 gaming. How Blockchain Ensures Security in Web3 Gaming?
  1. Immutable Ownership of Assets Blockchain records can be manipulated by anyone. If a player owns a sword, skin, or plot of land as an NFT, it is verifiably in their ownership, and it cannot be altered or deleted by the developer or even hacked. This has created a proven track record of ownership, providing control back to the players, unlike any centralised gaming platform where assets can be revoked.
  2. Decentralized Infrastructure Blockchain networks also have a distributed architecture where game data is stored in a worldwide network of nodes, making them much less susceptible to centralised points of failure and attacks. This decentralised approach makes it exponentially more difficult to hijack systems or even shut off the game’s economy.
  3. Secure Transactions with Cryptography Whether a player buys an NFT or trades their in-game tokens for other items or tokens, the transactions are enforced by cryptographic algorithms, ensuring secure, verifiable, and irreversible transactions and eliminating the risks of double-spending or fraudulent trades.
  4. Smart Contract Automation Smart contracts automate the enforcement of game rules and players’ economic exchanges for the developer, eliminating the need for intermediaries or middlemen, and trust for the developer. For example, if a player completes a quest that promises a reward, the smart contract will execute and distribute what was promised.
  5. Anti-Cheating and Fair Gameplay The naturally transparent nature of blockchain makes it extremely simple for anyone to examine a specific instance of gameplay and verify the economic outcomes from that play. Furthermore, multi-player games that enforce smart contracts on things like loot sharing or win sharing can automate and measure trustlessness and avoid cheating, manipulations, and fraud by developers.
  6. Cross-Platform Security Many Web3 games feature asset interoperability across platforms. This interoperability is made viable by blockchain, which guarantees ownership is maintained whenever assets transition from one game or marketplace to another, thereby offering protection to players who rely on transfers for security against fraud. Key Security Dangers in Web3 Gaming Although blockchain provides sound first principles of security, the Web3 gaming ecosystem is susceptible to threats. Some of the most serious threats include:
Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Smart contracts that are poorly written or lack auditing will leave openings for exploitation and thereby result in asset loss. Phishing Attacks: Unintentionally exposing or revealing private keys or signing transactions that are not possible to reverse, under the assumption they were genuine transaction requests. Bridge Hacks: Cross-chain bridges, which allow players to move their assets between their respective blockchains, continually face hacks, requiring vigilance from players and developers. Scams and Rug Pulls: Rug pulls occur when a game project raises money and leaves, leaving player assets worthless. Regulatory Ambiguity: Global regulations remain unclear; risks exist for players and developers alike. While blockchain alone won’t resolve every issue, it remediates the responsibility of the first principles, more so when joined by processes such as auditing, education, and the right governance, which can improve their contribution to the security landscapes in game ecosystems. Real Life Examples of Blockchain Security in Web3 Gaming Axie Infinity (Ronin Hack): The Axie Infinity game and several projects suffered one of the biggest hacks thus far on its Ronin bridge; however, it demonstrated the effectiveness of multi-sig security and the effective utilization of decentralization. The industry benefited through learning and reflection, thus, as projects have implemented changes to reduce the risks of future hacks or misappropriation. Immutable X: This Ethereum scaling solution aims to ensure secure NFT transactions for gaming, allowing players to trade an asset without the burden of exorbitant fees and fears of being a victim of fraud. Enjin: Enjin is providing a trusted infrastructure for Web3 games, offering secure NFT creation and transfer while reiterating that ownership and an asset securely belong to the player. These examples indubitably illustrate that despite challenges to overcome, blockchain remains the foundational layer on which to build more secure Web3 gaming environments. Benefits of Blockchain Security for Players and Developers For Players: Confidence in true ownership of assets Transparency in in-game economies Protection against nefarious trades/scams For Developers: More trust between players and the platform Less reliance on centralized infrastructure Ability to attract wealth and players based on provable fairness By incorporating blockchain security within the mechanics of game design, developers can create and enforce resilient ecosystems where players feel reassured in investing time, money, and ownership within virtual worlds. The Future of Secure Web3 Gaming Ecosystems As the wisdom of blockchain technology and industry knowledge improves, the future for secure Web3 gaming looks bright. New growing trends include: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): A new wave of protocols that enable private transactions and secure smart contracts while managing user privacy with an element of transparency. Decentralized Identity Solutions (DID): Helping players control their identities and decrease account theft risks. AI-Enhanced Security: Identifying irregularities in user interactions by sampling pattern anomalies to avert hacks and fraud by time-stamping critical events. Interoperable Security Standards: Allowing secured and seamless asset transfers across blockchains and games. With these innovations, blockchain will not only secure gaming assets but also enhance the overall trust and longevity of Web3 gaming ecosystems. Conclusion Blockchain is more than a buzzword in Web3; it is the only way to host security, fairness, and transparency. With blockchain, players confirm immutable ownership of digital assets, there is a decentralized infrastructure, and finally, it supports smart contracts to automate code that protects players and developers from the challenges of digital economies. The threats, vulnerabilities, and scams that come from smart contracts still persist, but the industry is maturing with better security practices, cross-chain solutions, and increased formal cryptographic tools. In the coming years, blockchain will remain the base to digital economies and drive Web3 gaming environments that allow players to safely own, trade, and enjoy their digital experiences free from fraud and exploitation. While blockchain and gaming alone entertain, we will usher in an era of secure digital worlds where trust complements innovation.

Knocking Bitcoin's lack of yield shows your ‘Western financial privilege’

                                                                               Macro analyst Luke Gromen’s comments come amid an ongoing debate over whether Bitcoin or Ether is the more attractive long-term option for traditional investors.                     Macro analyst Luke Gromen says the fact that Bitcoin doesn’t natively earn yield isn’t a weakness; it’s what makes it a safer store of value.“If you’re earning a yield, you are taking a risk,” Gromen told Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories podcast on Wednesday, responding to a question about critics who dismiss Bitcoin (BTC) because they prefer yield-earning assets.“Anyone who says that is showing their Western financial privilege,” he added.Read more
