Nevertheless, experts pointed out that public key cryptography, which blockchain networks like Bitcoin rely on, carries potential risks. Boosty Labs expert Sofiia

On-chain analysis shows that Yili Hua's Trend Research began accumulating Ethereum in early November, holding approximately 645,000 ETH, making it the third-largest holding entity.

Despite the recent continuous pressure on SOL prices, on-chain data from the Solana network presents a completely different picture. The latest data shows that the staked amount of Solana has risen to 409 million SOL, reaching a new all-time high, indicating that network security and long-term participation are still strengthening. This change has attracted market attention: in the context of declining prices, are investors ignoring the important signals released by Solana's fundamentals? From a network perspective, a high staking rate means more SOL is locked up to maintain the network's consensus mechanism, which helps enhance the resistance to attacks and overall stability of the Solana blockchain. For long-term holders, the continuously increasing staked SOL is often seen as a sign of confidence in the ecosystem and is also one of the important indicators of the health of the public chain.

Recently, Bitcoin prices have been volatile, reflecting that the global macro environment and risk sentiment remain unstable. In the context of an unclear short-term direction, the continued strength of gold prices is being viewed by the market as a potential catalyst for the next wave of Bitcoin growth. Historical data shows that as long as the correlation logic holds, rising gold prices often serve as an important reference for Bitcoin price movements. Over the past year, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has significantly strengthened. As institutional investors regard Bitcoin as "digital gold" and a macro hedge asset, its price trend has gradually synchronized with gold prices. Historically, there have been multiple instances where gold led the rally, followed by Bitcoin catching up. The underlying logic is that after risk appetite warms, funds gradually shift from defensive assets to high-elasticity assets, benefiting Bitcoin. Since 2024, this "gold rising—Bitcoin following" pattern has been repeatedly validated in both spot and derivatives markets.

During the overall crypto market's quiet Christmas season, XRP's price has begun to show some noteworthy signals of change. Although XRP has declined approximately 16.8% over the past 30 days and the short-term trend remains weak, momentum, capital flow, and whale activity are all improving in tandem, and market discussions about a “XRP Christmas rally” are gradually heating up. Firstly, from a technical perspective, XRP's price has been declining continuously from early November to late December, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has formed higher lows, indicating a classic bullish divergence. This suggests that while the price is falling, the downward momentum is weakening, often an early sign of a trend reversal. Additionally, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has shown similar signals. From late November to mid-December, XRP's price was declining while the MFI continued to rise, indicating that funds are flowing back in on dips. Recently, the MFI has moved out of the oversold region, implying that buying interest is recovering.

Zcash (ZEC) price recently stabilized above the key support level of $400 and rebounded about 10% on Wednesday, indicating that the bullish forces are regaining control. Currently, Zcash is in a typical bullish triangle consolidation pattern, with the market watching whether it can effectively break through the upper resistance to open up a new upward space. Market data shows that Zcash price previously retreated nearly 10% from the high of $454, but after the bulls successfully held the $400 support, they quickly launched a counterattack. As of now, ZEC is around $446, a roughly 45% rebound from the December low. However, compared to the intra-year high of $723 set in November, there is still about 38% room for correction, which means that once the trend reversal is confirmed, there is still ample upward potential.

ChainCatcher News reports, according to Glonghui, HS Dent Investment Company founder Harry Dent recently warned that the most severe market crash in history will occur in 2026. Dent predicts that the current market bubble, which has lasted nearly 17 years, will burst, leading to a 90% decline in the stock market. He describes it as the worst market environment since the Great Depression, with stocks, real estate, and digital assets all trapped in a debt-driven "super bubble." Dent stated that early 2026—especially January—will be a critical period to determine whether the bubble will finally burst or if it will be extended for another year. The reason is that, based on historical experience, the strong performance of the stock market in the first week and month of January often indicates a bullish trend for the entire year; however, if January performs weakly, it will further confirm his bearish outlook. He summarized that the only assets that might "survive" are U.S. government bonds.

For years, online black markets for drugs, weapons, and illicit services operated in the shadows of the dark web, relying on Tor and complex anonymity tools.

This burn plan received about 85% support, representing a typical deflationary token economic adjustment.

In recent years, on-chain new banks have shown unexpected rapid growth in the field of crypto banking. These native blockchain financial platforms are managing assets close to the scale of traditional banks, yet they do not require physical branches, paper processes, or complex backend systems. All fund flows, account management, and transaction settlements are completed in real-time on the blockchain, unrestricted by time and location. A new digital banking model is rapidly taking shape. Unlike traditional banks that rely on multiple intermediaries and centralized systems, on-chain new banks use blockchain as the core infrastructure. Users' funds are no longer stored in bank accounts but are directly kept in personal crypto wallets, truly achieving autonomous asset management. This model significantly reduces trust costs and also minimizes efficiency losses caused by middlemen. More importantly, on-chain new banks operate around the clock, with cross-border transfers often completed within minutes. Compared to the settlement cycles of traditional banks, which can take several days, the advantages are clear.

U.S. leading CEX CEO Brian Armstrong recently publicly stated that Bitcoin is superior to gold as a currency and store of value. This view quickly sparked widespread discussion in the cryptocurrency market. As the helm of the world's largest compliant crypto trading platform, his statement is seen by many investors as a strong endorsement of Bitcoin's long-term value. Armstrong pointed out that in the digital age, Bitcoin has several structural advantages over gold. First, Bitcoin can be transferred quickly worldwide via the internet, whereas gold incurs high costs and low efficiency in storage, transportation, and cross-border circulation. Second, Bitcoin is highly divisible, with the smallest units precise to multiple decimal places, making it more suitable for daily transactions and asset allocation, whereas gold faces obvious limitations in practical division and circulation.

Against the backdrop of increasing volatility in the overall crypto market, the Arbitrum ecosystem continues to expand. An increasing number of developers, institutional investors, and DeFi users are choosing Arbitrum, due to its high scalability, low transaction fees, and highly compatible security architecture with Ethereum. Offchain Labs has directly purchased ARB tokens to provide stronger confidence backing for this growth trend.

On December 25th, Pi Network unlocked approximately 8.7 million PI tokens as scheduled, sparking community concerns about supply changes and ecological carrying capacity. The PI token unlock coincided with increased network transactions and application usage during the holiday period, which many ecosystem participants view as a "stress test" rather than a direct market bearish signal. Pi officials and the community have repeatedly emphasized that there is currently no officially recognized public market price for PI tokens. Mechanically, this unlock is part of Pi Network's established token distribution process, related to user engagement and ecological development milestones. Although an increase in token quantity often implies selling pressure risk in other projects, Pi still operates within a closed economic system and lacks a clear exchange price discovery mechanism. Therefore, the short-term impact mainly manifests within the ecosystem rather than the external market. Community feedback indicates that the unlock process went smoothly and did not cause significant disruptions to wallets or application operations.

Despite continued decline in investor participation and a significant pullback in the price of Worldcoin (WLD), well-known crypto venture capital firm Multicoin Capital still chose to increase its holdings against the trend. According to on-chain data, Multicoin Capital recently purchased 60 million WLD tokens directly from the Worldcoin project team through over-the-counter (OTC) trading, signaling the institution's long-term optimism for the biometric identity sector. On-chain analysis platform Lookonchain discovered that a wallet address believed to be associated with Multicoin Capital transferred 30 million USDC to the Worldcoin team and subsequently received 60 million WLD tokens. This indicates that the institution did not accumulate in the open market but instead opted for large-scale direct transactions with the project team to reduce impact on secondary market prices. This move occurred amid a noticeably weakening market sentiment for WLD, making it particularly noteworthy.
