Matrixport's latest report reveals a fatal paradox in the crypto market: the total supply of stablecoins has surpassed $260 billion, reaching a record high. However, the inflow of new funds has peaked and slowed down, causing Bitcoin to lose a key moving average and drop below $86,000. The core issue lies in the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on interest rate cuts, which suppresses risk appetite, turning the massive stablecoin reserves into "dead weight" rather than market-driving fuel.

Shares of Juventus rose 17% after Exor rejected Tether's cash offer for the club. Tether previously acquired a minority stake in February. Despite the gain, shares are still down significantly over the past year and five years.

Stablecoin giant Tether has officially launched a comprehensive acquisition of Italy's century-old football powerhouse Juventus, showcasing a direct clash between the new crypto giants and traditional industrial dynasties. The company proposed to acquire 65.4% of the shares of Exor NV, controlled by the Agnelli family, at a price of €2.66 per share, paying entirely in cash, with the overall club valuation estimated at around €1.1 billion. However, this bold offer was immediately met with a “unanimous rejection” by the Exor board, and family head John Elkann explicitly stated that “Juventus is not for sale.” This acquisition attempt is not only about football but also reflects, on a deeper level, the cultural, trust, and value barriers faced by cryptocurrency capital in seeking recognition from the traditional world and diversifying assets.

Tether submitted an offer of €1.1 billion to acquire Juventus and pledged to invest €1 billion, but Exor, controlled by the Agnelli family, rejected the offer the next day, emphasizing that commitment and heritage are more important than money for the club. Ultimately, the acquisition plan fell through.

The support of these two investment giants could help Tether accelerate growth and gain more mainstream recognition in the tech and financial sectors.

If Dubai is the "Las Vegas" of the crypto world—lively, marketing-driven, retail investors—then Abu Dhabi is quietly becoming the "New Wall Street"—capital, compliance, institutions. Recently, a uniform phenomenon has occurred across the global crypto market: leading stablecoin issuers and the largest exchanges have simultaneously obtained the same "pass." On December 9th The compliance stablecoin giant Circle obtained an ADGM financial services license (FSP). On December 8th The stablecoin leader Tether's USDT received recognition from ADGM. The leading exchange Binance announced it has obtained full permission from ADGM and will launch a new "three-entity" compliant framework in 2026. This is no coincidence. When trillion-dollar leaders collectively choose to "settle," it marks that crypto regulation in the Middle East has already

Stablecoin leader Tether announced today (10th) the launch of a new product, QVAC Health. The official statement claims this is the world's first personal health and wellness platform designed with a core principle of "100% device-side operation, never touching the cloud." What's the highlight? (Background: Tether launched its own AI platform QVAC, supporting P2P, encrypted payments, and local high privacy; initial applications will be showcased.)

Clay Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation explains that initially inexpensive products can reshape industries. Stablecoins have shown strong performance in emerging markets, attracting ignored customers. However, existing financial institutions have not overlooked this innovation; instead, they are actively following suit. In the future, stablecoins could become a massive market asset by 2030.

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is bringing its blueprint for "crypto Wall Street" to life with a clear pace. In about a month and a half, the international financial center has successively issued key licenses to the core pillars of the industry: on November 27, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD was the first to obtain the status of "accepted fiat currency reference token"; On December 9, Tether's USDT received equal recognition on nine new blockchains, and on the same day, stablecoin issuer Circle received a financial services license, while a leading cryptocurrency exchange also received full operational authorization. This series of approvals is not accidental, it systematically builds a complete digital financial ecosystem covering stablecoin payments, asset transactions, and compliant settlements.

On December 9th, Twenty One Capital Inc. saw its stock price plummet by 25% on its first day of listing through a SPAC merger, with an opening price of $10.74, significantly lower than Cantor Equity Partners' closing price of $14.27. This Bitcoin treasury company, founded by Tether, SoftBank Group, and others, holds approximately $3.9 billion worth of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin asset company Twenty One Capital, backed by stablecoin giant Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank, suffered a significant setback on its first trading day after going public on the New York Stock Exchange via a SPAC merger. On December 10, its stock ticker XXI opened below its issue price and closed at $11.42, plunging 20% compared to the pre-merger closing price of the special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners, with a market capitalization of approximately $4 billion. The company currently holds about $3.9 billion worth of Bitcoin and plans to expand into Bitcoin financial infrastructure and media education businesses beyond its Bitcoin holdings. This debut slump reveals a cautious market stance toward new crypto-listed companies, especially as the price of Bitcoin has fallen 28% from its yearly high and the digital asset treasury model faces structural challenges.

Author: Jae, PANews Another stablecoin branded as a “Tether offspring” has officially launched, but the market doesn’t seem to be buying into it. On the evening of December 8, the highly anticipated stablecoin-specific public chain, Stable, officially launched its mainnet and the STABLE token. As a Layer 1 project deeply incubated by the core teams of Bitfinex and Tether, the “Tether offspring” narrative drew widespread market attention to Stable as soon as it debuted. However, amid tightening market liquidity, Stable didn’t have a strong start like its competitor Plasma. Not only did its price remain sluggish, but it also fell into a trust crisis over alleged insider trading. Is Stable’s script to first dip before rising, or will it continue to open low and go lower? STABLE drops 60% from launch high, mired in an insider trading trust crisis Stab

Written by: Lin Wanwan Twelve minutes’ drive north of Singapore Changi Airport stands one of the world’s most secure private vaults, Le Freeport, at the end of the runway. This building, which cost around 100 million Singapore dollars, is known as the “Fort Knox of Asia.” It has no windows, yet maintains a constant temperature of 21°C and a humidity level of 55% year-round, perfectly suited for storing artwork. Behind its heavily guarded steel doors lie hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of gold, silver, and rare artworks: all kept tax-free and customs-free. Three years ago, one of Asia’s youngest crypto billionaires, Bitdeer founder Wu Jihan, acquired this vault—rumored to have cost as much as 100 million Singapore dollars—for just 40 million SGD (about 210 million RMB). This deal was confirmed that year by Bloomberg, and behind the purchase was Bitdeer, operated by Wu Jihan.

Whale Alert flagged a transfer of 43,033 bitcoins (worth approximately $3.9 billion) to an address associated with Twenty One (stock ticker XXI). However, on-chain analysts warn that interpreting this as a new Tether buy order would misrepresent the flow of funds—the source and pricing of these bitcoins had already been determined before the alert was issued.

In brief Tether took part in a €70 million funding round for Italian humanoid robotics startup Generative Bionics. The firm plans industrial testing and a production facility ahead of deployments targeted for 2026. The deal adds Tether to a surge of investment in humanoid robots from tech, indu

Author: Luca Prosperi Translated by: TechFlow When I graduated from university and applied for my first management consulting job, I did what many ambitious yet timid male graduates often do: I chose a company that specialized in serving financial institutions. In 2006, the banking industry was the epitome of “cool.” Banks were usually located in the most magnificent buildings on the most beautiful streets in Western Europe, and at the time, I was eager to seize the opportunity to travel around. However, no one told me that this job came with a more hidden and complicated condition: I would be “married” to one of the largest yet most specialized industries in the world—the banking industry, and for an indefinite period. The demand for banking experts has never disappeared. During economic expansion, banks become more creative and need capital; during economic contraction, banks need restructuring, and they still need capital. I once tried to escape this vortex, but just
