Crypto Market Overview BTC (-4.20% | Current price 85,740 USDT): After failing to effectively break through the key resistance level of 95,000 USD last week, Bitcoin's price continued to weaken and gradually retraced to the core supply and demand zone. From a daily chart perspective, both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages are above the price, showing a downward trend slightly above the 100,000 USD level, further reinforcing the medium-term bearish technical pattern. However, the current price has approached the lower band of the Bollinger Bands, and both RSI and KDJ are in oversold zones, indicating that the short-term downward momentum is weakening. The 79,000–82,000 USD range remains the most critical demand support zone, where strong buying previously entered, forming a temporary bottom in this round of correction; if the price faces further pressure and declines again, this area is likely to remain the core of bullish defense.

Author: Crypto Weituo; Source: X, @thecryptoskanda After BMNR and MSTR consecutively fell below mNAV 1, basically everyone talking about DAT would say, “The DAT scam is over.” From the perspective of the crypto-native community, DAT is invalid: it’s like letting others buy coins for you with your own money, especially since several coins have ETFs. Currently, buying DAT can be seen as paying for the personal brands of Tom Lee and Michael Saylor — donating money to these two influencers who target traditional finance. But does it really serve no purpose at all? Maybe not. 1. Earning income through holding coins to support DAT’s performance Many DAT projects are considering or already doing this. Mainly by using the held tokens for staking, such as Solana’s DAT; there are also discussions about using lending protocols to generate revenue.

In the crypto world, a single click mistake can trigger a "digital disaster." One of the most common nightmares is sending assets to the wrong blockchain. For example, intending to send ETH to an address on the Ethereum Sepolia testnet, but accidentally sending it to an address on the Ethereum mainnet. In such cases, is it still possible to recover the mistakenly transferred funds from the Ethereum mainnet? Whether assets can be recovered depends crucially on the type of the recipient address. This article will analyze different scenarios. 1. Scenario 1: The recipient address is an EOA EOA (Externally Owned Account) is the common wallet address controlled directly by a private key or mnemonic phrase. Prerequisites for asset recovery: - You transferred assets to an EOA address. - You possess the private key or mnemonic phrase for this target EOA address.

From multiple interviews with Tom Lee, we can roughly see his long-term optimistic core logic about Ethereum: 1. Ethereum is the core settlement layer for future financial infrastructure. ETH is not only a digital currency but also the infrastructure for building and operating DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs, on-chain markets, RWA, and more. Especially in terms of RWA, this will be the biggest narrative in the future. Wall Street is bringing trillions of assets (bonds/stocks, etc.) on-chain to Ethereum. As the dominant settlement layer, Ethereum will generate a large demand and drive the increase in ETH value. Tokenization is not short-term speculation but a structural transformation that will drive ETH into a bull market independent of BTC. 2. Institutional adoption and ecosystem maturity. Currently, approximately 4 million BTC wallets worldwide hold over $10,000 in assets, while the global holdings of stocks/pension accounts with similar amounts are about 900 million, a gap of over 200 times.

Gate Research Institute Daily Report: December 15 — The overall crypto market continues to face pressure, with BTC and ETH maintaining low-level consolidation, while GT shows relative resilience. Under the weak performance of mainstream coins, tokens such as FHE, ICE, and BAS have reversed trends and strengthened amid catalysts like privacy computing collaborations with Chainlink, token migrations and mainnet transitions, as well as ERC-8004 protocol upgrades, reflecting a concentrated battle for structural opportunities among funds. The structural selling pressure in the options market still suppresses BTC upside momentum. The divergence between ETF bullish demand and OG holders selling volatility suggests that BTC is more likely to remain in short-term consolidation rather than make rapid breakthroughs; Ant International is reconstructing corporate treasury management systems through blockchain, AI, and tokenized deposits; after the mainnet launch of Stable, on-chain activity has been below expectations, highlighting ongoing challenges for the differentiated implementation of stablecoin public chains.
