【BlockBeats】During Christmas week, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a massive outflow of funds. Data shows a total net outflow of approximately $782 million, with the most intense outflow occurring on Friday—$276 million in a single day.
Specifically, major investors' actions: BlackRock's IBIT saw a single-day outflow of nearly $193 million, Fidelity's FBTC followed with an outflow of about $74 million, and Grayscale's GBTC also continued to redeem—albeit at a smaller but steady rate. This collective withdrawal directly impacted the entire sector—total assets of Bitcoin spot ETFs dropped from over $120 billion in early December to $113.5 billion.
But here’s an interesting detail: despite this wave of fund outflows, Bitcoin’s price surprisingly remained steady around $87,000. What does this indicate? It’s likely not market panic selling; rather, it resembles the routine end-of-year asset rebalancing operations, combined with

El Salvador has been increasing its Bitcoin holdings since the beginning of this year. As of December 28, it has added 1,511 coins, with a total BTC reserve of 7,514.37 coins, valued at nearly $660 million. This indicates that its strategic bet on Bitcoin remains unchanged and reflects its importance in the country's asset allocation.

Pump.fun recently transferred 50 million USDC to Kraken, with a total transfer amount reaching 605 million USDC, drawing attention. Since the ICO price of $0.004 in June, the PUMP price has dropped over 55%, reflecting a significant change in market sentiment towards the project.

This incident reminds us that asset security is crucial in Web3.

【Crypto World】Sonic Labs recently announced significant adjustments to its ETF token allocation execution plan. Previously, the community authorized the use of up to $50 million worth of S tokens for the US-listed ETF project through governance proposals. However, due to recent market pressures and the decline in S token price, the team has decided to reevaluate the execution plan.
What are the core issues with the original plan? Executing at the current price would require the issuance of over 600 million S tokens, which clearly deviates from the original intent of the governance proposal. Sonic Labs believes that blindly increasing supply at unfavorable price levels not only harms token holders' interests but also contradicts long-term strategic development. Therefore, the original plan has been officially rejected, and the team has developed a more rigorous execution framework.
The new constraints include three key points: first, token minting will only be initiated when the S price exceeds $0.5, with a maximum release limit of 100 million tokens; second, the total

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Interestingly, during recent market fluctuations, the actions of a well-known whale account have attracted attention. According to on-chain data from December 27, this major holder has taken action within the past 24 hours.
First, let's talk about Ethereum — currently holding a position of over 25x long, with a position size of 8,200 ETH. At the current price, the liquidation price is around $2,874. Next, looking at HYPE, the 10x long position contains 8,888.88 tokens (this number is somewhat deliberate). Combining these two positions, the total exposure is approximately $24.268 million.
From a net increase perspective, this whale seems to maintain an optimistic attitude toward these two assets. Especially for the HYPE position, although the leverage is relatively low, the position size is somewhat personalized. For traders, such large account position changes often indicate the market's main players' intentions — either accumulating at low levels or...

The LayerZero Ecosystem Foundation has just concluded a vote on the "Fee Switch," but since the participation did not meet the legal requirements, the vote did not pass, and the switch remains closed. This reflects that participants' voices in decision-making are not sufficiently concentrated, and governance participation needs long-term improvement. The next vote will be held in six months, allowing time for discussion.

XRP Ledger's recent user activity is approaching high levels, but the price has not reflected this trend and remains confined within a downward channel. The market is cautious, and it is important to watch whether key price levels can be reclaimed with volume support, in hopes of a medium-term rebound.

A leading DEX derivatives platform achieved a net inflow of $3.87 billion last year, gained 600,000 new users, and the total trading volume for the year reached $2.95 trillion.

【BiTu】A seasoned trader recently shared their views on the current Bitcoin market. They mentioned that they have established a long position in Bitcoin and also allocated some low-cap altcoins.
They observed that almost everyone is on holiday休息 right now, even large funds are adopting a wait-and-see attitude and not actively entering the market. Bitcoin failed to effectively break below the $84,000 level, indicating that the bottom support remains quite solid. More importantly, the overall market trading volume has significantly shrunk, and sellers are clearly exhausted.
In this environment of an ultra-thin order book, once a few large buyers enter, the price can be easily pushed higher. They believe that positioning for longs below 90k has good upward potential, and the stop-loss levels are also very clear. Instead of waiting until 95k, or even 100k, to regret and hesitate, it's better to test the market's reaction now.
Another key point is that January has historically been a period of increased volatility.

A whale transferred 3 million TRUMP tokens to an exchange after holding them for about 50 days, incurring a loss of $7.8 million with a sale price of $14.88 million, reflecting a pessimistic outlook on the market. This large sell-off could impact the future trend of TRUMP.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Big events are happening again. The ongoing incident involving the Trust Wallet vulnerability exploitation continues to unfold, and the latest monitoring data from the PaiDun team shows that hackers have successfully stolen over $6 million worth of crypto assets from victims.
Where did the stolen money go? This is the most heartbreaking part. Currently, about $2.8 million worth of assets still remain in the hacker's wallets, spread across Bitcoin, EVM, and Solana chains. But this is just the tip of the iceberg—the real concern is that over $4 million has already started to "wash" its way through the system.
The flow of funds has been largely traced: approximately $3.3 million was transferred to ChangeNOW, $340,000 went to FixedFloat, and $447,000 flowed to KuCoin. Once the funds enter these trading platforms, tracking becomes significantly more difficult. This also serves as a reminder to everyone that wallet security is no small matter—regular updates are essential.

【BlockBeats】Tokyo just released inflation data that once again presents a "black swan." In December, the Consumer Price Index excluding fresh food rose by 2.3% year-on-year, a significant slowdown from the previous 2.8%. Economists had expected it to drop to 2.5%, but it directly fell below that. This is the first such cooling since August, mainly because the upward pressure on food prices has finally eased, and energy costs have also come down.
The overall inflation rate decreased from 2.7% last year to 2.0%. It sounds good, but there's a detail: core inflation excluding energy prices remains at 2.6%, indicating that price pressures haven't fully dissipated.
The key point is that Tokyo's data is used as a barometer for nationwide inflation. Although the slowdown exceeded expectations, guess what? The Bank of Japan has no intention of easing just because of this correction. Inflation is still above the central bank's 2% target, so the path of continued interest rate hikes is already set.
