Ethereum has fallen into a tug-of-war between fear and greed near the key support level of $3000. A whale opened a massive long position worth $537 million at $3175.

Falling below this whale’s price could trigger liquidations, while holding on may indicate the start of a

The heated debate over the future of Bitcoin is intensifying, with the focus on custody, sovereignty, and the role of ETFs. Investor Fred Krueger(Fred Krueger) agrees with Nick Szabo(Nick Szabo)'s dual approach strategy, advocating for mainstream adoption of Bitcoin through banks and ETFs, while firmly defending users' rights to self-custody. This stance aims to bridge the divide between Bitcoin purists and ETF supporters. Analysts such as Eric Balchunas(Eric Balchunas) believe that ETFs offer cheaper and safer custody services and can promote wider adoption of Bitcoin; while critics like Sam

Asset management company manager Michael W. Green claimed that households with an annual income below $140,000 are living in poverty. This statement quickly went viral but also faced strong criticism from economists. Critics such as Scott Winship and Tyler Cowen pointed out that Green's analysis is flawed, failing to account for the significant improvements in the quality and affordability of goods, housing, and healthcare over time. They cited data showing that the middle class is shrinking due to upward income mobility into higher income brackets, and that poverty rates measured by consumpti

Micro1, a startup that provides human expert data for AI training, has seen its founder, Ali Ansari, tell TechCrunch that the company’s annual recurring revenue has soared from $7 million to over $100 million this year. After completing a $35 million Series A funding round, the company’s valuation has reached $500 million, with clients including Microsoft and other Fortune 100 companies. Ansari predicts that, driven by non-AI companies building internal AI agents and robotics companies needing pre-training data, the human data market will grow from $10-15 billion to nearly $100 billion within

On December 4, it was reported that Vitalik Buterin stated Ethereum will continue to enhance security and scalability through “hard invariants.” He reviewed the 2021 EIP-2929/3529, which increased SLOAD costs and reduced refunds; Dencun in 2024, which weakened SELFDESTRUCT; and the 2025 plan to set a single transaction limit at 16,777,216 gas, restricting the executable size per transaction or block, reducing DoS risk, and simplifying clients. He also suggested setting future limits for code byte access, ZK-EVM prover cycles, and memory pricing.

Bitcoin is once again approaching $93,000. Glassnode data shows that there is a significant accumulation of short positions between $92,500 and $94,000, indicating that if the price rises further, a squeeze may occur. Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin has re-established itself above the 20-day moving average near $90,500, with the Bollinger Bands expanding, signaling increased volatility and the potential for further rise to $97,900. If it can effectively break through $93,000, it may trigger a rapid pump; however, if it is blocked and falls back, this area will become a key resistance lev

Travis Hill, the acting chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), stated in prepared testimony that the FDIC expects to propose an application framework for stablecoin issuers seeking federal oversight later this month.

Foot traffic in physical stores showed mixed trends, with an overall decline of 3.4%, but department stores experienced an increase

CoinShares has withdrawn its application to issue a Solana staking ETF in the United States, after seven SOL ETFs reported continuous inflows of funds. The company, which manages over $10 billion in assets, continues to issue Solana-based staking ETPs in Europe. Despite CoinShares withdrawing its application, Solana's price remains strong, currently trading at $137.83, with a weekly increase of 8.32%.

On November 28, news broke that after the Balancer v2 treasury was attacked due to a major vulnerability, resulting in a loss of over $110 million in funds, Balancer DAO has begun discussing a plan to allocate approximately $8 million of recovered assets to affected LPs.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman attributed Bitcoin's recent 30% decline from its October high of $126,080 to the waning political influence of Donald Trump. He believes that Crypto Assets have become a "Trump-style trade," reliant on pro-Crypto Assets policies. After Bitcoin hit a seven-month low of $81,000 last week, it recently traded close to $90,348. Nevertheless, the prediction market still shows a 70% chance that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 rather than fall to $69,000. Krugman maintains that Bitcoin lacks fundamental utility as a currency or an inflation Hedging tool.
