The Italian Competition Authority has halted Meta's restrictions on WhatsApp, prohibiting companies from accessing third-party AI chatbots, citing that this move could constitute market abuse and harm competition. The European Commission is also investigating this matter, indicating that regulatory authorities are increasingly paying attention to large platforms' anti-competitive behaviors.

Since 2025, silver has increased by over 100%, and the market is generally optimistic about future trends, with analysts predicting it may hit $200. Capital flows into safe-haven assets, reflecting expectations of fiat currency devaluation, and hard assets have become an important hedging tool.

Recently, an address linked to a historic hacking case transferred 1,300 BTC to a trading platform within seven days, worth approximately $114 million, and the address still holds 4,100 BTC, totaling $360 million. This movement has attracted significant market attention, with speculation whether it is a new strategy or a liquidation.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Recently, there has been a piece of news that has attracted a lot of attention. A major Korean exchange announced that AI16Z has been listed on the trading warning list. The reason behind this is quite straightforward—the project team has been playing Tai Chi with the disclosure of important information, delaying the clarification of various issues that should be explained promptly, with insufficient transparency and questionable rationality.
For traders, the impact is that the deposit function for AI16Z has now been suspended. What will happen next? Will they extend the trading notice period, lift the restrictions directly, or completely terminate trading support—these decisions are still undecided. According to the forecast, these decisions will not be finalized until the second week of January.
This matter is also worth paying attention to because it reflects the increasing strictness of exchanges' requirements for project transparency. Although it is just a warning, it could have a tangible impact on the token's value and liquidity.

Drift Foundation proposed the DIP-9 proposal, hoping to allocate $1.5 million from monthly revenue to support the development and necessary expenses of Drift Labs, and to pre-fund $9 million to cover costs for the first half of 2026. This move aims to ensure the sustainable development of the ecosystem, with voting scheduled for December 24, 2025.

The beta version of Stakehouse is online, developed by Overtake Labs, aiming to integrate staking, trading, and referral functions to provide a unified experience for TAKE ecosystem participants. The platform is designed based on in-depth user participation, recognizing contributors through token rewards, and the flexible participation methods redefine the incentive model.

[Block Rhythm] has made another big move! Trump Media's wallet just transferred 2,000 BTC 8 hours ago, and this transaction size is indeed significant — equivalent to $174.76 million. Such large transfers always attract market attention and provide plenty of discussion topics for on-chain data enthusiasts. The key question is what the intention behind this transfer is — whether it's for liquidity adjustment or other considerations — all of which are worth tracking and observing.

[Coin World] BCH has been range-bound between $272 and $624 since July. Although it has risen 22.2% since mid-November, it has been stuck at the $624 hurdle. Strangely, the continuous influx of buy orders indicates that long-term funds remain optimistic, yet spot is being continuously dumped, and open contracts have shrunk by nearly 20%—this comparison clearly highlights the issue, as the confidence of short-term participants is clearly wavering.
The key point is: if there is no confirmed breakout, don't easily chase higher above $600. On the flip side, once the price stands above $605, the current short-term bearish pattern will be broken. This position is neither too big nor too small, but it is enough to become a watershed that changes the rhythm.

The derivation market for Cardano shows clear bullish signals, with long positions reaching as high as 69%. The launch of the new Token NIGHT has attracted significant follow, with its market capitalization reaching 1.25 billion USD and boosting trading activity. Despite the fall in ADA prices, traders remain optimistic about a reversal, believing that the bottom is near, and NIGHT's weekly rise of 39% further enhances market confidence.

Recently, a listed company submitted a temporary suspension of registration application to the SEC, intending to raise up to $1 billion. How will this money be spent? In addition to daily operations and making some acquisitions, the focus is on using it for Solana asset management.
Specifically, their strategy involves significant acquisition, holding, and staking of SOL tokens. This is not just short-term speculation, but rather incorporating SOL as part of the long-term asset allocation on the company's balance sheet. This move has placed them in a relatively niche but interesting club—those publicly traded companies that consider digital assets as a core strategy.
From a market perspective, this reflects a significant increase in the recognition of the Solana ecosystem by traditional financial institutions. When big money starts to enter the market and holds positions for the long term, it does provide some support for the development expectations of the SOL ecosystem.

Last year's Web3 security statistics showed that 248 phishing incidents caused losses exceeding 700 million dollars. Hackers used AI tools to generate phishing pages that are identical to real websites, and their attack methods are becoming increasingly precise. Traditional defense measures have failed, and users and project parties need to remain vigilant, strengthen security awareness, and provide risk warnings. The future situation is severe.

[Coin World] Large institutional holdings have taken a new turn. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, a healthcare pension fund in Canada with a scale of up to $90 billion, recently made a move by purchasing 14.8 million shares of the Bitcoin treasury concept stock Strive, spending $13 million.
What does this investment indicate? Conservative institutional finance, such as pension funds, is quietly positioning itself in Bitcoin-related assets, reflecting a gradual shift in the traditional financial sector's attitude towards the crypto ecosystem. This transition from mere observation to real investment has significant implications for the long-term trends of the market.
Especially against the backdrop of changes in the global macro environment, more and more large funds are beginning to include non-traditional assets like Bitcoin in their diversified asset allocations. Such large institutional movements are often a barometer of market sentiment.

On October 10th, the crypto market experienced a significant shock. The market capitalization evaporated by about $1.3 trillion in one go. How big is this scale? The insurance fund of a leading exchange directly lost $184 million.
The liquidation in this area is the most exaggerated. The liquidation orders on the Hyperliquid platform accounted for 53% of the total liquidation volume across the network, indicating that the risks of leveraged trading completely erupted at that moment. At the same time, Ethena's USDe stablecoin experienced a net outflow of $8.3 billion, with users withdrawing stablecoin assets on a large scale.
Subsequent impacts can better illustrate the issue. The entire market trading volume has dropped by nearly 50%, and investors are waiting and seeing. The performance of Bitcoin spot ETFs is particularly apparent—net outflows reached $5 billion, which indicates that institutional investors are systematically reducing their risk exposure. From signals such as insurance fund losses, concentrated liquidations, and capital outflows, the process of risk release in the market is still ongoing.

[Coin World] Recently saw a news that MEXC won two heavyweight awards at the 2025 BeInCrypto 100 Awards - "Best Centralized Exchange" and "Best Exchange in Latin America", which has attracted a lot of attention in the industry.
This platform now has over 40 million users, and what is most appealing behind this number is their growth rate in the Latin American market, as well as the zero-fee trading model. To be honest, in such a fiercely competitive exchange space, being recognized by professional evaluation institutions itself indicates the effort on the operational level.
Vugar Usi, the Chief Operating Officer of MEXC, mentioned when commenting on these honors that these awards are actually a recognition of the company's standardized operations and its contribution to the popularization of digital assets in the region. To some extent, it is indeed not an easy task to establish a foothold in the rapidly developing Latin American market.

[Coin World] On-chain data continues to send warning signals. The latest market analysis indicates that the current investor sentiment is synchronously reflecting the on-chain structural performance—both pointing to signals of short-term weakness in the market.
Specifically, the situation for short-term holders is not optimistic. This group usually represents the market's active sentiment, and they have now fallen into an unrealized loss state, which often indicates that selling pressure is accumulating in the market. More concerning is the change in technical aspects—those key support levels that once protected the bulls have gradually evolved into resistance levels that suppress rebounds. This shift from support to resistance typically marks a significant turn in market momentum.
Signals from multiple dimensions are converging, seemingly telling the same story: the pressure on the market is building up recently.

Ethereum occupies nearly half of the tokenization euro market, demonstrating its maturity as DeFi infrastructure and strong ecological foundation. With the rising demand for euro stablecoins and the promotion of the digital euro, Ethereum is expected to become the mainstream platform for on-chain euro circulation.
