Aave (AAVE) has recently faced significant price pressure. On December 22, a whale sell-off of up to $37.6 million triggered severe fluctuations in the market, causing AAVE to drop rapidly in a short time, with the price temporarily falling to around $161.70, close to the key support range that has been tested multiple times this month.
On-chain data shows that this dumping mainly comes from address 0xa923. The wallet sold approximately 230,350 AAVE in one go and exchanged it for stETH and WBTC, quickly amplifying the selling pressure in the spot market. It is worth noting that despite the huge transaction amount, the address still recorded a loss of about 13.8 million dollars, indicating that this behavior resembles more of a passive stop-loss or liquidity pressure release rather than a planned asset rotation.

Audiera (BEAT) has shown a significant strengthening in its recent performance, with the price rising approximately 30% in a short period, notably increasing market attention. As the rise expands, BEAT has approached a key resistance area, which will determine whether the short-term trend continues to rise or experiences a technical pullback, becoming the current focal point of the Bull vs Bear Battle.

Golden Finance reported that F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated in a post on the X platform that he agrees with Blockstream CEO Adam Back's view that the market exaggerates the potential threat of Quantum Computing to Bitcoin, and he expressed that Quantum Computing is a "bubble" that will not break the secp256k1 Algorithm in the short term to affect Bitcoin.

Recently, the price movement of Bitcoin has noticeably intensified in fluctuation. BTC experienced a brief rebound after a rapid dip, but the overall strength of the rebound is relatively weak, and market sentiment remains cautious. One of the key variables currently influencing the price movement is the behavioral changes of Bitcoin long-term holders.
On-chain data shows that the profitability of Bitcoin long-term holders is significantly declining. In the past few days, the selling activity of long-term holders has increased, and their 30-day supply change metric has dropped to its lowest level in nearly 20 months. A similar situation last occurred in April 2024, when the market was also under significant selling pressure. This signal indicates that some long-term holders are actively reducing their positions to lock in remaining profits and avoid potential risks.

Billionaire investor and founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, recently expressed a cautious attitude towards the role of Bitcoin in the global financial system. He pointed out that although Bitcoin has scarcity and certain "monetary properties," it is not suitable as an official reserve asset from the perspective of Central Bank asset allocation and reserve management.
In a recent interview, Dalio described Bitcoin as a "spiritual currency." He acknowledged that Bitcoin has a fixed supply, is decentralized, and is widely regarded as a digital currency, but these features are not enough for Central Banks to include it on their balance sheets. Dalio believes that Central Banks are more concerned with the security, stability, and controllability of assets, which are precisely the shortcomings of Bitcoin.

2025 is widely regarded as the "year of tokenization stocks." Although the overall market size is still in the early stages, the growth rate has far surpassed that of other tokenized assets, making it one of the most outstanding segments in blockchain finance. As more and more traditional financial assets go on-chain, tokenized stocks are reshaping the landscape of on-chain capital markets.
Data shows that since 2025, the market value of tokenized stocks has increased by as much as 2695%, significantly outpacing tokenized commodities (about 225%) and tokenized funds (about 148%). Even for larger stablecoins, the increase during the same period was only 49%. This comparison highlights that tokenized stocks are becoming the most explosive asset type. According to statistics from Token Terminal, issuers such as Backed, Ondo Finance, Dinari, and Robinhood are the core forces driving this round of growth.

Driven by strong investor demand, the native token NIGHT of the Cardano ecosystem project Midnight has recently strengthened continuously, with its price soaring nearly 50% at one point, reaching a new all-time high. As a privacy computing project associated with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, Midnight is becoming the focus of market attention, with its token performance significantly outperforming the market.
From a funding perspective, the rise of NIGHT is not driven by short-term sentiment. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator has consistently remained above the zero axis, indicating a net inflow of funds. Although the indicator has slightly retreated in the past 48 hours, there are no obvious signs of significant capital outflow, suggesting that investor confidence remains solid. This structural buying provides support for NIGHT to operate at high levels.

Recently, the data from the Solana network has attracted significant attention from the market. The data shows that Solana's network activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 has dropped by about 97% from its peak, with the SOL price also falling sharply, sparking a new round of discussions among investors about whether "Solana has reached its end." By the end of 2024, Solana's monthly active transaction volume once exceeded 30 million, but entering 2025, this number has fallen below 1 million, with on-chain activity experiencing a cliff-like decline.
Despite the overall crypto market facing pressure in 2025, with Bitcoin prices retracting over 30%, the decline of Solana is even more pronounced. Analysts point out that Solana's high dependence on meme coin activities has subjected it to greater volatility pressure during the market cooling phase.

Core Foundation announced the 2026 roadmap, with the core objective of "Revenue-Driven CORE Buyback." It will transform Bitcoin activities into sustainable income by expanding modules such as Bitcoin staking returns, emphasizing income realization to drop token inflation dependency.

Recently, numerous unverified rumors have sparked heated discussions in the Crypto Assets community, focusing on Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu. Posts circulating on social platform X suggest that Jihan Wu may face fines of up to several billion dollars, the risk of detention, and even a complete fallout with another co-founder, Micree Zhan. The statements related to this matter are contradictory, and insiders in the Crypto Assets circle are trying to verify this event, which is seen as a major crisis in the industry.
As a leading enterprise in global Bitcoin mining hardware, Bitmain's mining machines support over seventy percent of Bitcoin's hashing power, while also providing chips for AI data centers running Nvidia's H100. Today, this core infrastructure company stands at the intersection of geopolitical tensions, legal scrutiny, and internal corporate governance conflicts.

According to Odaily, the leading decentralized finance lending protocol Aave has entered a period of governance turbulence, triggering internal debate, market volatility, and a major whale sell-off that has drawn attention across the DeFi sector.
The controversy originated from a recent operational change by Aave Labs, which altered the routing of swap transactions on Aave’s front end. The protocol shifted from ParaSwap to Cow Swap, a move that effectively redirected a portion of swap-rel

As the traditional "Christmas rally" on Wall Street approaches, the attention of the Chinese Crypto Twitter community towards the year-end market has noticeably intensified. Unlike viewing it as a seasonal routine, an increasing number of opinion leaders in the Chinese crypto circle believe that the market performance in the last few trading days of 2025 could become an important signal for judging the overall direction of Crypto Assets and risk assets in 2026.
In the Chinese crypto community, the macro analyst Phyrex, who is frequently cited, pointed out that "the Christmas rally is not simply a seasonal statistical phenomenon, but more like a thermometer for market risk appetite." He believes that if Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other risk assets can still rise during the period from Christmas to New Year without any new macro positive catalysts, it indicates that there is still a willingness to allocate funds to risk assets, which will lay the emotional foundation for the market in 2026. Conversely, if the rebound fails, it means that the risk appetite has not yet recovered, and the market may maintain a volatile or weak pattern for January or even longer.

Odaily News SolanaFloor stated on the X platform that even though the activity level of the Meme coin market has significantly cooled down, Pump.fun's revenue has still continued to lead all Solana applications in the past 30 days.

Canary Capital has officially made significant revisions to its SUI ETF application submitted to the SEC, taking a key step closer to launching the first U.S. Spot ETF tracking SUI prices. The latest documents reveal the fund's name, management fee rate, stock code, and exchange information, raising high market attention on the approval prospects of the SUI ETF.
According to the latest submitted second amendment document before the S-1 became effective, Canary Capital has adjusted the fund's name to "Staked SUI ETF" to highlight the ETF's core positioning of seeking additional returns while gaining price exposure through participation in the SUI staking mechanism. The document shows that the ETF will stake SUI tokens through one or more staking service providers in the future, but the specific staking fees have not yet been disclosed.

The Bank of Japan recently announced an increase in the benchmark interest rate to the highest level in nearly 30 years, but the market response was unexpected. After the announcement of the interest rate hike, the yen not only failed to strengthen but also experienced a rapid depreciation, reaching new local lows against the US dollar, euro, and Swiss franc. This trend forced the Japanese government to urgently state that it would take "appropriate measures" to address the excessive and one-sided fluctuations in the forex market.
Data shows that the USD/JPY once rose to around 157.67, while the EUR/JPY and CHF/JPY respectively reached 184.90 and 198.08. Officials from the Japanese Ministry of Finance warned that if the USD/JPY further approaches the 160 level, the likelihood of official intervention will significantly increase. The yen continues to weaken, which has clearly deviated from the original intention of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike policy aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate.

Ethereum's price has recently oscillated around the $3000 mark, with multiple attempts to break through this key psychological level failing to succeed. As of now, the ETH trading price is slightly below $3000, indicating that market sentiment remains cautious amid macro uncertainty and technical resistance. Despite the constraints on price movement, on-chain data shows that investor interest in Ethereum is clearly heating up.
From on-chain data, the number of new Ethereum holders is continuing to grow. Currently, the network averages about 163,000 new addresses daily, significantly higher than the average of about 124,000 per day in July. It is worth noting that July was once considered a peak phase for the growth of the Ethereum network, and now the number of new addresses has reached a new high, the highest level in nearly five months. This change indicates that, despite the short-term weakness in ETH price performance, the market still maintains strong interest in the medium to long-term value of Ethereum.

DOGE has weakened slightly in the past 24 hours, with its price falling below the support level around $0.129, indicating a significant deterioration in the short-term technical structure. Although the daily decline is limited, the trading volume has significantly increased, suggesting that this downward movement is not due to a lack of liquidity but rather a result of active selling pressure.
Market data shows that DOGE fell from $0.1309 to around $0.1305 during the period of December 22, with an intraday volatility of approximately 4%. In the early trading phase, the price briefly rebounded to $0.134, but this area quickly attracted selling pressure, confirming it as a significant short-term resistance level. As the sell-off continued, the price of DOGE gradually moved downwards and eventually broke below the lower edge of the range that had been maintained for several days.
