Crypto Mining Plan at Nuclear Power Plant Becomes a Flashpoint in Russia–Ukraine Peace Talks
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the United States is interested in using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant for crypto mining as part of peace negotiations. The plant, Europe’s largest nuclear facility, is located in Ukraine but has been under Russian control since 2022.
Russia has proposed a joint management model with the U.S., excluding Ukraine, allowing Moscow to retain control while the U.S. gains an economic role. The U.S. is reportedly considering a three-party framework involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. Meanwhile, Ukraine has suggested a 50/50 partnership with the U.S., in which Ukraine would receive half of the electricity output, while the U.S. would decide how the remaining power is allocated, potentially including Russia.
Because control of the plant is critical to southern Ukraine’s power supply, regional grid stability, and nuclear security, it remains a key issue in the peace talks. With no agreement reached so far, the crypto mining plan remains highly uncertain. $BTC #Bitcoinmining
Bitmain aggressively slashing Bitcoin ASIC prices to clear inventory amid brutal mining conditions end of 2025.
With $BTC ~$88k, network hashrate at record ~1.05-1.1 EH/s, and hashprice stuck below $38/PH/s/day (multi-year lows), miners are squeezed hard → demand for new rigs tanks.
Key cuts: - Legacy Hydro S19 XP series: as low as $3-4/TH (e.g., S19e XP Hydro $3/TH, S19 XP+ $4/TH) - Current-gen: S21 Immersion ~$7/TH, S21+ Hydro ~$8/TH (pre-coupons) - S19k Pro air-cooled auction starting $5.5/TH
A Hyperliquid whale with $744M+ in long positions on $ETH , $BTC , and $SOL is currently sitting on over $53M in unrealized losses amid a sharp market correction.
Gold Hits New All-Time High — BRICS Just Changed the Game
Gold has surged past $4,520, peaking at $4,549.88, marking a fresh ATH and over 70% gain in 2025. Now consolidating between $4,473–$4,509.
🔥 Catalyst: BRICS nations boosted gold reserves >6,000 tonnes and launched “Unit”, a gold-backed blockchain settlement system (40% backed) — a major step in de-dollarization.
XRP is consolidating around $1.85, trading in a tight $1.85–$1.91 range despite heavy institutional interest.
📊 ETF Inflows Are Strong Spot XRP ETFs have recorded 33 straight days of net inflows, totaling $1.14B+ since mid-November — one of the strongest ETF launches in crypto.
⚖️ Why Institutions Are Buying Regulatory clarity after the SEC case confirmed XRP’s non-security status on public exchanges, unlocking institutional demand.
🐋 But Whales Are Selling Futures data shows whale shorts ($87M) far outweigh longs ($34M), capping upside for now.
📉 Technicals = Indecision • RSI: Neutral (~45) • MACD: Bearish ➡️ Market is balanced, not trending.
🎯 Key Levels Support: $1.80–$1.81 Resistance: $2.00, then $2.20
🧠 Takeaway: Institutions are accumulating, whales are hedging. Until $2.00–$2.20 breaks, range trading > trend chasing.
Silver prices are exploding, with Shanghai nearing $80/oz. This move isn’t random — it’s driven by China’s new export restrictions + a tight global supply.
🇨🇳 China will impose licenses + export quotas on silver starting Jan 1, 2026, tightening a market already in its 5th straight supply deficit (~125M oz).
Pre-buying is already visible: ➡️ China’s silver export value jumped +141% YoY in Oct 2025 as buyers rushed inventory.
📊 Technicals: • MACD: Strongly bullish • RSI: 80–82 (overbought) ➡️ Trend is up, but near-term pullback risk is high.
Bitcoin is consolidating around $87,472 after a holiday dip. Price is stuck in a tight $86K–$89K range as liquidity thins. This isn’t trend resolution — it’s compression. 2 📊 Market Mood: Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 27 (Fear). Traders are anxious, largely due to ETF outflows and year-end positioning. 3 💸 ETF Pressure (Short-Term) Over $825M has flowed out of U.S. spot BTC ETFs in 5 days. Most of this is seasonal tax-loss harvesting, not long-term conviction selling.
🐋 Smart Money Is Bearish Whale long/short ratio: 0.24 👉 Shorts outnumber longs by more than 2x Big players are positioned defensively, likely expecting volatility.
📉 Technicals Are Mixed MACD: Negative momentum (bearish short-term) RSI: Neutral (~47) ➡️ Market has room to move — direction not confirmed yet.
RateX is the world's first leveraged yield trading protocol and universal structured finance layer in DeFi, pioneering innovative ways to trade, leverage, and optimize yields on blockchain assets.
Its core Unique Selling Points (USPs) include: - World's First Leveraged Yield Exchange: Unlike traditional yield platforms (e.g., Pendle), RateX enables trading Yield Tokens (YT) with up to 10x leverage, allowing capital-efficient speculation on APY fluctuations, hedging, or amplified exposure—requiring only 10-20% of capital compared to competitors. - Yield Tokenization & Splitting: Separates yield-bearing assets (e.g., mSOL, JitoSOL) into Yield Tokens (YT—volatile with APY changes) and Principal Tokens (PT/ST—stable principal), making yields tradable and enabling fixed yield locking. - Multi-Chain & Permissionless Innovation: Operates on Solana and BNB Chain, with sub-protocol Mooncake offering the world's first permissionless leveraged token market—no liquidation risk for certain products. - Advanced Liquidity Mechanism: Time-decaying AMM (inspired by Uniswap V3) minimizes impermanent loss; LPs earn from underlying yields, trading fees, funding fees, and counterparty PnL. - Versatile Strategies: Leverage yield positions, earn fixed yields (convert floating to fixed), provide liquidity for steady returns, or gain amplified token price exposure.
Backed by Binance Labs and Solana Foundation, RateX stands out as the most efficient, innovative yield trading platform, transforming DeFi structured finance. (798 characters)
Trust Wallet exploited over Christmas, ~$7 million stolen, suspected insider involvement
🔷 The Trust Wallet browser extension v2.68 was compromised with a backdoor, mainly affecting desktop users. Trust Wallet recommends updating to v2.89 immediately.
🔷 Changpeng Zhao (CZ) – co-founder of Binance (which owns Trust Wallet) confirmed that Binance will fully compensate all losses.
🔷 According to SlowMist, the attacker prepared since Dec 8, planted the backdoor on Dec 22, and drained funds on Christmas Day. The malware also collected personal data and sent it to the attacker’s server.
🔷 ZachXBT reported that hundreds of users were affected. Several experts (including Anndy Lian) and CZ believe this was likely an insider attack, as the attacker was able to push a malicious extension version onto the official website.
🔷 Chainalysis noted that excluding the $1.4B Bybit hack, personal wallet exploits accounted for 37% of total stolen value in 2025, highlighting rising risks for individual users.
➡️ Recommendation: Trust Wallet users should update immediately, scan their computers for malware, and follow official compensation announcements from Binance/Trust Wallet. #TrustWalletHack
🔥 Prediction Markets take off in 2025: When billion-dollar checks pour into forecasting markets
Among the top 10 largest investment deals this year, Prediction Markets have taken center stage, led by the explosive rise of Polymarket and Kalshi.
