BITCOIN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY “GREEN” — MINING IS DRIVING CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCING EMISSIONS
🔸 According to ESG expert Daniel Batten, more than 56% of Bitcoin mining now uses clean energy, up sharply from around 34% in 2021. 🔸 This shows that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly “green.” Beyond consuming clean electricity, Bitcoin mining is also helping to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. 🔸 Mining operations can purchase power directly from wind and solar projects before they are fully connected to the grid, allowing investors to recover capital faster and incentivizing the expansion of green energy capacity. 🔸 In addition, waste heat from Bitcoin mining can be reused to heat homes, greenhouses, and residential areas, replacing fossil fuels. Some projects even use Bitcoin mining to capture and utilize flared methane gas, thereby reducing harmful emissions.
PS: Elon Musk previously stated that Tesla would resume accepting Bitcoin payments if more than 50% of Bitcoin mining used clean energy. While in reality very few people use Bitcoin to buy cars—due to tax complications and because many view Bitcoin as a long-term appreciating asset—such a move would carry significant symbolic meaning if it were to happen. #BTC $BTC
UPDATE: Ethereum’s staking landscape just flipped — the withdrawal queue has dropped to zero for the first time since July 2025, while the staking entry queue surged past 1.46M ETH (~$4.6B), marking its highest level since November 2025. $ETH #ETH
Tom Lee believes $BTC could reach $250,000 by 2026 if the traditional four-year cycle is broken.
He points to several positive catalysts taking shape, including the October 10 liquidation event that flushed out excess leverage, continued institutional inflows from the U.S., the historical pattern where gold tends to rise first before Bitcoin follows, and the fact that crypto adoption remains relatively low, leaving significant room for growth. #BTC
Tether announced that it purchased an additional 8,888.8888 Bitcoin in Q4 2025, according to a post shared by CEO Paolo Ardoino on X.
This marks the third time in 2025 that Tether has disclosed buying exactly 8,888 BTC, following similar purchases in Q1 and Q3. This pattern suggests that Tether may be pursuing a highly consistent, periodic Bitcoin accumulation strategy. #BTC $BTC
📊 Institutional ETF Capital Flows for #Bitcoin and #Ethereum in 2025
🟢 According to CryptoRank, despite mixed market conditions this year, $BTC and $ETH ETFs have generally followed the same capital flow cycle. 🟢 Institutions deployed capital aggressively when the macro environment was clear and risk appetite was high, helping drive price appreciation and channel funds into sectors such as payments and RWA. 🟢 However, as macro conditions became more uncertain, buying pressure gradually weakened and capital flows shifted from inflows to outflows. This shows that institutional crypto exposure remains largely risk-on, closely tied to global financial conditions, rather than a stable long-term allocation. 🟢 Looking ahead to 2026, if macro conditions stabilize, the Fed begins a rate-cutting cycle, and regulatory frameworks become clearer, capital flows into major crypto assets are likely to become more stable and less driven by sensational news. #Market_Update
🪙 The supply of $XRP on exchanges has dropped to a 7-year low, now at just 1.6 billion tokens, down sharply from 3.76 billion tokens in October.
🟢 If you look closely, you’ll notice that from $BTC and $ETH to $XRP , coins are consistently being withdrawn from exchanges, and all of them are now at record-low levels. #xrp
$ETH Ethereum is entering a unique phase. The Layer 1 network recently recorded over 2.2 million transactions in a single day, an all-time high, while the average transaction fee was around $0.17 — dramatically lower than in 2022, when fees at times exceeded $200 per transaction.
This shift is largely driven by 2025 network upgrades, which significantly increased throughput while reducing costs. As a result, users are beginning to return to the Ethereum mainnet, instead of relying as heavily on Layer 2 solutions.
Not only users, but developers are also coming back. The number of newly deployed smart contracts has reached record highs, signaling that Ethereum is increasingly being chosen as the core infrastructure for payments and on-chain applications. #ETH

The market is experiencing low liquidity in the final trading week of 2025, but positive signals are starting to emerge 🔥
Bitcoin is trading around the $85k–$90k range, reflecting market indecision.
Positive macro signals are appearing as inflation continues to ease, and buying activity around the $85k level is turning this zone into a key support.
In the first week of 2026, two important macro events to watch are Non-Farm Payrolls and the December FOMC meeting minutes.
From a medium-term perspective, signals are turning positive — but what about the short term? $BTC $ETH #market
🟢 According to CryptoRank, in 2021 DeFi TVL was spread across DEXs, CDPs, and yield farming, reflecting high on-chain activity and frequent user interactions. 🟢 By 2025, TVL has become heavily concentrated in lending, staking, and restaking, where capital can remain idle while still generating yield with minimal user activity. 🟢 Major protocols such as $AAVE, $LDO, and restaking platforms now control a large share of total market TVL. 🟢 This suggests TVL growth is driven less by new users and more by capital recycling and optimization. 🟢 Lending inflates TVL because the same capital can be reused multiple times. 🟢 Restaking extracts additional yield from already-staked assets without requiring fresh capital inflows.
✨ Conclusion: DeFi TVL today says more about how capital is utilized than about how many users DeFi actually has.
🔹 SharpLink is currently earning an average of 500 $ETH per week from staking on Ethereum. 🟢 By the end of 2025, SharpLink remains the second-largest corporate holder of ETH globally, behind only Bitmine. 🟢 As of now, the company holds a total of 859,853 ETH, worth approximately $2.6 billion, with an average cost basis of around $3,600 per ETH. #ETH
Metaplanet has acquired an additional 4,279 Bitcoin for approximately $451 million, bringing its total holdings to 35,102 BTC.
The company’s shares ended the year up around 8%, closing at roughly 405 yen.
Its Bitcoin yield strategy, which uses derivatives to generate recurring cash flow, is expected to produce about $55 million in income in 2025. #bitcoin $BTC
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE AI COMPANIES ARE A BUBBLE?
🔹 Money circulating in a loop Chip spending → chip revenues rise → valuations increase → new funding → investment into AI companies → repeat. As a result, much of the capital circulates within the AI ecosystem, with limited contribution from end users so far. 🔹 Why it’s seen as a potential bubble — Valuations are rising faster than real profits — Massive spending based on future expectations — Many AI companies are both customers and partners of each other — Heavy upfront infrastructure burn, revenues come later 🔹 But the spending is real — Real chips — Real data centers — Real models — Real businesses already using AI 🔹 Main risk Building too much, too early. 🔹 Warning signs to watch — Revenue growth slows while spending keeps rising — Underutilized or excess data center capacity — Declining chip demand — Companies begin cutting AI budgets
👀 Bitmine Begins Staking After Its ETH Treasury Surpasses 4 Million ETH
🟢 Bitmine has recently started staking $ETH after depositing nearly $219 million worth of ETH into Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake system. 🟢 According to on-chain data from Arkham, multiple wallets linked to Bitmine sent 74,880 ETH to the BatchDeposit contract — a structure commonly used for large-scale, institutional staking (pooling funds before spinning up validators). 🟢 On-chain analyst EmberCN noted that this marks Bitmine’s first time staking ETH. Bitmine currently holds around 4.066 million ETH. At an estimated ~3.12% APY, if the entire amount were staked, Bitmine could earn approximately 126,800 ETH per year, equivalent to about $371 million at current prices. #Bitmine #ETH
