Betting $50K due to overconfidence about $ETH

The bet started back in November 2024 regarding the possibility of ETH reaching $25,000 in 2025.

- If it does, Kyle Samani (Multicoin fund) must pay Kain Warwick (founder of Infinex & Synthetix) $500K.
- If it does not happen, Samani receives $50K from Warwick.

Despite losing the bet, Warwick remains optimistic: "$ETH has increased +50% since we placed the bet, just missing ... one more x8 for me to win". At the same time, he also lowered his 2026 target for the price of $ETH to $10,000.

The DEX project on zkSync $ZK was a scam of 39 billion dong that was dismantled.

Gemholic is the name that kicks off 2026. The Hai Phong City Police have prosecuted a group of individuals who set up this project for the crime of fraud and misappropriation of property.

From April 3-5, 2023, the Gemholic dev team launched the sale of GEMS tokens and raised 921 ETH (equivalent to 39.1 billion dong) and then ran off with investors' money.

Individuals and organizations that were harmed who purchased GEMS, transferred money via $ETH , are advised to contact the Criminal Investigation Department - Hai Phong City Police for guidance and to protect their legal rights and interests as prescribed by law.

Tom Lee: The institutional cash flow has finished the Lunar New Year holiday!

"At this time, trading is mainly influenced by bots, along with parties realizing losses to optimize taxes. This is a familiar scenario every year-end."

Yet this morning, my boss's BitMine still gathered an additional 32,938 $ETH (~$100M) and brought 118,944 $ETH (~$352M) to stake.

Though we say we're taking a break, we are still gathering, that's true AE 😂

Metaplanet is riding high on Bitcoin in Q4

"Asian Strategy" reveals it has accumulated a total of 4,279 $BTC (~$451M) this quarter at an average price of $105,412/BTC. The company is holding 35,102 $BTC (~$3.08B) and currently has a temporary loss of -18.5% on its investment.

The year 2025 is gradually coming to a close, and the global search volume for the keyword 'crypto' has hit a low of just 26 points last week, only 2 points higher than the low of the year.

Although part of this may be due to changing search behaviors as AI rises, the market sentiment index still reflects a similar picture, hovering around the 10–20 range (extremely fearful).

The crypto market is entering the final days of 2025 quite chill as $BTC primarily hovers around $87K-$88K.

The spotlight is entirely on precious metals. After gold, silver has continuously broken records and has increased by +170% since the beginning of the year. While crypto is losing momentum, Bitcoin's performance this year is at -7%.

On the macro front, President Trump and President Zelensky had a nearly 3-hour meeting in Florida. The American president noted that there have been significant advances and the results for peace in Ukraine will be clarified "in a few weeks".

Just a few hours before this meeting, President Trump had a phone call with President Putin and described the exchange as “pleasant, very effective.” Both leaders do not support a temporary ceasefire as this would only prolong the crisis and increase the risk of renewed fighting.

China has launched its first digital yuan payment in Laos

The Bank of China has conducted the first cross-border QR payment transaction with Laos, through the digital yuan wallet (e-CNY). This activity is part of a project to build infrastructure for digital currency cooperation between the central banks of the two countries.

Chinese tourists do not need to exchange foreign currency, just open the e-CNY app and scan the QR code to make payments. Meanwhile, Laotian merchants do not need to upgrade their equipment; they can still use the existing infrastructure and receive money automatically and legally.

Tensions between El Salvador and the IMF cool down

In the latest statement, the IMF no longer reiterated its recommendation to stop accumulating Bitcoin. Last November, President Bukele even boasted about accumulating an additional 1,000 $BTC , raising the total holdings to 7,500 $BTC (~$660M).

The IMF also assesses that El Salvador's economy is growing better than expected due to improved confidence and record remittances. GDP is projected to increase by about 4%, and 2026 is expected to be very positive.

Both sides are continuing negotiations to agree on necessary policies and reforms, aiming to complete the second review of the $3.5 billion long-term loan package.

Really? Good news comes but the price drops - Mr. Trump expresses frustration

"Today's financial news is fantastic - GDP rose by 4.2% compared to the predicted 2.5%.

In the past, when there was good news, the market would rise. Now, with good news, the market drops instead, because everyone thinks interest rates will be increased immediately to deal with the risk of inflation."

He warns those who disagree not to dream of running the Fed. President Trump wants the new Fed chairman to lower interest rates when the economy rises, bringing the market back to its normal trajectory: rising with good news and falling with bad news.

Initial estimates indicate that Q3 GDP 🇺🇸 reached 4.3%, exceeding the forecast of 3.2% and the highest in 2 years since Q3/2023. The data was published more than a month and a half late due to the U.S. government shutdown, so it is now somewhat outdated.

Q3 growth is stronger than expected mainly due to robust consumer spending. However, this momentum is showing signs of slowing down as living costs rise and the impact from the recent government shutdown.

Regarding the upcoming Q4 GDP, the Budget Office estimates that the government shutdown could reduce the figures by 1–2%, with approximately 7–14 billion USD in losses considered unrecoverable.
