A certain PIPPIN diamond holder chose to sell after holding for over a year, earning a profit of 4066%.

BlockBeats News, on December 1, according to monitoring by Lookonchain, the PIPPIN diamond hand address starting with 2Gc2Xg has just sold all of his 24.8 million PIPPIN tokens (worth $3.74 million), which he had held for over a year, locking in a profit of $3.65 million (+4066%).

A year ago, he spent 450 SOL (worth $90,000) to purchase these 24.8 million PIPPIN tokens.

On January 11, his profit was about $7.6 million, but he did not sell at that time, and PIPPIN's market cap subsequently fell below $10 million.

With the recent price rebound, he finally chose to exit, selling all 24.8 million PIPPIN tokens for 29,527 SOL (worth $3.74 million), thus avoiding missing another cash-out opportunity.

PIPPIN Defies the Market, Turning $180,000 Into Over $1.5 Million for a Trader

While the broader crypto market flashed red in early December, a Solana-based meme coin called PIPPIN delivered a remarkable countertrend rally.

Its rapid price surge enabled several traders to achieve massive short-term profits. However, it also raised concerns about a potential sharp correction that could hurt latecomers.

How One Trader Made More Than $1.3 Million With PIPPIN

PIPPIN originated from an AI-generated unicorn image (SVG). It later evolved into a meme coin on Solana.

Unlike many other meme tokens, the project’s developers promised to release open-source tools with potential applications for PIPPIN, including interactive tutoring systems, AI marketing assistants, and personality-driven DevOps bots capable of writing and deploying code.

Despite its high-risk meme-coin nature, PIPPIN has become one of the most talked-about names in Solana’s meme wave at the end of 2025.

CZ says ‘Buy Fear, Sell Greed’—Crypto X says ‘Yeah, sure, buddy’

In a weekend post on X, Zhao—better known as CZ—declared that the smartest money in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is made by selling when the market is foaming at the mouth and buying when everyone else is panic-refreshing their portfolio apps.

“Unpopular opinion, but it’s better to sell when there is maximum greed, and buy when there is maximum fear,” CZ wrote, prompting a collective eyebrow raise from Crypto Twitter.

It’s a bold sentiment to drop amid Bitcoin’s recent emotional whiplash. The Fear & Greed Index has been swinging between extremes like a caffeinated metronome, with greed spiking during short-lived rallies and fear surging just as dramatically during pullbacks.

Some traders agreed with CZ, framing his advice as a reminder to keep feelings out of the equation—an aspirational stance in a market where emotions often run the show. But others were quick to point out that the trading doctrine doesn’t match his usual public messaging.

XRP goes into ETF mode: Less on exchanges, altering market dynamics

XRP balances on major cryptocurrency exchanges have declined sharply in recent weeks, a shift analysts attribute to the growing influence of newly launched spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) rather than traditional accumulation by long-term holders.

XRP balances on major exchanges like Binance, Upbit, and Kraken have dropped as spot XRP ETFs absorb large amounts into custodial wallets.

Reduced exchange liquidity means smaller trades now trigger sharper intraday price swings, though ETF-driven arbitrage provides structural stability.

Long-term outlook for XRP strengthens, but traders should brace for increased short-term volatility amid lower on-exchange spot volume.

Bitcoin price suffered a harsh reversal on Monday, wiping out some of the gains made last week when it soared to $93,000. 

Bitcoin token dived to $84,880, triggering a broader crypto market crash that affected most altcoins. The market capitalization of all coins dropped by ~8% to $2.9 trillion. 

One potential reason why Bitcoin price crashed is a sudden flip by the Bank of Japan. In a statement, Kazuo Ueda, the bank’s governor, said that the bank will consider the pros and cons of raising by examining the economy, inflation, and the financial market at home and abroad. 

As a result, the Japanese yen rebounded, while government bond yields rose, with the 10-year hitting a multi-decade high of 1.876%. The Nikkei 225 and Topix indices dipped. 

Japan to Cut Crypto Tax Burden to 20% Uniform Rate in Boost for Local Bitcoin Traders

Japan plans to implement a flat 20% tax on cryptocurrency gains, aligning them with equities and investment trusts.

The proposed tax change, supported by the government, will categorize crypto profits under a separate-taxation framework.

Currently, crypto gains in Japan are subject to progressive taxation, which can reach up to 55%, discouraging domestic trading.

389,999,999,999 Shiba Inu (SHIB) Suddenly Withdrawn From Major Korean Exchange, Destination Unclear

Trump's AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks criticizes The New York Times for falling victim to sensationalism

The Trump appointee recently went off on X in response to an article that alleged he still has conflicting interests because of his background as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. 

NYT article triggers Sacks

The New York Times recently shared a report detailing how Sacks’ government advisory role could benefit him and those around him, and Sacks was not impressed. 

In a post on X, Sacks claimed that despite having “debunked in detail” several similar allegations from the Times over the past five months, the outlet has continued to talk about his supposed conflicts of interest.

According to Sacks, the accusations have ranged from a fabricated dinner with a leading tech CEO to nonexistent promises of access to the President, and baseless claims of influencing defense contracts, a fact they often gloss over in their reporting. 

“Every time we would prove an accusation false, NYT pivoted to the next allegation. This is why the story has dragged on for five months,” Sacks wrote. “Today they evidently just threw up their hands and published this nothing burger. Anyone who reads the story carefully can see that they strung together a bunch of anecdotes that don’t support the headline. And of course, that was the whole point.” 

The NYT has drawn attention to Sacks’ history as a co-founder and partner at the venture firm Craft Ventures, and his special government employee role at the White House. 

China Reaffirms Its Crypto Ban

On November 28, the People’s Bank of China (PBC) gathered 13 government agencies to reiterate the ban on cryptocurrencies and stablecoins . Since 2021, these assets have been considered illegal, lacking legal status equivalent to fiat currency. The meeting aimed to strengthen the fight against speculation, money laundering, and illegal capital transfers.

Crypto Sector Hit Hard in November: $127M Lost to Security Breaches and Fraud

The month of November delivered yet another blow to the crypto sector. Beyond the broad market slump, the industry was hit hard by a wave of intrusions, contract breakdowns, and fraudulent activity. These incidents affected both users and companies, resulting in total losses of about $127 million after frozen and recovered funds were taken into account.

Economic analyst Timothy Peterson says Bitcoin’s current trend is highly similar to the 2022 bear market. On both daily and monthly charts, BTC’s 2024 correlation with 2022 is 80% and 98%, respectively. If history repeats, the real recovery may not come until Q1 next year.

Spot silver broke above $57 per oz for the first time in history, rising 1.34% intraday.
