😂 DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) stated that the news about the department's closure is FAKE.

📊 Analysts note a strong surge in capitulation of short-term BTC holders, such surges have usually been precursors to the formation of a short-term bottom in the market, — CryptoQuant.

🎲 On Deribit, a whale opened a huge bet on Bitcoin's rise, assembling a “call condor” with a volume of 20,000 BTC expiring on December 26.

This structure will yield maximum profit if by the end of the year the price is in the range of $100,000 – 118,000 and does not go significantly higher.

💰 Strategy stated that even if the Bitcoin price drops to $74,000, the ratio of its assets to convertible debt will remain at 5.9× — this metric is called the BTC debt rating by the company.

Even if the price falls to $25,000 per coin, the BTC rating will remain at 2.0×.

💰 A smart whale who had been inactive for three months bought 1,110 ETH at a price of $2,933 — previously he sold 15,575 ETH for $66.52 million at a price of $4,270.

He still has 67.8 million DAI, which he can use for further ETH purchases.

💰 Since the launch of trading the spot Solana ETF, there has never been a recorded outflow of funds.

💎 JPMorgan is taking active steps to push crypto companies out of the market: the giant closed corporate and personal accounts of Houston Morgan, head of ShapeShift's crypto division. A similar fate befell Jack Mallers, founder of the payment system Strike — he even framed the account closure notice, turning it into a kind of monument to the bank's actions.

Also, JPMorgan opened a short position on Strategy's shares and, according to some observers, is preparing a coordinated attack against the company.

The bank shows a clear contradiction: it refuses service to crypto firms but at the same time calls Bitcoin a "macro asset" in its reports, forecasting its rise to $240,000. This is a classic move — to discredit the asset, eliminate competitors, and take a more advantageous position in the market.

😂 Analysts have found that more than 73% of AI startups actually DO NOT create their own models, but simply use ready-made solutions — like ChatGPT, Claude, or open models with minimal modifications — presenting them as their own product.

In essence, behind loud claims of "proprietary AI" there are often just calls to third-party APIs and slightly modified models from open repositories.

💎 Tether has become the largest independent holder of gold in the world — only central banks of economically developed countries hold more.

Against this backdrop, S&P Global downgraded the stability rating of the USDT stablecoin to the lowest level, citing an increase in the share of volatile assets in the company's reserves, including bitcoin and gold 🤣

Tether sharply criticized the assessment, calling it outdated and noting that the stablecoin has never failed to redeem, processes billions daily, and generates multi-billion dollar profits.

The company also emphasizes that its assets include a huge package of US Treasury bonds and that USDT has long become an important financial infrastructure for emerging markets — far from just a speculative token.

💻 The Upbit exchange was hacked and assets worth $36,000,000 were withdrawn.

They promise to compensate users for all losses.

🎲 The volume of margin trading for BTC over the past four months has set an all-time record.
