💰 AntPool agrees to refund record $3 million Bitcoin transaction fee
Bitcoin mining pool AntPool has agreed to refund the record-breaking $3 million transaction fee it mined last week, pending owner verification. AntPool wrote in the announcement. “The risk control system of AntPool temporarily froze the fee when packaging the transaction. Please contact us before 00:00 (UTC+8) on December 10, 2023 and verify personal identity. After verification, AntPool will refund the fee.” AntPool requested the original owner of the funds to prepare a signing tool, such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core — the most widely used software implementation of the Bitcoin protocol — using the private key of the address that sent the transaction to sign the message “AntPool”, then send the signed text to its support email address. The transaction was mined by AntPool in block 818,087 but it had not publicly commented on the matter until now. The previous record $500,000 fee paid in September was subsequently identified as a “fat finger” overpayment by the crypto services provider Paxos. F2Pool, the miner facilitating that transaction, agreed to reimburse the fee to Paxos.

Talos and Uniswap Forge Landmark Deal to Boost DeFi Access for Institutions ♾
📌 Talos – a digital trading infrastructure provider – has teamed up with Uniswap and Fireblocks to connect institutional traders to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
➡️ Per a press release from Uniswap on Thursday, Talos’s clients will be able to use the protocol’s trading APIs to access trading for thousands of tokens with their familiar Talos order book format.

⚠️ The integration will allow Talos’s strategies to seamlessly interact with both centralized and decentralized liquidity venues and help achieve best execution.
📌 Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos, stated:
💬 “At the cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem, Uniswap has the breadth of assets and depth of liquidity that institutional traders need… Together, we share a vision of making digital assets more accessible in a financial marketplace that’s more open.”
✅ Uniswap is the world’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX) and liquidity venue, currently boasting $3.6 billion in TVL, according to DeFiLlama.

💰 Bitcoin long futures open interest held by asset managers hits all-time high
The open interest in bitcoin long futures held by asset managers on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), has reached an all-time high. The current value of the contracts held by asset managers eclipsed the former all-time high. When bitcoin's price reached an all-time high in November 2021 of $68,000, the CME bitcoin long futures open interest held by asset managers at the time went only as high as $1.67 billion. The uptick in open futures contracts suggests asset managers are anticipating bitcoin price appreciation by the time the current contracts expire on the last Friday of December. The open interest from hedge funds going long on bitcoin futures on the CME is also at a high point. Currently, there's $680 million of open interest from hedge funds going long, which remains below the all-time high of $960 million. That said, hedge funds are also responsible for the majority of open interest for short positions for bitcoin futures on the CME. Such hedge funds are responsible for more than $2 billion of open interest in this direction.

💰 Bitcoin ETFs: A Quiet Prelude with the Promise of Trillion-Dollar Transformations Ahead! 💹
As spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) prepare to make their debut, the initial impact on Bitcoin (BTC) may not make waves, but VanEck adviser Gabor Gurbacs envisions a future where these ETFs could become the catalysts for trillions of dollars flooding into the cryptocurrency sector. 🌐
📉 Setting Realistic Expectations: Gurbacs Forecasts a Modest Kickstart for Bitcoin ETFs!
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) dated January 1, Gabor Gurbacs introduces a measured perspective on the "initial impact" of Bitcoin ETFs. His estimate suggests a conservative net inflow of approximately $100 million, mainly sourced from "mostly recycled" funds from significant institutional investors during the launch. 🤔💼
📅 Taking Cues from History: Unpacking the Gold ETF Launch!
Reflecting on historical patterns, Gurbacs refers to the launch of the first gold ETF by State Street on November 18, 2004. Over the subsequent eight years, the price of gold surged from $400 to $1,800, experiencing a remarkable quadrupling. This surge propelled the total market capitalization of gold from $2 trillion to an impressive $10 trillion within the same period. 📈💰
💡 Marathon Mindset: Bitcoin ETFs Geared for Prolonged Growth!
Despite the subdued initial impact, Gurbacs sketches a narrative of sustained growth for Bitcoin ETFs. Comparing this trajectory to the gold market, he hints at the potential for these ETFs to attract trillions of dollars over time, positioning the cryptocurrency sector for substantial and enduring growth in the years ahead. 🌟📈

💰 Bitcoin ‘sodlers’ dump $4B in two days as BTC sales hit 18-month high
Bitcoin speculators panic sold as the BTC price corrected toward $40,000, the latest on-chain data suggests. Figures from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode show short-term holders (STHs) offloading more than $2 billion in BTC on Dec. 12 alone. Bitcoin saw its biggest single-day drop of 2023 this week — one which at one point totaled 8.1%, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirms. Reacting, the more speculative subsection of the Bitcoin investor base followed in step, reducing their exposure in what appears to be a bout of cold feet on the market outlook. Glassnode reveals that STHs, which constitute entities holding BTC for 155 days or less, sent $1.93 billion worth of coins to exchanges on Dec. 11, followed by another $2.08 billion the day after. The last time single-day selling passed the $2 billion mark was in June 2022 — a reaction to the impending collapse of blockchain firm Celsius. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 12, James Van Straten, research and data analyst at crypto insights firm CryptoSlate, noted the significance of the week’s STH movements.

🔚 As the sun sets one last time this 2023, let's welcome the dawn of a new era 🌅
One more fair, abundant, and open for those brave yet humble enough to allow themselves to it.
Many say "Study Bitcoin" without explaining themselves, and I won't be doing that either, because doing so would be unfair to Bitcoin.
As such, I will refer any and all of the readers to some of the books I consider to be the best for anyone looking to understand Bitcoin – in no particular order here they are:
- The Bitcoin Standard
- The Fiat Standard
- Broken Money
- Mastering Bitcoin
- Hidden Repression
- The Sovereign Individual
Give yourself the opportunity to look at reality from a different lens.
Allow yourself to think different 🟠
