According to a report by Cointelegraph on the X platform, as reported by Odaily Planet Daily, the supply of XRP on exchanges has fallen to a 7-year low of 1.6 billion, a significant drop from 3.76 billion in October.

According to Etherscan data, Ethereum's mainnet saw a record 2.2 million transactions yesterday, while the average fee dropped to just $0.17. Ethereum's previous record for highest transaction fees was set in May 2022, when users paid over $200 per transaction on average. Through continuous network upgrades, network fees have significantly decreased despite increasing usage. The growth in mainnet transaction volume indicates a return to Layer 1 mainchains, with developers increasingly using Ethereum as a settlement layer. Token Terminal data also shows that the number of newly created and published smart contracts on the Ethereum chain reached an all-time high of 8.7 million in the fourth quarter. Ethereum underwent two major upgrades in 2025: the Pectra upgrade in May focused on validator improvements, staking flexibility, and preparation for future scalability features; the Fusaka upgrade in early December increased the gas limit from 45 million to 60 million, while significantly improving scalability, data processing, and network efficiency.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Binance has announced the launch of the second wave of its Alpha Quack AI (Q) airdrop. Users holding at least 240 Binance Alpha Points can claim the token airdrop. Claiming 2,500 Q tokens via the Alpha event page will automatically decrease the points threshold by 5 every 5 minutes if the rewards are not fully distributed. Please note that claiming the airdrop will consume 15 Binance Alpha Points. Users must confirm their claim within 24 hours via the Alpha event page; otherwise, they will be considered to have forfeited their airdrop.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on the X platform, using avalanche rescue as an analogy to emphasize the importance of Zcash (ZEC) privacy features. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson responded to Hayes's vacation tweet with "Ditch the backpack," to which Hayes replied that if someone is buried in an avalanche and their companions are not prepared with beacons and shovels for rescue, the situation will be completely different. This is analogous to buying ZEC but not using its privacy features, which is tantamount to abandoning the core value of the asset, and he bluntly asked, "What's the point of doing that?"

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Binance announced today at 15:00 (UTC+8) that the Binance Alpha airdrop will be available.
