According to Huoxun Finance, the size of the Ethereum validator entry queue has risen to almost double the size of the exit queue for the first time in six months, indicating a rebound in staking demand. Cointelegraph reports that this growth suggests a rebound in staking demand, primarily driven by digital asset treasury companies like BitMine and potentially supported by the Pectra upgrade.

Dragonfly Partner: BTC Will Break $150,000 by the End of 2026, But Market Share Will Decline. Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb shared his predictions for 2026, with the following key points: BTC will break $150,000 by the end of the year, but its market share will decline. Fintech public chains such as Tempo, Arc, and RobinhoodChain may underperform market expectations; in contrast, Ethereum and Solana will exceed expectations, and top developers will continue to choose neutral infrastructure public chains. A major tech company (such as Google, Facebook, or Apple) will launch or acquire a crypto wallet in 2026. The three major PerpDEXs will occupy 90% of the market share in this sector, with other projects only able to compete for the remaining 10%. Equity investment will grow rapidly, accounting for more than 20% of total DeFi investment by the end of the year. The supply of stablecoins will increase by about 60% in 2026, with USD stablecoins maintaining a share of over 99%, and USDT's dominance slightly declining to about 55%. The Clarity Act will officially become law, but it will require significant negotiation. Prediction markets are booming, but 90% of prediction market products will go unnoticed and gradually disappear by the end of the year. The main applications of artificial intelligence in the crypto field remain limited to software engineering and security; other areas are still in the prototype stage. DelphiDigital: GameFi funding has declined by over 55% year-on-year this year, while Web2.5 games are quietly emerging. On December 30th, DelphiDigital published an article stating: "2025 will be a difficult year for GameFi. Funding has declined by over 55% year-on-year. The most anticipated projects have underperformed, and market enthusiasm is low. But the overall situation is more complex. We are witnessing the quiet rise of Web2.5 games. These games treat blockchain as pure infrastructure, often completely skipping the token stage and using actual revenue as the competitive point. Studios like FumbGames, MythicalGames, and Wemade/Wemix are utilizing blockchain in their own unique ways." At the same time, it continues to generate substantial revenue. Blockchain improves profit margins, enhances user engagement, or introduces new revenue streams. While Web3 native games generated six- to seven-figure revenues this year, the player base is small and rife with bots. Once incentive mechanisms fail, the fun of the game disappears, although some teams are trying new models to address this issue. Web2.5 studios can now leverage the advantages of blockchain without forcing users to participate in speculation or making excuses for poor user experiences. The widespread adoption of stablecoins should accelerate this trend. Small transactions, global payment channels, and participation-based reward mechanisms will all become more convenient. FrameworkVentures co-founder: The market in 2026 will focus on mainstream tokens, institutions... Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures, wrote: "2025 may not be the year of triumph expected by the crypto industry, but it is very likely a necessary transitional year for the industry's continued development. The industry has largely moved away from memes, NFTs, low-circulation, high-FDV projects, and the overall consumer-oriented narrative. I predict that token issuance will sharply decrease in 2026, the market will focus more on mainstream assets (ETH, BTC), and institutional funds will continue to flow into DeFi blue-chip projects with reasonable value capture mechanisms. This buying power may far exceed expectations, especially with the combined effect of continuous buybacks and high financial self-discipline at the protocol layer. The future direction of the industry is clear: stablecoins and real-world assets (R... WA), lending and capital markets, and asset management will become dominant. We will solve many problems in the cryptocurrency field through meticulous cultivation, reducing blind expansion, and compliant operation. This is a bullish pattern, but rebound, surge, and exit opportunities will be highly concentrated. Billionaire Grant Cardone announced that he will launch the world's largest real estate Bitcoin company in 2026. According to a video shared by CarbonSiliconAI co-founder @KKaWSB, Billionaire Grant Cardone, CEO of real estate investment company Cardone Capital, just announced that he will launch the world's largest real estate Bitcoin company in 2026, making him the next Michael Saylor. He stated, “We will create the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company. We will use the cash flow from real estate—monthly rental income and depreciation—to buy Bitcoin. Since March of this year, we have completed five transactions. We will accumulate 3,000 Bitcoins by the end of next year. This is the new model: real estate plus Bitcoin. It’s like Michael Saylor’s model, but we have real cash flow.” A wallet on Lighter saw its assets grow from $5,000 to $133,000 in two months solely through ETH trading. According to MLM monitoring, a wallet deposited 5,000 USDC into Lighter approximately two months ago (October 24th). Through ETH trading alone, its assets appear to have grown to approximately $133,000 (approximately 26.6 times/a return of approximately +2,560%). In the past 7 days, this address appears to have accounted for approximately 59% of the ETHUSD take-profit trading volume ($1.72 billion) and approximately 9% of the total number of ETHUSD take-profit transactions (approximately 115,000 transactions) on Lighter. According to Lighter's API and block explorer data, the account appears to be trading with zero fees, and no other funds have been transferred in or deposited besides the initial $5,000. Using an order-taking algorithm and profiting from it does not inherently constitute wash trading, as wash trading requires matching one's own orders. Considering its initial size, this performance is noteworthy. Lighter has withdrawn 32.05 million USDC to its treasury address, of which approximately 7.5 million USDC went to LLP. According to MLM monitoring, Lighter has withdrawn 32.05 million USDC to its treasury address, while approximately 100,000 USDC remain in Lighter's fee wallet. Of these 32.05 million USDC, approximately 8.6 million USDC have been deposited back into Lighter since October 16th, with approximately 7.5 million USDC going to LLP (the resulting fees are returned to the holder and reflected in LLP earnings). This is somewhat unusual, as this arrangement had never been publicly disclosed or mentioned in documents before—meaning approximately 25% of total revenue was used for this purpose. The remaining approximately 21.9 million USDC were transferred to a Coinbase escrow address. A whale that previously sold 255 BTC increased its BTC short position and opened new short positions in ETH and SOL. On December 30th, according to OnchainLens monitoring, a whale that previously sold 255 BTC further increased its BTC (10x leverage) short position and opened new short positions in ETH (10x leverage) and SOL (20x leverage).

Meta acquires Butterfly Effect, the company that developed the AI application Manus, for billions of dollars. According to Jinshi, Meta acquired Butterfly Effect, the company that developed the AI application Manus, for billions of dollars. This is Meta's third-largest acquisition since its inception, second only to WhatsApp and ScaleAI.

Liu Yuan, partner at ZhenFund and angel investor in Butterfly Effect, said that the acquisition negotiations were completed in a very short time, only about ten days. Manus and MetaPlatforms (META.O) released statements on their respective websites announcing Manus's joining Meta, without disclosing specific details of the transaction. The total market capitalization of tokenized stocks has risen to a record high of $1.2 billion, according to Cointelegraph. Based on data from TokenTerminal, driven by strong growth in September and December, the total market capitalization of tokenized stocks has climbed to a record $1.2 billion. TokenTerminal stated, "Tokenized stocks today are like stablecoins in 2020." This highlights that the market is still in its early stages. In 2020, stablecoins were still in their infancy, but this year they have developed into a $300 billion industry. Other industry insiders have likened tokenized stocks to the DeFi boom of early 2020, pointing out that more global stocks may be put on-chain in the future, benefiting from faster settlement speeds, 24/7 trading, and divisible ownership. BlackRock's first tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, has paid out over $100 million in dividends since its launch, according to FinanceFeeds. This data indicates that tokenized securities have moved beyond the pilot and proof-of-concept stages and are now being used in practice. The fund reportedly invests in short-term dollar-denominated instruments such as U.S. Treasury bonds, repurchase agreements, and cash equivalents. Cicely LaMothe, Deputy Director of the Corporate Finance Division at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is retiring after playing a key role in shaping the agency's approach to cryptocurrency regulation, according to The Block.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the draft of the "Digital Asset Basic Law" (the second phase of the Virtual Asset Act), currently being drafted by the Financial Services Commission of South Korea, has been partially disclosed. The draft is expected to include several investor protection measures, such as requiring stablecoin issuers to invest reserves in assets like deposits and government bonds, and to entrust more than 100% of the outstanding balance to banks or other regulatory institutions to achieve bankruptcy risk isolation. The bill may also stipulate that digital asset operators will be liable for damages without fault in the event of hacking or system failures, and their disclosure obligations, terms, and advertising regulations will be aligned with financial industry standards. Furthermore, the bill may allow the sale of digital assets domestically, provided there is full information disclosure, aiming to address the current situation where domestic ICOs are banned and projects are issued overseas before returning to China. However, the bill's submission may be delayed until next year due to key controversies. The core disagreements include: the Bank of Korea advocates allowing only consortia with banks holding a majority stake in stablecoins, while the Financial Services Commission believes it is inappropriate to legally mandate bank shareholding ratios; the two sides also disagree on whether a new inter-agency consensus committee should be established. Furthermore, issues such as the initial capital requirements for stablecoin issuers and whether exchange issuance and circulation functions should be separated still need to be coordinated. Due to the delay in submitting the government bill, the ruling party's digital asset task force is reportedly preparing a separate version of the bill based on existing legislative proposals.
