1️⃣ Bitcoin ETF Net Outflows Hit $200 Million Ahead of FOMC Meeting ❓
Yesterday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $200 million. Notably, this marks the highest net outflows in a single trading day since May 1, when net outflows reached $564 million. The outflows come ahead of the crucial Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, market participants are not expecting any change in interest rates, with 99.4% of investors predicting the interest rate to remain at the current level of 525-550 bps. Another factor that is likely spooking investors is the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report which will be revealed later today. A higher-than-expected CPI print will likely delay interest rate cuts.

2️⃣ MetaMask Adds 'Pooled Staking' for Cheaper Ethereum Validation ☄️
MetaMask, the most popular wallet for Ethereum, has rolled out a "pooled staking" feature, allowing users to pool their funds and stake their assets in enterprise-grade validators operated by blockchain software company Consensys. Notably, this feature would make it cheaper to contribute to the blockchain network's security compared to running a full validator node.
Explaining how MetaMask’s pooled staking service contributes to the decentralisation and security of Ethereum, the senior product manager at Consensys Matthieu Saint Olive, stated,
Having more users staking and more ETH staked is beneficial for Ethereum security [...] Also, the underlying validator infrastructure is distributed across multiple cloud providers, multiple regions across the globe, multiple consensus clients and multiple execution clients.
You can imagine that the news that Tether is making good money went around the world. We get tens or hundreds of deals per month that are on the table, and we only end up doing a very small percentage of that […] Our investment policy is investing only in projects we find extremely interesting. We are not a classic VC. We do invest in things that we care about, and we have our own strategy.

1️⃣ ZKsync To Airdrop 3.6 Billion ZK Tokens Next Week 💰
The ZKsync Association will reportedly conduct a one-time token airdrop of 3.675 billion ZK tokens to early users and adopters of the Ethereum Layer 2 network ZKsync next week. Notably, the airdrop represents 17.5% of the token's total supply of 21 billion tokens. The tokens will be claimable starting next week until January 3, 2025, and will be distributed to 695,232 eligible wallets.
The airdrop is designed to reward "real people first" and prioritise community members over investors and the Matter Labs team. The ZKsync Association stated,
Awarding more tokens in the airdrop than to the Matter Labs team and investors is more than a symbolic decision for the community. When the ZKsync governance system launches in the coming weeks, the community will have the largest supply of liquid tokens to direct protocol governance upgrades.

1️⃣ Io.net CEO Ahmad Shadid Steps Down From CEO Role Days Before Token Launch ❓
Solana-based DePIN Io.Net, which lets users rent out GPU power for money, has reportedly replaced its CEO just two days before its native token launches on Binance Launchpad. Notably, CEO Ahmad Shadid announced his departure and named fellow co-founder and former COO Tory Green as his replacement.

1️⃣ Bitcoin Price Tanks as Nearly $300 Million in Longs Get Rekt 🔽
The broader crypto market experienced a sudden plunge in price on Friday afternoon, yielding a still-growing pile of liquidations that includes almost $300 million worth of long positions. Specifically, data from CoinGlass shows that over $373 million in long positions and $43 million in short positions have been liquidated over the past 24 hours.

2️⃣ Bitcoin Network Transaction Fees Temporarily Soar To Nearly $52 💸
The Bitcoin network experienced a sharp increase in network fees on Friday driven by 332,000 unconfirmed transactions. Notably, network fees at the time hit 514 sats for high-priority transactions and 513 sats for low-priority transactions, with prices climbing to around 520 sats per transaction earlier in the day. In United States dollars, this represents $50–$52 in fees per transaction. Priority fees have since dropped to around $3 per transaction. According to many sources, the 332,000 unconfirmed transactions are the result of centralised exchange OKX collecting and sorting through wallets. Most of it is reportedly related to internal transactions to consolidate outputs.

1️⃣ Telegram Launches Digital Mini-App Payment System, Telegram Stars ✨
Pavel Durov, CEO of the messaging platform Telegram, has announced the launch of ‘Telegram Stars’ - a new payment system for digital goods and services via in-app purchases on iOS and Android. Notably, Durov stated that app developers can swap their stars for TON via the exchange Fragment.
Explaining Telegram Stars’ compliance strategy for Apple and Google's digital product sale policies, Durov wrote,
Apple and Google take a 30% cut when users buy Stars from them, but Telegram will subsidise ads purchased with Telegram Stars. So if developers reinvest Stars in promoting their app, the overall commission will be nearly 0%. As a result, launching apps on Telegram makes more economic sense than launching traditional mobile apps.
The defendants ran a scam to drive up the price of digital artwork through false promises about developing a videogame. They allegedly took investor funds, never developed the game, and pocketed the proceeds. Digital art may be new, but old rules still apply: making false promises for money is illegal.
Semler remains focused on our two strategies of expanding our healthcare business and acquiring and holding bitcoin. The company now holds 828 bitcoins, underscoring our view that bitcoin is a compelling investment and can serve as a reliable store of value. We will continue to pursue our strategy of purchasing bitcoins with cash.
We believe ETH is a revolutionary asset with few parallels in the non-crypto financial world. The Ethereum network is likely to continue its rapid market share growth from traditional financial market participants and, increasingly, Big Tech. Should it do so while maintaining its dominant position among smart contract platforms, we see a credible path to $66B in free cash flow to token holders supporting a $2.2 trillion asset, or $22k per coin, by 2030.

1️⃣ Fed Sees Just One Rate Cut This Year; Bitcoin Gives Up Session Gains 🕯
Yesterday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S. Federal Reserve held its benchmark fed funds rate range at 5.25%-5.50%. Notably, policymakers’ move to leave interest rates unchanged for an 11th consecutive month comes in the backdrop of a 25 basis point rate cut by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Canada.
However, the Fed also updated its economic outlook, stating that its median expectation for the fed funds rate at year-end 2024 is now 5.1%. This is markedly higher than its median expectation of 4.6% three months ago. This means the central bank is now anticipating just one 25 basis point rate cut this year versus 75 previously. This hawkish turn in the Fed economic projections saw Bitcoin’s price, which had rallied earlier that day, return back to $67,300.

2️⃣ Andrew Tate Token Surpasses MOTHER Amid Claims Of Insider Activity ▶️
Daddy Tate (DADDY) — the Solana-based memecoin promoted by controversial social media figure Andrew Tate has hit the $300 million market capitalisation mark and surpassed the token launched by rapper Iggy Azalea. Interestingly, the pump comes as crypto analytics firm Bubblemaps posted a tweet earlier that day reporting that it “found huge insider activity” for DADDY. It stated that insiders bought at least 30% of the supply at launch before Andrew Tate started to promote it on X. All of the wallets that bought this supply were funded through Binance with “nearly identical amounts at the same time.” While Bubblemaps added that it couldn’t confirm whether they belong to the same group, it stated that “the timing and amounts strongly suggest they do.”

3️⃣ GameStop Stock Price Plunges as Short Seller Taps Out 🔽

5️⃣ UwU Lend Drained For $3.7 Million In Second Exploit This Week ❌
According to blockchain security firms Beosin and Blocksec, decentralised lending protocol UwU Lend was hacked for $3.7 million today. Notably, this attack comes just days after a previous hack that resulted in a loss of $20 million. Both attacks were carried out using flash loans, and some suspect they were done by the same entity. UwU Lend had previously acknowledged and fixed the security vulnerability that led to the first hack, but it appears that another vulnerability was exploited in this latest attack. The stolen funds have been converted to ether and are currently sitting in the attacker's wallet address.

The price of ROSE has rallied by 10% in the past 24 hours.

You see, despite the unemployment rate being at a multi-year low, and government officials assuring everybody that the post-pandemic economy remains vigilant, the opposite appears to be true. Things suck right now, and getting a job these days requires a lot of patience and perseverance.

🔍 The second, GIP-102, suggests that GnosisDAO contribute an investment of $20M to the new GnosisVC fund. The GnosisVC fund will deploy funds into early-stage projects in line with the existing Gnosis 3.0 thesis with a focus on RWAs, DePIN, and financial payment rails as target verticals.

This week’s crypto review is a crazy one. After a second best inflow day, the spot Bitcoin ETFs could be signalling a local top for BTC. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to tell given all the GameStop hype.
You’d also be forgiven for thinking the economy is weakening. Didn’t you hear its strong? That could mean no rate cuts, at least until Trump gets into office thanks to all the pro-crypto donations.
Across the pond, the EU is starting to restrict stablecoins for crypto traders, and it looks like a strengthening dollar could spell trouble for the developing world. Perhaps this is by design…

Decentralised social media platform Friend.tech has announced it will be teaming up with Conduit to develop its own blockchain, Friendchain. Notably, the move comes after FriendTech co-founder Racer had recently hinted that a move away from Base was being considered for the social network.
The network will reportedly use FriendTech's native token as a "fully transferable gas token." While the protocol didn't specify a timeline for the move, its announcement on X hints that it may take “months." Ironically, the announcement seems to have had a negative effect on the price, which has fallen by 16% over the past twenty-four hours.

1️⃣ Robinhood Set To Acquire Crypto Exchange Bitstamp In Potential $200 Million Deal 🤝
Crypto and stock trading platform Robinhood has reportedly agreed to acquire U.K.-based crypto exchange Bitstamp for $200 million in cash to expand its global crypto presence and attract institutional clients. The cash deal is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions such as regulatory approvals.
Johann Kerbrat, General Manager of Robinhood Crypto stated,
The acquisition of Bitstamp is a major step in growing our crypto business. Bitstamp’s highly trusted and long-standing global exchange has shown resilience through market cycles … [and] has established one of the strongest reputations across retail and institutional crypto investors. Through this strategic combination, we are better positioned to expand our footprint outside of the U.S. and welcome institutional customers to Robinhood.
We’ve added programmatic daily yield so this looks a little bit more like a savings product than a checking account product, which is maybe the way to think about traditional stablecoins. [USDL] is going one step further from democratizing access to dollars, to also democratizing the risk-free rate, in the safest manner possible.
