Like a mischievous little rascal, Bitcoin decided to take a leap while the global markets were taking a long, leisurely nap. 💤 It’s like it found a secret door to the land of crypto where only it could play!
Upon a fine December morning in the year 2024, CryptoOnChain, always one to spin a delightful yarn, announced a curious shift among Ethereum’s loyalists. From a rather modest net inflow, a sum no less than £960 million found its way to Binance, an exchange of much renown. This change is all the more striking, given the precedents that saw the asset withdraw favor since July of 2025.
Behold, the exchange deposits spike! More SHIB floods onto exchanges than flees them, a dance of liquidity that tilts the market into sellers’ hands. Sellers, those grinning ghouls in tailored suits! Tokens parked on exchanges? A liquid supply, yes-but not for the faint-hearted. No, these coins are not for long-term love; they’re for hedging, selling, or collateralizing like a drunken bet. And lo! The imbalance is etched into the price action, as plain as a beggar’s pockets. 🎭📉
In a recent X post, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced that Ethereum is undergoing a transformation-not just in speed, but in its very soul. PeerDAS has hit the mainnet, and ZK-EVMs have reached performance levels worthy of a Broadway show, even if they’re still in rehearsal. 🎬
Ripple divulged, with all the subtlety of Proust’s memories, that the venerable David Schwartz, whose tenure outlasted several of our era’s bitcoins, has indeed retired to a less quotidian pastime. As of the end of December 2025, his work-life metamorphosis led him to adopt the appellation CTO Emeritus.
So, “safe havens” became the buzzword du jour. Everyone’s running around like, “Where’s the lifeboat?!” And wouldn’t you know it-gold (XAU), that old grandpa of assets, dusts off his orthopedic shoes and sprints up 65% to $4,500. A record! Grandpa’s got moves! 💃👴
Kiyosaki, ever the Cassandra of capitalism, spent the year sketching a grim portrait of global markets teetering on the edge of disaster. His dire predictions, delivered with the gravitas of a man who’s seen it all (or at least written about it), painted 2026 as the year the house of cards finally collapses. And bitcoin? Well, bitcoin was his chosen lifeline.
Good ol’ Donald Trump (yeah, he’s still around) announced that his Delta Force buddies pulled off a raid near Caracas, grabbed Maduro and his wife, and flew them out like it was a bad Netflix movie. 🎬 The operation was so quick, Maduro probably didn’t even finish his arepa. Meanwhile, Polymarket traders were like, “Cha-ching!” 💸
$76 million vanished across 26 incidents-a modest sum for the modern robber barons, but a drop in the ocean compared to November’s feast. The largest heist? A $50 million address-poisoning scam, where hackers played dress-up with wallet addresses like a digital game of “guess the password” (spoiler: it’s “I’m a scammer, duh”).
On the 6-hour chart shared by FLASH, AVAX has cleanly broken above a descending trendline that capped price action throughout December. This trendline had previously acted as dynamic resistance, rejecting multiple upside attempts before sellers lost control. 🕵️♂️📉
