Price Structure: SHIB holds above key demand zones, forming a base for potential bullish momentum. Golden Cross Potential: 50-EMA below 200-EMA may converge if price breaks out of descending wedge. Market Signals: Rising open interest and early MACD momentum support possible upside in 202

The well-known community platform Discord has secretly submitted an initial public offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), planning to go public with the support of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. This company, which has over 200 million monthly active users and was once valued at $15 billion, rejected a $12 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft in 2021 and has now chosen to list independently. This move comes as the U.S. tech IPO market is warming up, with last year's funding more than double that of 2024. For the cryptocurrency industry, Discord's IPO is not only a business milestone but also a key signal that its status as a core infrastructure of Web3 is gaining recognition from mainstream capital markets.

John Bollinger emphasizes caution for XRP despite its 32% price surge, noting its weak technical patterns compared to BTC and ETH. While XRP shows strong movement, it lacks a solid support base, making it vulnerable. Ethereum's performance mimics Bitcoin's, but it remains in a delayed follow.

Entering 2026, the long-dormant Memecoin market has made a powerful comeback at an astonishing speed. According to CryptoQuant data, the total market capitalization of this sector has surged by over $8 billion since the beginning of the year, with PEPE up 65% year-to-date, BONK increasing 49%, and FLOKI recording a 40% surge. This rebound began after the sector hit a historic low in December 2025, accounting for only 3.2% of the altcoin market, which is eerily similar to the market structure before the epic bull run at the end of 2020. Meanwhile, Jesse Pollak, founder of Coinbase's Layer 2 network Base, highly praised the value of Memecoin as a "community coordination point," with the total market cap of on-chain Memecoin rising 14% in a single day to surpass $600 million. This frenzy, driven by community culture, platform infrastructure, and market cycles, is once again testing the boundaries between "utility" and "meme" in the crypto market.

The cryptocurrency market has always been about the numbers, but what happens when those numbers reflect a separate narrative from the price chart? The predicament that Virtual Protocol’s base token (VIRTUAL) is in now fits that mold. On-chain analyst Chyan recently completed a detailed 24-hour

By 2025, public blockchains may no longer be the sexy track of grand narratives, because what users truly care about is no longer throughput, the size of funding rounds, or the豪华 backing behind them, but whether there are real users experiencing genuine growth. Are there on-chain transactions with real value? Are there developers who can stay long-term, and applications that can grow beyond the circle? During this year, some public chains have transitioned from "being discussed" to "being used," some have chosen to slow down and refine their underlying capabilities, and others have validated their long-term paths through market fluctuations. "2025 OKX Public Chain Friends" is not a review of a grand narrative, but an invitation for frontline participants to clarify what has truly been achieved this year, which judgments have been proven correct, and where further adjustments are needed—because these are the core issues that communities and users care about most. By 2025, OKX's collaborations with multiple public chains will no longer be limited to single instances.

At the beginning of 2026, the US national debt surpassed the $38.5 trillion mark, a level that was originally expected to be reached around 2030, but was broken four years early, highlighting the rapid deterioration of the US fiscal situation. Meanwhile, the global Bitcoin community celebrated the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin's Genesis Block on January 3rd, commemorating the birth of the first block in 2009. The embedded headline "Treasury Secretary is on the verge of implementing the second round of bank emergency aid" echoes across a 17-year historical span with the current massive national debt. Analysis indicates that annual debt interest payments of one trillion dollars have become the "new normal" for fiscal policy, while government efforts to increase revenue and cut costs through tariffs and institutional reforms are insufficient in the face of the enormous debt base. This stark contrast continues to reinforce Bitcoin's core narrative as an inflation hedge and a fixed supply asset.

Highlights of this Issue The weekly coverage period for this issue spans from December 19, 2025, to December 26, 2025. This week, the total on-chain RWA market capitalization steadily increased to $19.04 billion, with the number of holders surpassing 590,000, indicating sustained growth momentum; meanwhile, the total market cap of stablecoins, after approaching $300 billion, has nearly stagnated, further highlighting the contraction in active user base expansion and on-chain activity. Global regulatory frameworks continue to advance: the United States is considering providing a tax safe harbor for stablecoins, Japan plans to promote the on-chain issuance of local government bonds, and countries like China, South Korea, and Ghana are accelerating their deployment in digital currencies and stablecoins. Domestic institutions' overseas branches are gradually exploring applications such as digital renminbi and stablecoin top-ups and payments: ICBC's Singapore branch is piloting digital renminbi overseas wallet top-ups, and Ctrip's overseas version has integrated stablecoin payments, demonstrating accelerated adoption of stablecoins in cross-border settlement and travel consumption scenarios.

Author: imToken If you often cross between Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism, you must have felt a subtle "disconnect." Although individual L2 transactions are almost instant, when you try to transfer assets from chain A to chain B, you often have to wait several minutes or even longer. This is not because L2 itself is slow, but because in traditional processes, a transaction involving cross-layer and cross-chain operations must go through a lengthy and rigorous process: L2 sequencer ordering → Submission to L1 → L1 reaching consensus and finality. In short, under the current Ethereum architecture, finality on L1 usually takes two Epochs (about 13

Berkshire Hathaway reduced its Apple holdings by 74% while buying 17.8 million shares of Alphabet, reflecting a strategic shift towards AI, cloud, and digital ads amidst Apple's growth in revenue and installed base.

Author: AJC, Messari Enterprise Research Manager Translation: Tim, PANews By 2025, Base has further solidified its leading position as Ethereum's L2 champion across many data metrics. Among them, revenue is the most indicative of its dominance within the entire L2 ecosystem. Although the total revenue of L2 has significantly declined from its peak in 2024, Base continues to maintain a dominant position in the L2 market. In December 2023, Base's on-chain revenue was $2.5 million, accounting for only 5% of the total L2 revenue of $53.7 million. One year later, Base's on-chain revenue grew to $14.7 million, representing 63% of the total L2 revenue of $23.5 million in December 2024. This trend continued into 2025, with Base achieving $75.4 million in revenue from the beginning of the year, accounting for 62% of the total L2 revenue of $120.7 million. Base's leading advantage

PI, the ecosystem expansion has officially started during the price fall trend. As of December 23, 2025, the trading price of PI is $0.202, down 2.07% in the last 24 hours. Amidst a recent volatile trend, the market is focusing on its long-term ecosystem development and user base expansion. Recent price trends and investor movements PI once rose to $0.2821, but the current trading price is approximately $0.2050, down about 27% from its peak. Its market capitalization is around $1.69 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $12.09 million, an increase of about 10% compared to the previous day. Compared to the past trading volume that fell below $10.40 million, it shows some signs of recovery, but demand is still assessed as weak. In the past 24 hours, a total of 414,000 PI coins have flowed out of the exchange, and the Chaikin Money Flow indicator has risen by 40%. These indicators are interpreted as some.

As Bitcoin shows signs of fatigue in its recent trend and market sentiment turns cautious, Citigroup has released a forecast report predicting that Bitcoin is expected to rise to $143,000 in the base case over the next 12 months. Based on the current price of about $88,000, this implies a potential upside of 62% for Bitcoin. Citigroup analysts Alex Saunders, Dirk Willer, and Vinh Vo pointed out in a joint report that as Bitcoin enters the new year, the price range may fall between "$80,000 and $90,000," primarily supported by user activity, but the real highlight is next year. The Citigroup analysis team predicts that as the legislative process related to digital assets in the United States is expected to make substantial progress in the second quarter, the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies will witness a new surge.

Senior trader Peter Brandt recently issued a warning about XRP's price, pointing out that its weekly chart may be forming a classic bearish "double top" pattern, indicating a potential exhaustion of upward momentum. However, this technical warning stands in stark contrast to the increasingly strong fundamentals of XRP: its issuing company Ripple is accelerating the expansion of the US dollar stablecoin RLUSD to multiple Layer 2 networks such as Optimism and Base, and has launched institutional trading tools for qualified retirement accounts. Meanwhile, another analyst citing historical cycle data noted that after XRP price hovers below the 50-week moving average for about 70 days, it often triggers a strong rebound. This significant divergence between technicals and fundamentals constitutes the core contradiction in the current XRP market, and its future direction will depend on which force ultimately prevails.

SAND is positioned near a wedge base, facing controlled selling pressure while long liquidations suggest leverage reduction. The $0.128–$0.132 range is key for direction, indicating traders are navigating a balance between stability and current weakness.
