A California woman, Margaret Loke, connected with "wealthy businessman" Ed through social media and was scammed out of nearly $1 million in a fake cryptocurrency investment. After her account was frozen, she consulted ChatGPT and realized she had been scammed, prompting her to contact the police. An investigation revealed the money had been transferred to Malaysia. The lesson is to never trust strangers easily and to be cautious with investments.

[BlockBeats] Vitalik recently posted an interesting update. He said that in the past, he often complained that the Ethereum Foundation lacked experience in the P2P networking layer, with the team being more skilled in cryptoeconomics and BFT consensus at the protocol layer, while the networking layer was treated as a marginal task that just needed to be "good enough to run."
But now, things are different.
The performance of PeerDAS has changed his perspective—this time, Foundation members did an outstanding job in ensuring the stable operation of PeerDAS. Not only did it make data propagation faster, but it also simultaneously improved network resilience and privacy protection. Vitalik specifically praised the team's "heroic-level contributions" and said he's looking forward to the next steps on the roadmap.
This should be viewed in the context of the Fusaka upgrade. When Ethereum completed the Fusaka upgrade, Vitalik celebrated by posting that PeerDAS enabled sharding and data availability sampling—a long-awaited technical dream for Ethereum. Now, it seems that the Found

Acting Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould stated that crypto firms applying for federal banking licenses should receive equal treatment, emphasizing the traditional nature of digital asset custody. Data shows that there have been 14 new bank applications this year, indicating that more and more institutions wish to operate within a compliant framework, suggesting that regulators are adopting a more pragmatic and accepting attitude toward the crypto industry.

[Crypto World] Latest news on December 9: An official announcement from a leading South Korean exchange states that a KRW trading pair for ALLO will be launched soon.
It seems ALLO is about to enter the Korean market. The opening of the KRW trading pair means that local users can trade directly with fiat currency, which should greatly boost the project's liquidity and user base in Korea.
That being said, the Korean market has always been enthusiastic about crypto assets. Will this launch bring a new wave of attention? If you're following ALLO, it's worth keeping an eye on.

Analysts point out that ETH has shown technical changes, with its price rebounding to the 50-day moving average and forming a breakout pattern, while momentum indicators continue to rise. Historical data shows that this combination has previously led to strong rebounds. The global liquidity environment is shifting toward expansion, which is expected to drive the crypto market into a bull phase.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that a 22-year-old California man, Evan Tangeman, has pleaded guilty in a Bitcoin fraud case, admitting to helping launder over $3.5 million. The group stole 4,100 Bitcoins, with their value increasing from $263 million to $371 million. Comprised of online gaming friends, the group had clear divisions of labor and used various methods, including hacking and fraud. Tangeman is scheduled to be sentenced in 2026.

A recent suspicious on-chain transfer involving $1.6 million worth of ZBT tokens flowing to GSR Markets has been discovered, which could indicate exchange operations. This fund flow pattern may suggest either a sell-off or market maker rebalancing, so retail investors should remain vigilant.

[Crypto World] Matt Huang from Paradigm recently shared a study pointing out that there's an issue with Polymarket's data statistics. What's the problem exactly? The trading volume has been double-counted. The tricky part is that many third-party platforms referencing this public data may also be affected. Looks like we'll have to be more careful when citing data in the future—not everything on the surface can be trusted.

CZ spoke out regarding the misconduct of internal employees at a leading exchange, stating that user reports will be addressed. The case has been reported to the authorities, and he emphasized cooperation with law enforcement agencies, warning those attempting to exploit loopholes.

Tether recently invested 70 million euros in the Italian robotics company Generative Bionics, demonstrating its intention to expand from the payments sector into AI hardware. The company focuses on the development of industrial-grade humanoid robots, and the investment has sparked speculation about whether Tether values technology or market demand more.

[Crypto World] Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital recently gave Michael Saylor major props for his moves.
The reason? MicroStrategy made another big move—this time dropping $962.7 million to acquire 10,624 bitcoins. This is their largest purchase in months. Now, the total number of bitcoins they hold has soared to 660,624, with an average cost of $74,702 per bitcoin.
Scaramucci specifically pointed out that Saylor’s strategy is truly clever: first, build a USD buffer, then issue more shares to raise funds, and reinvest that money into bitcoin. With this approach, not only does the balance sheet look healthier, but the bitcoin value per share also rises.
In short, this is leveraging assets to the max.

[BlockBeats] Recently, BTC’s price action has been a bit subtle—it did rebound from the lows, but it’s still far from healthy. Right now, the price is stuck grinding between the $84,000 and $91,000 range. What’s more awkward is that the S&P 500 is about to hit a new high, making Bitcoin look especially weak by comparison, and its correlation with traditional risk assets is getting weaker.
Looking at on-chain data tells the story even better: over 7 million BTC are currently in a floating loss, which is very similar to the consolidation period in early 2022. The market just can’t climb back to the “real market average” line. This line is actually pretty crucial—it helps indicate whether we’re in a mid-cycle adjustment or sliding into a full-blown bear market.
But it’s not all bad news. Although capital inflows aren’t strong, at least they’re still positive, barely keeping prices from falling further. The main problem lies in spot demand: Bitcoin ETFs in the US have been...

[Crypto World] Latest data reveals that mining company Hut8 currently holds 13,696 BTC, ranking ninth among all publicly listed companies. At current prices, this stash is worth approximately $4.54 billion. Converted, each Hut8 share corresponds to 0.00012677 BTC.
This holding is quite significant among public companies; after all, only those who have really invested substantial capital can make it into the top ten. It seems this mining company has strong confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin.

【区块律动】以太坊链上活动最近有点冷清。从11月初到现在，整个网络每天的总Gas费（按90天均线算）已经跌破300 ETH了。
这个数字什么概念？要知道上一次出现这种低迷状态，还得追溯到2017年7月——那会儿DeFi这个词都还没火起来。
链上费用通常能反映网络使用热度。现在这个水平，多少说明市场参与度在降温，或者说用户行为变得更加谨慎了。
