SOON (SOON) Plunge

Brevis is set to launch its token BREV with a total supply of 1 billion. The token distribution includes 37% for ecosystem development, 32.2% for community incentives (including airdrops), 20% for the team, and 10.8% for investors. Ecosystem and community tokens will unlock linearly over 24 months post-TGE, with 14.5% and 10.5% circulating at TGE, respectively. Team and investor tokens are locked for the first year. Brevis, a zk-based off-chain computation engine backed by Vitalik Buterin and a $7.5 million seed round, aims to enhance smart contract efficiency. It has been added to Coinbase's listing roadmap. The project is currently in Phase 1 of its community program, allowing users to earn points through invites and daily check-ins. An airdrop registration portal is即将上线.

Bitcoin has been trading between $85k and $92k in December, but a record $23.7 billion options expiry on December 26th is expected to cause significant price movement. Analysts anticipate a potential 5%-7% swing, with a Max Pain Point at $95,000. Many predict a short-term dip to the $82k-$84k support level, followed by a rally toward $95k or even $100k. However, QCP Capital cautions that this holiday-driven volatility may not be sustainable and could mean-revert as liquidity returns in January.

Zcash (ZEC) surged by 15% on December 27, significantly outperforming the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin and Ethereum saw only marginal gains. Trading volume increased by 45%, reaching $665 million, reflecting strong investor interest. Key factors driving the rally include growing whale accumulation, with top holders increasing their stakes by over 48% in 30 days, and a dominance of bullish leveraged positions. Technically, ZEC broke out of an ascending triangle pattern, ending a bearish trend from mid-November 2025. A daily close above $490 could propel ZEC price toward $615, though failure to hold this level may invalidate the bullish outlook.

Ahead of the 2027 global implementation of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), tax authorities in 48 countries have begun collecting detailed cryptocurrency transaction data from service providers as of January 1 this year. Developed by the OECD, CARF aims to enhance tax transparency, combat evasion, and address money laundering risks by requiring centralized exchanges, certain decentralized platforms, and crypto brokers to report transaction data. Many jurisdictions have already enacted laws to enforce this data collection, with a second group of 27 countries, including Australia and Canada, set to follow in 2027. While the data is officially for tax purposes, concerns exist about its potential use for broader financial surveillance and tracing anonymous crypto ownership. Investors should expect stricter compliance procedures from trading platforms and increased transparency similar to traditional finance.

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan has positioned the DEX as a "credibly neutral" platform, emphasizing integrity and fairness by blocking market makers, private investors, and protocol fees. This stance contrasts with recent controversy around Lighter DEX, which faced criticism for undisclosed market-making deals, including airdrops to entities like Jump Trading and Kelsier Labs. While Hyperliquid's market share has dropped from 75% to 19% amid rising competition, its token HYPE saw a slight price increase following Yan's remarks. The ongoing "perpetual DEX wars highlight tensions between transparency and traditional market-making practices in decentralized exchanges.
