Abstract

Coinbase reports record-high open interest for 2025, with perpetual futures reaching $1 billion in June, U.S. futures hitting the same milestone in July, and derivatives options open interest surging to $60 billion in October. BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 44,463 last week, bringing its total to 4.11 million ETH—3.41% of Ethereum’s total supply. The firm also holds 193 BTC, $23 million in EightCo Holdings stock, and $1 billion in cash. Since October, it has acquired nearly 1.46 million ETH. Additionally, BitMine has staked 408,627 ETH, valued at $1.2 billion. If fully staked, its annual yield could reach $374 million, or over $1 million per day. MicroStrategy (MSTR) has purchased 225,027 Bitcoin so far this year—1.3 times the total annual Bitcoin mining output. Cantor Fitzgerald warns that Bitcoin may enter a prolonged downturn in 2026, potentially testing MicroStrategy’s average cost basis near $75,000. However, the market is more institutionally driven this cycle, with growing divergence between token prices and on-chain activity in DeFi, tokenization, and infrastructure. Regulatory clarity from U.S. legislation may encourage deeper institutional involvement. Hyperliquid Labs is set to distribute 1.2 million HYPE tokens (worth ~$31.2 million) to its team on January 6. HYPE has a max supply of 1 billion tokens, with over 61% still locked.

【Coinbase: Open Interest Hits Record High for 2025】

Bitpush News, Coinbase stated that open interest for 2025 has reached a record high. Perpetual futures open interest reached $1 billion in June. US futures open interest reached $1 billion in July. Derivatives options open interest reached $60 billion in October.

【BitMine Adds 44,463 ETH Last Week, Total Holdings Surpass 4.11 Million】

Bitpush News, according to the latest announcement from Ethereum treasury company BitMine on December 29, BitMine added 44,500 ETH last week, bringing its total ETH holdings to 4,110,525, accounting for 3.41% of Ethereum's total supply (120.7 million ETH).

Additionally, BitMine also holds 193 BTC; $23 million worth of shares in Eightco Holdings (Nasdaq: ORBS); and a total of $1 billion in cash. Public data shows that since October, BitMine has purchased nearly 1.46 million ETH.

【Bitmine Has Staked Over 408,600 ETH, Full Staking Could Yield Over $1 Million Daily】

Bitpush News, Bitmine announced it is collaborating with three staking service providers to advance its commercial MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), scheduled to officially launch in 2022026.

As of December 28, 2025, Bitmine has staked 408,627 ETH, valued at approximately $1.2 billion based on an ETH price of $2,948, representing only a small portion of its 4.11 million ETH holdings. The current CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate) is 2.81%.

Fundstrat founder Tom Lee stated that if Bitmine's ETH is fully staked via MAVAN and its partners in the future, based on a 2.81% CESR, the annualized staking revenue would be approximately $374 million, with daily earnings exceeding $1 million.

【Strategy (Stock Code: MSTR) Has Officially Purchased 225,027 Bitcoin Year-to-Date】

Bitpush News, according to market news: Strategy (Stock Code: MSTR) has officially purchased 225,027 Bitcoin year-to-date, a quantity that is 1.3 times the total annual Bitcoin mining output.

【Viewpoint: 2026 May See a "Crypto Winter," but Institutionalization and On-Chain Transformation Are Accelerating】

Bitpush News, Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its latest year-end report that Bitcoin may be entering a downward cycle lasting several months, and the market might enter the 2026 "crypto winter" early.

Analyst Brett Knoblauch believes that Bitcoin has already retreated approximately 85 days from its recent high, and prices may continue to face pressure, even testing Strategy's average cost line of about $75,000.

However, unlike previous cycles, this downturn is unlikely to be accompanied by large-scale liquidations or a systemic crash. Cantor notes that the current market is dominated by institutions rather than retail investors, and the "divergence" between token price performance and on-chain fundamentals is widening, particularly in the areas of DeFi, tokenized assets, and crypto infrastructure.

On the regulatory front, the passage of the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is seen as a key turning point, expected to reduce policy uncertainty and encourage deeper participation from banks and asset management institutions in the crypto market.

Cantor concluded that although 2026 may not necessarily usher in a new bull market, while prices cool, the crypto industry's level of institutionalization, compliance path, and on-chain infrastructure are gradually being solidified.

【Hyperliquid Labs Prepares for First Round of HYPE Distribution, 1.2 Million Tokens Unstaked】

Bitpush News, Hyperliquid Labs is about to conduct the first round of HYPE token distribution. Approximately 1.2 million HYPE tokens (valued at about $31.2 million) have been unstaked and will be distributed to team members on January 6.

HYPE was officially launched via a community airdrop in November 2024. Concurrently, plans are to reserve approximately 23.8% of the total supply for core contributors, with these tokens unlocking gradually. The total supply cap for HYPE is 1 billion tokens. The current circulating supply of HYPE tokens is approximately 238.4 million. HYPE is currently trading at around $26, with a market capitalization of $6.2 billion and a fully diluted valuation of $25.1 billion. Over 61% of HYPE tokens remain locked.

"Teletubbies" Robot Cleaning Service, $30/Hour, Pure·Manual·Intelligence

Anthropomorphic "Teletubby" robot offers cleaning services in San Francisco at $30/hour, but it's entirely remote-controlled. The robot, created by startup Tau Robotics, can perform household tasks like washing hands, mopping floors, and taking out trash. While the initial demo videos appear impressive and are notably shown at normal speed (unlike many sped-up robot demos), the company reveals the actions are performed via human teleoperation, not autonomous AI. Tau Robotics, founded in 2024, argues this "cheat" is a strategic way to bridge the current capability gap, ensure task completion, and collect real-world home data to eventually train autonomous systems. Their service features three robot models: Chelsea for kitchens/bathrooms, Elon for regular tidying with memory, and Tony for deep cleaning. Priced at $30 per hour, it's cheaper than average human cleaners in the US. The article discusses the broader challenge of deploying humanoid robots in homes, comparing Tau's approach to others like China's Ziliang and the US's 1X Neo, which also use teleoperation. A key reason for choosing a humanoid form is to make remote control more intuitive for human operators. The piece also notes the potential "emotional value" of having a humanoid servant. The service is currently invite-only in San Francisco.

From South Korea to the United States: Blue-Collar Jobs Are Becoming Increasingly Popular, Thanks to AI

AI is reshaping the labor market's value proposition. The traditional four-year college degree is losing its appeal as a guaranteed career path, while skilled blue-collar trades like electricians, welders, and plumbers are experiencing historic demand and wage premiums. This shift is driven by dual pressures: AI's displacement of certain white-collar roles and a booming need for physical infrastructure and data center construction. Data confirms the trend. In the U.S., vocational school revenue surged, and a significant portion of recent layoffs are AI-related. Surveys show a majority of Gen Z adults plan to pursue blue-collar work, citing better job security against AI automation. Vocational education interest has exploded recently. Experts cite a psychological shift as younger generations seek tangible, AI-resistant careers and avoid high student debt. In many cases, salaries for skilled trades now match or exceed those requiring a bachelor's degree. In South Korea, semiconductor vocational high schools boast near-total employment, with graduates securing high-paying roles at companies like Samsung. The shortage is structural, exacerbated by a retiring baby boomer workforce and massive infrastructure projects. Companies like JPMorgan Chase, Meta, and Lowe's are investing heavily in training programs. However, overcoming historical stigma and a "perception gap" around trade careers remains a key challenge to closing the talent gap.

Qualcomm: AI Hype Subsides, When Will Smartphones Emerge from the Gloom?

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2026 results (ending June 2026), with revenue of $9.95B, down 4% YoY but above expectations. Gross margin declined to 53.1%, pressured by rising costs across manufacturing and memory. Key business segments showed mixed performance: Handset revenue fell 19.6% YoY to $5.09B, dragged by an 11% decline in non-Apple Android shipments and weaker high-end mix. Conversely, Automotive revenue surged 61% to $1.59B, and IoT grew 9% to $1.83B. Core operating profit dropped 41% YoY due to margin compression and higher expenses. Management's Q4 FY2026 guidance projects revenue of $9.7B-$10.5B, in line with consensus, but Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-$2.25 fell short of expectations. Amidst persistent weakness in its core handset market, Qualcomm is pursuing growth in AI, focusing on Edge AI (smartphones, PCs, automotive) and Data Center AI. Its data center strategy includes four pillars: AI accelerators (e.g., AI200), commercial CPUs (Dragonfly C1000), custom silicon, and connectivity solutions. While these initiatives initially boosted its stock, concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability have since erased those gains. The company targets $5B in data center revenue for FY2027 and $15B for FY2029. The report concludes that with the traditional handset business still under pressure, the data center opportunity is currently viewed as a longer-term option, and a more conservative valuation based on core operations may be warranted until AI contributions materialize.

From TPU to Self-Evolving Agents: How Jeff Dean Predicts the Next Step in AI

At the 2026 YC Startup School, Jeff Dean outlined his vision for AI's next phase, shifting focus from simply scaling models to building intelligent, autonomous systems. He believes AI's progress is no longer just about creating smarter models, but about integrating them into systems capable of long-term, iterative work, automated experimentation, and continuous learning. This evolution moves the competition from "who has the bigger model" to "who can best organize intelligence." Dean suggests AI capabilities are now comparable to a junior engineer, enabling the automation of complex workflows. However, the true challenge and opportunity lie in managing these AI "workers" at scale. He emphasizes the importance of **context engineering**—structuring tools, memory, and feedback loops—over raw model power. For startups, this means building deep expertise in niche domains where general models currently fail (near 0-1% success rates), leveraging proprietary data, specialized tools, and domain-specific evaluators. A recurring theme is re-examining fundamental constraints. Dean's past work, like moving Google's search index to memory or creating the TPU, stemmed from questioning outdated assumptions about hardware and cost. He sees similar inflection points today, particularly in **specialized inference hardware** to drastically reduce latency and energy consumption for real-time Agent operation. Notably, he points out that in modern AI systems, the dominant cost is often not computation but **data movement**. Reliable, long-running Agents require robust system design, borrowing concepts from distributed computing like checkpointing, state management, and parallel exploration to handle failures and maintain progress over days or weeks. As AI automates execution, the scarcest human skills will shift to **defining clear specifications**, **judging what problems are worth solving** (taste), and designing effective feedback loops. Ultimately, Dean's framework prioritizes understanding the problem deeply, identifying the true bottlenecks, and systematically building closed-loop systems where AI can not only perform tasks but also improve AI itself.

Coldcard exploit sparks Bitcoin flight, ‘bullish’ crypto consolidation: Hodler’s Digest, August 2

A Coldcard hardware wallet exploit led to estimated losses of 1,367 BTC ($88.6 million), causing a spike in small Bitcoin transfers as users moved funds to centralized exchanges and other custody methods. In U.S. politics, the Clarity Act faces hurdles with time running out for a Senate vote, amid debates over ethics rules and crypto regulation. Major crypto firms like Coinbase reported disappointing Q2 earnings, while an analyst notes the industry is entering a significant consolidation phase, with revenue concentrating in a few dominant protocols like Hyperliquid and Pump.fun. Bitcoin's price decline continued, though some analysts suggest the market may have bottomed. Other news includes Telegram's legal troubles in Russia and Australia, layoffs at Pump.fun ahead of token distributions, and a White House staffer accused of insider betting leaving his post.

Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios.
