A special Christmas/New Year event offers 100k points for activities like daily trading, high volume, and using Binance Wallet. **predict.fun**, founded by NFT influencer dingaling, allows users to earn yield on capital locked in predictions. It airdropped initial points to active BNB Chain users. Its first weekly points event concludes soon, with a second starting immediately after. **Probable**, incubated by PancakeSwap, focuses on a zero-fee, fully on-chain experience using UMA's Oracle for dispute resolution. It supports predictions on various events and allows deposits in any token, auto-swapped to USDT. A points system based on trading volume is imminent and is already tracking user activity.

Opinion: The Leader in BNB Chain's Prediction Market Ecosystem, Launched Christmas & New Year Points Activity Yesterday

Opinion is the first prediction market platform on the BNB Chain ecosystem. According to ROOTDATA data, Opinion announced the completion of a $5 million seed round financing on March 18 this year. This round was led by YZi Labs, with participation from echo, Animoca Ventures, Manifold, Amber Group, and others. Additionally, Opinion was one of the 4 best-performing projects in the previous Binance Labs MVB program.

Points Rules

Opinion points are allocated on a weekly basis, with a total of 100,000 points rewarded per week. The rules are as follows:

1. Trading volume requirement: ≥ $200 per week (and a single order ≥ $10) to be counted for points.

2. Holding time: The larger the position and the longer the holding time → the higher the points.

3. Liquidity orders (limit orders): Limit order amount ≥ $10 to count for points; the longer the order is placed and the closer the price is to the best bid/ask → the more points; limit orders have 0 fees and add points weight, making them the most stable way to earn points (market orders charge about 2% fees).

4. Trading volume and fees: The higher the transaction volume and the more fees contributed, the more points earned.

Christmas & New Year Points Activity

Yesterday (December 22), Opinion announced on platform X the launch of the Christmas & New Year points activity. Specific details are as follows:

  • Activity reward: A total of 100,000 points;
  • Activity period: From December 22 to January 5, 2026, lasting two weeks;
  • Ways to earn points: Daily Warriors, 20,000 points total (trade > 3 times daily, and meet the requirement for > 10 days); Volume Kings: 20,000 points total (daily trading volume > $2,000, and meet the requirement for > 10 days); Binance Wallet Elite: 10,000 points total (accumulated trading volume during the activity > $2,000); Diamond Hands: 20,000 points total; Mystery Finale: 30,000 points total.

Additionally, some notes on the ways to earn points:

  • Diamond Hands reward: Allocated based on the time-weighted open positions of all users during the activity period, data comes from regular platform snapshots;
  • Daily Warriors and Volume Kings rewards: Wallets that meet the corresponding daily trading threshold for at least 10 days during the activity period will share the respective rewards;
  • Binance Wallet Elite reward: Users who complete a cumulative trading volume > $2,000 during the activity period via Binance Wallet will share the reward. This reward requires using a keyless address or a newly imported wallet; old wallets already registered with OPINION are not eligible.

predict.fun: Founder is NFT field renowned figure dingaling, First Week Points Activity Ends Tonight at 10 PM

predict.fun is a prediction market platform launched on BNB Chain, founded by the previously well-known figure in the NFT field, dingaling. Unlike traditional prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, predict.fun has implemented a key innovation: funds used by users to participate in predictions are no longer idle but can simultaneously generate additional returns during the prediction period.

On December 17, predict.fun's founder dingaling announced on platform X that the platform is officially open and has airdropped initial points to Meme traders on BNB Chain, Aster participants, and active users of various prediction markets. (For more interaction tutorials, read: Step-by-Step Guide to Participating in CZ-Supported predict.fun)

Today, predict.fun officially announced on platform X that the first week points activity will end at 10 PM Beijing time tonight. Prediction points rewards and other additional airdrop rewards will be credited to users' personal accounts in 3 days, and the leaderboard will also be updated. Additionally, the second week points activity will start immediately after the first week activity ends.

Probable: Prediction Market Incubated by PancakeSwap, Points System Coming Soon

On December 16, PancakeSwap announced the launch of Probable, a fully on-chain prediction market platform incubated by them (platform language supports switching to Simplified Chinese). This project is jointly supported by PancakeSwap and YZi Labs and will be exclusively deployed on BNB Chain. PancakeSwap stated that Probable is an independent project, and its team will advance product development and ecosystem expansion with the support of PancakeSwap and YZi Labs.

According to the introduction, Probable is positioned as a user-centric on-chain prediction platform, featuring zero fees, fully on-chain settlement, and a simplified user experience. Initially, the platform will not charge prediction fees. Relying on BNB Chain's low-cost and high-performance infrastructure, it supports users to predict cryptocurrency trends, global events, sports events, and some regional characteristic markets.

At the mechanism level, Probable uses UMA's Optimistic Oracle as an event adjudication tool, achieving result confirmation through a dispute-based verification method to enhance the transparency and censorship resistance of the prediction market. Additionally, users can top up with any token, and the system will automatically exchange it for USDT on BNB Chain for participation in predictions, lowering the operational barrier.

Currently, Probable's points system has not yet been launched. According to official information, a new points system is coming soon. Points will be calculated based on users' trading volume, and the backend has already started counting and accumulating users' current trading volume.

Annual Salary of Millions Competing for Electricians, Meta Rushes to Open Its Own Technical School

The AI boom is facing an unexpected bottleneck: a severe shortage of skilled construction workers and electricians. As tech giants like Meta, OpenAI, and Alphabet race to build massive data centers—such as OpenAI's $16 billion "Stargate" project—they are hitting a critical labor wall. The U.S. needs an estimated 130,000 more electricians, 240,000 construction workers, and 150,000 supervisors by 2030 for AI infrastructure alone, but tens of thousands of electrician jobs go unfilled each year. While AI companies offer high premiums, with electricians earning up to $280,000 annually, worker scarcity still causes massive losses—delays on a single project can cost $14.2 million per month. The complexity of building AI data centers, which require immense power (equivalent to powering hundreds of thousands of homes), sophisticated electrical systems, and advanced liquid cooling solutions, demands highly skilled technicians who are in short supply. To combat this, companies are investing heavily in training. Meta has committed $115 million to a free training school offering tuition, housing, and stipends, targeting 5,000 new workers. OpenAI is partnering with unions to secure skilled labor. These efforts are paying off, with a significant rise in Gen Z interest in trade schools over college. However, the power demands are staggering. AI data centers are driving a rapid surge in electricity consumption, projected to account for up to 12% of U.S. power use by 2028 and raising costs for consumers. Furthermore, the construction boom is project-based, leading to a potential future glut of trained workers once building peaks, which could depress wages industry-wide. The race for AI supremacy now depends as much on skilled hands as on advanced chips.

OpenAI No Longer Sells Its Most Expensive Model for Profit

OpenAI is shifting its business strategy away from promoting its most expensive, flagship models for every task. Recent price cuts—80% for GPT-5.6 Luna and 20% for Terra—signal a deeper change: the company now actively advises users that many tasks don't require the most powerful model. Instead, OpenAI recommends a tiered approach: use the high-end GPT-5.6 Sol for complex planning and analysis, then delegate execution to cheaper models like Luna. This mirrors moves by Anthropic, which recently launched Claude Opus 5 at half the price of its top model, Fable 5. Both companies are de-emphasizing flagship models as primary revenue drivers, using them instead for brand prestige and technological showcases. The industry is entering a "mass-market" phase, similar to automotive, where high-volume, cost-effective models handle daily operations and drive scale. OpenAI's price reductions are partly enabled by AI models themselves optimizing underlying code and infrastructure, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of efficiency gains and cost reduction. Competition is shifting from "who is smartest" to "who offers the best value." The goal is no longer selling individual models but fostering widespread API adoption and ecosystem lock-in. By making AI calls cheap and ubiquitous, companies like OpenAI aim to become the indispensable, utility-like infrastructure powering automated workflows—the "water and electricity" of software, quietly embedded everywhere.

Suspected 4th Coldcard attack wave sweeps 389 Bitcoin: Galaxy’s Thorn

Coldcard hardware wallet users are facing a new wave of coordinated attacks targeting a firmware flaw, with researcher Alex Thorn flagging 218 recent transactions moving approximately 389 Bitcoin from potentially impacted addresses. The attack pattern shows a high rate of transactions targeting unique victim addresses, differing from previous waves. The vulnerability, which causes affected devices to generate weaker wallet seeds, is estimated to have impacted over 1,100 wallets, leading to around $90 million in Bitcoin stolen. Thorn advises affected users who control their keys may attempt to move funds with a higher-fee transaction before the attacker's transactions are confirmed.

Bitcoin Miners Are Waving the White Flag, But Their Stocks Are Soaring

Bitcoin miners are capitulating as evidenced by a sustained drop in network hash rate and a record-steep 19.9% decline in mining difficulty, signaling the shuttering of unprofitable machines. However, in a significant divergence from historical patterns, the stocks of publicly traded mining companies have soared, with one major player gaining over 430% in the past year, even as BTC's price fell roughly 46%. This surge is largely attributed to these companies pivoting toward the more lucrative AI narrative. Simultaneously, miners face a structural squeeze. Daily block reward revenue in BTC terms has hit a new all-time low following the latest halving, with current dollar-denominated daily revenue around $30 million compared to a longer-term average of ~$40 million. Fee revenue remains negligible, covering less than one block's subsidy over a 28-day average and accounting for only about ten minutes of the network's daily security budget. This capitulation cycle is unique: miner stress and crypto price weakness have decoupled due to alternative revenue streams (AI), while the long-term reliance on increasing bitcoin prices to offset shrinking subsidies continues, with fee income still far from filling the impending gap.

Will the Fed Definitely Raise Interest Rates in September? How Will Crypto and U.S. Stocks Withstand the Pressure?

The market's expectation for a September Fed rate hike surged dramatically in early August, jumping from under 50% to over 80% within a week. This shift followed a contentious July FOMC meeting, where a 9-3 vote to hold rates revealed growing dissent from hawkish members advocating for an immediate hike to combat persistent inflation. The primary catalyst for this repricing is rising oil prices, driven by renewed geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, which threaten global supply. Energy costs directly influence inflation metrics, making the upcoming July CPI report (due August 12th) a critical data point. If it shows inflation reaccelerating, the probability of a September hike will solidify. For Bitcoin and crypto assets, this is typically bearish news. Bitcoin continues to behave as a high-beta, liquidity-sensitive risk asset. A rate hike raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets and could drive capital toward money markets, pressuring crypto prices in the short term. However, historical patterns suggest that if a hike is perceived as the end of a tightening cycle rather than the start, any negative price impact may be brief. U.S. stocks, particularly crypto-linked equities like Coinbase and growth-oriented tech stocks, are also vulnerable. Higher rates increase discount rates in valuation models, putting pressure on high-multiple companies. This coincides with a pivotal tech earnings season where investor focus has shifted from massive AI capital expenditure to tangible revenue and cash flow generation. Companies with negative cash flow and weak growth narratives could face heightened volatility if borrowing costs rise in September. In summary, a September Fed hike has evolved into a mainstream market scenario. Key factors to watch are oil prices, the July CPI report, and Fed communications, which will determine the final decision and its impact on volatile crypto and equity markets.
