Polymarket trading figures are being ‘double-counted ’: Paradigm

According to a Paradigm researcher, reported trading activity and volume on the prediction market platform Polymarket have been significantly inflated due to a data bug causing double-counting. The issue stems from Polymarket's complex onchain data, which emits redundant "OrderFilled" events for both makers and takers in a single trade. Major dashboards, including DefiLlama and Dune Analytics, mistakenly counted these as separate trades. This error impacts both notional and cashflow volume metrics. The discovery raises questions about Polymarket's recently reported success, including a $9 billion valuation from ICE based on potentially overstated volume figures. The researcher calls for more consistent and transparent reporting standards as prediction markets mature.

Why is Crypto the Key Infrastructure for the Large-Scale Adoption of AI Agents?

Why Crypto is Key Infrastructure for AI Agent Mass Adoption For AI Agents to become widely deployable autonomous software, they require two core capabilities: composability and verifiability. These are inherently lacking in traditional Web2 systems but are natively provided by cryptocurrency networks. AI's future lies not in isolated models but in agents that automatically call services, compose with other agents, write code, test, and execute decisions involving financial actions. This agent composability depends on verifiability—knowing another agent executed as promised. Web2 infrastructure (APIs and SaaS) fails here due to black-box operations, mutable data, unprovable results, centralized audits, and manual settlements. Cryptocurrency provides the missing verified base layer through: 1. Verifiable Execution: Smart contracts and ZK proofs enable transparent, provable on/off-chain actions. 2. Verifiable Identity: DIDs and signed agent code ensure trust and integrity. 3. Verifiable Value Transfer: Automated payments, revenue sharing, collateralization, and penalties enable direct fund management without intermediaries. As AI evolves from code generation to full-cycle automation (writing, testing, running, fixing), especially with real-world financial impact, crypto becomes essential. It enables automatic penalties for failures, rewards for contributions, multi-agent settlements, and trustless coordination—making AI economically viable beyond demos. In short: AI enables autonomy; crypto makes autonomy trustworthy. Without crypto's verifiability, AI agents cannot operate reliably at scale in the real economy.

Ripple's Bullish Sentiment Grows: What Will Trigger XRP's Breakthrough to $2.65?

Ripple (XRP) is experiencing a surge in bullish sentiment, with analysts predicting a potential breakout to $2.65. Over the past 24 hours, XRP’s price increased by 3%, climbing 15.5% from its November 21 low to reach $2.10. Several factors are driving this optimism, including growing institutional demand, shifting trader sentiment, and a bullish technical pattern. Institutional interest is rising, with XRP exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracting $245 million in inflows in the week ending December 5. According to CoinShares, year-to-date inflows have reached $3.1 billion, far surpassing 2024’s total of $608 million. Spot XRP ETFs in the U.S. have also seen consistent inflows, recording $10.23 million on Friday and extending a 15-day streak of net inflows. Cumulative inflows are nearing $900 million, with assets under management (AUM) hitting $861.3 million. Crypto investor Giannis Andreou noted that this accumulation often precedes a market shift. Trader sentiment is increasingly bullish. XRP’s daily funding rate turned positive at 0.0189%, indicating that most traders are opening long positions. On Binance, the long/short ratio shows 72% of accounts are bullish, though this introduces liquidation risks. Similarly, on Hyperliquid, 72% of XRP exposure is long, totaling $94.5 million, compared to $37.6 million in short positions. Technically, XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the four-hour chart. A sustained close above the $2.15 trendline could trigger a 27% rally to $2.65. Analysts note that a daily close above $2.30 would confirm the breakout, potentially pushing prices toward $2.58, provided the $2.00 support level holds.

After a Valuation of $1 Billion and Five Years of Exploration, Why Did It 'Admit Defeat'?

After five years of development and raising $180 million at a near $1 billion valuation, Farcaster has officially conceded that its Web3 social strategy did not succeed. The platform, initially designed as a decentralized alternative to Twitter, aimed to address issues like platform monopoly, user data ownership, and creator monetization through an on-chain, protocol-based approach. Despite a brief surge in early 2024—when monthly active users (MAU) peaked at around 80,000—growth quickly stalled. MAU has since declined to under 20,000 by late 2025. Farcaster’s user base remained heavily concentrated within the crypto-native community, failing to attract mainstream users due to high barriers to entry, niche content, and inferior user experience compared to established platforms like X or Instagram. Co-founder Dan Romero announced a strategic pivot from social-first to a wallet-focused product, acknowledging that social alone wasn’t driving sustainable growth. Internal data showed that wallet features—used for transactions, trading, and interacting with dApps—consistently outperformed social modules in user retention and frequency. The shift reflects a broader realization: It’s easier to add social features to a wallet than to build a social product around crypto. While the move has sparked some community discontent, Farcaster is betting that deeper integration with on-chain utilities represents a more viable path to product-market fit.
