The New York Times: After Trump's Return to the White House, Major Retreat in SEC's Crypto Lawsuits

In a significant policy reversal following Donald Trump's return to the White House, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dramatically scaled back its enforcement actions against the cryptocurrency industry. An investigation by The New York Times found that over 60% of ongoing crypto-related cases were either paused, settled favorably, or dropped entirely under the new administration. Key findings include the SEC dropping seven crypto cases, five of which involved firms with known financial ties to Trump. An additional seven cases saw reduced charges or lenient settlements, with three linked to Trump associates. The remaining nine active cases involve entities with no known connection to the former president. The SEC stated its shift was based on legal and policy considerations, not political favoritism, citing long-standing internal opposition to many crypto lawsuits. However, the timing coincides with Trump’s pro-crypto stance and his family’s business ventures in the sector, including the World Liberty Financial project. Notable cases dropped or softened include those against Binance, Ripple Labs, and Gemini Trust. The latter is operated by the Winklevoss twins, who have financial and business ties to the Trump family. While no direct evidence of presidential pressure was found, the pattern suggests a stark departure from the aggressive enforcement seen under the Biden administration. The policy shift has raised concerns among former SEC officials about investor protection and market integrity, while the crypto sector celebrates reduced regulatory pressure.

MoveBit Research Release | Belobog: A Move Fuzzing Framework for Real-World Attacks

MoveBit introduces Belobog, a novel fuzzing framework designed specifically for Move smart contracts to address security challenges beyond syntax and type errors. Unlike traditional fuzzing methods that struggle with Move’s strong type system and resource semantics, Belobog leverages type-guided input generation and mutation. It constructs a type graph to produce semantically valid and executable transaction calls, significantly improving the efficiency and depth of state exploration. The framework integrates concolic execution (combining concrete and symbolic execution) to penetrate complex constraints and branch conditions, enabling deeper coverage of potential vulnerabilities. Evaluated on 109 real-world Move contracts, Belobog detected 100% of Critical and 79% of Major vulnerabilities confirmed by manual audits. It also demonstrated the ability to reproduce full exploit paths without prior knowledge of vulnerabilities. Designed to be developer-friendly, Belobog will be released as open-source to encourage community adoption and extension. The work is currently under peer review for PLDI’26.

From Mining to Prediction Markets: CoinShares' 2026 Crypto Roadmap

CoinShares' 2026 Crypto Roadmap highlights a significant shift from speculative investments to utility-driven projects. Key trends include a strong recovery in crypto VC funding, which has surpassed 2024 levels, with capital concentrating on large-scale deals focused on real-world utility and cash flow. Four major investment themes for 2026 are identified: RWA (especially stablecoins), AI-integrated consumer applications, retail-focused on-chain investment platforms, and Bitcoin utility infrastructure. Prediction markets, led by platforms like Polymarket, have evolved into mainstream information tools, demonstrating high accuracy and growing institutional adoption, notably with ICE's strategic investment. Bitcoin mining is undergoing a fundamental transformation, with companies pivot to high-profit HPC/AI data centers, expected to reduce mining revenue to under 20% by late 2026. Future mining will diversify into models led by ASIC manufacturers, modular operations, intermittent grid-balancing mining, and sovereign-state mining. The industry is moving towards practical, infrastructure-focused growth, distancing from meme coins and purely conceptual projects.

Bitcoin slides 4.5% as Asia session weakness amplifies $652M liquidations

On December 16th, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 4.5% to $85.7k, influenced by weakness in Asian equity markets. The crypto market saw $652 million in liquidations, with Ethereum experiencing more liquidations than Bitcoin. Analysts noted that the sell-off was amplified by high-leverage positions rather than spot selling, causing a cascade of forced liquidations. Despite a minor rebound, the market remains volatile. Rising Open Interest and the Estimated Leverage Ratio indicate increased speculative activity and potential for further downside. The $84k support level is at risk, and a sustained recovery is not yet evident, with the market phase still in a transitional and bearish state.

Bitcoin sharks stack at the fastest pace in 13 years, with BTC down 30%

Bitcoin (BTC) has declined 30% from its peak of $126,200 and is trading just above $85,000, raising concerns of a further drop toward $70,000. Despite this, on-chain data shows that mid-sized holders, known as "sharks" (holding 100–1,000 BTC), accumulated 54,000 BTC in the past week—the fastest pace since 2012. This suggests strong buying interest from high-net-worth and institutional investors during the dip. Historically, similar accumulation patterns in 2011 and 2012 preceded major rallies. However, large whales (holders of 10,000+ BTC) have been significant sellers over the past two months, creating selling pressure that outweighs shark demand. Analysts note record institutional buying is being absorbed by long-term holders selling at unusually high rates. This imbalance may cap near-term upside. Additionally, a breakdown below parabolic support could lead to further declines, with one analyst suggesting a potential drop to $25,000 if historical patterns repeat.

Despite these massive purchases, Bitcoin's price has declined, falling around 4.5% in the past week to approximately $86,000. The acquisitions were funded through sales of the company's stock offerings.

Fed Candidates Warsh and Hassett: Who Is More Beneficial for Us?

Amidst inflation pressures and geopolitical uncertainty in 2025, the potential successors to the U.S. Federal Reserve Chair—Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett—present sharply contrasting policy approaches. Warsh, a former Fed governor with a hawkish stance, emphasizes financial stability, market discipline, and inflation control, advocating for cautious monetary tightening and reduced intervention risks. In contrast, Hassett, a former White House economic advisor and dovish figure, supports aggressive rate cuts, growth-oriented policies, and closer alignment with presidential agendas, potentially benefiting markets and cryptocurrencies. Market predictions show narrowing odds, with Warsh gaining traction post-Trump’s endorsement, though Hassett retains advantages due to his political ties. The selection will significantly influence long-term economic stability versus short-term growth, testing the Fed’s independence and global financial resilience.
