From Left-Hand to Right-Hand Related-Party Transactions to Infiltrating Wall Street and the White House: What Power Game Is Tether Playing?

Recent reports reveal Tether's complex internal transactions and growing political ties, raising questions about its corporate governance and influence. Tether’s subsidiary Northern Data sold its bitcoin mining unit, Peak Mining, for $200 million to entities controlled by Tether’s own executives—co-founder Giancarlo Devasini and CEO Paolo Ardoino. This “left-hand-to-right-hand” deal, structured through loosely regulated markets, avoided disclosure as a related-party transaction. The timing coincided with Rumble’s $760 million acquisition plan for Northern Data. Tether, which holds 48% of Rumble, appears to have stripped high-volatility mining assets to present Northern Data as a pure AI cloud provider, likely boosting its valuation. A €610 million loan from Tether to Northern Data was reconfigured in the deal—partly converted into Rumble shares and partly into a new loan backed by Northern Data’s assets. Tether also has deep ties with Wall Street and U.S. politics. Cantor Fitzgerald’s CEO Howard Lutnick, now U.S. Secretary of Commerce, previously backed Tether’s reserves and negotiated a $600 million convertible note deal—a move criticized as a conflict of interest. Despite Lutnick’s assurances of stricter oversight, concerns remain about Tether’s influence. With an estimated $15 billion profit at a 99% margin this year, Tether is expanding into AI, media, and even sports. Critics question whether its profits serve the crypto ecosystem or a closed wealth cycle for its executives. Through strategic deals and political connections, Tether is building an empire that merges financial power with regulatory influence.

Arthur Hayes Claims Bitcoin Will Rally to $200,000, Despite Crypto Becoming ‘Worst Performing’ Asset of 2025

Arthur Hayes, a millionaire investor, predicts Bitcoin could surge to $200,000 despite cryptocurrencies being the worst-performing asset class in 2025. He attributes this potential rally to the Federal Reserve’s Reserve Management Purchases (RMP) program, which he equates to quantitative easing, arguing it will inject significant liquidity into markets. Hayes expects Bitcoin to trade between $80,000 and $100,000 until the new year before sharply rising as investors recognize the scale of monetary expansion. He also anticipates further support from global central banks easing policies. However, crypto has underperformed traditional assets like gold and silver this year, with Bitcoin down 6% year-to-date. Technical analysts warn Bitcoin may still face a corrective phase, with potential downside toward $69,000–$71,400, and note that holiday trading rarely alters broader market trends.

How the Base Blockchain Ecosystem Works. Top 5 Applications

Base, a Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase exchange, has become the largest L2 protocol by total value locked (TVL) in 2025, with over $4.35 billion in user deposits. A key differentiator is its lack of a native token, though its development team has confirmed plans to issue one. Base also led all L2s in cumulative revenue, generating over $80 million, and is second only to BNB Chain in monthly active users. The article highlights five key applications in its ecosystem: 1. **Aerodrome**: The leading DEX on Base with $440 million in deposits, operating on a ve(3,3) model. It is the primary liquidity hub and plans to merge with Velodrome. 2. **Virtuals Protocol**: A platform for creating, tokenizing, and monetizing autonomous AI agents, forming an "agent economy" powered by its VIRTUAL token. 3. **Clanker**: An AI agent tool for instantly deploying memecoins via text prompts on Farcaster, having launched over 500,000 tokens and generating nearly $50 million in fees. 4. **Limitless**: The largest prediction market on Base, with over $550 million in volume, allowing users to bet on event outcomes. 5. **Zora**: A social network that transforms user content into tradable tokens on Base, with creators earning a share of trading fees. Its integration with the Base App has increased its prominence. The ecosystem is noted for its high user activity and significant financial metrics, positioning Base as a major player in the L2 space.

Three signs that Bitcoin is finding its market bottom

Bitcoin (BTC) may be approaching a local bottom after falling over 35% from its recent all-time high. Key signals suggest selling pressure is fading. The weekly Stochastic RSI has turned up from oversold levels—a pattern seen near major historical bottoms. A bullish divergence on the three-day chart, where price made a lower but momentum did not, further supports this. Miners are showing signs of capitulation, with a 4% drop in hash rate over 30 days—a historically bullish signal that has preceded strong medium-term returns. Macro conditions also hint at a potential reversal. The National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) suggests a Bitcoin rally could begin within 4–6 weeks, similar to past cycles. Despite these positive signs, some analysts still predict further downside, with targets as low as $70,000–$25,000.

Calm on the Crypto Market. Why and What's Next

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a period of calm, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices showing minimal movement, down less than 1% to approximately $87,000 and $2,930 respectively. The majority of the top 100 cryptocurrencies saw price changes within a narrow 4% range, while the total market cap held steady near $2.95 trillion. Analysts from Wintermute note that despite sustained demand from institutional investors, retail traders are shifting from altcoins to Bitcoin and Ethereum, a move attributed to reduced liquidity ahead of the holidays. They argue that this institutional adoption lays a foundation for mid-term price growth, but emphasize that a Bitcoin rally must occur first to renew investor interest in riskier altcoins. This cautiously optimistic outlook is supported by VanEck, whose analysts predict a high likelihood of price increases in the next six months based on historical correlations between Bitcoin's hash rate and its price. However, short-term sentiment remains negative. The crypto fear and greed index is in the "extreme fear" zone at 24/100, indicating a prevailing tendency toward selling. This is reflected in capital outflows, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing a net outflow of nearly $188 million and Ethereum ETFs losing $95 million on December 23rd, marking the third consecutive session of outflows for Bitcoin funds.

Is RWA Entering the 'Equity Era'? The Backstory Behind Securitize, Ondo, and Coinbase's Simultaneous Moves

RWA is entering an "equity era," marked by a significant shift in focus from major players Securitize, Ondo, and Coinbase toward equity tokenization (Equity RWA). This synchronized move is not coincidental but is driven by clear regulatory direction. In December 2025, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the U.S. financial markets would migrate to blockchain within two years, a sentiment echoed by Nasdaq's plans for on-chain stock trading. Industry consensus is converging on an on-chain capital market future, with leaders from Maple Finance and Binance emphasizing RWA's potential to bridge blockchain with real-world assets. While private credit and U.S. Treasuries currently dominate RWA due to their regulatory clarity and stability, large institutions are now progressing toward equities. Each platform offers a distinct approach: Ondo provides tokenized stocks with liquidity directly backed by Nasdaq and NYSE-listed shares, targeting non-U.S. investors. Securitize is developing a fully compliant, native on-chain equity model where tokens represent direct shareholder rights. Coinbase is integrating stock trading into its platform, aiming to create a unified financial super-app for diverse assets. This collective pivot signals that on-chain equity is transitioning from an exploratory concept to a structurally significant component of the future financial system, representing a major milestone in RWA's evolution.

The Four-Year Cycle Concludes, Crypto Market Embarks on a Decade-Long Protracted War

In a recent article, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan addresses the question of whether Bitcoin's historical four-year cycle—characterized by three years of gains followed by a crash in the fourth—remains relevant. He argues that the cycle, driven by factors like Bitcoin halvings, interest rate spikes, and post-bubble crashes, is losing significance due to changing conditions. The 2026 halving may have reduced impact, interest rates are likely to decrease, and the market hasn’t seen the extreme euphoria of previous cycles. Instead, Hougan proposes a "decade-long grinding advance" as the new framework, where sustained positive forces—such as institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and real-world applications like stablecoins—gradually outweigh intermittent negative shocks like macroeconomic events or leverage-induced selloffs. This shift suggests more moderate long-term returns, lower volatility, and periodic 20-40% corrections, marking a maturation of the crypto market since the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024. Investors should expect a prolonged tug-of-war between these forces, requiring patience and a focus on fundamentals despite short-term downturns.

Bitcoin due gains after record $24B options expiry lifts 'lid' on BTC price

Bitcoin (BTC) price remained rangebound near $87,000, contrasting with record highs in gold and silver. A record $23.7 billion Bitcoin options expiry event on Friday is expected to trigger significant price movement, with analysts suggesting it has been suppressing volatility. Post-expiry, some predict a move toward $100,000. Meanwhile, traders describe the current state as a "waiting game," anticipating that capital will eventually rotate from precious metals back into cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH once their rally reverses.

2025 Meme Coin Rankings: From 'Banger' to 'Trash'

2025 was a landmark year for meme coins, marked by explosive growth followed by a significant decline. The article ranks the most notable meme coins of the year using a tiered system—from "夯" (exceptional) to "拉完了" (complete failure)—based on criteria like peak market cap, drawdown from all-time high, number of price surges, growth speed, influence, and narrative strength. Topping the "夯" tier is **TRUMP**, the personal token of the U.S. President, which reached a $90 billion market cap and created unprecedented wealth despite a 94% drop. Other standouts include **币安人生** (Binance Life), a culturally significant Chinese meme, and **MUBARAK**, which benefited from CZ’s deep involvement and shifted meme activity to BSC. The "顶级" (top-tier) category features coins like **B**, which leveraged the USD1 stablecoin narrative, and **哈基米**, the second-largest Chinese meme with strong community support. **GIGGLE**, associated with CZ’s educational project, also made this tier. Lower tiers include "人上人" (notable but flawed) coins like **MELANIA** (Trump’s wife’s token, down 99.4%) and "NPC" (generic) tokens such as **客服小何** (Customer Service Xiao He), which faded after initial hype. The worst performers, in the "拉完了" tier, include **LIBRA** (issued by the Argentine President, down 99.9%) and **BOOP**, the token of the failed launchpad boop.fun. Overall, 2025 saw over 8 million meme coins created, but declining activity on platforms like pump.fun and Four.meme signaled the sector's cooling momentum. The rankings reflect both legendary successes and dramatic failures in a highly speculative market.

Russia Unveils New Crypto Framework For Retail And Qualified Investors

Russia's central bank has unveiled a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, with implementation set for July 2026. The rules will allow both retail and qualified investors to purchase cryptocurrencies through licensed intermediaries. Retail investors can buy up to 300,000 rubles (approx. $3,800) annually in liquid cryptocurrencies after passing a knowledge test, while qualified investors face no limits but must pass a risk-awareness evaluation. The central bank maintains that cryptocurrencies are high-risk assets. The move follows President Putin's comments on reducing foreign currency reliance, and a new law now classifies digital currencies as property for tax purposes, exempting mining and sales from VAT. Bitcoin mining is acknowledged as a small but meaningful factor in supporting the ruble.
