Cardano Approves Critical Integrations Budget In Key Governance Vote

Cardano's governance body has approved the "Critical Integrations Budget Info Action" with strong support, a key step to fund and execute priority ecosystem integrations. The proposal received 6 out of 7 Constitutional Committee approvals and over 85% DRep support. This approval shifts focus to the Treasury Withdrawal Action, where the proposal moves from intent to on-chain execution. Two major integrations were confirmed under this framework: Pyth Network will provide real-time market data to support DeFi applications like lending and derivatives, while Dune will integrate Cardano data into a shared analytics platform for easier analysis and comparison. EMURGO emphasized that this governance milestone reflects strong ecosystem alignment and sets the stage for 2026 execution. The next critical test will be maintaining this support during the treasury withdrawal phase, transitioning consensus into actual spending.

Is TRUMP being soft-rugged? On-chain data points to a $94mln exit

The team behind the "official" TRUMP memecoin has withdrawn approximately $94 million in USDC from its liquidity pools over three weeks, transferring the funds to Coinbase. Rather than a sudden hard rug pull, they used a calculated soft-unwinding method via the Meteora DLMM on Solana, strategically selling TRUMP tokens without causing an immediate price crash. This mirrors the same tactic used for the MELANIA token. TRUMP has collapsed over 90% from its peak, trading at $4.94 by December 31st, signaling a severe loss of market confidence and raising questions about the viability of Trump-branded crypto ventures.

Pi Network Temporarily Halts Wallet Payment Requests Amid Rising Scams

Pi Network has temporarily disabled its wallet payment request feature due to widespread scams. Scammers were impersonating official accounts and targeting high-balance wallets, tricking users into approving fraudulent requests, resulting in irreversible losses. Over a million PI tokens have been stolen this year, with one wallet receiving more than 838,000 tokens. The Pi Core Team clarified that the issue stems from user approval, not a system vulnerability, and emphasized that this is a common risk across crypto wallets. The token’s value dropped 10% following the incident but has since shown slight recovery. Recent updates include standardized KYC and testnet DEX improvements to enhance security and liquidity.

Ratification Advances Confirmed Integrations for Cardano, ADA Price to Show Reflections Later

The Cardano ecosystem has ratified the Critical Integrations Budget Info Action, receiving approval from 6 out of 7 Constitutional Committee members and 85% of DReps. This paves the way for the Cardano Foundation to proceed with key integrations, specifically with Pyth Network for real-time institutional market data and Dune for enhanced data analytics and accessibility. These developments are expected to support long-term ecosystem growth, though the ADA price has not yet reacted positively. Currently trading at $0.3514, ADA is down 0.54% in 24 hours. However, projections suggest a potential 35.22% increase in the next 30 days and a 45.91% rise by March 2026, despite current bearish sentiment and high volatility.

Inside Neo Blockchain Fallout: Co-Founders Trade Barbs Over Money and Power

Neo blockchain co-founders Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang are engaged in a public dispute over financial transparency and governance. Zhang accuses Hongfei of withholding financial reports for years and demands full disclosure of the Neo Foundation's assets and expenditures. He also states that Hongfei will step back from Neo mainnet operations starting January 1, 2026, to focus on side projects. Hongfei counters that Zhang controls the majority of NEO and GAS tokens and has refused to transfer them to multi-signature wallets despite previous agreements. Both claim to act in Neo’s best interests, but the conflict has raised concerns about governance and trust within the community. The disagreement underscores ongoing tensions in the project's management since its rebrand from Antshares in 2017.

Grayscale Files First U.S. Bittensor ETF, TAO Eyes $300

Grayscale Investments has filed with the SEC to launch the first U.S. spot ETF for Bittensor's native token, TAO. The proposed fund, Grayscale Bittensor Trust (ticker: GTAO), aims to trade on NYSE Arca, offering regulated exposure to TAO. This news propelled TAO's price above $220, with traders speculating a potential rally toward $300 by early 2026. The filing follows Bittensor's recent halving event, which reduced new token issuance. Technically, TAO is consolidating above the key $220 support level, with mixed momentum indicators suggesting market indecision. Approval of the ETF would significantly increase institutional access to the AI-linked token.

Crypto Market Rebounds as BTC Nears $89K, ETF Inflows Surge

The cryptocurrency market is rebounding as the year ends, with prices recovering and significant tokens like BTC, ETH, and SOL leading the surge. Bitcoin is nearing $89,000, while Ether reached $2,900. Other altcoins, including Canton and Humanity Protocol, saw gains of 14% and 12%, respectively. The recovery follows weeks of decline and is bolstered by increased institutional demand, evidenced by a net inflow of $428 million into crypto ETFs on December 30. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $355 million, with ETH and XRP following. This resurgence in ETF activity has stabilized prices and renewed market optimism, further supported by new ETF filings from Bitwise and Grayscale.

TRUMP Deployer Sends $94M USDC to Coinbase in Three Weeks

Wallets linked to the TRUMP memecoin deployer have transferred $94 million in USDC to Coinbase over three weeks, using a single-sided liquidity strategy on Meteora to minimize market impact. This coordinated approach, also seen with MELIANA tokens, allows gradual conversion to stablecoins without drastic price drops. Despite being listed on major exchanges like Binance and OKX, TRUMP has seen significant token inflows—over 12.54 million tokens worth $150.7 million this year—raising supply concerns. The token trades at $4.96, down 93% from its January peak of $73. Ongoing exchange movements and a $1 million gaming promotion face skepticism amid regulatory and political scrutiny, with Donald Trump’s crypto holdings adding over $1.2 billion to his net worth.

In the final week of 2025, the cryptocurrency market saw a broad recovery across multiple sectors, including AI, privacy, and meme tokens, driven by positive macro sentiment and holiday trading activity.

ZEC (Zcash), a established privacy coin, also climbed 22%. Meme tokens showed seasonal strength, with DONKEY (BSC-based, +21%), MYRO (Solana-based, +29%), and HIPPO (Sui-based, +33%) all posting gains. Other notable performers included DeFi and L1 assets: 0G (Zero Gravity, +38%), SPK (Spark, +17%), and XPL (Plasma, +25%).
