ETH, SOL, and BTC Shorts Record Profits, Will They Reverse Ongoing Decline?

Shorts on ETH, SOL, and BTC have recorded significant profits amid a sharp market downturn. Two major traders, identified as 0x20c2 and 0x35d1, made $102.7 million and $55.5 million respectively by shorting these cryptocurrencies. This occurred as ETH, SOL, and BTC fell by approximately 7.39%, 6.16%, and 7.44% within 24 hours, dragging the overall crypto market cap down by 6.93% to around $2.39 trillion. The Fear and Greed Index sits at a low 11 points, reflecting extreme fear. Concurrently, corrections in Gold and Silver prices may lead some investors to reconsider shifting allocations toward traditional safe-haven assets. The broader sentiment remains cautious, with some traders predicting further declines for Bitcoin.

Profits Fall by a Quarter: Why Tether Abandoned Its $20 Billion Financing Plan

In the face of a cooling crypto market and investor skepticism, Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, has significantly scaled back its ambitious fundraising plans. Initially targeting $15-20 billion, which would have valued the company at $500 billion, the firm is now considering raising only about $5 billion. CEO Paolo Ardoino downplayed the original target, calling it a "misunderstanding" and a maximum cap, not a goal, while emphasizing that Tether is highly profitable and doesn't urgently need the capital. Despite the success of its USDT stablecoin, which has a market cap of approximately $185 billion, Tether faces persistent investor caution. Concerns revolve around its $500 billion valuation—comparable to major AI firms and SpaceX—ongoing regulatory scrutiny, and the lack of a full independent audit, relying instead on quarterly attestations. Ardoino defended the valuation, contrasting Tether's substantial profits with the losses of highly-valued AI companies. While new U.S. stablecoin legislation and competitor Circle's IPO have boosted momentum, regulatory risks and Tether's controversial history remain hurdles. The company's profits fell by about a quarter in 2025, attributed to declining Bitcoin prices, though it gained $8-10 billion from its gold holdings. Tether's massive scale has made it a major player in U.S. Treasuries and gold markets, positioning it as a critical bridge between traditional finance and the volatile crypto world.

Tether Smashes Q4 Records as Crypto Slows — $187B, 534M Users, $4.4T Move

Tether's Q4 2025 attestation, audited by BDO, reported record growth despite a broader crypto market slowdown. USDT's market cap reached $187.3 billion, with over $10 billion in annual profit driven by U.S. Treasury interest and diversified assets. The user base grew to 534.5 million, adding 35.2 million new users, while on-chain transfers hit a record $4.4 trillion in volume. However, Tether scaled back its fundraising target from $20 billion to $5 billion due to investor pushback and valuation concerns. Despite a 23.7% market decline in Q4, USDT dominance in stablecoin markets grew, accounting for 65.9% of transactions and 61.5% of centralized exchange spot trading.

Tether’s Fundraising Plans Quietly Collapse — Is the $500B Valuation Too Much?

Tether's ambitious plan to raise $15-20 billion at a $500 billion valuation has collapsed due to investor skepticism and market volatility. The company, issuer of the USDT stablecoin, saw a 23% drop in net profit to $10 billion in 2025, further dampening investor confidence. Amid a broader crypto market downturn and concerns over its valuation and revenue sustainability, Tether has scaled back its fundraising ambitions. The firm is now testing appetite for a smaller raise but maintains its $500 billion target, which critics deem overly ambitious. The failure to secure commitments signals a significant setback for its expansion into AI, commodities, and energy infrastructure.

Japanese Banking Giant Cuts Crypto Bets After Q3 Profit Slump

Japan's largest brokerage firm Nomura announced it will temporarily reduce its cryptocurrency trading positions following a 10% decline in net income for the third quarter ending December 31. The profit slump, partly attributed to trading losses at its European crypto subsidiary Laser Digital, prompted tighter risk controls and position limits to manage earnings volatility. Despite this short-term pullback, Nomura remains committed to its long-term digital asset strategy, with Laser Digital actively seeking to expand services internationally, including applying for a U.S. trust bank charter. The firm aims to balance immediate risk management with continued development of crypto infrastructure and institutional services.

What Are the Most Profitable CEOs in Crypto Doing Right Now?

Amid a wave of new stablecoin launches, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino is leading a strategic shift toward regulatory compliance and mainstream legitimacy. The company recently introduced USAT, its first fully U.S.-regulated stablecoin, directly competing with Circle’s USDC. This marks a departure from Tether’s controversial past, during which it faced allegations of opacity and facilitating illicit activities. Ardoino emphasizes Tether’s collaboration with U.S. agencies like the FBI and Secret Service, highlighting its ability to freeze illicit transactions—$3.5 billion has been frozen to date. He defends Tether’s record, noting its resilience during crises like the TerraLuna collapse and its rapid processing of massive redemptions. With over $300 billion in excess reserves and a user base of 536 million—growing by 30 million per quarter—Tether’s influence is substantial. Ardoino positions the company not just as a stablecoin issuer but as a broader force for financial inclusion, especially in economies with hyperinflation. Beyond stablecoins, Tether is expanding into gold-backed tokens, holding roughly 140 tons of gold, and investing heavily in AI, robotics, and infrastructure. Its decentralized AI platform, Qvac, aims to serve underserved populations. Ardoino envisions Tether as a stability-focused entity, akin to a sovereign wealth fund, built to endure political and economic shifts.

From 100U to the Pinnacle of Glory—A Dialogue with 'Kid', Champion Trader of Huobi HTX's 'New Asset Battle for Glory': A Full Disclosure of the Trinity Trading Strategy of 'Position, Rhythm, and Timing'

In the Huobi HTX "New Asset Trading Championship," the trader known as "Kid" emerged as the champion, starting with just 100 USDT and achieving top returns in the highly volatile new asset sector. His success was attributed not to aggressive speculation but to a disciplined strategy, strict risk management, and a calm mindset. Kid emphasized a tripartite core strategy: position sizing, rhythm control, and timing. He never exceeds 20% allocation per asset, uses small positions to test waters, and reserves cash for volatility. He focuses on catching the "main upward trend" during market consensus phases and avoids emotional trading. Key sectors he favors include RWA (for its strong institutional backing), AI+blockchain (for high valuation elasticity), and cross-border payment projects (for stability). He credits Huobi HTX for its advantages in new asset listings, with over 70% of assets being first launches, robust risk controls, and deep ecosystem integration with networks like TRON. The platform’s liquidity, security mechanisms, and trading tools enabled his strategy execution. Kid views trading as earning within one’s cognitive limits and maintains a long-term, symbiotic relationship with the platform. His approach underscores professionalism, continuous learning, and respect for market risks.
