According to Finbold, Ethereum (ETH) has recently experienced a significant price breakout, trading above the $3,500 resistance level. This development has sparked interest in the broader cryptocurrency market, as it is seen as a potential precursor to an altcoin season leading into 2025. As of the latest update, Ethereum was trading at $3,569, marking a 1% increase in the last 24 hours and an 8% rise over the past week. The recent momentum in Ethereum's price has led to varied predictions from analysts. Notably, after Ethereum temporarily surpassed the $3,600 resistance, on-chain cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez projected a short-term target of $6,000 for the asset. Achieving this target could further validate the onset of an altcoin season. For Ethereum to sustain this momentum and confirm an altcoin rally, it will need to continue building on its current gains throughout 2024 and into the new year. The Ethereum Rainbow Chart, a popular tool among investors, provides insights into potential future price movements. This chart uses historical price data on a logarithmic scale with color-coded bands to represent different price zones. Currently, Ethereum is positioned in the "Steady" zone, which ranges from $2,854 to $4,123, indicating a phase of stable performance without significant upward or downward pressure. Looking ahead to January 1, 2025, the Rainbow Chart projects Ethereum's price could range from $761.55 to $18,254.39. The "Maximum Bubble Territory" zone, at the high end, suggests extreme overvaluation, while the "But have we earned it?" zone indicates slight overvaluation. The "Is this the Flipping?" zone marks a potential milestone where Ethereum could surpass previous highs without excessive inflation. The "HODL!" zone, predicting a price range of $4,207.87 to $6,121.32, suggests a healthy market for long-term holders. The "Steady" zone reflects stability and moderate growth potential, while the "Still Cheap" zone signals undervaluation and a buying opportunity. The "Accumulate" and "Undervalued" zones offer strong entry points for long-term investors. Currently, Ethereum needs to break the $4,000 resistance to move towards the higher bands of the chart. The "Fire Sale" zone represents deep undervaluation with high-risk, high-reward potential as of January 1, 2025.

According to PANews, DEXX attackers have initiated tests for exchanging tokens to ETH on EVM chains, including Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and BASE. This activity began approximately half an hour ago, as disclosed by SlowMist founder Yu Jian. One of the attacker addresses, 0xfd01...bb9, has been made public, and its transaction history can be viewed on DeBank. The revelation highlights ongoing security concerns within the blockchain ecosystem, particularly on EVM-compatible chains. The attackers' actions underscore the need for enhanced vigilance and security measures to protect digital assets and transactions. As the blockchain industry continues to grow, the importance of robust security protocols becomes increasingly critical to safeguard against such malicious activities. This incident serves as a reminder for users and developers to remain cautious and proactive in securing their digital assets. The transparency of blockchain technology allows for the tracking of suspicious activities, but it also requires constant monitoring and quick response to potential threats. The public availability of the attacker's address provides an opportunity for further investigation and potential mitigation of risks associated with this attack.

According to BlockBeats, on November 28, SlowMist founder Yu Jian shared on X that attackers targeting DEXX have initiated tests involving the exchange of tokens for ETH on EVM chains. This development marks a significant step in the ongoing security challenges faced by decentralized exchanges. The incident highlights the persistent vulnerabilities within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, where attackers continuously seek to exploit weaknesses in smart contracts and blockchain protocols. The testing of token exchanges on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains suggests a sophisticated approach by the attackers, aiming to leverage the interoperability and widespread adoption of these chains. As the DeFi sector grows, the importance of robust security measures becomes increasingly critical. This incident serves as a reminder for developers and users to remain vigilant and prioritize security in their operations. The ongoing efforts to enhance security protocols and safeguard digital assets are crucial in maintaining trust and stability within the DeFi landscape.

According to Odaily, Vasileios Gkionakis, an economist at Aviva Investors, has indicated in a report that the US dollar could experience further appreciation if President-elect Donald Trump introduces new trade tariffs. Gkionakis notes that the recent rise in the dollar's value has been primarily driven by economic fundamentals, including robust US economic data and favorable interest rate differentials. The prospect of tariffs, while contributing to the dollar's rise, plays a significantly smaller role. The report suggests that if these policies are implemented, there is potential for the dollar to strengthen further. Import tariffs could lead to increased inflation and widen the interest rate differentials between the US and other countries. Additionally, tariffs might dampen market sentiment and weaken global economic growth expectations, thereby enhancing the dollar's appeal as a safe-haven currency. The extent of the dollar's appreciation will depend on the scope, scale, and timing of the tariff implementation.

According to BlockBeats, Ethereum protocol developer and Prysm maintainer Terence announced on social media that a preliminary consensus was reached during the Ethereum Core Developers Meeting (AllCoreDevs). The developers agreed to increase the blob target/maximum from 3/6 to 6/9. However, the implementation of this change will require further testing and results from network development. The decision to adjust the blob size is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the Ethereum network's performance and scalability. The increase in blob size is expected to improve data handling capabilities, which is crucial for the network's efficiency.

As Ethereum continues to evolve, the core development team remains focused on optimizing the network's infrastructure. The proposed changes are part of a broader strategy to address the growing demands on the network, driven by the increasing adoption of decentralized applications and services. The developers are committed to ensuring that any modifications are thoroughly vetted and tested before implementation to maintain the network's integrity and reliability.

According to BlockBeats, on November 28, SlowMist released a list of attacker addresses related to the DEXX platform. The cybersecurity firm has identified 8,612 addresses on the Solana blockchain. This data compilation is based on reports from DEXX officials and thousands of victims who have been affected by these attacks. The identification process is part of an ongoing effort to address security concerns within the blockchain community. While the focus has been on Solana, SlowMist is also working on gathering and compiling data for addresses on EVM-compatible chains. This process is still underway, and the company expects to have the information ready in the coming days. The initiative underscores the importance of vigilance and proactive measures in safeguarding blockchain networks from malicious activities. The release of this information aims to assist in mitigating the impact of these attacks and preventing future incidents.

According to Decrypt, Make-A-Wish International is urging cryptocurrency holders to contribute to its cause, following a recent surge in Bitcoin's value. The children's charity, which fulfills the wishes of critically ill children in 50 countries, has been accepting cryptocurrency donations for three years with the assistance of The Giving Block. This initiative allows the charity to receive donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC through its website. Since its inception in 1980, Make-A-Wish claims to have granted 585,000 wishes and expanded its reach to three additional countries due to crypto contributions. The acceptance of cryptocurrency by charities has been gradual, with some organizations initially hesitant due to concerns over token volatility, potential fraud, and legal uncertainties. However, Make-A-Wish International is among several nonprofits now embracing digital currency donations. Pat Duffy, Co-Founder of The Giving Block, highlighted the potential of cryptocurrency as a significant intersection of wealth, youth, and philanthropy, noting that nonprofits not engaging with this trend risk missing out on substantial support. Other charitable organizations are also beginning to accept cryptocurrency. JustGiving recently enabled donations in Bitcoin and Dogecoin, while Médecins Sans Frontières launched a new initiative allowing users to donate part of their staking rewards via the Ethereum staking protocol Lido. This initiative, Stake2Care, received an advertising grant from the Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization. The generosity of crypto holders has been evident in various causes, such as Ukraine raising $50 million through 90,000 donations following Russia's 2022 invasion, prompting Ukrainian media to advocate for NFT releases.

According to Odaily, Solana's co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko recently shared insights on social media regarding the migration of crypto startups from the Bay Area. Yakovenko speculated that approximately $250 billion worth of crypto startups have exited the region. He attributed this exodus to the inability of California's representatives to curb excessive interventions by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Yakovenko emphasized that other regions globally would go to great lengths to retain such valuable startups. His comments highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the crypto industry in navigating regulatory landscapes, particularly in areas with stringent oversight. The departure of these startups from the Bay Area underscores the broader implications of regulatory policies on the growth and sustainability of the crypto sector. This situation raises questions about the future of innovation hubs like the Bay Area, traditionally known for fostering technological advancements. As crypto companies seek more favorable environments, the global competition to attract and retain these businesses intensifies. Yakovenko's remarks reflect a growing sentiment within the industry that regulatory frameworks need to adapt to support the burgeoning crypto economy.

According to Odaily, recent monitoring by Certik Alert has revealed multiple deposits into Tornado.Cash that are connected to a significant phishing incident that occurred on August 21. The attack, which involved a substantial sum of $55 million, has been traced back to an address beginning with eth:0x5d4. The attacker associated with this address has reportedly converted the minted DAI into ETH and subsequently dispersed the funds. This development highlights ongoing concerns about the security of digital assets and the methods used by cybercriminals to obscure their tracks. Tornado.Cash, a privacy-focused platform, has been under scrutiny as it allows users to mix cryptocurrencies, making it challenging to trace the origins of funds. The incident underscores the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance within the cryptocurrency community to prevent such large-scale phishing attacks. The conversion and dispersion of funds by the attacker suggest a sophisticated approach to laundering the stolen assets, complicating efforts to recover the funds and identify those responsible. This case serves as a reminder of the persistent threats in the digital currency space and the importance of robust security protocols to protect against similar incidents in the future.

According to Odaily, DEXX founder Roy announced on the X platform that independent security firms will soon disclose all hacker addresses. The community is encouraged to monitor these addresses and report any suspicious activity to platforms for immediate blocking and interception. The assessment of affected addresses and the total amount of losses is nearly complete, and a compensation channel will be opened on the DEXX platform. Currently, DEXX is undergoing a security upgrade, and users are advised not to deposit any funds into the platform. Despite warnings, some users have continued to deposit funds, resulting in thefts as the hacker's script remains active. Due to the hacker's possession of private keys, it may not be possible to return assets through the original route. A new compensation address will be introduced to facilitate the return of funds. Further details regarding law enforcement actions, institutional investments, endorsements, and the compensation plan will be announced soon. Users are urged to remain vigilant and await official updates from DEXX regarding the security measures and compensation procedures.

According to DLNews, major exchange-traded fund (ETF) providers like BlackRock and Bitwise are on the verge of becoming the largest holders of Bitcoin. This year alone, these institutions have acquired over $104 billion worth of the cryptocurrency, positioning them close to surpassing Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's enigmatic founder, who holds 1.1 million Bitcoins valued at over $105 billion. A recent report by research firm Bernstein predicts that by the end of 2024, Wall Street will replace Satoshi as the top Bitcoin wallet holder. This shift is attributed to the growing interest of financial institutions in cryptocurrencies, with institutional confidence in the asset class reaching unprecedented levels, according to Joshua de Vos, Research Lead at CCData. The increasing institutional interest is further fueled by optimism surrounding a favorable regulatory environment anticipated under a potential second Donald Trump presidency. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have emerged as a significant success story in the crypto market for 2024. Since the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved 11 funds in January, these ETFs have collectively acquired over 5% of the global Bitcoin supply. Unlike Satoshi's holdings, which are believed to belong to a single entity, ETF holdings are distributed among multiple investors. MicroStrategy, the next largest single Bitcoin holder, possesses just under 2% of the total Bitcoin supply. However, ETFs are rapidly closing this gap, with Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, noting their aggressive acquisition pace. Despite Bitcoin's recent retreat as it approached the $100,000 mark, analysts remain optimistic about its future performance. Hedge fund Pantera Capital's founder, Dan Morehead, suggested that institutional interest is only beginning, with more firms likely to enter the market as regulatory clarity improves. Morehead predicts that Bitcoin's value could skyrocket, potentially reaching $740,000 by April 2028 if the current trend of doubling its value annually continues. Increased institutional adoption, both from private companies and governments, is expected to stabilize the asset's volatility, according to de Vos. He also noted that these developments might lead to a greater concentration of Bitcoin supply among the largest holders, further widening the gap between small and large market participants.

According to Blockworks, the latest episode of the Empire podcast featured intriguing predictions from ParaFi regarding the future of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins. ParaFi anticipates that RWAs will surpass the overall value of digital assets, excluding stablecoins. Currently, the total value of RWAs has reached nearly $13.5 billion, while the total crypto market cap stands at approximately $3.4 trillion. Despite RWAs not yet overtaking cryptocurrencies, their value has surged by over 50% in the past year alone. The financial sector is seen as outdated, lacking an 'Amazon experience' for finance, according to ParaFi's Ben Forman. The tokenization of assets on a blockchain allows for programming logic into the assets themselves, reducing the need for intermediaries such as lawyers and trustees. This innovation opens up numerous possibilities for AI agent use cases, including enabling micropayments. Currently, tokenized treasuries dominate the space, comprising 62% of the market. However, stablecoins are also a crucial part of the discussion. When combined with RWAs, the market cap reaches nearly $200 billion. ParaFi predicts that by 2030, stablecoin supply could account for 10% of the M2 money supply in the US, a significant increase from the current 1%. ParaFi's optimism is based on three factors: the evolution of stablecoins as a new form of global payment rails, the potential for fintech companies to integrate stablecoins due to their lack of legacy system constraints, and the emergence of new business models involving yield-bearing reserves to back stablecoins, as noted by ParaFi's Kevin Yedid-Botton. A recent Delphi Digital report highlighted that weekly stablecoin transfer volume has reached $302 billion, marking a 235% increase year-to-date. The report emphasized that stablecoins have found a product-market fit, facilitating a more global digital economy. These predictions underscore the potential for significant growth in both RWAs and stablecoins by 2030.

According to ShibDaily, former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Paul Atkins is reportedly the leading candidate to head the SEC under President-elect Donald Trump's administration. This development suggests a possible change in the direction of U.S. financial regulation. Bloomberg reported that Atkins was interviewed by Trump's transition team as a potential nominee for the position. With extensive experience at the SEC, having served as a commissioner and staffer under previous SEC Chairs Richard Breeden and Arthur Levitt, Atkins is seen as a highly qualified candidate for the role of SEC Chairman. Atkins is known for his pro-innovation stance and significant expertise in the cryptocurrency sector. Fox Business Journalist Eleanor Terrett noted that Atkins could potentially "restore the agency to the so-called 'gold standard.'" His possible appointment comes amid speculation that the Trump administration might transfer the regulatory oversight of cryptocurrencies from the SEC to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The SEC has previously claimed broad authority over the cryptocurrency market, often classifying tokens as securities based on the Howey Test. This classification has led to numerous enforcement actions and created considerable regulatory uncertainty within the industry. Many cryptocurrency companies have faced scrutiny and legal challenges due to these rulings, prompting the market to seek clearer guidelines. Under Atkins' leadership, the SEC could potentially adopt a more balanced approach to cryptocurrency regulation, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy. Current SEC Chairman Gary Gensler is expected to step down in January 2025, following Trump's pledge to remove him from office on his first day. During his tenure, Gensler emphasized several key initiatives, including reforms to Treasury markets, updates to equity market regulations, and enhancements to corporate governance standards.

According to Odaily, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member François Villeroy de Galhau has indicated that there is a strong rationale for a rate cut in December. He emphasized the importance of maintaining an open stance regarding the scale of the potential rate reduction. Villeroy highlighted the need for significant flexibility in both the frequency and magnitude of any rate cuts. The ECB's consideration of a rate cut comes amid ongoing economic challenges in the Eurozone. Villeroy's comments suggest that the central bank is prepared to adjust its monetary policy to support economic stability. The flexibility mentioned by Villeroy indicates that the ECB is willing to adapt its approach based on evolving economic conditions, ensuring that any measures taken are responsive to the needs of the economy. This potential rate cut is part of the ECB's broader strategy to address economic uncertainties and stimulate growth. By keeping options open regarding the scale and frequency of rate adjustments, the ECB aims to provide a supportive environment for economic recovery. Villeroy's remarks underscore the central bank's commitment to using all available tools to achieve its monetary policy objectives.

According to ShibDaily, Christopher Giancarlo, the former Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has indicated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might consider dropping its lawsuit against Ripple. In a recent interview with FOX Business, Giancarlo discussed the broader landscape of cryptocurrency regulation and the increasing influence of the CFTC in this domain. During the interview, FOX Business Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino asked Giancarlo about the likelihood of the SEC reassessing its legal stance against Ripple, especially in the context of a potential Donald Trump presidency. Giancarlo suggested that the SEC should review cases it has lost at the trial court level and contemplate dismissing them. His comments suggest that new leadership at the SEC could decide to abandon the Ripple case, particularly following a recent court decision. The SEC initiated legal action against Ripple Labs in December 2020, accusing the company of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP, which it claimed was an unregistered security. In July 2023, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres delivered a mixed ruling, stating that Ripple’s programmatic XRP sales via cryptocurrency exchanges did not qualify as securities transactions under federal law. However, she also determined that Ripple’s direct sales of XRP to institutional investors did constitute securities transactions. Both Ripple and the SEC have filed appeals, with more detailed arguments expected in the coming months. Giancarlo, who is often referred to as “Crypto Dad,” is reportedly a leading candidate for the role of “Crypto Czar” under President-elect Donald Trump. Trump’s transition team is considering the establishment of a new White House position aimed at coordinating cryptocurrency policy. This role, potentially titled “Crypto Czar,” would provide direct access to President-elect Trump and serve as a central policy coordinator across federal agencies.

According to U.Today, RippleX has issued an important update concerning the XRP Ledger following a recent bug incident that affected the network. On November 25, 2024, at 1:39 p.m. UTC, the XRP Ledger encountered a problem where several nodes crashed and restarted simultaneously, causing a temporary halt in transaction processing for about 10 minutes. During this period, the network's consensus mechanism prioritized safety over progress, ensuring no funds were lost. By 1:49 p.m. UTC, the network resumed normal operations. Brad Chase, Vice President at RippleX, addressed the community in a social media post, providing insights into the cause of the incident and the steps taken to resolve it. The issue originated from a bug introduced over six months ago, which caused the caching layer of the 'rippled' software to return inconsistent results, leading to server crashes. Although the bug went unnoticed during testing, it was discovered at the end of the testing phase for rippled version 2.3.0. A fix was developed and released internally, and the RippleX team worked closely with the community and UNL operators to implement updates and secure the network. The community's prompt response to the update has been commendable, with 33 out of 35 validators on the default UNL and nearly half of known servers already upgraded to rippled 2.3.0. However, unpatched nodes remain vulnerable, and RippleX urges all users to update their infrastructure to the latest version. To mitigate risks for unpatched users, RippleX plans to withhold specific technical details until most servers have been upgraded. Node operators have until December 12 to complete the upgrade, after which more technical information will be shared. This delay in sharing details is intended to prevent potential exploitation of the bug by malicious actors. RippleX emphasizes the importance of upgrading to version 2.3.0 promptly to ensure network security.
