My friends, if you are HODLing the promising $USUAL token (RWA/DeFi), be careful, scammers have come up with a new scheme. I just received such an email:
But on the official Usual website or the X account there is not a single word about the Usual Money Token Claiming Portal. And the Scammer Checker also says that the link in the email is suspicious:
Frends, be careful, scammers do not sleep even on New Year's Eve. $USUAL

In my opinion, the biggest impact on the price of Bitcoin will be the decision of the new US administration to add this cryptocurrency to its financial reserve
For me, the new trends of 2024 in the crypto industry will become powerful trends in 2025:
1) Crypto activity and usage hit all-time highs 2) Crypto has become a key political issue ahead of the U.S. election 3) Stablecoins have found product-market fit 4) Infrastructure improvements have increased capacity and drastically reduced transaction costs 5) DeFi remains popular — and it’s growing 6) Crypto could solve some of AI’s most pressing challenges 7) More scalable infrastructure has unlocked new onchain applications

🤔Europe abandons Tether on New Year's Eve: what does this mean for the local market and investors
USDT seems to be outlawed in Europe by the end of the year. Because of this, European investors may miss out on the cryptocurrency boom that is expected under Donald Trump's presidency.
The new Markets in Cryptoassets Act (MiCA), which will come into effect at the end of the year, will change the digital token market, potentially weakening the attractiveness of these assets for investors.
The MiCA requires that stablecoins listed on centralized exchanges be issued by organizations with an electronic money license.
If the coin has no potential, why are you investing in it yourself? This is a project that went through the Binance Lab, and they know how to find pearls in the muck

"Why Investing in the BIO Launchpool Is Not Worth It"
Investing in the BIO Launchpool project might seem like a good opportunity at first glance, but upon closer examination, it appears to be unprofitable and even risky for most participants. Here’s why:
1. Low Returns Compared to Investment • I personally invested $1,650 in the FDUSD Pool, a relatively high amount compared to most Binance participants. • Despite this significant investment, I am projected to receive only 15 BIO tokens after the 10-day period. • Assuming a realistic initial price of $1 per BIO token, that equates to a total return of just $15. • A $15 return on a $1,650 investment over 10 days is minimal and hardly worth the effort or risk.
2. Volatility of BNB • For those staking BNB in the BNB Pool, there’s an additional layer of risk. • The value of BNB is highly volatile, and if its price drops significantly during the 10-day staking period, the value of your initial investment could decrease substantially. • For example, if BNB drops from $240 to $200, you might lose more money from your BNB investment than you gain from the BIO tokens. • Do not underestimate this risk. Even if you earn $50 in BIO tokens, the loss from BNB price fluctuations could offset or even exceed your total profit.
3. Time Commitment Without Flexibility • Locking funds for 10 days without access to them can be problematic, especially in a volatile crypto market. • During this time, you might miss out on better investment opportunities or need liquidity for other purposes. • The returns from BIO tokens are far too small to justify tying up your funds for such a duration.
Summary • The low returns (e.g., $15 on a $1,650 investment) make this opportunity largely unappealing. • The risk of BNB price drops could result in losses that exceed any gains from BIO tokens. • The time commitment of locking your funds for 10 days further reduces flexibility and potential profitability.
In conclusion, the BIO Launchpool is not worth the risk or effort for most participants. #bio
So, friends, what do you think - will today's market rebound become a permanent trend, or will the panic selling caused by the whales' actions before Christmas continue until the New Year?
Dear friends, we are all very concerned about the high volatility in the market, especially the king of crypto, Bitcoin. We can see it on the charts, and our feelings are confirmed by analysts.
For example, a report by David Lovant, head of research at cryptocurrency brokerage FalconX, says that bitcoin is likely to experience price volatility in the near term before entering a bullish trajectory in the first quarter of 2025. Lovant notes that as the year draws to a close, low liquidity could lead to increased fluctuations, especially due to the significant Bitcoin options expiration event (December 27, 2024).
So let's hold on to the wheel even tighter, the rally is just beginning!
It’s been a tough pre-Christmas week for Bitcoin ($BTC ). Over the past 7 days, the price has dropped by 8.01%, now standing at $95,443.99—a steep fall from the week’s high of $108,353.00.
But here’s something interesting: while the price is down, the capital inflow into BTC has flipped from a negative flow of -1,042.94 BTC to a positive 1,363.92 BTC. This could mean that despite the drop, big players or institutions might be quietly accumulating.
The technicals tell a mixed story. The MACD is hinting at potential bullish momentum, but the OBV and Bollinger Bands still show selling pressure and low volatility. These conditions could point to an oversold market—and possibly, a reversal soon.
Friends, what do you all think? Are we nearing a bounce, or should we brace for more turbulence? Let me know how you’re managing the ride!
Friends, if you're shocked by the rally on the trading charts and you're cringing at the thought of a bear market coming, stop panicking.
The cryptocurrency market is slowing down because we are approaching the holiday season. And under Christmas and New Year crypto-whales always take profits off.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which tracks the crypto market's emotions, has plunged to its lowest level since Trump's election last month.
Monday's index touched 70, same as before Trump's election. He won many swing states and the Senate for the GOP.
From 0 to 100, this rating measures severe fear and greed. It guides traders and investors' purchasing and selling choices by determining market fear or greed.
Post-Trump victory, the index reached 94, signaling peak market greed and likely overvaluation. Before Bitcoin reached its peak, this high occurred. Dec. 17.
After falling below 70, the index still shows a greedy market with investors overconfident but less so. Some investors' risk awareness has also increased. Greed drives unfettered growth at 90, while investors start to notice corrections and bubbles around 70.
Bitcoin is at $95,488 and down Over 8% in the previous week. Investor emotion typically impacts asset prices, increasing swiftly when greed drives gains and declining dramatically when fear drives sell-offs.
Unity Wallet COO James Toledano advised on Bitcoin's holiday behavior. He compared Bitcoin's volatility to water's persistent wetness, saying Bitcoin is constantly volatile.
He stated, “Its behavior is always mixed and there is zero discernible pattern at the end of the year and going into the next.” Sometimes the new year price increases, sometimes it lowers.
He said that decreased liquidity may increase volatility, while limited institutional engagement may stabilize prices. Yearly exceptions arise when macroeconomic news or market events cause rapid adjustments.
Following 2024's ETF approval, the Trump factor, and other macrotrends, investor attitude will determine much this year. Unless unexpected news sparks volatility, a tranquil spell is probable. But because pro-Bitcoin Trump will return to the White House on January 20, I predict price action soon,” he said.
In the cryptocurrency world, mastering 8 rules is like having a cheat code.
First: The more you lose in trading, the more cautious you should be about averaging down. The cryptocurrency market has many traps; many people become anxious after being stuck in a trade and instead of thinking about exiting, they keep averaging down to lower their holding costs, hoping for a sudden surge to break even. This actually goes against common sense.
Second: Avoid continuously adding to your position while trading. If you haven't developed the ability to make a profit, don't keep adding to your account. Losses indicate that your trading system has flaws; at this time, you shouldn't try to fill the gaps by averaging down. Instead, reflect on your strategy, and after calmly exploring an effective method, it's okay to increase your investment.
Third: Trade in the direction of the trend. There are only three types of trends: upward trends, downward trends, and consolidation trends. Undoubtedly, during a downward trend, holding light or even no positions while participating in an upward trend can significantly increase your chances of success.
Fourth: Maintain simple trading rules and easy confluence points. When a candlestick pattern that fits your system appears on the chart, you can start trading. Be sure to set stop-loss orders and control your position size.
Fifth: Don't add to your position lightly, especially when you are losing. The more you average down, the greater your risk becomes.
Sixth: Learn trend analysis; add to your position after breaking resistance and short after breaking the main distribution zone. After prolonged upward movement (with significant gains approaching a sensitive period), there will be short-term fluctuations at high levels.
Seventh: The mentality of being eager to make money is a major taboo in trading. If you can't control your own heart, greed, and desires, you won't be able to succeed in the market for the long term.
Eighth: Allocate assets reasonably; don't put all your eggs in one basket. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is the golden rule of investing, especially in the high-risk cryptocurrency market. Asset allocation and diversification are extremely important.
Regulators have long said that Tether is not a transparent company, hiding its real figures

I've seen some people talking about an issue with the USDT coin, below I confirm that it is true. But not worldwide, but in Europe.
Yes, it is true that USDT will no longer be available in Europe before 2025. Starting December 30, 2024, all exchanges in the European Union will have to remove USDT from their listings due to the entry into force of the MiCA Law (Regulation for the Market in Cryptoassets). This regulation requires that stablecoins listed on centralized exchanges be issued by entities with electronic money licenses and that they keep at least two-thirds of their reserves in an independent bank. Since Tether, the issuer of USDT, does not meet these requirements, its stablecoin will be removed from the European market.
In contrast, USDC, issued by Circle, does comply with MiCA regulations and will continue to operate in Europe. Circle obtained the necessary license in July of this year, allowing its stablecoins, USDC and EURC, to remain in the European market and capture a considerable portion of the trading volume.
Exchanges such as Binance and OKX have already delisted USDT, and other operators have until December 30 to comply with the regulations. This move also led Tether to suspend support for its euro-pegged stablecoin, EURT, on November 27, marking a clear setback in its influence within the European market.

It’s been a tough week for Bitcoin ($BTC ) holders. Over the past 7 days, BTC has dropped by 5.46%, now sitting at $97,092.01—a significant 10.39% below its weekly high. Adding to the concern, trading volume has plummeted by an astonishing 99.77%, signaling a sharp slowdown in market activity.
What does this mean for us as traders or enthusiasts? The technical indicators offer a mixed bag. The MACD shows some bullish sentiment, but the price action doesn’t agree—it’s still heading south. The RSI feels neutral at first glance but seems to carry underlying bearish vibes. The OBV trend? Also pointing downward. And with Bollinger Bands expanding, it’s clear we’re in for a ride—volatility is ramping up.
These are the times that test us as a community. How are you all navigating these swings? Share your strategies—I’d love to hear your thoughts!$BTC
Corrections are an integral part of any market, including the cryptocurrency market. Continuous price growth is impossible, as eventually, traders exhaust the demand for assets at high prices. Similarly, declines don’t last forever—new buyers always emerge at lower levels.
These cyclical processes drive market dynamics. For traders, they can offer opportunities for profit or, unfortunately, lead to losses. The key is understanding market patterns, managing risks, and making calculated decisions.
So, my friends, last week corrections are not a cause for panic but rather a chance for analysis and the development of new strategies.
A new rate cut means more global liquidity. Once we see this breakout, the best part of the bitcoin bull market will begin. So, be patient, don’t panic!
Friends, if you are shocked by the level of volatility in the market, just remember that Christmas is coming. That means all the big players are locking in their profits. The holiday will be over, the market will return to its normal state. So HODL and no panic. Merry Christmas, everyone!
