#Ethereum stablecoin transfer volume surpasses $8T in Q4, hits new ATH

Big Shots Collective Preview: The crypto industry cycle is dead, and the future belongs to these three types of people!
Stop focusing on the four-year halving; this time, it’s truly different.
Recently, from Cathie Wood of Ark Invest to MicroStrategy’s Saylor, almost all top figures in the crypto circle have sent the same signal: the old wealth explosion script is completely over.
Their rare consensus reveals a brutal fact: the era of relying on retail investor sentiment and fixed-cycle hype to make money is ending at a visibly rapid pace. The new wealth game is built on entirely different rules.
1. The Old Rules Collapse: Why the “Four-Year Wealth Cycle” No Longer Works
1. Big Shots’ Collective “Exit” from Cycle Theory
· Cathie Wood of ARK Invest directly announced: the Bitcoin four-year cycle has ended. Her reason is simple—institutional tools like Bitcoin ETFs are transforming it from a casino chip into a “serious” risk asset similar to gold. This means that the previous volatility, which often halved or even cut by three, will be replaced by more moderate rises and falls.
· Evidence: Data shows Bitcoin’s actual volatility has fallen to a historic low. It’s no longer just that jumpy “monkey market” star.
2. True whales have entered
· Words are not enough; capital votes with its feet. Saylor of MicroStrategy not only hints at continued buying but also makes a shocking prediction: under institutional push, Bitcoin could reach $170,000 by 2026.
· Their company holds over 670,000 Bitcoins, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Enterprises, national funds, and asset management giants are quietly consuming circulating Bitcoin. Supply is locked, selling pressure is easing, and the underlying logic of the game has changed.
2. Emergence of a New Order: The Three Iron Laws of Future Profit
After the cycle narrative fails, where will the money flow? The big players point to three irreversible trends:
1. Compliance is productivity
* Stop dreaming of “lawless zones.” Smart money is betting on “US crypto regulation turning friendly.” Clear rules are not shackles but a ticket to attract traditional trillions of capital. Next, “security tokens” that connect with traditional finance will explode.
2. On-chain eating traditional finance
* This is not just stablecoin payments. In the future, stocks, bonds, and private equity could all become tokens on the chain. 24/7 global trading will become the norm. This is not only an efficiency revolution but also a redistribution of wealth.
3. Tokens must have real value
* The route of issuing tokens based solely on whitepapers and stories is completely unviable. Future tokens must genuinely share in the protocol’s revenue and growth. Empty narratives will eventually fail; value binding is king.
3. New Wealth Tracks: These Three Fields Have Reached Consensus
Under the new rules, these directions are frequently mentioned by the big players:
1. Prediction Markets: Waiting for the World Cup to Ignite
* The 2026 World Cup could be the key battle for crypto to go mainstream. Prediction platforms like Polymarket will face the ultimate test of global traffic. This will be the “World Cup moment” for blockchain to prove its real-world utility.
2. AI Agents: Your Opponent Might Be a Robot
* One of the most disruptive trends: AI agents will come with wallets on-chain. Future traders, market makers, and even project teams might be a group of tireless AIs. This will create unprecedented new demands and infrastructure.
3. Privacy and Specific Assets
* As everything moves toward compliance and transparency, privacy needs will once again become hard currency. Some believe privacy coins might be the “last hundredfold opportunity.” Meanwhile, progress in integrating real-world assets on chains like Solana and Ethereum is also highly regarded.
4. Harsh Truth: Divergence, Risks, and Elimination Battles
Despite clear directions, there are huge disagreements among top figures about short-term trends. Market expectations are polarized, meaning “high volatility reshuffling” remains an inevitable process.
More importantly, professional investors’ mindsets have completely shifted:
· “Returning to fundamentals” has become core. Community hype and meme-driven speculation are greatly diminished.
· Everyone is starting to seriously scrutinize project revenues, data, and products.
· The professional threshold is rising sharply; retail investors relying solely on emotion and impulse will become targets for being harvested.
Conclusion: Are You Part of the New Era or Still Living in Old Shadows?
Summarizing the collective judgment of the top figures, 2026 will be a watershed:
· Market: shifting from “cyclical casino” to “structural bull market.”
· Logic: shifting from “hype narratives” to “practical value.”
· Players: shifting from “emotional retail” to “professional institutions.”
The bubble is being squeezed out, and value is being re-evaluated.
This new era will reward those who focus on building, embrace rules, and cultivate long-term value. At the same time, it will ruthlessly eliminate those still waiting for old cycle illusions and chasing short-term air.
The cycle is dead; order must be established. Are you ready? #Gate2025年度报告 #加密市场开年反弹 #我的2026第一条帖

$ZKP Technical Analysis Report for $ZKP/USDT
SECTION 1: Technical Indicator Analysis (Technical Indicator Analysis)
Moving Averages (MA):
MA7 (Yellow line, value: 0.13097): Short-term moving average. The price is trading slightly above this MA, indicating a bullish short-term momentum.
MA25 (Purple line, value: 0.12984): Medium-term moving average. The price is trading above this MA. The crossover of MA7 above MA25, which apparently occurred recently, is a bullish signal indicating strengthening of the medium-term upward trend.
MA99 (Dark purple/blue line, value: 0.12795): Long-term moving average. The price is trading significantly above this MA. This confirms a strong long-term upward trend.
Overall interpretation: The price is above all three moving averages, decisively indicating an upward trend in the medium and long term, with MA7 acting as a potential short-term support.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
MACD line (Yellow, value: 0.00020): Above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum.
DIF (Dashed purple line, value: 0.00035) and DEA (Dashed red line, value: 0.00038): The MACD line is above the signal line (although DIF is slightly below DEA, the MACD value itself is positive), and the histogram is mainly positive (green bars), suggesting bullish momentum.
Histogram (Green/Red bars): The histogram is positive (green bars), confirming bullish momentum. However, recent trend shows a decrease in the height of histogram bars, which may indicate a potential slowdown of bullish momentum or a consolidation phase. A decline in the MACD line, if it crosses below DEA, will signal a bearish movement.
SECTION 2: Smart Trading Recommendations Based on Technical Analysis (Smart Trading Recommendations Based on Technical Analysis)
Based on the current technical analysis:
Bullish Scenario (Continuation of the Uptrend):
Entry point: If the price confidently breaks and holds above the current resistance zone at 0.13174, this could be a good entry point to continue the upward movement.
Stop-loss: Place a stop-loss below MA7 (around 0.13090) or, for a more conservative strategy, below MA25 (around 0.12980).
Profit target: The first target is the previous high at 0.13380. If it is broken, further upward movement can be expected.
Consolidation/Correction Scenario:
Entry point (Buy on pullback): If the price pulls back to the ascending trendline (around 0.12704) and above( or MA99 )0.12795( and shows signs of bounce )e.g., bullish candlestick patterns(, this could be a buying opportunity.
Stop-loss: Place a stop-loss slightly below the ascending trendline or MA99 to protect against further decline.
Profit target: Re-test the current resistance zone )0.13174( and possibly the previous high )0.13380(.
Risk management: Always use proper risk management and do not risk more than you can afford to lose. Carefully monitor trading volume.
SECTION 3: Key Price Level Analysis )Key Price Level Analysis(
Using OHLCV data from the chart, we identified the following key levels:
Key support levels:
Uptrend line )around 0.12704 and upward(: This is a critically important support level, as it represents a historical interest of buyers. The price previously bounced off this line, emphasizing its significance. Holding above this line is a bullish signal.
MA99 )0.12795(: The long-term moving average acts as a strong dynamic support level. Holding above it indicates a stable upward trend.
MA25 )0.12984(: Medium-term support, which may be tested during minor pullbacks.
Previous lows )around 0.12969 and 0.12704(: These price levels, where significant declines occurred, may again serve as support, as buying activity was observed at these levels in the past.
Important resistance levels:
Historical high )0.13380(: This is the absolute maximum price reached on the visible chart and represents a significant resistance, as this is where seller pressure historically outweighed buyer pressure.
Current price cluster )from 0.13040 to 0.13174(: This area appears to be the current resistance zone, as the price struggled to break through it during the last trading session. The indicative candle indicates market indecision in this range.
MA7 )0.13097(: Although usually a support, if the price drops below it, it may temporarily act as a short-term resistance.
SECTION 4: Comprehensive Summary & Action Plan )Comprehensive Summary & Action Plan(
$ZKP/USDT is currently in a medium and long-term uptrend, confirmed by the price being above all key moving averages and the presence of an upward trendline. The MACD indicator shows bullish momentum, but signs of potential slowdown or consolidation are observed.
The latest candle indicates market indecision, possibly in the resistance zone from 0.13040 to 0.13174. Traders should closely watch whether the price can confidently break this resistance or if a pullback to support levels occurs.
Recommended actions:
Watch for a breakout: Look for a confident breakout above 0.13174 with increased volume as a signal to continue the upward movement.
Seek confirmation of support: In case of a pullback, observe the price reaction at the upward trendline )around 0.12704( and MA99 )0.12795 for potential entry points.
Monitor MACD: Keep an eye on the MACD histogram and MACD/DEA lines. If MACD begins to confidently cross below DEA, it could be an early signal of slowing bullish momentum.
Consider volume: Confirm any price movements with corresponding volume changes. An increase in volume during a breakout is a strong bullish signal, while low volume may indicate a false breakout.
Market conditions: Always consider broader market conditions and news that could impact the $ZKP/USDT pair.

On January 4th, the whale address (0x7110) deposited approximately $5.5 million into Hyperliquid in the past 24 hours and opened long positions with low leverage. The current position size reaches $12.03 million. This action, along with news related to JUP buybacks, may indicate optimism for JUP's long-term rise.

🔗 Ethereum Sets New Record for Transactions
The Ethereum network has hit a historic high in daily transaction count: the seven-day moving average reached 1.87 million transactions, surpassing the figures from the 2021 NFT boom.
User activity has also surged: the number of active addresses increased to 728,000, and the daily growth of new addresses became the largest since 2018, indicating a return of real demand for network usage.
📊 Analysts attribute the growth to Ethereum upgrades that reduced fees and increased scalability, as well as to heightened institutional interest—including ETFs and real asset tokenization projects.

Tracking real-time hot topics in the crypto circle and seizing the best trading opportunities. Today is Wednesday, December 31, 2025. I am Wang Yibo! Good morning to all crypto friends☀Iron fans check-in👍Like and make a fortune🍗🍗🌹🌹,

U.S. stocks closed slightly lower on Tuesday, with the three major indices experiencing modest declines. The Dow initially fell 0.2%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.14%, and the Nasdaq declined 0.24%. Precious metals began to recover after a stampede-like sell-off, with silver briefly touching the $78 mark! The Federal Reserve meeting minutes highlighted serious disagreements. As 2025 draws to a close, the overall cryptocurrency market shows a pattern of oscillation and convergence. Bitcoin and Ethereum both maintain a range-bound tug-of-war, with no clear directional signals yet. Short-term, high sell and low buy remain the mainstream trading logic. Follow Yibo for continuous updates on the implementation of Fed policies, institutional fund flows, on-chain data changes, and other key signals, with real-time updates on layout strategies and target assets.
==================================

==================================
Bitcoin reached a high of $90,300 two days ago before beginning a pullback. Yesterday morning, the price was mostly sideways in consolidation, with bulls and bears temporarily balanced; during the midday session, the price dipped to around $86,758, then rebounded and started a rally; in the evening, it surged to a high of $89,360, then slightly retreated, touching around $87,830, before oscillating upward again. As of now, the price is around $88,500. Overall, the current oscillating tug-of-war pattern is narrowing, indicating that before the end of 2025, the market is unlikely to see a large directional move, and the oscillation pattern is likely to continue. Until clear trend reversal signals appear, the market will continue to operate within the current small range, with high sell and low buy strategies.
==================================
💎
💎
==================================
Ethereum also shows a pattern of oscillation and consolidation. After testing the resistance at $3,056, the price pulled back. Yesterday morning, Ethereum mainly traded around $2,930; during the midday, it declined to around $2,918, then rebounded; by early morning, it surged to $3,008, then retreated again, touching around $2,940, before bouncing back to around $2,960 for sideways movement. In the short term, the focus remains on the $3,000 level. Until the price stabilizes above this level with a solid candle, the oscillation pattern will not change. The market currently lacks clear bullish or bearish signals. Trading should continue within small ranges, high selling and low buying, waiting for the market to break out of the current structure before adjusting positions accordingly.
