328k $BTC

Bitcoin remains stable despite the tense geopolitical landscape.

Circle minted $750M USDC on Solana.
Adding fresh stablecoin liquidity for the first time in 2026.

Crypto added $100B to the market in the past 3 days.

Exactly 17 years ago, the history of cryptocurrency and blockchain began - on January 3, 2009, the first Bitcoin block was created.

ETH closed 9 red monthly candles in 2025.
This happened once before, back in 2018, which was a clear bear market year.
When patterns like this start repeating, it raises a real question.
The classic 4 year crypto cycle may not be working the way it used to anymore.

ZachXBT reports hundreds of wallets across EVM chains were drained for under $2K each, with over $107K stolen so far and the cause still unclear.

The most active VC players by number of deals were:

▫️Animoca Brands > 52 investments
▫️YZi Labs > 40 investments
Amber Group, GSR, and Pantera Capital also showed high activity

Ghana officially legalizes crypto
🇬🇭Ghana’s parliament has passed a law that brings crypto into the legal and regulated space.
the new bill allows the licensing of crypto platforms and gives the central bank oversight over the market.
around 3 million Ghanaians (17% of adults) already use crypto, so authorities decided it’s better to regulate than ignore it.

Bitcoin might close this year in the red
still worth remembering that $BTC has never had two negative years in a row.
