Ethereum Experiences Additional Downward Pressure As Arthur Hayes Sells Another 682 ETH to Buy EN...
Prominent crypto investor, recognized to be Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX crypto exchange, has today sold another ETH tokens worth $2 million on Binance exchange to buy certain high quality DeFi tokens. Hayes started rotating out of Ethereum (ETH) last week and moving funds to high quality decentralized finance projects, including Ethena (ENA), Pendle (PENDLE), and Ether.fi (ETHFI), which he believes can outperform as fiat liquidity improves.
According to the revelation disclosed today by market analyst Lookonchain, Hayes began his reallocation of his investment from ETH to such high-quality DeFi tokens on December 20 when he sold a total of 1,871 ETH (valued at $5,53 million) and purchased 1.22 million ENA tokens (worth $257,500), 137,117 PENDLE tokens (worth $259,000), and 132,730 ETHFI tokens (worth $93,000).
Why Smart Money Is Moving from Ethereum Bitcoin to Certain DeFi Tokens
Hayes’s move to slash his ETH holdings and pump capital into ENA, PENDLE, and ETHFI comes as Ethereum price experienced significant consolidation over the past few days, currently hovering at $2,936.66, down 0.2% and 3.3% over the past week and month, respectively. ETH’s continued correction remains as market volatility heightened and investor confidence weakened.
Hayes’ strategic decision to re-accumulating the above-mentioned DeFi tokens following Ether’s recent downturn reflects increased enthusiasm for such decentralized finance projects despite their market corrections. The transaction show wider whales’ demand on such innovative tokens as they are re-purchasing the outstanding DeFi assets at a discount. Prices of ENA, PENDLE, and ETHFI, currently stand at $0.1968, $1.70, and $0.6808, down 8.6%, 15.6%, and12.2% over the past week, respectively, showcasing their recent market dips.
Hayes’ acquisitions of the above tokens signify institutional interest as whales continue to build positions on select altcoins with growth potential as Ethereum displays persistent bearish sentiment.
ETH Price Prediction
Ether price dropped below the crucial $3,000 mark on December 15, 2025, last week and since then has continued to remain below the level. The largest altcoin is still under substantial pressure as bearish structure, heightened selling activities, and weak momentum weigh its price trajectory down.
Today, on Wednesday, December 24, ETH trades at $2,924.65 after it failed multiple times to hold above the psychologically significant $3,000 mark, a region that has traditionally acted as resistance. Continued selling activities (like the one noticed yestaday from institutional investor Wintermute and today from another, Arthur Hayes) show that if enough buyers don’t enter the market, then the digital asset risks to plunge towards the $2,500 level.
There is no reason for #Bitcoin to rise! YES, None!
We are currently at $87,500, and we will see a decline to around $70,000 in the coming period.
When we look at all the macro and micro data, the continuation of the downward trend is crucial for filling the gap in the market and allowing the price to stabilize.
Altcoins will drop significantly during this process, so be careful!

Strategy Adds Nearly a Billion Dollars in Bitcoin for Second Straight Week Michael Saylor’s firm is still buying big, adding $980 million worth of Bitcoin—slightly more than last week’s BTC haul.
Strategy is back in the business of buying large tranches of Bitcoin, announcing a weekly purchase of nearly $1 billion worth of BTC for the second straight week.
The publicly traded firm—formerly known as MicroStrategy—added 10,645 Bitcoin last week, according to an SEC filing, spending $980.3 million for an average price of $92,098 per coin. This follows the previous week’s purchase of 10,624 BTC for $963 million.
All told, the company now holds 671,268 BTC that it acquired for a total of about $50.33 billion, resulting in an average price of $74,972 per Bitcoin. At Bitcoin’s current price of $89,462, that puts the value of Strategy’s stash at approximately $60 billion.SOON GREEN ARE COMING PARABOLIC#USBitcoinReserveDiscussion #BTCVSGOLD

DO KWON SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR CRYPTO JUSTICE ⚖️
Do Kwon has officially been sentenced to 15 years in prison, marking a decisive end to one of the biggest frauds in crypto history. For years, Terra whistleblowers and victims fought an uphill battle. In the months after the Terra collapse in 2022, Do Kwon was living freely in Singapore doing interviews, dining in luxury, and promoting LUNA 2.0 as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, people had lost everything. Families were destroyed. Lives were lost. And anyone who spoke the truth was dismissed as “FUD” or “conspiracy.” But the facts were always there: • Chai and Mirror faked transactions on-chain to mislead investors. • Jump secretly bailed out UST, taking a massive bribe while publicly pretending the system “self-healed.” • Insiders came forward, sharing evidence that proved Terra’s collapse wasn’t a glitch it was engineered fraud. Whistleblowers, investigators, and victims spent months presenting evidence to the SEC, FBI, and SDNY. Slowly, the walls closed in. In October 2022, Do Kwon’s downfall began. In March 2023, he was arrested. In 2025, he stood in a US courtroom. Now, justice has caught up. This isn’t just about one man. It’s about showing that crypto crimes have real consequences and that people online can move mountains. The message is simple: Twitter is real life. Truth matters. Your voice matters. Even if you think you’re a nobody, with enough grit, organization, and persistence, you can bring real change. This community proved it. To everyone who fought, exposed the lies, stood with Terra victims, and refused to stay quiet this moment belongs to you. The battle isn’t over. New villains will appear. But as long as people keep pushing for truth, this industry still has a chance. Stay loud. Stay sharp. Stay united. $LUNC $LUNA {future}(1000LUNCUSDT)
GUYS, $SOL HOLDS TRENDLINE SUPPORT AHEAD OF POSSIBLE REBOUND
#Solana defended the rising trendline near 129 and is attempting to lift back toward the mid-range resistance. Buyers are eyeing the 138-140 zone as the next upside target. A break above could invite another push toward 145. A close below 128 would invalidate the recovery setup.
Ace Coin gave the perfect signal. I shorted a $4.40 position and captured a swift $1.20 profit—a 27% gain. This isn't about luck; it's about reading momentum and acting with precision. Even a small account can execute big-percentage plays. Ace delivered the setup, discipline delivered the win. On to the next! $ACE #AceCoin #CryptoTrading #SwingTrade #Short #Profit
And the second thing is paxg is not a gold this is a coin just like other crypto currencies it can be volatile dangerously so be aware

ITALY JUST SHOCKED EUROPE’S FINANCIAL SYSTEM! 🇮🇹✨
What’s happening right now is not a rumor and not a drill.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s party has pushed a new budget amendment declaring: Italy’s gold reserves held by the Bank of Italy officially belong to the state — to the Italian people.
And here’s the wild part… We’re talking about over $300 BILLION worth of gold 🤯💰 — the third-largest gold reserve on the planet.
🔥 Why is everyone losing it? Because a big portion of this gold is stored in the US, London, and Switzerland. And Rome is now drawing a hard line: “This gold is ours — and we want full control back!” 💥
Europe is rattled: 📉 Experts warn this could clash with EU rules on central bank independence ⚡ Analysts say it may shift the balance of power inside the Eurozone 🏛️ Some even call it the first major signal that countries are starting to reclaim real control over their sovereign reserves Global markets are watching closely — moves like this happen once in a decade. And this might just be the opening move of a much bigger financial game… 🔥🌍 ---

For any seasoned market participant, the most exciting moves aren't the violent, unpredictable spikes, but the slow, deliberate shifts in momentum. After a prolonged period of red and consolidation, we are witnessing exactly that—a gradual transition into green territory.
This isn't a fluke. It's a sign of underlying strength. Here’s why this is significant:
1. Sustainable Foundation: A slow build-up indicates accumulation, not just speculation. This creates a much stronger foundation for growth than a sudden, emotion-driven spike. 2. Shaking Out the Weakness: The prolonged red period served its purpose, shaking out impatient investors. Those who remain are typically more committed and long-term focused. 3. Seasonal Trends: Historically, December has often been a month of positive momentum, fueled by a variety of factors from institutional "window dressing" to renewed optimism.
The Bottom Line: While past performance is never a guarantee, the technical and psychological setup is aligning perfectly. The patient shift from red to green is the calm before the storm—a bullish storm.
Stay disciplined, trust your analysis, and prepare for what could be a very dynamic end to the year. December is poised to boom.

🚨 BREAKING: $OM Community Alert For 6 months, holders waited for real buybacks, burns, and recovery. But instead of transparency, we got a sudden new-token plan that benefits insiders — not the real $OM community. Trust was broken long before any “votes” or announcements. And until justice is served, no rebrand can bury the truth. #JusticeForOM #om #TransparencyNow #cryptotruth #CommunityFirst
Guys, pay close attention both $SOL and $SUI have officially entered the Rapid Risers list. This clearly shows strong interest, increasing searches, and early accumulation starting in the market. Whenever these two coins appear in this category, a powerful upside move usually follows shortly after.
At the same time, I’ve received a very strong update: major whales are preparing to inject heavy capital back into crypto. This type of movement doesn’t happen randomly it always signals a big wave coming. As soon as the liquidity flows in, the coins already showing early strength will explode the fastest.
So my dear community, stay mentally prepared. These moments look slow, but they are actually the beginning of massive rallies. SOL and $SUI can easily show aggressive surges within the next 24 48 hours, depending on how quickly the whales enter.
Just stay active, follow my calls on time, and secure your entries whenever I alert. The next strong move is loading and only those who act timely will catch the biggest profits.
