🔥 Celsius continues to repay debts, creditors receive positive news 🔥

💥 Celsius is preparing to distribute 476 million USD to creditors — equivalent to 9.5% of total compensation claims, and it is the largest payout to date.

✨ This amount comes from 531 million USD in net assets, after deducting 55 million USD for the costs of closing operations.
✨ The previous payout was only 220 million USD (4.5%), which means this time it is more than double.
✨ Additionally, there is still 579 million USD pending (disputes, accounts not yet received…), which may be used for future payouts.

📌 According to the analysis, there will be at least 2 more rounds of payments, and creditors are still waiting for the expected timeline in December.

💥💥 Crypto 2025–2026: Clear laws → organized funds into

✅ Stablecoins are the focus of policy

✅ Clear legal framework → financial organizations participating
About 80% of the market sees crypto initiatives from banks and financial organizations when the legal framework is established.

✅ Effective management helps reduce risks
Supervised VASPs have a lower level of involvement in illegal activities compared to the overall market.

✅ Trends for 2026
Stabilizing laws among countries, tightening AML, expanding stablecoins and tokenizing assets, banks participating in public blockchain.

🔍 Crypto is shifting from "freedom to experiment" to growth based on legal frameworks and compliance.

🚨 OpenAI could burn more than 140 billion USD before turning a profit

💸 Forecast 2024–2029:
• Revenue: 345 billion USD
• Expenses: 488 billion USD
→ Free cash flow: –143 billion USD

⚡ Computing costs have skyrocketed, far outpacing revenue growth

📉 Subscribers in Europe have stagnated since May

🏗️ The data center plan of 1.4 trillion USD has not yet been factored into this loss

Deutsche Bank: OpenAI is in "uncharted territory."

Will the next generation of AI products be enough to offset this record cash burn? 🤖🔥

🇮🇹 Italy sets a deadline for MiCA for crypto platforms

The regulatory agency CONSOB has established a clear deadline for MiCA:
⏳ 30/12/2025: All VASPs must
✔️ Submit an application for MiCA licensing (in Italy or any EU country), or
❌ Leave the Italian market.
⏱️ Applications submitted on time are allowed to operate until 30/06/2026 during the review period.

❗ VASPs that do not submit applications must:
– Cease operations in Italy
– Terminate contracts
– Refund customer assets & funds
– Notify users of the plan

CONSOB advises investors to check whether the platform they are using is preparing to comply with MiCA — if unclear, they should request to withdraw funds.

MiCA across the EU is tightening, and ESMA also emphasizes that transition phases will soon come to an end.

Crypto news today 🌐🔥

• Western Union continues to expand into stablecoins with the "stable card" product aimed at high inflation countries like Argentina — where inflation is at 250–300%/year. Goal: to protect the value of remittances before recipients can use them.

• Strategy raised $1.44 billion in just 8.5 days to quell FUD related to the ability to pay dividends during the Bitcoin downturn. This reserve is now sufficient to cover 21 months of dividends.

• Poland cannot overcome President Nawrocki's veto of the crypto bill under the MiCA standard, causing the legal process to revert to the beginning and reigniting the debate between innovation and national security.

🚀 The Liveliness index of Bitcoin has reached a new high

The liveliness indicator — measuring the difference between the amount of BTC spent and held — has just surged to an all-time high. 📈

Analysts suggest that this reflects very strong spot demand and indicates that the bullish cycle is not yet over.

The dormant BTC supply is being activated and moving on a massive scale, marking one of the largest capital rotations in Bitcoin's history. 💼➡️💰

Currently, BTC is accumulating in the range of $86,000–$92,000. If it surpasses $92,000, the bullish trend could explode; if not, the price may retest the upper $80,000 range to form a double bottom.

Overview: Bitcoin may be approaching the bottom → opening up the possibility of a strong rally from Q4–Q1. 🔥

🔈🔈 CFTC for the first time "greenlights" crypto spot trading in the US

💥 For the first time in history, the CFTC officially approved crypto spot trading under federal regulation. Bitnomial becomes the first exchange permitted to list and trade legal spot crypto in the US, with full clearing and oversight like traditional commodity markets.

✔️ Ending the prolonged "legal gray area"
✔️ Paving the way for institutional money to return to domestic crypto
✔️ Setting a precedent for other exchanges to seek licensing
✔️ The US returns to the race to become a digital financial center, competing directly with the EU (MiCA) and Asia

🛡 Bitnomial is expected to officially start operations from 08/12, marking a major turning point for the crypto market in the US.

💥💥 Strategy to establish a reserve fund of 1.44 billion USD, raising total holdings to 650,000 BTC

🔥 Strategy announces the establishment of a cash reserve fund of 1.44 billion USD from the sale of MSTR shares, aiming to ensure dividend payments and interest obligations for at least 12 months (targeting 24 months). At the same time, the company purchased an additional 130 BTC, increasing total holdings to 650,000 Bitcoin (~3.1% of total maximum supply).

👑 CEO Phong Le stated that the fund currently has enough for ~21 months of payments, helping to reduce FUD and stabilize investor confidence amid market fluctuations.

🔥 Solana & Base officially connects through Chainlink CCIP 🔥

💥 Base (Coinbase's Layer-2) has launched a bridge with Solana, secured by Chainlink CCIP, allowing seamless asset transfers between EVM (Base) and non-EVM (Solana).

✨ Users can trade SOL & SPL tokens on Base
✨ DApps like Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Relay… are ready for integration
✨ Opens up cross-chain liquidity, offering multi-chain experiences without needing multiple wallets

💎 This is a significant milestone for cross-chain interoperability, positioning Base as a multi-chain hub, not just confined to the EVM ecosystem.

🔥 AlphaTON wants to raise 420.69 million USD to expand investment in TON & Telegram's AI ecosystem 🔥

💥 AlphaTON Capital Corp (ATON), the treasury management unit of TON, has just submitted an application to the SEC to raise 420.69 million USD. Objective: to strongly expand the TON portfolio and promote the AI ecosystem – mini-app on Telegram.

⭐️ Key highlights:
✨ AlphaTON escapes the “baby shelf rule,” allowing for larger capital raises.
✨ 3 core investment directions:
🔹 Buy more Toncoin, expand treasury & staking position.
🔹 M&A of companies in the Telegram ecosystem (payments, content, mini-app, TON solutions).
🔹 Enhance AI infrastructure – especially Cocoon Network, Telegram's decentralized AI computing network (AlphaTON has deployed Nvidia B200 GPU for mining).

💎 Strong backing: BitGo, Animoca Brands, Kraken, SkyBridge…

🛡 AlphaTON is positioning itself to become a “big player” in the TON ecosystem – both investing, providing liquidity, and acting as a connector for the entire ecosystem.

💥💥 ETHGas launches Open Gas Initiative – a major step forward in bringing Ethereum to a gasless future

🔥 ETHGas officially implements the Open Gas Initiative (OGI), a program that allows projects to sponsor gas fees for users without the need for code integration. The goal: to transform Ethereum into a real-time economy, with smooth transactions like Web2 and no visible gas fees.

💡 Highlights of OGI
✅ Monthly gas refunds for users (ETH, and later with project tokens).
✅ Helps protocols increase user retention, boost TVL & liquidity.
✅ Gasless Flywheel mechanism: project sponsors gas → users receive rewards → activity increases → ecosystem develops.
✅ Supports Ethereum mainnet, soon expanding to BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum.

🤝 4 projects participating in the initial phase:
EigenLayer • Ether.fi • Pendle • Velvet Capital

💎 3-phase roadmap
✅ Management: monthly gas refunds
✅ Programming: prioritizing rewards based on tasks (swap, stake...)
✅ Automation: completely eliminating gas thanks to new standards like EIP-7702

📣 Significance
✅ Users: gas from costs → rewards, receive refunds every month.
✅ Protocols: lower gas barriers, stimulate high-value activities without needing to mint additional tokens.

🚩 ETHGas believes that OGI is a crucial stepping stone for Ethereum to enter the gasless era, enabling instant transactions, optimizing UX while still maintaining decentralization.

📉 BlackRock said the outflow of $2.34B from the Bitcoin ETF IBIT in November is "completely normal."

💬 ETFs are very liquid, and strong volatility is easy to see when the market compresses, especially with retail investors.

📊 IBIT nearly reached $100B AUM at the peak of the cycle.

📈 IBIT investors have now returned to profits of $3.2B after BTC rebounded above $90K.

🔄 The Bitcoin ETF recorded $70M inflow, ending a 4-week streak of net outflows.

🔥 The Ether ETF also surged with $312.6M inflow.

🇨🇳 Why is Bitcoin mining activity in China experiencing a strong resurgence after 4 years of prohibition?

After the "great ban" in 2021, it seemed that the BTC mining industry had come to an end in China. However, from 2024 to 2025, the country's hashrate unexpectedly rebounded, reclaiming 14-20% of the global network.

Main reasons:

⚡ Cheap & surplus electricity
Provinces like Xinjiang and Sichuan have an excess of coal and hydroelectric power – not fully utilized, so it's used for BTC mining.

🏭 Data centers with excess capacity
Many data centers built too large → excess load → allowing miners to rent at low prices.

💰 BTC price surges from 2024
High prices → improved mining profit margins → activities resume.

🏗️ Canaan mining machine sales increase
From 2.8% of revenue in China (2022) → 50%+ in 2025 → signaling a recovery in mining demand.

🌐 Policy changes
China is no longer "cleanly banned".
– Hong Kong opens a legal framework for stablecoins
– The mainland experiments with e-CNY & RMB stablecoin → moving towards a "selective management" approach.

🧩 Conclusion:
Despite having previously banned it, China remains an energy powerhouse — and BTC “absorbs” that surplus electricity. This return shows that the Bitcoin network continues to adapt, no matter how geopolitical circumstances change.

FDIC is about to announce a legal framework for stablecoins this month

According to Acting Chair of the FDIC Travis Hill, the agency will propose regulations to implement the GENIUS Act, including requirements for capital, liquidity, and reserves for stablecoin issuers. 💼

The Fed is also coordinating with other agencies to finalize standards for stablecoins. 🔍📊
