Recently, a viewpoint on XRP price prediction has sparked widespread discussion in the crypto community. A researcher from South Korea made a bold assertion that, within the next 10 years, XRP could rise to $1000. This viewpoint quickly spread on the X platform but also triggered a lot of skepticism. Regarding the question "Will XRP really surge?", market opinions are clearly divided. The researcher pointed out that for XRP to achieve a long-term significant increase, multiple macroeconomic conditions need to occur simultaneously, including large-scale market accumulation worldwide, continuous depreciation of the US dollar, and a long-term high inflation environment. He believes that under extreme macroeconomic conditions, capital may flow into cryptocurrencies on a large scale, causing Ripple's price to experience a parabolic rise. Although he admits that this prediction is very aggressive, from a mathematical and theoretical perspective, it is not entirely impossible.

Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted on the X platform that more than half of the options will expire this Friday, which will lead to increased market signal noise. It is not advisable to rely on options data as trading signals in the near term. Although the trading volume of Put options accounts for 30%, this is not a bearish signal, as institutions will reposition in advance to hedge risks.

Garrett Jin stated on the X platform that last week's sell-off of AI concept stocks in the US stock market was likely caused by misinterpretation by analysts. This week, the artificial intelligence sector has begun to rebound, indicating that the panic sentiment has ended. ETH has a high correlation with the Nasdaq 100 Index, which may suggest that ETH will bottom out and rebound.

Recently, the price of Pippin (PIPPIN) has been continuously strengthening, attracting significant market attention. An unusual phenomenon is that despite many traders attempting to short PIPPIN, the cryptocurrency price continues to rise, forming a clear short squeeze pattern. This has also become a key factor driving the short-term upward trend. From an on-chain perspective, the price movement of Pippin is not "natural." Bubblemaps data shows that only about 93 wallets control 80% of the PIPPIN token supply, with highly concentrated holdings, making the price more susceptible to influence from a small amount of capital, significantly increasing volatility risk. At the same time, over the past few months, neither the project team nor its official X platform account has made any substantial updates, with fundamental information noticeably lacking.

Billionaire Elon Musk recently expressed an optimistic outlook on the US economic prospects, drawing significant attention from the Bitcoin community. Musk stated on the X platform that the US economy is expected to achieve "double-digit growth" within the next 12 to 18 months, with the earliest possible achievement by the end of 2026. He also pointed out that if the role of artificial intelligence in boosting productivity and economic growth is fully realized, there is even a possibility of achieving "triple-digit growth" within the next five years. This statement quickly sparked discussions in the crypto market. For a long time, Bitcoin investors have closely monitored macroeconomic trends, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and liquidity changes, as these factors often directly impact Bitcoin prices and overall crypto asset valuations. As market expectations for a rate cut cycle increase, a loose financial environment is seen as a key catalyst supporting risk assets.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that CZ posted on the X platform stating that when Bitcoin reaches its all-time high, investors often have the idea of wanting to buy earlier.

Decentralized prediction market Polymarket recently faced account security controversies. Multiple users have reported that their Polymarket accounts were hacked without any abnormal operations, and funds within the accounts were quickly transferred out. In response to these series of account thefts, Polymarket officials have attributed the issue to an unnamed third-party login service provider. According to the platform's response on the official Discord channel, after user reports of fund loss and abnormal login activity, Polymarket has confirmed a security incident. Multiple user posts from Reddit and X indicate that some users, after receiving login alerts not initiated by themselves, found their account balances emptied. One user stated that neither their device nor other accounts had been compromised, but only $0.01 remained in their Polymarket account.

The debate over whether airdropped tokens should be held long-term or sold as soon as possible has once again become the focus of the crypto market. A recent on-chain and market data analysis shows that most airdropped tokens perform far below expectations after issuance, with rapid price declines becoming the norm. This has led to the view that "cash out immediately" is increasingly seen as a more rational strategy. Crypto trader Didi shared his airdrop records over the past year on the X platform, with quite a harsh result: out of 30 received airdrops, only 1 token is currently trading above its issuance price (TGE). Among them, M3M3 has dropped 99.64%, Elixir 99.50%, USUAL 97.67%; even well-known projects like Magic Eden have fallen 96.6%, Jupiter 75.9%, and Monad over 39%. The only token with a positive return is Avantis, which has increased by 30.4%.

ChainCatcher news, recently several institutions/analysts have been discussing the four-year cycle pattern of Bitcoin. Well-known encryption KOL AlΞx Wacy posted on the X platform stating that the four-year cycle has not been broken, but rather the expectations of people have been broken. The prices of alts have experienced a big dump, with no frenzy, no altcoin season, only boredom and pain. He pointed out that stocks have hit a historical high, the price of artificial intelligence has soared, and gold has performed exceptionally well. The cycle does not always end; sometimes it can extend, and most people have already exited. When the market reverses, those individuals will not participate again.

In addition, his newly opened ZEC long order today was closed at a stop loss after holding for less than four hours, resulting in a slight loss of about $10,000.

As the Pi Network Mainnet plans approach, various scams surrounding "Pi prices" are rapidly spreading. The core team of Pi Network has recently issued another official warning, pointing out that numerous posts circulating on social platforms X and Telegram claim that the Pi price has reached 314 dollars or even 1000 dollars, and all related information is false. Currently, there is no official market price for Pi Network, nor is there any "real-time Pi price." The core team emphasizes three points: First, any website displaying the real-time price of Pi is a scam; second, any request for a mnemonic phrase or private key is a fraud; third, any private message claiming to be from the Pi official is not trustworthy. This statement is seen as a concentrated response to the recent Pi Network price scams and phishing attacks.

Recently, numerous unverified rumors have sparked heated discussions in the Crypto Assets community, focusing on Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu. Posts circulating on social platform X suggest that Jihan Wu may face fines of up to several billion dollars, the risk of detention, and even a complete fallout with another co-founder, Micree Zhan. The statements related to this matter are contradictory, and insiders in the Crypto Assets circle are trying to verify this event, which is seen as a major crisis in the industry. As a leading enterprise in global Bitcoin mining hardware, Bitmain's mining machines support over seventy percent of Bitcoin's hashing power, while also providing chips for AI data centers running Nvidia's H100. Today, this core infrastructure company stands at the intersection of geopolitical tensions, legal scrutiny, and internal corporate governance conflicts.

Jinse Finance reports that in response to the "50 million USDT phishing attack" incident, the Ethereum Community Foundation issued a statement on the X platform indicating that the practice of truncating addresses with ellipses (e.g., 0xbaf4b1aF...B6495F8b5) should be stopped immediately. Address information needs to be displayed in full, as hiding parts of the address can create unnecessary risks. Furthermore, some UI options provided by certain wallets and blockchain explorers also have security issues, which can actually be resolved. It is reported that the phisher previously generated an address with the same first and last three characters, and the victim transferred 50 million USDT to the similar address generated by the phisher without carefully checking the copied address.

On December 21, news came that Sean Farrell, the head of cryptocurrency strategy at Tom Lee's Fundstrat, responded on the X platform regarding the "discrepancy between his market views and those of Tom Lee". He stated that the cautious views from the earlier part of the year reflected risk management rather than a completely bearish stance. The current market pricing is almost perfect, but risks still exist, including government shutdowns, trade fluctuations, uncertainties in artificial intelligence capital expenditures, and changes in the Fed chair. At the same time, high-yield bond spreads are tightening, and cross-asset volatility is low. Recently, fund flows have also shown divergence. The current benchmark assessment suggests that a rebound may occur at the beginning of the year, followed by another pullback in the first half of the year, providing more attractive opportunities for year-end positioning. If the judgment is wrong, I would prefer to wait for confirmation signals. For investors following this outlook, I still expect Bitcoin and Ethereum to
