PANews reported on December 26th that, according to PeckShield, the attack on Trust Wallet browser extension version 2.68 has resulted in the theft of over $6 million in crypto assets. Approximately $2.8 million remains in the attacker’s address, while over $4 million has been transferred to multiple centralized exchanges (CEXs). Specifically, approximately $3.3 million flowed into ChangeNOW, approximately $340,000 into FixedFloat, and approximately $447,000 into KuCoin. Trust Wallet has urged users to immediately stop using this version.

PANews reported on December 31 that Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, wrote on the X platform: "Typically, during these last holiday trading sessions, many institutional investors exit the market, and algorithmic trading programs and bot trading programs begin to dominate the market, along with sell-offs for tax avoidance. These constitute the market dynamics in the last few days of December." Previously, in BitMine's announcement of acquiring 44,463 ETH last week, Tom Lee mentioned that market activity tends to slow down as the year enters its final weeks of holiday season. Year-end tax-avoidance selling depresses cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related stock prices, with this effect typically most pronounced between December 26th and December 30th; therefore, they are adjusting their market strategy accordingly. Earlier today, it was reported that Bitmine pledged another 118,944 ETH and increased its holdings by 32,938 ETH .
