ChainCatcher news, Nischal Shetty, founder of India's largest cryptocurrency exchange WazirX, confirms that the long-standing ownership dispute with Binance has entered the formal litigation stage. The dispute dates back to 2019 when Binance announced its acquisition of WazirX, but the two sides have since publicly 'clashed' multiple times over control and operational rights. Shetty states that it is now a case of 'each sticking to their own story,' and the outcome of the litigation is crucial.

WazirX had attributed part of the responsibility for the 2024 hacking incident (losses exceeding $230 million) to its multi-signature custody infrastructure, but Liminal publicly refuted this and released data to question the claim.

BlockBeats News, December 27th, SharpLink Gaming Co-CEO Joseph Chalom tweeted that the surge in stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and growing interest from sovereign wealth funds could drive a significant increase in Ethereum TVL by the end of 2026, with the stablecoin market size reaching $500 billion.Joseph Chalom stated that tokenized RWAs will reach $300 billion by 2026, with the managed scale of tokenized assets growing tenfold, expanding from tokenization of individual funds, stocks, and bonds to tokenization of entire fund portfolios. The amount of ETH held by sovereign wealth funds and the scale of tokenization will increase 5-10 times. Over the past year, growing interest from financial services companies including JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock in Ethereum has been a major catalyst.Notably, SharpLink unstaked 35,627 ETH this morning, valued at $104.4 million.

BlockBeats News, December 27, According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, Ethereum contract trading volume this year far exceeds previous years' levels. Taking Binance as an example, over the past year, Ethereum futures trading volume has exceeded $6.74 trillion, nearly double that of 2024, which itself had already set a historical record. Thus, it can be said that Ethereum is one of the assets with the highest trading volume in the global derivatives market in 2025, highlighting the strength of speculative demand.Over the past year, the spot-to-futures ratio has been approximately 0.2, meaning that for every $1 invested in buying ETH on Binance's spot market, nearly $5 is allocated to futures contracts. This ratio is characteristic of markets highly reliant on leverage, reflecting extreme speculation on Ethereum in 2025. Record trading volume combined with such an imbalanced ratio indicates that futures largely dictate Ethereum's price movements.Consequently, Ethereum's price volatility this year has often been amplified, disorderly, and highly dependent on liquidations, ultimately leading to it setting a new all-time high by only a few dollars.
