PANews reported on January 2nd that Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, stated on the X platform that the current total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $3.1 trillion (a 14% decrease over the past year), but in 2009, this number was zero. For the crypto industry, 2025 signifies the end of the "easy win" era: venture capital pump-and-dump schemes, Memecoin, and DAT have all failed. However, last year saw the first instance in cryptocurrency history where products not relying on token speculation outperformed other products, such as Polymarket and stablecoins. In the future, to achieve excess returns, it is essential to develop and use such products. Three things in the crypto industry remain constant: 1. You must see through the true nature of the fraudster; 2. The macroeconomic trends of declining trust in institutions and the increasing importance of the internet are real, and credible neutral currencies offer worthwhile investment opportunities. 3. Only two cryptocurrencies have credible neutrality: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

He emphasized that Ethereum's core mission is to build a truly decentralized "world computer" that supports applications that can continue running even if developers disappear or infrastructure collapses. Buterin noted that Ethereum is not chasing short-term trends or filling block space, but is committed to establishing a more free and open internet infrastructure, achieving scalability and genuine decentralization.

BlockBeats news, January 2, CryptoOnchain posted data on social media indicating a large-scale inflow of funds into Binance from Ethereum, with the net inflow surging to 24,500 ETH, marking the highest record since July. Such a significant net inflow typically signals that more ETH is being transferred to trading platforms, often a precursor to selling pressure. This phenomenon may reflect whales preparing to sell or traders adjusting positions for derivatives hedging.Currently, ETH is consolidating sideways around $2,980, and the increased supply on trading platforms may limit short-term upside potential. Historically, similar spikes in fund inflows have often been accompanied by higher volatility or downtrends. Overall, the current setup remains bearish in the short term, requiring caution for those holding long positions.

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 .
