ChainCatcher reports that data shows during the Christmas week, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant capital outflows, with a cumulative net outflow of approximately $782 million. Among them, the single-day net outflow on Friday reached $276 million, marking the peak outflow during the holiday period.Specifically, BlackRock's IBIT saw a single-day outflow of nearly $193 million, Fidelity's FBTC had an outflow of about $74 million, while Grayscale's GBTC continued with small but persistent redemptions. As a result, the total assets under management for spot Bitcoin ETFs dropped to around $113.5 billion, down from over $120 billion earlier in December.It is noteworthy that despite the capital outflows, Bitcoin's price remained near $87,000, indicating that this withdrawal is more likely due to year-end asset rebalancing and reduced holiday liquidity rather than market panic.Analysis points out that this marks the sixth consecutive trading day of net outflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs, with cumulative outflows exceeding $1.1 billion, representing the longest outflow cycle since this autumn. However, institutional sources believe that holiday outflows are not uncommon, and as trading resumes in January, institutional funds may flow back in, making ETF fund trends more meaningful for reference at that time.

BlockBeats news, December 29th, data shows that during Christmas week, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced large-scale capital outflows, with cumulative net outflows of approximately $782 million. Among them, the single-day net outflow on Friday reached $276 million, marking the peak outflow during the holiday period.Specifically, BlackRock's IBIT saw a single-day outflow of nearly $193 million, Fidelity's FBTC recorded an outflow of about $74 million, while Grayscale's GBTC continued with small but persistent redemptions. As a result, the total assets under management of Bitcoin spot ETFs dropped to around $113.5 billion, down from over $120 billion earlier in December.Notably, despite the capital outflows, Bitcoin prices remained around $87,000, indicating that this withdrawal is more likely due to year-end asset rebalancing and reduced holiday liquidity rather than market panic.Analysis points out that this marks the sixth consecutive trading day of net outflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs, with cumulative outflows exceeding $1.1 billion, representing the longest outflow cycle since this autumn. However, institutional sources believe that holiday outflows are not uncommon, and with the resumption of trading in January, institutional funds may flow back, making ETF capital trends more indicative at that time.

ChainCatcher reports, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum falls below $2,900, the cumulative long position liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $395 million. Conversely, if Ethereum breaks above $3,000, the cumulative short position liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $497 million.The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts awaiting liquidation or the precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance, or intensity, of each liquidation cluster compared to nearby clusters. Therefore, the liquidation chart illustrates the extent to which the underlying price reaching a certain level will be affected. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that point, a more intense reaction will occur due to liquidity waves.

BlockBeats News, December 29: Indian police in Hyderabad arrested a former Coinbase customer service representative suspected of involvement in the insider data breach disclosed by Coinbase in May this year, marking the first known arrest in the case. The news was confirmed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.The incident dates back to December 2024, with investigations revealing that cybercriminals bribed overseas customer service personnel to gain access to internal systems, stealing sensitive information from 69,461 users, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and government-issued identification documents.Coinbase stated that the attackers attempted to extort $20 million, which the company refused to pay, instead establishing a bounty program of the same amount to track down and apprehend those involved. Coinbase disclosed in its second-quarter financial report that the incident has resulted in $307 million in related expenses, covering user compensation, legal fees, and security upgrade costs.Additionally, Coinbase is currently facing a shareholder class-action lawsuit, accused of failing to disclose the incident in a timely manner and misleading investors. Coinbase stated it will continue to cooperate with international law enforcement agencies in the investigation, hinting that further arrests may follow.

BlockBeats news, December 29, according to Coinglass data, CEXs have seen a cumulative net inflow of 31,000 ETH over the past 24 hours, with the top three CEXs by inflow as follows:· Binance, inflow of 22,300 ETH;· Coinbase Pro, inflow of 11,600 ETH;· Gate, inflow of 2,745.41 ETH.Additionally, OKX had an outflow of 2,072.21 ETH, ranking first on the outflow list.

BlockBeats news, December 29, according to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency analyst Adam Livingston pointed out that since 2015, Bitcoin has accumulated a gain of approximately 27,701%, significantly outperforming silver's roughly 405% and gold's about 283% over the same period, calling it the 'top asset.' Long-time gold advocate and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff countered, arguing that only the performance of the past 4 years should be compared, and stated that 'Bitcoin's time has passed.'In response, Matt Golliher, co-founder of Bitcoin wealth management firm Orange Horizon Wealth, said that commodity prices tend to converge toward production costs over the long term, and price increases stimulate supply growth; whereas Bitcoin has a fixed supply attribute, making its logic different.In 2025, precious metal prices surged significantly, with gold hitting a historic high of approximately $4,533 per ounce and silver approaching $80 per ounce; however, Bitcoin's performance was relatively stagnant. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell nearly 10% during the year, marking one of its worst annual performances in a decade. Arthur Hayes believes that the Federal Reserve's accommodative policies and the weakening dollar will serve as long-term tailwinds for scarce assets, including gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

BlockBeats News, December 29: David Duong, Head of Investment Research at Coinbase, stated, "We believe that dedicated blockchain networks are rapidly emerging (including L2s, independent L1s, and application-specific chains) and are swiftly reshaping the competitive landscape of crypto infrastructure. For example, the Arc platform built by Circle is designed for institutional-grade application scenarios centered around USDC, aiming to become compliant, optimal institutional infrastructure; while the Tempo network incubated by Stripe and Paradigm focuses on opening up institutional payment channels, targeting the massive cross-border payment and international trade market. Another example is Canton Network, which is building a private, permissioned blockchain environment specifically to unlock trillions of dollars in institutional capital 'locked' by asset tokenization and securities exchanges.This resulting infrastructure fragmentation is not accidental but a strategic response by the institutional layer to a core issue: large institutions are generally unwilling to outsource their core business logic to platforms controlled by competitors. The underlying logic lies in—strategic control. An increasing number of companies are choosing to launch their own blockchains to control their data sovereignty, compliance environment, and the financial value accumulated by network effects. In the short term, this trend may further accelerate, with institutions continuing to launch dedicated chains for high-value, heavily regulated capital flows, prioritizing customized governance, fee structures, privacy controls, and compliance features over using generic shared infrastructure.But in the long run, we believe the endgame is not infinitely fragmented 'island chains,' but a network-of-networks architecture: these highly customized blockchains will achieve deep composability through advanced interoperability layers, such as native cross-chain messaging, shared security mechanisms based on staking/restaking, and privacy-preserving cross-chain bridges. The ultimate winners will be projects that can balance vertical depth optimization with horizontal seamless interconnection—achieving cross-chain atomic settlement, unified liquidity pools, and synchronized flow of real-world assets (RWA); while laggards may become trapped in isolated ecosystems, gradually marginalized in a market environment that increasingly rewards compliance, liquidity, and the free flow of institutional capital."
