Beat VELO RLS GUA LAB Headlines BlackRock: Fed rate cuts in 2026 may be limited

In a report, BlackRock strategists Amanda Lynam and Dominique Bly noted that the Federal Reserve is expected to implement only limited rate cuts in 2026. With a cumulative rate cut of 175 basis points in this cycle, the Fed is approaching its neutral interest rate level. Unless there is a sharp deterioration in the labor market, the room for further rate cuts in 2026 is quite limited. According to LSEG data, the market currently expects the Fed to implement two rate cuts in 2026.

Aave founder faces scrutiny for purchasing $10 million worth of AAVE tokens.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov recently sparked controversy in the community by purchasing $10 million worth of AAVE tokens. DeFi strategist and liquidity expert Robert Mullins wrote that the purchase was intended to increase Kulechov’s voting power in order to support a proposal that directly harms the best interests of token holders in an upcoming vote. Prominent crypto KOL Sisyphus also expressed similar concerns, stating that Kulechov may have sold millions of dollars worth of AAVE tokens between 2021 and 2025, and questioning the economic motives behind this buyback. This controversy comes as Aave token holders are debating how governance power is exercised in this DeFi protocol. Critics point out that large token purchases could materially influence voting results in high-risk governance proposals. Data shows that the top three voters in the Aave DAO control over 58% of the voting power, raising questions about the fairness of the governance mechanism.

Analysts: Gold’s medium- to long-term outlook remains optimistic.

Gold prices climbed again, continuing their upward trend after hitting a record high in the previous trading session. Swissquote senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya pointed out that gold prices have broken historical highs more than 50 times this year, and the core factors driving the current price increase have not subsided. She stated, “Theoretically, the medium- to long-term outlook for gold remains optimistic.”

Matrixport: In the current crypto market, fund flows have a stronger impact on prices than fundamentals.

Matrixport released a chart today stating that, from a pricing logic perspective, the main driver of crypto asset prices remains the inflow of new funds, rather than changes in the number of users or application scenarios themselves. This is particularly evident in the Ethereum ETF: during a period of sustained inflows of nearly $10 billion, the price of ETH rose from approximately $2,600 to $4,500; however, when the inflows slowed, the price quickly gave back those gains.

In an environment where new real demand is relatively limited, Ethereum, and the broader crypto market, remains highly sensitive to marginal changes in fund flows. Compared to the previous bull market, where the main themes revolved around narratives such as “adoption, revenue, and network growth,” and funds were willing to pay a premium for these expectations, in this cycle, price performance depends more on where funds flow, how fast they enter the market, and when funds suddenly stop flowing.

Understanding and proactively grasping these types of capital flows will be one of the core focuses of our subsequent research, and also a key area to track as we move towards 2026.

Industry News Barclays raises its forecast for US fourth-quarter GDP growth to 2%.

In a research note, Barclays economists pointed out that the Federal Reserve is likely to view the unexpected acceleration in US GDP in the third quarter as a sign that underlying demand remains strong. While volatile components such as net exports may have exaggerated the overall growth momentum, the continued expansion of consumer spending demonstrates fundamental resilience. Economists noted that although economic performance may fluctuate in the first half of 2025, aggregate demand has accumulated significant momentum by year-end. Based on this, Barclays slightly raised its forecast for fourth-quarter GDP year-on-year growth by about 0.3 percentage points to 2.0%.

The number of initial jobless claims unexpectedly declined, but the unemployment rate may remain high in December.

U.S. initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell last week, but the unemployment rate is likely to remain high in December due to sluggish employment. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims fell by 10,000 to 214,000 in the week ending December 20. Economists polled by Reuters had expected 224,000. Recent data has been volatile due to challenges in seasonal adjustments ahead of the holiday season. The labor market remains in what economists and policymakers call a “no hiring, no laying off” pattern. While the U.S. economy remains resilient, the labor market is virtually at a standstill. Continuing jobless claims rose by 38,000 to a seasonally adjusted 1.923 million in the week ending December 13. This increase is consistent with a survey released Tuesday by the Conference Board, which showed that consumer sentiment toward the labor market deteriorated this month to levels not seen since early 2021. The unemployment rate rose to a four-year high of 4.6% in November, though this was partly due to technical factors related to the government shutdown.

China Real Estate Investment Holdings plans to acquire digital assets such as BNB and include them in the company’s strategic reserves.

China Properties Investment Holdings Limited (736 HK) announced that its board of directors has resolved to proceed with its asset allocation plan: subject to compliance with relevant laws and regulations and risk management, it intends to use its own funds to purchase and hold BNB and other suitable digital assets in the open market as strategic reserve assets for the company.

Bitcoin will face its largest options expiration date in history this Friday, which could drive up its price.

This Friday, approximately $23.6 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire, marking the largest options expiration date in Bitcoin’s history.

Analysis indicates that the expiration date is exceptionally large, and the overall trend is bullish. The biggest pain point (the price level at which option buyers suffer the greatest loss and sellers the greatest profit at expiration) is $96,000, which will reinforce the upward price trend.

Project News Drift Foundation: Proposes to allocate $9 million in operating funds to Drift Labs through DIP-9 proposal.

The Drift Foundation has published the DIP-9 proposal in its governance forum. This proposal aims to establish a sustainable fee allocation framework to fund the continued development and growth of protocols.

According to the proposal, DIP-9 intends to allocate $1.5 million per month from its existing agreement fees to Drift Labs to support its operating expenses, including engineering infrastructure, subscriptions, and gas fees. If the proposal is approved, $9 million will be paid upfront to cover operating costs for the first half of 2026. Subsequent allocations will be made monthly over 18 months.

Currently, the Drift protocol ecosystem is performing robustly, with cumulative transaction fee revenue reaching $42 million. Voting on the proposal will begin on December 24, 2025, with an initial implementation period of two years.

Three executives at the Uniswap Foundation received $3.87 million in compensation for their work, which amounted to only “granting $10 million in grants.”

PaperImperium published an article on its X platform stating that Uniswap Foundation (UF) executive compensation levels are unusual. Financial statements show that Uniswap Foundation disbursed $9.9929 million in grants, while employee compensation expenses reached $4.7943 million, of which $3.8711 million was used to pay executive compensation. In 2024, 22% of Uniswap Foundation’s total expenditures were used to pay executive salaries.

In comparison, the Optimism Grants Council had a total grant budget of $63.5 million during the same period, while paying only $2.1393 million to review and follow-up staff. Even with the $500,000 KYC service fee included, the total compensation of the three Uniswap Foundation executives was equivalent to the entire operating costs of the Optimism Grants Council, while the amount of funds they contributed was only 20% of the latter.

Character voices CZ: Binance Wallet now supports identifying malicious addresses; you will receive a warning if you transfer funds to them.

CZ posted on Binance Square, stating, “The cryptocurrency industry should be able to completely eradicate address poisoning attacks and protect users. All wallets should simply check if the receiving address is a poisoned address and block the user. This is a blockchain query. Wallets shouldn’t even display these spam transactions anywhere. If the transaction’s value is small, filter it out. Security alliances in the industry should maintain a real-time blacklist of these addresses so that wallets can check them before sending transactions. Binance wallets already do this. If a user tries to send to a malicious address, they will receive a warning.”

Vitalik Buterin stated on the X platform that the notion that “bugs are inevitable and you can’t write bug-free code” will no longer hold true in the 2030s. Vitalik believes that while many software programs will still contain bugs (because functional improvements are more important in specific use cases), if developers truly desire bug-free code, this goal will be achievable in the 2030s.

Wintermute OTC Head: Major Cryptocurrencies Break Below Key Moving Averages, Causing Short-Term Funding Retreat

Jake, head of Wintermute OTC, wrote on the X platform, “Most traders naturally become trend followers, especially those who are solely driven by profit. Currently, BTC, ETH, and SOL are all trading below their respective moving averages, which is enough to make short-term speculators lose interest. But conversely, the same logic applies: once they regain their footing above key moving averages, funds will systematically flow back in, and market momentum will recover.”

Spark’s Chief Strategy Officer: The vote for control of the Aave brand is essentially a battle for traffic and future direction.

Spark’s strategy lead, monetsupply.eth, posted on X that many people lack the necessary background understanding of the Aave incident.

Over the past few years, Avara and Aave Labs have been advancing the development of Aave v4 (a project funded by a $15 million grant from the DAO); meanwhile, ACI, BGD, TokenLogic, LlamaRisk, and other service providers (SPs) and the DAO have focused their efforts on expanding and growing Aave v3.

During this period, Aave v3 grew into the largest on-chain lending protocol and also became a significant cash cow (generating tens of millions of dollars in net annual revenue). From any perspective, the efforts made by the DAO and service providers around v3 can be considered a huge success. In contrast, during the development of Avara v4, a considerable amount of its energy was devoted to projects or acquisitions that were not directly related to the Aave ecosystem, and these attempts ultimately failed to bring incremental value to the Aave ecosystem.

This has led to some disagreement regarding the future direction of the Aave protocol, primarily concerning two paths: one is a full-fledged focus on migrating to v4 and effectively beginning to phase out v3; the other is to allow v3 and v4 to run in parallel for a long period, while continuing to support v3 for an extended time. Aave Labs leans towards the first option, while ACI, BGD, and other service providers generally prefer the second.

Against this backdrop, control over the Aave brand and IP, especially the aave.com front-end, becomes particularly crucial. This front-end is currently the most important and widely used entry point for users to access the Aave protocol. This is not only about the fees generated by the front-end redemption function, but also about who controls the “traffic entrance” of the Aave ecosystem and what v3/v4 development roadmap will ultimately be adopted.

Related: Miners Amidst the Bitcoin Crash: Who’s Profiting? Who’s Holding On?

Original translation by Chopper The financial logic of Bitcoin miners is quite simple: they survive on fixed protocol revenue but face fluctuating real-world expenses. When markets are volatile, they are the first to feel the pressure on their balance sheets. Miners’ revenue comes from selling the Bitcoins they mine, while their operating costs are primarily the electricity bills for the heavy computers needed to run mining. This week, I tracked some key data for Bitcoin miners: the network pays them, the cost of earning that revenue, the remaining profit after deducting cash outlays, and the final net profit after accounting. With Bitcoin prices currently below $90,000, miners are facing difficulties. Over the past two months, miners’ average 7-day revenue has dropped 35% from $60 million to $40 million. Let me…
