“Lighter Specific Airdrop Date” Generates Controversy on Polymarket

Lighter announced today the launch of its token LIT and completed the airdrop. As of Eastern Time, the probability of "Lighter airdropping on December 30" on Polymarket has reached 95%. However, the specific airdrop date for Lighter has entered the UMA dispute determination period on Polymarket. A user submitted a dispute to the oracle UMA regarding the determination result of "Lighter airdropping on December 29" as "no." According to Eastern Time, the Lighter airdrop occurred just within an hour before and after December 29 and December 30, which may have caused the controversy. Note: Polymarket relies on the oracle UMA for event result determination. After an event occurs, anyone can report the result to UMA. After the report is submitted, there will be a dispute period during which anyone who believes the report is incorrect can raise a dispute. If no one disputes, the report result will be accepted; if there is a dispute, UMA's dispute resolution mechanism will determine the final result. The dispute resolution method requires UMA token holders to vote to decide the correct result, and UMA will incentivize honest behavior and punish malicious actions.

Federal Reserve Staff's Economic Growth Forecast Accelerates Compared to October

The Federal Reserve meeting minutes' staff economic outlook mentioned that overall, compared to the forecasts prepared for the October meeting, the actual GDP growth rate is expected to accelerate slightly by 2028, mainly reflecting that financial market conditions are expected to provide greater support, and expectations for potential output growth have improved. After 2025, as the negative impacts of high tariffs diminish and fiscal policy and financial market conditions continue to support spending, GDP growth is expected to remain above the potential growth rate by 2028. Therefore, the unemployment rate is expected to gradually decline after this year and reach a level slightly below the staff's estimate of the natural unemployment rate by 2027. Overall, staff inflation forecasts for 2025 and 2026 are slightly lower than those presented at the October meeting, but forecasts for 2027 and 2028 are similar to previous ones.

Russian Ministry of Justice Proposes Criminal Penalties for Illegal Cryptocurrency Mining, Up to 5 Years in Prison

The Russian Ministry of Justice recently submitted a draft amendment to the Criminal Code aimed at cracking down on unregistered illegal cryptocurrency mining activities in the country. According to the draft, illegal mining activities will face fines of up to 1.5 million rubles (approximately $19,000) or up to two years of compulsory labor. If illegal mining activities involve significant profits, the maximum prison term can reach 5 years, along with fines of up to 2.5 million rubles (approximately $31,800) or 480 hours of compulsory labor. The amendment also sets penalties of up to 5 years in prison or compulsory labor for significant profits realized by illegal "organizations." Russian Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov stated that as of June 19, 2025, only about 30% of cryptocurrency miners have completed registration and achieved operational legalization, while most practitioners remain in a "gray area." According to current regulations, individual miners with a monthly electricity consumption of less than 6,000 kilowatt-hours do not need to register but are still required to pay personal income tax.

Meta's Acquisition of Manus AI Could Total $2.5 Billion

Meta's acquisition of AI application Manus AI is valued at approximately $2.5 billion, which includes retention incentives for core employees. Reports indicate that Manus AI completed a $75 million Series B funding round led by Benchmark in May of this year, with the company valued at around $500 million at that time. This acquisition is seen as another case of the rapid re-evaluation of exit values in the AI industry, primarily driven by the rapid revenue growth of related products in the short term. Public information shows that Manus AI focuses on a general-purpose AI agent capable of performing various real-world tasks such as market research, code writing, data analysis, and resume screening, positioning itself beyond traditional chatbots or workflow tools. The company offers services to enterprise clients on a subscription basis and claims to have achieved over $100 million in annual recurring revenue within months of product launch. This transaction has also sparked some controversy. The early team background of Manus AI is related to China, but the company is headquartered in Singapore, and its approximately 100 Chinese employees have since completed their relocation. Axios points out that this will mark Meta's first significant move into the enterprise-level AI agent space, which may help it narrow the gap in competition with Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. However, the market is also concerned about Meta's past controversies regarding data compliance and privacy, and whether enterprise clients are willing to consider it as a core AI service provider remains to be seen.

Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America: The Federal Reserve Should Not Occupy Too Much Public Attention

Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, pointed out that the size of the U.S. economy far exceeds that of the Federal Reserve (Fed), which should not occupy so much public attention. In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" aired last Sunday, Moynihan was asked about Trump's upcoming nomination of a new Fed chair to replace Powell and what it means for consumers. "People are too obsessed with the Fed," Moynihan said. He added that the economy is driven by the private sector, which includes small, medium, and large businesses as well as entrepreneurs. "The idea that our fate hinges on the Fed adjusting rates by 25 basis points is, in my view, just crazy," he stated.

Matrixport: Ethereum's "Triangle" Pattern Approaching Critical Position, Direction Confirmation Expected in 2026

Matrixport released a chart today stating that in the last cycle, Ethereum attracted incremental funds driven by expectations of expansion in the smart contract platform ecosystem and the "Programmable Money" narrative, pushing prices up rapidly in 2020-2021; at the peak of sentiment in 2021, the market had expectations of prices reaching $10,000. However, the trend did not continue. After a high retreat, Ethereum entered a long-term consolidation phase, primarily operating within a large triangular consolidation range, with the trend not being particularly prominent over the past few years. Structurally, the price has attempted to break out of the range twice (once downward and once upward) but failed to sustain, quickly returning to the range. Until direction is confirmed, the market will remain primarily in a consolidation phase. The current triangular pattern is clearly converging, with the price's operating space continuously compressing, and the structure is approaching its conclusion. As this long-term consolidation gradually completes, 2026 may become a key window for Ethereum to make a directional choice and enter the next phase of movement.

Yi Lihua: Gradual Easing by the Federal Reserve Will Trigger a Short Squeeze, Companies Have Sufficient Funds to Leverage and Buy on Dips

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, posted on the X platform stating that the Federal Reserve is gradually easing and the intensity is increasing, a situation that has occurred for the second time since the pandemic. Following the massive easing during the 312 pandemic, a bull market emerged; this round of easing, under the condition of institutions locking up BTC and ETH, has changed the chip structure, and subsequent price increases will inevitably face a short squeeze. Regarding the actions of short-selling organizations attempting to influence public sentiment, he stated that this is a futile effort. Currently, the company has sufficient funds to repay leverage and buy on dips. The short-selling alliance has already collapsed, and early short positions have resulted in small losses, while later positions will face significant losses.
