🪙 $XRP holders can now earn yield without selling their tokens
XRP holders now have a way to earn yield without selling their tokens or navigating complex DeFi strategies, with data-focused blockchain Flare's earnXRP, an fully on-chain yield product denominated in XRP.
The new vault allows users to deposit FXRP, a one-to-one representation of XRP on Flare, and earn returns that are compounded back into XRP, according to a press release. Instead of juggling multiple protocols, users make a single deposit and receive earnXRP, a receipt token that tracks their share of the vault and its accumula

📊 Vitalik Buterin Names How Ethereum Avoids DoS Risk
Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin has explained how the blockchain prevents denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Buterin’s explanation comes as a response to a question from a user who expressed frustration with the contract size limit on Ethereum.
🔸 Network stability depends on data efficiency
According to Buterin, the limit on Ethereum exists as a safeguard to prevent DoS attacks. Notably, very large contracts are expensive to store in nodes, transmit or process. Thus, if there is no limit, a malicious attacker could easily deploy huge

❄ The "Santa Claus Rally" could start tomorrow
We're talking about the seasonal growth of markets during the Christmas period and the beginning of the new year. This usually includes the last 5 trading days of December and the first 5 days of January.
What the statistics for 25 years say:
• Positive returns were observed 19 times
• Negative returns were only 6 times
During this period, trading activity decreases, funds close the year, and any additional demand pressure more easily pushes prices up.
Let's assume that Santa is gathering strength for a takeoff)

📉 $AAVE falls 18% over week as dispute pulls down token deeper than major crypto tokens
DeFi lending and borrowing protocol Aave’s governance fight is starting to cost investors wildly.
The AAVE token is down about 18% over the past seven days, making it the worst performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, even as bitcoin, ether and other large tokens trade flat to slightly higher.
The selloff stands out in a market that has otherwise stabilized, suggesting the pressure is specific to Aave rather than a broader risk-off move.
The drop follows a growing fight inside Aave governance over who

⚡️ Crypto funds shed $952M but $XRP and Solana buck the outflow trend
Crypto investment products shed $952 million last week as delays to the market structure bill and concerns over whale selling triggered a risk-off shift among investors, according to CoinShares.
The pullback snapped a four-week inflow streak, largely driven by heavy outflows from Ethereum and Bitcoin funds. About $555 million exited Ethereum products, while Bitcoin funds saw $460 million in outflows.
In contrast, XRP and Solana investment products continued to draw in fresh capital. Investors added approximately $63 million

🔥 Bitcoin ($BTC ) Pulls a Surprise Move! None of Their 2025 Price Predictions Came True!

While major institutions made aggressive predictions for the Bitcoin price in 2025, particularly targeting $200,000-$250,000, the price fell short of these expectations.

🪙 844,000,000 Million $XRP in 24 Hours: Enormous Surge Brings Hope
In a single day, about 844 million XRP were transferred between accounts. Such a large volume of payments does not occur in a vacuum, particularly not when the price is close to local lows.

🔴 Macroeconomic analysts believe that Bitcoin will "fall below $70,000" due to Japan's strict policies.
According to data published by AndrewBTC, every increase in the Bank of Japan's interest rate since 2024 has coincided with a drop in Bitcoin's price by more than 20%.
In his post on X-Stop on Saturday, the analyst highlighted a drop in BTC's exchange rate of about 23% in March 2024, 26% in July 2024, and 31% in January 2025.
It is expected that the Bank of Japan will raise its base interest rate on Friday, which is historically a negative signal for riskier assets such as Bitcoin.
