Bill Morgan defends Ripple and XRP against scam allegations, emphasizing their regulatory compliance and transparency. He argues that true scams avoid scrutiny, unlike Ripple, which actively seeks licenses globally. Despite some community support, retail investors express frustration over stagnant XRP prices.

To everyone's surprise, at the beginning of the new year, the spark for the crypto market was not Bitcoin or Ethereum, but Meme coins. After a period of calm holidays and sluggish market activity, Meme coins are making a strong comeback.

In a high-stakes moment for decentralized perpetuals, Hyperliquid faced a technical exposé on December 20, 2025, via a blog post titled "Reverse Engineering Hyperliquid" on blog.can.ac. The article accused the platform of nine serious issues, from "insolvency" to a "God mode backdoor," labeling it a "centralized exchange masquerading as a blockchain."

A technical article published on blog.can.ac disassembled the Hyperliquid binary file through reverse engineering, accusing it of having a $362 million funding gap and other 9 serious issues, bluntly stating that it is a Centralized Exchange disguised as Blockchain. In the face of FUD, Hyperliquid personally stepped in to reconcile accounts, not only successfully clarifying the funding security issue but also rarely pumping its competitors Lighter and Aster.

With a firm stance from Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market is attempting to find a bottom after breaking below key support levels. Strategy CEO Phong Le stated clearly in an interview with CNBC that the company plans to hold its 650,000 Bitcoins (worth approximately $58 billion) until 2065, unless it encounters an extreme liquidity crisis lasting several decades. To dispel doubts about its financial health, Strategy recently raised $1.44 billion in just eight and a half days, establishing a reserve fund sufficient to cover 21 months of dividends. Although the price of Bitcoin has fallen below the $90,000 mark and technical analysis shows it is still within an 18-month-long “cup and handle” base pattern, the market’s expectation for a short-term rebound to $100,000 stands at only 28.8%.

On December 4, XRP pulled back more than 4.5% after failing to break through the $2.20 resistance, closing at $2.097 and falling below the key 50-day and 200-day moving averages. However, there are positive signals from the fundamentals: the US spot XRP ETF has seen net inflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with the cumulative total approaching $900 million. Market analysis platform Santiment pointed out that current FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) sentiment around XRP has reached its highest level since October, similar to the situation after November 21, when a 22% rebound followed. Although the short-term technical outlook is weak, strong ETF demand and the potential “decoupling from Bitcoin” narrative are laying a bullish foundation for XRP in the mid to long term.

According to Mars Finance news, in response to Arthur Hayes' doubts about the operation of USDT, former head of crypto research at Citibank, Joseph, stated on the X platform that @CryptoHayes' analysis missed several key points: 1. Disclosure of assets ≠ total corporate assets USDT discloses reserves according to the "matching principle", but its undisclosed balance sheet includes equity investment income, mining business, corporate reserves, and potential Bitcoin holdings, with remaining profits distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. 2. Ultra-high profit margins and equity value Tether holds $120 billion in US Treasury bonds (annualized 4% yield), with an annual net profit of about $10 billion starting from 2023 (with only 150 employees), making it the world's most efficient money printer; equity valuation could reach $50-100 billion (close to...

S&P Global has downgraded the rating of USDT to the lowest level, raising questions about Tether in the market.

Bitcoin predictions are turning bullish amidst rising FUD and market anxiety, with projections of prices between $70K and $200K. Despite caution in the wider market, optimism persists, highlighting a divide between bullish forecasts and cautious investor sentiment.

Despite bearish market expectations and growing fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), analysts predict Bitcoin (BTC) prices could surge to between $150,000 and $200,000 in the coming months, while some see a potential bottom forming soon.

Author: Deep Tide TechFlow 1. Overall Performance 1. Market Sentiment Last week, the overall market sentiment experienced a process from panic to recovery. The phase of liquidity tightening caused by the U.S. government shutdown on November 3-4, the aftershock of the November 11 crash, and FUD triggered by several DAT companies announcing token sales drove the market to continue declining. BTC dropped to a low of $98,950, a decline of 11% over two days; ETH fell to a low of $3,057, a decline of 22% over two days. Afterwards, the market oscillated at low levels, and on November 9, stimulated by news of the U.S. government reopening, it exited the bottom oscillation zone, and sentiment began to recover. The chart below shows the Coinglass Fear & Greed Index. Last week, the market sentiment was in the fear zone for all 7 days; on November 8, it reached the weekly low of 21, and has now recovered to 30, indicating a warming of market sentiment.

Mt. Gox announced that the long-overdue deadline for compensating its creditors has been postponed again for another year, until October 31, 2026. This means that approximately 34,689 Bitcoins (worth over $4 billion at current prices) will remain locked, effectively alleviating recent market dumping pressure. As a result of this news, the Bitcoin price surged nearly 4% in the past 24 hours, reaching a trading price of $115,559, and the market generally interprets this delay as removing a potential source of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).

The world's richest man and X platform leader Elon Musk has once again made astonishing statements about Bitcoin, declaring that he has completely changed his view on the cryptocurrency. Musk publicly stated this week that the value of Bitcoin is based on energy, which is in stark contrast to his stance in 2021 when he criticized its energy consumption as "crazy" and suspended Tesla's Bitcoin payments. He sees Bitcoin as a hard asset that allows escape from "devalued transactions" and said, "You can issue fake fiat, but you can't counterfeit energy." This shift marks Musk's full acceptance of the core defense of Bitcoin supporters that "Proof of Work (PoW) is its characteristic," and it heralds the end of the cryptocurrency community's "energy FUD" era.

Retail traders panic sold Bitcoin during global tensions, but strategic investors seized the opportunity, leading to significant price rebounds. Emotional trading often misguides short-term decisions, while calm strategies yield better results.

In the volatile crypto markets of October 2025—still navigating the aftermath of the $19.1 billion liquidation crash triggered by U.S.-China trade tensions—Solana (SOL) is defying widespread FUD, rebounding sharply above $190 to $208.92, marking a 5.9% 24-hour gain that positions it as the top performer among the top 40 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

On-chain analysis platform Santiment's data shows that during the big dump triggered by U.S. President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese goods last week, "smart traders" took advantage of retail investors' excessive reaction to FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), significantly buying Bitcoin and alts. Santiment analyst Brian Q pointed out that retail sentiment often runs counter to price movement. This event is one of the four "panic peaks" since 2025 triggered by political and macroeconomic events, each creating a good opportunity for savvy buy the dip investors. Although Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently remains in the "fear" range.

The highly anticipated Aptos ecosystem project KGeN Protocol's native Token KGEN Crypto made its debut on various exchanges, including mainstream CEX, on October 7, 2025, but experienced a disappointing start. The KGEN price fell by 67% within hours of launch, triggering market fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD). Despite KGeN Protocol boasting 38.9 million registered users, $60.8 million in annual revenue, and $13.5 million in funding from top institutions like Jump Crypto, its strong fundamentals starkly contrast with the chaotic token issuance. Technical issues, presale redemption latency, and Airdrop sell pressure were the direct causes of this price collapse, casting a shadow over this project hailed as a "quasi-unicorn" in the fields of AI, Decentralized Finance, and identification.

CZ criticized several well-known media outlets for spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) while receiving funding from the same backer, fabricating information to attack Binance and himself. (Background: Binance's CZ reflects on the one-year anniversary of his release from prison, stating "the encryption world is too exciting": US regulatory shift, BNB, BTC, and ETH repeatedly hitting new highs.) (Additional context: CZ confirmed Aster's association with former Binance employees, YZi Labs holds shares, and the Perptual Futures DEX sector is heating up.) October has just begun, and Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) has been posting repeatedly on social media, directly pointing out the Financial Times and Reuters, questioning whether the two media outlets received funding from the same sponsor to attack him and Binance, and mockingly referring to them as the "tin foil hat club" for spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). In this post, "tin foil hat" is a mocking term, implying "conspiracy theorists," as there are conspiracy theorists in American culture who fear being monitored by electromagnetic waves.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the chain, and recently there has been fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) targeted at the Base chain, which even prompted V God to come out and help clear things up for Base. Currently, it seems that there are no KOLs in the CT Chinese community discussing this matter. This tweet aims to briefly outline the "Base being FUDed" incident. The focus of FUD is: due to Base operating a centralized sequencer, it is essentially an unlicensed centralized securities exchange. The CLO of Coinbase and the overall head of Base have both given strong rebuttals: The core function of the sorter is to sort transactions rather than match transactions, which is achieved by smart contracts in a decentralized manner. Therefore, the Base running a centralized sorter is not a centralized exchange in the traditional sense. "Base is not a casino, but that doesn't mean Base is decentralized." Let me share my thoughts.

Jessy, Golden Finance Recently, Shaw, the founder of AI16Z, launched FUD against an AI Agent project called Swarms on the X platform. He stated on the X platform that the founder of Swarms is a fraud and cannot write code. Affected by this news, the project token SWARMS of Swarms has fallen by more than 20% in 24 hours, but it still maintains an increase of over 400% in the past 7 days, with a current market capitalization of nearly 300 million dollars. In addition to the public confrontation of the founder of AI16Z causing quite a stir in public opinion, the ongoing controversy between Swarms and AI16Z on Twitter during this period has sparked widespread discussion about their differences in technical architecture and applications. Currently, the AI Agent track is a blue ocean, but the competition is also very intense, especially among the leading Virtuals.
