According to U.Today, Chainlink (LINK) has achieved a significant milestone in its price metrics, reaching $29 for the first time in over three years. This development has sparked enthusiasm within the Chainlink community, with expectations of further gains. The price surge is attributed to the actions of LINK whales, who have acquired a substantial amount of tokens that were offloaded by retail investors. In the past two months, Chainlink whales, holding over 100,000 LINK tokens, have purchased 5.69 million LINK. Conversely, retail investors have sold 5.67 million LINK from their collective wallets, possibly due to impatience, panic-selling, or profit-taking before a potential price drop. Currently, LINK has slightly decreased from the $29 mark and is trading at $27.92. The market volume has increased by 52.86%, reaching $2.7 billion. Earlier trading saw LINK's price fluctuate between $28 and $29 before stabilizing at its current level. Santiment, a market analytics platform, suggests that the whale activity has supported the price movement, indicating increased confidence in the token. Despite the positive signals, Santiment emphasizes that Chainlink's long-term success is closely linked to Bitcoin's performance. Bitcoin's positive performance and stability often influence the price trajectory of altcoins like LINK. Bitcoin has recently regained its $100,000 price level and is currently trading at $100,424.56. If the market remains favorable and Bitcoin continues its growth, LINK could reach new levels in this cycle. However, other factors, such as Chainlink's partnerships with SWIFT and UBS Asset Management, have previously influenced LINK's price and could play a role in its future performance.

According to Foresight News, LayerZero has announced a vote on whether to activate protocol fees, scheduled to begin on December 20 at 8:00 UTC+8 and conclude on December 27 at 8:00 UTC+8. This vote will determine if LayerZero will start charging a protocol fee for each message, with the collected fees being used to repurchase and burn ZRO, thereby reducing its circulation. The proposal suggests a fee structure where messages between Arbitrum and Optimism would incur a cost of $0.01 in DVN/executor fees. An additional protocol fee of $0.01 would be charged, bringing the total cost to $0.02. The $0.01 protocol fee would be collected in a funding contract that automatically repurchases and destroys ZRO. For the referendum to be valid, at least 60% of the circulating supply, equivalent to 65,968,349.4 ZRO or more, must participate in the vote.

According to CoinDesk, a community cohort within the Polygon DAO is evaluating a proposal to leverage over $1 billion in idle stablecoin reserves currently held on the Polygon PoS Chain bridge. This initiative aims to capture yields, as outlined in a pre-proposal governance post. The PoS Bridge holds approximately $1.3 billion in stablecoins, making it one of the largest on-chain holders of such assets. However, these reserves remain idle, resulting in an opportunity cost of around $70 million annually, based on the current benchmark lending rate for the three major stablecoins. The authors of the proposal suggest that the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has matured sufficiently to allow assets held in the Polygon PoS bridge to be used productively and securely. This could incentivize additional activity on the Polygon PoS network. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are entities governed by rules encoded as computer programs, controlled by token holders, and operate without central authority influence. The proposed plan involves utilizing Morpho Labs' vaults to manage USDC and USDT, aiming for a conservative 7% annual return through strategies involving high-quality collaterals such as USTB, sUSDS, and stUSD. This approach could potentially generate an additional $70 million annually from these idle assets. The yield generated would be reinvested into the Polygon ecosystem, fostering growth across the network and its ecosystem. Should the proposal pass an initial community check, it will seek to generate yield by gradually deploying DAI, USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT) from reserves into decentralized finance protocols. Each asset deployment will require a separate proposal to be presented and approved by the community in the future. Meanwhile, Polygon's native token, POL, has experienced a 5% decline in the past 24 hours, reflecting a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market.

According to PANews, World Liberty Financial's governance page has announced that the WLFI community has approved its first proposal to deploy a lending instance on the Ethereum mainnet based on Aave v3. This new instance will support lending and borrowing of ETH, WBTC, USDC, and USDT, managed through Aave's risk management system. The WLFI protocol aims to provide a seamless experience for users new to decentralized finance (DeFi), promoting the adoption of over-collateralized lending and enhancing Aave's leadership in the digital asset lending market. As part of this initiative, AaveDAO will receive 20% of the protocol fee income from this instance, along with 7% of $WLFI tokens, which will be used for governance participation and liquidity incentives.

According to CoinDesk, MicroStrategy, the software company founded by Michael Saylor, is not the only major corporate entity accumulating bitcoin. A recent report by JPMorgan highlights that crypto miners are also adopting this strategy in response to increasing profitability pressures. These pressures are largely attributed to the upcoming reward halving in April and a rising network hashrate, which indicates heightened competition and mining difficulty within the industry. JPMorgan analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, suggest that these challenges have prompted miners to either hoard bitcoin or seek further investments in the cryptocurrency. Some are even diversifying into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing businesses. Notably, MARA Holdings has adopted a bitcoin-buying strategy similar to MicroStrategy's, known as BTC yield, to navigate these challenges. MARA now holds 35,000 tokens, valued at approximately $3.5 billion, making it the second-largest publicly listed corporation in terms of bitcoin holdings. The trend is not limited to miners. Semler Scientific, a medical-device manufacturer, has also been actively purchasing bitcoin, amassing $144 million worth of the cryptocurrency. The introduction of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. earlier this year has provided institutional investors with a more direct avenue for bitcoin exposure. This development has led to the underperformance of miner shares, which were previously considered a proxy for bitcoin. JPMorgan's report also notes that miners are increasingly turning to debt and equity offerings to finance their operations, rather than selling their crypto reserves. This year, miners have raised over $10 billion in equity, surpassing the previous record of $9.5 billion set in 2021. This shift in strategy underscores the evolving landscape of bitcoin investment and the growing interest from both corporate and institutional players in the cryptocurrency market.

According to Finbold, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) recently made headlines in the cryptocurrency world as its shareholders decisively voted against a proposed corporate investment in Bitcoin (BTC), a move advocated by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor. This decision, announced on December 10, had minimal immediate impact on Microsoft's stock price. However, it did cause a brief dip in Bitcoin's value, which quickly recovered. The rejection was not entirely unexpected, given Microsoft founder Bill Gates' long-standing skepticism towards Bitcoin. Gates, a prominent critic of the cryptocurrency, had previously expressed a desire to short Bitcoin back in May 2018, when the cryptocurrency was valued at $9,373. Fast forward to December 13, 2024, Bitcoin's price has surged to $100,273, marking a significant 969.8% increase. This dramatic rise highlights the potential missed opportunity for those who heeded Gates' bearish stance. An investor who chose to go long on Bitcoin with a $1,000 investment at the time of Gates' comment would now see their investment grow to $10,698.07, realizing a profit of $9,068. Looking ahead, the cryptocurrency community and various on-chain analysts are optimistic about Bitcoin's future performance. The sentiment suggests that Bitcoin is in the early stages of a bull cycle, with the recent milestone of surpassing $100,000 seen as just the beginning. Predictions for 2025 are even more bullish, with a common price target of $250,000 emerging among notable investors and analysts. Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' and a well-known Bitcoin advocate, is among those forecasting such a rise. More surprisingly, Tom Lee from Fundstrat has echoed this ambitious prediction. If Bitcoin reaches this target, those who invested $1,000 in 2018, contrary to Gates' advice, could see their investment grow to $26,672.36 by next year. This potential growth underscores the ongoing debate about Bitcoin's value and the differing perspectives on its future trajectory.

قال JPMorgan في تقرير إن MicroStrategy ليست الشركة الكبيرة الوحيدة المشترية لبيتكوين، وقد بدأت شركات تعدين العملات المشفرة أيضًا في اعتماد استراتيجيات الاكتناز. ويرجع هذا التحول إلى الضغط المتزايد على الربحية، والذي ينبع في المقام الأول من انخفاض مكافأة تعدين بيتكوين إلى النصف في أبريل وارتفاع معدلات تجزئة الشبكة. قال المحللون: "قد يدفع هذا القائمين بالتعدين إلى تخزين بيتكوين أو البحث عن مزيد من الاستثمار في بيتكوين، أو اللجوء إلى أعمال الذكاء الاصطناعي/الحوسبة عالية الأداء (AI/HPC)، وقد اتخذت شركات التعدين مثل MARA Holdings بالفعل تدابير للتعامل مع هذه التحديات استراتيجية شراء البيتكوين مثل استراتيجية MicroStrategy” (CoinDesk).
