Industry News
Odaily News - On Polymarket, the probability of President-elect Trump approving strategic Bitcoin reserves within the first 100 days of his term has fallen to 27%, down from the 60% high after his election. The betting volume on this event has exceeded $1.5 million.
Meanwhile, other prediction markets expect Trump will ultimately accept Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, joining oil and gold. For example, Kalshi predicts the probability of Bitcoin reserves occurring by January 2026 once reached 61%, a high since December 21, but has since fallen back to 57%.
In addition, Polymarket and Kalshi users expect it will take time for Texas to pass a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. Polymarket predicts a 10% chance of Texas passing the bill before March 2023, while Kalshi puts the probability at 24%.
Solana Co-Founder Stephen Akridge Sued by Ex-Wife for Allegedly Stealing SOL Staking Rewards
Odaily News - Solana co-founder Stephen Akridge has been sued by his ex-wife Elisa Rossi, who alleges he stole "millions of dollars" in SOL staking rewards. Stephen Akridge previously served as Solana's chief engineer and played a key role in developing the blockchain platform alongside co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal.
According to the lawsuit, Stephen Akridge "exploited his vast expertise in cryptocurrency and blockchain" to secretly access Elisa Rossi's staking rewards. While Elisa Rossi requested parts of the lawsuit be kept confidential due to the "substantial sums" involved, the value of the tokens in question was not disclosed. Elisa Rossi stated the accounts were "operated and controlled by Stephen Akridge" from early March to mid-May. (Bloomberg)
Project News
Odaily News - The latest and biggest speculation about an OpenSea token airdrop comes from a recent application for an "OpenSea Foundation" in the Cayman Islands. Crypto organizations often create a foundation as an independent entity for their more mature, consumer-facing brand, and historically these foundations have then become the vehicles for facilitating token airdrops. While registering a foundation does not guarantee a token will follow, other organizations that have recently airdropped tokens to users have done so through their own foundations.
An OpenSea spokesperson confirmed the foundation is a registered entity, but declined to comment further on any association with OpenSea. Previously, an X account using the name "OpenSea Foundation" posted about "ocean entering chat", potentially hinting at an OCEAN token. This connection became clearer as the account, created in May 2024, only follows one account - OpenSea, and both OpenSea and CEO Devin Finzer have interacted with the post. While details remain scarce, an OpenSea Foundation spokesperson responded: "More information will be announced soon." (Decrypt)

6 MV founder: Multicoin's performance report shows the fund has achieved 18.6x returns since 2022
Odaily News: Mike Dudas, founder of 6th Man Ventures and former founder of The Block, stated on X that he recently saw Multicoin's fund performance report, which has achieved 18.6x returns since the market bottom in 2022. When asked about how much of the return is realized profit/liquid and how much is still unrealized/in locked state, Dudas said this is a liquid fund, with only a small portion of the assets having poor liquidity, and he was also surprised when he saw the report.
Users also inquired about the fund's portfolio composition, and Dudas disclosed that SOL is the core holding, along with some other Solana ecosystem tokens and other tokens.
1confirmation founder: Always aimed at serving users to ensure long-term optimal returns
Odaily News: 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on X: "From the beginning, my goal has been to make 1confirmation user-centric, because I believe this is the way to generate the best long-term crypto returns.
This means we only invest early in products that we like from a user perspective and that have positive network effects in this space. We don't chase popular narratives or zero-sum mimicry. We've learned that the most impactful products are built by mission-driven founders before the narratives emerge.
We prefer to sell to institutions rather than retail - this is how we've generated the majority of our returns so far. We keep our capital relatively small in scale to stay focused on strategy.
There are many ways to make money. Our bet is on user-centricity, which is the biggest win over decades and helps push the crypto industry to the 1B+ user milestone faster. Let's see what happens."
Regulatory Policy
Odaily News: Joe Doll, general counsel of NFT marketplace Magic Eden, said in an interview that the recently appointed "AI and Crypto Czar" David Sacks only has 2 years before the 2026 US midterm elections to push policies supporting the crypto industry.
According to Doll, the threat of government gridlock could stifle regulation, and the current administration must push crypto-friendly policies while still controlling both houses of Congress. Doll said: "The House majority is razor-thin and is likely to flip, as it almost always does. So you may have a divided government, locking and freezing things for two years. So we have 24 months to drive some important things." (Cointelegraph)
Personalities & Voices
Tether CEO: Some competitors are "talking down" Tether on the X platform
Odaily News: Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted on the X platform that there are many voices on X "talking down" Tether and creating "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). If you look at the profiles of these people, it's easy to understand their tactics - this is a coordinated action driven by competitors, but it won't work and has never worked.
Odaily News: Dragonfly Capital partner Hasseb Qureshi said that Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani is the best investor in the crypto space. As competitors, Dragonfly and Multicoin are always at odds, but industry insiders recognize industry leaders, and investing is like a sport, and Kyle is the all-time highest scorer, unmatched by anyone.
Hasseb added: "This doesn't mean you have to like him, I often find him reckless, even hateful. I also often disagree with him... But Kyle is a true contrarian thinker. He bets where others are unwilling to... Ultimately, that's what investors are for - allocating capital to undervalued ideas, and Kyle is one of the few non-consensus investors in our industry."

5. Driving the development: VitaDAO restructured to reduce costs by 70%, IP portfolio grew 5000%."
Trader Eugene forecasts Q1 2025: ETH expected to benefit the most, with potential to hit new highs
Odaily News: Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio posted his Q1 2025 outlook and expectations on X:
"It feels like it's been a long time since Trump won the election 2 months ago, and now we're about to enter 2025, with prices already significantly higher than they were not long ago, and with the US leading the way in crafting crypto-friendly policies and regulations, the industry is full of hope for a new pro-crypto world.
Considering the local highs we experienced in December, I believe the bull market will continue in a similar fashion, with some assets performing exceptionally well, while others lag behind.
For next quarter, I believe ETH will benefit the most. The reasons are: 10 IQ price fractal; Trump's pro-crypto government; Base ecosystem development.
I expect ETH to break through $4,000 as early as January next year, and it may even reach a new all-time high at some point in the first quarter."
