Did Aave's Founder Try to Sway a DAO Vote?

The latest Aave vote did not just fail, it triggered a deeper trust check on who really holds the steering wheel. After uproar over a controversial proposal, some community members accused Aave Labs founder and CEO Stani Kulechov of buying roughly $15 million worth of AAVE to swing the result.

The Eight Moments That Rewired Crypto in 2025

2025 didn't just add headlines, it reworked the market. A Bybit theft pushed operational risk back into focus, tariffs made BTC trade like a macro asset, and the GENIUS Act dragged stablecoins into a federal framework. By late summer, dollar tokens sat at the center, the SEC sped up spot ETP listings, and peak-euphoria inflows set up October's liquidation cascade. December finished the shift with deeper integration and tougher rules.

If you want to understand the next cycle, you can't just skim 2025's headlines. You need to see how each shock rewrote the rules the market is now trading on.

Bitmain Slashes ASIC Prices as Mining Pain Spikes

Bitmain put a price tag on how rough this mining cycle has become. The world's largest ASIC manufacturer has slashed prices across multiple hardware generations, including S19 and S21 rigs that would have counted as "distressed sales" earlier in 2025 when Bitcoin was still climbing. Now the company is offering bundle deals and broad discounts into a market where post-halving revenue is shrinking and balance sheets are stretched. For miners, cheaper machines look tempting, but they also signal that the industry is under real margin stress.

If this is the kind of pricing Bitmain needs to move inventory, it raises a tougher question: how many operators can actually survive long enough to benefit from the next upcycle.

Can Institutional Tokenization Really Push Ether Toward $20K?

Ethereum's story is drifting away from "smart contract platform" and toward "financial backend." On CNBC's Power Lunch, Fundstrat co-founder and head of research Tom Lee laid out a case for Ether at 7,000 to 9,000 dollars by early 2026, with a longer-term path to 20,000, anchored around institutional tokenization. In his view, the more Wall Street moves securities, settlement and structured products onchain, the more ETH starts to look like core infrastructure rather than a trade.

That framing is attractive, but it also concentrates Ethereum's narrative around one big bet: that regulated tokenization actually scales and stays on ETH instead of fragmenting across competitors.

Is 2026 the Year Crypto ETFs Go Mainstream?

If analysts are right, 2026 is the year crypto ETFs stop being a niche and start looking like a full product shelf. With US regulatory clarity improving and rate cuts on the table, senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas is calling for at least 15 billion dollars in net flows into crypto funds next year, with a stretch scenario as high as 40 billion. More than 100 new ETF filings are expected to chase that demand, from vanilla BTC and ETH exposure to more complex strategies.
