Bitcoin briefly broke through the $90,000 mark again in the evening, and Ethereum rose above $3,000. At this time, Brother Majie closed the long order for Bitcoin and the long order for HYPE. (Previous context: Fidelity analyst: Bitcoin will be in a "fallow year" in 2026, support range of $65,000 to $75,000) (Background information: Market share dropped from 80% to 20%, what happened to Hyperliquid?) Bitcoin surged again this evening (21st), briefly breaking the $90,000 mark around six o'clock, currently reported at $88,793 before press time. Ethereum also rose simultaneously, breaking through $3,000, reaching a high of $3,017. Despite BTC prices once again nearing the 90,000 mark, the year-end liquidity exhaustion and profit-taking pressure from the U.S. market raises questions about whether Bitcoin can stabilize and break through, with both long and short orders.

According to statistics, 84.7% of the 118 TGEs in 2025 fell below the issue price, with a median drop of 71%. Funds are flowing towards Bitcoin and Ether. Is the new investment strategy failing? (Previous summary: Aster, Lighter... strong enemies besiege, Hyperliquid's siege battle) (Background Supplement: Market share dropped from 80% to 20%, what happened to Hyperliquid?) The year 2025 is about to come to an end, and the primary market for cryptocurrencies has been surprisingly cold during this time. According to Memento Research's statistics on December 20, out of 118 token generation events (TGE) this year, 84.7% of new coins opened below the issue price, with only 15% maintaining an upward trend. For airdrop hunters who have long relied on "new launches" for profit, this year has probably been quite difficult.

Tom Lee is optimistic about Ethereum, believing it will become the core settlement layer of future finance, driving up the value of Ether. He pointed out that institutional adoption is still in its early stages, and Ethereum has more practical utility than Bitcoin. He predicts that 2026 will be a big year for Ethereum and provides multiple price forecasts, emphasizing that investors should make their own decisions.

The Ethereum Foundation announced that it will fully implement 128-bit security standards by 2026, with a focus on security to attract institutional funds. The plan is divided into three milestones, including the integration of security assessment tools, achieving 100-bit and ultimately 128-bit security. While strengthening security is expected to impact scalability speed, it will be key to attracting high-value applications in the long run.

From Tom Lee's multiple interviews, we can roughly see his long-term bullish outlook on Ethereum's core logic: 1. Ethereum is the future financial infrastructure's core settlement layer. Ether not only serves as digital currency but also as the foundational infrastructure for building and operating DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs, on-chain markets, RWA, and more. Especially in the RWA sector, this will be the biggest narrative in the future. Wall Street is bringing trillions of assets (bonds/stocks, etc.) onto Ethereum. As the dominant settlement layer, this will generate substantial demand and drive up the value of Ether. Tokenization is not short-term speculation but a structural shift that will propel Ether into a bull market independent of Bitcoin. 2. Institutional adoption and ecosystem maturity. Currently, approximately 4 million Bitcoin wallets worldwide hold assets exceeding $10,000, and similar amounts are held in stock/retirement accounts globally.

The amount of Ethereum held on centralized exchanges has dropped to its lowest since 2016, indicating a "bullish" trend. This decrease reduces short-term selling pressure, with more ETH being moved to long-term storage options, reflecting increased investor confidence in Ethereum's long-term prospects.

Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the Ethereum blockchain must simplify its features to enhance user understanding and achieve true trustlessness. Current complexity leads to reliance on a small group of experts, contradicting the principle of trustlessness. Efforts are underway to make Ethereum more user-friendly, including educational programs and potential software upgrades.

Ethereum has surpassed Bitcoin in network adoption, boasting 167 million wallets compared to Bitcoin's 57 million.
