🎄🎯🎁 Christmas at Gate this year for me is much more than just a festive season. It is a moment of internal reflection, when together with the platform I reach the final stretch of the year with a sense of maturity, gratitude, and conscious progress forward. This journey has been filled with experiences, observations, and the gradual development of my own approach to the market.
Throughout the year, Gate constantly surprised me with a variety of ideas, contests, quizzes, marathons, and different formats of incentives. At the same time, I clearly understand that I still have much to learn. The platform is rich in creativity and constantly offers something new, inspiring, motivating me not to stop and to discover more.
My trading journey during this time has become much more balanced. I have learned not to chase the market, not to react emotionally, but to build a disciplined, calm, and well-thought-out strategy. Observations, patience, and analysis have become more important to me than quick decisions, and this has given me a sense of internal stability.
A special discovery for me has been the AI tools on the Gate platform. I didn’t even know they were here before, and now I am gradually learning how to use them. I especially enjoy decorating my posts with Christmas images created with AI, as it adds warmth and individuality to each publication.
By learning to work with details, I have personally realized how important formulation is even in creating images. Initially, not knowing the capabilities of the tool, I only wrote one or two short sentences. Later, I learned that for generating images on the Gate platform, AI can use up to 500 characters, and this allows for much deeper, more thoughtful, and unique results. This experience once again showed me that quality always begins with a clear vision and careful attention to detail.
An important stage for me was the “Final Year-End Report of Gate for 2025” contest. It gave me the opportunity to pause, look back at the path traveled, realize my own development, and form an understanding of what I want to carry into the new year.
A special atmosphere of Christmas is created by falling Christmas trees and stars that appear when you publish a post on Gate Square or comment on live broadcasts on Gate Live. In these moments, everything looks like from a fairy tale, and even the serious market becomes warmer, livelier, and closer.
Sometimes I stop and feel how something special flows inside.
— Anya, is this love for Gate?
— Yes… it’s in my heart, right at its center.
— That’s so sincere.
— It’s more than words. It’s a feeling that warms and inspires, like a real Christmas.
That’s how Christmas lives inside Gate — quietly, deeply, and forever.
As I finish this year together with Gate, I calmly and consciously prepare for 2026. With new goals, deeper knowledge, and a mature attitude towards the market. From the bottom of my heart, I wish Gate further development, prosperity, and the strength of innovation, and to the entire crypto family — clarity in strategies, patience, confidence, and a bright future. May the new year bring stable growth, clarity in decisions, and new opportunities for each of us.
I go to sleep with Gate in my thoughts and wake up with it — it has become an integral part of my daily journey, discipline, and desire for growth, inspiring and supporting me every step of the way. Merry Christmas!

The atmosphere of Christmas always arrives quietly - without fanfare, but slowly seeps into every corner.
Recently in the Gate community, I noticed some small changes: the posting interface has added festive elements, lively expressions have appeared in the comments, and occasionally, a "Christmas rain" drifts through the chats and live streams, instantly illuminating the limited edition of this warm season.
These small designs make the community richer, more diverse, and full of joy. Of course, nothing has changed; some people are discussing the market, some are reviewing trades, and some may leave a blessing casually. But the important thing is: we will bring more lifestyle and a sense of ritual to daily life, adding a little bit of our own "small happiness" to each day.
It's a warm winter, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas in advance 🎄

Latest US economic and labor market data are sending a cautiously optimistic signal regarding risk assets. Multiple indicators show that, through 2026, US household income growth may continue to slow, which could directly impact retail investors' ability to allocate funds to high-volatility assets such as cryptocurrencies. In the short term, this appears more like a "demand-side cooling" rather than a systemic crisis.
From the perspective of labor market performance, non-farm employment growth remains moderate, but the unemployment rate is rising, and wage growth is slowing down in tandem. Wages and employment stability are the core sources of household disposable income, which is precisely the key fuel for retail participation in the crypto market. When income growth stalls and employment uncertainty increases, households tend to prioritize cutting non-essential expenses, and speculative investments naturally become the first to be scaled back.

NFT Gaming & Metaverse Tokens The New Frontier of Crypto Momentum (Dec 2025)
As the crypto landscape evolves beyond traditional finance, NFT‑driven gaming and metaverse tokens are emerging as one of the most dynamic segments in 2025. With record NFT activity, booming play‑to‑earn economies, and rising metaverse engagement, these projects illustrate how blockchain + gaming ecosystems are reshaping crypto adoption, trader sentiment, and token innovation.
NFTs, once seen as speculative collectibles, are now becoming core economic drivers within virtual worlds, gameplay ecosystems, and tokenized experiences. According to on‑chain data, NFT transactions hit over 18 million sales this year, highlighting a strong rebound in user activity and gaming engagement.
Sector Snapshot Key Projects & Developments:
1. NFT Worlds WRLD Token (Explosive Growth)
One of the breakout narrative stories is NFT Worlds, where the native WRLD token surged over +213% in just 7 days, fueled by innovation such as gasless in‑game transactions, rapid game‑feature rollout, and community play tests that attract significant user participation. WRLD’s trading volume exceeded $5.5 M in the past week, indicating strong capital flow into emerging metaverse ecosystems.
NFT Worlds leads a growing trend of playable, gasless, scalable experiences a major step forward for user accessibility and low‑friction adoption, especially for casual and mainstream audiences.
2. The Sandbox & SAND Metaverse Momentum
The Sandbox continues gaining traction as one of the most popular metaverse gaming ecosystems with a vibrant creator economy and sustained user engagement. As part of recent bullish trends, SAND experienced a weekly price uptick near +40%, underpinned by community growth and strategic partnerships.
With over 1 M followers on social platforms and expanding NFT and land sales, The Sandbox exemplifies how metaverse tokens are moving beyond speculative interest into real utility and virtual commerce.
3. Gala (GALA) Community‑Driven Play‑To‑Earn Growth:
Gala (GALA) remains one of the most recognizable gaming‑focused tokens in the space, benefiting from a loyal global community and ecosystem updates. Recently, GALA surged almost +50% in weekly performance, driven by strong on‑chain metrics, balanced distribution, and steady community participation.
This movement underscores how engaged communities and active development pipelines can help gaming tokens maintain relevance even amid overall market turbulence.
📊 Why NFT Gaming & Metaverse Tokens Matter Now
📈 1️⃣ Real Utility Beyond Hype:
Unlike short‑lived meme pumps, gaming and metaverse tokens unlock tangible digital experiences, allowing users to earn while playing, trade NFTs, build virtual assets, and participate in thriving economies. This utility‑centric focus attracts long‑term engagement rather than fleeting speculation.
💡 2️⃣ NFT Market Rebound Signals Growing Participation:
Data shows that NFT sales volume has hit multi‑year highs, driven by deeper engagement among wallet holders who are increasingly active in transactions and gaming ecosystems even as average wallet count lags sales growth. This suggests higher per‑user engagement, a strong fundamental indicator for future adoption.
🎮 3️⃣ Play‑To‑Earn & GameFi Economic Incentives:
Play‑to‑earn mechanics and GameFi reward models are fueling sustained interest. Projects like NFT Worlds, The Sandbox, and Gala offer economic upside for active users through token earnings, quests, land ownership, and in‑game rewards aligning play with earning potential.
🌍 4️⃣ Community & Social Growth:
Massive social followings, high engagement, and creator‑driven ecosystems give these tokens robust communities that can influence sentiment, liquidity, and strategic development. This social layer is crucial in long‑term narrative building.
📌 Risks & Considerations:
While NFT gaming and metaverse tokens show strong momentum, they remain capital‑intensive and volatile. Traders should remain disciplined, manage risk effectively, and combine on‑chain signals, user adoption metrics, and ecosystem news to refine entry/exit strategies. Patterns can shift quickly when sentiment changes or new updates emerge.
Final Perspective:
The 2025 surge in gaming and metaverse tokens from WRLD’s breakout rallies to SAND and GALA’s community‑led momentum signals a transition from speculative nominal gains to real utility‑driven engagement. As NFTs and blockchain gaming continue to mature, these developments are not just trends they are shaping the next generation of Web3 economies where play, ownership, and finance converge.
For early adopters, strategic observers, and active traders alike, understanding these movements today means positioning at the forefront of tomorrow’s crypto innovation wave.

Why does Bitcoin often drop exactly at 18:00 Moscow time?
Bitcoin drops almost every day at the same time — right when the American market opens, when activity and trading volume suddenly increase.
These declines resemble the work of large high-frequency traders who profit by pushing the price down and then buying back cheaper.
Jane Street is often mentioned in discussions due to its large positions in Bitcoin ETFs and resources that enable such operations, although there is no direct proof of its involvement.
In recent weeks, many have noticed a strange pattern: Bitcoin often begins to fall when the US market opens — around 10:00 AM New York time (approximately 18:00 Moscow time). Sometimes it appears especially sharply: hours of growth disappear in just 15–20 minutes.
This also happened in one of the recent trading sessions: Bitcoin lost 16 hours of gains in just a few minutes after US trading started. BeInCrypto’s editorial team investigated what’s behind the morning “fainting spells” of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin drops almost every day at the same time — right when the American market opens, when activity and trading volume suddenly increase.
These declines resemble the work of large high-frequency traders who profit by pushing the price down and then buying back cheaper.
Jane Street is often mentioned in discussions due to its large positions in Bitcoin ETFs and resources that enable such operations, although there is no direct proof of its involvement.
Why does Bitcoin fall at the same time?
When the US market opens, a large flow of trades enters the market — participants begin actively buying and selling assets. Liquidity sharply increases, and the price becomes more sensitive to large transactions. At such moments, big traders can execute significant volume trades almost without delay.
If a major participant dumps a large amount of Bitcoin onto the market, the price instantly drops. Then, when activity decreases, the market gradually recovers part of the decline.
What’s the connection to Jane Street?
In the crypto community, it is believed that synchronized morning drops resemble the work of high-frequency trading firms. These firms use algorithms capable of executing a huge number of trades per second, earning on small price fluctuations.
One of the most discussed companies — Jane Street. In terms of scale, it is one of the largest global traders. The algorithms used by the firm operate at high speed and with significant volumes. Thanks to these capabilities, large participants can temporarily influence the price of an asset, especially during surges of trades in the first minutes of trading.
There is no direct proof of Jane Street’s involvement in Bitcoin declines. However, the company is regularly mentioned because, according to open data, it holds about $2.5 billion in Bitcoin ETF BlackRock IBIT. This position indicates that the firm has resources to carry out large operations.
How to profit from this
To understand the mechanism, it’s enough to imagine a possible algorithm:
At 10 AM New York time — during peak activity — a large volume of Bitcoin is sold.
The price sharply drops because the market cannot process such volume in time.
After the decline, the same participant can buy Bitcoin cheaper.
Profit is made from the difference between the selling price and the subsequent purchase.
The cycle repeats daily.
This approach allows earning from short-term sharp movements and does not aim to depress the market long-term.

🌙 Midnight Community This Is Your Moment!
A powerful new opportunity has opened on Gate Square, giving NIGHT supporters, researchers, and creators a stage to share insight and earn rewards. Whether you’re breaking down market trends, exploring Midnight’s technology, or sharing hands-on experience, every high-quality contribution now carries real value.
Project Insight: Why Midnight Is Different:
Midnight represents a true evolution of Web3’s original promise privacy with purpose. Unlike traditional blockchains that force users to choose between transparency and confidentiality, Midnight delivers both. Its architecture allows data to be verified without exposure, enabling compliant privacy for real-world use. NIGHT sits at the center of this ecosystem, powering private smart contracts that institutions and developers can confidently adopt. The dual-token structure (NIGHT + DUST) further strengthens sustainability by allowing users to operate the network without consuming their core holdings. This is not hype it’s long-term infrastructure.
NIGHT Market Outlook:
As Bitcoin stabilizes at key support levels and Ethereum continues its recovery trend, market liquidity is gradually rotating toward fundamentally strong altcoins. NIGHT is entering this phase at an ideal time. Early volatility is settling, price discovery is becoming healthier, and investor focus is shifting toward projects with real utility. Midnight’s privacy-first framework and regenerative token model position NIGHT as a standout candidate for sustained growth as adoption expands and confidence builds across the market.
Research:
A deep look into Midnight’s tokenomics and network design reveals a system built for scalability and endurance. DUST generation introduces an organic yield mechanism that rewards holders without inflationary pressure. Midnight’s privacy layer is practical, not theoretical enabling confidential transactions while remaining regulation-friendly. Combined with Gate Square’s creator initiatives and community programs, the project is gaining structured momentum rather than speculative attention.
User Experience Review:
Interacting with the Midnight ecosystem feels refined and intuitive. Transactions remain private yet verifiable, a balance rarely achieved in Web3. Gate Square integration enhances engagement through Candy Drops, creator challenges, and interactive campaigns, making participation both rewarding and accessible. Whether you’re trading, learning, or contributing content, the experience feels thoughtfully designed for all user levels.

Why NIGHT’s Future Looks Strong:
NIGHT is more than a market-cycle token it’s becoming a foundational layer for rational privacy in Web3. With its dual-token economy, enterprise-ready smart contracts, and expanding ecosystem, Midnight is positioned for long-term relevance. As developer adoption increases and real-world use cases grow, demand for NIGHT naturally strengthens. Early contributors gain exposure not just to rewards, but to a network shaping the future of compliant, private blockchain infrastructure.
If you’re searching for a project built on utility, innovation, and longevity, NIGHT stands out. This journey is just beginning and the strongest growth often belongs to those who recognize value early.
Final Perspective:
Looking ahead, NIGHT represents more than short-term participation rewards or early-stage market interest it reflects a broader shift toward responsible, privacy-first blockchain infrastructure. As regulations tighten and users demand both transparency and confidentiality, Midnight’s rational-privacy model places NIGHT in a uniquely strategic position. With continuous ecosystem development, deeper community engagement through Gate Square, and expanding real-world use cases, NIGHT has the potential to mature into a foundational asset of next-generation Web3. For participants who value long-term vision over hype, this phase is about positioning early, contributing meaningfully, and growing alongside a network designed for durability, trust, and real utility.

Tonight at 21:30, the global markets will face the "Judgment Day"! Last night, Powell announced a rate cut and balance sheet expansion, but the market surged then fell back, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both plunging. This indicates that optimistic sentiment has been overextended, and positive news has turned into negative. Powell also stated that the Federal Reserve will return to a data-dependent approach. The US initial jobless claims for the week ending December 7 are the first key data point, dubbed the market’s “Judgment Day”. The current employment market is the key factor, and initial jobless claims are the “thermometer” measuring its health. The expected figure of 220,000 is a critical psychological threshold. If the reported number is less than 220,000, the labor market remains resilient, raising the bar for Fed rate cuts, potentially triggering a selling wave and putting pressure on risk assets; if the figure exceeds 220,000, it confirms a cooling employment market, and risk assets may rally. However, a bigger cloud— the possible rate hike by the Bank of Japan—is approaching, tightening global liquidity. In the "data dependency" guessing game, any data below expectations could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Tonight, don’t focus on just one number; it will set the tone for at least a month of trading. Buckle up, as this will be a battlefield of bulls and bears. A rebound could be the last chance for shorts to add positions or longs to escape their tops! $SOL $BNB $XRP
