The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission recently added four new suspicious virtual asset trading platforms, all operating without licenses. Platforms such as HKTWeb3 and Hong Kong Stablecoin Exchange have falsely advertised their relationships with licensed institutions. Users are reminded to verify the legitimacy of trading platforms when choosing one, stay vigilant, and avoid scams.

Damn, they even dare to impersonate the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, truly fearless.
---
Another wave of scam platforms, new tricks every day, hard to guard against.
---
The Hong Kong stablecoin exchange directly fabricates the backgrounds of the three major exchanges—how clueless can they be?
---
HKTWeb3's fake cooperation is blatant, these unlicensed platforms are getting more and more outrageous.
---
Every time I see this kind of news, I get scared. Luckily, I haven't been scammed before.
---
Four companies exposed at once, indicating regulatory efforts, but you still need to keep your eyes open.

Impersonating the Hong Kong Stock Exchange? Really daring, are they trying to get inside to squat?
【Blockchain Rhythm】The popularity of the prediction market has really skyrocketed over the past two years. According to on-chain data, the open interest on Polymarket has been climbing all year, recently surpassing $326 million, nearly 1.7 times the $120 million at the beginning of the year. From a market structure perspective, sports, politics, and crypto are the hottest sectors, accounting for 46.6%, 21.12%, and 12.4% respectively. Especially the political sector; during the US election last year, the open interest in politics alone reached $385 million, setting a platform record of $410 million. Interestingly, at the end of each month, a large number of contracts expire and settle, with about one-third of the positions typically being closed. This cyclical fluctuation actually reflects an increasing market activity. Bitwise's recent 2026 crypto market forecast mentioned that next year, the open interest on Polymarket will

Is the political market so fierce? Probably because of the upcoming election game. I'll just play the sports market honestly.
It's a game for fools with lots of money, but I can't resist making profits... 1.7x return. How crazy do you have to be to chase after this level?
Selling one-third of the position every month. These cyclical fluctuations are basically just a rhythm of cutting leeks.
The prediction market suddenly became popular... Will Polymarket end up like those previous platforms, ultimately ending in failure?
The settlement at the end of the month looks a bit uncertain. Betting right for overnight wealth, betting wrong for overnight liquidation.

Back to building infrastructure? Is Phantom aiming for full domain monopoly?
A certain exchange announced that it will launch SCOR spot trading at 7:00 PM on December 17th, and will offer limited-time zero fees to attract investors to participate in this emerging asset at low cost. The exchange holds regulatory licenses in the US and Australia, and operates stably and securely.
Wow, over 84 million USD withdrawn at once. This guy is really rich... Is he trying to dump the market or genuinely worried about something happening to Binance?
【Block Rhythm】The large trader on Hyperliquid known for short positions has recently taken new action. This trader's ZEC short position, after turning from a loss to a profit, has begun to reduce their holdings actively. Data from December 17 shows that their ZEC short position shrank from $16.5 million to $9.1 million, with an average entry price of $389. Interestingly, they did not close all positions but instead used part of the funds to short MON. Currently, this MON short position is about $9.2 million, with unrealized gains reaching $4.62 million—an ROI of 150%. You should know how persistent this trader is. They started shorting ZEC as early as October 10, at an average price of $184. Since then, they kept adding to their position to average down, trying to turn the tide. But by October 17, the position was at its worst, with unrealized losses hitting $21 million, and the short position even surged to $43.2 million. So
This guy is really playing with heartbeat, losing 21 million but still holding on. Now he's turning around and making a huge profit on MON, he's quite a tough person.
I don't quite understand that ZEC trade, how did it turn around? Is it due to fundamental changes or just pure luck?
A 150% return on MON is a bit outrageous. Can this token's liquidity support such large positions being closed?
Shorting is really a test of patience after ten years of sharpening the sword, but you need to have a strong mindset.
Did he switch to MON because he sensed some opportunity? It feels like this guy has something up his sleeve.
【Crypto World】Coingecko recently shared an interesting data set on X — the global ranking of countries most interested in Meme coins. The top three are the United States, India, and Nigeria, followed by Germany, Turkey, Vietnam, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Brazil, and Indonesia. Among them, the United States is particularly interesting. Due to adjustments in regulatory attitudes, local users' traffic accessing Meme coin-related content has actually increased by 30%. It seems policy changes can also give a boost to popularity. However, overall, Meme coins haven't been having a good time lately. Since the beginning of this year, interest in Meme coins in the crypto market has plummeted by 81%. DOGE remains the leader in this field, with nearly 47.3% market share, while other coins can only look up in envy. Remember that wave of hype at the end of last year? The enthusiasm for AI concept coins and the US presidential election fueled coins like GOAT and FARTCOIN.
【Blockchain Rythym】Japan's political circles have revealed the latest developments in the reform of the cryptocurrency tax system. According to sources, the government is pushing to adjust virtual currency trading profits from the current "miscellaneous income" system to an independent self-assessment system, expected to be implemented starting January 2028. Why the delay until 2028? The official explanation is to first confirm the actual market operation after the revision of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and then implement the new tax system. It sounds reasonable, but investors are a bit tired of waiting. What is the current situation? Trading gains from cryptocurrencies are classified as "miscellaneous income," combined with wages, bonuses, and other income, with a top tax rate of up to 55%. In contrast, stock trading is taxed separately at only 20%, making the difference quite significant. Industry insiders and investor groups have been calling for years, hoping that cryptocurrencies can enjoy the same 20% tax rate as stocks. This would both reduce the burden on investors and attract more capital.

2028? Fellow astronauts, this launch window is way too far away. It feels like the ground command is using delay tactics again.
---
A 55% tax rate is really outrageous. Isn't this essentially burning profits in disguise? It was about time to lay the tracks for crypto.
---
Waiting four years to drop to 20%. Will my holdings still be alive by then...
---
What sounds good is market confirmation, but it's actually bureaucratic style. This speed can be surpassed even by a snail.
---
Their stock next door is up 20%, while ours is 55%. This obvious disparity shows they don't even consider us human.
---
Japan's move is slow, but at least it's moving forward. Compared to some countries that just ban outright, it's better.
---
2028, by then my moon dream might have already come true or been completely burned.

If it really happens, will Japan become a new crypto highland again? Those who get in early will make a fortune.
The latest US employment data underperformed, indicating a weakening labor market, but consumer spending remains robust. The Federal Reserve faces pressure to reconsider interest rate cuts, with the likelihood of a cut in 2026 increasing. Although hawkish members may take over, pushing for rate cuts remains challenging, but ongoing cooling of the labor market could prompt policy easing.

The labor market is so weak that interest rate cuts are just a matter of time, and hawkish policies can't change the overall trend.
【Chain News】Matrixport has transferred 1000 BTC to Binance in the past two days, equivalent to $86.9 million. This transfer was captured by Onchain Lens. Large institutional entries or cash-outs always attract market attention, so keep a close eye on these on-chain data.

ngl this is basically futureswap's recipe getting burnt mid-simmering... flash loans cooking up governance manipulation in one block? that's some half-baked protocol design right there. the whole "no collateral needed" ingredient was always gonna be exploited eventually tbh. anyone still marinating their tokens there should honestly pull them out asap, this flavor's turned rancid.
The Hyper Foundation proposes to confirm through validator voting that the HYPE tokens in the aid fund have been burned and permanently removed. The tokens are stored in a system address without a private key, making withdrawal impossible. The voting aims to build social consensus, ensure that future protocol upgrades do not attempt to access this address, clarify the current status, and set boundaries for protocol governance.
The crypto market generally rebounded yesterday, with BTC rising 2.01% to break through $87,000, while ETH slightly increased by 0.12%. The SocialFi sector led the gains with a 3.53% increase, and MANTRA surged by as much as 12.90%. The AI and NFT sectors experienced a pullback, declining by 1.37% and 1.68%, respectively.
The article points out that the profit model of Layer 1 public chains is changing, and investors are no longer willing to pay for infrastructure. Major public chains are facing profit pressure. Most of the stablecoin revenue is captured by the issuers, and public chains need to find ways to internalize economic benefits to change the current situation.
