Author: Frank, PANews As the narrative benefits of the crypto market gradually fade, funds are searching for the next definitive exit. Recently, prediction markets have emerged as a dark horse, not only because of their independent performance amid turbulent market conditions but also due to a series of high-return "smart money" strategies that have surfaced behind them, making them widely regarded as one of the most explosive tracks by 2026. However, for most onlookers, prediction markets still seem like a black box wrapped in a blockchain exterior. Although built on smart contracts, oracles, and stablecoins, their core mechanisms differ significantly from traditional "coin trading" logic. Here, it’s not about candlestick charts, but about probabilities; not about storytelling, but about facts. For newcomers, questions arise one after another: How does this market operate efficiently? What are the fundamental differences between it and traditional crypto gameplay? What exactly does the legendary "smart money" hold that is not publicly known?

PaiCoin hovers in the $0.20 range within the box zone amid whale buying trends… downward risk persists Although there has been a whale buying trend in recent weeks, PaiCoin remains sideways within the $0.20 box zone. As of December 27, PaiCoin's trading price is approximately $0.204 per coin (about 273 KRW), down about 30% from the monthly high of $0.2827 set earlier this month. Price support levels are at risk… technical analysis warns of further decline According to technical analysis, PaiCoin currently has a major support level at $0.2072. If this support is broken, the price could drop approximately 25% to $0.1530. This decline is analyzed as a potential result of a double top formation. Especially, if clear upward momentum or substantial ecosystem application cases do not emerge before the end of 2025, the price defense line may struggle to hold.

a16z in the latest episode of "Big Ideas for 2026" pointed out that the role of AI is undergoing a critical shift, evolving from a tool that passively responds to commands to a system that can understand context, take proactive actions, and directly complete tasks for users. This change is reflected across three levels, including how AI interfaces are designed, who products and content are made for, and how AI truly integrates into frontline labor and service scenarios. The first major change: AI no longer waits for human commands; command input gradually becomes secondary Saying goodbye to passive operation, AI begins to understand and act proactively At the start of the discussion, Marc Andrusko, partner of a16z's AI application investment team, stated that his most important observation for 2026 is the command input (Prompt

Panorama of Crypto Assets BTC (+1.86% | Current price 91,052.7 USDT) After forming a "deep V rebound" on the night of December 7 and early morning of December 8, BTC did not continue its strong momentum. Instead, it fluctuated back and forth within the $90,000–$91,700 range, resembling a "door" structure. This is a typical corrective consolidation, with the main funds likely testing the resistance capacity of the upper trapped zone at $91,500-$92,000, while facilitating rotation through repeated oscillations. On the moving averages, the MA 5 has crossed below the MA 10, resulting in a minor death cross in the short-term moving average system, indicating weak short-term rebound momentum. Overall, this is a consolidation phase under main control within a box pattern, and a directional breakout has not yet formed. If the price can break through $91,700 with high volume in the coming days and hold above $92,000, then

What exactly has the prediction market platform Polymarket been up to? What was its original idea? — Using money to see if your predictions are correct Dear readers, imagine a "casino" like this: here, you don't bet on sports scores or guess card hands, but instead, people use real money to predict "how the world will operate." "Will Elon Musk complete the payment features on X platform by the end of October?" "Will the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by more than 75 basis points this year?" "Can the opening-week box office of a popular movie surpass $500 million?" This special "casino" is our main subject today—Polymarket. But don't rush; labeling it as a "casino" might be too simplistic, even somewhat unfair. Essentially, Polymarket is a decentralized information prediction market built on blockchain.

Author: Omer Goldberg Compiled by: Shenchao TechFlow Summary Hours after the multi-chain platform @Balancer encountered a vulnerability attack that triggered widespread uncertainty in the DeFi space, @berachain urgently executed a hard fork, and @SonicLabs froze the attacker’s wallet.

The crypto market has experienced a whirlwind of flash crashes and blame over the past few days, from market makers losing billions of dollars to the collapse of user confidence on Binance, all of which have exposed the dark reality of financial black boxes and the deterioration of market structure. When exchanges and market makers choose to cover up the truth or brush it off casually, the trust mechanism of the entire market is also heading towards disintegration. Who will take over after the crypto market crash? Passive market makers become the victims. Crypto KOL @octopusycc pointed out that the recent flash crash has caused varying degrees of losses for most passive market makers (Passive MM), including well-known institutions like DWF Labs, Wintermute, GSR, and Flow Traders. Although the losses are still within a controllable range, it also exposes the structural fragility of the crypto market: "When active market makers sell off assets during volatility, passive market makers can only be forced to take over."

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang stated in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that this new policy could make the "American Dream" seem out of reach and may block opportunities for technical talent immigration. Huang recently sent a memo to employees about the H-1B visa, reminding them that the new policy is in effect. This interview marked his first public discussion about being an immigrant himself, highlighting that immigration is the cornerstone of America. Huang expressed concern that the rising threshold of the American Dream could hinder business development.
