Key Events of the Week
Last week was filled with significant events in the crypto sphere and the technology sector. Among the most notable were the approval of the UNIfication proposal, a massive hack of Trust Wallet, and a record deal by Nvidia.
Bitcoin and the Crypto Market
Bitcoin displayed high volatility last week. The price fluctuated between $86,600 and $90,000, with an unexpected spike occurring on December 26.
“The fundamental factors in the Bitcoin market for 2025 were ideal, and their potential has yet to be fully realized,” said Fong Le, CEO of Strategy.
Analysts differ in their forecasts regarding future dynamics. While CryptoQuant experts expect a drop to $70,000, BitMEX analysts predict a rise to $200,000 by early 2026.
Technological Innovations
Nvidia has made an unprecedented deal to acquire the assets of startup Groq for approximately $20 billion. This deal marks the largest in the company’s history and underscores the growing interest in artificial intelligence technologies.
Significant changes have also occurred in the regulation of cryptocurrencies. In particular, Ghana has passed a law legalizing cryptocurrencies, while South Korea is considering legalizing stablecoins to protect financial sovereignty.
Security and Incidents
Trust Wallet clients suffered losses due to a vulnerability in the browser extension. Total losses amounted to around $7 million. Changpeng Zhao stated that the company will cover these losses out of its own pocket.
According to CertiK, the total loss from cybersecurity incidents in 2025 reached $3.3 billion, highlighting the relevance of asset protection issues.
In summary, last week demonstrated a high pace of development in the crypto industry, technological solutions, and regulatory changes.
