Blockchain data visualization platform Bubblemaps published an article pointing out issues with the fair issuance of the Meme coin project PEPE. Monitoring showed that approximately 30% of the genesis PEPE supply was tied to a single entity, which sold $2 million worth of tokens the day after issuance. The analysis suggests that tokens with most of their supply concentrated in a few wallets can help investors detect scams such as "runaway" schemes, where insiders remove liquidity or conduct large-scale sell-offs, causing a price crash and leaving investors with worthless tokens.

According to the announcement from Binance, Binance Futures is set to close all positions and conduct an automatic settlement on the USDⓈ-M AIAUSDT Perpetual Contract at 2025-12-11 12:15 (UTC). Following the settlement, the contract will be delisted. Users are advised to close any open positions before the delisting time to avoid automatic settlement. Starting from 2025-12-11 11:45 (UTC), users will not be able to open new positions for the specified contract. During the final hour leading up to the scheduled settlement time, the Futures Insurance Fund will not be utilized to support the liquidation process for the futures contract. Any liquidation triggered during this period will be executed as a single Immediate or Cancel order (IOCO), which will be offloaded into the market in one attempt. If the IOCO execution leaves sufficient assets in the user's account to meet the required Maintenance Margin, the liquidation will cease. However, if the IOCO fails to fully reduce the position to satisfy Margin Maintenance requirements, any unfilled portion will be resolved through the Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) process. Users are strongly advised to monitor and manage open positions during this final hour due to potential heightened volatility and reduced liquidity. To protect users and mitigate risks in extremely volatile market conditions, Binance Futures may implement additional protective measures for the contract without further notice. These measures could include adjusting maximum leverage, position value, and maintenance margin in each margin tier, updating funding rates, changing price index constituents, and using the Last Price Protected mechanism to update the Mark Price. Users should remain vigilant and informed about these potential changes.

Bitcoin prices fell back to $90,000 after the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut and gave cautious guidance. The Fed hinted at only one rate cut in 2026 and announced it would purchase $40 billion in Treasury bills next month to maintain ample reserves. Analysts said Powell's comments injected "new uncertainty," leading to weak market confidence and diminishing the positive demand for ETFs. Coin Bureau co-founder Nic Puckrin stated that while the rate cut wasn't as hawkish as some had expected, the numerous dissenting voices and the Fed's decision to only cut rates once next year injected new uncertainty into risk assets, thus insufficient to trigger a Christmas rally in Bitcoin.
