On December 30th, members of the Lighter team announced on Discord that the platform had begun airdropping LIT tokens to users. This airdrop does not require user claiming; the tokens will be directly displayed on the platform's asset page. Previous news: Lighter launches LIT token: the ecosystem and team each own 50%, and product revenue will be used for growth and buybacks.

According to Odaily, Garrett Jin, representative of '1011 Insider Whale,' shared insights on the X platform regarding current market dynamics. Jin noted that the anticipated short squeeze in precious metals has concluded, leading to a flow of capital into the cryptocurrency market. He had previously predicted that the rise in silver, palladium, and platinum was a temporary squeeze and unsustainable. Jin suggested that a reversal in prices could potentially drag down gold prices, prompting a shift of market funds from precious metals to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Furthermore, Jin highlighted the strong correlation between Ethereum (ETH) and the Nasdaq 10 Index, indicating that the Nasdaq 100 Index has now recovered from declines triggered by negative news. This recovery suggests that ETH might be poised for a rebound.

Garrett Jin, an agent for "1011 Insider Whale," posted on the X platform that current market dynamics are as expected: the short squeeze on precious metals has ended, and funds are beginning to flow into the cryptocurrency market. He previously predicted that the rise in silver, palladium, and platinum was only a short-term squeeze and unsustainable. Once prices begin to reverse, they are likely to drag down gold prices as well. Market funds will shift from precious metals to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The correlation between ETH and the Nasdaq 100 index remains high. He also stated that the Nasdaq 100 index has now recovered the losses caused by those "negative news," suggesting that ETH may have bottomed out and rebounded.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated in an article on the X platform that the Federal Reserve is gradually increasing its quantitative easing, a situation only seen twice since the pandemic. The massive quantitative easing following the March 12th pandemic triggered a bull market. With institutions locking up BTC and ETH in this round of easing, the asset allocation structure has changed, and further upward movement will inevitably face a short squeeze. He stated that the attempts by short sellers to organize online attacks and influence public sentiment are futile. The company currently has sufficient funds to repay leverage and buy on dips. The short-selling alliance has collapsed; short sellers who close their positions early will suffer small losses, while those who close later will face large losses.

Catizen has outlined ambitious plans to integrate artificial intelligence into its platform, complementing its broader strategy to expand the Mini App Center, grow its user and payment base, and extend its geographic reach.

Telegram's top crypto games, Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) and Catizen (CATI), have seen their tokens drop over 50% from peak values, echoing declines in other gaming tokens like Notcoin (NOT) and Toncoin (TON). The question now is whether they can recover or face a continued decline and possible collapse.
