Aster announced today that it will officially launch the RAVE/USD1 spot trading pair on December 12th at 12:00 UTC, and will introduce the highest trading bonus in the platform's history: 1.5x Symbol Boost. At the same time, WLFI (World Liberty Financial) will provide symbol rewards for RAVE/USD1 traders. As a next-generation decentralized exchange jointly supported by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) and CZ, Aster attracts global traders with its ultra-fast matching, institutional-grade security, innovative financial instruments (such as hidden orders and yield-generating collateral), and its "CEX trading experience + DeFi self-custody" design concept. This launch marks the debut of RAVE on DEX and provides the platform's only RAVE/USD1 trading pair. Aster will also launch Rocket Launch Round 4: RaveDAO Special Trading Incentive Competition (December 12, 12:00 UTC – December 26, 14:00 UTC), with a total reward pool of $200,000 equivalent in ASTER + additional $RAVE incentives, plus the platform's highest ever 1.5x points bonus. Users can participate in the reward distribution through valid RAVE/USD1 trading fees. As the world's fastest-growing Web3 entertainment and cultural ecosystem, RaveDAO has attracted over 100,000 offline participants in more than a dozen countries and cities, including Dubai, Amsterdam, Seoul, and Singapore, in the past year. It combines on-chain identity, ticketing verification, fan economy, and a global event network, becoming a typical example of "cultural entertainment × on-chain identity × Web3 technology". Back at Korea Blockchain Week, RaveDAO partnered with WLFI to host a grand party integrating EDM, K-Pop, and Web3 payments, attracting over 2,000 participants. This event was not only WLFI's first offline event but also the world's first offline application of USD1. Participants could use USD1 to purchase tickets, reserve seats, and pay for drinks, truly bringing crypto payments from the wallet interface into real-world scenarios. With RAVE soon to be traded on the open market, this tripartite collaboration with Aster and WLFI aims to open up deeper trading scenarios and a stablecoin ecosystem entry point, providing a model for the integration of Web3 entertainment and the stablecoin ecosystem.

Binance has announced the launch of a privacy-focused Intention Indication (IOI) feature, allowing institutional users to express interest in large spot or loan transactions without disclosing their market orders. This tool targets traders with single trades exceeding $200,000, aiming to help them execute large trades more efficiently through Binance's over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform. Intention Indications (IOIs) allow traders to privately express their intention to buy, sell, borrow, or lend large amounts of cryptocurrency without placing orders or disclosing their intentions on a public order book. Common in traditional financial markets, IOIs help institutions assess liquidity and negotiate terms without triggering the price volatility typically associated with large transactions. (The Block)

At the Solana Breakpoint conference, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated that the core of growth lies in continuously building products that people need. He emphasized that stablecoins are the current clear direction, and it is expected that between $1 trillion and $10 trillion worth of stablecoins will be on-chain in the future, driving the gradual tokenization and on-chaining of approximately $500 trillion in global assets. Anatoly stated that the strong property rights protection brought by public chains and cryptography does not conflict with free market capitalism and the logic of Wall Street, but rather complements it by eliminating faults and risks through software, thereby expanding the financial scale of Wall Street at a faster pace. He stressed that stablecoins are expanding rather than replacing the US dollar, and L1, especially PoS networks, have a clear value capture mechanism. Solana aims to capture the largest possible market share in this competition.

Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury BitMine, stated in his latest podcast, Altcoin Daily, that Ethereum's current price reflects not what happened today, but what will happen in the future. Therefore, don't expect it to rise every day; you have to bet on that "supercycle." Lee believes the biggest misconception is that even if you discount future EQM to $5,000 or even $3,000, Ethereum's final price ten years from now might still be $100,000. "Today's price difference is just a tiny fluctuation in the discount rate." But everyone wants instant gratification—press the buy button and make money the next day; if it doesn't rise, "this coin is a scam." They think they can press the button 1,000 times and win 1,005 times, but nobody can. Therefore, what most people really need to do is recognize the "tokenization" super narrative of the next 5-10 years; ten years from now, Ethereum will be a completely different, monster-sized chain. Today's prices are like looking at the finish line ten years in advance through a telescope—the target is 1,000 miles away, and you've only taken five steps; of course, it's still in the "future."
