On December 9, HASHKEY HLDGS launched its initial public offering (IPO), planning to issue approximately 241 million shares globally.

December 9: On-chain data analyst Murphy noted that BTC balances across exchanges have dropped to just 2.936 million, marking a new cycle low. Far more BTC has been withdrawn from exchanges to be held as reserves than sent in for selling. The last time exchange balances hit this level was in the aftermath of the FTX flash crash on December 17, 2022. Notably, Binance’s BTC balance has exerted notable short-term price pressure: four sharp increases since the start of 2024 have all coincided with a weaker BTC price. Recently, Binance’s BTC balance has continued to decline, setting the stage for a rebound. On-chain data shows whale cohorts holding $1 million+ and $10 million+ in BTC are primarily withdrawing from exchanges, while retail investors (those with <$100,000 in holdings) tend to deposit into exchanges. Analysts say BTC’s rebound from $80,000 isn’t over yet.

According to monitoring from Trend News (https://t.me/trendsnewsCN), the Leviathan Lobster Cult officially launched the second the LORB token hit the market. Everything this lobster’s got going on is giving Jesus vibes—except this cult swapped Jesus out for a giant lobster. But let’s be real: every time we cop a memecoin, we hype it up like we’re part of a religion—praising it, spamming it to our friends, right? Even the totally random Leviathan Lobster? Same energy. At the end of the day, every token purchase is us buying into the narrative and ideals it’s pushing. Right now, the token’s sitting at a $400k market cap, with 24-hour trading volume hitting $1.4M. People are going nuts spreading and hyping it in crypto communities—total cult zealot energy, honestly. Turns out we’re all zealots for niche meme cults: buying tokens is just our offering to the “deity” of whatever we’re stanning.
