Zama Mainnet Goes Live, Completes First Ethereum Private Stablecoin cUSDT Transfer
On December 31, privacy computing project Zama Protocol officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet, completing the first transfer of cUSDT—an FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption)-based privacy stablecoin.
This marks the first confidential ERC-20 transfer on Ethereum’s Layer 1, with each transaction costing approximately $0.13.
The solution enables on-chain private transfers for any token via “asset wrapping,” allowing transaction amounts and wallet balances to remain confidential on the blockchain. This milestone advances FHE from theory to real-world production and may lay the groundwork for the privacy narrative in 2026.

Bloomberg: Despite an 80% Drawdown, Korean Investors Still Buck the Trend and Bet on BitMine
Bloomberg — As of Dec 31, U.S.-listed BitMine, a major Ethereum holder, remains one of the most favored overseas stocks among South Korean investors this year despite an over 80% drop from its July peak.
In 2025, BitMine ranks second in popularity among overseas stocks held by South Korean investors, trailing only Alphabet. Backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, the firm is led by Tom Lee, a renowned Wall Street strategist. The market’s bet on its “Ethereum accumulation thesis” remains unshaken.
As of Dec 29, South Korean retail investors have poured $1.4 billion into BitMine in 2025. They’ve also allocated $566 million to T-Rex’s 2x leveraged BitMine ETF, which has plunged ~86% from its September high.
