Key Events in the Crypto Sphere

Last month, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant fluctuations. Bitcoin closed November down nearly 18%, falling below the $81,000 mark. At the same time, at the beginning of December, the asset attempted to recover, rising above $93,000, but later fell back below $90,000.

Technological Innovations and Development

The Ethereum team launched the important Fusaka upgrade on the mainnet, which significantly increases data throughput for rollups—by up to eight times. Meanwhile, other crypto projects are also showing activity.

In particular, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao announced the creation of the prediction market Predict.fun on the BNB Chain blockchain. The service allows users to make predictions on various events and earn profits.

“Predict.fun enables users to make predictions on events while simultaneously earning profits,” noted CZ.

At the same time, the company Strategy formed a reserve of $1.44 billion to ensure dividend payments, which may indicate expectations of prolonged market consolidation.

Interesting developments are also taking place in the world of artificial intelligence. In particular, Kyivstar and the Ministry of Digital Transformation have chosen Google Gemma as the foundation for creating a national large language model, which will be adapted to the Ukrainian language space.

Regulatory processes are also continuing to evolve. U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to appoint a new head of the Federal Reserve at the beginning of 2026, which could impact financial markets.
