Crypto exec Kain Warwick lost a $50,000 Ether price prediction bet, Coinbase reveals “everything exchange”: Hodler’s Digest An attacker has drained hundreds of crypto wallets on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains, siphoning small sums from each victim in what onchain investigator ZachXBT described as a broad but low-value exploit. The losses appear limited on a per-wallet basis, with each victim losing less than $2,000, according to ZachXBT. The activity has affected wallets on several EVM-compatible networks, indicating a widespread incident rather than it being isolated to a single blockchain. A fraudulent email disguised as legitimate communication from Web3 wallet MetaMask could have been the vehicle for the attack, said cybersecurity researcher Vladimir S., who cited a clue left by…

Bitcoin may dip to $65K in 2026, Clarity Act speculation grows: Hodler’s Digest, Dec. 14 – 20
Fidelity researcher mulls over Bitcoin dropping to $65,000 in 2026, US Clarity Act may not boost Bitcoin’s price: Hodler’s Digest Veteran trader Peter Brandt said the potential passage of the US Clarity Act is unlikely to have a significant impact on Bitcoins price after indications that it could pass Congress as soon as January. Is it a world-shaking macro development? Nope. Needed for sure, but not something that should redefine value, Brandt told Cointelegraph on Friday. Having an asset regulated, particularly an asset for which die-hard investors never wanted to be regulated, is not an earth-shattering event, he added. His comments came after White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks said on Thursday, We are closer than ever to passing the landmark crypto market structure legislation.
