BITCOIN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY “GREEN” — MINING IS DRIVING CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCING EMISSIONS
🔸 According to ESG expert Daniel Batten, more than 56% of Bitcoin mining now uses clean energy, up sharply from around 34% in 2021. 🔸 This shows that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly “green.” Beyond consuming clean electricity, Bitcoin mining is also helping to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. 🔸 Mining operations can purchase power directly from wind and solar projects before they are fully connected to the grid, allowing investors to recover capital faster and incentivizing the expansion of green energy capacity. 🔸 In addition, waste heat from Bitcoin mining can be reused to heat homes, greenhouses, and residential areas, replacing fossil fuels. Some projects even use Bitcoin mining to capture and utilize flared methane gas, thereby reducing harmful emissions.
PS: Elon Musk previously stated that Tesla would resume accepting Bitcoin payments if more than 50% of Bitcoin mining used clean energy. While in reality very few people use Bitcoin to buy cars—due to tax complications and because many view Bitcoin as a long-term appreciating asset—such a move would carry significant symbolic meaning if it were to happen. #BTC $BTC
UPDATE: Ethereum’s staking landscape just flipped — the withdrawal queue has dropped to zero for the first time since July 2025, while the staking entry queue surged past 1.46M ETH (~$4.6B), marking its highest level since November 2025. $ETH #ETH
📊 Institutional ETF Capital Flows for #Bitcoin and #Ethereum in 2025
🟢 According to CryptoRank, despite mixed market conditions this year, $BTC and $ETH ETFs have generally followed the same capital flow cycle. 🟢 Institutions deployed capital aggressively when the macro environment was clear and risk appetite was high, helping drive price appreciation and channel funds into sectors such as payments and RWA. 🟢 However, as macro conditions became more uncertain, buying pressure gradually weakened and capital flows shifted from inflows to outflows. This shows that institutional crypto exposure remains largely risk-on, closely tied to global financial conditions, rather than a stable long-term allocation. 🟢 Looking ahead to 2026, if macro conditions stabilize, the Fed begins a rate-cutting cycle, and regulatory frameworks become clearer, capital flows into major crypto assets are likely to become more stable and less driven by sensational news. #Market_Update
$ETH Ethereum is entering a unique phase. The Layer 1 network recently recorded over 2.2 million transactions in a single day, an all-time high, while the average transaction fee was around $0.17 — dramatically lower than in 2022, when fees at times exceeded $200 per transaction.
This shift is largely driven by 2025 network upgrades, which significantly increased throughput while reducing costs. As a result, users are beginning to return to the Ethereum mainnet, instead of relying as heavily on Layer 2 solutions.
Not only users, but developers are also coming back. The number of newly deployed smart contracts has reached record highs, signaling that Ethereum is increasingly being chosen as the core infrastructure for payments and on-chain applications. #ETH
The market is experiencing low liquidity in the final trading week of 2025, but positive signals are starting to emerge 🔥
Bitcoin is trading around the $85k–$90k range, reflecting market indecision.
Positive macro signals are appearing as inflation continues to ease, and buying activity around the $85k level is turning this zone into a key support.
In the first week of 2026, two important macro events to watch are Non-Farm Payrolls and the December FOMC meeting minutes.
From a medium-term perspective, signals are turning positive — but what about the short term? $BTC $ETH #market
🟢 According to CryptoRank, in 2021 DeFi TVL was spread across DEXs, CDPs, and yield farming, reflecting high on-chain activity and frequent user interactions. 🟢 By 2025, TVL has become heavily concentrated in lending, staking, and restaking, where capital can remain idle while still generating yield with minimal user activity. 🟢 Major protocols such as $AAVE, $LDO, and restaking platforms now control a large share of total market TVL. 🟢 This suggests TVL growth is driven less by new users and more by capital recycling and optimization. 🟢 Lending inflates TVL because the same capital can be reused multiple times. 🟢 Restaking extracts additional yield from already-staked assets without requiring fresh capital inflows.
✨ Conclusion: DeFi TVL today says more about how capital is utilized than about how many users DeFi actually has.
🔹 SharpLink is currently earning an average of 500 $ETH per week from staking on Ethereum. 🟢 By the end of 2025, SharpLink remains the second-largest corporate holder of ETH globally, behind only Bitmine. 🟢 As of now, the company holds a total of 859,853 ETH, worth approximately $2.6 billion, with an average cost basis of around $3,600 per ETH. #ETH
