The security team Scam Sniffer has issued a security alert, reminding users to be alert to fraudulent activities conducted through counterfeit websites. Recently, a user was directed to a fake @ pudgypenguins website through a news portal in Singapore. After investigation, it was found that this was part of a large-scale malicious advertising campaign. The specific process of the attack is: malicious ads are placed through the Google advertising network, and the ads load suspicious code from Adloox, which detects whether the user has a Web3 wallet. If a wallet is detected, the user will be redirected to the counterfeit website pudtypenguin [.] com. At present, the main target is users of @ pudgypenguins, but this method can be easily applied to other projects. It suggests that users should take the following measures: enable ad blockers, access cryptocurrency related websites using a dedicated browser, verify URLs three times before connecting to wallets, and install the ScamSniffer plugin.

Jon Ma, founder of Artemis, an institutional data platform for cryptocurrencies, shared his experience of entering the cryptocurrency industry from traditional finance on social media. He mentioned that when he first came into contact with Bitcoin in 2015, he did not take it seriously until 2017 when he paid attention to and purchased Bitcoin and other encrypted assets again. He stated that through communication with Erik Voorhees from Shapeshift, he began to realize the possibility of separating currency from government. In the following years, he missed out on the DeFi craze and the rise of NFTs, but returned to the crypto field in 2021, investing in Solana and its NFTs, and attempting to participate in DeFi projects. He also supported Filipino scholars with his girlfriend through Axie Infinity, believing that participants in traditional finance will drive the growth of cryptocurrency assets from $3.5 trillion to over $100 trillion in the future. Asset management companies such as Fidelity and BlackRock are actively launching digital asset ETFs and related products, while the world's largest fintech companies, Stripe and Visa, may also benefit from encrypted payment networks.

BlockBeats news, on December 25th, Matrixport released daily charts stating that Ethereum, like Bitcoin, often loses momentum when prices rise sharply, especially when prices rise more than 60% within 30 days. From historical data, this is usually a profitable opportunity. At present, the price has rebounded to the same level as a month ago, which may mean that an opportunity to re-enter the market is brewing, especially if the cryptocurrency bull market is expected to continue until 2025. It is worth noting that Ethereum did not exhibit the higher beta characteristics seen in the previous bull market during this rebound. However, it remains an asset favored by investors. The recent continuous inflow of ETF funds is the best proof. This strong demand not only highlights the important position of Ethereum, but also indicates that it is still highly regarded even if its performance in this cycle is slightly lower than expected.
