A few days ago, a grant proposal from Curve was rejected for the development team(Swiss Stake AG) 17M $CRV Both Convex and Yearn voted against the development funding, and this vote ratio was enough to affect the final result.
Since the Aave governance problem began to ferment, the governance has begun to be paid attention to by the market, and the inertia of giving money has also begun to be broken. There are two key points behind Curve's proposal:

The total whale holdings on the Hyperliquid platform amount to $5.387 billion, with longs accounting for 48.25% and shorts for 51.75%.

null Foreword
Economic cycles? Just like that cigarette in your hand, burning out is inevitable, but the next puff carries new energy. Prosperity - depression? Just the black humor of this broken world repeating itself.
So, this year we didn't worship any "gods" of Wall Street, nor did we believe in the "nonsense" of the Federal Reserve. We dive straight into metaphysics. From the fortune-telling methods to Zi Wei Dou Shu, we throw these algorithms into the singularity of the Bitcoin genesis block to see how the cycles really sway!
We try to use the ancient codes of the Five Elements prosperity and decline, and the Nine Palaces flying stars to decode the "fate" of digital assets and hot industries in the market. To forecast which sectors hide big dividends next year and where big traps lie. This book, "2026 Cryptocurrency Feng Shui Guide," is not some chicken soup to make you rich overnight. It’s a rusty dragon-seeking ruler to help you navigate good fortune and avoid misfortune during this cycle.
Come on, industry insiders

In November 2024, prediction markets anticipated the election results before anyone else. When polls showed a close race and experts were hesitant to make predictions, the market assigned a 60% probability of Trump winning.

This demonstrates that markets can aggregate dispersed information into accurate beliefs, with risk-sharing mechanisms playing a role. Since the 1940s, economists have dreamed that speculative markets could surpass expert predictions, and today that dream has been validated on the grandest stage.
But let’s take a closer look at the economic principles behind this.

On December 17, Aave founder and CEO Stani.eth posted on social media that after four years, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has completed its investigation into the Aave protocol.
This was originally an inspiring milestone. However, after Web2 ended its entanglement with the SEC, Web3 found itself in a "fire in the backyard." Over the past two weeks, Aave's community governance disputes have been a hot topic in the English-speaking crypto community. Amid this controversy, a series of events have unfolded, including whale sell-offs, founder "supporting the market," governance and trust issues, and more.
Let's take a look at the background of this incident.
