Also, at the time of writing, the daily crypto trading volume is $263 billion – lower than we’ve seen over the past few weeks.
Most of the top 100 coins per market cap turned red yet again. At the time of the writing, all top 10 coins are down.
Cardano (ADA), which saw the biggest increase on December 13, saw the biggest decrease today: 4.9% to $1.09.
At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC) still stands above $100K. It’s trading at $100,095, following a 0.4% drop.

Yei Finance, a DeFi protocol on the Sei network, announced the successful close of its $2 million seed funding round, led by Manifold, with participation from DWF Labs, Kronos Research, Outlier Ventures, Side Door Ventures, WOO, Matt Dobel, and 0xZHUANG.
Per the press release shared with Cryptonews, the investment will be used to develop V2, a step in building an omnichain money market that addresses inefficiencies in the current DeFi ecosystem.
Yei Finance will use the funds to present a new, user-friendly design, flexible modular lending, and omnichain money market. Therefore, the V2 introduces features to enhance user experience, scalability, and capital efficiency across blockchains.
Yei Finance is introducing isolated lending pools designed for specific assets, risk profiles, and strategies to support cross-chain borrowing and lending. At the same time, yield-bearing tokens like yUSDC will enhance capital efficiency.
Yei Finance is also creating a unified liquidity pool that simplifies borrowing and lending across blockchains.

Bitcoin has hit all-time highs, but the hashprice has remained below its pre-halving levels, according to the latest Miner Weekly report by BlocksBridge Consulting.
Last week, BTC surpassed the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone. At the same time, the network’s hashprice rebounded to $60/PH/s, offering miners a much-needed breather.
However, per the report, citing TheMinerMag research, even in the bull run we expect to see next year, the hashprice may still not surpass its pre-halving levels.
It explained that revenue peaks (dollars per megawatt-hour) for dominant miners in each halving epoch have steadily declined.
This has been happening nearly in proportion to improvements in power efficiency. The revenue peak of the S19 Pro in 2021, for example, was one-third of the S9’s revenue peak in 2017.
This was “mirroring that the S19 Pro is three times more power-efficient than the S9. Quite a coincidence,” the report noted.
Meanwhile, “revenue troughs across mining hardware generations have shown much greater alignment.”
The trend can help estimate the revenue peak and trough for the S21 Pro during the 2024 halving epoch (2024–2028).
