Binance recently launched an ESPORTS trading competition with a total prize pool of $200,000. The leaderboard only tracks users' cumulative buy volume; sell transactions are not counted, thus encouraging participants to hold ESPORTS during the event period. While the trading competition is underway, Yooldo is accelerating the official launch of its first game, "Dungeon Log: Dagger Hit." This game is the first real-world application of the ESPORTS token after its issuance and recently completed its closed beta test, with 500 users participating and an average rating of 4.7 out of 5. According to the official plan, the game will be officially released in March. Compared to the test version, the official version will introduce a more complete growth system and richer gameplay mechanics, with ESPORTS and X402 being incorporated into the core design.

A North Korean-linked hacking group is continuously upgrading its attack methods targeting crypto industry professionals. Using AI-generated deepfake video calls, they impersonate individuals known or trusted by victims, tricking them into installing malware. Martin Kuchař, co-founder of BTC Prague, revealed that attackers use compromised Telegram accounts to initiate video calls, claiming to "fix Zoom audio issues," to lure victims into installing malware disguised as plugins, thereby gaining complete control of their devices. Security research firm Huntress points out that this attack pattern is highly consistent with its previous actions targeting crypto developers. The malicious scripts can perform multi-stage infections on macOS devices, including implanting backdoors, logging keystrokes, stealing clipboard content, and accessing crypto wallet assets. Researchers have strongly attributed this series of attacks to the North Korean state-sponsored hacking group Lazarus Group (also known as BlueNoroff). The head of information security at blockchain security company SlowMist stated that such attacks exhibit clear reuse characteristics across different operations, targeting specific wallets and crypto professionals. Analysts believe that with the widespread adoption of deepfake and voice cloning technologies, images and videos are no longer reliable evidence of identity authenticity. The encryption industry needs to be more vigilant and strengthen multi-factor authentication and security measures. (decrypt)

According to crypto analyst Ai (@ai_9684xtpa), 13 addresses belonging to the same whale or institution withdrew a total of 353,483.67 ETH between March and July 2017, worth approximately $24.15 million at the time, with an average cost as low as $68.32.

On the safe-haven asset side, precious metals are attracting inflows. On the risk asset side, technology stocks continue to see significant gains. Cryptocurrencies are less attractive to investors than gold in terms of safe-haven appeal and less so than AI in terms of risk, and their appeal to capital is declining in the current market phase.

Ether (ETH) is displaying a macroeconomic pattern reminiscent of the conditions that led to a significant rally in 2021. According to Cointelegraph, an analyst has identified a recurring sequence that connects global liquidity, U.S. small-cap equities, and Ether’s price, suggesting a similar impact could occur for the altcoin. In 2021, Ethereum experienced a 226% surge after a crucial global liquidity threshold was reached. Currently, ETH accumulation addresses are showing a rising realized price near $2,700, reinforcing structural support. The setup driven by global liquidity mirrors the 2021 breakout for ETH. Crypto analyst Sykodelic has highlighted a recurring pattern that links global liquidity, the Russell 2000 index, and Ethereum’s potential breakout. The sequence involves three steps: a breakout in global liquidity, followed by a breakout in the Russell 2000, and then a delayed breakout in Ether. On the current monthly chart, this sequence has reappeared. Sykodelic noted that global liquidity has already broken out, with the Russell 2000 following suit. Historically, Ether lags this move, typically breaking out several weeks later. In 2021, ETH began its major rally approximately 119 days after the Russell confirmed its breakout, suggesting a potential breakout for ETH in March 2026. The monthly candle on the Russell is closely matching the prior cycle, indicating a similar risk-on regime. The last time these indicators aligned, Ethereum surged 226% between March 2021 and November 2021. This supports the view that liquidity conditions, rather than short-term technical indicators, could establish the long-term trend for high-beta assets like ETH. Max, the CEO of BecauseBitcoin, noted on X that the Russell 2000 has historically led Ethereum into price discovery phases. With the Russell 2000 reaching a new all-time high at 2,738 on Thursday, the analyst suggested that this leadership could again favor upside expansion for ETH in the coming weeks if the correlations hold. Onchain data also indicates continued accumulation. CryptoQuant data shows that the realized price of ETH accumulation addresses is rising and currently sits near $2,720. The realized price of accumulation addresses has historically acted as strong support for long-term holders and has not been broken in prior drawdowns. The proximity of the realized price to the spot suggests accumulation remains active, even during volatility. If ETH revisits this zone, analysts estimate downside could be limited to roughly 7%, placing a potential local bottom near $2,720. This level also aligns with external liquidity zones, increasing the likelihood of a trend response if tested.
