<h4>Major Worldwide News Update:</h4>
<ul>
 <li>Bitcoin whales transferring significant holdings to Coinbase ahead of a potential spot Bitcoin ETF approval creates speculation of a bear trap or strategic move for aggressive buying. Grayscale's amended ETF filing adds complexity. Crypto enthusiasts anticipate potential developments by the SEC before the December 29 deadline.</li>
 <li>Despite <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/price-analysis/crypto-chess-bitcoin-price-puzzle-leaves-investors-on-edge" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin's</a> high volatility, XRP has shown minimal growth in the current market cycle, contrasting with BTC's nearly 13% jump over the last 30 days. Analysts, including Lark Davis, believe in XRP's potential, citing Ripple's ability to introduce features and partnerships. Ripple's recent registration with the Central Bank of Ireland adds regulatory support. Notably, Ripple executives Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse, major XRP holders, received relief when the SEC withdrew charges in October 2023.</li>
 <li>Grayscale, following Barry Silbert's resignation, submits another amended S-3 filing to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a Bitcoin ETF. The move aligns with SEC's cash-only mandate, indicating preparation for competition in the ETF market, with updates ahead of the January approval deadline. Analysts suggest ETFs could disrupt crypto exchanges' profitable model.</li>
 <li>Sebastien Guillemot, co-founder of DcSpark and Paima Studios, hints at a potential collaboration in 2024, aiming to combine Arbitrum with Cardano and MinaProtocol. Guillemot sees value in overcoming Ethereum's market challenges, particularly in decentralized gaming, with a focus on integrating Cardano to enhance scalability using <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/polygon-labs-moving-to-zero-knowledge-technology" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zero Knowledge</a> (ZK) cryptography. Despite Cardano's notable growth, it remains 80% below its record peak in September 2021.</li>
 <li>Telcoin, a mobile finance app on Polygon, suffered a significant exploit causing a 40% TEL token drop and $1.2M in unauthorized withdrawals. Swiftly responding, Telcoin temporarily suspended its app, identified the issue with Polygon interaction, and restored affected wallets, showcasing commitment to security and user protection.</li>
 <li>Tether, the leading stablecoin issuer, recently minted one billion USDT, termed as 'inventory replenish.' CEO Paolo Ardoino clarified these tokens are reserved for future issuance demands and chain swaps, prompting varied reactions within the crypto community regarding transparency and market impact. Despite skepticism, Tether's significant growth reinforces its influence in the evolving crypto landscape.</li>
 <li>Crypto scammers stole $3 million on Christmas using the MS Drainer tool, responsible for $59 million in 2023. <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/crypto-phishing-attacks-increased-by-40-percent" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Phishing attacks</a> targeted various cryptocurrencies through counterfeit Web3 platforms via Google Ads. Ongoing challenges in digital advertising security call for heightened user vigilance and improved preventive measures.</li>
