Nature Magazine Introduces DeSci Protocol ResearchHub, Its Token RSC Surges Over 20% in 24H
One of the most cited scientific journals globally, Nature Magazine, introduced the DeSci protocol ResearchHub in an article on December 11. The platform pays peer reviewers the equivalent of $150 in cryptocurrency to independently review new research papers.
Nature pointed out in its article that this also presents a money-making opportunity for some, mentioning that Pedro Paulo Gattai Gomes, a molecular biology advisor in São Paulo, stated that his income from reviewing papers for ResearchHub is now higher than when he was a professor at an academic institution.
Gomes stated that he reviews an average of 15 papers per month, earning ResearchHub ResearchCoin tokens (RSC) worth $150 for each review. He told the magazine, "Getting paid to review is just, because in my view, it is very unfair to do voluntary work without even a thank you."
The DeSci protocol ResearchHub was launched in 2020 and is supported by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who spoke at the ResearchHub Journal launch in San Francisco last month: "It is a strange anomaly in history that peer reviewers are not compensated. What they do is valuable, and we should recognize and reward them."
According to CoinGecko data, RSC is currently priced at $0.9955, with a 24H increase of 20.1%.

Additionally, it stated that the main track for AI Agents is supported by ai16z and the Solana Foundation.
Industry News
The U.S. Senate's vote on SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw's reappointment remains "to be determined."
If the nomination continues to stall, President Trump may choose Republican Paul Atkins to fill her vacancy among the five commissioners, as her term has expired. According to regulations, if no one else is confirmed to take her position, Crenshaw can only serve at the SEC until January 2026. Trump announced earlier this month that Atkins is his pick to lead the agency. Chair Gary Gensler and Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga are both Democrats and plan to leave the SEC in January. The SEC can have a maximum of five commissioners, but no more than three can be from the same political party. Tyler Gellasch, chair of the Healthy Markets Association, stated that failing to confirm Crenshaw's reappointment could lead to the agency losing important political perspectives.
Gellasch stated in a statement sent via email on December 10: "A shift to single-party control of the SEC means that the agency's rulemaking and enforcement could swing from one ideological extreme to another, severely jeopardizing the U.S. position as a leading global market."
The committee's top Republican, Senator Tim Scott, stated last week that he opposes efforts to push Crenshaw and other Biden nominees through during the "lame duck" session. Scott stated in a December 6 email: "The Democrats' last-minute push to force through President Biden's nominees is a blatant obstruction of President Trump's agenda."
Vancouver City Council in Canada Passes Motion to Become a "Bitcoin-Friendly City"
On Wednesday, the Vancouver City Council in Canada passed a motion to become a "Bitcoin-friendly city" and explore its potential municipal uses. Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim said in a phone interview before the council vote on Tuesday: "I've wanted to do this for a while, but I don't think the public is ready for the conversation." His decision aims to give more voice to cryptocurrencies, as "suddenly, with what is happening in the U.S., many other nation-states and provinces and states have indicated they will do the same," Sim said: "We want to be at the forefront."
Since announcing the motion in late November, Sim has been a staunch advocate for Bitcoin, calling it "the greatest invention in human history," and stating that traditional fiat currency "will go to zero." He believes Bitcoin "may" only be worth a small fraction of its future value, but he emphasized that he is not qualified to provide investment advice. (Bloomberg)
Previously, Ken Sim, who has served as Vancouver's mayor since 2022, announced that the city plans to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet as part of its efforts to diversify its investments.
At the Vancouver City Council meeting on November 26, Mayor Sim submitted a motion notice, scheduled for December 11, titled "Maintaining the City's Purchasing Power Through Financial Resource Diversification: Becoming a Bitcoin-Friendly City."
As of November 27, the motion had not yet appeared on the city government website, and the Vancouver Mayor's office declined to comment. It is unclear whether the mayor's motion is a response to local and federal government considerations in the U.S. to legislate the establishment of Bitcoin reserves. After the 2024 elections, legislators in the Pennsylvania House and U.S. Senate have proposed plans for the government to hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
U.S. SEC Advances Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Application for NYSE Listing
According to a public document, the U.S. SEC is soliciting public comments on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF application for NYSE listing.
The Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF is a proposed spot cryptocurrency index fund composed of BTC and ETH. On November 26, Bitwise and the NYSE submitted the application to the SEC for the ETF listing, and now the SEC is advancing the application to the next stage by soliciting industry feedback.
Alabama State Auditor Publicly Proposes Establishing Strategic Bitcoin Reserves
Recently, Alabama State Auditor Andrew Sorrell publicly proposed establishing Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBR), a proposal based on the growing interest of federal and state policymakers in SBR, and the significant increase in Bitcoin prices following Trump's election as president (who campaigned on supporting Bitcoin policies).
During a media interview, Sorrell emphasized his belief in the inevitability of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency's long-term success: "The debate about whether cryptocurrencies will succeed is over." He further highlighted the value of digital assets in expanding national investment portfolios: "As of now, cryptocurrencies are a $3 trillion asset class, and the national investment in cryptocurrencies is zero. It is also the fastest-growing asset class with the greatest potential for price appreciation." Additionally, he stated that the establishment of Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBR) has three main goals: portfolio diversification, a cryptocurrency-friendly positioning, and protection against currency-related risks. "What happens if the inflation rate reaches 8% again? The value of Bitcoin is not affected by the dollar's movements; it will strengthen our nation's balance sheet and can be used as collateral for future debt issuance."
Project News
On-chain data shows that the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) purchased $5 million worth of ETH on Wednesday. This brought the project's total ETH balance to over $50 million, primarily accumulated in recent weeks.
The wallet conducted three independent transactions about four hours ago, receiving 1,285 ETH from CoW Swap. The wallet appears to be using profits from the ongoing WLFI token sale to purchase these ETH, mainly through its substantial stablecoin holdings. The company also seems to have sent funds directly from the World Liberty contract address starting with 0xe217e15b to a wallet starting with 0x5be9a495, which has no outflow transactions.
Analysis indicates that exchanging stablecoins for ETH suggests that World Liberty Financial is seeking to engage more deeply in the crypto economy. This may also indicate that the team believes ETH is a better reserve asset than the dollar. Notable Ethereum investor and advisor Eric Conner first noticed these transactions, stating in a private message: "They converted all the stablecoins they received into ETH."
Spark Deploys $100 Million Stablecoin Liquidity to Base and Activates Savings Feature

The specific allocation plan for ALIGN is as follows:
Ecosystem and Community: 44%;

Memecoin Issuance Platform jump.fun to Launch 2.0 Beta Version on Base
According to an official announcement from jump.fun, the platform will launch its 2.0 Beta version and one-click token issuance feature on the Base chain on December 11, 2024. Users will only need to spend $0.2 to deploy a Memecoin, while the platform's smart contract will automatically provide 6 ETH of initial liquidity support for each project and complete a 100% token liquidity pool injection in Uniswap V2, providing foundational support for project launches.
With the 2.0 upgrade, jump.fun also introduced a community revenue-sharing program, where 100% of the platform's revenue will be used to repurchase JUMP, with 50% directly airdropped to Memecoin deployers. This mechanism aims to incentivize developers to actively participate, further enhancing the community ecosystem's vibrancy and sustainability.

Blockchain Startup Commonware Raises $9 Million, Co-led by Haun Ventures and Dragonfly Capital
Blockchain startup Commonware has completed a $9 million funding round, co-led by Haun Ventures and Dragonfly Capital, with participation from notable cryptocurrency developers such as Smokey the Bera from BeraChain, Zaki Manian from Cosmos, Sreeram Kannan from EigenLayer, Dan Romero from Farcaster, and Mert Mumtaz from Helius.
Commonware is a startup focused on building advanced blockchain primitives that allow developers to fine-tune their networks according to their exact specifications.
Founded by Anna Yuan, former head of stablecoins at the Solana Foundation, Perena has completed approximately $3 million in Pre-Seed funding, led by Borderless Capital, with participation from Binance Labs, Primitive Ventures, ANAGRAM, Maelstrom, Breed VC, Temporal, ABCDE Labs, SevenX Ventures, Pivot Global, Miton, and Graph Ventures.
According to founder Anna Yuan, Perena is building a stablecoin exchange pool that allows traders to easily swap between up to seven different stablecoins—similar to what Curve's 3pool does on Ethereum. Stablecoin holders will be able to earn additional yields by lending assets into the pool, gaining more returns based on their risk tolerance. In addition to the mining pool infrastructure, Perena also plans to establish a "synthetic currency," which Yuan claims will be more resilient than most fiat currencies held in traditional bank accounts. This will take the form of a collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoin backed by other stablecoins—similar to what MakerDAO (now Sky) does with DAI. Perena has not finalized its design, but Anna Yuan hopes that building a CDP alongside stable exchanges will create more "synergies."
Previously, Binance Labs announced its investment in the Solana ecosystem's stablecoin infrastructure protocol Perena.

Ray Dalio: Investing in Hard Assets like Gold and Bitcoin While Avoiding Debt Assets
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio stated during a speech at a financial conference in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday that he will invest in hard assets like gold and Bitcoin while avoiding debt assets, as most major economies face rising debt issues.
He said, "I believe the debt currency problem may be imminent, and I want to avoid debt assets like bonds and hold some hard money like gold and Bitcoin."
He added that the debt of the U.S. and all major countries except Germany has reached "unprecedented levels," and this amount is unsustainable. Dalio stated, "These countries are likely to experience a debt crisis in the coming years, which will lead to a significant decline in the value of their currencies."
He also mentioned that "debt, currency, and economy" are one of the five driving forces he identifies that will drive "almost everything." Other forces include the internal political order driven by wealth and value gaps, as well as external geopolitical order.
Matrixport: Surge in Demand for Ethereum ETFs, Price Expected to Rise Significantly in 2025
Matrixport released a chart today indicating a significant increase in demand for Ethereum ETFs recently, with a cumulative net inflow of up to $1.8 billion over the past 12 days, with no single day experiencing net outflows. Three days saw single-day inflows exceeding $300 million. Adjusted for market capitalization, this is equivalent to nearly $1.2 billion in daily inflows for Bitcoin, as Ethereum's market cap is about one-fourth that of Bitcoin.
This capital flow may reflect a reallocation of investment direction or an expansion of scope, coinciding with the new fiscal year that U.S. mutual funds typically start on December 1, and also reflects market optimism for 2025. If this demand continues, Ethereum's price may rise significantly in 2025.
