We are starting 2026 with the first digest! Even though the Christmas and New Year holidays have shifted our focus, last week, there were really a lot of interesting insights from the world of crypto and blockchain.

The past week\u2019s crypto landscape delivered a mix of mainstream adoption milestones, historical reflections, and important security developments. From Visa expanding crypto card usage to Ethereum hitting a new transaction record, we\u2019ve prepared a full-fledged digest for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Visa Expands Crypto Card Spending<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visa reported continued growth in spending via crypto-linked cards<\/a>, signaling that digital assets are becoming more deeply embedded in everyday payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

According to the company<\/a>, users increasingly rely on crypto cards for real-world purchases, converting crypto balances into fiat at the point of sale.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a result, among the group of crypto-linked cards, EtherFi\u2019s Visa-backed card led by a wide margin<\/strong>, recording $55.4 million in total spending<\/strong><\/a> over the year. Cypher<\/strong> followed with $20.5 million<\/strong>, while the remaining cards accounted for smaller but steadily rising volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This trend reflects growing comfort among consumers and merchants with crypto-powered payment infrastructure. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For Visa, crypto cards act as a bridge between blockchain-based assets and traditional retail systems, while for users, they remove friction between holding crypto and actually spending it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Genesis Block Turns 17<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week marked 17 years since the mining of Bitcoin\u2019s genesis block<\/strong>, the moment that launched the entire crypto industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 3, 2009, a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto<\/strong> launched the main bitcoin network, mining a genesis block with 50 BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

His hash contains the headline of the article “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks<\/em>” by the British edition of The Times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, yes, we can say that on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin\u2019s first block embedded a message referencing the global financial crisis \u2013 a symbolic reminder of the system\u2019s original goal: creating an alternative to centralized finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first transaction took place on January 12, 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 BTC to Hal Finney<\/strong>. Three days before, the Bitcoin 0.1 software version was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Nakamoto’s identity and motives for creating Bitcoin are still a mystery that is being tried to solve in the crypto community and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Seventeen years later, Bitcoin has evolved<\/a> from an experimental peer-to-peer payment system<\/strong> into a global store of value<\/strong> held by individuals, institutions, and even governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anniversary served as a reminder of how far blockchain technology has come, and how Bitcoin\u2019s core principles of decentralization and censorship resistance continue to shape the broader ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZachXBT Identifies Hacker Behind $2M Crypto Theft<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT<\/strong> revealed<\/a> the identity of an individual linked to the theft of approximately $2 million in crypto assets<\/strong>, using social engineering methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the investigation, the alleged perpetrator is a Canadian resident known as Habi<\/strong>, who posed as a Coinbase technical support specialist while frequently changing aliases across social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation began with a group chat message dated December 30, 2024, in which the scammer shared a screenshot showing the theft of 21,000 XRP from a Coinbase user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 3, 2025, Habi posted an image of his Exodus wallet that exposed links to his Telegram and Instagram accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZachXBT cross-referenced the wallet\u2019s transaction history with these images and discovered that the XRP address was connected to the theft of approximately $500,000 <\/strong>from two additional Coinbase customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The on-chain detective also managed to identify the fraudster\u2019s Bitcoin address, which the attacker later inadvertently revealed by posting a screenshot of the wallet in another chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case demonstrated how on-chain analysis, transaction tracing, and public blockchain data can be used to uncover sophisticated cybercrime operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$3.9M Drained From Unleash Protocol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following the news about scams. Another security incident made headlines this week after hackers extracted roughly $3.9 million<\/strong> from the Unleash Protocol.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hacker withdrew the assets, converted them, and transferred them to the Ethereum network. He later sent 1,337.1 ETH<\/strong> to the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Source: X<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Unleash Protocol team confirmed the hacking<\/a>. The stolen tokens include WIP,<\/strong> USDC<\/strong>, WETH<\/strong>, stIP<\/strong> and vIP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack reportedly exploited vulnerabilities within the project\u2019s smart contract logic, allowing attackers to drain funds without directly compromising user wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our simple conclusion \u2013 even experienced users can be exposed when smart contracts behave in unexpected ways. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For developers, it reinforces the importance of rigorous testing, audits, and conservative permission models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum Hits Record 2.2M Daily Transactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2025, Ethereum reached a new milestone as daily transaction counts surged to a record 2.2 million<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spike reflects increased on-chain activity driven by Layer-2 networks<\/a>, DeFi usage, NFT platforms, and growing enterprise adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Ethereum transaction costs have fallen to historic lows<\/strong>, averaging around $0.17 per transfer<\/strong>, compared to peak fees of over $200 in 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Consistent protocol upgrades have driven this long-term decline in fees. The transition to Proof-of-Stake<\/strong> and the introduction of fee burning via EIP-1559<\/strong> significantly improved network efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, the Pectra and Fusaka upgrades<\/strong><\/a> deployed in 2025<\/strong> further reduced costs: Pectra optimized validator infrastructure and staking flexibility, while Fusaka increased base-layer capacity by roughly 33%<\/strong>, raising the gas limit from 45 million to 60 million per block<\/strong>, allowing Ethereum to process more transactions at lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This record signals Ethereum\u2019s continued relevance as the backbone of Web3 infrastructure. Despite competition from alternative blockchains, Ethereum\u2019s ecosystem<\/strong> remains the most active and diverse, supported by ongoing scalability upgrades and a mature developer community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up, this week\u2019s developments show crypto\u2019s dual reality: rapid mainstream adoption alongside persistent security challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As payment giants expand crypto access and blockchain usage hits new highs, the importance of robust infrastructure, transparency, and user education becomes even more critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
