This week's market has been volatile, but there are many noteworthy developments in the Web3 ecosystem. First, regarding token unlocks, KMNO is about to unlock approximately 229 million tokens, with an estimated market value of $11.8 million; immediately following, SVL will release 234 million tokens, worth about $6.8 million; ZORA also has 166 million tokens pending unlock, valued at approximately $6.7 million. These actions may impact recent market trends, so stay alert.

There are new changes in gaming and applications—Web3 game studio ChronoForge announced closure due to funding issues, which also highlights the operational pressures faced by many projects. On the positive side, Lighter has launched a new token, LIT, with the ecosystem and team each holding 50%. Product revenue is used for ecosystem growth and buybacks, which is a relatively healthy design approach. Additionally, the Trump-themed mobile game "Trump Billionaires Club" plans to launch on the Apple App Store on December 30, and IP collaborations are indeed popular in Web3 gaming.

Regulatory aspects cannot be ignored—Italy's securities regulator requires virtual asset service providers to apply for transformation into regulated crypto asset service providers by December 30, 2025. This indicates that compliance trends in Europe are accelerating. Meanwhile, a major exchange has adjusted its FDUSD margin trading pairs, restricting leverage trading for combinations like EIGEN/FDUSD and ARB/FDUSD.

On the macro front, the Federal Reserve will release the December policy meeting minutes on December 30, and the Bank of Japan has also published monetary policy review opinions. These events could influence liquidity and market sentiment moving forward.

Be careful with this round of token unlocks, several large releases are happening simultaneously. The direct shutdown of ChronoForge was truly shocking; this is the consequence of running out of funds. Lighter's recent design is quite good; the distribution of LIT seems to genuinely consider the ecosystem. European regulations are coming again; it feels like 2025 will be a deadline for service providers. They dare to make a game based on Trump; I doubt they can sustain the hype. The Federal Reserve's minutes are always unavoidable; it's really annoying. Leverage trading has been restricted again; are we going to get liquidated again today? This market has been so turbulent that it's giving me a headache; let's see who can survive until next year.

Another wave of unlocking pressure, keep a close watch ChronoForge can shut down at any time, how tough must the mentality of crypto investors be Does anyone really play the Trump-themed game? It feels a bit fake Italy's regulatory boot has landed, Europe is really going to do it After the release of the Federal Reserve minutes, we have to watch the Fed's moves Lighter's token distribution is quite comfortable, unlike some projects that are too outrageous KMNO, SVL, ZORA are unlocking simultaneously, this pace is a bit intense Leverage trading restrictions have been imposed, another tool for cutting the leeks has been weakened Next year, the compliance wave is coming, small projects probably won't be able to show off for long Web3 games still rely on IP and celebrity effects; technology alone really isn't enough

The token unlock wave is coming, and this round is going to be bloody ChronoForge's collapse was really heartbreaking, indicating that funds are indeed tight LIT's distribution is okay, at least it's not purely a rug pull European regulations are becoming stricter, compliance is unavoidable The Federal Reserve minutes from December 30th, time to watch the show again Trump's mobile game is launched, the IP concept can really be hyped EIGEN and ARB leverage limits have been imposed, is the exchange clearing out? With so many unlocks happening, there might be short-term pressure Lighter's approach is much clearer than most projects This week really had everything, from crashes to regulation to macro, can't keep up

The token unlock wave feels like another dump is coming... The collapse of ChronoForge is really heartbreaking, indicating that the liquidity pool is indeed tight. Lighter's LIT configuration is pretty good; finally seeing some considerate design. It's not wrong for the Trump mobile game to ride the hype; IP is indeed valuable. Italy's regulatory crackdown is quite aggressive this time; next year, we need to be cautious about compliance risks.

Here comes the unlocking wave, be careful of KMNO and SVL dumping Is ChronoForge finished? It's really hard to survive in this bear market Lighter's LIT allocation model looks pretty good, definitely better than those rug pulls Trump's mobile game riding the hype, this move will surely attract traffic Italy's latest regulation wave is here again, Europe is really tightening the net one by one Waiting for the Federal Reserve minutes, this week might see more volatility Leverage trading has been restricted again, EIGEN and ARB will suffer So many tokens being unlocked, the atmosphere is even more intense, everyone Lighter's approach is quite thoughtful, the design of the LIT mechanism is indeed quite considerate Is it time to buy the dip, or should we wait a bit longer for the Federal Reserve...

The unlocking trend is back again. Is this time really the moment to dump? KMNO, SVL, and ZORA are all dumping together. It feels like December will be quite tough... ChronoForge is dead, but at least Lighter's LIT distribution is more considerate, showing more conscience than those who cut leeks. Does anyone really play the Trump mobile game? It's hilarious. Regulatory compliance is tightening step by step in Europe, and exchanges are starting to restrict leverage. Next year, they might wipe out a wave of people. The Federal Reserve minutes are the real killer weapon; they will determine the upcoming rhythm.

Another wave of major unlocks, this time three tokens together, feels like it's going to explode It's really upsetting that ChronoForge shut down, but the 50-50 distribution design of Lighter is indeed good, much more reliable than projects that immediately give everything to the team Trump games are now listed, and now any IP can be hyped up, it's crazy Regulations are tightening in Europe with reviews, and leverage here is being restricted again, liquidity just disappeared? Should we reduce our positions, everyone? This pace is a bit oppressive Waiting for the Federal Reserve minutes, do you think there will be another wave of sharp declines? A bunch of major events happening at once, is this exchange trying to force people out?

Another batch of tokens unlocked, I've long been used to the rhythm of sharp declines. It's a bit heartbreaking that ChronoForge is dead, but the 50/50 distribution of Lighter looks quite comfortable. Trump game launched? That's hilarious, it's a miracle if this thing can become popular. European regulators are back again, we need to pay attention on our side. The Federal Reserve minutes are on December 30th, so we'll have to wait and see.
