The crypto space saw several major developments this week. Trust Wallet (TWT) rolled out a compensation program for victims affected by the recent extension hack, while FLOW token took a severe hit, plummeting 46% following a $3.9 million security breach. Meanwhile, search interest in crypto topics slid to year-end lows, signaling cooling retail attention.

On the institutional side, activity picked up momentum. A major fund moved roughly $30 million in AAVE to a compliance-focused platform, signaling strategic capital repositioning. In tokenomics moves, a prominent DEX burned 100 million UNI tokens, and blockchain infrastructure player BitMine made waves by staking $219 million worth of ETH—a substantial bet on network validation.

Flow drops 46%, really impressive. The security issues this time have caused some deep wounds... --- Big institutions are quietly buying AAVE. We're still here debating the rise and fall, the gap --- Bitmine invested 219 million ETH in staking. That’s a real daredevil move --- Retail interest hits a new low at the end of the year. Feels like everyone is just waiting for next year's story --- UNI burned 100 million tokens. Is this clearing inventory or really optimistic about the future? --- Trust Wallet compensating victims shows some conscience, but once trust is broken, it's very hard to rebuild --- Institutions are taking action, retail investors are sleeping. This is the current market situation --- Security incidents keep happening one after another. I don’t even dare to connect wallets casually anymore --- Staking ETH with $219 million. Some are optimistic, some are cautious. Who the knows? --- Retail attention is so cold, yet institutions are increasing their bets. Quite interesting

Once again, hacked and plummeting—why is the crypto world so frustrating this week... --- Institutions are bottom fishing, retail investors are still cutting losses—what a huge gap. --- FLOW dropped 46%... I just want to ask, is anyone still bottom fishing? --- UNI burned 100 million? Is this to rescue the market or just stubbornly holding on? --- BitMine invested over 200 million in staking ETH—if they lose, that’s really harsh. --- Search popularity at an all-time low, retail is completely dead—there’s really no one left. --- Regulatory-compliant platforms are adopting AAVE? It seems institutions are all preparing for something. --- Trust Wallet lost money, FLOW crashed—who wasn’t hurt this week? --- Honestly, only institutions are quietly positioning themselves this round; retail investors might as well wait to die. --- Has the extension been hacked and compensated? Much more conscientious than some projects.

Another week of crypto drama, FLOW drops directly by 46%, who can withstand this? The compensation plan is good, at least TWT still knows how to handle the aftermath, unlike some projects that disappear directly. Institutions are accumulating AAVE and ETH. Are these big players truly foresighted or just gambling? The destruction of a million UNI tokens seems to be aimed at stabilizing the price, but with retail enthusiasm so low, it's a bit emo. That 2.19 million ETH bet by BitMine, does the guy really believe in Ethereum or is he all-in on faith?

Another dark week, FLOW is directly cut in half... --- Institutions are quietly stockpiling, retail investors are still losing money, hilarious --- TWT compensation this time is pretty good, definitely better than those who just run away --- UNI burns 100 million tokens? Is this a market rescue or a smoke screen? --- BitMine spent over 200 million to buy ETH, quite bold --- Retail enthusiasm hits a new low again... it's time to wake up, everyone --- AAVE is transitioning to a compliant platform, this move is interesting, is regulation coming? --- This week is just big players cleaning out their positions, retail taking the bait, old tricks again

Here we go again, FLOW is directly cut in half this time, it's a bit tragic. Institutions are quietly accumulating, retail investors are still watching the show, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. UNI directly burns 100M? Such a move, big players are playing chess. Security vulnerabilities keep popping up one after another, it's pretty good that Trust Wallet can still be remedied this time. BitMine invested 219M ETH, do they really believe in staking or are they just trying to harvest the leeks? Retail investors are cooling off, no wonder things have been very quiet lately.

FLOW has crashed again, I really give up. Are hackers this powerful? --- Another security vulnerability, retail investors have to pay the price again. Institutions are quietly accumulating AAVE... --- UNI burns 100 million, BitMine invests over 200 million ETH. What are they hinting at? --- Search popularity hits a low at the end of the year. Retail investors are really cooling off. --- TWT compensation is just a band-aid, it doesn't address the root cause. I just want to ask which wallets are truly secure. --- Institutions are moving, retail investors are fleeing. I'm tired of this routine. --- Security incidents keep happening one after another. How are we supposed to play this?

FLOW took a hard fall, losing 46% directly... Retail investors are going to be the bagholders again. Institutions are quietly accumulating, and we're still watching the show? Another week of harvesting retail investors, is it just about Trust Wallet losing money and that's it? BitMine's bet on ETH is pretty aggressive, $219M... Do they really have such confidence? UNI burned 100M, as long as the numbers look good, that's enough. Search interest is declining, retail investors have all left, why are there still people rushing in?

FLOW drops by 46% directly; this security incident indeed caused a significant drop. However, observing institutions quietly accumulating AAVE and ETH, it seems they have known where the bottom is all along.
