Some redacted content in the Epstein case can be copied and restored
BlockBeats News, December 25, according to Global Times, the U.S. Department of Justice recently released documents related to the Epstein case, with the content of the files, which are as long as 100 pages or even longer, being completely redacted.

VC Review of 2025 Crypto Value Flows: Stablecoins, Prediction Markets, and "Established Players" Emerge as Biggest Winners
BlockBeats News, December 25 — After a year in which the regulatory environment gradually became clearer and market performance diverged, several top venture capitalists have begun to reassess where value will accrue in the crypto industry in 2025. In a recent podcast, Pantera Capital partner Mason Nystrom, Hash3 co-founder Hootie Rashidifard, and Variant partner Alana Levin all agreed: stablecoins, prediction markets, and traditional finance and internet "incumbents" are the biggest winners this year.
Nystrom pointed out that established companies like Robinhood moved quickly after regulatory clarity, significantly accelerating their crypto strategies in 2025, "accurately predicting where the puck is going."
Rashidifard stated that both stablecoin trading volume and profitability have exploded, "Tether has become one of the most profitable companies per capita." He emphasized that stablecoins now not only generate profits but also provide fundamental financial value to end users.
Levin identified prediction markets as one of the fastest-growing sectors in 2025, with Kalshi and Polymarket having overcome doubts about "wash trading" and "only betting on elections." She specifically mentioned: Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) invested $2 billion in Polymarket this year, which was astonishing.
From the perspective of losers:
On the individual level: Levin singled out Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon. Due to fraud charges related to the Terra collapse, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison in December, becoming a landmark failure case in the industry.
On the institutional level: Rashidifard believes that the U.S. SEC during the "Biden era" is one of the systemic losers, as its long-term tough enforcement did not yield effective regulatory results and instead forced many entrepreneurs to leave the country. He noted that with Gensler's departure, the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, and progress in market structure legislation, the U.S. government's attitude toward the crypto industry has fundamentally shifted in 2025.

VC Post-Mortem 2025: Crypto Value Flows - Stablecoins, Prediction Markets, and OGs Emerge as Biggest Winners
BlockBeats News, December 25th, after a year of gradually clarifying regulatory environment and differentiated market performance, several top VCs have started to reevaluate the value proposition of the 2025 crypto industry. In a recent podcast, Pantera Capital Partner Mason Nystrom, Hash3 Co-Founder Hootie Rashidifard, and Variant Partner Alana Levin unanimously agreed that stablecoins, prediction markets, and traditional finance and internet incumbents were the biggest winners this year.
Nystrom pointed out that established companies like Robinhood quickly moved after regulatory clarity, significantly accelerating their crypto strategy in 2025, "well anticipating where the puck is going to go."
Rashidifard stated that stablecoin trading volume and profitability have surged, "Tether has become one of the most profitable companies per capita." He emphasized that stablecoins not only make money now but also truly provide fundamental financial value to end users.
Levin listed prediction markets as one of the fastest-growing tracks in 2025, with Kalshi and Polymarket dispelling doubts about "volume padding" and "solely betting on elections." She specifically mentioned that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) invested $2 billion in Polymarket this year, which was impressive.
Looking at it from the perspective of failures:
On a personal level: Levin called out Terraform Labs Co-Founder Do Kwon. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in December for fraud related to the collapse of Terra, considered a landmark failure case in the industry.
On an institutional level: Rashidifard believed that the U.S. SEC during the "Biden era" was one of the institutional failures, as long-term tough enforcement did not bring about actual regulatory results but instead forced many entrepreneurs to leave. He pointed out that with Gensler stepping down, the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, and the advancement of market structure legislation, the U.S. government's attitude toward the crypto industry underwent a fundamental shift in 2025.

The European Union increases taxation on cryptocurrencies as the DAC8 Act officially comes into effect.
BlockBeats News, December 25, the European Union's latest directive on digital asset tax transparency will take effect on January 1, officially incorporating cryptocurrency activities into the EU's tax reporting system. The directive, named DAC8, requires crypto asset service providers to collect and report detailed information about users and transactions to national tax authorities, which will then share this data among EU member states.
This reform fills a longstanding gap, as certain parts of the crypto economy have previously faced less regulatory scrutiny than traditional financial accounts. Under DAC8, tax authorities can regulate the holding, trading, and transfer of cryptocurrencies with the same transparency as bank accounts.
Securities exchanges, brokers, and other crypto service providers must now treat tax reporting as a core operational requirement rather than a secondary compliance matter. Although the directive takes effect from January 1, businesses have a limited transition period to adjust their systems before enforcement becomes mandatory.
