What Is a Tumbler?
Tumblers are responsible for breaking down transactions into smaller parts — and mixing them with others. This makes transactions harder for third parties to hunt down.
Users deposit their coins into the tumbler’s pool. The tumbler will return each user the same number of coins, minus the fees. However, the funds received will be made up of a multitude of parts of the funds that other users have deposited into the system. This helps to create a divide between the address sending crypto, and the one that is receiving it.
Tumblers usually do not ask for information about their users, ensuring anonymity. As a result, they are often accused of enabling illicit activities like money laundering, given that they make the anonymous applications of the Dark Web much more convenient and the jobs of law enforcement agencies more difficult.
However, tumbling cryptocurrency does not always carry suspicious motives. Users who resort to mixing should bear in mind that tumblers’ manipulations carry a few dangers, notably the risk of hacking. In case of security holes, it would be easy for hackers to recover personal data or trace the origin of a user’s coins.

How Are They Useful in Web3?
In the world of web3, TEEs offer several compelling advantages. They enable confidential smart contract execution, allowing developers to build dApps that protect sensitive user data without sacrificing functionality. By offloading complex computations to TEEs, blockchain can process transactions more efficiently, improving overall scalability.
TEEs can act as trusted intermediaries between different blockchain networks, facilitating secure cross-chain transactions and data exchange. They can also serve as secure environments for oracle computations, ensuring the integrity of external data fed into smart contracts.
TEEs are used by multiple projects for these purposes, including Secret Network, Oasis Network, Automata, Phala, Marlin, and Flashbots.
Some layer 2 scaling solutions leverage TEEs to perform off-chain computations securely, reducing the burden on the main blockchain while maintaining security guarantees. In the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi), TEEs enable the development of applications that can process sensitive financial data without exposing it to the public blockchain.
For crypto wallets and other blockchain applications, TEEs provide a secure environment for storing and managing private keys. This adds an extra layer of protection against potential attacks or breaches.
While TEEs offer significant benefits for web3 applications, it's important to note that they're not without challenges. The reliance on hardware manufacturers introduces a degree of centralization, which can be at odds with the decentralized ethos of many blockchain projects. Additionally, while rare, hardware vulnerabilities in TEEs can potentially compromise the security of the entire system.
Despite these challenges, the unique combination of security, performance, and flexibility offered by TEEs makes them a powerful tool in the web3 developer's arsenal. As the technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative uses of TEEs in the blockchain space, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in decentralized systems.
How Do They Differ From Zero-knowledge Proofs?
While both TEEs and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) aim to enhance privacy and security in digital systems, they approach these goals in fundamentally different ways. TEEs use hardware-based isolation and encryption to protect data and computations. ZKPs, on the other hand, are purely cryptographic protocols that allow one party to prove knowledge of information without revealing the information itself.
In terms of performance, TEEs generally offer better results for complex computations. ZKPs can be computationally expensive, especially for intricate proofs, although verification is typically fast. TEEs provide a more flexible environment for general-purpose computations, while ZKPs often require custom circuits for specific use cases, which can limit their applicability.
The trust models of these technologies also differ. TEEs rely on trust in the hardware manufacturer and the integrity of the hardware itself. ZKPs don't require trust in any third party but rely on the mathematical properties of the cryptographic protocols.
When it comes to data handling, TEEs can work with and protect large amounts of data in real-time. ZKPs are more suited to proving specific statements about data without revealing the data itself. In terms of scalability, TEEs can handle multiple users and applications concurrently with relative ease. Scaling ZKPs for multi-party scenarios can be more challenging, especially when privacy between parties is required.
#US30 UPDATE :
#US30 had a retracement phrase and gave a break below of the structural support zone. Index having a clean range to the left to dip all the way down towards 43,600 zone. That's the reason to always book profits and wait for the price action.
Here's the Analysis of #YFI :
#YFI had a very huge rally to the upside and rejected hard from the key resistance area (grey box) around $14,500 - $15,000. Now, price is going though the retracement phrase and kept on dropping towards the H4 Support area around $11,150 area. If price sustains over the level, then we can see a rally towards the previous Highs and can expect a breakout too.
In November, Long-Term Holders (LTHs) are experiencing a dramatic shift in their profit-to-loss ratio, primarily because almost all of their held Bitcoin is now in a profitable position. This indicates a strong market sentiment where nearly all LTH-held Bitcoin has appreciated in value. Historically, such periods of euphoria can persist for several months, provided there is continuous and significant new demand entering the market. The current scenario suggests a robust and optimistic Bitcoin market dynamic.

What Are Treasury Bills (T-Bills)?
Treasury bills (T-Bills) are essentially short-term U.S. government debt obligations that are backed by the Treasury Department with a maturity in a year or less.
Treasury bills are typically sold in denominations of $1,000, and some can even reach a maximum denomination of $5 million when in non-competitive bids.
As such, these securities are widely regarded as a low-risk as well as a secure investment.
The U.S. government issues treasury bills to fund different public projects, for example, the construction of highways, and when an investor purchases a treasury bill, the U.S. government is writing an "I owe you" letter to the investors. This means that treasury bills are considered safe as well as conservative investments since the U.S. government backs them.
Treasury bills are held until their maturity date; however, some holders might want to cash out before the maturity and realize the short-term interest gains through reselling the investment to the secondary market.
Discussing treasury bill maturities, they can have maturities of just a few days up to a maximum of 52 weeks. Keep in mind that the longer a maturity date is, the higher the interest rate that the treasury bill will pay to the investor.
Treasury bills are issued at a discount from the face value of the bill, and this means that the purchase is less than the face value of the bill itself.
Over time, when the treasury bill ends up maturing, the investor is paid the face value of the bill they bought. If the face value amount is greater than the purchase price, the difference is in the interest earned for the investor. Keep in mind that treasury bills do not pay regular interest payments as with a coupon bond, for example; however, a treasury bill does have an interest which is reflected on the amount it pays when it ends up maturing.
#DXY UPDATE :
#DXY turned bearish as said and now moving lower after the retest, with that we saw a fruitful push in market. Now Index is approaching towards the support zone 104.87% - 105.18% where market might go into consolidation or a healthy retracement phrase.
Here's the Analysis of #ZRO :
#ZRO kept on printing the new higher high and now sitting on the structural support zone of $6.79 - $6.91 and expected to further higher in this bullrun.
In the March price peak, coins from 2021-2023 were actively sold. The current rally shows a different trend: 2023 coins are driving most of the selling, with 2021-2022 coins just starting to contribute.
This suggests a "swing-trade" strategy, where newer investors are more actively taking profits, while slightly older investors are more cautious and strategic about selling.
The market reveals a calculated, measured approach to Bitcoin profit-taking.
#BTC had a strong push to the upside and trying to turn the bullish market structure and currently, price is going through the retracement. Price can dip below the $100,000 for a liquidity hunt.

Recent analysis reveals the Bitcoin selling pressure composition from November 2024:
1. 6-12 months: $12.6 billion (35.3% of total selling)
2. 3-5 years: $6.3 billion
3. 1-2 years: $7.2 billion
4. 2-3 years: $4.8 billion
5. 5+ years: $4.8 billion
Coins aged 6-12 months dominate the selling pressure, indicating recent investors are taking profits. These appear to be swing-trade style investors who entered after the Bitcoin ETF launch. More established long-term holders seem more patient, suggesting a calculated, selective selling approach rather than a massive market liquidation.
#GOLD UPDATE :
#GOLD had a great breakout after a full week of consolidation and retest the zone as support. Price moved away from there nearly towards the resistance drawn, expecting a tap into the zone and a drop or reaction from there itself.
#BTC again gave a solid rejection off the support zone, and now the zone standing very strong. Still market structure is bearish at the moment, by NY Open we can expect some strong moves to the upside if H4 candle closed with a small body.

What Are TEEs?
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are secure areas within a main processor. They provide a protected space where sensitive code and data can operate without fear of tampering or observation from the outside world. In the context of web3, think of TEEs as impenetrable vaults within nodes or validators, safeguarding private keys, confidential smart contract data, and critical decentralized application (dApp) operations from potential threats in the broader network environment.
The concept of TEEs isn't new. It originated in the mid-2000s when the Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) defined them in their "Advanced Trusted Environment: OMTP TR1" standard. This standard outlined two security profiles: one targeting software attacks and another addressing both software and hardware threats.
At their core, TEEs consist of two main components: a hardware isolation mechanism and a secure operating system running on top of that isolation. This combination creates a robust barrier between the TEE and the rest of the system. Only trusted applications have access to the full power of the device's processor, peripherals, and memory within this protected zone. Meanwhile, the hardware isolation shields these resources from user-installed apps running in the main operating system.
TEEs rely on a "hardware root of trust" to prevent simulation by user-controlled software. This root of trust is typically a set of private keys embedded directly into the chip during manufacturing. These keys are immutable and serve as the foundation for the TEE's security model.
TEEs have become increasingly used in web3 to enable privacy-preserving smart contracts and enhance the security of decentralized applications. This trend has led to the development of TEE-based "confidential computing" platforms specifically designed for blockchains. They allow developers to build dApps that can process sensitive data off-chain while still maintaining the trust and transparency benefits of blockchains.
What Are They Used For in Web2?
TEEs have a wide range of applications across various industries, and are included as standard in all new NVIDIA H100 GPUs. They're commonly used in Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect high-value content like 4K movies or premium audio from unauthorized access or copying. In the realm of mobile financial services, TEEs secure mobile wallets, contactless payments, and point-of-sale terminals by safeguarding sensitive financial data.
Authentication is another key use case for TEEs. They provide a secure environment for biometric identification methods such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and voice authorization. Enterprises and government organizations leverage TEEs to handle confidential information on mobile devices and server infrastructure securely.
In the world of software development, TEEs enable secure modular programming. They allow for the creation of isolated, secure modules within larger software systems, enhancing overall security and reliability. With the rise of digital assets, TEEs are increasingly used to implement secure crypto-wallets, offering enhanced protection for storing and managing tokens.

The Long-Term Holder (LTH) Liveliness metric helps gauge Bitcoin holder behavior by measuring the balance between holding time and spending time. While the current supply distribution rate is higher than the March peak, the volume of coin destruction remains relatively low. This suggests that the Bitcoin being sold is from more recently acquired coins (around 6 months old) rather than long-held, older coins. In other words, the market is seeing active trading, but not a massive liquidation of long-standing Bitcoin holdings.
