【ChainNews】Recently, the U.S. federal government adjusted its work schedule due to holiday arrangements, and this change directly affects the release schedule of important economic data. The U.S. Energy Information Administration originally scheduled to release crude oil and natural gas inventory data this week has been rescheduled to next Monday (December 29) at 23:30 and Tuesday (December 30) at 01:00, respectively. For traders who focus on commodities and related assets, this means an extension of the data vacuum period. However, there is an advance—due to Christmas holiday compression, the U.S. initial jobless claims data was released early tonight (December 24) at 21:30. For investors with exposure to both on-chain and traditional markets, fluctuations in these economic data often reflect changes in Federal Reserve policy expectations, thereby influencing the trend of risk assets. It is recommended to closely monitor these key time points during this holiday cycle to avoid being caught off guard by unexpected data releases or market sentiment swings.

Even more impressive, this guy now holds a total of 40,974 ETH, valued at 121 million USD, while borrowing 63 million USDT from Aave.
