Bitcoin's $24,111 Binance Wick, Hoskinson's Canton Critique With XRP Reference and Dogecoin's Merchant "Naughty List" on Dec. 26

On Dec. 26, Charles Hoskinson criticized Canton while highlighting XRP and Midnight, arguing that real Web3 networks and RWA scale cannot be fabricated. A sharp $24,111.22 wick on Binance's BTC/USD1 pair drew comments from Peter Brandt and a liquidity-focused response from CZ, while Dogecoin promoted a "naughty list" campaign targeting major brands that do not accept DOGE. The broader crypto market remained thin into the year-end, leaving these narratives to test whether they persist once liquidity improves.
