🎄❄️🎁🏙️💸 I want to share some useful information about the current P2P activity from Gate, as not everyone may have noticed it or has heard about it earlier. At the same time, this event can be beneficial for those planning P2P transactions in the near future and want to combine activity with the opportunity to earn additional rewards.
Gate P2P announces the winter campaign "Winter Holidays: Double Carnival" with a total prize fund of $28 888. The activity period is from December 18, 2025, 14:00 to January 19, 2026, 14:00 (Kyiv time).
Within the event, two reward formats are available:
1. Basic prize fund — participation is possible after completing standard P2P tasks. Each completed action provides additional chances in the draw; higher activity increases the likelihood of receiving rewards.
2. Extended prize fund — automatic participation for users with a total net deposit via P2P exceeding 10,000 USDT during the campaign period.
Additionally, a special reward is provided: the top 5 users by P2P deposit volume during the activity period will receive an individual merch-box surprise from Gate. If physical delivery is not possible, the company reserves the right to provide an equivalent in USDT.
Please note the key participation conditions: only buy orders on P2P are considered, participation is possible after registering for the campaign, and KYC verification is mandatory. Rewards are credited after risk checks. Users from restricted regions, as well as those found to be involved in (abuse, multi-accounting, fake volume), are not allowed to participate or receive rewards.
The official announcement is available via the link on the Gate website. I recommend reviewing the terms in advance if you plan to engage in P2P transactions during the specified period.

The first big scoop of the new year is here: The public feud among NEO founders, is the decentralized project truly "decentralized"?
Just at the start of the new year, the first major incident in the crypto world is anything but peaceful.
Regarding NEO, two founders—Da Hongfei and Zhang Zhengwen (Erik Zhang)—have publicly come to the forefront over issues of foundation asset control and governance transparency.
This is not just a simple personnel dispute but a typical internal power struggle within a decentralized project.
Let's briefly review NEO.
NEO was once called the "Chinese Ethereum," one of the earliest public chain projects, adopting a dual-token model:
NEO represents governance and rights, while GAS is used to pay network fees.
In early blockchain narratives, NEO was positioned very prominently.
And this controversy is happening at its core governance level.
The crux of the conflict is actually one question: who is controlling the assets, and who is responsible for governance?
Zhang Zhengwen told PANews in an interview that he will return to the Neo mainnet and re-engage in comprehensive management, aiming to "defend the core rights of NEO/GAS holders."
At the same time, he publicly disclosed the current governance and asset structure of NEO.
According to disclosed information, the majority of NEO and GAS assets held by the Neo Foundation are on-chain and can be verified, mainly distributed across 21 initial node addresses and one multi-signature wallet, theoretically allowing real-time auditing by the global community.
But the problem arose during a previous power shift.
During Da Hongfei's request for Zhang Zhengwen to step down from foundation management, approximately 8 million NEO/GAS were transferred to multiple multi-signature addresses designated by Da Hongfei.
This move became the core point of mutual suspicion—accusations of "monopolizing financial control" and "lacking transparency."
This controversy is no longer just about NEO.
It once again highlights an age-old issue:
When a project claims to be "decentralized" but core governance and fund control remain concentrated in the hands of a few founders, where is the decentralization really reflected?
On-chain transparency does not equal governance transparency.
Having multi-signature wallets does not necessarily mean power is truly dispersed.
The power struggle among founders often reveals the most authentic power structure of a public chain.
The first big scoop of the new year may not taste good, but it is highly educational.
It reminds everyone:
In a decentralized world, technology is just the foundation;
What truly determines a project's fate is often the game of people, power, and rules.
How NEO will end remains uncertain,
but this founder dispute has already become another classic case.
On the first day of the new year,
the ideal of decentralization is once again pulled back into reality for scrutiny.

With the entry of Vanguard Group, it is foreseeable that Bitcoin will become one of the hottest assets on Wall Street.
