According to Paolo Ardoino, Tether introduced Scudo as an on-chain unit equal to one thousandth of an XAUT ounce of gold, defining Scudo as 0.001 troy ounce within the Tether Gold framework (source: https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/2008541912060547496; source: https://tether.io/news/tether-introduces-scudo-redefining-fractional-gold-ownership-onchain/).

For trading calculations, the specification implies 1 XAUT equals 1000 Scudo and Scudo pricing is mechanically derived from XAUT by a 1 to 1000 ratio, enabling direct conversion of XAUT price quotes into Scudo terms (source: https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/2008541912060547496; source: https://tether.io/news/tether-introduces-scudo-redefining-fractional-gold-ownership-onchain/).

According to @TATrader_Alan, Ethereum’s 3-day chart has formed a double bottom and, if confirmed, the measured move projects a $4,000 target (source: @TATrader_Alan on X, Jan 6, 2026).

According to @OnchainDataNerd citing @thepolynerd_, three newly created Polymarket accounts are alleged to be coordinating trades tied to the Infinex sale, suggesting potential insider activity. Source: @OnchainDataNerd; @thepolynerd_. According to @OnchainDataNerd citing @thepolynerd_, the sale reportedly started slowly due to strict KYC and a $2.5K per-user cap, with market expectations initially clustered in the $2–3M range. Source: @OnchainDataNerd; @thepolynerd_. According to @OnchainDataNerd citing @thepolynerd_, momentum then flipped as odds on higher targets surged, with the $5M bracket rising from about 20% to roughly 70% and large orders flowing into the $3M, $5M, and $10M milestones. Source: @OnchainDataNerd; @thepolynerd_. According to @OnchainDataNerd citing @thepolynerd_, the three flagged accounts were opened one day ago, showed similar bet ratios into the $5M committed pot, and tapered margin at higher targets to maximize profit, which the source characterizes as suspicious behavior. Source: @OnchainDataNerd; @thepolynerd_. According to @OnchainDataNerd citing @thepolynerd_, this repricing to a ~70% market-implied probability for the $5M outcome materially shifts expectations for the sale’s size and signals that traders relying on Polymarket odds should account for potential signal distortion if coordinated activity is present per the allegation.
