Is this move mainly spot demand, or are derivatives playing a role here?

Ethereum (ETH) Surpasses 3,200 USDT with a 2.22% Increase in 24 Hours
According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum (ETH) crossed the 3,200 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 3,202.199951 USDT, with 2.22% increase in 24 hours.
$SOL has moved back above $132, confirming a short-term momentum shift. The breakout above $130 placed Solana back into a healthier structure, with price holding above key moving averages.
As long as SOL stays above this zone, the trend remains constructive and buyers stay in control.
2026 is shaping up as a transition year. Bitcoin is increasingly treated as a strategic asset, while stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization continue to grow. At the same time, new altcoin ETFs could bring broader market participation.
The focus may slowly move away from short-term hype toward real use cases and sustainable growth.
Solana is grinding higher in a clear uptrend, showing strong and controlled bullish continuation near local highs.
Price is holding above EMA 7 / 25 / 99 on the 1H chart after a clean impulsive move from 124. Market structure remains healthy with higher highs and higher lows. Current consolidation just below 133 looks like a classic bull flag.
Bitcoin proved resilience. Ethereum is now proving scalability.
Ethereum’s daily transaction volume has reached a new all-time high, surpassing levels seen during the 2021 NFT and DeFi boom. The 7-day average recently climbed to around 1.87M transactions, well above the previous record.
More importantly, active wallets rose to ~729K, and new address creation exceeded 270K in a single day, the strongest inflow since 2018. Despite higher activity, fees remained relatively stable.
This growth is being driven by real network upgrades and institutional usage such as stablecoins, RWAs, and ETF-related flows, not speculative hype.
Ethereum continues to strengthen its role as core settlement infrastructure.
Solana is showing strength beneath the surface as 2026 begins, even while price remains below $130.
On-chain data points to whale accumulation during consolidation, a pattern often linked to long-term positioning. Network activity remains strong, with Solana recording $1.6T in DEX trading volume, ranking just behind Binance and outperforming many centralized exchanges.
However, rising NVT and falling open interest suggest short-term caution. SOL is holding near its 20-day EMA around $125, with $130 acting as the key level to watch.

While the broader market remains cautious, XRP ETFs continue to attract steady inflows.
Over just two days, spot XRP ETFs added 10.8M XRP with no recorded outflows. Total ETF holdings have now reached 756M XRP, extending a 29-day inflow streak.
Most of the demand came from Bitwise and Franklin, with Grayscale also adding exposure. In contrast, BTC and ETH ETFs experienced net outflows throughout December.
The data suggests quiet accumulation rather than speculative inflows.
Spot ETF flows on Dec. 31 (ET) showed continued pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $348M in net outflows, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also saw $72.06M in net outflows, with all nine ETFs posting zero inflows.
In contrast, Solana spot ETFs recorded $2.29M in net inflows, while XRP spot ETFs saw $5.58M in inflows.
The data shows risk still coming out of BTC and ETH ETFs, while selective interest remains in certain altcoin products.
Recent data shows more than 6 million wallets hold 500 XRP or less, while a small group of large wallets controls a big share of supply. As price rises, this gap becomes more visible.
Buying 1,000 XRP now costs much more than a year ago, which makes steady accumulation harder for retail investors. Large holders feel this far less.
Some community members say supply is not tight, pointing to roughly 16B XRP on exchanges. Others, including crypto lawyer Bill Morgan, argue XRP still mainly moves with Bitcoin’s direction, not wallet distribution.
The key takeaway: higher prices change who can accumulate, but BTC still leads the market.
Dogecoin is holding above $0.12 as the market stabilizes and Bitcoin stays above $87K. From a technical view, $1 is not impossible. DOGE already reached $0.74 in the last major cycle, showing how powerful speculation can be.
However, with more than 168B coins in circulation, reaching $1 would require massive demand and strong meme-driven momentum. Historically, DOGE performs best when Bitcoin breaks out and money flows into high-risk assets.
Conclusion: technically possible, but highly dependent on market conditions and sentiment.
$BNB is testing a key level near $860 as buying pressure continues to build. If price breaks above this range and holds on a retest, the next target zone sits around $1,000+. No rush here. Let the market confirm direction before acting. Failure at resistance would mean more range trading. #BNBChain #MacroInsights #AltcoinSeason

Bitcoin(BTC) Drops Below 88,000 USDT with a Narrowed 0.24% Increase in 24 Hours
On Dec 29, 2025, 09:48 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Bitcoin has dropped below 88,000 USDT and is now trading at 87,988.4375 USDT, with a narrowed narrowed 0.24% increase in 24 hours.
The 2026 XRP story depends on one big “if”: if $BTC reaches $250K, large-cap alts with stronger fundamentals could get a bigger rotation.
Some reports say XRP was more resilient in 2025 than the wider alt market, and they link that to growing adoption and clearer regulation. Ripple has also been building like a serious financial company, with coverage showing $2.7B+ in acquisitions aimed at payments, treasury software, and trading infrastructure.
If BTC goes parabolic in 2026, the argument is simple: money rotates into the few alts that look “institution-ready.”
BNB Chain prepares Fermi hard fork to make blocks faster
BNB Chain will activate the Fermi hard fork on Jan 14, 2026, following a successful testnet upgrade on Nov 10, 2025.
The goal is faster performance by cutting the block interval from 750 ms to 450 ms, which can improve transaction speed and overall network throughput.
If the rollout is smooth, this upgrade can support more time-sensitive apps and make the chain feel more responsive for everyday users.
PEPE has broken above its downtrend and is holding near $0.00000400. Price is now coming back to retest the breakout area around $0.00000391, which is an important level for buyers.
If PEPE holds above this zone, the bullish setup stays strong and a move toward $0.00000425 becomes more likely. If it breaks below the retest level, the breakout loses strength and price may return to consolidation.
This is a standard breakout and retest pattern, so watching the support reaction is key.
Bitcoin Stuck Under $88K as ETFs See $825M+ Outflows in 5 Days
#Bitcoin is still trading below $88K while spot BTC ETFs keep seeing outflows.
Over the last 5 trading days, ETFs recorded $825M+ in total outflows. On Dec 24, net outflows were $175.29M, and none of the ETFs had inflows. IBIT had the biggest outflow at $91.37M.
Traders are also being careful ahead of the big Deribit options expiry on Dec 26, worth about $23.6B.
BTC is still ranging between $86K and $88K. The key support level to watch is $85,200.
Do you think the outflows are mainly holiday + tax moves, or is demand truly cooling?
Gold Nears a Historic Monetary Level as #Bitcoin Tests Support
Gold, when adjusted for U.S. money supply, is challenging a level that has acted as resistance for decades. It was reached in 2011 and only decisively broken during the inflationary surge of the late 1970s.
Bitcoin, often compared to digital gold, is instead pulling back toward a defining support zone. That level coincides with both the April macro-driven selloff and the previous cycle high earlier this year.
Gold’s strength reflects rising concern around currency debasement. Bitcoin’s position reflects consolidation within its cycle, not the end of its long-term trend.
Markets are weighing the same problem through two different instruments.
