The 2025 revenue leaderboard is a strong reality check.
Solana leads all chains by a wide margin at about $1.3B in revenue, while Hyperliquid comes in second at around $816M. It shows the dominance game is shifting toward chains that generate consistent fees from real usage, especially trading activity, instead of relying only on TVL and narratives.
US spot ETF flows (26-12-2025) were negative again.
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw -$275.88M in net outflows. Ethereum spot ETFs saw -$38.70M out. All the other listed ETFs showed zero flow. Total net flow was -$314.58M.
Big detail: the BTC outflow alone is roughly equal to about 7 days of mined BTC supply in one day. ETF flows can move faster than daily issuance, which is why they matter so much for short-term price action.
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.
Bitcoin remains range-bound because it cannot reclaim $90,000. That zone keeps rejecting price, and it is reinforced by strong technical signals like the main price area (POC) and the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
BTC is still trading inside the higher range of $97,500 to $80,500, and it is currently near the middle around $87,000, which usually means slow movement and low volatility.
Support at $85,500 is the main line. If it holds, sideways action is likely. If it breaks on a close, price can drift toward $80,500.
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.
Trump Media Actively Managing Its Bitcoin Reserves
Trump Media moved about $174M in bitcoin across wallets a day after adding more BTC to its balance. A small portion was sent to Coinbase Prime Custody, while most remained under the same entity’s control.
This type of movement usually reflects treasury operations, not selling. Custody products are designed for long-term storage, not immediate trading.
Bitcoin’s price stayed flat despite the transfer, suggesting the market viewed it as neutral.
The key takeaway is institutional-style management of bitcoin, not speculative behavior.
Bitcoin’s $70K–$80K range is one of its weakest historical zones.
BTC spent very little time there over the past five years, which means fewer positions were built and less structural support exists. Glassnode data confirms low supply concentration in the same range.
If price pulls back, this zone may require consolidation before acting as a true floor.
Bitcoin holding between $85,000 and $90,000 for most of December has less to do with sentiment and more to do with derivatives structure.
Heavy options exposure near spot forced market makers to hedge aggressively, buying dips and selling rallies. This behavior suppressed volatility and locked price into a narrow corridor, even as macro conditions improved and risk assets moved higher.
That dynamic changes as year-end options expire. With roughly $27B in open interest rolling off and a strong call bias still in place, the hedging pressure that pinned price fades quickly.
Implied volatility remains near monthly lows, suggesting the market is underpricing movement just as structural constraints are removed.
When positioning dominates price for weeks, the resolution often comes fast once those constraints disappear.
The divergence between spot and paper markets is wild right now. Do you think the real supply is finally starting to dry up?

🔥 $BROCCOLI714 Current Trend Consolidating with Bearish Bias
Hey guys, been watching BROCCOLI714.l closely today. Price is stuck in this tight range, but the vibe feels bearish to me right now.
*Quick volume check: Those recent red candles? Volume is drying up hard on the sell-offs. Latest one barely hit 222k vs the usual 180M average. Looks like sellers are running out of steam – classic exhaustion signal.
**Capital flow divergence: Super interesting – contract outflows are strong (-302k USDT in 24h), but spot inflows are positive (+7.5k USDT). This mismatch often hints at a reversal coming, especially when shorts get squeezed.
**My take $BROCCOLI714 : Cautious long setup for a quick scalp. - **Entry**: Wait for a bounce near the lower Bollinger Band (around 0.01100m–0.0112 USDT). Confirm with 1H close above MA5 + volume pickup. - **Stop Loss**: ~0.01050 USDT) - **Target**: Middle Bollinger + R1 resistance at 0.0128 USDT.

Why Markets Are Choosing Gold and Copper Over Bitcoin in 2025
This year’s market behavior tells a clear story. Investors are prioritizing assets they can touch, store, and rely on when confidence in financial systems weakens or when growth demands real infrastructure.
Gold has surged as fears around fiscal sustainability, currency debasement, and political instability intensify. Copper has followed, driven by the AI boom, electrification, and global infrastructure build-out. Both assets represent tangibility in a world questioning paper promises.
Bitcoin, despite being positioned as both digital gold and high-end tech, has not captured either flow. Institutions have largely priced in ETFs and regulatory clarity, while sovereigns continue to favor gold as their hedge of choice.
This divergence does not necessarily mean Bitcoin has lost relevance. Historically, gold tends to lead during periods of monetary stress, with Bitcoin reacting later and often with greater volatility.
The current market is not rejecting crypto. It is demanding proof, patience, and timing.
🚨 $BTC Regime Score is flashing an early signal most traders miss… Bull/Bear structure is compressing Regime score hovering near the critical equilibrium zone (~16%) This zone historically marks transitions, not trends
When the score stays below zero → distribution & downside volatility Sustained break above the regime baseline → trend expansion & momentum return
Right now, $BTC is NOT trending it’s coiling The longer the compression, the stronger the next impulse Smart money doesn’t chase candles. They position before the regime flips. #BTC Price Analysis# #OnChainAnalysis #MarketRegime
