📈 Gold or stocks: which is more profitable over 25 years

If you had invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 2000, you would now have $77,495.

But if you had invested the same $10,000 in gold, your capital would have grown to $126,596.

Despite crises, inflation, and wars, it is gold that preserved and multiplied capital more than 12 times.

🫠 1 Bitcoin fee

Someone wanted to transfer 1 BTC to the Kraken exchange, but ended up with 0.0001 BTC ($10) because the fee was 0.99 BTC ($105k).

Consider that you locked in a profit, just not the way you wanted 😁

🔴 Macroeconomic analysts believe that Bitcoin will "fall below $70,000" due to Japan's strict policies.
According to data published by AndrewBTC, every increase in the Bank of Japan's interest rate since 2024 has coincided with a drop in Bitcoin's price by more than 20%.

In his post on X-Stop on Saturday, the analyst highlighted a drop in BTC's exchange rate of about 23% in March 2024, 26% in July 2024, and 31% in January 2025.

It is expected that the Bank of Japan will raise its base interest rate on Friday, which is historically a negative signal for riskier assets such as Bitcoin.

🪙 Ripple Executive Explains $XRP Vision at Solana Event: Details

Ripple Global Partner Success Lead Luke Judges recently took the stage at the Solana Breakpoint event, explaining XRP's multichain vision.

In breaking news from the event, it was announced that XRP was coming to Solana, as Hex Trust and Layer Zero will bridge and issue wXRP, a 1:1-backed representation of the native XRP asset designed to support DeFi activity and cross-chain utility.

💬 "New users, new demand, and market depth. Phantom users can now access XRP, and financial primitives like prediction markets and perps can now deeply embed XRP."-@Ripple exec @luke_judges on why Solana is an exciting place to launch XRP — Solana (@solana) December 13, 2025

This move allows traders, holders and institutions to be able to utilize XRP within leading Solana DEXes, lending markets and liquidity protocols, while maintaining exposure to the underlying asset.

In addition, wXRP’s use case will expand beyond XRP Ledger and will be tradable with RLUSD on Ethereum and other chains that support RLUSD. WXRP expands XRP’s DeFi utility by making it usable on supported blockchains, starting with Solana, Optimism, Ethereum, HyperEVM and additional chains for future integration.

In today's session at the Breakpoint event, Judges puts the icing on the cake: "Phantom wallet's 20 million users can now access XRP, and perps can now deeply embed XRP."

The recent step comes in response to growing demand to use XRP across the wider crypto ecosystem and institutions.

🔸 XRP Ledger multichain vision

In a recent tweet, RippleX Head of Engineering J. Ayo Akinyele reveals his thoughts on XRP Ledger, saying that for years, his discussions with Ripple CTO David Schwartz had focused on building toward a multichain future.

According to Akinyele, the blockchain ecosystem is shifting, and it has become clear that assets and applications naturally operate across many networks. No single environment is where all activity will happen, and that is simply how crypto has evolved.

🤔 What’s the Latest on Chainlink ($LINK )? Analysis Firm Assesses the Likelihood of a Recovery

In its latest technical analysis of Chainlink (LINK), cryptocurrency analytics company MakroVision stated that the asset is seeking a recovery after a sharp correction, but a strong trend reversal has not yet been confirmed.

According to MacroVision's assessment, LINK has begun to show signs of stability for the first time after the significant pullback in recent months. The fact that the price is holding above the critical support zone, particularly in the $12.6–$12.9 range, indicates that selling pressure is weakening in the short term. Analysts also believe that candlestick patterns now point to a consolidation process rather than an aggressive decline.

However, MakroVision emphasizes that the current recovery is still technically fragile. As long as the LINK price remains below the main resistance zones, any upward attempts are likely to be limited and temporary.

The analysis highlights the $17.2 level as the upper band of the price movement. According to the company, a sustained break above this level could significantly improve the technical outlook for Chainlink and re-establish upward momentum. Such a scenario could also pave the way for a broader recovery.

In its conclusion, MacroVision stated that Chainlink is currently searching for direction.

🥇$BTC is getting cheaper relative to gold

The BTC/GOLD pair has just shown the second lowest RSI value on the 2-week chart, a situation that happens very rarely. This level means that Bitcoin is currently significantly cheaper than gold than usual, and the market is in a strong oversold zone relative to XAU.

❗️What does this mean?
Historically, such imbalances have led to reversals in favor of BTC as capital gradually flows from safe-haven assets back into risk assets. This is not a guarantee of growth, but an indicator that the room for recovery for Bitcoin is becoming significantly wider.

🐋 Shiba Inu Records 406 Whale Transactions Each Exceeding $100,000 in Value

Data from Santiment suggests heightened volatility for Shiba Inu in the coming days, following a rapid rise in whale transactions and exchange reserves.

Notably, the market intelligence platform shared this in an X post, highlighting renewed whale activity in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Specifically, large SHIB holders shifted the token at levels last seen six months ago, coinciding with an exchange reserve boost.

🔸 Whale Transaction Spike to Six-Month High

The Tuesday tweet stated that Shiba Inu recorded 406 whale transactions yesterday, each valued at over $100,000. This level of whale transaction is the highest since June 6th, indicating renewed interest in the asset.

Notably, this spike in whale activity suggests a significant shift in SHIB tokens to new locations. However, it does not explicitly identify the direction of this move. Such moves usually highlight two things: either whales are withdrawing from exchanges in large amounts to self-custody wallets, or they are moving to new addresses and exchanges.

🔸 1.06T Shiba Inu Exchange Boost Provides Perspective

Meanwhile, Santiment identified that this whale activity coincided with a staggering 1.06 trillion Shiba Inu addition to exchange reserves. The net change in the $SHIB balance suggests that the whale transactions were actually large holders moving their holdings to exchanges.

While this does not directly translate into sell-offs, it puts pressure on the Shiba Inu supply, as holders could easily exchange them for stablecoins, fiat, or other cryptocurrencies. As such, Santiment advised caution, noting that SHIB could see increased volatility in the coming days.

🔸 Shiba Inu Pumps then Drops

Remarkably, Shiba Inu has already seen notable price moves over the past 24 hours. The meme coin joined a broader rally yesterday, spurred by Bitcoin’s brief climb to $94,000.

SHIB moved from an intraday low of $0.00000842 to a high of $0.00000905, representing a 7.4% growth.

📊 Strategy asks MSCI to reject proposal excluding Bitcoin-heavy firms

Strategy has submitted a comment letter to the MSCI Equity Index Committee urging it to drop a proposal that would exclude companies with digital asset holdings accounting for 50% or more of total assets.

The letter, delivered by the company’s executive chairman, Michael Saylor, and CEO Phong LE, argues that digital asset treasury companies, or DATs, are not investment funds. They are operating businesses that actively use Bitcoin to create shareholder value.

Strategy says that it runs an enterprise analytics software business, with investors buying into its management and strategy rather than a simple Bitcoin proxy.

The company claims that implementing the proposal’s 50% threshold is discriminatory and arbitrary as it singles out digital asset businesses while leaving untouched companies in other industries with similarly concentrated holdings in oil, timber, gold, media and entertainment, and real estate.

Strategy believes such a move would disrupt market stability. The leading corporate holder of Bitcoin is urging MSCI to consider DATs as operating entities contributing to economic progression and innovation.

Moreover, the proposal is believed to conflict with US policy.

Strategy notes that President Trump signed an executive order to promote the growth of digital financial technology. The administration also formed a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and promoted the inclusion of digital assets in 401(k)s.

Analysts have estimated that Strategy could see up to $2.8 billion of its stock liquidated under MSCI’s proposal. The company was added to MSCI’s indices in May 2024 and has been included for approximately a year and a half.
