📰 What’s happening now
• Bitcoin & Ethereum keep investors watchful
Bitcoin recently slipped from a brief bounce and is now trading just above US$90,000 — struggling to break the US$92,000 resistance level amid mixed sentiment.
Markets remain cautious as broader macroeconomic uncertainty and weak ETF flows have increased pressure on crypto.
Meanwhile, Ethereum has held its ground above US$3,000 after the recent “Fusaka upgrade,” with some whales placing large bets — suggesting potential upside for altcoins.
• Signs of renewed institutional interest
A major corporate investor, MicroStrategy (or generally “Strategy” in some reports), reportedly acquired nearly 10,624 BTC recently, spending close to US$1 billion — indicating renewed institutional confidence in Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, the regulatory landscape is shifting: a crypto exchange, Binance, has become the first to secure a global license under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework — a milestone for compliance and trust in the crypto industry.
• Altcoins getting traction — with caution
One altcoin, XRP, reportedly jumped ~15.5% from recent lows, backed by $245 million in institutional investments — with technicals suggesting a potential rally toward US$2.65.
However, analysts warn that recent volatility — especially Bitcoin’s drop from its October high (~US$126,000) — shows crypto remains highly speculative, and gains may be fragile.
