CFTC approves Bitcoin and Ether as derivative collateral: groundbreaking pilot program
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) introduced a digital assets pilot program on December 8. This program allows bitcoin, ether, and USDC as margin assets in derivatives markets – a step that industry leaders view as a turning point for crypto adoption.
Caroline D. Pham, the acting chair, announced the initiative along with new guidelines on tokenized collateral and the withdrawal of Staff Advisory 20-34, a guideline from 2020 that had limited the use of virtual currencies in segregated accounts.

3 crypto mining stocks that can rise even if the Bitcoin price falls
Bitcoin has not performed well over the past month and continued to decline after falling below $100,000. Crypto mining stocks also felt the pain, as their revenues are strongly tied to Bitcoin. However, some of those same stocks can still rally thanks to their involvement in artificial intelligence and other initiatives.
These three crypto mining stocks could still rise despite Bitcoin's correction. Bitcoin's future recovery is also a good catalyst for these choices.

Cardano founder says that crypto's quantum threat is overhyped
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, says that quantum threats to blockchain are currently overstated. He claims that the industry already knows how to build quantum-resistant systems, but lacks the efficiency and hardware alignment to make the switch.
In a recent podcast discussion, he described quantum as "a great distraction maneuver" and added that the real urgency will only arise when military quantum standards show credible progress.

XRP stuck between $2.00 and $2.20 as network activity hits 3-month low
XRP is once again stuck in a tight consolidation, extending a rangebound pattern that has held the altcoin for several days.
The altcoin is once again attracting the attention of traders, but this interest has not yet led to meaningful market participation or price expansion.
XRP investors are pulling back
The number of active addresses on the XRP Ledger has sharply declined to 35,931 — the lowest level in more than three months. This drop highlights the decreasing engagement of investors, as users are executing fewer transactions on the network. The inconsistency in activity reinforces the perception that XRP is struggling to generate momentum.

3 altcoins face significant liquidation risk in the second week of December
The altcoin market in December no longer shows the large losses of last month. It is now moving into a new sideways phase. Various altcoins with unique catalysts and news have led many derivative traders to take one-sided positions.
However, this week also brings a number of significant macro events. These events could expose their positions to substantial liquidation risks.
1. Zcash (ZEC)
From the all-time high of $748 set last month, ZEC has fallen by 50%. Such a deep decline often attracts investors who believe they have missed earlier opportunities. This sentiment encourages derivative traders to expect a recovery in December. As a result, the accumulated liquidation volume on the Long side has increased significantly.

The fresh capital raised the total assets under management (AuM) to $180 billion, marking a recovery of 7.9% from the lows in November. However, this is still significantly below the sector's all-time high of $264 billion.

3 altcoins to watch for the FOMC meeting in December
The upcoming U.S. FOMC meeting, scheduled for December 10, is expected to bring a 25 basis point interest rate cut. The FOMC's decision could bring the rate to 3.50% – 3.75% and could be very favorable for the crypto market.
Currently, the chance of an interest rate cut is 87.2%, while there is a 12.8% chance that there will be no interest rate cut. If the former happens, cryptocurrencies could rise because lower interest rates typically drive capital into riskier assets like crypto. However, a harsh surprise could suppress demand, especially since Bitcoin has fallen 20% in 90 days.

“Bitcoin to $170,000: Reaganomics 2.0 will propel BTC to great heights in 2026”
The Korbit Research Center in South Korea expects that the Bitcoin price will be between $140,000 and $170,000 in 2026, with U.S. fiscal reforms and structural institutional demand cited as the main catalysts.
In its fourth annual market forecast, the Korbit research team outlines a macro-driven expectation that deviates from the traditional four-year halving cycle narrative. The report states that Bitcoin's price path is less influenced by supply mechanisms and more by productivity-driven U.S. growth under what they call 'stronger Reaganomics.'
