Crypto Market Update 2026 More than $250B has already flowed into crypto this year, led mainly by $BTC and $ETH.
If total market cap manages to break above $3.5T before the end of January, it could open the door for a strong altcoin season, as capital rotates beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

El tablero de líderes de ingresos de 2025 es un fuerte recordatorio de la realidad.
Solana lidera todas las cadenas con un amplio margen de aproximadamente $1.3B en ingresos, mientras que Hyperliquid ocupa el segundo lugar con alrededor de $816M. Muestra que el juego de dominación está cambiando hacia cadenas que generan tarifas consistentes de un uso real, especialmente la actividad de trading, en lugar de depender solo de TVL y narrativas.
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.
As $BTC continues to trade as a macro asset, large Ethereum holders are quietly shifting strategy. BitMNR, the world’s largest Ethereum treasury firm, has officially entered ETH staking - marking a major change in how corporate treasuries manage long-term crypto holdings.
Key Points:
- BitMNR deposited around 74,880 $ETH into Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system, worth nearly $219 million, according to on-chain data shared by Arkham Intelligence.
- This is the first time the firm has staked any of its Ethereum. Until now, BitMNR kept its massive ETH reserves untouched, relying purely on price appreciation.
- On-chain data shows BitMNR holds about 4.06 million ETH, valued near $11.9 billion - roughly 3.37% of Ethereum’s total supply.
With current staking yields around 3.1%, staking its full balance could generate over 126,000 ETH annually, translating into hundreds of millions in potential yield at current prices.
📌 The move signals a broader shift: large holders are no longer just betting on price. They’re starting to treat Ethereum as a yield-generating financial asset - not just a speculative one.

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 ha roto por encima de su tendencia a la baja y se mantiene cerca de $0.00000400. El precio ahora está volviendo a probar el área de ruptura alrededor de $0.00000391, que es un nivel importante para los compradores.
Si PEPE se mantiene por encima de esta zona, la configuración alcista se mantiene fuerte y un movimiento hacia $0.00000425 se vuelve más probable. Si rompe por debajo del nivel de re-prueba, la ruptura pierde fuerza y el precio puede volver a la consolidación.
Este es un patrón estándar de ruptura y re-prueba, por lo que observar la reacción del soporte es clave.
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?
Market estimates show the sector expanding from $149B in 2024 to over $4.4T by 2034. These platforms run banking operations directly on blockchains instead of using old banking rails.
This allows instant global payments, transparent records, and constant availability without banking hours or borders.
As more services move on-chain, neobanks could expand beyond payments into savings, asset management, and global money movement.
El oro se acerca a un nivel monetario histórico mientras #Bitcoin prueba soporte
El oro, cuando se ajusta a la oferta monetaria de EE.UU., está desafiando un nivel que ha actuado como resistencia durante décadas. Se alcanzó en 2011 y solo se rompió de manera decisiva durante el aumento inflacionario de finales de la década de 1970.
Bitcoin, a menudo comparado con el oro digital, en cambio, está retrocediendo hacia una zona de soporte definitoria. Ese nivel coincide tanto con la venta masiva impulsada por factores macro en abril como con el máximo del ciclo anterior a principios de este año.
La fortaleza del oro refleja una creciente preocupación por la devaluación de la moneda. La posición de Bitcoin refleja la consolidación dentro de su ciclo, no el final de su tendencia a largo plazo.
Los mercados están sopesando el mismo problema a través de dos instrumentos diferentes.
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.
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.
