Binance Market Update: December 18, 2025

​The crypto market is navigating a phase of cautious volatility today. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently consolidating near the $86,000 mark, facing year-end profit-taking pressure despite a recent presidential pardon for Changpeng Zhao (CZ) boosting long-term sentiment. BNB has seen a slight pullback, trading around $839, down approximately 2.9% over the last 24 hours.

​Key Highlights:

​Regulatory Shifts: Binance is reportedly exploring a reduction in CZ’s majority stake to clear hurdles for further U.S. expansion.

​New Listings: Trading recently opened for DOGE/USD1 and XRP/USD1 spot pairs, accompanied by zero-fee promotions for VIP users.

​Festive Rewards: The "#MerryBinance" calendar is live, offering a share of $1.8M in rewards through various staking and trading tasks.

​Stay alert to funding rates, as current bearish signals suggest potential short-term liquidations.
