Recent data shows more than 6 million wallets hold 500 XRP or less, while a small group of large wallets controls a big share of supply. As price rises, this gap becomes more visible.
Buying 1,000 XRP now costs much more than a year ago, which makes steady accumulation harder for retail investors. Large holders feel this far less.
Some community members say supply is not tight, pointing to roughly 16B XRP on exchanges. Others, including crypto lawyer Bill Morgan, argue XRP still mainly moves with Bitcoin’s direction, not wallet distribution.
The key takeaway: higher prices change who can accumulate, but BTC still leads the market.
California has proposed a 5% billionaire wealth tax, and it’s raising serious concerns in the crypto industry.
The tax targets unrealized gains, including crypto holdings and startup equity that hasn’t been sold. This could pressure founders and long-term holders who have paper wealth but limited liquidity.
Many crypto leaders warn this kind of policy may push innovation outside the US, as capital and talent become more mobile.
At the same time, some firms are still expanding into the US, showing the situation is complex and still evolving.
The bigger question is whether the US can stay competitive in a global, digital economy.
Dogecoin is holding above $0.12 as the market stabilizes and Bitcoin stays above $87K. From a technical view, $1 is not impossible. DOGE already reached $0.74 in the last major cycle, showing how powerful speculation can be.
However, with more than 168B coins in circulation, reaching $1 would require massive demand and strong meme-driven momentum. Historically, DOGE performs best when Bitcoin breaks out and money flows into high-risk assets.
Conclusion: technically possible, but highly dependent on market conditions and sentiment.
$BNB testează un nivel cheie aproape de $860, pe măsură ce presiunea de cumpărare continuă să crească. Dacă prețul depășește acest interval și se menține la o retestare, următoarea zonă țintă se află în jur de $1,000+. Nu este grabă aici. Lăsați piața să confirme direcția înainte de a acționa. O eșec la rezistență ar însemna mai mult trading în interval. #BNBChain #MacroInsights #AltcoinSeason
The 2026 XRP story depends on one big “if”: if $BTC reaches $250K, large-cap alts with stronger fundamentals could get a bigger rotation.
Some reports say XRP was more resilient in 2025 than the wider alt market, and they link that to growing adoption and clearer regulation. Ripple has also been building like a serious financial company, with coverage showing $2.7B+ in acquisitions aimed at payments, treasury software, and trading infrastructure.
If BTC goes parabolic in 2026, the argument is simple: money rotates into the few alts that look “institution-ready.”
The 2025 revenue leaderboard is a strong reality check.
Solana leads all chains by a wide margin at about $1.3B in revenue, while Hyperliquid comes in second at around $816M. It shows the dominance game is shifting toward chains that generate consistent fees from real usage, especially trading activity, instead of relying only on TVL and narratives.
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 has broken above its downtrend and is holding near $0.00000400. Price is now coming back to retest the breakout area around $0.00000391, which is an important level for buyers.
If PEPE holds above this zone, the bullish setup stays strong and a move toward $0.00000425 becomes more likely. If it breaks below the retest level, the breakout loses strength and price may return to consolidation.
This is a standard breakout and retest pattern, so watching the support reaction is key.
Bitcoin rămâne în interval deoarece nu poate recâștiga 90.000 $. Acea zonă continuă să respingă prețul și este consolidată de semnale tehnice puternice, cum ar fi zona principală de preț (POC) și nivelul Fibonacci de 0,618.
BTC se tranzacționează în continuare în intervalul superior de 97.500 $ până la 80.500 $, iar în prezent se află aproape de mijloc, în jurul valorii de 87.000 $, ceea ce de obicei înseamnă mișcare lentă și volatilitate scăzută.
Suportul la 85.500 $ este linia principală. Dacă se menține, acțiunea laterală este probabilă. Dacă se sparge la închidere, prețul poate deriva către 80.500 $. #btc #bitcoin
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? #btc #bitcoin
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.
Aurul se apropie de un nivel monetar istoric pe măsură ce #Bitcoin testează suportul
Aurul, atunci când este ajustat pentru oferta de bani din SUA, contestă un nivel care a acționat ca o rezistență timp de decenii. A fost atins în 2011 și a fost spart decisiv doar în timpul creșterii inflaționiste de la sfârșitul anilor 1970.
Bitcoin, adesea comparat cu aurul digital, se retrage în schimb spre o zonă de suport definitorie. Acest nivel coincide atât cu vânzarea macro-driven din aprilie, cât și cu maximul anterior al ciclului de la începutul acestui an.
Puterea aurului reflectă îngrijorarea crescută în jurul devalorizării monedei. Poziția Bitcoin reflectă consolidarea în cadrul ciclului său, nu sfârșitul tendinței sale pe termen lung.
Trump Media Gestionează Activ Rezervelor Sale de Bitcoin
Trump Media a mutat aproximativ 174 milioane de dolari în bitcoin între portofele la o zi după ce a adăugat mai mult BTC în soldul său. O mică porțiune a fost trimisă la Coinbase Prime Custody, în timp ce cea mai mare parte a rămas sub controlul aceleași entități.
Acest tip de mișcare reflectă de obicei operațiuni de trezorerie, nu vânzări. Produsele de custodie sunt concepute pentru stocare pe termen lung, nu pentru tranzacționare imediată.
Prețul bitcoin-ului a rămas constant în ciuda transferului, sugerând că piața l-a perceput ca fiind neutru.
Punctul cheie este gestionarea de tip instituțional a bitcoin-ului, nu comportamentul speculativ. #btc #bitcoin
