Bitcoin is once again trading near the upper Bear Band, a level that has historically appeared late in market cycles.
While price remains above long-term trend support, momentum is starting to flatten. In previous cycles, similar conditions often resulted in a prolonged distribution phase rather than immediate continuation.
If the market follows historical patterns, potential mean-reversion zones may appear around $62K, $43K, and $27K.
This does not imply an immediate crash. Instead, it suggests compressed risk, where upside becomes harder and downside sensitivity increases.
According to Token Terminal, developers deployed 8.7 million new smart contracts, the highest quarterly total in the network’s history. This marks a strong recovery after weaker activity in the previous two quarters.
The growth was driven by stablecoin usage, real-world asset tokenization, and infrastructure development. Contract deployment often acts as a leading indicator, appearing before increases in users, transactions, and network fees.
Ethereum is increasingly positioning itself as a global settlement layer for on-chain finance.
BlackRock a transferat o sumă mare de crypto pe măsură ce ieșirile ETF-urilor au continuat până la sfârșitul anului.
Datele on-chain arată că 2.201 BTC și 7.557 ETH au fost trimise către Coinbase Prime, în valoare de peste 214 milioane de dolari la acel moment. Mișcarea a avut loc în timp ce ETF-urile Bitcoin au înregistrat -275,9 milioane de dolari în ieșiri nette pe 26 decembrie, cu IBIT-ul BlackRock reprezentând cea mai mare parte a presiunii. ETF-urile Ethereum au văzut, de asemenea, ieșiri nete.
Privind în ansamblu, ETP-urile crypto au înregistrat acum aproximativ 3,2 miliarde de dolari în ieșiri de la corecția din octombrie.
Aceasta nu confirmă o vânzare agresivă, dar transferurile mari instituționale în timpul ieșirilor persistente indică de obicei o poziție mai prudentă.
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.
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 is testing a key level near $860 as buying pressure continues to build. If price breaks above this range and holds on a retest, the next target zone sits around $1,000+. No rush here. Let the market confirm direction before acting. Failure at resistance would mean more range trading. #BNBChain #MacroInsights #AltcoinSeason
🇺🇸 Eric Trump says we could see a shift where money moves out of gold and into Bitcoin. He called BTC “the greatest asset” he’s ever seen, pointing to Bitcoin as “digital gold” for a more connected world. #BTC #Bitcoin
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.

@Binance BiBi Mulțumesc pentru verificare 🙏 Acesta este un repo pe termen scurt al Fed (~2,5 miliarde USD), așa că este doar o lichiditate temporară, nu un QE complet. Poate susține temporar activele riscante precum criptomonedele și metalele.

BNB Chain se pregătește pentru fork-ul hard Fermi, o actualizare majoră concepută pentru a face rețeaua mai rapidă și mai fluidă pentru utilizatori. BNB Chain este programat să activeze fork-ul hard Fermi pe 14 ianuarie 2026, după o actualizare de testnet reușită pe 10 noiembrie 2025. Această actualizare reduce intervalul de bloc de la 750 ms la 450 ms, ceea ce ajută la creșterea vitezei de tranzacție și a capacității generale a rețelei. Dacă desfășurarea decurge fără probleme, Fermi poate susține aplicații mai sensibile la timp, cum ar fi tranzacționarea, DeFi și jocurile, făcând lanțul să se simtă mai receptiv pentru utilizatorii de zi cu zi. Pentru a observa: orice creștere susținută a activității pe lanț a BNB și a taxelor după fork ar putea semnala o cerere mai puternică pentru rețea în lunile următoare. #MacroInsights #BNBChain # FermiUpgrade #CMCQuests #EarnRewards
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 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.
