There has been no outflow from Grayscale's Chainlink ETF since its launch, and net investments have reached a total of $54.69 million. The buying activity of large holders has remained consistently strong.

The price of Bitcoin could drop 15% if this important level breaks before the end of 2025 – here's why
The price of Bitcoin is once again under pressure. BTC has fallen about 4% in the last 24 hours and nearly 10% in the last 30 days as selling pressure increases in the cryptocurrency markets. Traders are contemplating between a rebound and a decline, but a critical long-term level has now emerged that could determine how Bitcoin will end the year.

Investors have long considered exchange reserves an important metric for accumulation and asset scarcity. The amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges fell to a new record low this month.

Scott Bessent criticizes congressional trading amid record bull market in the United States...
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has renewed his demands for Congress to end stock trading, emphasizing the clearly excessive returns for legislators.

The price of gold rose on Tuesday and was $4,305 per ounce — very close to October's all-time high of $4,381.
This price rally reflects a broader search for safe havens as investors navigate uncertain monetary policies and seek shelter from inflation. Markets are pricing in a 76% probability of a rate cut in January, which has increased the allure of gold as a non-yielding asset.

5 reasons why Bitcoin price fell to $85,000 and why the decline may continue
Bitcoin fell to $85,000 on December 15, continuing its recent downward spiral as global macro risks, deleveraging and thin liquidity hit simultaneously.

3 altcoins face liquidation risks during the third week of December
According to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, the sentiment in the cryptocurrency markets during the third week of December is still dominated by fear, with scores reaching extreme fear. This negative sentiment has given an advantage to short positions.

Why Embedded Trading is the New Standard: Eightcap's Patrick Murphy Explains What S...
Embedded finance has shifted from payment services to loans. Trading is the next logical step, and platforms that force users to switch between different service providers for various asset classes are losing popularity. Patrick Murphy, CEO of Eightcap UK & EU, notes that diverse availability of asset classes must be built from the ground up if platforms want to maintain user interest.
Responding to this expectation is not as simple as adding new instruments. It raises deeper questions about infrastructure. How can regulated derivatives be linked to cryptocurrencies? How do stablecoins fit into cross-border settlement in a situation where banks are still operating on old systems? And what happens when tokenized assets start to serve as collateral in both traditional finance and DeFi?

Each has its own upcoming catalyst, such as changes in supply, network events, and variations in holder behavior.
These arrangements could cause sharp movements if buyers or sellers gain control in the coming days.
Sei (SEI)
SEI has been under continuous pressure until mid-December, and the price development reflects this caution. The token's price has fallen by about 23% over the last month and more than 60% over the last three months, keeping the sentiment fragile as the markets search for direction.
