Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange, is partnering with Deutsche Börse, a large German stock exchange operator. This collaboration aims to create a regulated trading environment for institutional and professional investors in Europe. The goal is to expand crypto trading opportunities within Europe and position the region as a competitor to Wall Street in the digital asset space. This partnership will offer access to crypto trading to a wider range of investors in a regulated and secure manner.

Ethereum's market sentiment is currently balanced, according to its Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric, which sits around 0.22. This indicates that investors are moderately in profit, showing neither extreme optimism nor significant loss. While profits have decreased since earlier in the year, the NUPL remains above negative territory, suggesting investors are unlikely to panic sell. This stability follows the successful Fusaka network upgrade, designed to enhance the Ethereum network and reduce costs, which coincided with increased network activity. Ethereum's price is around $3,200, up approximately 4.6% in the last 24 hours and nearly 6% over the past week. However, it is still approximately 35% below its all-time high and down about 4.5% for the year.

Dogecoin is currently trading around $0.1494 and is in what analysts are calling a "prime accumulation zone," meaning it's at a price where long-term buyers are likely to purchase it. Recently, large investors, referred to as whales, have bought over 500 million DOGE, worth about $80 million, suggesting they believe the price will increase. Analysts point to key price ranges of $0.13-$0.09 and $0.08-$0.05 as areas where buying activity is expected. If Dogecoin maintains its position within these zones, some analysts project potential future price targets of $0.50, $1, and $2 based on previous market cycles. Other analysts project the price to reach $0.70-$0.75 in the next market cycle.

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has secured partnerships with CNBC and CNN, integrating its real-time prediction data into their news coverage. This follows a $1 billion funding round, led by Paradigm, which doubled Kalshi's valuation to $11 billion. CNBC will feature Kalshi's data on its television and digital platforms starting in 2026, while CNN will use Kalshi's data in its on-air reporting. The funding will be used to expand Kalshi's user base and market offerings. Kalshi's trading volume has surged, with over $1 billion in weekly volume and $4.54 billion in November 2025, making it the dominant player in the US prediction market space with a 62% market share. Sports betting accounts for approximately 90% of its recent trading volume. Other platforms like Google Finance are also integrating prediction market data, and financial institutions like Galaxy Digital are considering becoming liquidity providers. The National Hockey League has also partnered with Kalshi for official data integration.

Robinhood's stock price increased by over 6% to around $133.64, with trading volume of 28.94 million shares and a market capitalization of $120.17 billion. Ark Invest recently purchased approximately $245,000 worth of Robinhood shares for its Ark Next Generation Internet ETF. This positive stock movement occurred despite Connecticut issuing a Cease and Desist order to Robinhood Derivatives, along with KalshiEX LLC and Crypto.com, for offering unlicensed sports event contracts. Connecticut regulators stated these companies lacked the necessary approvals for sports wagering and that their contracts didn't meet state regulations, potentially affecting individuals under 21 or on a self-exclusion list. Separately, Robinhood clarified that it is a financial technology firm, not a bank, and that banking services are provided through its partner, Coastal Community Bank, which is FDIC-insured.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that it will allow spot cryptocurrency trading on federally regulated U.S. exchanges for the first time. This decision permits exchanges registered with the CFTC to list spot crypto products, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, under existing regulatory authority. This move aims to provide U.S. investors access to safer, regulated trading venues, addressing previous concerns about unregulated offshore platforms. Several major platforms like CME Group and Coinbase Derivatives have already engaged in discussions with the CFTC regarding launching products under the new framework. The CFTC is also expanding its oversight through initiatives like the Crypto Sprint program, covering areas such as tokenized collateral and stablecoins.

Cardano's price is currently around $0.45, testing a long-term price pattern that could lead to a significant price move. This pattern, a multi-year descending wedge, has been forming since 2021. Technical indicators, like the SuperTrend indicator and RSI, are showing potential buy signals, suggesting a possible shift in momentum after a period of decline. Trading volume has also increased, indicating renewed interest from buyers. However, Cardano remains below key moving averages, and resistance is expected around $0.50. If Cardano holds above $0.43-$0.45, it could potentially move towards $0.60-$0.75. Conversely, falling below $0.43 could lead to a drop towards $0.32-$0.40.

Cardano's ADA token is trading around $0.44 as it prepares for the launch of its Midnight sidechain on December 8. The Midnight upgrade aims to improve privacy, scalability, and flexibility for developers. The Midnight Foundation also launched NIGHT, its native token. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes Midnight will help Cardano's stablecoin ecosystem and DeFi development. ADA had dropped nearly 20% in the past month before recovering 13% as the Midnight launch approaches. Analysts suggest a potential rise to $0.50 and possibly higher to $0.72 or $1 if ADA breaks through resistance. Currently, ADA's market capitalization is $15.78 billion.

Consumer Reports' latest rankings show Tesla jumping to 9th place in reliability out of 26 brands, a significant improvement from 17th last year and 27th in 2022. The improvement is attributed to Tesla maintaining consistent vehicle designs over time, allowing for refinement and increased reliability in models like the Model S. However, the newer Cybertruck model received below-average reliability scores. Tesla also moved up to 10th place out of 31 brands in Consumer Reports' overall automotive report card, which factors in road testing, safety, and customer satisfaction. Rivian's reliability remains low, despite high customer satisfaction among its owners. Lincoln saw the biggest improvement, jumping 17 places to No. 7, while Audi fell 10 spots. Hybrids generally showed strong reliability compared to electric and internal combustion engine cars. Subaru, BMW, Porsche, Honda, and Toyota topped the overall brand rankings.

An analyst suggests Bitcoin's price might fluctuate below $95,000 for the remainder of the year. This potential stagnation in Bitcoin's price could lead to a more favorable environment for alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins), possibly allowing them to increase in value.

Ethereum recently completed its Fusaka upgrade, improving its ability to handle more transactions by restructuring data confirmation. This builds upon previous upgrades aimed at lowering fees for Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism. While Fusaka is a step towards long-term scaling, further developments are needed to fully realize the intended system. The next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, is planned for 2026. It focuses on ensuring the network can manage the increased operational load from Fusaka by changing how blocks are constructed and reducing reliance on a few dominant block builders. Glamsterdam will implement enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access lists to improve market efficiency and performance. Future upgrades include the Verge, which aims to reduce storage requirements for nodes using Verkle trees, and the Purge, which will remove old data to make the protocol lighter. The Splurge will refine the user and developer experience. These upgrades are designed to position Ethereum as a global settlement layer capable of handling millions of transactions per second while remaining secure and decentralized. Joseph Lubin, an Ethereum co-founder, highlighted Ethereum's nearly decade-long operation and its role in settling over $25 trillion in value last year, emphasizing its potential to underpin the world economy.

A new bridge connecting the Base and Solana blockchains is now live, allowing users to move assets like SOL and SPL tokens between the two networks. This bridge is secured by Chainlink CCIP and Coinbase infrastructure. Users can now deposit Solana-based assets directly into Base applications for trading and interaction. Developers can now support native Solana assets within their applications on Base without complicated workarounds. Several applications are already integrating support for this new bridge, aiming to increase cross-chain activity. The bridge's framework is open-source, and future integrations with other blockchains are planned, paving the way for capital to flow freely between different ecosystems.

Arbitrum (ARB) is currently trading around $0.22 after a significant drop from its peak in 2024. Despite the overall bearish trend, analysts are seeing potential for stabilization in the medium term due to positive developments. ArbitrumDAO generated $4.5 million in revenue in October, driven by transaction fees and increased activity, indicating a healthy ecosystem despite the token's price decline. Technically, ARB is reacting from the lower boundary of a long-term descending channel, a zone that has previously led to rallies. If this support holds, ARB could potentially move towards $0.26, $0.30, and $0.35. Intraday charts show signs of re-accumulation, with ARB reclaiming a prior breakdown region as support. The next target is around $0.28-$0.30. A break above $0.30 could lead to further recovery towards $0.35, $0.62, and even $0.80. However, failure to hold the current support could result in a slide back to $0.17-$0.18, with further downside risk to $0.12-$0.14.

Bitcoin is currently trading above $92,000, maintaining its position from the previous day after a period of heavy selling. While the Crypto Fear and Greed Index suggests reduced tension, it remains uncertain whether this stability signals a market reversal or just a temporary pause. Key indicators for a durable shift include stronger order-book depth during and after the U.S. trading session, stable funding rates in derivatives markets, and a futures basis moving towards neutral. Consistent net inflows into spot Bitcoin products and increasing stablecoin issuance would also signal fresh capital entering the market. Policy decisions, dollar strength, and central bank announcements continue to influence overall risk appetite. For a confirmed end to the bearish trend, the market needs to demonstrate improved order-book depth, steady funding and basis, consistent spot-ETF inflows, and rising stablecoin supply. Without these factors, Bitcoin remains vulnerable to negative news and potential price drops.

Solana's price is recovering, exceeding $140 after a recent drop, fueled by increased market activity and positive news. Revolut, a major European financial app with over 65 million users, is now supporting Solana payments, transfers, and staking, which is seen as a positive sign for Solana's wider adoption. Additionally, around $60 million in short positions betting against Solana were eliminated as the price rose. Currently, Solana faces resistance between $142 and $150, and breaking above this range could lead to further price increases, potentially towards $159 and higher. However, failure to break this resistance could cause the price to fall back to the $130-$135 range. The near-term outlook is cautiously optimistic as long as Solana stays above $138-$140. Solana needs to break through the $146 to $150 resistance to potentially reach $159 and then $171, with $200 becoming a realistic future goal.

21Shares has launched the first 2x Leveraged SUI ETF (TXXS) on the Nasdaq after receiving approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This ETF aims to provide twice the daily performance of the Sui (SUI) token, a cryptocurrency project, while operating under U.S. securities regulations. It gives investors a way to gain exposure to SUI's price movements without directly owning the token. The SEC is also reviewing 21Shares' application for a spot SUI ETF. The launch coincides with Sui gaining institutional attention due to its scalability and use cases in finance and gaming. Sui's network has seen significant growth, ranking 12th in assets deployed with over $990 million. Daily transactions on the Sui Network have increased by 28.2% in the last three months.

On December 2, 2025, the UK officially granted Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies full legal asset status through the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025. This new law classifies digital assets as a distinct form of personal property in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, giving crypto owners stronger legal rights in court. This act provides a clearer legal framework for owning Bitcoin, stablecoins, and other tokenized assets, which helps in cases of theft, loss, bankruptcy, and estate settlements. While the act clarifies ownership, it doesn't create new rules for exchanges, taxes, or mandatory acceptance of crypto in shops; these aspects will continue to be governed by regulators and tax authorities. The law mainly establishes a foundational legal recognition of crypto as property, allowing further regulations to be built upon it.

XRP has recovered to the $2.10 level, indicating renewed market confidence. A report from CryptoQuant shows a significant surge in XRP Ledger Velocity, reaching a yearly high of 0.0324 on December 2. This velocity measures how frequently XRP is moving across the network, reflecting increased economic activity, liquidity, and transaction demand. The surge suggests XRP is circulating more rapidly among users, indicating heightened engagement from traders, active holders, and potentially large investors. Despite this increased activity, XRP faces resistance between $2.15 and $2.20, with the price trading below major moving averages. Support remains stable around $2.00-$2.05.

The cryptocurrency FLOKI experienced a sharp price drop to $0.000043 due to the forced selling of leveraged positions, but has since rebounded. It's currently trading around $0.0000498, showing signs of stability and renewed buyer interest. Trading activity has picked up, with a market capitalization of $485.82 million and $50.22 million in trading volume over the last 24 hours. While the overall trend shows some weakness, indicators suggest that the downward momentum is slowing and a local price bottom might be forming. The amount of open positions in the market initially collapsed, but has recovered to 2.32M suggesting the market is not overheated.

Pump.fun's native token, PUMP, is showing potential signs of recovery after a three-week decline. On-chain data indicates investor sentiment may be shifting, with the token registering its first inflows in over three weeks, suggesting accumulation at lower prices. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) highlights this shift, while the Squeeze Momentum Indicator suggests a tightening volatility phase that could precede a breakout. PUMP is currently trading around $0.003209, facing resistance at $0.003409. A break above this resistance could lead to targets of $0.003757 and potentially $0.004015. However, failure to break through could result in a drop to $0.002783, invalidating the bullish outlook.

Citadel Securities has urged the SEC to regulate decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and tokenized U.S. stocks similarly to traditional exchanges and brokerages. In a letter to the SEC, Citadel acknowledged that tokenized stocks could improve trading speed, settlement processes, and investor choice. However, they emphasized the need for these advancements to be accompanied by equivalent investor protections to maintain market fairness and safety. Citadel argues that tokenized securities should thrive based on their inherent value, not through regulatory exceptions, and supports SEC initiatives that foster innovation in digital finance while safeguarding investor interests.

Meta's stock price increased by over 5% following internal discussions about reducing the metaverse budget by up to 30%. This decision came about during budget talks where Mark Zuckerberg requested company-wide cost reductions, with the metaverse team facing the most significant cuts. The reduction in funding will primarily affect Horizon Worlds and the Quest VR unit. Meta intends to redirect these savings toward AI hardware projects, including smart glasses and wearables. This shift in focus comes after Reality Labs, which includes the metaverse team, has lost over $70 billion since 2021. In addition, the European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta's WhatsApp AI access policy. The policy restricts companies from using a business tool within WhatsApp if AI is the primary service they offer, raising concerns about potential abuse of market power.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink revealed that sovereign wealth funds are steadily accumulating Bitcoin, viewing it as a long-term reserve asset rather than a short-term investment. These funds have been purchasing Bitcoin at various price points, including $120,000, $100,000, and even in the $80,000 range. This accumulation suggests a shift in institutional perception, with Bitcoin increasingly seen as a macro hedge against global economic uncertainties like rising debt and currency pressures. Reports indicate that multiple sovereign wealth funds are strategically increasing their Bitcoin reserves during market volatility, positioning themselves for Bitcoin's potential long-term role in global reserves.

The article discusses whether Solana (SOL) can reach a price of $200 by the end of 2025. The analysis and price predictions by experts are mentioned. The article focuses on Solana's potential for growth and factors that could influence its price movement over the next couple of years.

XRP is showing technical patterns similar to those seen before its 2017 price surge, leading some analysts to believe it could repeat that performance. These patterns include a double top followed by a wick drop, and a reset of the Stochastic RSI indicator to levels seen before the 2017 rally. Furthermore, a bullish MACD crossover may be forming, which also preceded a significant price increase in 2024. XRP is currently trading around $2.15 with a market cap of approximately $129 billion. Analysts are watching the $2.28 resistance level, as a break above this could push the price towards $2.75, and potentially to a major liquidity zone above $3. Spot XRP ETFs are also on a 13-day positive streak since their introduction in mid-November and outperforming BTC, ETH, and SOL counterparties since their inception.

Russia plans to prioritize creating laws for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins in 2026. A key focus will be on regulating digital financial assets, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and stablecoins like Tether. Currently, these digital assets operate in a largely unregulated space, although cryptocurrency mining has seen some regulation. The government also intends to treat debt-based digital financial assets like traditional bonds for tax purposes to encourage market growth. In addition to crypto regulations, Russia's central bank is considering classifying stablecoins as a separate category. The central bank is also planning to expand access to crypto trading beyond a select group of investors and allow banks to work with digital coins. The digital ruble, Russia's central bank digital currency, is scheduled for wider implementation starting September 1.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes 2026 could be a very good year for the cryptocurrency XRP, due to increased interest from big financial institutions like BlackRock and Vanguard. He pointed to the US regulatory climate becoming more favorable toward crypto as a key factor. XRP is currently trading around $2.15-$2.20, and analysts suggest that if it breaks above $2.28, it could potentially reach $2.75. Newly launched XRP ETFs have seen inflows of approximately $750-800 million. The company has been actively building its infrastructure to support institutional adoption of XRP through partnerships and new products. However, some experts warn that XRP faces competition from other payment systems, and failure to maintain support around $2.15-$2.20 could limit its upward movement. The price action in early 2026 will be very important to watch.

XRP has recovered by 12% after briefly falling below $2, currently trading around $2.15. This rebound is supported by increased activity on the XRP ledger, including a surge in how often XRP is being moved and consistent activity from large investors. The amount of XRP held on exchanges has dropped to levels not seen since 2018, suggesting that people are accumulating XRP and reducing the potential for selling pressure. Analysts are watching the $2.15 level as a crucial support point. If XRP can maintain this level, it could lead to further price increases, with potential targets around $2.30, $2.45, and $2.50.

WhiteBIT, identified as the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Europe based on traffic, has expanded into the United States market with the launch of WhiteBIT US. This new entity will operate independently to comply with U.S. regulations and cater to institutional investors. This expansion marks a significant step in WhiteBIT's global strategy to establish compliant and secure digital asset infrastructure in major international markets.

Litecoin is showing signs of potential upward movement, currently trading around $88.83 as of December 4, 2025. It faces a significant hurdle at the $98 price level, where a large number of sell orders are concentrated. Analysts are watching to see if Litecoin can break through this resistance, supported by recent price stability above $80 and increased trading volume. Technical indicators suggest possible strengthening buyer interest, but caution is advised due to mixed long-term sentiment and dependence on Bitcoin's performance. Some analysts predict a longer term rise but the new Litecoin ETF has zero inflow. The market is closely watching whether Litecoin can maintain its momentum above key moving averages and test the $98-$100 range.

Bitcoin's price is showing signs of a potential turnaround, possibly heading towards new highs. The shift is driven by renewed interest from U.S. investors and institutions, specifically observed through derivatives trading activity. A key indicator is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which measures the price difference between Coinbase Pro (used by institutions) and Binance. This gap, along with Bitcoin ETF netflows, initially showed decreased institutional activity when Bitcoin fell from approximately $113,000 to $80,000. However, recent data indicates that the Coinbase Premium Gap has improved and ETF netflows are moving back towards positive territory. This suggests a potential resurgence in demand, and if this trend continues, Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high.

Dogecoin's price is currently in a tight trading range, suggesting a big move could be coming. Recent price increases were fueled by a large increase in trading volume and the introduction of new Dogecoin investment products called ETFs, which have attracted nearly $2.9 million in investment. Technical charts show a pattern that could lead to a breakout towards $0.18-$0.20 if the price breaks above $0.165. While institutional investors are being cautious, retail traders are actively participating, keeping Dogecoin in an upward trend as long as it stays above $0.1470. Some analysts predict a possible rise to $0.42 in the coming months, with more optimistic scenarios suggesting a return to $1. Key price levels to watch are $0.1470 and $0.1500, as a drop below these could lead to a price decrease.

Coinbase and Chainlink are collaborating to create a bridge between the Base blockchain and the Solana blockchain. This new bridge will allow users to transfer assets and data between these two different blockchain ecosystems. The initiative aims to improve interoperability within the crypto space, allowing for smoother interaction between the Coinbase-backed Base network and the Solana network.

The article discusses the possibility of XRP reaching a price of $10, a prediction made by some XRP community members. A prominent supporter of XRP is mentioned, implying they share this optimistic outlook. The article centers around the potential future price appreciation of XRP, without providing specific details on current price or market movements.

XRP spot ETFs have experienced 13 consecutive days of inflows, with $50.27 million added on December 3rd. Cumulative inflows have reached $874.28 million, bringing total net assets to $906.46 million. All four XRP ETFs, including Franklin's XRPZ, have recorded gains. While XRP ETF prices declined between 3.09% and 3.76% due to broader crypto market softening, inflows have continued. Since November 20th, over $380 million in new inflows have been added. The ETFs are less than $94 million away from reaching $1 billion in assets, a milestone potentially achievable this week. This level of adoption would put XRP ETFs on par with early Ethereum ETF inflows, suggesting growing institutional interest in non-Bitcoin crypto assets. Persistent inflows indicate growing investor conviction, with ETFs potentially serving as the primary means of XRP exposure.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink revealed that sovereign wealth funds are incrementally purchasing Bitcoin, some even at prices of $80,000 and above, viewing it as a long-term investment for protection against instability. Luxembourg has allocated 1% (around $7 million) of its Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund to Bitcoin, and Kazakhstan's central bank is considering investing between $50 million and $300 million in crypto assets. Bitcoin's price is currently in an ascending channel and could potentially break out towards $100,000 if it holds support levels around $90,500-$91,000. Simultaneously, a meme coin called Pepenode is holding a presale that has currently raised 2.26 million dollars.

Meta is planning to significantly reduce its spending on metaverse projects, potentially by as much as 30% next year. The cuts are expected to primarily affect the VR division and Horizon Worlds. This decision comes as the company faces pressure from investors and sees slower-than-expected adoption of virtual world technologies. Layoffs are possible starting in January. News of the potential budget cuts led to a rise in Meta's stock price. While nearly all divisions at Meta are facing budget reductions, the metaverse unit is expected to experience the most substantial decrease due to concerns over its financial returns and regulatory scrutiny.

While major financial firms like Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and UBS now allow some form of Bitcoin exposure, significant barriers still limit access for many investors. These barriers include the infrequent availability of Bitcoin ETFs in standard 401(k) plans, high wealth minimums and risk score requirements at major wealth platforms like Merrill Lynch and UBS, and robo-advisor platforms like Betterment and Wealthfront defaulting to low or no Bitcoin allocations. Additionally, insurance and annuity channels are slow to adopt Bitcoin ETFs, and a cultural and compliance layer persists, with advisors and consultants often recommending only minimal Bitcoin allocations due to perceived risks. This creates a situation where Bitcoin is technically available, but access is restricted by structural defaults, compliance hurdles, and platform biases, preventing widespread adoption, particularly within retirement accounts.

MetaMask has launched prediction markets directly within its mobile wallet through a partnership with Polymarket. This allows users to make predictions on real-world events like sports, politics, and crypto prices using tokens from any EVM-compatible chain. Users can fund their prediction accounts and place trades quickly within the MetaMask app, and all assets remain under their control. Mobile users will also earn MetaMask Rewards points for every prediction they make. This new feature aims to make trading more accessible and rewarding while maintaining self-custody of assets, allowing users to act on real-time information and claim earnings directly to their wallet.

A debate occurred between Changpeng Zhao (CZ) of Binance and economist Peter Schiff about Bitcoin versus gold. CZ argued Bitcoin's verifiable transactions and limited supply make it superior to gold, even presenting Schiff with a gold bar he couldn't immediately verify. Schiff countered that Bitcoin lacks real-world utility and tangible value, highlighting gold's industrial use and long history. CZ emphasized Bitcoin's ability to reshape payments and its predictable scarcity due to its fixed supply. Performance-wise, Bitcoin has increased by approximately 377% over the last five years, while gold has risen by about 127% in the same period, although Schiff noted gold's recent outperformance in 2025. CZ believes Bitcoin's long-term strength indicates it will continue to outperform gold as adoption grows.

Bitcoin's price is currently moving in the opposite direction of the Nasdaq stock index. Historically, this negative correlation has been observed near Bitcoin price bottoms. This suggests that the current market conditions might be indicating that Bitcoin is nearing a price floor.

The article discusses LivLive ($LIVE), a new cryptocurrency with a live-to-earn ecosystem, comparing it to Bitcoin and Ethereum. LivLive has raised over $2.18 million during its presale, with over 350 participants. The first stage of the presale was $0.02 per token, with a launch price set at $0.25. LivLive rewards users for real-world actions, allocating 65% of its total supply to the community. It features a Treasure Vault with a $2.5 million prize pool. The article highlights a Black Friday campaign offering a 300% bonus on $LIVE tokens using the code BLACK300. Bitcoin is holding above $93,000, up 6% over the week, while Ethereum is trading around $3,059, up 3.97% weekly. The article suggests LivLive has a high potential for growth due to its early stage and bonus structures, particularly with the BLACK300 bonus ending soon.

BlackRock's BUIDL fund, which is a tokenized version of U.S. Treasury bonds, can now be used as collateral on the M0 platform. This means that companies issuing stablecoins on M0 can use BUIDL to back their coins. BUIDL is a large fund with over $2 billion in assets, although it has decreased by approximately 30% in the last month. Despite this decrease in total assets, the number of individual holders of BUIDL has increased by over 3%. This change aims to make stablecoins more secure, offer more options to issuers, and increase trading activity in the crypto space. The stablecoin market has expanded significantly, growing from $199 billion to nearly $308 billion in the past year.

Solmate Infrastructure, a Solana treasury firm, has signed a non-binding agreement to acquire RockawayX in an all-stock deal, creating a combined crypto infrastructure enterprise with over $2 billion in assets under management and third-party stake. RockawayX manages $1.1 billion in staked assets and venture capital portfolios including a $771 million Fund I and a $162 million Fund II. The combined entity aims to expand validator operations in Abu Dhabi, focusing on high-frequency trading services through low-latency infrastructure, with the region becoming a primary hub for Solana ecosystem staking. RockawayX's expertise in infrastructure deployment, liquidity provision, and asset management will be integrated into Solmate's operations, including early-stage blockchain investments and on-chain market making for DeFi protocols. The deal, expected to close in the first half of 2026, is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, with current RockawayX founders retaining rights to future carried interest payments from Fund I. The combined entity will continue trading under the ticker SLMT on Nasdaq.

According to CryptoQuant, Strategy, a company known for aggressively buying Bitcoin, is significantly reducing its Bitcoin purchases. Monthly buys have decreased from 134,000 BTC in early 2024 to only 135 BTC so far in December 2025. This slowdown suggests the company is preparing for a potential bear market in cryptocurrency. To bolster its financial position, Strategy has raised over $1.44 billion to create a US dollar reserve intended to cover dividend payments on preferred stock and interest expenses. This reserve aims to cover approximately $700 million annually for dividends and bond interest for 12 to 24 months. Strategy is also open to selling Bitcoin or Bitcoin derivatives as a risk management tool, marking a change from their previous strategy of exclusively converting equity into Bitcoin. The company currently holds 650,000 BTC, valued at $61 billion, with an average purchase price around $74,436. Shares of Strategy (MSTR) have fallen almost 60% since mid-July. Bitcoin's price is around $93,600, about the same as at the beginning of the year.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced it will allow spot cryptocurrency trading on regulated U.S. futures exchanges for the first time. This move, spearheaded by Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham, aims to provide a safe, legal avenue for Americans to trade crypto and position the U.S. as a leader in crypto innovation. The CFTC's decision reverses a previous approach of regulation by enforcement and follows consultation with the Presidents Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and the CFTC's Crypto Sprint initiative. The new framework will also enable tokenized collateral within derivatives markets and update rules for margin, clearing, settlement, reporting, and recordkeeping to accommodate blockchain-based infrastructure. This allows for safer markets with customer protections and market integrity that have defined U.S. futures trading.

Western Union is developing a 'stable card' for consumers in countries experiencing high inflation. The card, according to Executive VP and CFO Matthew Cagwin, is part of Western Union's larger stablecoin strategy and will function as an extension of their existing U.S. prepaid card. The main benefit is to help people in countries with high inflation, like Argentina where inflation was 250-300% last year, to maintain the value of their money by holding a dollar-denominated card.

MicroStrategy, under Michael Saylor's leadership, will maintain its current strategy of accumulating and holding its Bitcoin stockpile without selling. Bitwise, a crypto asset manager, has offered an explanation supporting this approach, indicating a continued long-term investment perspective for MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings. The article highlights the company's commitment to Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset, suggesting stability in their investment strategy despite market fluctuations.

An analyst has compared XRP to NVIDIA, suggesting that buying XRP now could be similar to buying NVIDIA shares in 2000 for $0.35. NVIDIA shares have since increased significantly, and the analyst believes XRP has the potential for similar growth. The analyst notes XRP has grown from $0.006 to $3.65 in the last 10 years and suggests the current price presents an opportunity for long-term investors. XRP recently emerged from a legal battle and analysts believe it is well-positioned for future growth. Data shows XRP on-chain activity has surged, with the velocity metric reaching a yearly high, suggesting heightened engagement and liquidity in the network.

MicroStrategy, a company known for holding a large amount of Bitcoin, is facing financial pressure. Its market value has dropped below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, leading some to believe Wall Street is negatively valuing the company. MSCI, a major index provider, is considering removing MicroStrategy from its indices, potentially causing billions in investment outflows. This is because MSCI is questioning whether companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin should be classified as investment funds instead of operating businesses. MicroStrategy has significant debt and financial obligations. While the company maintains it can handle a substantial drop in Bitcoin's price, it is in talks with MSCI about its potential exclusion from the indices.

Ethereum's price is currently around $3,191.64, up 4.43% in the last 24 hours, and is holding support near $3,050 after a recent dip in November. Analysts suggest that if Ethereum stays above this $3,050 level, it could potentially rise toward the $3,400-$3,500 range. However, failing to maintain this support could lead to a price drop to around $2,800. Key resistance levels to watch are around $3,013 and $3,206, while potential support can be found near $2,957. Recent network upgrades could provide some fundamental support. It is important to note that increasing trading activity suggests potential price swings, emphasizing the need for careful risk management.

Solana (SOL) is showing signs of a potential price increase, forming a bullish 'W' pattern on its chart after a recent decline. Long-term holders are reducing their selling, suggesting growing confidence in Solana. A key metric, NUPL, indicates selling exhaustion, a potential sign of a trend reversal. The 'W' pattern suggests a possible breakout, potentially pushing Solana's price towards $165. Currently trading around $143, Solana needs to break past the $146 resistance level to move towards targets of $157, $163 and eventually $165. However, failure to break out could lead to a drop back to the $136 support level.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that spot crypto asset contracts will be available for trading on futures exchanges registered with the agency. This decision follows recommendations and insights from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, the CFTC's Crypto Sprint initiative, and collaborative work with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The CFTC aims to provide Americans with access to safer, regulated U.S. markets for crypto assets. The Crypto Sprint initiative also includes measures for tokenized collateral, like stablecoins, within derivatives markets. The CFTC plans to update regulations to support blockchain technology in areas like collateral, margin, clearing, settlement, reporting, and recordkeeping. According to market expert MartyParty, this move allows retail and institutional traders to buy, sell, and leverage crypto assets directly on CFTC-registered exchanges. The CFTC acting chairman stated that existing laws already allow this on registered venues.

This bank, described as a 'narrow bank,' has received financial backing from Paradigm and the Winklevoss twins. The bank intends to focus on a specific range of financial services leveraging blockchain.

A crypto analyst argues that Bitcoin's price increases are more closely linked to global money supply (liquidity) than to the four-year halving cycle, which reduces mining rewards. Past Bitcoin rallies in 2013, 2017, and 2020 coincided with central banks injecting money into the economy. The analyst uses the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) as a key indicator, noting Bitcoin gains momentum when PMI is above 55 and altcoins rally above 60. The 2024-2025 cycle was weaker because central banks were reducing money supply instead of increasing it. However, the analyst suggests that conditions are shifting as central banks may begin to ease monetary policy, which could lead to renewed liquidity and potentially drive further Bitcoin price increases, especially with continued institutional investment through ETFs. The analysis suggests that tracking central bank policies is more important than focusing solely on the Bitcoin halving schedule for predicting price movements.

VTB, a major Russian state-owned bank, is planning to allow its customers to directly buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through their existing brokerage accounts.

This integration makes Polymarket more accessible to MetaMask's large user base, potentially increasing the adoption and usage of crypto prediction markets.

Polymarket, a prediction platform, is building an in-house team of traders and market makers to increase liquidity as its activity grows. This move follows a record month in November and aims to ensure there are enough participants to facilitate trading on the platform. The addition of market makers, who may trade against users, has raised concerns about potential bias in the predictions. While Polymarket has relied on large traders (whales), the platform is now looking towards retail traders and general social media users. There are rumors that market makers like Wintermute may also join Polymarket. Some observers have noted connections between accounts on Polymarket and Wintermute wallets. Polymarket's open interest has grown significantly, and it reached 494,000 active traders in November. The platform is preparing to launch on the US market with a closed beta iOS app.

The donation has also reignited discussions about cryptocurrency's role in UK politics, especially regarding foreign influence and money laundering. The UK government is now considering a potential ban on crypto donations to political parties. This debate occurs as the UK also passed a law recognizing cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as legal property.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ) of Binance and Peter Schiff debated Bitcoin versus gold at Binance Blockchain Week 2025 in Dubai. CZ argued Bitcoin outperforms gold due to its fixed supply and transparency, while Schiff criticized Bitcoin for lacking intrinsic value, industrial use, and pricing power. CZ highlighted Bitcoin's ease of verification by contrasting it with the need for lab testing to verify gold, presenting a physical gold bar for Schiff to examine. They also disagreed on crypto payments, with CZ emphasizing speed and convenience. The debate highlighted the ongoing argument about whether digital currency can rival traditional stores of value.

Solana is gaining momentum and is trading near $143, with analysts predicting a rise to $230 by early 2026. Franklin Templeton launched a Solana ETF (SOEZ) on NYSE Arca, joining other firms like Bitwise and Grayscale in offering regulated Solana products. Two Solana-based memecoins, ZEREBRO and PIPPIN, are outperforming the market. PIPPIN has increased +900% over the past month, reaching around $0.245, driven by whale accumulation and high trading volume. ZEREBRO, another AI-themed coin, has climbed 18.21% in the last 24 hours to $0.03859, with a 58.30% rise over the past week. Analysts suggest ZEREBRO could follow PIPPIN's path, potentially reaching $0.0385 by mid-December and $0.0537 in a positive scenario for 2025, but caution is advised due to the volatility of memecoins.

Recent predictions suggest XRP's price could significantly increase by March 2026. ChatGPT forecasts a price of $4.40, a 120% increase from its current value around $2. Analysts are even more optimistic, believing XRP could reach $5 or $6 by 2026, citing the resolution of the SEC case against Ripple and the expansion of Ripple's ecosystem with its RLUSD stablecoin. The stablecoin, while not directly impacting XRP's price, could attract more users to the Ripple network, increasing demand for XRP. Analysts also point to the upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2028 as a potential catalyst for a broader crypto market rally. Technically, analysts see XRP setting up for a potential breakout with $2.60 being a key level for a shift in momentum. Currently, XRP is priced at $2.14, reflecting a 1.6% decrease in the last 24 hours.

This allows for atomic settlements without relying on third-party bridges. Several firms including Cantor Fitzgerald, Cumberland DRW, and IMC Trading, have already begun using USDCx on Canton for live transactions. The integration aims to serve financial institutions with compliance-focused infrastructure, offering privacy-preserving payment capabilities for treasury operations and compliance teams. Tokenized assets on Canton can now settle instantly against USDCx, improving capital efficiency and removing counterparty risk during asset transfers.

The Pepe memecoin's price increased by 4.46% to approximately $0.000004898 despite its official website being hacked. The hack, identified as a front-end attack redirecting users to malicious links, involved the Inferno Drainer tool used for phishing and wallet draining. Trading volume has increased by 26% to $381.5 million over the past 24 hours. Technical indicators show positive momentum, with the price above its 7-day simple moving average. Analysts advise caution, noting that the gains could be reversed if the security breach is not addressed. The price faces resistance at the 23.6% Fibonacci level of $0.0000057928. Broader memecoin trends and positive sentiment from major financial players also support the price increase.

The price of the cryptocurrency Sui (SUI) is anticipated to potentially rise above $2 following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers twice the leverage on SUI. This ETF allows investors to amplify their potential returns (or losses) on SUI's price movements, which has created positive price expectations for the cryptocurrency.

Recent concerns about quantum computers potentially breaking Bitcoin's security have been dismissed by some experts. K33 Research believes these fears are overblown, while Blockstream CEO Adam Back estimates Bitcoin is unlikely to face quantum threats for at least 20 to 40 years, citing the development of post-quantum encryption standards. Trader The White Whale also downplayed immediate risks, saying there isn't a machine capable of breaking Bitcoin signatures. Despite these quantum fears, Bitcoin has broken above $93,000, turning it into short-term support. If Bitcoin holds above $92,500-$93,000, the next target is around $101,000, followed by a resistance area between $107,500 and $113,000. Additionally, the meme coin Maxi Doge ($MAXI) has raised over $4.27 million in its presale, with a portion of the funds going towards market plays and ecosystem promotion.

Zcash has seen a significant price increase, rising approximately 1,200% over the last 90 days, driven by institutional interest and the potential for a Zcash-based ETF. Cardano is experiencing steady network activity and progress in applications for ADA-based exchange-traded products, though regulatory reviews are ongoing. Meanwhile, Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) has launched its presale auction, releasing 200 million coins daily, with token allocation based on proportional contribution. The ZKP presale auction resets every 24 hours, allowing participants to acquire ZKP coins using ETH, USDC, USDT, BNB, and other assets. The presale covers 35% of the total ZKP coin supply, and the daily closing price sets the reward benchmark. The author believes this presale auction stands out because of its high engagement and transparent pricing model.

BNB's price is approaching $910, accompanied by a 68% increase in trading volume. This rise in volume suggests heightened interest in BNB as it nears a key resistance level.

A panel discussion at Binance Blockchain Week centered on the increasing use of stablecoins. Stablecoins are growing quickly, with transaction volumes exceeding those of Visa. They are being driven by demand in Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Braza Bank in Brazil is issuing stablecoins linked to both the Brazilian Real and the US Dollar. A key factor is the establishment of transparent reserves and independent verification. Tokenized settlement is critical for scaling tokenized assets, needing instant transfer capabilities. Regulations, such as those in the EU regarding e-money tokens, are enabling institutional adoption. Stablecoins are evolving from a niche product into a core component of the global financial system, impacting payments and asset settlement.

Japanese publicly listed company AltPlus announced plans to incorporate Bitcoin and XRP into its long-term treasury strategy.

The company has also outlined risk-management systems to address market volatility, cybersecurity, and regulatory changes.

XRP is currently trading within a range, supported by a rising channel pattern that started after a significant price increase in late 2024. The price is finding support around $1.95-$2.00 and facing resistance near $2.62-$2.80. Factors like improving regulatory clarity due to progress in the SEC case against Ripple, and the launch of Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, are influencing market sentiment. Large XRP holders, known as whales, have been accumulating XRP, with over 590 million XRP added in a seven-day period in early December 2024, and over $2.17 billion between December 25th and 28th. Analysts suggest that breaking above $2.28 could lead to a move towards $2.75, but caution that the market remains volatile. Key resistance levels to watch are $2.20-$2.40 and $2.62-$2.80, while support levels are around $1.90-$2.00 and $1.50-$1.82. Institutional interest is also growing, with applications for XRP-based ETFs being filed.

The crypto market is seeing mixed signals. Cardano's price has fallen over 20% in the last month, but some analysts believe a buy signal has appeared, potentially leading to a price rebound to $0.45. Solana has also experienced a roughly 20% drop, with predictions of a potential rise to $160 if it breaks out of a specific pattern. Meanwhile, Digitap's presale has seen a 167% return for early buyers, with a further price increase expected soon, from $0.0334 to $0.0361 per token. Digitap has raised over $2 million and sold nearly 140 million coins and is launching a global money app to manage crypto and fiat currencies. Some traders are shifting their focus from Cardano and Solana to Digitap, anticipating greater potential profits due to its growth in the e-banking market and a possible listing on a major exchange.

According to a crypto analyst, an XRP supply shock, which could significantly increase its price, will only occur under specific conditions. This isn't about speculation but a real decrease in available XRP. The launch of XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) would force issuers to buy actual XRP, reducing exchange supplies. Institutional investors holding XRP for long-term purposes instead of actively trading would further tighten supply. Companies using XRP in their corporate treasuries for international payments and Ripple's management of its XRP escrow also play a role in limiting supply. Increased use of XRP in on-chain activities, such as tokenized funds and payment systems on the XRP Ledger, combined with identity verification systems, will lock away more tokens. If these factors align, the limited availability of XRP could lead to a price increase as buyers compete for a shrinking supply.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved spot Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency trading on CFTC-registered exchanges, marking the first time this has been allowed in the United States. This decision aims to establish fully regulated spot crypto markets in the U.S., offering traders safer and more transparent platforms. The move addresses previous regulatory gaps and provides a secure environment for Americans to trade digital assets, moving away from reliance on potentially less secure offshore exchanges. This decision follows recommendations from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and collaboration with the SEC, as well as feedback gathered from experts and the public. The CFTC is also exploring the use of tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain technology to improve various aspects of derivatives markets. The approval enables Americans to trade spot Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on exchanges with established protections.

XRP is struggling to increase in value despite some recovery attempts in the broader cryptocurrency market. Its price has been unable to break through key resistance levels when measured against both the US dollar (USDT) and Bitcoin (BTC). When compared to the US dollar, XRP is stuck in a downward trend that began in August, and previous attempts to rise above the $2.60 level were unsuccessful. The price is currently around $2.15, and a drop to $1.85 is possible if buyers don't push the price back up to the $2.40-$2.60 range. When measured against Bitcoin, XRP failed to sustain a breakout above the 2,400 sats level and is now testing support around 2,300 sats. A failure to hold this level could lead to further declines, potentially towards 2,000 sats or lower, especially if Bitcoin's dominance in the market increases.

Bitcoin ETFs have experienced five consecutive days of net positive inflows, totaling $58 million on Tuesday, after a period of significant outflows in November. This coincides with Bitcoin's price recovering to above $89,600, the average cost basis for ETF investors. While Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows, Ether ETFs experienced $9.9 million in outflows, and Solana funds saw $13.5 million in net redemptions. Bitcoin's price reached around $93,000. Market analysts are suggesting that broader market forces have influenced Bitcoin's price fluctuations more than previously thought. Further boosting market sentiment, asset manager Vanguard reversed its policy to allow clients to trade crypto ETFs, potentially increasing institutional demand. Additionally, positive sentiment rose because the SEC may introduce a new regulatory framework. Bitcoin climbed to $93,965, its highest intraday level since November 17th.

The price of SUI cryptocurrency has increased by 9% in the last week, rising from $1.5746 to $1.67. This increase follows a breakout from a falling wedge pattern, which is a sign of potential trend reversal. Trading volume has also increased significantly. Vanguard Group's decision to include SUI in the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index has attracted new attention. Analysts suggest that if SUI can maintain its position above the breakout zone and break through the $1.75 resistance level, it could potentially rally towards $4, representing a 150% increase. The cryptocurrency is currently testing a three-month downtrend resistance, and a successful break above $1.75 would confirm a bullish reversal on the daily chart.

Ethereum (ETH) has maintained stability, finding support within its historical Weekly CME Gap around $2,900 since November 26, and is currently trading above $3,200 as of December 3. The price has been consolidating within a narrowing range, supported by the CME Gap and capped by a descending trendline. Ethereum's RSI has broken above its long-term downtrend, with the next key resistance level around $3,400. ETH has also reclaimed its 50-week simple moving average after bouncing from the $2,800 area. The next target is $3,700 if momentum continues, with $3,200 being monitored as a critical level. Trading volume has increased, and there's been strong buying from addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH. ETH is priced at $3,190, showing a 4% gain in the last 24 hours and a 6% gain over the past week.

Pi Network's price is currently fluctuating between $0.18 and $0.22, experiencing selling pressure and new token unlocks. The Pi Core Team is improving communication with its 35 million users, but the community is divided regarding the project's future. A recent investment by Pi Ventures in CiDi Games, a Web3 gaming company, caused a 7% price increase, highlighting the community's responsiveness to ecosystem developments. Coinpedias analysis suggests a potential trend reversal if Pi Coin breaks key resistance levels, with possible targets of $1.00 to $1.65 by early 2026 under favorable conditions, and potentially $2.00 to $3.00 later in 2026.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is beginning to regulate leveraged spot crypto trading, starting with Bitnomial, a Chicago-based exchange. Bitnomial is now the first CFTC-registered exchange to offer leveraged spot crypto trading, providing equal market access to both retail and institutional traders. This move aims to create more secure and regulated crypto markets for American traders, mirroring the regulatory oversight applied to futures and options. The CFTC aims to expand its regulatory authority over the crypto spot market through future legislation to combat spot market manipulation. This is part of the CFTC's broader initiative to regulate digital assets and enhance market integrity and customer protection within the crypto space.

American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), a company backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has purchased an additional 363 Bitcoin, increasing its total holdings to 4,367 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $405 million. This purchase continues ABTC's strategy of accumulating Bitcoin. While the company's stock experienced a nearly 40% drop following the expiration of a lock-up period that allowed early investors to sell shares, it partially recovered with a 9% increase on Wednesday. Despite the stock's volatility, Eric Trump maintains that the company's fundamentals are strong and that he is committed to ABTC.

Crypto holders are increasingly becoming targets for violent crimes like kidnapping and extortion. There's been a surge in reported cases in 2025, with gangs using information from on-chain data combined with personal details found online to locate victims. These attacks often involve torture and targeting family members to steal cryptocurrency. France is an epicenter, but cases have been reported globally, including in the US, UK, Canada, Brazil, and Asia. Criminals exploit the direct control holders have over their crypto with no intermediary and the difficulty of international law enforcement coordination. The article warns holders to protect their personal information, separate their online and real-world identities, and consider advanced security measures.

Ethereum has rebounded from $2.7K, signaling renewed buying interest. However, it faces resistance between $3,255 and $3,610, which could lead to a price pullback towards $3K. The broader bullish trend is not confirmed until Ethereum breaks above its 200-day moving average. A short-term pullback towards $3K is likely before any further upward movement. The price is currently confined between $3K and $3.6K, and consolidation within this range is expected until a breakout occurs. Recent increased retail buying near $2.7K suggests a potential pullback may still be on the horizon, mirroring a pattern seen earlier in the year.

Meta is reportedly reducing its metaverse investment by 30%. This budget cut suggests a change in the company's focus as the virtual reality market may not be developing as quickly as anticipated.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved the trading of spot cryptocurrencies on regulated U.S. exchanges. This decision allows exchanges overseen by the CFTC to offer direct trading of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, moving beyond just futures contracts. The approval opens the door for broader participation in the crypto market within a regulated framework, potentially attracting institutional investors and increasing market liquidity.

Bitcoin ETFs experienced $4 billion in outflows during October and November. A research analyst suggests this was primarily due to the unwinding of basis trades, rather than investors selling off their holdings due to fear or loss. The outflows are attributed to adjustments in trading strategies rather than a broader market capitulation.

MoneyGram is partnering with Fireblocks to manage stablecoin settlements, aiming to speed up and make international money transfers more reliable.
