The British administrator of indices CF Benchmarks, owned by the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, has predicted the growth of Bitcoin $BTC to $2.95 million by 2035. This is reported by CoinDesk, citing a firm report.
Analysts believe that an increasing number of institutional investors are integrating the first cryptocurrency into their portfolios as a store of value rather than a short-term bet on volatility.
The company uses traditional capital market assumptions — expected returns, volatility, and correlation — to assess Bitcoin's prospects by 2035. According to the baseline scenario, with further institutional adoption, the cryptocurrency could reach approximately one-third of the market capitalization of gold. This gives a projected value of $1.42 million per 1 BTC.

American traders are actively selling: the Coinbase Premium Gap index has fallen to -57. This was reported by an analyst from the CryptoQuant platform under the pseudonym Martuun.
Moreover, CryptoQuant experts emphasized that a re-evaluation of the market valuation $BTC is taking place. The basis of their assessment is the NVT Golden Cross indicator, which evaluates how much the market capitalization corresponds to the transaction volume in the network.
When the short-term NVT value is significantly lower than the long-term trend, it is a sign that Bitcoin is undervalued. In the current cycle, the indicator has dropped to -0.58 — one of the lowest levels in history. This indicates a significant lag of the price from the fundamental activity of the network, the experts noted.

Ethereum proposal $ETH on cryptocurrency exchanges has reached its lowest level since 2016. According to CryptoQuant, the Exchange Supply Ratio (ESR) has decreased to approximately 0.137. They say this indicates a growing outflow of Ethereum to external wallets and a decrease in selling pressure.
On the exchange, #Binance the ESR has fallen to 0.0325. This means that a significant portion of Ethereum is leaving platform wallets, reducing the asset's supply in the spot market. According to analysts, this trend indicates a decrease in investors' willingness to sell in the short term.
The reduction in exchange supplies combined with the stability of the rate indicates a lack of strong selling pressure and rather suggests the market is entering a phase of liquidity absorption and repositioning, experts concluded.

Payment giant #Visa has allowed US banks to use stablecoin $USDC on the blockchain #Solana for settlements. This was reported by Bloomberg. Among the first partners of the company are Cross River Bank and Lead Bank.
Global Head of Development at Visa Rubail Birwadker noted that this directly relates to the core business of the company — settlements in the Visa network. According to him, now Visa can expand these capabilities to the US market, as banks have been granted permission to use fully collateralized digital dollars and regulated settlement mechanisms.
This step expands access to the company's cryptocurrency products against the backdrop of easing regulations on digital assets in the US. Visa has already integrated support for USDC in international transactions and is now extending the initiative to the domestic market, journalists noted.

The investment company Grayscale published an analytical report titled "Forecast for Digital Assets in 2026: The Beginning of the Era of Institutionalization," in which it stated about fundamental structural shifts in the digital asset market.
Analysts believe that the next year may mark the end of the so-called "four-year cycle" and the beginning of a new phase, where institutional capital, regulatory certainty, and deeper integration of blockchains into the traditional financial system will play a key role.
According to Grayscale, the cryptocurrency market is in a sustained bullish trend that does not fit into the classical model of cycles related to the Bitcoin halving $BTC . Previous market peaks were usually formed 1–1.5 years after the halving, however, the current cycle has already lasted over three years, and the last halving occurred in April 2024.
Grayscale also forecasts growth in valuations across all six crypto sectors and allows for the possibility that the price of Bitcoin will exceed the previous historical maximum as early as the first half of 2026.

Bitcoin $BTC may fall to $10,000, said Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone.
McGlone reminded that it was #Strategy that initiated the bitcoin rally in 2020 when the asset price was around $10,000. However, the expert believes that the main drivers have already played their part.
He noted that a significant portion of the events that the market had pinned its hopes on have already occurred, including the launch of #ETF , the recognition of Bitcoin's advantages by US leaders, and its broader mass adoption.
The expert also pointed to the overall situation in the industry, noting that currently 28 million cryptocurrencies are represented on CoinMarketCap compared to just one in 2009. In this regard, McGlone believes that bitcoin may again decrease to previous levels around $10,000. Earlier, this analyst predicted a decrease #BTC to $50,000.

The MetaMask wallet has announced support for Bitcoin $BTC , expanding the service's functionality beyond the Ethereum ecosystem $ETH . The launch occurred ten months after the first announcement and marks another step for the company towards a multi-chain strategy.
MetaMask reported the launch of cryptocurrency support on December 15, 2025. The company confirmed that users can now directly interact with the asset — buying, exchanging, sending, and receiving without the use of wrapped tokens.
The company clarified that all transactions with Bitcoin will be displayed in the asset list after the transaction is confirmed. At the same time, the developers reminded that transactions on this network are usually processed slower than on networks #EVM or #Solana .
The support for the asset is a continuation of the project's course from an Ethereum wallet to a multi-chain platform. In recent months, MetaMask added support for Solana, then integrated $SEI and Monad, and also launched prediction markets in collaboration with Polymarket.

Analysts #CryptoQuant reported that the volumes of large bitcoin transactions (over 1 $BTC ) coming to the exchange #Binance have sharply declined. According to them, the annual average is currently around 6500 BTC — at the level of 2018.
In the short term, the situation looks even more pronounced. The average weekly volume of such transactions has decreased to 5200 BTC, which is one of the lowest levels in the current cycle, experts noted.
According to them, unlike previous cycles when the price of bitcoin growth was accompanied by an increase in activity of so-called wholecoiners (holders of more than 1 BTC), the current trend indicates a reverse trend. Flows to Binance from this category of addresses not only do not increase but, on the contrary, decrease.
In the opinion of analysts, this may indicate a reduction in selling pressure from large holders. Additionally, there is a decrease in the number of transactions over 1 BTC — likely due to the rising value of the asset, which makes it harder to buy a whole coin.

Company #Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has retained its place in the index #Nasdaq100 following the annual rebalancing results. The changes will take effect on December 22, 2025.
As part of the index review, six companies were removed, and three were added. However, Strategy managed to remain among the participants, although many analysts anticipated its removal from the list.
Strategy initially operated as a provider of business analytics software. In 2020, the company changed its strategy, making Bitcoin $BTC a key asset on its balance sheet. Since then, it has accumulated 660,624 BTC, making it the largest public corporate holder of the first cryptocurrency.
Unlike most Nasdaq 100 companies, Strategy's financial performance is directly dependent on the dynamics of Bitcoin. This has drawn criticism from a number of analysts who view the company as more of a vehicle for cryptocurrency investment than a traditional tech business.
The Nasdaq 100 index is focused on non-financial companies, and Strategy's classification remains a subject of debate.

The analytical unit of the cryptocurrency exchange #Binance — Binance Research — published a review of the cryptocurrency market for November 2025, which recorded a decrease in total capitalization of 15.43%.
According to it, this is the second consecutive month in the "red zone," signaling the market's transition into a phase of deeper correction after a strong rally in the first half of the year.
In November, the share of $BTC in total capitalization decreased to 58.7%, while Ethereum $ETH dropped to 11.6%. Several key factors influenced market participants:
- uncertainty regarding the December FOMC meeting and the rate reduction schedule;
- expectations of a 25 basis point increase by the Bank of Japan, creating risks of unwinding carry trades;
- correction in the equity sector of artificial assets, where skepticism about the profitability of large investments caused sell-offs in crypto assets.
On December 1, the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening program (quantitative tightening, #QT ) ended. From January, a transition to "balance growth" is expected with the purchase of $20-25 billion in short-term Treasury securities per month — technically this is "#QE -Lite," which returns liquidity to the system and forms the basis for the future growth of the cryptocurrency market.
