📈 Gold or stocks: which is more profitable over 25 years

If you had invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 2000, you would now have $77,495.

But if you had invested the same $10,000 in gold, your capital would have grown to $126,596.

Despite crises, inflation, and wars, it is gold that preserved and multiplied capital more than 12 times.

🔥 Cardano ($ADA ) Founder Charles Hoskinson Shares His Predictions for 2026

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made striking statements about the cryptocurrency markets over the next year and his predictions for 2026 in an interview.

Hoskinson stated that the market has entered a new trend phase and made a jaw-dropping price prediction for Bitcoin.

Hoskinson predicts that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026, noting that institutional demand remains very strong. He sees the fact that giants like Morgan Stanley have started recommending crypto positions to their private asset advisors as one of the biggest triggers for this rise.

According to Hoskinson, the development of custody-free lending protocols is critical for this increase in Bitcoin’s value to spill over into altcoins.

Hoskinson stated that each generation in the crypto world brings a new technological leap. Following the eras of smart contracts and scalability, he argued that the main theme of the next year will be “privacy.” However, he clarified that this privacy will not be a completely dark structure, but rather “rational privacy,” where the user can choose what and whom they share.

In this context, Hoskinson, who introduced the new fourth-generation blockchain project Midnight, said that this network will function as a “privacy API” not only for Cardano but also for other networks such as Ethereum and Solana.

Hoskinson, evaluating the year 2025, stated that the excitement following Trump’s election was hampered by certain market anomalies. He argued that the launch of projects like “Trumpcoin” and “World Liberty Financial” specifically undermined individual interest in cryptocurrencies by drawing them into a partisan arena of debate.

Touching upon Cardano’s future, the founder stated that the network has now gone beyond being just a Layer-1 platform. Hoskinson explained that they will bring Cardano’s stability to other chains with the “Partner Chain” concept.

💥 Popular Altcoin Founder Shares Predictions for 2026

Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder of StarkNet (STRK) and CEO of StarkWare, shared his predictions for the cryptocurrency ecosystem in 2026.

Ben-Sasson’s analyses focus on topics such as the rise of privacy technologies, competition among smart contract platforms, and the resurgence of the on-chain gaming ecosystem.

According to Ben-Sasson, the concept of privacy will become more prominent in the crypto world by 2026. The StarkWare CEO stated that he expects increased interest in privacy within the community and expressed cautious optimism that some trusted execution environments (TZEs) and technological updates in this area could be implemented during the year.

Ben-Sasson argued that competition will continue in the smart contract and DeFi spheres, stating that the battle between Ethereum and Solana will not produce a clear winner until the end of 2026. He predicted that both networks will remain strong and play decisive roles in the ecosystem.

Ben-Sasson, drawing attention to blockchain gaming as a more surprising topic, argued that the gaming sector will make a strong comeback in the new year with on-chain solutions. He believes this comeback will particularly occur on Starknet, explaining that this is due to the ease with which features needed by gaming applications can be delivered thanks to native computational abstraction (NAA), and Starknet’s high scalability capacity.

💥 Cardano Jumps 52,077% in Futures Activity in Holiday Trading, What's Going On?

The crypto market is trading relatively quiet amid the holidays as investors readjust positioning at year-end.

Despite lighter volumes seen for most crypto assets during holiday trading, Cardano has increased 52,077% in futures activity on major crypto exchange.

Cardano's futures volume on Bitmex in the last 24 hours came in at $129.12 million, representing a 52,077.75% increase.

Cardano reversed a three-day drop from Dec. 23, now trading in the green as buyers bought the dip.

At press time, ADA was up 1.54% in the last 24 hours to $0.355, but down 3.04% weekly.

Cardano has spent weeks trending downwards, frustrating bulls. On the other hand, it seems the forces shaping the next move are quietly shifting beneath the surface.

The current price action on the markets suggests investors are reassessing risk appetite. However, a few overlooked signals on the market might be converging unusually, 10x Research noted in its recent analysis. The market may be far closer to an inflection point than price action alone suggests, the analysis indicated.

🔸 Price targets

Cardano began to drop in December from a high of $0.484 on Dec. 9. Bulls' attempt to halt the downtrend stopped short at a high of $0.38 before ADA price started falling again.

Cardano turned down from the $0.3812 level on Dec. 22, indicating that the bears are attempting to flip the $0.38 level into resistance.Sellers will attempt to resume the downtrend by pulling the Cardano price below $0.34. If they do that, ADA price could drop to $0.30 and, after that, to the Oct. 10 low of $0.27.

This bearish view will be invalidated in the short term if the price turns up from the current level and breaks above the daily moving averages 50 and 200 at $0.436 and $0.669. ADA could then rally to $0.70, which is likely to act as a major hurdle.

🤔 Dogecoin Is Repeating Its 2020 Accumulation Cycle, Analyst Says

Crypto analyst Cryptollica is arguing that Dogecoin’s weekly chart is doing that familiar thing again: carving out a rounded base, bleeding off volatility, resetting momentum and quietly setting up what he frames as the “calm before the storm.”

Or, at least, that’s the pitch. In a Dec. 23 TradingView analysis titled “DOGE: The Cycle Repeats (1W Timeframe),” Cryptollica calls the current structure a “textbook fractal setup,” pointing to four prior “structural points (1, 2, 3, 4)” across #DOGE ’s longer-term history and claiming the market is now sitting at “Point 4.” The core claim is less about a single indicator and more about pattern recognition: the structure is rhyming perfectly with the pre-bull run accumulation phases of the past.

🔸 Will #Dogecoin Repeat History?

Cryptollica frames Zones 1 and 2 as prior “boredom phases” — the type of long, dead-feeling stretches that, in hindsight, look like accumulation. “Zones 1 & 2: These were the ‘boredom phases’ where volatility died, and smart money accumulated,” the post reads.

Zone 2, in particular, is described as “the launchpad for the massive 2021 parabolic run.” The current period, which the analyst labels Zone 4, is presented as a near-mirror: “We are seeing the exact same rounding bottom formation. The price is stabilizing, forming a heavy base just like it did before the previous explosions.”

That’s the structural argument. The momentum argument is RSI, and Cryptollica is unusually direct about how they’re treating it: “Look at the RSI indicator at the bottom. The red line (~32. level) acts as a historical floor.”

They add that “every single time the weekly RSI touched or hovered near this baseline (Points 1, 2, and 3), it marked a macro bottom.” Right now, in their read, “the RSI has reset back to this critical support level,” which they interpret as seller fatigue: “It indicates that the sellers are exhausted and the momentum is primed to flip.”

🤔 1,000,000 $XRP in 24 Hours: Is This the End?

XRP is currently in an awkward position. In terms of price, the asset is still trapped in a clear declining channel that has dominated the previous few months. Lower highs and lower lows are still present, and XRP is still trading below its important moving averages, all of which are declining. Technically speaking, a verified trend reversal does not resemble this.

🔸 XRP is moving across networks

But when on-chain data is included in the conversation, the overall picture becomes more complex. Approximately one million XRP were transferred across the network in a brief period of time during the last 24 hours, indicating a dramatic increase in XRP Ledger activity. The number of active users is still comparatively high when compared to previous weeks, and the volume of payments increased significantly. This indicates one crucial point: the network itself is not dead or deserted, even though price action is sluggish.

Long-term increases in active addresses and payment volume typically precede, rather than follow, more significant directional price changes. Prior to the markets obvious reaction, on-chain activity frequently serves as a leading indicator, indicating phases of accumulation or distribution. Even though it hasnt yet resulted in a bullish price expansion, XRP's spike indicates that capital is moving once more.

🔸 XRP pushed down

XRP is still capped by declining resistance on the price chart and is having difficulty regaining crucial levels around the mid-$2 range. Any attempts at a rally are still at risk of failing until XRP breaks out of its declining channel and regains at least one significant moving average with volume confirmation.

The more positive view is that XRP might be entering a base-building stage. RSI is hovering close to oversold-neutral territory, selling pressure seems to be waning, and repeated tests of local lows have not resulted in new breakdowns.

🔥 Uniswap surges as vote to burn 100 million $UNI shows overwhelming support

Uniswap’s UNI token is edging higher as the community votes on the “UNIfication” proposal, a governance package designed to introduce protocol fees and create a direct token-burn mechanism. The vote opened on December 20 and is set to end in less than 20 hours.

Data shows that UNI jumped from around $5.4 to $6.4 early in the voting window before retreating alongside other crypto assets. Over the past 24 hours, the token has risen about 1.5% to trade near $6.

Current results point to decisive approval, with over 120 million UNI votes in favor compared to only 742 against, far surpassing the 40 million quorum, though the voting period is not yet closed.

The UNIfication proposal, put forward by Uniswap Labs and Uniswap Foundation, would turn on Uniswap’s protocol fees and route them into a mechanism that burns UNI, while gradually rolling the changes out across pools and networks.

It also proposes burning 100 million UNI from the treasury and consolidating ecosystem functions under Uniswap Labs, which would drop product-level fees and focus on expanding protocol usage.

Supporters say the plan creates a long-term model in which protocol usage directly reduces token supply and ties Labs’ incentives more closely to the Uniswap ecosystem.

🔥 Binance Founder @CZ Delivers a Bitcoin ($BTC ) and New Year’s Message!

With only a few days left until the new year, Bitcoin (BTC) has failed to surpass even $90,000, let alone $100,000. As it continues its sideways movement below $90,000, expectations for a further rise in BTC are diminishing.

As hopes for Bitcoin dwindle, Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has sent a message regarding Bitcoin and the new year.

In a post on his X account, CZ shed light on when to buy Bitcoin. CZ asked his followers if they ever regretted not buying Bitcoin when it reached its all-time high.

At this point, CZ reminded us that successful BTC buyers don’t buy at peaks, but when the market is filled with fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).

CZ emphasized that successful Bitcoin buyers who make big profits don’t wait for perfect conditions or all-time highs; instead, they act and buy when everyone else is afraid.

💬 “When Bitcoin was at its all-time high, did you ever think, ‘I wish I had bought Bitcoin sooner’?”Guess what? Early buyers didn’t buy at the peak; they bought amidst fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

CZ concluded his post with the message “Merry Christmas”.

💬 When bitcoin was ATH, have you ever thought, “I wish I bought bitcoins early”?Guess what, those who bought early did not buy at ATH, they bought when there were fear, uncertainty and doubt.Merry Christmas 🎄— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) December 25, 2025

📊 $SUI Price Action Remains Muted as Futures OI Hovers Around $694M

SUI, the native cryptocurrency of the SUI blockchain shows slight downtick of 1.78% during Tuesday’s U.S. market hours. The price coincides with the continued correction momentum in the broader market as Bitcoin reverses from $90,000, However, a deeper analysis of SUI’s market dynamic shows a similar sluggish trend in its total volume locked and open interest, signaling a prolonged consolidation ahead.

🔸 SUI Price Stalls Below $1.50 as December Trading Dries Up

Sui’s native token has been caught in a narrow trading range for most of December 2025, testing but failing to make any sustained moves above the $1.50 level. As liquidity thins out during the holiday season, the price action of the day shows narrow low volume candles, indicating that the pressure on both sides of the market is balanced and there is little directional conviction.

Technical readings over daily timeframes show consistently small body sizes with below average trading action. This pattern usually occurs at a period of indecision, where accumulation or distribution does not have the impetus to force breakout. The $1.50 zone remains as a psychological and technical ceiling, repelling upward bids and finding shallow support in downside probes.

The same lack of momentum is reflected in derivatives markets. Recent Coinglass numbers show that open interest in SUI perpetual contracts is about $694 million with little changes with a slight downtick over the last day. The sluggish trend indicates that traders refrain from opening new contract in futures market, indicating cautiousness amid current market uncertainty.

The onchain data shows a similar trend. According to DeFiLlama data, the SUI’s total volume locked has been wavering sideways around $900 million since late November. Liquidity providers and participants in lending, DEXs and other applications seem to be happy with existing commitments without major new inflows or outflows of capital.

🪙 Glassnode Reveals Critical Data for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH): “It’s Turned Bearish!”

The decline in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and altcoin prices has also affected ETFs. As a result of these declines, outflows from ETFs have increased, and Glassnode has analyzed these outflows.

On-chain data platform Glassnode said that outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have been ongoing for weeks, indicating that institutional investors are exiting the market.

According to Glassnode, this negative trend in ETFs indicates that institutional investors are now in a phase of low participation and partial exit, reinforcing the ongoing liquidity tightening trend in the broader crypto market.

At this point, Glassnode emphasizes that the prolonged negative flows in BTC and ETH ETFs should be interpreted as weakening institutional participation and the market entering a lower-volume phase.

ETFs are considered the strongest indicator of institutional investor sentiment. A decrease in ETF inflows, or institutional capital inflows, can negatively impact market depth and trading volume, potentially leading to more volatile short-term price fluctuations.

Analysts, recalling that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were the main driving force behind the 2025 rally, noted that in the current landscape, sentiment among institutional investors appears to have shifted from a bull market to a bear market.

While it remains unclear whether the sell-off in the corporate sector is temporary or signals the beginning of a bear market, analysts say it is ultimately temporary and the long-term bullish outlook remains unchanged.

According to Glassnode, despite the low liquidity, weak risk appetite, and bearish corporate trend seen in the short term, major players have not yet abandoned their long-term positions. At this point, analysts note that the long-term picture still looks strong.

🪙 $XRP holders can now earn yield without selling their tokens

XRP holders now have a way to earn yield without selling their tokens or navigating complex DeFi strategies, with data-focused blockchain Flare's earnXRP, an fully on-chain yield product denominated in XRP.

The new vault allows users to deposit FXRP, a one-to-one representation of XRP on Flare, and earn returns that are compounded back into XRP, according to a press release. Instead of juggling multiple protocols, users make a single deposit and receive earnXRP, a receipt token that tracks their share of the vault and its accumulated yield.

Behind the scenes, the vault spreads funds across a mix of strategies, including XRP staking, liquidity provision and carry trades that borrow low-cost stablecoins and deploy them into higher-yield venues.

The launch matters because only a tiny fraction of XRP’s supply is currently used in DeFi, despite the token’s size and liquidity. By keeping returns denominated in XRP, earnXRP aims to appeal to holders who want yield without taking on stablecoin exposure or active trading risk.

For Flare, the vault acts as a liquidity engine. Turning idle XRP into productive capital increases onchain activity, deepens markets and strengthens Flare’s FAssets system, which brings XRP into smart contract environments.
