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 transferred a large amount of crypto as ETF outflows continued into year-end.
On-chain data shows 2,201 BTC and 7,557 ETH were sent to Coinbase Prime, worth over $214M at the time. The move happened as Bitcoin ETFs recorded -$275.9M in net outflows on Dec 26, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for most of the pressure. Ethereum ETFs also saw net exits.
Zooming out, crypto ETPs have now seen about $3.2B in outflows since the October correction.
This does not confirm aggressive selling, but large institutional transfers during persistent outflows usually point to a more cautious stance.
BNB continua a essere scambiato sotto una linea di tendenza al ribasso a lungo termine, che mantiene la struttura di mercato ribassista. I rally sono ancora limitati da resistenze dinamiche e il momentum al rialzo rimane debole.
Per invertire questa situazione, BNB ha bisogno di una riconquista pulita della linea di tendenza con conferma. Fino ad allora, la continuazione al ribasso verso zone di supporto più basse rimane il percorso più probabile.
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.
California has proposed a 5% billionaire wealth tax, and it’s raising serious concerns in the crypto industry.
The tax targets unrealized gains, including crypto holdings and startup equity that hasn’t been sold. This could pressure founders and long-term holders who have paper wealth but limited liquidity.
Many crypto leaders warn this kind of policy may push innovation outside the US, as capital and talent become more mobile.
At the same time, some firms are still expanding into the US, showing the situation is complex and still evolving.
The bigger question is whether the US can stay competitive in a global, digital economy.
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
The 2026 XRP story depends on one big “if”: if $BTC reaches $250K, large-cap alts with stronger fundamentals could get a bigger rotation.
Some reports say XRP was more resilient in 2025 than the wider alt market, and they link that to growing adoption and clearer regulation. Ripple has also been building like a serious financial company, with coverage showing $2.7B+ in acquisitions aimed at payments, treasury software, and trading infrastructure.
If BTC goes parabolic in 2026, the argument is simple: money rotates into the few alts that look “institution-ready.”
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.
I flussi degli ETF spot negli Stati Uniti (26-12-2025) sono stati nuovamente negativi.
Gli ETF spot di Bitcoin hanno registrato -$275.88M in deflussi netti. Gli ETF spot di Ethereum hanno registrato -$38.70M in deflussi. Tutti gli altri ETF elencati hanno mostrato flussi pari a zero. Il flusso netto totale è stato di -$314.58M.
Dettaglio importante: il deflusso di BTC da solo è grosso modo equivalente a circa 7 giorni di fornitura di BTC estratto in un giorno. I flussi degli ETF possono muoversi più velocemente dell'emissione giornaliera, motivo per cui sono così importanti per l'azione dei prezzi a breve termine.
Poiché $BTC continua a essere scambiato come un asset macro, i grandi detentori di Ethereum stanno silenziosamente cambiando strategia. BitMNR, la più grande azienda di tesoreria Ethereum al mondo, ha ufficialmente iniziato lo staking di ETH - segnando un cambiamento importante nel modo in cui le tesorerie aziendali gestiscono le partecipazioni cripto a lungo termine.
Punti chiave:
- BitMNR ha depositato circa 74.880 $ETH nel sistema di proof-of-stake di Ethereum, del valore di quasi $219 milioni, secondo i dati on-chain condivisi da Arkham Intelligence.
- Questa è la prima volta che l'azienda ha effettuato staking di qualsiasi Ethereum. Fino ad ora, BitMNR ha mantenuto intatti i suoi massicci risparmi di ETH, facendo affidamento esclusivamente sull'apprezzamento del prezzo.
- I dati on-chain mostrano che BitMNR detiene circa 4,06 milioni di ETH, valutati quasi $11,9 miliardi - circa il 3,37% dell'offerta totale di Ethereum.
Con i rendimenti attuali dello staking intorno al 3,1%, lo staking del suo saldo totale potrebbe generare oltre 126.000 ETH all'anno, traducendosi in centinaia di milioni di potenziale rendimento ai prezzi attuali.
📌 La mossa segnala un cambiamento più ampio: i grandi detentori non stanno più solo scommettendo sul prezzo. Stanno iniziando a trattare Ethereum come un asset finanziario generatore di rendimento - non solo come uno speculativo.

BNB Chain prepares Fermi hard fork to make blocks faster
BNB Chain will activate the Fermi hard fork on Jan 14, 2026, following a successful testnet upgrade on Nov 10, 2025.
The goal is faster performance by cutting the block interval from 750 ms to 450 ms, which can improve transaction speed and overall network throughput.
If the rollout is smooth, this upgrade can support more time-sensitive apps and make the chain feel more responsive for everyday users.
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 rimane in un intervallo perché non può riconquistare i $90.000. Quella zona continua a respingere il prezzo ed è rinforzata da forti segnali tecnici come l'area di prezzo principale (POC) e il livello di Fibonacci 0,618.
BTC sta ancora negoziando all'interno dell'intervallo superiore di $97.500 a $80.500, ed è attualmente vicino al centro intorno a $87.000, il che di solito significa movimento lento e bassa volatilità.
Il supporto a $85.500 è la linea principale. Se regge, è probabile un'azione laterale. Se rompe in chiusura, il prezzo può spostarsi verso $80.500. #btc #bitcoin
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? #btc #bitcoin
