A widely followed crypto analyst believes that Bitcoin (BTC) is printing a similar 2020 bullish pattern. In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto trader Kaleo tells his 728,400 followers on X that Bitcoin may increase by more than 60% its current value next year. “I still believe the market is in a similar place to where it was in the fall of 2020. In both scenarios, BTC lost a key support line it had held dating back to the recovery from a major crash. This led to a mini-bart scenario where the price found a base for a new range after…

Ad Disclosure US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have shown net outflows in recent days, and that pull of money has added pressure to a market already under strain. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin traded around $88,750 at the time of recent reports, down about 27% from its all-time high of $125,100 hit on Oct. 5. Reports have disclosed that a record-sized Bitcoin options expiry landed on Friday, Dec. 26, and several analysts say that event effectively “pinned” price into a narrow range — at least until volatility returns.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is ending the year with major technological developments after a year that saw it gain significant adoption and milestones.On Dec. 24, Denis Angell, a lead software engineer at XRPL Labs, announced the integration of “post-quantum” cryptography and native smart contracts into AlphaNet, the project’s public developer network.The ‘Q-Day’ inevitabilityMost blockchain networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, secure user funds using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).This math works because current computers find it impossibly difficult to reverse the calculation and derive a private key from a public one. However, this security model relies on the limitations of classical physics.Quantum…

Silver left the $50 range in late November and went parabolic into year-end, registering consecutive all-time highs and hitting $72 an ounce on Dec. 24. Gold made a similar run throughout 2025, reaching $4,524.30 the same day.Bitcoin, however, traded at $87,498.12 as of press time, down roughly 8% for the year and 30% from its October peak of $126,000.For anyone who spent 2024 calling Bitcoin “digital gold” and expecting it to ride the same hard asset wave as precious metals, 2025 delivered an uncomfortable lesson: the macro currents that lift gold and silver don’t automatically carry crypto along for the…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure It’s the holiday season, and Bitcoin (BTC) is trading downwards after plunging toward the $87,000 region. Although the cryptocurrency has struggled for months, failing to reclaim key resistance levels, a crypto analyst believes Bitcoin could still stage a major Christmas rally. As the analyst outlines a potential roadmap for this projected upswing, he cautions that a further price crash to $80,000, or even lower, remains a strong possibility.  Bitcoin Risks Crash To $80,000 Crypto analyst RBswingtrader shared a Bitcoin market outlook on X the day before Christmas,…

In brief The stablecoin supply jumped $100 billion to a total of $314 billion in 2025. Tether leads in transaction activity, followed by Ripple’s RLUSD and Circle’s USDC. The Trump-backed USD1 reached the top 5 just months after April launch. This was a defining year for stablecoins, with the signing of the GENIUS Act, a high-flying IPO for Circle, and a handful of tokens outpacing the rest.Since the start of January, the overall U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin supply has increased by more than $100 billion, to $314 billion total. But that doesn’t mean all boats have risen at the same rate.To…

The year opened with a sitting president launching his own token three days before inauguration and closed with researchers proving that one of the year’s “comeback stories” was controlled by a few dozen wallets.Between those bookends, 2025 turned memecoins from niche absurdity into crypto’s most visible, and most embarrassing, corner. A sovereign leader rugpulled his citizens on Valentine’s Day, an AI chatbot’s fart jokes spawned a billion-dollar token, Dogecoin got two regulated ETFs, and the platform that minted 9.4 million tokens became the year’s de facto casino.What made these ten tokens iconic wasn’t quality or innovation, but their capacity to…

In brief DeepSeek’s ultra-low-cost AI model shattered the assumption that U.S. chip dominance would indefinitely suppress China’s AI ambitions, triggering a global tech realignment. By late 2025, the U.S. and China had severely decoupled their AI ecosystems—splitting hardware, software, standards, and supply chains—while embedding civilian AI advances into military doctrine. The rivalry extended beyond bilateral conflict, forcing allies and emerging economies to choose between American-led proprietary control and China’s open-source influence, all while rare earths, data centers, and defense contracts became frontline assets in a new cold war over intelligence itself. The great unraveling began with a single number: $256,000.…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Evernorth’s decision to build one of the largest known XRP treasuries has become one of the most closely watched institutional crypto experiments of 2025. What began as a high-conviction accumulation strategy has since evolved into a stress test of timing, volatility management, and long-term positioning in a market that has repeatedly punished short-term optimism. A High-Conviction XRP Treasury Meets Market Reality Evernorth accumulated approximately 388.7 million XRP between late October and late December 2025, deploying capital aggressively as XRP traded in a strong uptrend. At its peak,…

Crypto sentiment gauges have spent the past two months deep in the red. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has spent more than 30% of 2025 in fear or extreme fear territory, and alternative trackers put the market in a 10-25 range out of 100 since mid-November.Bitcoin is on track for its worst fourth quarter since 2018, many large altcoins are down up to 90% from their highs, and gold, silver, and major stock indices pushed to new highs in the same period.The mood is poisonous. Investors got all of the macro, the policy, the structural wins they’d been lobbying…

In brief Dogecoin spent 2025 caught between political controversy and corporate interest, falling sharply in price along the way. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency tied the meme coin to U.S. politics, briefly lifting prices before legal challenges and policy missteps pushed the initiative into obscurity. Public companies, treasury managers, and ETF issuers embraced DOGE, but heavy corporate momentum failed to produce a new all-time high, leaving the community focused on 2026 utility gains rather than speculation. It started as a joke, but this year, Dogecoin was embraced by institutions, bought up by public companies, and its namesake was shared…

This year opened with Bitcoin (BTC) proponents expecting a clean rally, driven by halving narratives, spot ETF momentum, and a Fed pivot all stacked neatly in their favor.Instead, the year closed with BTC stuck 30% below its October peak, North Korean hackers walking away with $2 billion, and the US government quietly building a digital Fort Knox out of seized coins.Between those bookends, crypto stopped being a speculative sideshow and started behaving like contested infrastructure: banks chartered stablecoin subsidiaries, Ethereum executed two hard forks that cut rollup fees in half, and Congress passed the first federal stablecoin law.Additionally, regulators in…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure An interesting round of institutional repositioning played out across crypto investment products last week, as nearly $1 billion exited the market following several weeks of steady inflows.  The latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report from CoinShares shows that the pullback was not evenly distributed. Capital rotated away from Bitcoin and Ethereum, while select altcoins like XRP and Solana continued to attract interest and inflows among institutional investors.
