Abstract

Twenty One Capital, a Bitcoin treasury company backed by Tether, SoftBank, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Strike CEO Jack Mallers, is preparing to transfer 43,500 BTC (valued at nearly $4 billion) from escrow to its own custody. The move is a key step ahead of its expected launch on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker XXI, with trading set to begin on December 9th. Mallers emphasized the company's commitment to transparency, rooted in Bitcoin's principles, and highlighted its proof-of-reserves system that allows public verification of its Bitcoin holdings. The merger is scheduled to be finalized on December 8th.

A Bitcoin treasury company built by Tether, SoftBank Group, Cantor Fitzgerald and Strike CEO Jack Mallers is preparing to transfer a huge amount of BTC.

According to Mallers, Twenty One Capital will soon move over 43,500 Bitcoin from escrow to its own custody ahead of an expected launch on the New York Stock Exchange.

The transfer, valued at $3,987,879,465 at time of publishing, will support the final steps of the firm’s merger.

Mallers announced the move in a video on X, stressing transparency as a core value drawn from Bitcoin.

“We derive our corporate culture, what motivates us – our business is derived from Bitcoin. Things like truth, transparency, authenticity.

As a part of this, we launched proof of reserves earlier this year. Proof of reserves allows anyone in the world, whether you’re a shareholder or not, to verify we do in fact own the Bitcoin we say we do.”

The Bitcoin-native company expects to finalize the merger on December 8th, and begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker XXI on December 9th.

TOXR gets green light – All about 21Shares’ low-fee XRP ETF

After years of regulatory uncertainty, Ripple (XRP) has gained significant institutional validation in the U.S. with the approval of the 21Shares XRP ETF (TOXR) by the CBOE BZX Exchange. This brings the total number of U.S. spot XRP-related ETFs to five, accelerating capital inflow toward the $1 billion mark. 21Shares enters the market with a competitive edge, offering a low annual sponsor fee of 0.3% and tracks the CME CF XRP‐Dollar Reference Rate. While the fund’s listing is approved, its S-1 registration still carries a “delaying amendment,” awaiting final SEC approval or a CERT notice. Despite a recent 2.44% price drop to $2.01, XRP’s institutional foundation is strengthening, though short-term market momentum remains cautious.

Ethereum "Cooling Off" to Build Momentum? ETF Funds Quietly Flow Back, Is the Historic Rally Script About to Play Out Again?

Ethereum's price has been consolidating near $3,200 after facing resistance between $3,350 and $3,650, a zone reinforced by the 200-day EMA. Despite this, signs of recovery are emerging in spot ETF flows. Since November 21, ETH ETF assets under management have increased by 28%, from $16.8 billion to $21.5 billion, indicating a gradual return of buyer interest. Although net flows remain negative at -$138 million, this marks a significant improvement from October’s -$500 million, suggesting weakening selling pressure. The 30-day moving average of net active buying is also rising, resembling a pattern seen in early 2025 that preceded a major price surge. On the 4-hour chart, ETH is testing a key demand zone between $3,100 and $3,180. A hold above this level could lead to a retest of the 200-day EMA and a breakout toward $3,900. However, a breakdown may trigger a drop toward $3,000. Derivatives data shows neutral sentiment with mild funding rates and open interest, indicating cautious optimism. The key for Ethereum’s next major move depends on sustained defense at current support levels, coupled with growing ETF inflows and active buying momentum.

Bankless | Hyperliquid's Epic Battle in 2025, Can It Hold Its Ground in 2026?

Hyperliquid dominated the perpetual futures exchange landscape in 2025, rising from a major airdrop in late 2024 to become the fourth-largest crypto ecosystem by revenue, earning over $650 million and at one point capturing 70% of all perp trading volume. Its success was driven by a crypto-native strategy, including quickly listing trending tokens like TRUMP, the launch of its HyperEVM smart contract layer, and key integrations with major wallets like Phantom and MetaMask via its builder codes program. However, facing rising competition from platforms like Aster and Lighter, along with an automatic deleveraging (ADL) event and team token unlocks in Q4, Hyperliquid’s market share fell to around 17% by year-end. The question for 2026 is whether it can maintain its lead through organic growth and decentralization as the perp market grows more competitive.

South Korea’s Stablecoin Legislation Hits Roadblock As FSC Misses December 10 Deadline

South Korea's government has missed the December 10 deadline to submit its stablecoin legislation, the second phase of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act. The delay stems from a disagreement between the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Bank of Korea (BOK) over the role of banks in issuing won-pegged stablecoins. The BOK insists a bank consortium must own at least 51% of any issuer, while the FSC wants to involve diverse players, including tech firms, to foster innovation. This impasse risks prolonging the legislative process. Multiple rival bills have already been proposed in the National Assembly, with key differences including whether to allow interest payments on stablecoins, a practice the FSC chairman has stated will be "fundamentally prohibited."

Digital Asset Vaults Lose Their Luster: Twenty One's Stock Plunges 20% on First Trading Day

Twenty One Capital, a Bitcoin-focused treasury company backed by Tether and SoftBank, saw its shares plunge approximately 20% on its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The sharp decline reflects investor skepticism toward the valuation and business model of Bitcoin treasury companies amid a significant cryptocurrency market downturn. The company, led by 31-year-old CEO Jack Mallers, holds around 43,500 BTC. However, Bitcoin holdings have fallen over 25% since October’s all-time high near $126,000, putting pressure on the "digital asset treasury" (DAT) model. Despite its large Bitcoin reserve and strong backers, investors remain cautious due to unclear revenue paths and heavy reliance on Bitcoin’s volatile price. Twenty One went public via a merger with SPAC Cantor Equity. Unlike traditional companies, its valuation is almost entirely tied to its Bitcoin holdings, using metrics like "Bitcoin per Share" (BPS). Yet, the firm has not detailed how it will generate sustainable profits beyond holding Bitcoin. The sell-off reflects broader pressures on crypto-linked stocks. Other Bitcoin-heavy companies like Metaplanet, Trump Media, and Empery Digital also face millions in unrealized losses and falling share prices as Bitcoin corrects. The debut underscores high volatility and valuation risks in crypto investing. Despite innovation and institutional support, long-term viability requires transparent business models and clear profitability strategies—lessons even high-profile crypto firms must heed.
