ETHZilla moves into onchain housing finance with 15% Zippy acquisition

ETHZilla (ETHZ) has acquired a 15% stake in digital housing lender Zippy for $5 million in cash and $16.1 million in stock, marking its second acquisition in a week as part of a broader move into real-world asset (RWA) markets. The partnership aims to integrate Zippy’s loan-origination and AI-powered systems with ETHZilla’s tokenization platform to bring manufactured-home loans onchain. As part of the deal, ETHZilla gains a board seat and a 36-month exclusivity agreement with Zippy. Despite this expansion, ETHZilla’s stock has declined roughly 10% following the announcement, continuing a downward trend seen across several Ether treasury companies amid falling ETH prices.

Belarus Restricts Access to Major Cryptocurrency Exchange Websites

Belarus has restricted access to several major cryptocurrency exchange websites, including Bybit, Bitget, and OKX, as reported by the local news portal Onliner. The decision was made by the country's Ministry of Information, and the website addresses have been added to a restricted access list maintained by the state telecommunications supervision enterprise, BelGIE. Attempts to access Bybit via local internet service providers result in a block page citing the Ministry's decision based on the Law on Mass Media. Notably, the websites of other major exchanges, including Binance, Kucoin, and MEXC, remained accessible for viewing and login as of 22:30 Moscow time. The report also highlights that the restriction lists do not include the addresses for Binance and Kucoin. This move follows a recent announcement from the end of November that Belarus has introduced centralized registers of crypto wallets used for obtaining illicit income, as stated by the Chairman of the State Control Committee, Vasily Gerasimov.

Conflicted Fed cuts rates but Bitcoin’s ‘fragile range’ pins BTC under $100K

The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, aligning with expectations, though internal divisions were reflected in a hawkish tone. Bitcoin briefly rallied above $94,000 pre-announcement but remains stuck in a fragile range below $100,000. According to Glassnode, BTC is constrained between key levels at $102,700 and $81,300, with growing unrealized losses and significant realized losses of $555 million per day—the highest since FTX's collapse. Long-term holders are taking substantial profits, while spot-led rallies lack leverage support. The Fed’s rate cuts may not provide short-term bullish momentum, and time is running out for a $100,000 reclaim as structural pressures mount.

Federal Reserve cuts rates by 25bps in first decisive pivot—what it means for crypto markets

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points on 10 December, shifting its policy stance toward easing amid rising employment risks and moderating inflation. The FOMC lowered the federal funds target range to 3.50–3.75%, emphasizing growing uncertainty and increased downside risks to the labor market. While inflation remains elevated, the Fed signaled that recession concerns now outweigh price pressures. The rate cut is expected to lower funding costs, weaken the dollar, and boost risk assets like Bitcoin. Crypto markets may benefit from improved liquidity if this marks the start of a sustained easing cycle. Further guidance from Chair Powell and upcoming economic data will determine the policy trajectory.

Full Text of the Fed Decision: 25 Basis Point Rate Cut, $40 Billion Treasury Bill Purchases Within 30 Days

The Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.50%-3.75% on December 10, 2025, marking the third consecutive rate cut. The decision was approved by a 9-3 vote. The policy statement removed the description of unemployment as "low," and the latest dot plot maintained the projection of an additional 25 basis point rate cut in 2026. Additionally, the Fed will purchase $40 billion in Treasury bills over 30 days starting December 12 to maintain ample reserve levels. The policy stance reflects concerns over moderating economic activity, a rise in unemployment, and inflation that remains elevated. The committee emphasized its commitment to achieving maximum employment and a 2% inflation target, noting increased downside risks to employment. Voting against the decision were Stephen Miran, who preferred a 50 basis point cut, and Austan Goolsbee and Jeffrey Schmid, who favored no change. The Board also unanimously approved a reduction in the primary credit rate to 3.75%.
