How the Central Bank Will Regulate Cryptocurrencies in Russia. The Main Points

The Central Bank of Russia has published a concept for regulating cryptocurrencies and digital assets, with legislative changes proposed to the government. While crypto assets can be purchased by both qualified and unqualified investors, they are recognized as high-risk and cannot be used for domestic payments. Key regulations include: Unqualified investors can only buy the most liquid cryptocurrencies after passing a test, with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles per intermediary. Qualified investors can purchase any non-anonymous cryptocurrencies without volume limits, also after risk testing. Operations will be conducted through existing licensed infrastructure like exchanges and brokers. Residents can buy crypto abroad using foreign accounts and transfer previously purchased crypto overseas through Russian intermediaries, but must notify the tax service. The legal framework is to be prepared by July 1, 2026, with penalties for illegal intermediary activities effective from July 1, 2027. The regulation also covers the market for Russian Digital Financial Assets (DFAs), permitting their circulation on open networks to allow issuers to attract foreign investment. DFAs, distinct from cryptocurrencies, are tokenized versions of real assets issued on private blockchains by approved operators.

Why Ethereum’s 2026 outlook weakens after $555M ETH outflow

Ethereum faces a weakened 2026 outlook following a significant $555 million outflow from ETH-linked products last week, marking the first weekly withdrawal in a month. This outflow, primarily driven by U.S. investors, is attributed to regulatory uncertainties, including delays in the U.S. Clarity Act. Despite exchange balances hitting a seven-year low, indicating long-term holding sentiment, Ethereum continues to underperform Bitcoin. The ETH-BTC composite indicator remains negative, reflecting Bitcoin's dominance in liquidity and risk appetite. Technical analysis shows ETH trapped below $3,000 with weak bullish signals, suggesting limited upward momentum unless it reclaims $3,300. An Ethereum-led altseason appears unlikely under current conditions.

Year-End Liquidity Squeeze Keeps Bitcoin Capped Despite Rising Demand and Fed Cut Bets

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading within a narrow range around the high-$80,000s as thin year-end liquidity and cautious positioning offset improving demand signals. Prices are hovering near the breakeven point for many U.S. spot ETF holders, creating a key resistance zone. On-chain activity shows consolidation rather than strong buying or panic selling. While exchange outflows and whale accumulation suggest underlying demand, a clear breakout catalyst is lacking amid low holiday trading volumes. Gold’s meanwhile, has reached new all-time highs, reflecting a preference for traditional safe havens. Bitcoin may remain range-bound until liquidity improves in early 2026, despite growing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

PANews Crypto Year-End Review: A Visual Guide to Asset Returns from 2015–2025!

PANews Crypto Year-End Review: A Look at Asset Returns from 2015–2025 Bitcoin reached new all-time highs multiple times in 2025, but a longer-term comparison reveals an awkward truth: this year, BTC underperformed compared to gold, U.S. stocks, and even many traditional assets. While prices hit record levels, the perceived experience has worsened—one of the most relatable sentiments in crypto this year. As Bitcoin is no longer the default "best-performing asset of the year," crypto is shifting from a high-growth investment to a risk asset that is constantly compared and strictly priced. This may be the real challenge the crypto industry faces in 2025: Are we enduring a temporary phase, or are we saying goodbye to the era where "simply participating guaranteed returns"?

Bitcoin’s Post-Quantum Shift Could Take A Decade, Crypto Exec Says

A debate is emerging regarding the quantum computing threat to Bitcoin and its potential market impact. While some investors, like Capriole's Charles Edwards, warn it could push Bitcoin below $50,000 by 2028 if unaddressed, developers urge caution. Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp and Blockstream CEO Adam Back agree the threat is not immediate, but a migration to post-quantum cryptography could take 5-10 years due to the protocol's complexity and need for widespread coordination. The community is split; some VCs see imminent risk, while long-time advocates like Pierre Rochard question the urgency. Upgrading Bitcoin's cryptography is a massive undertaking, involving proposals like BIP 360, but enforcement and coordination remain significant challenges. The call is for funding research and building migration tools, as price concerns turn the issue from academic to practical.

2025: DeFi Completes Its 'Coming of Age', Three Turning Points Define the New Landscape

2025 marked a maturation phase for DeFi, characterized by clearer credit cycles, growing institutional inflows, and more robust trading venues. On-chain credit expansion resumed in the second half of the year, driven by renewed risk appetite. Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization saw explosive growth, with public-market RWAs surging from $5.6B to $16.7B, led by tokenized U.S. Treasuries and commodities. Perpetual DEXs hit record volumes, capturing 18.7% of total perp trading volume, as platforms like Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aster competed aggressively. Prediction markets also gained traction, with Polymarket and Kalshi attracting major institutional investments. However, spot DEX activity remained subdued and shifted across chains, with Solana-based volumes declining significantly while BNB Chain absorbed retail speculation. Composability also introduced systemic risks, as seen in the November collapse of Stream Finance, which triggered contagion across interconnected protocols. Overall, DeFi in 2025 moved toward a more sustainable equilibrium, with mature primitives and expanding institutional adoption setting the stage for future growth—though macro conditions and risk management remain critical.

Ethereum Derivatives See Heavy Unwind As Open Interest Falls Hard – A Leveraged Flush?

Amidst a volatile market, Ethereum's price briefly reclaimed $3,000, but its derivatives market is signaling a significant shift. Open Interest (OI) has plummeted by 50% since August, indicating a massive unwind of leveraged positions and a sharp decline in trader risk appetite. This drop, observed across major exchanges like Binance (-31%), suggests robust market deleveraging and a lower probability of explosive short-term price moves. Concurrently, ETH withdrawals from exchanges have spiked to multi-year lows, reducing immediate sell pressure. While this points to a more cautious, consolidating market, such a flush of leverage has historically preceded major structural shifts.

DAT: The Evolution of Digital Asset Treasuries as Strategic Assets for Crypto Enterprises

By the end of 2025, the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) remains a significant corporate trend in the crypto industry, evolving from passive market participation to a strategic resource integrated into long-term enterprise planning. Companies are increasingly incorporating digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum into their balance sheets, shifting focus from mere accumulation to rational asset allocation, risk management, and strategic engagement with blockchain ecosystems. DAT strategies now emphasize diversification, cash flow stability, and participation in on-chain governance, staking, and lending, transforming digital assets into tools for operational resilience and ecosystem influence. Market structure is maturing, with indices like MSCI raising standards for transparency and governance, moving from asset-driven to capability-driven evaluations. Enterprises demonstrating robust risk controls, diversified portfolios, and synergistic business-ecosystem integration show greater resilience. The industry is experiencing differentiation: firms with clear strategic frameworks and sustainable practices are gaining competitive edges, while those reliant on single assets or market sentiment face constraints. Ultimately, DAT's value lies not in the volume of assets held but in the ability to embed them within a coherent strategy, sound governance, and active ecological participation, marking a shift from financial instruments to key strategic resources in corporate growth.

BTC Medium-Term Trend Weakens, Short-Term Volatility Fails to Mask Directional Risks | Guest Analysis

This analysis by Odaily's guest analyst Conaldo examines Bitcoin's (BTC) current market stance, highlighting a weakening medium-term trend and short-term consolidation with directional risks. The core view is that BTC is in a corrective phase after breaking its long-term bullish trend line (since late 2022) and is now constrained by both this and a descending trend line from the October 2025 high. Until a significant volume-backed breakout occurs above these key levels, any price rises should be considered rebounds within a bearish structure. Last week's prediction of a shift to a consolidation pattern was accurate, with price oscillating in the $87.5K–$89K zone. The analyst successfully executed four short-term trades based on a quant model, yielding a 2.14% return. Technical analysis using weekly and daily charts (incorporating momentum and sentiment quant models) indicates BTC remains in a bearish market on both timeframes, with weak buying momentum and neutral sentiment, suggesting continued consolidation and downside risk. For the upcoming week (Dec 22–28), the market is expected to see wide-range fluctuations. The key area to watch is $89.5K–$91K. A breakdown could lead to deeper correction, while holding could allow for a limited rebound. Specific short-term trading plans (A and B) are outlined for both scenarios, involving 30% short positions with precise entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels. Key macro events this week include reduced holiday liquidity, potential Fed chair nomination news, US Q3 GDP and PCE data, and BoJ communications, all of which could impact market volatility. The analyst emphasizes strict risk management, including moving stop-losses to breakeven after a 1% profit. All views are for informational purposes only; DYOR.
