El Salvador’s Bitcoin aspirations were brought closer to earth in 2025

El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, faced significant challenges in 2025 as its ambitious crypto plans met economic and institutional resistance. Despite initial efforts like the state-backed Chivo Wallet and $30 sign-up incentives, public usage remained low. The country’s need for a $1.4 billion IMF loan forced a policy shift: Bitcoin acceptance became voluntary, and taxes were required in US dollars. However, President Nayib Bukele continued purchasing Bitcoin, accumulating 6,367 BTC (worth over $588 million) by December 2025, despite IMF pressure. While crypto businesses like Tether and Bitfinex expanded operations in El Salvador due to favorable regulations, critics argued that without broader public education and adoption, the government’s Bitcoin strategy primarily benefited itself rather than the people.

Leaving the Crypto World for AI: Is It Really a Clear-Headed Choice?

The author observes a growing trend of people exiting the Web3 space to fully commit to AI, but argues against this binary choice. Instead, the piece advocates for finding synergies between AI and Crypto, identifying AI × Crypto as an underestimated, foundational sector. Examples include AI agents, on-chain data, decentralized computing, AI payments, and stablecoins. The article refutes the notion that the crypto industry is dead, citing historical cycles like the post-2018 ICO crash followed by the 2020 DeFi Summer. It highlights irreversible trends such as stock tokenization by Nasdaq, blockchain exploration by SWIFT, and stablecoins capturing ~15% of cross-border payments. While emphasizing that learning AI is essential to avoid obsolescence, the author cautions against viewing it as a guaranteed path to wealth. AI is a tool that lowers startup barriers but raises the bar for success, potentially accelerating wealth concentration in centralized companies. The piece notes the monumental returns of AI stocks like NVIDIA (200-300x in 10 years) and early private investments, but points out that such opportunities are largely inaccessible to retail investors. For them, early-stage opportunities remain more viable in Web3. The conclusion recommends continuing to learn both Web3 and AI in 2026, researching AI stocks, and focusing on the intersection of AI and Crypto. The key is not to abandon crypto but to upgrade one's cognitive framework.

Coinbase and Gemini Blocked in the Philippines Amid Crackdown on Unregistered Exchanges

The central bank of the Philippines (BSP) has ordered internet service providers to block access to unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges. Among the first to be affected are major global platforms Coinbase and Gemini. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) acted on a BSP directive that identified 50 unlicensed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). This crackdown is part of the enforcement of the VASP licensing framework established by the BSP in 2021. Despite the regulations, many large offshore exchanges have not sought the necessary licenses to operate in the country. The action follows a similar block imposed on Binance in 2024. Other prominent exchanges on the regulator's list include OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, and MEXC. As of now, only a few platforms, such as local exchanges Coins.ph and PDAX, are fully licensed to offer crypto services in the Philippines. Regulators have stated that foreign exchanges are welcome to apply for a license but must establish a local presence and comply with all regulatory requirements.

XDC stalls below $0.051 – Why THIS price range matters next

XDC Network (XDC) continues to trade in a bearish trend, facing rejection at the key $0.051 resistance level on December 20th. The price has been consolidating between $0.045 and $0.051, with a break below $0.046 potentially leading to further declines. A daily close above $0.0518 is needed to signal a bullish shift. Weak buying pressure and Bitcoin's rejection at $90k have contributed to XDC's stagnation. Key resistance levels to watch are $0.0489, $0.0496, and $0.0506, while bearish targets lie at $0.0446 and $0.0424. The overall structure remains bearish unless buying pressure increases significantly.

SEI Price Battle: Is It Sliding Toward $0.106 or Rallying Toward $0.115?

The crypto market's bearish trend is impacting SEI, which has declined over 2% in 24 hours, currently trading around $0.1083. Key support lies at $0.106; holding above it could allow a rally toward $0.113–$0.115, while a break below may trigger further declines. Technical indicators show bearish momentum: the MACD is negative, RSI at 39.72 suggests weak bearish pressure, and the CMF indicates market indecision. SEI's Bull-Bear Power shows slight bearish control but with low conviction, potentially leading to consolidation. If selling continues, prices could drop toward $0.1037, while a recovery might push SEI to $0.1106 or higher to $0.1129.

From Left-Hand to Right-Hand Related-Party Transactions to Infiltrating Wall Street and the White House: What Power Game Is Tether Playing?

Recent reports reveal Tether's complex internal transactions and growing political ties, raising questions about its corporate governance and influence. Tether’s subsidiary Northern Data sold its bitcoin mining unit, Peak Mining, for $200 million to entities controlled by Tether’s own executives—co-founder Giancarlo Devasini and CEO Paolo Ardoino. This “left-hand-to-right-hand” deal, structured through loosely regulated markets, avoided disclosure as a related-party transaction. The timing coincided with Rumble’s $760 million acquisition plan for Northern Data. Tether, which holds 48% of Rumble, appears to have stripped high-volatility mining assets to present Northern Data as a pure AI cloud provider, likely boosting its valuation. A €610 million loan from Tether to Northern Data was reconfigured in the deal—partly converted into Rumble shares and partly into a new loan backed by Northern Data’s assets. Tether also has deep ties with Wall Street and U.S. politics. Cantor Fitzgerald’s CEO Howard Lutnick, now U.S. Secretary of Commerce, previously backed Tether’s reserves and negotiated a $600 million convertible note deal—a move criticized as a conflict of interest. Despite Lutnick’s assurances of stricter oversight, concerns remain about Tether’s influence. With an estimated $15 billion profit at a 99% margin this year, Tether is expanding into AI, media, and even sports. Critics question whether its profits serve the crypto ecosystem or a closed wealth cycle for its executives. Through strategic deals and political connections, Tether is building an empire that merges financial power with regulatory influence.

Arthur Hayes Claims Bitcoin Will Rally to $200,000, Despite Crypto Becoming ‘Worst Performing’ Asset of 2025

Arthur Hayes, a millionaire investor, predicts Bitcoin could surge to $200,000 despite cryptocurrencies being the worst-performing asset class in 2025. He attributes this potential rally to the Federal Reserve’s Reserve Management Purchases (RMP) program, which he equates to quantitative easing, arguing it will inject significant liquidity into markets. Hayes expects Bitcoin to trade between $80,000 and $100,000 until the new year before sharply rising as investors recognize the scale of monetary expansion. He also anticipates further support from global central banks easing policies. However, crypto has underperformed traditional assets like gold and silver this year, with Bitcoin down 6% year-to-date. Technical analysts warn Bitcoin may still face a corrective phase, with potential downside toward $69,000–$71,400, and note that holiday trading rarely alters broader market trends.

How the Base Blockchain Ecosystem Works. Top 5 Applications

Base, a Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase exchange, has become the largest L2 protocol by total value locked (TVL) in 2025, with over $4.35 billion in user deposits. A key differentiator is its lack of a native token, though its development team has confirmed plans to issue one. Base also led all L2s in cumulative revenue, generating over $80 million, and is second only to BNB Chain in monthly active users. The article highlights five key applications in its ecosystem: 1. **Aerodrome**: The leading DEX on Base with $440 million in deposits, operating on a ve(3,3) model. It is the primary liquidity hub and plans to merge with Velodrome. 2. **Virtuals Protocol**: A platform for creating, tokenizing, and monetizing autonomous AI agents, forming an "agent economy" powered by its VIRTUAL token. 3. **Clanker**: An AI agent tool for instantly deploying memecoins via text prompts on Farcaster, having launched over 500,000 tokens and generating nearly $50 million in fees. 4. **Limitless**: The largest prediction market on Base, with over $550 million in volume, allowing users to bet on event outcomes. 5. **Zora**: A social network that transforms user content into tradable tokens on Base, with creators earning a share of trading fees. Its integration with the Base App has increased its prominence. The ecosystem is noted for its high user activity and significant financial metrics, positioning Base as a major player in the L2 space.

Three signs that Bitcoin is finding its market bottom

Bitcoin (BTC) may be approaching a local bottom after falling over 35% from its recent all-time high. Key signals suggest selling pressure is fading. The weekly Stochastic RSI has turned up from oversold levels—a pattern seen near major historical bottoms. A bullish divergence on the three-day chart, where price made a lower but momentum did not, further supports this. Miners are showing signs of capitulation, with a 4% drop in hash rate over 30 days—a historically bullish signal that has preceded strong medium-term returns. Macro conditions also hint at a potential reversal. The National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) suggests a Bitcoin rally could begin within 4–6 weeks, similar to past cycles. Despite these positive signs, some analysts still predict further downside, with targets as low as $70,000–$25,000.

Calm on the Crypto Market. Why and What's Next

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a period of calm, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices showing minimal movement, down less than 1% to approximately $87,000 and $2,930 respectively. The majority of the top 100 cryptocurrencies saw price changes within a narrow 4% range, while the total market cap held steady near $2.95 trillion. Analysts from Wintermute note that despite sustained demand from institutional investors, retail traders are shifting from altcoins to Bitcoin and Ethereum, a move attributed to reduced liquidity ahead of the holidays. They argue that this institutional adoption lays a foundation for mid-term price growth, but emphasize that a Bitcoin rally must occur first to renew investor interest in riskier altcoins. This cautiously optimistic outlook is supported by VanEck, whose analysts predict a high likelihood of price increases in the next six months based on historical correlations between Bitcoin's hash rate and its price. However, short-term sentiment remains negative. The crypto fear and greed index is in the "extreme fear" zone at 24/100, indicating a prevailing tendency toward selling. This is reflected in capital outflows, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing a net outflow of nearly $188 million and Ethereum ETFs losing $95 million on December 23rd, marking the third consecutive session of outflows for Bitcoin funds.
