Altcoin market bleeds 36% as capital hides in BTC – What changes next?

The altcoin market has experienced a significant decline, with Total2 falling approximately 36% since early October, and smaller altcoins dropping nearly 46% in three months. Market breadth reflects this stress, with only about 3% of altcoins on Binance trading above their 200-day moving average. Altcoin dominance has hit a five-year low as capital shifts to Bitcoin, which continues to attract inflows due to its liquidity and perceived stability. This risk-averse behavior has resulted in brief, low-volume altcoin rallies with limited follow-through. Looking ahead, a macro catalyst may emerge as the Federal Reserve injects $6.8 billion into markets this week, bringing total recent injections to around $38 billion. If this eases financial conditions, Bitcoin is likely to benefit first, with altcoins potentially following if risk appetite returns. While continued weakness is possible, a slow recovery may occur, with 2026 eyed as a potential turnaround year, possibly led by Ethereum as a harbinger of altseason.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Stay Resilient, But Profits Haven’t Fully Arrived – Here’s What To Know

Bitcoin's price has struggled to break above the $90,000 level, leaving long-term holders without significant profits despite their resilience. These investors, holding 13.6 million BTC worth $1.2 trillion, are waiting for stronger gains, as the price remains below the $100,000 mark. Market analyst CW notes that their patience may soon shift if the market rebounds, potentially transferring holdings to short-term holders and signaling a cycle peak. Meanwhile, on-chain activity has slowed, with the Cumulative Volume Delta indicator showing a balance between buying and selling pressure, suggesting consolidation. A key resistance level is forming at $94,000, and without increased activity from large holders, the downward trend may continue.

Will Solana Flip Ethereum? Revenue Numbers Show Disturbing Trend

Solana is on track to surpass Ethereum in annual revenue for the first time, with $1.4 billion year-to-date compared to Ethereum's $522 million. This represents a significant shift, as Ethereum's revenue has declined by around 90% over five years, while Solana's has surged by approximately 5,000%. Key contributors to Solana's growth include dApps like Pump.fun, Jupiter, and Phantom, along with user base fees. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko emphasized the importance of providing a superior execution layer for decentralized applications. Despite a recent drop in meme coin trading activity, which previously drove user engagement, analysts suggest growing stablecoin usage and tokenized equities—such as those from Galaxy Digital and Visa's planned USDC settlements—may sustain Solana's momentum. Critics point to reduced monthly traders, but proponents believe new user bases will emerge.

David Sacks calls CFTC, SEC picks a crypto regulation ‘dream team‘

David Sacks, the US President's AI and crypto czar, has called the appointments of Michael Selig as CFTC Chair and Paul Atkins as SEC Chair a "dream team" for crypto regulation. This follows Selig's confirmation and his statement that Congress is preparing to complete a crypto market structure bill, which aims to cement the U.S. as the "Crypto Capital of the World." The bill, known as the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, is currently on hold during the holiday break but is expected to be marked up by the Senate Banking Committee in early January. The legislation is anticipated to grant the CFTC more authority over digital assets, a shift from the SEC's previous dominant role.

IBIT drew $25B yet fell 9.5% – Bitcoin ETF slowdown explained!

Despite attracting substantial capital inflows of $25.4 billion in 2025, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a 9.59% year-to-date drawdown, making it the only ETF on the Flow Leaderboard with negative returns. This underperformance occurred amid a broader slowdown in Bitcoin ETF flows, with total net assets dropping $36 billion from their peak to $114 billion. The decline reflects reduced institutional risk appetite and capital outflows during Bitcoin's extended weakness in Q4. However, the significant inflows during a challenging period suggest persistent investor conviction in Bitcoin rather than structural demand erosion. A recovery in institutional demand could restore ETF performance once market conditions stabilize.

XRP ETFs Attract Global Pension Funds And Insurers, Canary CEO Reveals

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg reports that XRP ETFs are attracting significant institutional interest, including from global pension funds and insurance companies, alongside retail investors. He notes that while retail adoption surged in the initial weeks, institutional and fast-moving capital now represents about 70% of flows. McClurg attributes the success to XRP's role as understandable financial infrastructure and the cost efficiency of the ETF structure, which reduces trading fees and complexity compared to direct crypto exchanges. He also highlights the importance of the basis trade in driving demand, emphasizing that the XRP ETF has not experienced a single day of outflows since launch, even during market downturns.

XRP sentiment turns deeply negative — and history says that’s when prices bounce

According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, XRP sentiment has turned deeply negative, with social media commentary plunging into the "fear zone"—a historically bullish signal that has often preceded price bounces. This shift in sentiment coincides with XRP stabilizing at a key support zone between $1.83–$1.87, where buyers have previously stepped in. Technical indicators show selling pressure easing, with the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator moving toward positive territory, suggesting capital is returning. Key resistance levels to watch are $1.97–$2.03 and $2.15, while a break below support could lead to a decline toward $1.65. The combination of washed-out sentiment, holding major support, and returning inflows suggests a higher probability of a near-term price rebound.

How US banks are quietly preparing for an onchain future

US banks are methodically preparing for an onchain future by focusing on tokenizing traditional financial products like deposits, funds, and custody services, rather than speculative crypto assets. Key initiatives include JPMorgan’s JPM Coin and Citi’s Token Services for institutional payments, as well as experiments with tokenized money market funds and real-world assets. These efforts are largely occurring in wholesale payments and settlement, with strong regulatory oversight. Major banks are also building compliant custody solutions for digital assets. Regulators are permitting these activities within tightly supervised frameworks, emphasizing risk management and operational resilience. This incremental shift is reshaping financial infrastructure with embedded automation, real-time settlement, and reduced counterparty risk.

Tokenized US Treasurys surge 50x since 2024, marking shift toward on-chain finance

Tokenized US Treasurys have experienced explosive growth, surging 50x from under $200 million in January 2024 to nearly $7 billion by late 2025. This rapid expansion is driven by rising institutional demand for on-chain yield and marks a significant shift toward blockchain-based finance. BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) leads this market with almost $2 billion in assets, offering daily yield accrual and on-chain settlement. Other key products include offerings from Circle, Superstate, and Ondo Finance. Tokenized Treasury bills are becoming a crucial gateway for institutional DeFi adoption, combining the safety of US government debt with the efficiency of blockchain settlement. They are increasingly used for collateral management, margining, and improving capital efficiency.
