While the broader market remains cautious, XRP ETFs continue to attract steady inflows.
Over just two days, spot XRP ETFs added 10.8M XRP with no recorded outflows. Total ETF holdings have now reached 756M XRP, extending a 29-day inflow streak.
Most of the demand came from Bitwise and Franklin, with Grayscale also adding exposure. In contrast, BTC and ETH ETFs experienced net outflows throughout December.
The data suggests quiet accumulation rather than speculative inflows.1311
Spot ETF flows on Dec. 31 (ET) showed continued pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $348M in net outflows, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also saw $72.06M in net outflows, with all nine ETFs posting zero inflows.
In contrast, Solana spot ETFs recorded $2.29M in net inflows, while XRP spot ETFs saw $5.58M in inflows.
The data shows risk still coming out of BTC and ETH ETFs, while selective interest remains in certain altcoin products.83
Grayscale’s 2026 outlook expects Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs in the first half of 2026 and notes that the 20 millionth BTC is projected to be mined around March 2026.
The main message is simple: 2026 could be driven more by real build-out than speculation, especially as crypto keeps integrating into traditional finance and regulation continues to mature.
Bitcoin is once again trading near the upper Bear Band, a level that has historically appeared late in market cycles.
While price remains above long-term trend support, momentum is starting to flatten. In previous cycles, similar conditions often resulted in a prolonged distribution phase rather than immediate continuation.
If the market follows historical patterns, potential mean-reversion zones may appear around $62K, $43K, and $27K.
This does not imply an immediate crash. Instead, it suggests compressed risk, where upside becomes harder and downside sensitivity increases.
According to Token Terminal, developers deployed 8.7 million new smart contracts, the highest quarterly total in the network’s history. This marks a strong recovery after weaker activity in the previous two quarters.
The growth was driven by stablecoin usage, real-world asset tokenization, and infrastructure development. Contract deployment often acts as a leading indicator, appearing before increases in users, transactions, and network fees.
Ethereum is increasingly positioning itself as a global settlement layer for on-chain finance.
Bitcoin long-term holders have turned positive, meaning fewer coins are being sold. This often suggests that investors are choosing to hold rather than exit positions, which can reflect improving confidence in the market. $BTC
⚠️ BlackRock moved over $200M in BTC and ETH as ETF pressure continued.
On-chain data shows 2,201 BTC and 7,557 ETH were sent to Coinbase Prime in late December. This happened on the same day Bitcoin ETFs saw –$275.9M in net outflows, led by IBIT.
This doesn’t automatically mean selling, but when moves like this happen during ongoing outflows, it usually signals a more cautious approach. Big players often adjust positions quietly before making larger decisions.
It could be routine management, or simply staying flexible in an uncertain market. Either way, it’s something worth keeping an eye on rather than jumping to conclusions.
Just sharing an observation — curious how others are reading this. #BTC #ETH
Recent data shows more than 6 million wallets hold 500 XRP or less, while a small group of large wallets controls a big share of supply. As price rises, this gap becomes more visible.
Buying 1,000 XRP now costs much more than a year ago, which makes steady accumulation harder for retail investors. Large holders feel this far less.
Some community members say supply is not tight, pointing to roughly 16B XRP on exchanges. Others, including crypto lawyer Bill Morgan, argue XRP still mainly moves with Bitcoin’s direction, not wallet distribution.
The key takeaway: higher prices change who can accumulate, but BTC still leads the market.
California has proposed a 5% billionaire wealth tax, and it’s raising serious concerns in the crypto industry.
The tax targets unrealized gains, including crypto holdings and startup equity that hasn’t been sold. This could pressure founders and long-term holders who have paper wealth but limited liquidity.
Many crypto leaders warn this kind of policy may push innovation outside the US, as capital and talent become more mobile.
At the same time, some firms are still expanding into the US, showing the situation is complex and still evolving.
The bigger question is whether the US can stay competitive in a global, digital economy. #BTC
Dogecoin has shown in past market cycles that it can attract strong attention when overall sentiment turns positive. During periods of high activity, it often benefits from increased participation across the crypto space. From a technical point of view, reaching higher levels depends less on short-term moves and more on steady demand over time. With a large circulating supply, consistent interest and real usage matter more than brief hype. Historically, DOGE tends to perform better when Bitcoin leads the market and confidence spreads into higher-risk assets. This pattern highlights how closely sentiment and liquidity shape its performance. In the end, it’s not just about price targets, but about timing, market conditions, and long-term engagement. What do you think plays the biggest role in Dogecoin’s future? #DOGE #Bitcoin #Altcoins
BNB is approaching a key resistance level near $860, where steady buying interest has built up over time. A confirmed break above, followed by a healthy retest, often points to further gains in charts like this. If it fails, expect more sideways action.

If Bitcoin hits a major milestone like $250K in 2026, analysts suggest stronger large-cap alts could see more interest. XRP stood out in 2025 by dropping less than the broader alt market—thanks to rising adoption and clearer regulations. Ripple's $2.7B+ in acquisitions for payments, treasury, and trading tools shows real infrastructure focus. How do you think rotation plays out in bull runs? #BTC #XRP Sources $BTC $XRP
🇺🇸 Eric Trump says we could see a shift where money moves out of gold and into Bitcoin. He called BTC “the greatest asset” he’s ever seen, pointing to Bitcoin as “digital gold” for a more connected world. #BTC #Bitcoin
President Trump has talked about using Bitcoin to tackle the massive US national debt. He even joked about settling it with a crypto payment one day. Could this really change how governments handle big debts? What do you think? Sources
The 2025 revenue leaderboard is a strong reality check.
Solana leads all chains by a wide margin at about $1.3B in revenue, while Hyperliquid comes in second at around $816M. It shows the dominance game is shifting toward chains that generate consistent fees from real usage, especially trading activity, instead of relying only on TVL and narratives.
US spot ETF flows (26-12-2025) were negative again.
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw -$275.88M in net outflows. Ethereum spot ETFs saw -$38.70M out. All the other listed ETFs showed zero flow. Total net flow was -$314.58M.
Big detail: the BTC outflow alone is roughly equal to about 7 days of mined BTC supply in one day. ETF flows can move faster than daily issuance, which is why they matter so much for short-term price action.
As $BTC continues to trade as a macro asset, large Ethereum holders are quietly shifting strategy. BitMNR, the world’s largest Ethereum treasury firm, has officially entered ETH staking - marking a major change in how corporate treasuries manage long-term crypto holdings.
Key Points:
- BitMNR deposited around 74,880 $ETH into Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system, worth nearly $219 million, according to on-chain data shared by Arkham Intelligence.
- This is the first time the firm has staked any of its Ethereum. Until now, BitMNR kept its massive ETH reserves untouched, relying purely on price appreciation.
- On-chain data shows BitMNR holds about 4.06 million ETH, valued near $11.9 billion - roughly 3.37% of Ethereum’s total supply.
With current staking yields around 3.1%, staking its full balance could generate over 126,000 ETH annually, translating into hundreds of millions in potential yield at current prices.
📌 The move signals a broader shift: large holders are no longer just betting on price. They’re starting to treat Ethereum as a yield-generating financial asset - not just a speculative one.
