$BTC According to ChainCatcher citing SoSoValue, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $142 million on December 22 (ET).

The $PORTAL pair is currently exhibiting a strong bullish breakout, gaining over 17% in the last 24 hours to reach $0.0248, fueled by a major strategic merger with BLIFE Protocol and backing from Animoca Brands to expand its Bitcoin-native gaming ecosystem. Technically, the coin has successfully flipped its short-term moving averages ($MA(7)$ and $MA(25)$) into support, though traders should monitor the $0.0264 resistance level for a potential cooling-off period before the next leg up. Future growth is anchored by the upcoming launch of their BitScaler technology and institutional OTC desks, positioning PORTAL as a primary liquidity hub for Web3 gaming interoperability through 2026. For traders, a "buy-on-dips" strategy near the $0.0220 support zone is advisable, while long-term holders should look for a sustained break above $0.0280 to confirm a macro trend reversal. Given the current volatility typical of "Seed" category tokens, maintaining tight stop-losses near $0.0210 is essential to manage risk against sudden market corrections.
#USCryptoStakingTaxReview U.S. crypto tax policy is under fresh scrutiny as IRS rules currently treat staking rewards as taxable income the moment you receive them and again when you sell them—a setup many critics call double taxation. A bipartisan group of 18 U.S. lawmakers has formally urged the IRS to revisit and update the guidance before the 2026 tax year, proposing that staking rewards only be taxed at the point of sale to better reflect economic reality and encourage network participation. Under the new U.S. broker reporting regime starting in 2025, platforms including Binance.US will report transactions and issue 1099-DA forms for your crypto activity, and staking rewards are treated as taxable income at receipt under current IRS guidance. Any changes lawmakers push could ease burdens for U.S. Binance.US users and broader crypto stakers if implemented before next tax season.

#CPIWatch Latest U.S. CPI Update (as of December 23, 2025) The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, released on December 18, 2025, by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, reflects inflation data for November 2025. This update is notably affected by the federal government shutdown, which disrupted data collection for October and limited month-to-month accuracy. The next CPI release—covering December 2025—is scheduled for January 13, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET and is expected to offer a clearer, more reliable view of current inflation trends.
