While the entire crypto market is showing signs of stabilization at the end of the year, XRP sends an atypical and potentially worrying signal. Its funding rate on perpetual contracts plunged to -20%, a threshold rarely reached even during high volatility periods. This configuration reflects a marked imbalance: short positions dominate while bulls seem to be withdrawing from the game. In a market so sensitive to liquidity and sentiment signals, this anomaly deserves special attention.

The $100,000 threshold for bitcoin fascinates as much as it divides. A symbol of global adoption and a completed bull cycle, it remains, approaching the end of the year, a goal that is moving away. On predictive markets, conviction is eroding: bettors no longer believe in it. Between uncertain monetary policy and the exhaustion of bullish flows, the momentum seems suspended. The dominant scenario is no longer the explosion, but waiting. And in this in-between, bitcoin plays a more strategic than euphoric game.

Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, has just been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a historic $40 billion fraud. Between ruined victims and relentless regulation, does this conviction mark the end of excesses in crypto?

Bitcoin could explode in 2026, according to traders. After the Fed rate cuts, bets focus on ambitious targets: $130,000, even $180,000. Why do experts ignore the "Santa rally" to bet on next year?

Crypto markets have started coughing again. No spectacular crash this time, but a slow loss of breath: crypto trading volumes are declining, prices are correcting, and even spot bitcoin ETFs are turning red. For JPMorgan, the picture is clear: the appetite for risk is fading, and the market stalls just as it was supposed to confirm its strong comeback.

Bitcoin pauses in the balance sheets, but some actors buy more than ever. Here are the numbers worrying analysts.

GameStop is going through a turbulent period after betting heavily on Bitcoin. The video game retailer sees its cryptocurrency holdings shrink by 9.2 million dollars in three months, causing its stock to fall by more than 5%. Faced with this setback, the company is now considering liquidating part of its digital assets.

Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, is facing growing pressure as it challenges MSCI’s plan to exclude crypto-treasury firms from major stock indexes. Strategy, which holds the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin reserve, warned that the proposal misjudges how digital-asset treasuries operate. More so, the plan risks distorting fair index standards.

Trump’s growing footprint in digital assets now reaches into mobile gaming, as a new Trump-licensed crypto title moves toward release. Early previews show a project that combines light strategy mechanics with token-based rewards. The timing comes as several Trump-linked crypto assets face steep volatility and rising political attention.

Recent trends show large holders holding back and fewer coins hitting exchanges, easing market pressure and pointing to a calmer Bitcoin market in the near term.

American banking giants are now playing the bitcoin card. Michael Saylor lifts the veil on a massive and silent adoption: eight of the ten largest banks offer loans secured in BTC. Figures, players, and stakes of a revolution that is disrupting finance.

In a DeFi market seeking stability, the launch of StandX on November 24, 2025, does not go unnoticed. This new DEX, dedicated to perpetual contracts, introduces an automatic yield stablecoin, without staking action.

Unlike classic models, StandX aims to establish itself in a sector still largely dominated by centralized platforms.

BlackRock transfers 2,196 BTC to Coinbase Prime. A decision that could shake the Bitcoin market. Details here!

Washington hardens its tone. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the American banking regulator, denounces banking practices deemed discriminatory. In an unprecedented report, the agency accuses several major banks of restricting access to financial services for sensitive sectors, including cryptocurrencies. This phenomenon of "debanking," long denounced by the industry, could now be considered illegal. A strong signal sent to Wall Street, as the Trump administration intends to restore fair access to the banking system.

SpaceX has just transferred 94 million dollars in bitcoin, according to on-chain data analyzed by Arkham Intelligence. These movements are part of a series of regular transfers observed over the past two months, after several years of inactivity. They occur as information points to a possible IPO of the company in 2026, with a valuation that could reach 1.5 trillion dollars. This coincidence raises questions about SpaceX's financial strategy and the role bitcoin could play in it.

On December 10, the Fed announced a 25 basis point cut to its key interest rates, confirming market expectations. However, behind this seemingly routine decision lie deep divisions: split votes, unclear economic context, and unprecedented political pressures. In a context marked by the absence of key economic data due to the shutdown, interpreting the U.S. monetary strategy becomes increasingly complex and potentially destabilizing.
