Moore Threads IPO Soars 470% as 1,500 BTC Debt Claim Involving Co‑Founder Resurfaces

|
Moore Threads debuted on the Shanghai STAR Market with an extraordinary 470% first‑day surge, raising about RMB 8 billion (~$1.1 billion) and valuing the company near RMB 282 billion (~$39.9 billion). The IPO reflects strong domestic support for Chinese GPU makers and robust investor demand for chips used in AI, gaming and data centres. The rally was clouded when social media revived an alleged decade‑old cryptocurrency debt: co‑founder Li Feng is claimed to owe roughly 1,500 BTC to OKX founder Mingxing (Star) Xu under a Bitcoin loan first dated December 2014 and reportedly renewed in March 2017. The matter also involves an earlier ICO‑era project (Malego/Alpaca Coin) tied to Li Feng that raised about 5,000 ETH. OKX’s founder has called for legal resolution and sought remedies; Li Feng describes the episode as a failed investment. Analysts say the allegations have not materially dented demand for Moore Threads’ products but introduce reputational and potential regulatory uncertainty that could spur short‑term volatility in equities and crypto sentiment. Traders should monitor any legal filings, regulatory probes, insider share movements or clarifications from company leadership. Key facts for traders: IPO pop +470%; proceeds ~RMB 8bn (~$1.1bn); alleged debt ~1,500 BTC (origin 2014, renewed 2017); related ICO funds ~5,000 ETH.

Macron Warns US’ Loose Crypto Rules Could Trigger Global Financial Crisis

|
French President Emmanuel Macron warned that increasingly lax U.S. regulations for cryptocurrencies—particularly stablecoins—could pose systemic risks and spark a global financial meltdown. Macron urged the EU not to follow a softer U.S. approach and defended the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework as a necessary safeguard. He highlighted contagion risk from a major crypto firm failure or stablecoin de-pegging, threats to investor protection, and potential challenges to monetary policy if unregulated stablecoins scale. The intervention frames a widening transatlantic regulatory divide: the EU pursuing comprehensive rules while U.S. policy remains fragmented across agencies. Macron’s remarks increase political pressure on U.S. policymakers and underscore that the regulatory path chosen will shape market stability and industry growth over the next decade.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Phase 6 Nears Sellout as Traders Rotate from Cardano

|
Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has seen strong presale momentum: Phase 6 allocations are ~95% sold at $0.035, up 250% from Phase 1 ($0.01). The presale has raised roughly $19.15–$19.2 million with about 18,300 holders. Phase 7 will raise the price to $0.04 and the expected launch valuation is cited at $0.06, implying material upside from current presale levels. The project added gamified incentives (a daily leaderboard with $500 MUTM and a $100,000 giveaway) to boost participation. Mutuum reports an independent Halborn Security audit is underway and lending/borrowing contracts are in final review; V1 is planned for Sepolia testnet in 2025 supporting ETH and USDT with liquidity pools, mtTokens, debt tokens and a liquidator bot. Earlier coverage emphasized Mutuum’s dual lending framework, interest-bearing mtTokens and a fee-to-buyback mechanism intended to reduce sell pressure by repurchasing MUTM and rewarding stakers. The latest updates show growing on-chain interest and marketing-driven demand, drawing some traders away from Cardano (ADA), which recently saw weakening price action and on-chain indicators. Traders should note the higher risk profile of presale tokens: potential upside from discounted entry and tokenomics is counterbalanced by execution, audit completion and market liquidity risks. Perform your own due diligence and act quickly if seeking Phase 6 pricing.

Ethereum processes $6T in stablecoins in Q4 — is an ETH breakout coming?

|
Ethereum’s network recorded nearly $6 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume in Q4, driven by record capital velocity, falling median transaction fees (near-zero) and over $180 billion in stablecoin supply on-chain. Daily stablecoin transfers surpassed $85 billion, outpacing other chains. The surge lifted Ethereum above traditional payment giants in settlement value and reflects growing trust in the network for large-scale transfers and low-risk DeFi activity. ETH price was consolidating around $3,030 with RSI ~45 (neutral), a negative MACD and mild buying pressure (CMF ~0.10), suggesting the token is in a consolidation zone that could precede a stronger move. Key takeaways for traders: dramatically higher stablecoin throughput and liquidity improve on-chain settlement narratives (positive structural demand), but technical indicators show consolidation rather than an immediate bullish reversal — monitor stablecoin flow, fees, and on-chain liquidity alongside RSI/MACD for a potential breakout confirmation.

Bitcoin Falls Below $90,000 — Causes, Key Support Levels and Trader Guidance

|
Bitcoin plunged below the psychological $90,000 level, trading around $89,978 on Binance USDT markets after a sharp decline. The article attributes the drop to a combination of macroeconomic uncertainty (shifting interest-rate expectations), large-scale profit-taking by institutional “whales,” and technical factors — notably the breach of the $90,000 support that likely triggered automated selling. Short-term support levels to watch are $88,000 and $85,000; a reclaim of $90,000 would signal renewed buyer strength. The piece advises traders to review portfolio allocations, use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) for long-term accumulation, and set clear stop-losses to manage risk. It also notes that Bitcoin’s move typically drags major altcoins lower and that long-term drivers (ETF adoption, inflation hedging thesis, network development) remain intact. The article frames the drop as part of market volatility rather than a definitive long-term reversal and recommends disciplined risk management rather than panic selling.

Ethereum Draws $136.7M Daily Inflows as Fusaka Upgrade and ETF Demand Lift Interest

|
Artemis reports Ethereum led all digital-asset investment products with $136.7 million in 24-hour net inflows, driven by capital into funds and U.S. spot ETH ETFs rather than on-chain transfers. The flows reflect sustained institutional demand, corporate accumulation and continued spot-ETF activity — U.S. spot ETH ETFs previously recorded single-day inflows above $1 billion in August 2025 and funds have kept steady allocations amid volatility. Network fundamentals are supportive: the Fusaka upgrade (including PeerDAS) improves scaling and data handling, aiding layer-2 adoption and on-chain activity. Artemis highlighted on-chain usage metrics — roughly 1.03 million daily active Ethereum addresses on select days versus about 743,800 for Bitcoin — and noted large stablecoin movements (over $1 billion on-chain in a 24-hour period in early November 2025). Artemis’ terminal tracks inflows, exchange balances and active-address metrics, showing fresh investment capital entering Ethereum through digital-asset products.

Securitize: Tokenization Boosts Dollar Liquidity in Stablecoins and Treasuries but Illiquid RWAs Lag

|
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo says tokenization amplifies dollar liquidity primarily in liquid instruments—stablecoins and tokenized U.S. Treasuries—while illiquid real-world assets (RWAs) such as real estate and collectibles retain trading challenges. Data from RWA.xyz shows stablecoins account for roughly $300 billion and tokenized Treasuries about $9 billion, far exceeding tokenized stocks (~$681 million). Products like BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) —issued across multiple blockchains and holding about $2 billion—illustrate how institutional tokenization can scale cash-equivalent liquidity. Domingo and industry leaders argue tokenization improves accessibility but does not automatically make illiquid assets tradable without losses; liquidity provision and secondary markets are essential. Traders should watch regulatory developments, institutional fund flows into tokenized cash instruments, and infrastructure advances (AMMs, exchanges, cross-chain interoperability) that could expand liquidity. Short-term, growth in stablecoins and tokenized Treasuries may support dollar-pegged crypto liquidity and reduce funding frictions; long-term, broader RWA liquidity depends on market depth, regulatory clarity, and institutional participation.

Ethereum Holds $3,000 as Exchange Supply Drops to 2015 Lows

|
Ethereum (ETH) is trading around the $3,000 support level while encountering resistance near $3,100, as on-chain data shows exchange-held ETH has fallen to roughly 8.7% of total supply — the lowest level since 2015. Analysts link the decline in exchange supply to increased staking and long-term custody, lowering immediate sell pressure and tightening liquidity. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee highlighted institutional accumulation (his fund claims over $11 billion in ETH) and projected large upside ranges for ETH, while analysts such as Lennaert Snyder emphasize the $3,000 area as a tactical long-entry after confirmed reversals and warn of choppy weekend moves. Bloomberg and on-chain trackers also report significant ETF and fund inflows year-to-date, supporting demand. Key takeaways for traders: monitor $3,000 support and $3,100 resistance for short-term setups; watch on-chain metrics (exchange balances, withdrawal volumes, staking rates) for liquidity signals; and track institutional flows and ETF inflows for potential sustained demand. Short-term risk includes low liquidity and possible retracement toward ~$2,800 if $3,000 breaks, while the structural shift of supply off exchanges could intensify moves on inflows.

Contracts tied to whether Trump would declassify or publicly disclose UFO-related records jumped in open interest and price as traders rushed to position for a possible announcement. Volume and liquidity on the relevant markets increased markedly, drawing attention from crypto traders and derivatives participants. The event underlines how political news and high-profile figures can rapidly move sentiment on decentralized betting platforms and decentralized finance (DeFi) venues. Key figures: Donald Trump (subject of potential release); Polymarket (prediction market platform). Key stats: notable uptick in open interest and trade volume on UFO-related contracts (exact figures not provided in source).

Binance Proof-of-Reserves: BTC Up 4%, USDC Reserves Exceed User Balances

|
Binance published its 37th Proof-of-Reserves snapshot dated December 1. Key updates: user Bitcoin (BTC) balances rose 4% month-on-month to 617,620 BTC (+23,768 BTC). Binance reports a BTC reserve ratio of 102.11%, indicating reserves exceed customer holdings. Ethereum (ETH) balances fell 1.32% to 4.04 million ETH with a 100% reserve ratio. Tether (USDT) user balances declined 1.24% to $34.30 billion and show a reserve ratio of 109.16%. Notably, USDC user balances are 6.88 billion USDC while Binance holds 9.47 billion USDC in reserve, reflecting a reserve ratio well above 100%. The report also lists reserve ratios for multiple altcoins (examples): DOGE 110.61%, LTC 120.08%, POL 107.93%, DOT 105.21%, LINK 100.92%, SHIB 101.07%, ARB 100.45%, UNI 102.09%, APT 102.69%. Overall, disclosed reserve ratios exceed 100% across the listed assets, signalling coverage of customer balances. For traders: rising BTC balances suggest increased on-exchange BTC deposits or accumulation, which may reflect renewed confidence or ETF and portfolio rebalancing flows; falling ETH and USDT balances point to short-term outflows, profit-taking, or redeployment into other assets. Monitor BTC inflows, stablecoin movements (USDT/USDC), and reserve disclosures for liquidity signals that can affect short-term price action and execution risk.

Bittensor TAO Halving on Dec 14, 2025 — Daily Issuance Cut 50% to 3,600

|
Bittensor will execute its first TAO halving on December 14, 2025, cutting daily token issuance from 7,200 TAO to 3,600 TAO as the protocol advances toward a fixed 21 million TAO supply. Launched in 2021, Bittensor is an AI-focused blockchain that rewards subnet operators and contributors in TAO. The ecosystem has rapidly expanded: CoinGecko tracks over 100 active subnets (combined market cap > $850 million) while Taostats lists 129 subnets with an estimated combined valuation near $3 billion. Notable subnets include Chutes (serverless AI compute) and Ridges (crowdsourced AI agent development). Recent on-chain and ecosystem developments cited in the latest reporting include Inference Labs raising $6.3 million for Subnet 2 and infrastructure provider xTao listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, signalling growing institutional interest. Analysts at Grayscale Research and others view the halving as a maturation milestone that could act as a value catalyst if network usage and demand for decentralized AI services increase. For traders, the key items to monitor are on-chain activity (TAO staking/rewards, subnet usage), liquidity and order-book depth around the halving date, subnet growth metrics, and broader demand for decentralized AI. Historically, token supply shocks paired with rising demand can support price appreciation, but outcomes depend on real demand traction and market liquidity.

BONK remains weekly-bearish despite short-term price uptick

|
BONK rose ~5.55% in 24 hours but its weekly trend remains decisively bearish. Weekly charts show BONK retested and closed below long-term support at $0.0000096 (a level dating to early 2024), with OBV in decline and RSI at 36 — signs of strong selling momentum. On the 4‑hour chart, BONK has traded in a three‑week range between $0.00000846 and $0.0000105, with a slowly rising OBV suggesting recent buying pressure. Analysts say a decisive breakout above $0.0000105, followed by a successful retest, would be a buy signal with a next target near $0.0000135. More likely, traders should expect rejection at the range high and use the range extremes to take profits or short; a retest of $0.0000105 is presented as a selling opportunity. Volume has fallen nearly 10% despite the price gain, and bulls lack conviction until high-volume range breakouts occur and broader market strength (e.g., BTC momentum) confirms direction. Traders are advised to trade the range until a clear breakout happens.

Securitize CEO: Tokenized Assets Need Deep Liquidity to Scale

|
Securitize CEO Charles Cascarilla said tokenized assets cannot reach scale without robust secondary-market liquidity. Speaking in industry interviews, Cascarilla argued liquidity is the primary bottleneck for tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWAs), more than regulation or technology. He highlighted that tokenization reduces issuance friction and increases accessibility, but investors demand reliable exit routes — market depth, price discovery and continuous trading — to commit capital. Cascarilla recommended infrastructure improvements: interoperable trading venues, market makers, integrated custody, and clearer regulatory frameworks that support secondary trading. He noted projects and platforms are experimenting with tokenized bonds, funds and real estate, but uptake remains limited while liquidity is fragmented across protocols and venues. For traders, the key takeaway is that tokenization progress will be tied to developments that create consistent order flow and narrower spreads; absent that, tokenized assets may trade illiquidly and attract speculative, high-volatility flows rather than steady institutional capital. Primary keywords: tokenized assets, liquidity, secondary market, tokenization. Secondary/semantic keywords: real-world assets (RWA), market makers, custody, interoperability.

XRP Flows Split: Binance Outflows vs Rising Korean Exchange Supply

|
XRP shows mixed on-chain signals as regional exchange reserves diverge. Binance has recorded steady outflows of XRP, driven by whale withdrawals that suggest off-exchange accumulation and tightening supply — a potentially bullish liquidity dynamic. In contrast, South Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb have rising XRP reserves, indicating short-term selling and profit-taking by retail traders. The result is a two-speed market: Western/large-holder accumulation versus Asian retail distribution. Traders should monitor exchange reserve trends and regional volume shifts; continued Binance outflows could support upward price pressure, while accelerating Korean exchange inflows may increase near-term selling pressure and cap rallies. This split complicates short-term price predictions but highlights liquidity as the key determinant of the next major move.

Bitcoin mining stocks fall as BTC production costs surge

|
Bitcoin mining stocks slipped 1.8% week-over-week as trading volume fell ~25.7% and market cap declined from $69.12B to $67.89B. Of 34 publicly listed miners, 25 finished the week in the red; Applied Digital (APLD) and Core Scientific (CORZ) were notable winners, while American Bitcoin (ABTC) plunged 47.4% after a share unlock allowed early investors to sell. CryptoRank data shows the average cash cost to mine one BTC among public miners rose to $74,600; the all-in cost (including depreciation and stock-based compensation) jumped to $137,800. Rising hash rate (past 1 ZH/s) has compressed mining margins, prompting many miners to diversify into AI and high-performance computing workloads, where margins are stronger. BTC traded near $91k with a 24h gain of ~2.2%, while the market’s fear-and-greed index signaled extreme fear. Key takeaways for traders: higher production costs and falling miner profitability increase downside pressure on miner equities and could add selling risk to spot BTC if miners reduce hodling or liquidate assets to cover costs.

US Treasury Chief Scott Bessent Says Economy Stronger Than Expected, Predicts 3% 2025 GDP

|
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CBS’s Face the Nation that the US economy is “in better shape than they expected,” forecasting about 3% real GDP growth by the end of 2025. He said real incomes rose roughly 1% and holiday retail was strong, arguing that earlier warnings of price spikes did not materialize. Bessent attributed much of current inflation to the services sector and energy and regulatory constraints inherited by the Biden administration, while noting imported goods saw smaller price increases. He cited an “ordinary person index” for working-class purchasing power falling below the general inflation rate for the first time, but predicted inflation will decline more sharply in 2026. On food prices, he acknowledged grocery costs remain high and disputed the political framing of price-gouging probes. Bessent also discussed an agricultural agreement with China, saying China committed to buying 12.5 million tonnes of soybeans but will follow the agreed schedule. He explained planned USDA “bridge payments” for farmers reflect delays caused by negotiation tactics. The segment mentioned a new proposal to open $1,000 investment accounts invested in low-cost index funds for US children born 2025–2028. Key figures: Scott Bessent; key datapoints: +1% real incomes, ~3% 2025 GDP forecast, China soy purchase 12.5M tonnes.

South Korea Sees 24h Altcoin Volume Surge Led by XRP and MOODENG

|
South Korea’s two largest exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, recorded a sharp 24-hour surge in trading volumes across 21 altcoins, led by XRP and MOODENG. Combined exchange data show XRP and MOODENG as the top-traded tokens (roughly $210m and $178.7m respectively). Major cryptocurrencies also saw elevated activity: BTC ~$139m, ETH ~$134.6m, and USDT ~$94.2m. Mid-cap and niche tokens posted significant volumes too — SOL ~$55.8m, Doodles ~$45m, Pudgy Penguins ~$36.9m — alongside several smaller projects with multi-million-dollar turnover. Earlier reports highlighted slightly different totals and additional tokens but the core development is the same: concentrated demand from Korean traders driving short-term, high-liquidity flows on domestic venues. Traders should watch volume spikes on Upbit and Bithumb as potential precursors to increased volatility and near-term price moves for the listed coins.

SEC Chair Atkins: Tokenization and On‑Chain Settlement to Modernize U.S. Markets

|
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said tokenization and on‑chain settlement can modernize U.S. financial markets by representing securities as blockchain tokens and enabling near‑instant (T0) delivery‑versus‑payment. Atkins emphasized tokenized securities would remain under SEC oversight, balancing innovation with investor protection. He highlighted growing institutional pilots from major banks and brokerages and cited analyst estimates of substantial operational cost reductions (reported 30–40%) and lower systemic risk (up to ~50% in some measures). On‑chain settlement offers immutable records, greater transparency and real‑time visibility that can reduce settlement failures and speed access to funds. Atkins framed U.S. regulators as shifting from caution to active engagement, aiming to onshore digital‑asset activity under regulated platforms (citing examples like LedgerX under CFTC rules) after failures such as FTX. For traders: regulators are preparing clearer frameworks for tokenized securities and on‑chain settlement, institutional adoption is accelerating, and onshoring may expand regulated venues and product offerings — factors likely to increase market liquidity, product diversity and institutional flows. Key keywords: tokenization, on‑chain settlement, SEC regulation, institutional adoption, market infrastructure.

Dogecoin Drops 9% as Bitcoin Weakness Spurs Rotation to DeFi Presale MUTM

|
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell about 9% in a broad market sell‑off, breaking a key support/resistance zone near $0.1495 after failing to reclaim $0.1383. The drop occurred alongside Bitcoin weakness and disappointing early inflows to newly launched Dogecoin ETFs (reported at roughly $2.16m), removing a near‑term bullish catalyst. DOGE trading volume spiked roughly 650% above average during the decline, leaving the token technically oversold but without clear bullish divergence. Traders are rotating capital toward DeFi projects seen as having stronger fundamentals. One highlighted project, Mutuum Finance (MUTM), is in presale phase 6 at $0.035 and claims about $19.15m raised from ~18,330 investors with phase 6 more than 95% subscribed. Mutuum plans a V1 lending/borrowing protocol (ETH/USDT) on Sepolia testnet in Q4, offers a 24‑hour leaderboard reward, card purchases for tokens, and an ongoing Halborn security audit. The articles frame MUTM as a fundamental alternative to narrative‑driven meme assets amid current risk‑off sentiment, but note this coverage is press‑release based and advise traders to perform due diligence before participating.

Analyst Says XRP Could Rally Like Bitcoin’s 2013 Breakout

An analyst known as Steph posted a chart comparing Bitcoin’s 2013 breakout to XRP’s current higher-timeframe structure, arguing XRP could stage a large rally if conditions align. XRP is trading near $2.00 with improved liquidity and increased institutional interest following the Ripple–SEC settlement in mid-2025. Steph highlighted similarities: long consolidation, strength above the 200-day moving average and a potential clean break above resistance — features that preceded Bitcoin’s tenfold surge in 2013. The article stresses key catalysts required for a breakout: renewed retail and institutional liquidity, favorable global risk appetite, and continued regulatory clarity. It also warns of risks including global market weakness, reduced crypto liquidity and unforeseen regulatory events. Traders are advised to use disciplined risk management and treat the chart comparison as a hypothesis rather than a guarantee.

Analyst van de Poppe: Bitcoin Must Hold $92K to Avoid Drop; $86K Break Could Trigger $78–80K

|
Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe outlined near-term scenarios for Bitcoin (BTC) after a recent pullback. He warns that a decisive break and hold above the $92,000 resistance is critical to confirm the bullish trend and could lead to a rally toward $100,000 within one to two weeks, supported by macro tailwinds such as eased Fed balance-sheet runoff, expectations of rate cuts, and higher liquidity. Conversely, van de Poppe identifies two invalidation levels: a failure to break and sustain above $92,000 would raise downside risk, and a close below $86,000 could usher a deeper correction into the $78,000–$80,000 range. He also said a short-term sweep of lows (potentially down to about $87,000) before the FOMC meeting is possible; a rapid rebound from that dip would keep the uptrend intact. Key points for traders: watch $92K as the primary bullish trigger, $86K as the critical stop-loss / invalidation line, and monitor macro events (FOMC, liquidity signals) that could catalyze either move.

Bitcoin Hits Resistance Near $90K; Failure to Reclaim $92K Could Trigger Drop Toward $80K

|
Bitcoin is facing critical resistance around $90,000–$92,000, with analyst Michaël van de Poppe warning that failure to regain $92,000 could prompt a sharp retreat toward $80,000–$82,000. BTC was trading near $89,800 at the time of reporting, down 0.5% on the day and 2.2% for the week. Key technical levels include resistance near $100,700 and a pivotal zone around $89,300; slipping below that pivot could accelerate selling. Moving averages show BTC below the 50-day (~$100,131) and 200-day (~$103,640) averages, and the 14-day RSI sits at 43, indicating muted short-term momentum. Poppe notes liquidity has been swept from recent highs and views the $80,900–$76,600 band as potential support that could form a double-bottom and set the stage for a rally in Q1 2026 if those lower supports hold. Traders should watch the $92,000 level and Fed signals on 2026 policy, as both technical resistance and macro guidance will likely dictate near-term direction.

Bitcoin Rebounds to $91K as Big Buyers Trigger Massive Liquidations

|
Bitcoin surged back toward $91,000, prompting a wave of liquidations as large buyers entered the market and forced leveraged short positions to close. The rebound produced significant long and short liquidations across major exchanges, amplifying intraday volatility. Key metrics reported include multi-hundred-million-dollar liquidation events (both longs and shorts aggregated), elevated spot and derivatives volume, and a sharp uptick in buy-side order flow concentrated at upper price levels. Traders noted rapid order-book shifts and widening funding-rate dynamics as market makers adjusted risk exposure. The move followed heightened institutional interest and renewed accumulation by whale addresses, suggesting coordinated or opportunistic buying that squeezed leveraged sellers. Short-term implications include increased volatility, temporary funding-rate pressure, and potential short-covering rallies. For traders, risk management is critical: monitor exchange liquidations, funding rates, and order-book depth, and consider position size and stop placement amid possible chop.

BPCE Adds In‑App BTC, ETH, SOL and USDC Trading for Two Million Customers

|
French banking group BPCE has launched in‑app crypto trading for roughly two million retail customers across four regional networks (including Banque Populaire Île‑de‑France and Caisse d’Épargne Provence‑Alpes‑Côte d’Azur). The service, operated by BPCE’s crypto unit Hexarq, offers direct buying and selling of Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Circle USDC inside existing mobile banking apps without third‑party wallets or exchanges. Customers trade through a dedicated digital‑asset account that carries a €2.99 monthly fee and a 1.5% transaction commission (minimum €1). BPCE will monitor the pilot’s performance and roll the feature out progressively across the remaining regional networks through 2026 to reach its full 12‑million retail base. The move follows a broader trend of European banks (BBVA, Openbank/Santander, Raiffeisen/Bitpanda) embedding crypto trading and custody to retain customers and compete with fintechs like Revolut and Trade Republic. For traders, the launch increases on‑ramp liquidity and regulated access for BTC, ETH, SOL and USDC in France, while fees and custodial controls may affect retail order flow and price sensitivity compared with noncustodial or lower‑fee platforms.

GeeFi (GEE) presale accelerates as Dogecoin liquidity outflows spur trader interest

|
GeeFi (GEE) presale has gained rapid momentum as some traders shift attention amid Dogecoin (DOGE) liquidity concerns. Phase 1 closed in under two weeks, raising $500,000. Phase 2 is reported ~70% sold with $570,000+ raised and a phase price of $0.06. The project publicises a confirmed listing price of $0.40 (implying a 667% immediate uplift from Phase 2) and some analysts cite longer-term targets up to $2–$3, which would imply much higher headline returns. GeeFi positions itself as a non‑custodial cross‑chain wallet and DEX ecosystem supporting 14+ networks, with an Android app live and iOS planned. Roadmap items marketed include Visa/Mastercard crypto cards, a deflationary burn mechanism, and staking incentives (flexible up to 10% APR; fixed 15% for 1 month, 22% for 3 months, 55% for 12 months). The presale has sold millions of tokens across phases and counts roughly ~2,100 investors in earlier reporting. The articles are sponsored press releases; readers should perform independent due diligence before participating. Primary keywords: GeeFi, GEE presale, crypto presale, Dogecoin liquidity, staking APR.

XRP Could Top $15 as Technical Breakout and U.S. Regulatory Clarity Drive Interest

|
XRP is being positioned for a potential multi-hundred-percent advance toward and above $15 amid repeating multi-year technical patterns, surging on-chain velocity in 2025, and possible U.S. regulatory clarity. Technical analysts note descending-triangle consolidations and breakout structures from 2014–2017 have re-emerged, suggesting a repeat of past explosive rallies; one analyst projects gains of 600%+ from current levels. On-chain metrics show transaction velocity spiking above 0.03 in 2025, interpreted as rising network activity and adoption. Separately, a proposed U.S. Senate bill could reclassify XRP as a commodity under CFTC oversight, removing SEC uncertainty and potentially unlocking institutional capital similar to flows seen after Bitcoin ETF approvals. Key takeaways for traders: (1) chart structures point to a possible long-term upside target in the $15–$16 range if historical breakouts repeat; (2) on-chain velocity and volume confirm increased activity, supporting bullish momentum; (3) regulatory developments are a major catalyst — favorable rulings or legislation could trigger large inflows, while setbacks would raise short-term volatility. Traders should monitor triangle breakout confirmation, volume/velocity trends, and regulatory news for entry, risk management, and position sizing decisions.
