Pi Network (PI) has come under short-term selling pressure and could slip below the $0.22 support if current bearish momentum continues. On-chain data from PiScan shows a 24-hour net inflow to centralized exchanges of about 990,000 PI (2.75M deposits vs 1.76M withdrawals), signaling increased supply pressure as holders move tokens to exchanges—a common precursor to selling. The PI/USD 4‑hour chart is bearish: PI is down ~2% in 24 hours and trading around $0.2267. Technical indicators point lower — RSI at 37 approaching oversold territory and MACD in the bearish region. Immediate downside risk targets the Monday low of $0.2204 and a larger support near $0.1919. On the upside, a bullish recovery would need to break last week’s high at $0.2841 to target the August 1 level near $0.3220. For traders, watch CEX inflows, RSI and MACD on the 4‑hour chart, and the $0.220–$0.1919 support zone for short-term trade decisions. Primary keywords: PI, Pi Network price, PI price forecast. Secondary/semantic keywords included: CEX inflows, RSI, MACD, support, resistance, bearish trend.

This unified analysis examines Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price prospects from 2025 through 2030, integrating technical, fundamental and adoption factors to assess whether BCH can reach $1,000. BCH’s core value proposition is on‑chain electronic cash with larger blocks than Bitcoin, enabling faster, lower‑cost transactions. Key drivers include merchant and payment‑processor adoption, cross‑border remittances and micropayments, network upgrades, developer cohesion, halving cycles, Bitcoin correlation and broader macro sentiment. Technical indicators are mixed: RSI neutral, moving averages divergent and trading volume moderate, while BCH historically tracks Bitcoin with amplified volatility. Short‑term (2025) outlook expects consolidation and potential recovery if adoption and protocol upgrades progress. Mid‑term (2026–2028) gains depend on real‑world utility, regional adoption (especially in currency‑unstable markets), fintech integrations and stronger developer support. Long‑term (by 2030) achieving $1,000 would require sustained, above‑trend adoption, meaningful protocol enhancements, favorable regulatory outcomes and persistent bullish crypto cycles. Risks include regulatory uncertainty, competition from other payment‑focused chains (e.g., ETH, SOL, LTC), market volatility and community fragmentation. Actionable takeaways for traders: monitor merchant adoption metrics, on‑chain activity, protocol upgrade timelines and BCH’s correlation with BTC; adjust position sizing to your risk tolerance and time horizon; diversify and reassess regularly. This overview is informational and not investment advice.

Turkey’s largest fintech crypto deal: Turkish exchange Paribu has acquired UAE- and Bahrain-regulated CoinMENA in a transaction valuing CoinMENA at up to $240 million. CoinMENA, founded in 2020 by Talal Tabbaa and Dina Sam’an, serves about 1.5 million users across 45 countries, supports 50+ cryptocurrencies and multiple local MENA currencies, and has raised nearly $20 million from investors including BECO, Arab Bank Switzerland and Circle. Paribu’s CEO Yasin Oral said the move expands Paribu’s licensed operations into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and marks Turkey’s first cross-border acquisition of a crypto brokerage, while CoinMENA founders expect combined regional expertise and Paribu’s technology to broaden product offerings. The deal follows a trend of regional expansion by Asian exchanges (e.g., CoinDCX’s BitOasis acquisition) leveraging UAE (VARA) and Bahrain (CBB) licenses. Market context: Chainalysis reports place Turkey among MENA’s largest crypto markets (nearly $200B transaction volume in 2025) and show rapid growth across Saudi and Qatar; MENA remains a significant, though moderately growing, crypto region. Key SEO keywords: Paribu acquisition, CoinMENA, MENA crypto, UAE VARA, Central Bank of Bahrain, Turkey crypto adoption.

Italy has set a firm deadline of Dec. 30, 2025 for all virtual asset service providers (VASPs) operating in the country to apply for authorization under the EU Markets in Crypto‑Assets regulation (MiCA). Law Decree 95/2025 extended the original June 30 cutoff by six months. CONSOB will oversee authorizations: VASPs that submit applications can continue operating during the review; those that do not must terminate client relationships, return customer assets and publish exit or licensing plans. Providers denied authorisation have 60 days to wind down; applicants may operate under transitional rules only until June 30, 2026. The decree covers exchanges, wallet providers and other crypto service firms; reported registration fees range from €50,000–€150,000 depending on size and scope. Enforcement is already underway—CONSOB blocked 10 unauthorised crypto sites in September 2025—and the rule has driven market consolidation: ~18% of European platforms exited the EU market in 2025 for failing to meet MiCA standards, while large compliant exchanges (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase) hold over 70% of the MiCA‑compliant EU market share. An estimated 3.6 million Italians are expected to hold digital assets by end‑2025. Key SEO terms: MiCA, VASP compliance, CONSOB, Italy crypto regulation, market consolidation.

XRP has led large-cap altcoin losses after Bitcoin failed to hold a breakout near $94,000. Key drivers cited: continued whale selling (over 1.4 billion XRP sold in about a month, with another 140 million tokens moved this week), and declining net inflows into US spot XRP ETFs (December 4 inflows only $12.84M versus peak days of $243M, $164M and $118M in November). Price rejected at $2.20 and retraced to about $2.07, while social-media FUD reached its most intense level since October. Despite short-term weakness and almost 10% YTD decline, ETF inflows remain positive and prior spikes in social negativity preceded >20% rallies, leaving mixed signals for traders.

Bitcoin (BTC) has paused its corrective rally around $92,975, a technical intersection of prior downtrend support and horizontal resistance. A sustained break above $92,975 would open a path toward $99,000, while rejection would shift bias to shorts targeting $90,000 and lower support levels from early December and late November. Momentum indicators (RSI and MACD) show waning downside pressure but not a confirmed bullish reversal. The article highlights a strong inverse correlation between BTC/USD and the US Dollar Index (DXY) — roughly -0.75 on the daily timeframe over the past month — suggesting dollar moves matter more to Bitcoin than other risk proxies. Traders should watch price action around $92,975, bids near $90,000, and the DXY and risk-appetite proxies (Nasdaq, VIX) for cues. Primary keywords: Bitcoin, BTC/USD, US Dollar, DXY, resistance, support; secondary keywords: breakout, short targets, RSI, MACD, risk appetite.

Binance will delist four USDT‑margined perpetual futures — SKATE/USDT, REI/USDT, FIS/USDT and VOXEL/USDT — with trading ending and automatic settlement scheduled for 09:00 UTC on December 10, 2024. The exchange said the move follows routine market‑quality reviews that typically target low‑liquidity or low‑volume products. Traders holding these perpetuals should manually close positions, cancel open orders, or reduce leverage before the deadline to avoid forced settlement at prevailing market prices. The delisting affects only the specified perpetual contracts and does not necessarily impact spot listings or other Binance products for these tokens. Official updates will be posted on Binance’s announcements page. Actionable steps for traders: verify open SKATE, REI, FIS and VOXEL perpetual positions; close or reduce exposure; cancel orders; and consider reallocating capital to more liquid futures markets to limit execution and settlement risk.

Woori Bank has begun displaying live Bitcoin (BTC) prices on the main trading-room screens in Seoul alongside won–dollar rates and stock data, marking a visible step by a South Korean commercial bank to integrate crypto pricing into traditional trading workflows. The bank did not announce a formal exchange partnership, but senior executives have signalled interest in expanding digital-asset services. This follows broader TradFi–crypto integration trends — examples include Kraken’s tie-up with Deutsche Börse and Hana Financial Group’s blockchain collaboration with Dunamu — and renewed institutional flows into spot crypto ETFs (e.g., recent Solana and XRP ETF listings). Regulatory developments in South Korea are also notable: proposed rules would restrict won‑denominated stablecoin issuance to bank‑led consortia with majority ownership and tighten travel‑rule thresholds for customer identification. For traders, the move reinforces that BTC is being treated as a market indicator within conventional trading desks, increasing institutional monitoring of Bitcoin price action. Short-term implications include potentially higher intraday sensitivity to domestic flow and headline risk; longer-term, continued TradFi adoption and clearer regulations may support deeper liquidity and reduced friction for institutional BTC exposure.

This sponsored roundup lists the 15 YouTube channels crypto traders and investors should follow for market analysis, education, and project research. Channels covered: Crypto Labs, Voice of Crypto, Facto Dream, Coin Bureau, Altcoin Daily, Brian Jung, CryptosRUs, Benjamin Cowen, Crypto Banter, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Boxmining, Ivan on Tech, Crypto Kirby, The Moon (Carl) and EllioTrades. The piece highlights each channel’s focus—technical explanations, macro and regulatory context, research deep-dives, daily news, trading setups, developer tutorials, on-chain analysis and early-stage token coverage—and recommends which viewer types benefit most (e.g., active traders, long-term investors, developers, beginners). The article emphasises avoiding hype, seeking educational value, and using these creators to save research time and maintain focus during volatile markets. It also notes the article is sponsored and not financial advice.

Bitfinex Alpha reports BTC staged a >15% rebound from recent lows to $93,116 after a 35.9% drawdown from its all-time high. Despite a 4.1% weekly pullback, on-chain metrics suggest selling pressure is waning and a local bottom is forming. Key signals: adjusted SOPR (aSOPR) has fallen below 1 — the third occurrence since early 2024 — matching patterns at prior cyclical lows; entity-adjusted realised losses rose to $403.4 million daily, signalling deep loss-taking consistent with panic selling near cycle troughs. Derivatives markets show orderly deleveraging: total BTC open interest dropped to $59.17 billion from a peak of $94.12 billion, implying liquidations and short-covering rather than fresh speculative leverage. Macroeconomic context: U.S. retail sales slowed sharply while core capital goods orders rose, reflecting weak consumer spending but strong corporate capex (AI/automation), creating mixed signals for the Fed. Institutional flows continue: BlackRock increased IBIT exposure (up 14% to 2.39 million shares); ARK Invest bought >$93M in crypto-related equities and its BTC ETF; Texas allocated $5M to IBIT for a state BTC reserve pilot. Overall, Bitfinex interprets the data as the market transitioning into a more stable consolidation phase, lowering tail risks and potentially setting the stage for a more sustainable rebound into Q4. Primary keywords: Bitcoin, BTC, on-chain, aSOPR, open interest, deleveraging, ETF institutional flows.

Polymarket is hiring an internal market-making desk that would trade directly against users, a move that critics say shifts the platform toward a sportsbook model and risks undermining its reputation as a neutral prediction market. Reports say Polymarket has been speaking with traders and sports bettors about building the desk; rivals such as Kalshi have made similar moves. Rutgers statistics professor Harry Crane told CoinDesk the change appears motivated more by revenue than product improvement and warned of limited upside, PR and legal risks (citing Kalshi and NoVig controversies). The desk could price and match parlays via an RFQ protocol, requiring capital and potentially giving the house an edge. Concerns include conflicts of interest, privileged access to order-flow or timing data, the erosion of market-driven probability signals that boosted Polymarket during the 2024 U.S. election cycle, and possible regulatory or class-action exposure. Polymarket did not respond to requests for comment. Key keywords: Polymarket, market making, prediction market, sportsbook, liquidity, RFQ, Kalshi, NoVig.

Brian Shroder, co‑founder and former CEO of Binance.US, has launched 1Money, a stablecoin orchestration and payments platform that removes platform fees and adopts a usage‑based charging model for fiat and stablecoin transfers. 1Money says it will run on a purpose‑built Layer‑1 blockchain optimized for instant, low‑cost, high‑security stablecoin payments with gas‑free transfers for users. The company previously raised seed funding (reported at $20 million in the later report and noted investor participation including Hack VC; an earlier report cited a broader investor list with F‑Prime, Galaxy Ventures, Kraken Ventures and Tribe Capital). The zero‑fee positioning targets fintechs and enterprises by undercutting incumbents that charge monthly minimums and platform fees. Traders should note potential impacts: a zero‑fee model could accelerate stablecoin payments adoption and increase on‑chain stablecoin volume, but long‑term success depends on sustained network performance, liquidity, and regulatory clarity. Key SEO keywords: zero‑fee stablecoin, stablecoin payments, 1Money, Layer‑1 stablecoin network, Brian Shroder.

Kunlunxin, Baidu’s AI chip unit, is preparing an initial public offering in Hong Kong after a recent funding round valued the business at about RMB 21 billion (≈$2.97 billion). The unit raised over RMB 2 billion from a China Mobile investment fund and private backers. Documents seen by Reuters indicate Kunlunxin aims to file with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the first quarter of 2026 and complete the listing by early 2027. The company expects revenue above RMB 3.5 billion (~$490M) this year and forecasts it will be profitable (not loss-making), with more than half of revenue coming from external customers; in 2024 it reported ~RMB 2 billion revenue and a ~RMB 200 million loss. Kunlunxin’s P800 chip has gained traction, mainly selling to state-owned firms and government data centers. New chips — the M100 (inference-focused, early 2026) and M300 (training+inference, early 2027) — were unveiled recently. The listing push reflects China’s drive to build domestic AI chip supply amid U.S. export curbs limiting Nvidia’s advanced chips to Chinese buyers. Market appetite for Chinese AI chip IPOs is strong after Moore Threads’ Shanghai debut. Baidu retains control of Kunlunxin; Baidu’s Hong Kong shares rose as much as 7.8% on the listing news.

A market analyst (Mr. Xoom) warned that XRP remains weak despite a brief relief rally, trading near $2.08 and down over 3% in December. XRP sits below the 50-day MA (~$2.31) and 200-day MA (~$2.61), forming lower highs and lower lows since a July peak. Price is contained in a band between $1.85–$2.35 and faces heavy resistance at $2.20–$2.35. Mr. Xoom flagged a key support zone at $1.85–$2.00 and a critical level at $2.04; a breakdown could target $1.35. Other analysts offer alternative scenarios: Casi views $2.04 as the make-or-break support — holding it could push XRP through $2.41 toward $2.65 and open higher targets; losing it may lead to $1.64. On-chain signals are mixed: accumulation has returned after recent outflows, while Santiment reports elevated fear and social doubt similar to a prior setup that preceded a 22% three-day spike. Traders are advised to treat short-term bounces cautiously given weak broader market cues (e.g., Russell weakness) and XRP trading under key moving averages.

Matrixport withdrew 5,805 BTC (≈$470M) from Binance within 24 hours, an increase on earlier reports of a 3,805 BTC transfer. Market observers interpret the outflow—originating from a regulated institutional custodian—as a likely move to cold storage or long-term custody, removing a significant chunk of BTC from exchange order books and reducing immediate sell-side liquidity. Institutional withdrawals are viewed as a sentiment indicator often associated with accumulation and confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. Traders should monitor on-chain metrics (exchange balances, whale wallets, miner flows) and Matrixport‑related wallet patterns across analytics providers (Lookonchain, Chainalysis, Glassnode). Short-term price impact is uncertain and depends on demand, macro factors and derivatives positioning; however, reduced exchange supply can amplify upward price moves if buying pressure rises, and may tighten short-term liquidity on Binance. Recommended actions for traders: watch exchange inflows/outflows, track volume and open interest, verify whether funds moved to cold wallets or other custodians, and combine this signal with technical and macro analysis before changing positions.

Glassnode on-chain data shows Bitcoin realized losses have spiked to levels not seen since the November 2022 FTX collapse. The increase is concentrated among Short-Term Holders (STH, <155 days), who are selling at a loss and driving near-term downward pressure on BTC price, while Long-Term Holders (LTH, >155 days) remain largely resilient and are not participating significantly in the sell-off. Realized losses—when coins are sold below their purchase price—are a key metric for measuring capitulation and selling intensity. Historically, extreme peaks in realized losses can mark market lows as weak hands are flushed out, so this surge implies heightened short-term volatility and potential for selling exhaustion. For traders, the key signals are elevated realized losses and STH liquidation: expect choppy price action, monitor on-chain profit/loss metrics (Glassnode, CryptoQuant) and exchange flows, avoid emotional entries, and align position sizing and timeframes to distinguish short-term capitulation from long-term accumulation. The development signals severe near-term stress among recent buyers but does not indicate systemic failure comparable to FTX; it is best viewed as a market correction that could set the stage for stabilization if marginal demand recovers and selling pressure abates.

American Bitcoin, the mining firm backed by Donald Trump Jr., purchased 363 BTC, bringing its treasury to 4,367 BTC. The move occurred amid a broader market drawdown and signals continued institutional accumulation of Bitcoin as long‑term collateral. American Bitcoin’s buy tightens available float and may encourage multi‑year investment horizons among large holders. Concurrently, PEPENODE (an ERC‑20 ‘mine‑to‑earn’ memecoin) has raised over $2.27M in its presale. PEPENODE uses a Virtual Mining System where users buy and customise Miner Nodes that simulate production and distribute rewards, positioning itself as a low‑friction, gamified mining narrative. The article cites a presale price of ~$0.00118 and projects an end‑2026 target of $0.0072 (511% ROI) and a 2030 target of $0.0244 (1,971% ROI), though it includes a standard disclaimer to do your own research. Key data points: 363 BTC purchase; American Bitcoin treasury = 4,367 BTC; PEPENODE presale > $2.27M; PEPENODE presale price ≈ $0.0011778; projected price targets for 2026 and 2030. For traders, the combined story frames a bifurcated risk approach: high‑conviction Bitcoin accumulation by institutional/mining players, and allocation into higher‑beta on‑chain projects and meme‑native products like PEPENODE.

The US dollar slid sharply ahead of the Federal Reserve’s key inflation report, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, while the euro climbed to a three-week high. Traders are trimming dollar exposure ahead of the PCE, which could shift Fed policy expectations: a hotter-than-expected core PCE would reinforce a hawkish Fed stance and dollar strength, while a cooler reading would accelerate rate-cut expectations and weaken the dollar. Market-watch points include core PCE (MoM forecast 0.3%), core PCE (YoY previously 2.8%), and the supercore services inflation metric. Forex moves have direct cross-asset implications: a weaker dollar tends to boost risk assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, by improving liquidity and encouraging risk-on flows; a stronger dollar can drain liquidity and trigger risk-off selling. Traders should monitor the DXY, US Treasury yields (2y and 10y), and short-term correlations between DXY and BTC. Actionable steps: set clear entry/exit and risk rules for hawkish and dovish scenarios, watch for immediate volatility around the release, and track bond yields for evolving Fed expectations. Expect elevated short-term volatility in FX and crypto markets; longer-term direction depends on subsequent inflation trends and central bank policy paths.

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reports that British cybercriminal Danny, known as Danish Zulfiqar or Meech, was reportedly detained in Dubai after authorities raided a villa and allegedly seized about $18.58–18.7 million in cryptocurrency. Investigators say roughly 3,670 ETH were consolidated into address 0xb37d6…9f768 prior to the seizure — a pattern consistent with law-enforcement asset freezes. Danny is linked to major social‑engineering thefts, including an alleged August 2024 Genesis creditors hack (~$243M) and the August 2023 Kroll SIM‑swap operation that helped steal funds from victims tied to BlockFi, Genesis and FTX. Co‑conspirators Malone Lam and Jeandiel Serrano were previously indicted and arrested in the U.S. in 2024. Sources report several associates were detained during the Dubai raid, though official law‑enforcement confirmation of Danny’s arrest is pending. The case highlights ongoing risks from SIM‑swap and social‑engineering schemes and cross‑exchange laundering that convert funds across ETH, BTC, LTC and privacy coins. Traders should monitor the seized address and related wallets for on‑chain movements; exchange freezes, asset recoveries or further arrests could create short‑term volatility and liquidity changes in affected tokens and venues.

Michael Gayed, a prominent portfolio manager known for ETF strategies (FMKT, ATACX), tweeted he “might do something related to XRP,” marking his first notable public comment on XRP and drawing attention across the XRP community. Gayed is a vocal Bitcoin critic and sceptical of common crypto narratives, so his hint is viewed as a sign of growing institutional interest. The remark coincides with historic inflows into XRP ETFs: $12.84 million added yesterday (Franklin $5.7M, Bitwise $3.76M, Grayscale $2.04M, Canary $1.34M), taking cumulative inflows to $887.12 million and total ETF assets to about $906M before a slight drop to $881M amid a mild spot-price correction. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented that these ETF inflows are “just the beginning,” noting crypto ETFs still represent only ~2% of the global ETF market and signalling room for institutional growth. The article frames Gayed’s hint and the ETF inflows as evidence of rising institutional attention to XRP. This is informational and not financial advice.

Solana (SOL) has seen renewed attention after a wave of protocol upgrades and sustained developer activity that analysts say could support a move toward the $150 resistance. Planned network changes — including Alpenglow, MCP, BAM, Harmonic, XDP and p-token — target voting overhead, consensus hardening and vulnerabilities highlighted by external research. Developer tooling and new apps (Dflow, Meridian, Humidifi, Nous, MetaDAO, Ore, FlashTrade, Orb, Dupe) show traction across prediction markets, gaming and AI use cases as the ecosystem shifts from memecoin speculation to practical projects. On-chain metrics sit below prior peaks but are stronger than earlier cycles; SOL trades above short-term moving averages with rising momentum and volumes that could sustain upward moves if network upgrades proceed and trading interest holds. Key resistance levels remain the prior $150–$250 peaks, with analysts flagging that sustained volume and demonstrable network progress are required for a durable breakout. For traders: watch Alpenglow implementation, developer & user growth metrics, trading volume, and short-term moving averages to confirm momentum toward $150 or risk rejection at established resistance.

The IMF issued a departmental paper warning that large dollar‑pegged stablecoins — which account for roughly 97% of a $300+ billion market — risk accelerating currency substitution and eroding monetary sovereignty in weaker economies. The report highlights concentration among major issuers (notably Tether and Circle), and says stablecoins can bypass domestic banks and payment rails via smartphones and unhosted wallets, shifting savings and payments offshore and weakening central banks’ control over liquidity, credit, and interest‑rate transmission. It flags elevated risks from algorithmic or partially collateralized designs and notes that even fully fiat‑backed coins create macro‑financial vulnerabilities for small states due to dollar concentration. The IMF endorses the “same activity, same risk, same regulation” principle and calls for harmonized global rules: clear legal definitions, strict reserve and redemption standards, granular reserve disclosures, AML/CFT alignment, and cross‑border supervisory cooperation to prevent regulatory arbitrage and shadow‑banking‑style risks. The paper cautions that late‑issued CBDCs may struggle to displace entrenched private stablecoins. For market participants, the IMF frames dollar stablecoins as a monetary‑policy issue likely to prompt tighter, bank‑style regulation, higher compliance costs, and increased scrutiny of offshore venues and DeFi protocols that rely on unrestricted stablecoin flows.

The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) has reaffirmed the 2021 nationwide ban on virtual currencies and pledged continued crackdowns on crypto-related illegal finance following a Nov. 28 multi-agency meeting. The statement—issued with the Ministry of Public Security, Cyberspace Administration, China Securities Regulatory Commission, Supreme People’s Court and other bodies—noted a resurgence in speculative trading and crypto-enabled crime and singled out stablecoins as a major risk due to weak customer identification and anti‑money‑laundering controls and potential use in fraud and illicit cross‑border transfers. Authorities committed to enhanced information sharing, monitoring and enforcement to protect public assets and financial order. The renewed mainland stance contrasts with Hong Kong’s recent moves to regulate and support digital-asset activity—authorities there have advanced stablecoin frameworks and approved spot BTC/ETH ETFs and liquidity measures to attract institutional flows. Market takeaway for traders: elevated regulatory tail risk for projects tied to mainland China or mainland users (especially stablecoin-related products), potential negative sentiment for crypto exposure connected to Chinese entities, and increased probability that regional liquidity and institutional flows will channel into Hong Kong rather than mainland markets.

Malaysian authorities launched a nationwide crackdown on illegal Bitcoin mining after utilities estimated about $1.1 billion (≈RM4.57 billion) in stolen electricity from 2020 to August 2025. A multi-agency task force—including Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), police and regulators—used drone thermal imaging, smart-meter data and ground raids to detect meter tampering and abnormal draws. Operations targeted roughly 13,800–14,000 suspected sites in warehouses, shuttered shops and residential blocks. Officials reported seizures of large-scale mining rigs and arrests in cases with clear evidence of theft. Authorities warn of a ~300% rise in power-theft linked mining since 2018 and cite grid strain, fire and transformer damage risks. While Bitcoin mining itself is not banned, meter tampering violates the Electricity Supply Act 1990; regulators are considering tighter licensing, expanded smart-meter rollout and temporary restrictions on mining operations. Enforcement aims to stabilize the grid, recover utility losses and deter mobile illicit operators. For traders: the action raises regulatory and operational risk signals for large mining operations, may reduce illicit hashpower that has been opaque to the market, and could influence miner cost structures and future Bitcoin supply-side dynamics if tightened licensing or power limits are imposed.

Bitcoin institutional treasuries and large corporate holders are renewing bullish sentiment, spotlighting Layer-2 and presale tokens as potential short-term outperformers. The article highlights Strategy (Strategy?), which holds roughly $60B in BTC and treats its holdings as long-term reserves, and Twenty One Capital listing on the NYSE with ~43k BTC, reinforcing Bitcoin’s institutional adoption. The narrative argues that when large treasuries lock BTC, trading liquidity shifts toward on-chain infrastructure where fees, throughput and productive use of idle BTC matter. The piece promotes Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Bitcoin Layer-2 built on the Solana Virtual Machine with a BTC bridge, staking, fee-token mechanics and optional token burns; HYPER has reportedly raised $29M in presale at $0.013375. Other presale meme projects named include Maxi Doge (MAXI) and PepeNode (PEPENODE). The report notes broader market context — Circle and Mastercard integrating USDC, big corporate reserves in BTC, and Google blockchain plans — and closes with a standard risk disclaimer. Primary keywords: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Hyper, presale, institutional treasury, layer-2. Secondary/semantic keywords: BTC treasury, Solana Virtual Machine, bridging, staking, token burn, presale fundraising. Intended impact: traders should watch BTC treasury flows, presale volumes (HYPER), and adoption metrics for Layer-2 bridges as potential drivers of short-term altcoin moves.

Bitcoin tested support near $91,000 again as roughly $3.4 billion in Bitcoin options (36,906 contracts) were set to expire on Dec. 5. Price has rebounded about 10% from weekly lows near $84,000 but remains inside a descending pattern since November, forming repeated lower highs. Key technical levels: support around $90,000–$91,000 and resistance at $93,200–$93,500; a decisive break above $93,200 would invalidate the short-term bearish structure. The options market shows balanced sentiment — put-to-call ratio ~0.91 and maximum pain around $91,000. On-chain activity: miners added about $220 million to reserves. Analysts diverge: Javon Marks views recent higher lows as bullish and expects a move toward the $126,230 all-time high, while Michael van de Poppe warns a failure of $91,000 could retest the $85,000 area. For traders, immediate focus is on the options expiry, liquidity above $93.2K, and whether BTC holds current support; this will inform short-term risk management (stop levels near $90K–$91K) and position sizing ahead of potential volatility.

Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, told Blockchain Week Dubai attendees he believes the crypto market’s correction is over and a rapid bullish reversal is underway. Lee argued that institutional adoption and tokenisation rails being built on Ethereum by banks such as JPMorgan and firms like BlackRock could lift ETH’s role as a global settlement layer. Using historical ETH/BTC ratios as benchmarks, Lee outlined scenarios: a return to average ratio would put ETH near $12,000, a 2021-level ratio near $22,000, and an ambitious 0.25 ETH/BTC ratio could push ETH toward roughly $62,000. BitMine reported holding more than $12 billion in Ether; on-chain tracker Lookonchain flagged a recent BitMine purchase of 41,946 ETH (~$130.8M). Analysts urged caution: Ali Martinez noted ETH must clear resistance at $4,800, then $6,800 and $8,800 to sustain momentum. CryptoQuant data after the Fusaka upgrade showed Binance’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio rising to 0.998 (highest since August) and positive cumulative volume delta (CVD), suggesting traders are accumulating dips. Key takeaways for traders: model Lee’s bull case against concrete resistance levels, monitor ETH/BTC ratio and institutional flows, and watch Binance taker ratios and CVD for confirmation of trend continuation.

Grayscale’s Chainlink exchange-traded product (ticker: GLNK) posted a strong debut, attracting roughly $41–42 million in first‑day inflows and reaching about $64 million in assets within hours. The ETF gives U.S. investors exposure to Chainlink without holding the token directly and signals renewed institutional interest in oracle technology amid a soft market. Meanwhile, Nexchain — an AI-routing layer and blockchain presale project — is approaching the end of its Stage 29 allocation. Nexchain’s presale price remains fixed at $0.116, with a confirmed listing target of $0.30 (a projected ~259% uplift). The project reports $12,304,033 raised so far, low average fees (~$0.001), testnet 2.0 activity, and utility features for its NEX token including governance, staking, payments, AI-model access and a daily 10% gas-revenue distribution for non‑custodial holders. The presale accepts BTC, ETH, and USDT via WalletConnect on nexchain.ai. The article is a paid post/press release and not investment advice.

Nexchain’s presale has entered a high-activity phase as Stage 29 progresses at $0.116 per token with a confirmed listing price of $0.30. The project has raised $12.30M to date and is approaching the final allocation of the current stage. On-chain and testnet engagement have increased: Testnet 2.0 shows heavier use of contract-evaluation, wallet-scoring, and risk-tagging tools, while the AI routing layer dynamically redirects traffic and predicts congestion to keep fees near $0.001. Sharding enables parallel load handling, supporting consistent performance during rising usage. The presale structure keeps pricing predictable and supports WalletConnect and payments in BTC, ETH, and USDT. Nexchain markets multi-industry applications — financial analytics, medical data, supply-chain monitoring, IoT, decentralized AI training — and offers token holders 10% of network gas revenue distributed daily to non-custodial wallets. The update includes interface tweaks and backend stability fixes. Traders evaluating presales should weigh testnet performance, fixed-stage pricing (current 259% projected ROI to listing price), and growing real-world use-case messaging when assessing Nexchain’s near-term momentum.
