CAD 22 million. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Sanu Gold Corporation (CSE: SANU) (OTCQB: SNGCF) ("Sanu Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce drill results from its continued exploration program across its three exploration permits located in the prolific gold producing Siguiri Basin of Guinea, West Africa.

Martin Pawlitschek, President and CEO of Sanu Gold commented: "These latest results further confirm the strength and potential scale of the Daina gold system, underscoring its geological similarities to other well-established deposits in the district. The consistent intersections of significant gold mineralization across multiple targets—particularly at Daina 2, Daina 1 South and Salat East—continue to expand the footprint of this emerging mineralized trend. With mineralization remaining open along strike and at depth, and with both shallow oxide and deeper structurally controlled zones now well established, Daina presents an increasingly compelling opportunity for systematic follow-up and infill drilling beginning in Q1-2026.

We are also very encouraged by the ongoing progress at Bantabaye and Diguifara, where recent drilling, sampling and geophysical programs continue to outline broad gold-bearing structures with strong continuity and highly prospective grades. With the Company now fully funded to continue advancing and de-risking its exploration portfolio through FY-2026, we are excited to further explore and unlock the significant potential across our district-scale land package in the Siguiri Basin."

As shown in Table 1 below, the majority of the FY-2025 exploration efforts have focused on the Daina property and were conducted between January and late August. All assays have now been received and are informing the next drilling programme set to begin in early 2026. In the meantime, fieldwork and drilling preparations are currently underway.

At the Daina property, drilling has expanded both near-surface oxide and deeper structurally controlled gold mineralized zones over multiple kilometres, with all key targets remaining open for further growth. At Bantabaye, diamond drilling at Bantabaye 2 Target and continued soil, auger and IP work in the southern portion of the permit are defining broad structural corridors with strong gold anomalies, while high-grade historical workings are advancing toward targeted drill testing. While at Diguifara, drilling across several fault-controlled targets continues to return wide mineralized intervals, confirming a robust and extensive gold system.

DAINA PROPERTY
Daina is the Company's most advanced property, with ongoing drilling continuing to outline a large, multi-kilometre gold system across several closely spaced targets. Gold mineralization consistently intercepted at shallow depths and within deeper structural zones that remain wide open for expansion. The latest results have further strengthened the continuity of mineralization at Daina 2, Daina 1 South and Salat East, demonstrating well-defined structural controls and highlighting the potential for higher-grade shoots within a broader mineralized corridor. Multiple targets only partially drilled and several additional areas yet to be tested, Daina continues to present considerable upside opportunity as systematic exploration advances. Full set of results for all new drill intercepts are provided in Appendix 1.

As shown in Figure 1, a total 12,896 metres have been drilled at the Daina targets in FY-2025. This work was completed across 164 holes, including 109 AC holes totalling 5,541 metres, 46 RC holes totalling 5,180 metres, and 9 DD holes totalling 2,175 metres. The ongoing drill program remains focused on evaluating the lateral and downdip extensions of the gold-bearing structures previously identified at Daina 2, Daina 1 South, and Salat East.

Daina 2 Main Target
At the Daina 2 Main Target, diamond drilling has extended known mineralization to a vertical depth of approximately 245 metres and provided important geological and structural data to guide future targeting. Mineralized zones ranging from 5 to 50 metres in width now defined along more than 4-kilometres of a north-northwest-trending structure that remains open along strike and at depth, with several untested gaps offering clear opportunities for further expansion. As shown in Figure 2, recent drilling has continued to trace the mineralized trend to the south, confirming the continuity of the Daina 2 structure. Several significant new intercepts were returned, including intervals ending in End-of-Hole ("EOH"), highlighting the potential for additional mineralization at depth.

DAI-AC-130: 16m of 1.81 g/t Au (EOH) from 44m, including: 2m of 12.24 g/t Au from 48m DAI-AC-116: 12m of 1.71 g/t Au from 12m, including: 2m of 3.9 g/t Au from 20m DAI-AC-136: 6m of 1.26 g/t Au (EOH) from 36m, including: 2m of 3.23 g/t Au from 38m DAI-RC-090: 12m of 1.32 g/t Au from 54m, including: 4m of 3.02 g/t Au from 62m

Lithologies consist of sedimentary rocks composed of turbidites sequences of alternating layers of sandstone, siltstone and shale and mineralized zones consisting of a deformed and altered greywacke layer immediately in the hanging wall of the shear zone. Mineralization consists of quartz and quartz-carbonate veinlets, fine disseminated pyrite and rare arsenopyrite. The style of mineralization is typical to what is described from other deposits in the district.

Structural measurements on oriented diamond core demonstrate the main structure controlling the gold mineralization is a north northwest-striking reverse brittle-ductile shear zone, moderately dipping southwest. These measurements are consistent with previous structural interpretations obtained from outcrops and exposed rocks from historical workings. The footwall side of the shear zone is occupied by a sequence of black shale.

Daina 1 South Target
At the Daina 1 South Target, diamond, RC and AC drilling has further tested the southern depth extensions of the Daina Property to a vertical depth of 200 meters with variable widths ranging from 50 meters to 200 meters. The Daina 1 South Target is defined as a 1.3-kilometre north-northwest trending structure which remains open for significant expansion along strike and at depth.

As shown in Figure 3 below, the drill program has followed the strike of the Daina deposit to the south to continue to define the structure, with significant new interceptions shown below:

DAI-DD-004: 9m of 1.22 g/t Au from 175m including: 1m of 9.56 g/t Au from 175m DAI-AC-092: 24m of 0.72 g/t Au from 34m including: 1m of 7.03 g/t Au from 44m DAI-RC-089: 50m of 0.31 g/t Au from 28m including: 1m of 1.21 g/t Au from 28m DAI-AC-093: 22m of 0.40 g/t Au from 18m including: 1m of 1.21 g/t Au from 28m DAI-AC-094: 10m of 0.83 g/t Au from 46m, including: 1m of 1.92 g/t Au from 52m The gold structure at the Daina 1 South Target forms multiple parallel mineralized structures, partly exposed in large and active historical workings. Oriented diamond core shows the gold structures are hosted in a hydrothermally altered greywacke unit. Structural measurements revealed multiple northwest-striking moderately northeast-dipping brittle-ductile sheared zone systems at the contact between the greywacke in the hanging wall of the fault and a high chargeability graphitic siltstone layer in the footwall. The host greywacke is crosscut by a system of steeply dipping and highly mineralized quartz carbonate veins and stockworks that host the gold mineralization.

Salat East Target
At the Salat East Target, diamond drilling tested a 500-meter segment of north-northeast striking, gold-bearing structures hosted in a hydrothermally altered and sheared granodiorite. Mineralized zones have been identified from surface to a depth of at least 150 meters with widths varying between 50 meters to 100 meters, remaining open along strike and at depth, and near one of AngloGold Ashanti's mining permit.

The intrusive at the Salat East Target is cut by a north northeast-striking and moderately northwest dipping gold-bearing shear. The host granodiorite is extensively sheared and hydrothermally altered; it is associated with a zone of elevated chargeability and resistivity and coincides with a well-defined line of surface artisanal workings. Gold mineralization at the Salat East Target is controlled by a network of steeply dipping cm-scale and closely spaced quartz carbonate veins and veinlets associated with disseminated pyrite and fine-grained arsenopyrites within the altered and sheared granodiorites.

As shown in Figure 4 below, new drilling results have followed the strike of the Salat structure, with significant new intercepts shown below:

DAI-RC-095: 21m of 1.02 g/t Au from 17m, including: 5m of 1.80 g/t Au from 20m, 3m of 1.92 g/t Au from 29m DAI-DD-005: 20m of 0.66 g/t Au from 175m, including: 1m of 1.18 g/t Au from 181m, 1m of 1.42 g/t Au from 186m, 1m of 1.56 g/t Au from 190m, 1m of 1.87 g/t Au from 194m, and 1m of 15.41 g/t Au from 281m

Daina Next Steps
Follow-up work has already begun at Daina to refine targets ahead of the 2026 drill program, which is set to resume in Q1-2026, and expected to focus on expanding the extensive shallow and deeper gold zones discovered to date:

At Daina 2 Target, infill AC and RC drilling is planned on the remaining gaps of the defined structure.At Salat East Target, an IP Survey is planned to follow the identified strike to the northwest where it remains open, followed by further RC and AC drilling At Daina 1 Target, an IP Survey is planned over the 9km gap between Daina 1 South and Daina 1 North followed by further RC and AC drillingA program of additional target definition consisting of IP survey lines and auger sampling lines followed by AC and RC drill lines is planned for a series of surface gold anomalies that so far remain untested. BANTABAYE PROPERTY
At the Bantabaye property encouraging drill results are emerging from both the northern and southern parts of the permit. At the Bantabaye 2 Target in the north, oriented diamond drilling has confirmed that the gold-bearing structure extends to depth and remains open, adding confidence that the system has meaningful scale potential, given its 4-kilometre overall strike length that has so far only been partially drill tested. In the south, a combination of soil and auger sampling, rock-chip results from active artisanal workings, and 93 kilometres of IP geophysics have outlined multiple well-structured gold anomalies extending over more than 8 kilometres of strike, defining new high-priority drill targets. Full set of results for all new drill intercepts are provided in Appendix 1.

Bantabaye 2 Target
At the Bantabaye 2 Target, the drill program prioritized depth extensions of previously intercepted near surface gold mineralization. A total of 601 meters has been drilled on the Bantabaye 2 Target in FY-2025, completed across three DD holes. As shown in Figure 5 below, new drilling results continue to define the depth of the structure, with significant new intercepts shown below:

BANT-DD-001: 4m of 3.00 g/t Au from 169m, including: 1m of 8.12 g/t Au from 170mBANT-DD-003: 14m of 0.87 g/t Au from 62m, including: 4m of 2.39 g/t Au from 64m

Bantabaye South Target
At Bantabaye South, a target definition exploration was undertaken in FY-2025 utilizing an array of exploration techniques including induced IP survey, soil sampling, infill termite mound and auger drilling campaigns to plan drilling for Q1-2026.

IP Survey
A ground geophysical survey was completed at the Bantabaye South area, covering Target 9 and Target 10 and consisting of 93 kilometres of IP survey.

The objective of the ground geophysical survey program was the mapping of geophysical features, including chargeability and resistivity, to identify bedrock structures that display potential associations with bedrock gold mineralization to inform follow up drill testing. Most of the southern part of the Bantabaye permit is covered by thick laterite plateaus lacking any outcrop of the bedrock, requiring the use of geophysical survey methods to inform exploration. The IP survey consisted of 36 east-west oriented and 200m spaced lines that varied from 1,250m to 3,000m in length, as shown in Figure 7 below.

Figure 7: Bantabaye South Target gold in soil anomalies

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8941/277716_7b974da0b49ffab2_008full.jpg

The IP data was collected, processed, and interpreted by SAGAX Afrique of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, using the standard induced polarization resistivity method. Interpretation of the IP survey results indicates the presence of strong resistivity, chargeability and conductivity lineaments parallel to known geology and structures. Structural interpretation of geophysics features defines structures parallel to the termite mound and auger gold geochemistry trends that will be followed up with future drill testing.

Termite Mound and Soil Sampling
In parallel to the IP survey and infill termite mound and soil sampling program, was conducted, at Bantabaye South totalling 911 samples on a 50 meter by 100-meter grid pattern, with 21 samples returning values between 0.1 g/t and 1.4 g/t Au, as shown on Figure 7 above.

The results of the soil sampling program better define the high-priority anomalies previously outlined by surface sampling, auger, and IP survey, highlighting prominent and well-structured northwest trending gold anomalies along a north trending corridor, interpreted to represent the Bantabaye thrust fault system, with the gold mineralization trends mapped over a 10-kilometre strike length. High-grade gold samples were obtained from rock chip sampling in extensive and active artisanal mining zone at Target 10 including 48.2 g/t, 7.58 g/t and 5 g/t Au.

Auger Drilling
An auger drill program was conducted on Bantabaye South, designed to sample the weathered bedrock below the surface gold anomalies at Targets 9 and 10, to then aid with the design of an RC drill testing program. A total of 220 auger holes totalling 3,552 meters were completed in FY-2025.

Assay results from the program confirm gold lineaments previously interpreted from termite mound anomalies at Target 9 and Target 10. Significant gold-in-auger anomalies with broad widths of anomalous gold results in the weathered bedrock and in the very thick (20-30m) laterite cap, were defined with this program. The auger defined gold trends are located within the surface gold anomalies and align with the interpreted structural trends, and in some places coincide with the trends of the artisanal mining areas.

Bantabaye Next Steps
At Bantabaye, newly defined, high-priority targets on the southern structures will undergo their first drill test in Q1-2026, following up on high-priority areas targeted through soil anomalies and artisanal workings:

At Bantabaye South, RC and AC drill testing is planned on Targets 9 and 10 to follow up on the strong geochemical and geophysical results interpreted thus far while additional IP lines will be completed on the existing gridAt Bantabaye North, an auger sampling campaign is planned to begin in Q1-2026 to further refine the interpretation of gold trends along the main Bantabaye thrust to inform a further RC and DD programme for later in the yearDIGUIFARA PROPERTY
The drilling completed during 2025 at Diguifara continues to demonstrate the presence of a broad and persistent gold system across multiple parallel structures that extend for hundreds of metres along strike. Drilling has outlined wide zones of gold mineralization from surface and at depth at three separate targets, indicating strong scale potential within this emerging structural corridor. With the mineralized trends remaining open in all directions and only sparsely drilled to date, follow-up work is focused on identifying higher-grade zones and expanding the overall footprint of the system. Diguifara represents an attractive pipeline opportunity within Sanu Gold's project portfolio, with substantial upside remaining as exploration advances. Full set of results for all new drill intercepts are provided in Appendix 1.

Diguifara 1 Target
The Diguifara 1 Target gold structure strikes north-northwest over 850 meters in length, with a width of 160 meters in the main zone and forming an extension dilation jog between two parallel NNW trending fault structures.

Core observations from the interpreted geological data show that gold mineralization is associated with hydrothermally altered and fractured, thick greywacke beds interbedded with layers of fine-grained and locally sheared siltstones and shales. The host greywacke rock is crosscut by a complex quartz carbonated vein system and stockworks that host the gold mineralization.

Significant new intercepts include:

DIG-AC-008: 66m of 0.33 g/t Au from 12m, including: 2m of 2.21 g/t Au from 12mDIG-RC-005: 52m of 0.30 g/t Au from 78m, including: 2m of 1.02 g/t Au from 106mDIG-DD-002: 30m of 0.38 g/t Au from 213m, including: 1m of 2.35 g/t Au from 222mDIG-AC-001: 24m of 0.37 g/t Au from 38m, including: 2m of 1.86 g/t Au from 60mDIG-RC-003: 27m of 0.34 g/t Au from 100m, including: 2m of 1.44 g/t Au from 104mDIG-RC-004: 16m of 0.30 g/t Au from 24m, including: 2m of 1.19 g/t Au from 30mDIG-RC-009: 14m of 0.71 g/t Au from 106m, including: 2m of 3.97 g/t Au from 114mDIG-DD-001: 14m of 0.60 g/t Au from 296m, including: 1m of 5.64 g/t Au from 296mDiguifara 2 Target
The Diguifara 2 Target structure extends for about 1 kilometre of strike length in a northwestern direction. The drill program interpreted numerous parallel but narrow mineralized structures that strike north-northwest for over one kilometre, within a similar geological setting to the Diguifara 1 Target.

Significant new intercepts include:

DIG-DD-003: 5m of 1.47 g/t Au from 107m, including: 1m of 5.97 g/t Au 110mDIG-AC-015: 16m of 0.37 g/t Au from 42m, including 2m of 1.47 g/t Au 50mDIG-AC-044: 18m of 0.35 g/t Au from 12mIG-AC-041: 22m of 0.30 g/t Au from 40mDiguifara 3 Target
The Diguifara 3 Target structure extends for about 750 meters of strike length in a northwestern direction. The drill program intercepted numerous parallel but narrow mineralized structures that strike north-northwest for over one kilometre within a similar geological setting to the Diguifara 1 Target. Within the main zone, the drill program interpreted a strike of over 750 meters with widths of up to 58 meters. The mineralized structure sits in a zone interpreted to be dilation jog parallel to a regional north-northwest trending fault structure.

Core observations confirmed show that gold mineralization at the Diguifara 3 Target is similar to that of Target 1 and is associated with hydrothermally altered and fractured thick greywacke rock interbedded with layer of fine-grained and locally sheared turbidite. The host greywacke rock is crosscut by a complex quartz carbonated veins system and stockworks that host the gold mineralization.

Significant new intercepts include:

DIG-AC-025: 18m of 0,31 g/t Au from 16m, including: 2m of 1.01 g/t Au from 32m DIG-RC-007: 58m of 0.38 g/t Au from 42m DIG-RC-017: 46m of 0.35 g/t Au from 48m DIG-AC-030: 42m of 0.34 g/t Au from 0m DIG-RC-008: 40m of 0.39 g/t Au from 8m DIG-AC-024: 34m of 0.55 g/t Au from 2m, including 4m of 1.49 g/t Au from 8mDIG-AC-023: 34m of 0.37 g/t Au from 38m DIG-RC-018: 38m of 0.30 g/t Au from 26m DIG-DD-004: 29m of 0.30 g/t Au from 98m DIG-AC-028: 26m of 0.34 g/t Au from 2m DIG-AC-029: 19m of 0.36 g/t Au from 0mDiguifara Next Steps
The wide-open trends at Diguifara provide substantial upside through continued drilling aimed at identifying higher-grade shoots and expanding the footprint of mineralization.

At Diguifara Targets 1, 2 and 3, wide spaced follow up RC and AC drilling is scheduled in H1-2026 with the goal of delineating high-grade zones within the identified structures.Additional surface geochemistry and auger samplings is planned on identified targets that have not yet been tested.Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")

Sampling was completed at 2-meter composite intervals, except where holes were terminated at an uneven depth meterage, in which cases 1-meter intervals were sampled. Sampling followed industry's best practices, utilizing large riffle splitters, conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. An appropriate number and type of certified reference materials (standards) and blanks totaling 5% of the total number of samples shipped to the laboratory were inserted approximately every 20th sample to ensure an effective QA/QC program was carried out.

Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results. All samples were analyzed using CPA-Au1 (Gamma ray analysis of sample for gold by photon assay instrument) at the MSALABS SAS in Bamako, Mali ("MSALABS"). MSALABS is an internationally recognized and commercially certified laboratory and is independent of Sanu Gold.

December 11, 2025 7:00 AM EST | Source: Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QIMC" or the "Company") announces an acceleration of its hydrogen-AI strategy in Nova Scotia amid unprecedented industry staking activity along the province's emerging natural hydrogen corridor.

In recent weeks, QIMC has seen intense claim staking by major players, including Koloma, a leading natural hydrogen developer based in Denver, Colorado, as well as several global resource companies. This momentum includes Rio Tinto's recent acquisition of more than 5,000 new mining claims in areas adjacent to the Company's properties. This rapid expansion validates the growing recognition by global resource and energy leaders of the natural hydrogen potential of the Nova Scotia basin.

While some players focus on accumulating large acreage, QIMC's scientific and data-driven approach is highly targeted and based on structurally validated hydrogen systems derived from geophysical data, soil gas measurements, field observations, and scientific collaborations. The Company retains control of key fault-oriented and structurally connected areas, including vertical migration pathways commonly referred to as "hydrogen chimneys."

These chimneys represent deeply rooted structural conduits that allow hydrogen generated at depth to migrate to the surface through fault intersections and fractured corridors. Management believes these features are fundamental to accumulation and repeated degassing, giving QIMC a distinct strategic advantage over simple large land holdings.

"The scale and pace of recent staking activity confirms that Nova Scotia is establishing itself as a global hub for natural hydrogen," said John Karagiannidis, President and CEO of QIMC. "Our strength lies not only in our strategic district-scale land package, but in our ability to identify and secure the most structurally critical corridors and vertical migration chimneys within this system at an early stage."

Acceleration of Hydrogen-AI Strategy

In response to this market momentum and the growing demand for clean, sovereign energy solutions, QIMC is accelerating its vertical integration initiative. This strategy aims to deploy a fully off-grid artificial intelligence (AI) data center infrastructure powered directly by natural hydrogen.

The Company has expanded and activated its AI and Energy Integration Steering Committee, responsible for advancing feasibility work, negotiating partner commitments, and establishing execution frameworks for the deployment of modular hydrogen-powered computing infrastructure in Nova Scotia.

The Committee's mandate includes:

Defining site-selection criteria, including proximity to structural hydrogen stacks;Evaluating hydrogen-to-power conversion pathways suitable for baseload operation;Advancing fully off-grid architecture principles to avoid competition with local electricity demand;Supporting structured dialogue with North American partners in the cloud infrastructure and AI-computing sectors."The convergence of natural hydrogen systems and compute infrastructure enables a fundamentally new energy-to-application model," added Karagiannidis. "As competition for clean energy and compute accelerates, QIMC is moving decisively from exploration toward application-driven development and extraction."

About Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC)

Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) is a mineral exploration and development company dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of North America's abundant resources.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Naughty Ventures Corp. (CSE: BAD) (OTC Pink: YORKF) (FSE: 5DE0) ("Naughty Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked a strategic 5,300-hectare land package, hereinafter referred to as the LYNXSTRIKE Gold Project, directly adjoining Trident Resources Corp.'s ("Trident") emerging high-grade Contact Lake Gold Discovery in the La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan.

This strategic land position places Naughty Ventures immediately beside one of Canada's most exciting new gold discoveries-including Trident's standout drill result announced on November 12, 2025:

7.03 g/t Au over 43.25 metres, including 30.06 g/t Au over 9.25 metres (Hole CL25-003) (1)The discovery sits within the area of the former Cameco Contact Lake Gold Mine, which was decommissioned in 1998 after historic drilling failed to identify additional gold zones. Trident's new intercept changes the geological outlook for the district, revealing untapped expansion potential in an area long believed to be exhausted.

District Context

Following Hole CL25-003, Trident announced a significant upgrade to its overall resource base across four deposits in the La Ronge Gold Belt (3):

896,500 Indicated Au ounces

1,129,600 Inferred Au ounces

The Contact Lake intercept is not yet included in these updated Mineral Resource Estimates, underscoring the potential for substantial future growth in the district.

Blair Naughty, Chief Executive Officer of Naughty Ventures, commented:

"We have been closely monitoring the rapid progress at Contact Lake, and Hole CL25-003 immediately stood out as a transformational intercept. Learning that this new discovery occurred within the historic Contact Lake Mine area-previously believed to be exhausted-changes the exploration landscape in the area. We moved quickly to secure a directly adjoining land position with similar geology, historic gold occurrences, and excellent road access. Our shareholders now have direct exposure to what may be becoming one of the most compelling new gold districts in Canada. We look forward to advancing LYNXSTRIKE while continuing to follow Trident's success."

In a pretreated population of participants with advanced/metastatic cancer and the majority with prior PD-(L)1 treatment, BHV-1510 2.5 mg/kg Q3W plus cemiplimab resulted in confirmed objective response rates 3/5 (60%) in NSCLC, 4/4 (100%) in endometrial cancer, and 1/2 (50%) in urothelial cancer 
There were low rates of adverse events attributed to unconjugated payload such as hematological toxicities and diarrhea, and there were no cases of interstitial lung disease, showing a differentiated safety profile of BHV-1510 from other Trop2 ADCs
BHV-1510, a highly differentiated Trop2 ADC incorporating the proprietary TopoIx payload, demonstrates encouraging early clinical activity and favorable safety profile in a Phase 1 study in combination with the anti-PD-1 cemiplimab
, /PRNewswire/ -- Biohaven Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN) announced today that it presented clinical safety and efficacy data for BHV-1510 at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Immuno-Oncology Congress, taking place from December 10-12, 2025, in London, United Kingdom. The presentation highlights Biohaven's novel next-generation trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2) directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC), BHV-1510, in combination with Regeneron's anti-PD-1 cemiplimab demonstrating efficacy and manageable safety across several tumors.

Figure 3

At the BHV-1510 dose of 2.5 mg/kg Q3W in combination with cemiplimab, confirmed ORR was 72.7%. Confirmed responses were observed in 3/5 (60%) in NSCLC, 4/4 (100%) in endometrial cancer, which included a complete response, and 1/2 (50%) in urothelial cancer (Fig.1). In all 23 efficacy evaluable participants treated with BHV-1510 in combination with cemiplimab across dose levels, as of the clinical cutoff date (October 10, 2025) the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 52.2%, with confirmed objective responses in 6/14 (42.9%) in NSCLC, 4/6 (66.7%) in endometrial cancer, and 1/2 (50%) in urothelial cancer (Fig. 2). A confirmed response was reported in the participant with triple negative breast cancer. The majority of participants had tumor reduction on their first scan, with a median time to response of 11.1 weeks. Participants remain on study at 6 months and beyond, 18 participants continue on the study treatment at time of the clinical cutoff date (Fig.3).

Ida Micaily, M.D., M.S., Principal Investigator and Assistant Professor at Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Jefferson stated, "We are excited by this emerging data and the potential synergy of BHV-1510 with cemiplimab. The early responses we are observing in these difficult-to-treat tumors—despite patients having received prior therapies, including other PD-1/PD-L1 agents—are particularly encouraging. We also have patients remaining on therapy beyond six months, suggesting the potential for durable disease control."

In the population studied, the median prior lines of therapy for advanced/metastatic disease were two and the majority (87.1%) had prior PD-(L)1 exposure with 16 participants (51.6%) receiving a PD-(L)1 as the most recent treatment prior to receiving study treatment. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached and only one participant had a dose limiting toxicity of stomatitis (Grade 3) at the 2.75 mg/kg Q3W dose. As of the clinical cutoff date, a total of 31 participants were treated with the combination of BHV-1510 and cemiplimab, with BHV-1510 doses ranging from 2-2.75 mg/kg Q3W and 1.25-1.5 mg/kg D1D8Q3W. Cemiplimab was given at 350 mg Q3W.

Across all doses BHV-1510, was generally well tolerated with a safety profile differentiated from other Trop-2 ADCs.  The rate of neutrophil count decrease was low and manageable; all Grade (Grade ≥3), 12.9% (6.5%). Similarly, the rates of treatment emergent diarrhea and alopecia were low; all Grade (Grade ≥3), 6.5% (0) and 9.7% respectively. The most frequent toxicity observed was oral mucositis/stomatitis all Grade (Grade ≥3), 59.1% (22.7%) in the Q3W regimen and all Grade (Grade ≥3), 33.3% (11.1%) in the D1D8Q3W regimen. This is a well-known class effect which is manageable. Importantly, there were no cases of interstitial lung disease, and no participants discontinued treatment due to an adverse event. Treatment emergent SAEs were reported in 4 participants, none of which were related to the study treatment. The pharmacokinetic profile for BHV-1510 was favorable, the unconjugated payload concentration was low with a payload-to-ADC molar ratio < 1%, indicating that ADC was highly stable in the circulation.

Nushmia Khokhar, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Oncology at Biohaven, commented, "Continued preliminary clinical data with BHV-1510 in patients who have received and progressed on standard-of-care treatment, including prior anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy, are highly encouraging. These findings—together with the early promising efficacy, differentiated safety profile, lack of payload-related toxicity, enabled by our novel TopoIx payload and stable linker technology—underscores the potential for BHV-1510 to move into earlier lines of therapy, in particular with checkpoint inhibitor combinations, for these challenging tumor types."

ToplineMajor AI stocks slumped in premarket trading early on Thursday, led by an 11% decline in Oracle’s share price after the cloud computing giant released quarterly earnings on Wednesday that missed analysts' expectations.

Oracle shares are down more than 11% in the premarket on Thursday.

AP2007

Key FactsIn premarket trading early on Thursday, Oracle’s stock slumped to $197.33, down more than 11.5% from Wednesday’s market close.

Shares of Nvidia, the top AI chipmaker, dropped around 1.6% to $180.80 in early trading, while rival AMD’s shares fell 1.73% to $217.60.

Chipmakers Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Intel, were also affected by the selloff, with their shares falling 1.74%, 1.09%, and 1.47%, respectively.

Other key AI stocks, Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon, dropped 0.70%, 1.16%, 0.6% and 0.8% respectively.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq futures index dropped to 25,599.25 points, down 0.78% early on Thursday morning, while the benchmark S&P futures index fell 0.56% to 6,852.75 points.

TangentThe market slump comes despite the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower interest rates by a quarter-point to between 3.5% and 3.75%, down from 3.75% and 4%. The central bank forecasts suggest there could be another quarter-point interest rate cut in 2026, followed by one more in 2027. Bloomberg also reported that investors have dialed down their expectations for further rate cuts in 2026 from three to two. The markets were initially buoyed by the rate cuts, with the S&P 500 closing nearly 0.7% up at 6,886.68 points, just shy of an all-time high.

Key BackgroundIn its Q2 earnings report released on Wednesday, Oracle reported revenue of $16.06 billion, below Wall Street estimates of $16.21 billion. The software giant has seen its stock price surge in 2025, as it pivoted its focus towards building AI cloud data centers. In its earnings call, the company said it expects third-quarter earnings of $1.64-$1.68 per share, coming below analyst estimates of around $1.72 per share. The company also said its capital expenditure for the current fiscal year, ending in May 2026, will be $50 billion—a $15 billion increase from its previous forecast.

What To Watch For?According to Forbes’ estimates, Oracle founder and CTO Larry Ellison’s net worth currently stands at $276.4 billion, making him the world’s second-richest person behind Elon Musk. The slump in Oracle’s stock, however, could see Ellison’s ranking drop on Forbes’ Real Time Billionaires list after markets open.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF) and Point Bonita Capital for potential violations of the federal securities laws after SEC probe is revealed.

Why are Jefferies and Point Bonita being Investigated?

Jefferies is an investment banking and capital markets firm. Its trade finance arm is named Point Bonita Capital. Jefferies and Point Bonita were two of the closest banking and financing partners of First Brands Group, LLC, an auto parts supplier which collapsed into bankruptcy in September 2025.

On October 8, 2025, Jefferies announced that it and Point Bonita had approximately $715 million in exposure to First Brands’ receivables, which represents roughly 25% of Point Bonita’s trade finance portfolio. On this news, the price of Jefferies stock fell $4.66 per share, or about 8%, from $59.10 per share on October 7, 2025, to $54.44 per share on October 8, 2025. Investors are reportedly currently seeking redemptions from Point Bonita as well.

On November 27, 2025, it was reported that the SEC is seeking information about whether Jefferies gave investors in its Point Bonita fund enough information about their exposure to the auto business, which filed for bankruptcy in September with $12bn in debt. It was also reported that the SEC is also looking into internal controls and potential conflicts within and between different parts of the bank.

BFA is currently investigating whether Jefferies and/or Point Bonita made materially false and misleading statements to investors in connection with this significant exposure to First Brands and the subsequent SEC probe into the company.

Bitcoin trades about 27% below its $125k high, yet 67% of supply remains in profit above the key 50% band, signaling only moderate bearish pressure so far.​

Summary

Bitcoin has corrected roughly 27–35% from its October all-time high near $125k, but two-thirds of supply still sits in profit versus acquisition price.​
The supply-in-profit metric, tracked by Adler AM, stays above the 50% “capitulation” line, echoing early-2022 correction conditions rather than a full market top or deep bear.​
Short-term moving averages and a recovering drawdown suggest a local base may be forming, though a drop in profitable supply below 50% could quickly deepen downside risk.

Bitcoin has declined 27% from its all-time high of $125,000 to approximately $90,000, yet 67% of the cryptocurrency’s supply remains in profit, according to market analysis from Adler AM.

The metric, which tracks the share of Bitcoin (BTC) supply currently trading above its acquisition price, remains above the critical 50% threshold. During the 2023 market bottom, the indicator fell to 46%, according to the analysis. Current values resemble conditions observed at the beginning of a prolonged correction period in 2022.

Market analysts note that as long as the metric stays above 50%, the market structure appears only moderately bearish. A break below this level could indicate elevated risk and potentially intensify correction pressure, according to the report.

Bitcoin down from all-time-high
Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $125,000 in early October before entering a correction phase that produced a peak drawdown of 35%. The drawdown has since recovered to 27.6%, with the one-week simple moving average beginning to turn upward, the analysis stated.

The current 67% profit level stands below the 90%-plus levels typically associated with market tops, while remaining well above the sub-50% capitulation zone, according to the report. The reduction in drawdown from the 35% peak indicates a recovery process and suggests the formation of a short-term base.

Price action has shown stabilization following a November correction, with short-term moving averages beginning to turn upward. The supply-in-profit metric’s position above the 50% threshold indicates the market is balancing between selling pressure and attempts to establish a sustainable local bottom, according to the analysis.

XRP price risked a 15% drop to as low as $1.73, fuelled by collapsing transaction fees, reduced speculator appetite and a weakening technical structure.

XRP’s (XRP) drop toward $2 was preceded by a significant drop in transaction fees, which analysts said may fuel a deeper price correction.

Key takeaways:

XRP transaction fees have dropped to 650 XRP per day, levels last seen in December 2020.

XRP’s descending triangle targets $1.73. 

XRP transaction fees drops to five-year lowsThe total daily transaction fees on XRP Ledger (XRPL) have dropped significantly since the beginning of the year, according to onchain data provider Glassnode. 

The total fees paid daily on XRP have dropped to about 650 XRP per day from 5,900 XRP per day on Feb. 9, Glassnode said in a Thursday post on X, adding:

“This marks an 89% decline to levels last seen since December 2020.” XRP transaction fees. Source: GlassnodeThe drop in transaction fees coincides with a sharp drop in XRP’s futures open interest (OI), which has fallen to 0.74 billion XRP from 1.75 billion XRP in early October, representing a 59% flush-out.

Paired with the funding rates dropping to 0.001% from 0.01% (7D-SMA), this suggests reduced confidence among derivatives traders in XRP’s ability to recover.

XRP: Futures open interest. Source: GlassnodeAs Cointelegraph reported, social sentiment toward XRP has tanked into the “fear zone,” the most FUD since early October, but some analysts say such a drop could be a precursor for a massive rally in XRP price, as seen in the past.

XRP’s descending triangle targets $1.73Price technicals for the XRP/USD pair are also showing a potential risk of dropping lower if it completes a descending triangle pattern.

The chart below points to more downside risk if the price breaks below the triangle’s support line at $2. 

The measured target of the pattern, calculated by adding the triangle’s height to the breakout point, is $2.20, representing a 15% decline from the current price.

XRP/USD daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewAs Cointelegraph reported, the area between $2 and $1.98 remains a key support zone for XRP, and holding is crucial to avoiding further losses to $1.61.

On December 11, Polkadot’s cryptocurrency (DOT) was trading close to the $2 mark, revisiting its long-standing accumulation zone first identified in 2022. This price band has been seen as a critical support area by market analysts, including Egrag Crypto, who speculates about a structural support but warns that a definitive price bottom has yet to be confirmed.

Polkadot’s return to this range has reignited discussions among investors about its potential for a future price surge. The $2 mark has been a focal point for traders, serving as a psychological barrier and a signal for long-term investors. Since its inception in 2016, Polkadot has been touted as a key player in the world of blockchain interoperability, allowing different blockchains to share information and process transactions seamlessly. This innovative approach has positioned Polkadot as a significant competitor in the decentralized technology landscape.

The current market environment for cryptocurrencies is marked by significant volatility, with macroeconomic factors such as inflation rates and regulatory changes influencing investor sentiments. Despite these challenges, Polkadot’s consistent return to its $2 price zone suggests a level of resilience. The cryptocurrency’s ability to maintain this support level amid broader market fluctuations indicates that there could be underlying factors contributing to its stability.

One aspect that has supported Polkadot’s position is its unique governance model, which allows token holders to participate directly in decision-making processes. This participatory approach has attracted a dedicated community, reinforcing the network’s security and adaptability. Moreover, Polkadot’s interoperability feature, which facilitates communication between different blockchain networks, has been a compelling attribute for developers seeking to build cross-chain applications.

In comparison to other cryptocurrencies, Polkadot’s market performance has been relatively stable. While Bitcoin and Ethereum often experience dramatic price swings, Polkadot’s fluctuations have been more measured, providing a sense of predictability for investors wary of excessive volatility. This steadiness can be partially attributed to its robust ecosystem of parachains—customizable and project-specific blockchains that run alongside the main network.

Despite these positive indicators, there are potential risks associated with investing in Polkadot. The cryptocurrency market remains heavily influenced by unpredictable factors such as government regulations and technological advancements. For instance, stricter regulatory measures targeting cryptocurrencies could impact Polkadot’s operations and investor confidence. Additionally, advancements in blockchain technology by competitors could potentially overshadow Polkadot’s current innovations, making it crucial for the network to continue evolving.

Adding to the speculative atmosphere is the historical backdrop. In the early 2020s, various cryptocurrencies, including Polkadot, experienced unprecedented growth fueled by mainstream adoption and increased institutional interest. However, as the market matured, a series of corrections highlighted the importance of fundamental strength and technological innovation over speculative hype. This historical context emphasizes the need for Polkadot to maintain its technological edge and community engagement to sustain investor interest.

Despite these challenges, Polkadot’s development team has remained proactive, consistently working on network upgrades to enhance functionality and security. The introduction of new parachains and the expansion of use cases have reinforced its market position, providing a foundation for potential growth. With ongoing advancements, Polkadot aims to strengthen its role in facilitating cross-chain transactions, a crucial capability as the blockchain ecosystem becomes more interconnected.

In the global context, the demand for blockchain solutions continues to grow across various industries, from finance to supply chain management. Polkadot’s ability to provide efficient cross-chain communication makes it a valuable asset for enterprises seeking to leverage blockchain technology’s advantages. As more businesses look to integrate blockchain solutions, Polkadot’s offerings could see increased adoption, further solidifying its market presence.

While the $2 price level may seem modest, especially in comparison to the peaks achieved by other major cryptocurrencies, its significance lies in the stability and resilience it represents. Investors looking for long-term opportunities may find Polkadot’s consistent performance appealing, particularly those focused on technological innovation and community-driven governance.

Nonetheless, as the cryptocurrency market evolves, Polkadot will need to navigate the challenges posed by emerging technologies and regulatory developments. The potential for growth exists, but it will require strategic adaptability and continued community engagement to maintain its trajectory. Investors and analysts alike will be watching closely, as Polkadot’s ability to sustain its position could signal broader trends within the blockchain industry.

In conclusion, Polkadot’s revisit to the $2 accumulation zone highlights both its potential and challenges in the current market landscape. With its strong technological foundation and active community, Polkadot is well-positioned to capitalize on future opportunities. However, investors should remain vigilant, considering both the benefits and risks associated with this dynamic and rapidly evolving market. As with any investment, a comprehensive understanding of market conditions and technological advancements is essential to making informed decisions.

Gelephu Mindfulness City introduces sovereign gold-backed digital token TER, leveraging Solana blockchain to bring physical gold into the digital realm. Bhutan announced the launch of TER, a gold-backed digital token, on December 11, 2025, through Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).

Bitcoin price today fell below $90,000, wiping nearly $170 billion from the crypto market in just one day. But this crash is only the beginning of a bigger problem. Weak liquidity, negative on-chain signals, and the Federal Reserve’s latest decision are all adding more pressure.

All these signs together raise concerns about whether the market is preparing for a deeper fall.

Fed’s Latest Rate Cut Led Market Drop Bitcoin faced sharp selling as traders responded to the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 25 bps, but then delivered a surprise message. 

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said there may be no more rate cuts before the January 2026 meeting. This bearish tone pushed risk assets lower, driving Bitcoin toward the $89,000 zone.

On top of that, the Fed announced it would buy $40 billion in Treasury bills within 30 days, a move it claims is not “money printing,” but experts say it shows stress in the money market.

This pressure pushed gold prices higher and made investors pull money away from riskier assets like crypto.

Crypto Market Crashes as Liquidation Reaches $520 millionAs fear spread, the total crypto market cap dropped from $3.24 trillion to $3.07 trillion in a few hours. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index also fell to 29, showing strong fear among traders. 

The crash triggered massive liquidations worth more than $520 million in 24 hours. Around $379 million came from long positions alone, meaning traders betting on rising prices were wiped out.

However, Bitcoin options worth $3.56 billion are also expiring tomorrow. The put/call ratio of 1.09 shows many traders are positioning for more downside.

On-Chain Indicators Show Bears in ControlOn-chain data show rising pressure. Cryptoquant data shows that the Bitcoin Bull Score fell back to 0, showing extreme bearish sentiment. 

Meanwhile, realized losses are now at -18%, still far from the historical “buy zone” of -37%.

Interestingly, about $6 billion worth of short positions are at risk. If Bitcoin suddenly jumps to $100,000, these shorts will be liquidated, causing a “domino effect” that could send prices soaring.

Bitcoin Struggles Below $95K, Holds Key $90K SupportFurther analysis the bitcoin chart, Crypto trader Crypto Palace added more pressure to the discussion with a fresh chart breakdown.

According to him, Bitcoin once again failed to break through the tough $95,000 resistance, and right after the Fed’s rate-cut news, the market reacted with a sharp pullback.

BTC is now retesting the $90,000 zone, which has turned into a major short-term support. 

However, staying above this level keeps the bullish structure alive, but a daily close below it could open the way to deeper declines toward $87,000.

Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.

FAQsHow did the Federal Reserve cause the crypto market crash?

The Fed cut rates but warned no more cuts are likely soon. This drove investors away from risk assets, triggering sharp selling in Bitcoin.

Is the Bitcoin crash a sign of a new bear market starting?

Not yet. The drop reflects short-term panic, but the long-term trend stays intact unless Bitcoin breaks below the $87K support.

Are Bitcoin options expiring this week adding to volatility?

Yes. With $3.56B in options expiring and a high put/call ratio, price swings may increase as traders hedge positions.

As the cryptocurrency market eagerly awaits the sentencing of Terra’s co-founder Do Kwon, the price of Terra (LUNA) has experienced a significant upswing. On December 11, 2025, LUNA saw a price increase of 39%, trading at approximately $0.2076. This sudden rise underscores the volatile nature of digital currencies, where market sentiment can drastically influence price movements.

The increase in LUNA’s value is not solely attributed to the looming sentencing of Do Kwon. Recent updates to the Terra ecosystem have also played a pivotal role in this price rally. The Terra team has been actively working on technological enhancements and strategic alliances to reinforce the platform’s infrastructure and broaden its utility. These developments have generated optimism among investors, leading to heightened trading activity.

Founded by Do Kwon, Terra gained attention for its ambitious goal of creating a decentralized financial ecosystem. However, the platform faced challenges when Kwon became embroiled in legal issues. The upcoming sentencing, related to allegations of financial misconduct, has been a focal point for the market. Investors are speculating on the consequences of the verdict on Terra’s future and the broader cryptocurrency landscape.

Despite legal troubles, Terra continues to draw attention due to its unique blockchain technology that enables stablecoin creation and supports decentralized applications. The integration of smart contract capabilities has been a significant factor in maintaining investor interest, particularly as decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to expand within the crypto space. Terra’s approach to simplifying cross-border transactions and reducing volatility has appealed to a global audience, fueling its popularity.

In recent months, Terra’s developers have introduced several technical updates aimed at increasing the platform’s efficiency and scalability. These updates are crucial as the network seeks to accommodate growing user demand and transaction volume. The development team’s commitment to innovation is evident in their efforts to foster partnerships with other blockchain projects, potentially enhancing Terra’s ecosystem through collaborative ventures.

Historically, the cryptocurrency market has been prone to sharp fluctuations around significant events such as legal proceedings and regulatory changes. For instance, in 2017, Bitcoin’s price soared following news of increased regulatory acceptance in Japan, illustrating how external factors can drive market dynamics. Similarly, Terra’s current rally highlights how speculative interest and strategic developments can influence investor behavior.

However, this optimism is tempered by potential risks, particularly the uncertainty surrounding Do Kwon’s sentencing. The outcome could have significant implications for Terra’s regulatory standing and its ability to operate seamlessly across jurisdictions. Investors are wary that a harsh sentence might lead to increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies, which could impact Terra’s operations and its market perception.

Moreover, the broader cryptocurrency market faces challenges such as regulatory tightening and market saturation. In recent years, governments worldwide have intensified efforts to regulate digital currencies, aiming to curb illegal activities and protect consumers. These regulatory measures could have a profound effect on platforms like Terra, which operate in a rapidly evolving landscape.

LUNA’s recent price surge also highlights the speculative nature of crypto investments, where short-term gains can overshadow fundamental analyses. Investors are often drawn to the allure of quick profits, but this approach can lead to heightened volatility and increased risk exposure. As Terra navigates its current challenges, stakeholders must balance optimism with caution, considering both the opportunities and potential pitfalls in the crypto market.

In comparison to other cryptocurrencies, Terra’s recent performance stands out. While some tokens have struggled with maintaining upward momentum in a crowded market, LUNA’s ability to rally amid uncertainty demonstrates its resilience and strong community support. The network’s focus on innovation and usability continues to attract users seeking alternatives to traditional financial systems.

Looking ahead, Terra’s trajectory will likely hinge on its ability to adapt to regulatory developments and maintain investor confidence. As the market matures, transparency and compliance will become increasingly important for platforms seeking long-term success. Terra’s commitment to technological advancement and ecosystem growth positions it well to face future challenges, but it must also address the regulatory landscape proactively.

In conclusion, Terra’s recent price rally exemplifies the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market, where speculation and strategic updates can drive significant changes in value. While the impending sentencing of Do Kwon adds a layer of uncertainty, Terra’s ongoing efforts to enhance its platform and expand its global reach offer a promising outlook. Nevertheless, investors should remain vigilant, weighing the risks and opportunities in this ever-evolving financial frontier.

Coinbase dropped a major update at Solana Breakpoint that changes how traders access the ecosystem.

The exchange will now let users trade any Solana token directly inside the Coinbase app through a built-in DEX, without waiting for listings. Now there is straight, on-chain liquidity through the same interface people already trust.

A Better Way to Access New Solana TokensCoinbase Protocol Specialist Andrew explained the change:

“Millions of assets are launching on chain every day… this allows you to trade any token on Solana… the moment they become available on chain.”

Users can pay with USDC, a bank account, cash, or even a debit card – making Solana’s rapid-fire token market far easier to access.

For many traders, the biggest win is safety. Instead of racing to find early tokens through unfamiliar platforms, the Coinbase app now pulls liquidity straight from Solana DEXs. It’s the same experience, just with a much wider set of assets.

A Win for Developers TooThis update also changes the game for builders. Andrew noted that “if your token has sufficient liquidity,” it becomes instantly reachable by millions of Coinbase users with no centralized listing required.

It removes one of the biggest hurdles for new teams: visibility. If the token trades, people can find it.

Coinbase Doubles Down on SolanaThe company also confirmed deeper support is coming. Soon, Solana assets will appear natively in the app, sitting alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum instead of being treated as an add-on.

Breakpoint brought more momentum, with Ellipsis Labs launching Phoenix Perpetuals, a Solana-native perps DEX offering gasless trading and instant onboarding.

A Shift in How Exchanges OperateCoinbase is signaling a broader shift. Exchanges are moving from deciding what gets listed to giving users direct access to whatever the blockchain produces. And with Solana’s growth running hot, the timing fits.

Shiba Inu's circling around the removal of a zero is certainly exhausting, but that event is what really matters the most now.

Shiba Inu is once again circling around a well-known price range, and despite the muted tone of the overall market, the asset still has the ability to generate conjectures regarding a possible zero-removal rally. However, without a noticeable change in participation and trend, the current chart does not support blind optimism.

SHIB's recovery potentialThe 20-day EMA, 50-day EMA and particularly the 100-day EMA are all stacked overhead and sloping downward, and SHIB is currently trapped beneath a multilayered resistance structure. That is typical downtrend behavior, and every bounce is susceptible to fading out until SHIB can firmly break above at least the 50-day EMA.

SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewVolume reveals the same information. Overall participation has been declining for months despite sporadic spikes. In a situation where liquidity declines and market interest is low, you do not remove a zero. Zero-removal moves are momentum events that call for whale-coordinated accumulation, strong macro pushes or aggressive inflows. At the moment, none of those circumstances exist.

HOT Stories

Still, there is hope for the setup. The $0.0000080-$0.0000083 support range, which has consistently drawn buyers, is where SHIB is stabilizing. The market is not collapsing, it is just stalling, as indicated by the RSI’s midrange holding and lack of significant bearish momentum. If buyers eventually take over, this kind of slow coil may become a base.

Requirement for growthThe big "if" is that SHIB requires a catalyst. A breakout above the $0.0000093-$0.0000095 zone is unlikely without a spike in volume, and a zero-removal rally is still unrealistic if that level is not cleared. Once that cluster is broken, the path opens up toward $0.0000107 and beyond, which are levels where momentum has the potential to truly snowball.

In other words, it is technically feasible to remove a zero, but the market requires evidence. The asset could fall back toward the mid-$0.0000070s if SHIB is unable to break above resistance in the near future. Investors should keep an eye on whale flows, volume and breakout attempts because a true zero-removal run can only materialize when these factors line up.

Privacy coins have emerged as one of the dominant narratives shaping cryptocurrency investment trends this year. The two leading altcoins in this sector by volume and market capitalization are Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR).

Investor attention has focused heavily on ZEC. Meanwhile, XMR continues to show strong and steady growth.

XMR Outperforms ZEC in Many Aspects Despite Lacking the SpotlightIn terms of daily spot trading volume in December, ZEC performed exceptionally well.

According to CoinGecko, ZEC maintains a daily trading volume of nearly $1 billion. This level surpasses XMR and DASH, thanks to strong liquidity on major exchanges like Binance.

However, ZEC falls far behind in daily on-chain transactions. Data from BitInfoCharts shows XMR reaching an average of about 26,000 transactions per day. This figure is more than triple ZEC’s average of roughly 8,000 transactions per day.

On-chain activity carries longer-term significance than spot volume. It reflects real usage patterns and user acceptance of XMR for anonymous transfers rather than short-term trading sentiment.

Additionally, ZEC’s price fluctuates due to increased volatility resulting from speculative trading. XMR’s price movement remains more stable.

TradingView data shows that ZEC has fallen by more than 40% over the past month. Many analysts now suggest the possibility of a bubble pattern. Meanwhile, XMR declined by roughly 12%.

Comparing The Price Performance Between ZEC and XMR. Source: TradingViewFrom this perspective, ZEC suits traders who chase the privacy coin narrative and aim for quick profits during extreme FOMO cycles. The downside is deeper price drops and longer recovery periods.

Furthermore, the latest report from MEXC Research reinforces XMR’s position. Over longer timeframes, XMR demonstrates superior trading volume and user activity compared to ZEC and DASH.

“Despite ZEC and DASH posting record-high trading volumes, Monero remains an asset of choice among privacy coin traders, accounting for 93% of total trading volume in Q3–Q4 and 72% of users in this segment,” MEXC Research reported.

The report also notes that growing interest in privacy assets reflects users’ increasing need for anonymity as regulators strengthen capital controls.

Therefore, regardless of holding ZEC or XMR, investors can continue to benefit next year. Experts predict privacy coins will remain a dominant market narrative in 2026.

Bitcoin has rarely looked more fragile, and many analysts are already referring to this as the worst fourth quarter on record, marked by a massive leverage wipeout and a steep drop from its all-time highs.

For over a decade, Bitcoin [BTC] has followed a harsh, predictable pattern: a Halving event, a commendable rally to new highs, and then a brutal 75–90% crash that resets the entire market.

This cycle shaped the crypto world and created the “crypto winter” mentality that traders have come to expect.

Cathie Wood challenges the four-year cycle
But according to Cathie Wood, CEO and CIO of ARK Invest, those old rules no longer apply.

Speaking with Fox Business, Wood made a profound declaration: institutional adoption is actively “disrupting” the traditional Bitcoin cycle.

Wood noted that growing participation in U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs had started to change how BTC absorbed volatility. She pointed to a steady decline in its two-year volatility trend over the past five years, adding fuel to the idea of a maturing asset.

Why Bitcoin’s old pattern may be fading
Wood’s view challenges over a decade of beliefs built around Bitcoin’s strict, predictable four-year cycle.

The evidence for this cycle is compelling. 

For instance, the 2012 Halving saw Bitcoin surge from under $10 to a peak of roughly $1,100; the 2016 Halving fueled a climb from $400 to nearly $20,000; and the 2020 Halving propelled the asset from $8,500 to a record high of around $69,000.

Each of these explosive rallies was followed by a painful, defining drawdown of 70% to 85%, resetting the stage for the next run.

This predictable pattern, last triggered by the 20th April 2024, Halving, has historically been the sole script for investors.

Yet, this time, the narrative feels disjointed and disruptive.

What is Wood so concerned about?
Wood argued Bitcoin now trades more like a broader risk-on asset, increasingly moving with equities and real estate.

However, even amid this uncertainty, Wood finds encouraging notes, suggesting that,

“The volatility’s going down. We may have seen the low a couple of weeks ago.”

She added, 

 “We think that the move by institutions into this new asset class is going to prevent much more of a decline.”

Wood acknowledged that Bitcoin has historically played the risk-off role at critical junctures, citing its performance during the European sovereign debt crisis and the US regional banking turmoil of 2023.

However, she now contended that institutional capital has cemented its current identity as a risk-on barometer, moving largely in correlation with equities.

Bernstein and Sigel also weigh in on the Bitcoin 4-year cycle
This followed, the Global research and brokerage firm Bernstein also stated that the traditional crypto cycle is dead.

Echoing a similar sentiment, VanEck’s Matthew Sigel had also noted,

“We believe the Bitcoin cycle has broken the 4-year pattern and is now in an elongated bull-cycle with more sticky institutional buying offsetting any retail panic selling.”

Bitcoin recently traded near $90,256 after a sharp 2.46% drawdown over the past 24 hours, though ETF inflows remained strong. U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $223.5 million in net inflows on the 10th of December, according to Farside Investors.

Standard Chartered’s Bitcoin prediction
This structural pivot, however, carried consequences even for the bulls.

It is precisely why multinational banking giant Standard Chartered has significantly revised its price expectations.

Following Bitcoin’s recent struggles, Standard Chartered cut its 2025 projection in half, now targeting $100,000 by the close of 2025, down from $200,000.

The bank also delayed its long-term $500,000 forecast from 2028 to 2030.

This shift supports the idea that the era of fast, explosive rallies followed by 75% crashes may be ending.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin may no longer be governed by the predictable Halving cycle that shaped a decade of bull and bear markets.
Institutional adoption is now the dominant force, absorbing sell-offs and dampening the violent 70%–90% drawdowns that once defined crypto winters.

Michael Saylor, a prominent figure in bitcoin, reveals a silent revolution: the largest American banks now integrate bitcoin-backed loans. A massive adoption that could redefine traditional finance. What are the key figures, macroeconomic implications, and what is the future for bitcoin facing global monetary policies?

In Brief

The 8 largest American banks now offer loans secured by bitcoin, according to Michael Saylor.
Interest rates (4-6%) and LTV ratios (50-70%) are more advantageous than those of DeFi, marking a historic turning point for institutional bitcoin adoption.
The Fed’s rate cuts and upcoming rate hikes in Japan could enhance bitcoin’s appeal as a major financial asset.

Eight of the ten largest American banks now integrate bitcoin-backed loans
In a recent statement, Michael Saylor states that eight of the ten largest American banks, including Citibank, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo, now offer loans secured by bitcoin. Crypto loan volumes reached $150 billion annually in Q4 2025, with 40% of the market captured by traditional banks, versus 60% for DeFi protocols.

Furthermore, Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios range between 50% and 70%, with interest rates between 4% and 6%, well below DeFi alternatives. JPMorgan even launched a $10 billion credit facility secured by bitcoin in October 2025. Saylor highlights a rapid transition. According to him, banks went from total hostility towards bitcoin to massive adoption in less than a year. This trend reflects growing recognition of BTC as a legitimate financial asset, marking a historic turning point for crypto.

The Fed cuts rates again: a catalyst for bitcoin loan adoption?
On December 10, 2025, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) cut interest rates again, despite uncertain economic data. This decision could stimulate banks’ appetite for risky assets like bitcoin by lowering the cost of credit and encouraging financial innovation. Indeed, low rates favor investment in alternative assets, thus offering banks new growth opportunities.

However, some experts question: does this policy not create speculative bubbles? Banks, now more open to bitcoin through loans, could well become key players in its massive adoption. But this trend will also depend on global economic stability and future regulation.

BTC facing rate hikes in Japan: towards an inevitable victory?
As the Bank of Japan (BOJ) considers a rate hike this December, a first in years, BTC positions itself as a potential refuge against inflation. This monetary divergence between the US and Japan could strengthen bitcoin’s appeal, perceived as a hedge against economic risks.

Institutional investors, increasingly present in the bitcoin market, see this cryptocurrency as an essential asset, even in periods of monetary tightening. For analysts, bitcoin has become a pillar of the global financial system, capable of withstanding monetary tensions. If BTC emerges victorious from this divergence, it could confirm its status as a safe-haven asset, attracting more institutional capital and consolidating its place in banks.

Are traditional banks becoming the new dominant players in the crypto market? This massive bitcoin adoption by financial institutions marks a historic turning point according to Michael Saylor. However, it also raises questions about decentralization and systemic risks.

It's hard to find a more generous dividend in the market that you can count on a company to maintain.

Tobacco giant Altria Group (MO +0.88%) has done quite well in 2025. The stock is up by roughly 10% since January, or 16% if you include dividends. That hasn't been the norm in recent years: After various up and down periods, Altria is close to flat over the past decade, dramatically underperforming the broader market.

Slow growth in sales is primarily to blame. The Marlboro maker's customer base is steadily shrinking as fewer people smoke cigarettes over the years. Because of this, those who choose to own the tobacco stock likely picked it for its dividend. Altria is not only a Dividend King -- a company with at least 50 consecutive annual dividend increases -- but also yields a whopping 7.3% at its recent share price.

The sustainability of that dividend is likely on the minds of shareholders as we head into 2026.

Here is whether you can continue to count on Altria to deliver that dividend, as well as what the company's most pressing matter is next year.

Is Altria's dividend safe?
High dividend yields can often signal trouble. Companies set their payout amounts, but the yield is also a function of the share price. In other words, the stock market has a say in determining the yield. When it's very high, there's often an inauspicious reason.

In Altria's case, the company's core cigarette business is fading, so there's not much top-line growth. The stock price is discounted accordingly, but those lower share prices do compensate investors by providing a higher yield. In other words, investors buy the stock for the reliable dividend income, not with the expectation of strong share price appreciation.

Financially speaking, Altria is rock solid. The company regularly raises cigarette prices to offset its steadily shrinking sales volumes, a strategy that has allowed it to keep making small annual increases to its dividend. This playbook has been effective for decades, and analysts expect Altria to grow its earnings by 3% annually over the next three to five years.

The dividend payout ratio is 82% of 2025 earnings estimates, and Altria still holds a multibillion-dollar stake in Anheuser-Busch InBev that it could liquidate for cash if it needed to. No, Altria stock won't deliver much in the way of returns beyond its dividend, but you can continue to count on it.

The further you gaze into the future, the riskier an investment Altria becomes. The tobacco industry is evolving gradually away from cigarettes and toward smoke-free nicotine products like electronic vapes, heat-not-burn tobacco devices, and oral nicotine salt pouches.

The industry's other major players have made meaningful progress in incorporating these newer products into their businesses. In their most recent earnings reports, next-generation products comprised 41% of Philip Morris International's net sales and 18.2% of British American Tobacco's.

Altria, by contrast, still relies heavily on cigarettes and cigars, which accounted for more than 88% of its net revenue in the third quarter. The company is working to grow its smoke-free offerings, but it risks losing market share over time if it doesn't start making up some ground.

So shareholders should go ahead and enjoy those dividends in 2026. However, long-term investors will want to closely monitor the progress of Altria's ongoing transition in focus away from its core cigarette business.

Large holdings in stocks like Nvidia and Alphabet continue to propel this ETF to market-beating returns.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.67%) index is made up of 500 companies from 11 different sectors of the economy. Information technology is the largest sector, because it's home to three of the world's most valuable companies: Nvidia (NVDA 0.65%), Microsoft, and Apple, which have become artificial intelligence (AI) juggernauts in their own unique ways.

The S&P 500 has delivered a total return of 17.8% this year, but had you invested in the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG +0.38%) instead, you would be sitting on a return of 22.7%. This exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Growth index, which exclusively holds 216 of the best-performing growth stocks from the regular S&P 500.

The outperformance of the Vanguard ETF in 2025 isn't a one-off, because it has actually beaten the S&P 500 every year, on average, since it was established. Here's why I predict 2026 will be another strong year.

A unique portfolio composition
The S&P 500 Growth index selects stocks based on factors like their momentum and the sales growth of the underlying companies. It rebalances once per quarter, removing stocks that no longer meet its criteria and replacing them with better candidates.

Compared to the S&P 500, the Growth index holds much larger positions in the tech giants that consistently push the broader market higher. For example, the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF assigns a whopping 15.2% weighting to Nvidia, and a 9.1% weighting to Alphabet (GOOG +1.02%)(GOOGL +0.99%), whereas those two stocks represent just 8.4% and 5.1% in the S&P 500, respectively.

Those two stocks have delivered blistering returns this year, so it's no surprise an ETF or index that assigns them higher weightings would outperform one that assigns them lesser weightings:

Data by YCharts.

In fact, almost 50% of the entire value of the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF is parked in two high-growth sectors: Information technology and communication services, which are home to many of the tech giants leading the AI revolution.

But some of the magic is in what the Growth index (and Vanguard ETF) doesn't own, like the following S&P 500 stocks: Charter Communications, which is down 41% this year, LyondellBasell, also down 41%, Dow Inc, down 42%, Molina Healthcare, down 47%, and Alexandra Real Estate Equities, down 53%.

Therefore, not only does the Growth index invest aggressively in top-performing stocks, but it also dodges many of the market's biggest underperformers, which is a big reason for its strong returns relative to the S&P 500.

The Vanguard ETF could beat the S&P 500 again in 2026
The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF has produced a compound annual return of 16.8% since its inception in 2010, beating the average annual return of 13.8% in the S&P 500 over the same period.

AI stocks have driven the Vanguard ETF higher over the last couple of years, but other technologies like cloud computing and enterprise software have also contributed to its strong gains since it was established. Even if the AI boom starts to slow, the Growth index's quarterly rebalance will ensure the ETF always has exposure to the themes that take over to fuel broader market returns instead.

Looking to the future, industries like autonomous vehicle manufacturing, robotics, and quantum computing could become major sources of growth for the stock market.

The S&P 500 also rebalances on a quarterly basis, but performance isn't part of its criteria for selecting stocks. Instead, it focuses on companies with robust profitability, and it has a minimum market capitalization requirement of $22.7 billion to ensure it only holds large companies. These metrics help reduce extreme volatility.

On that note, the Vanguard ETF does have a tendency to suffer sharper corrections during market sell-offs. It plunged by as much as 22% earlier this year after President Donald Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs, whereas the S&P 500 experienced a lesser decline of 19%. Therefore, this ETF is best suited for investors who are comfortable with volatility.

With all of that said, I think the Vanguard ETF's track record and its high degree of exposure to the best-performing stocks in the market point to another S&P 500-beating return again in 2026.
