TORONTO, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHAR Technologies Ltd. (“CHAR Tech” or the “Company”) (TSXV:YES), a leader in sustainable energy solutions, is pleased to announce the delivery of the first of two commercial High Temperature Pyrolysis (“HTP”) kilns to the Thorold Renewable Energy Facility, with installation now kicked-off. Additionally, the feedstock handling line conveyors are being installed this week. These milestones mark key critical path items to complete the construction of Phase 1, keeping the project on track for commissioning of commercial biocarbon production in January 2026.

Phase 1 of the Thorold facility will convert up to 35,000 tonnes of wood waste per year into more than 5,000 tonnes per year of biocarbon, the bulk of which is anticipated to be used locally by ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Canada’s largest flat roll steel producer, under the previously announced 2023 offtake agreement to reduce fossil carbon in the steelmaking process.

Following completion of Phase 1, the Company will proceed with Phase 2 construction, which includes installing a second HTP kiln to double production capacity, adding methanation equipment to upgrade synthetic gas into Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”), and constructing the onsite natural gas pipeline injection point. The Thorold Renewable Energy Facility is projected to be completed and reach full scale commercial production capacity in 2026.

“Getting the kiln on site and into installation is a big moment for Thorold,” said Andrew White, CEO of CHAR Tech. “The team and our partners at BMI have kept the build advancing at a strong pace, and now we’re into the final stretch of Phase 1. With installation underway, we’re lined up to flip the switch on initial commercial operations in January.”

About CHAR Tech

Nvidia scores DC lobbying victory with CEO Jensen Huang meeting with Trump. (0:15) Snowflake shares hit as guidance disappoints. (1:20) Insta and Facebook start deactivating Aussie accounts. (2:37)

The following is an abridged transcript:

Nvidia (NVDA) is on the verge of securing a major lobbying victory in Washington, with CEO Jensen Huang personally making the case on Capitol Hill.

Bloomberg reports that lawmakers left out a measure from must-pass defense legislation that would have limited Nvidia’s ability to sell advanced AI chips to China and other adversary nations.

The proposal, known as the GAIN AI Act, would require chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD (AMD) to prioritize U.S. customers for advanced AI chips over buyers in embargoed countries.

Lawmakers had sought to attach the measure to the annual defense policy bill, which is set to be released today, but a source told Bloomberg it did not make it into the bill

At the same time, President Donald Trump praised Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was in Washington Wednesday. Trump called him a “smart man,” crediting him with doing an “amazing job” at the company.

Huang returned the praise, saying Trump “stuck his neck out” by making energy a priority for economic growth.

On “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Huang said the recent boom in U.S. AI would not have been possible without Trump’s push for energy production.

“Without energy growth, we can have no industrial growth… and that saved the AI industry,” he said.

Snowflake (SNOW) shares are tumbling premarket as investors focused on soft fourth-quarter guidance, overshadowing an otherwise solid headline beat.

The data cloud company reported 29% year-over-year revenue growth to $1.21 billion, above expectations, with adjusted EPS of $0.35 also topping consensus. Margins and free cash flow improved, and key metrics like remaining performance obligations and net retention remained strong.

But outlook disappointed.

Snowflake guided Q4 product revenue to $1.195B to $1.2B, only fractionally above estimates, and below what investors had hoped for given the market’s pivot to AI-driven growth.

For the full fiscal year, product revenue guidance was increased slightly to $4.45B from $4.4B, just ahead of consensus — reinforcing concerns that growth is stabilizing rather than accelerating.

Snowflake is seeing the same post-earnings reaction as many AI trade names — where “good” isn’t good enough when traders are pricing in “great.” SNOW trades at 220x forward earnings, earning an F for Valuation from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating.

Still, Snowflake is leaning hard into AI.

The company announced expanded partnerships with Anthropic (ANTHRO), Accenture (ACN), and Amazon Web Services (AMZN) — including a multi-year, $200M deal with Anthropic to bring Claude models to Snowflake.

And Meta’s (META) Facebook and Instagram have started deactivating accounts of users under 16 in Australia, a week before the country’s unprecedented teen social media ban takes effect.

The platforms are also blocking new account creation for under-16 users. Roughly 150,000 Facebook accounts and 350,000 Instagram accounts are expected to be impacted.

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, initially questioned the “blunt-force” approach, noting years of incremental regulation.

But she said at the Sydney Dialogue summit: “I think we’ve reached a tipping point, where something more forceful needed to be done.”

Grant described Australia’s move as “the first domino,” which she said explains why social media companies pushed back. Malaysia is planning a similar ban next year.

Other platforms that must comply include Snapchat (SNAP), TikTok, Twitch, X, YouTube (GOOG)(GOOGL), Kick, and Reddit (RDDT). Non-compliance could lead to fines of up to US $33 million.

Now Here’s What’s Trending on Seeking Alpha:

Paramount Skydance ups its breakup fee to $5 billion in its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery.

Palantir is teaming up with Nvidia, CenterPoint Energy to speed AI infrastructure buildout.

Trump aides discuss tapping Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to also lead the National Economic Council.

Catalyst Watch:

IMAX Corporation (IMAX) is holding its investor day to detail its long-term growth plan across its global content portfolio, system network and technology platform. In premarket trading, stock index futures (SPX) (US100:IND) (INDU) are little changed, while Treasury yields are moving higher.

Launched on 01/22/2014, the Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETF (VUSE - Free Report) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Value category of the market.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?The ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on market capitalization weighted indexes that are designed to represent the market or a particular segment of the market.

Because market cap weighted indexes provide a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, they work well for investors who believe in market efficiency.

However, some investors believe in the possibility of beating the market through exceptional stock selection, and choose a different type of fund that tracks non-cap weighted strategies: smart beta.

Based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a combination of such, these indexes attempt to pick stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance.

While this space offers a number of choices to investors, including simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies, not all these strategies have been able to deliver superior results.

Fund Sponsor & IndexVUSE is managed by Vident Financial, and this fund has amassed over $647.43 million, which makes it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - All Cap Value. Before fees and expenses, VUSE seeks to match the performance of the Vident Core U.S. Equity Fund Index.

The Vident U.S. Quality Index is a rules-based, systematic strategy index comprised of equity securities principally traded in the U.S. market of issuers domiciled in the United States.

Cost & Other ExpensesExpense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long-term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins, other things remaining the same.

Annual operating expenses for VUSE are 0.50%, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.

It's 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 0.78%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsWhile ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

For VUSE, it has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector --about 29.1% of the portfolio --while Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.

Taking into account individual holdings, Broadcom Inc (AVGO) accounts for about 2.86% of the fund's total assets, followed by Eli Lilly & Co (LLY) and Alphabet Inc (GOOGL).

VUSE's top 10 holdings account for about 24.2% of its total assets under management.

Performance and RiskThe ETF has added roughly 13.41% and it's up approximately 8.09% so far this year and in the past one year (as of 12/04/2025), respectively. VUSE has traded between $50.72 and $67.51 during this last 52-week period.

VUSE has a beta of 0.95 and standard deviation of 15.04% for the trailing three-year period, which makes the fund a medium risk choice in the space. With about 124 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .

AlternativesVident U.S. Equity Strategy ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - All Cap Value segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.

Fidelity High Dividend ETF (FDVV) tracks Fidelity Core Dividend Index and the iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF (IUSV) tracks S&P 900 Value Index. Fidelity High Dividend ETF has $7.68 billion in assets, iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF has $24.05 billion. FDVV has an expense ratio of 0.16% and IUSV changes 0.04%.

Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - All Cap Value

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Small Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the Vanguard Russell 2000 Value ETF (VTWV - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on September 22, 2010.

The fund is sponsored by Vanguard. It has amassed assets over $873.77 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Small Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

Why Small Cap ValueThere's a lot of potential to investing in small cap companies, but with market capitalization below $2 billion, that high potential comes with even higher risk.

Carrying lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, value stocks also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. When you look at long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets. But in strong bull markets, growth stocks are more likely to be winners.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.1%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.75%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector -- about 25.7% of the portfolio. Industrials and Real Estate round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Oklo Inc (OKLO) accounts for about 0.81% of total assets, followed by Echostar Corp (SATS) and Slbbh1142

Performance and RiskVTWV seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000 Value Index before fees and expenses. The Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The ETF has added about 13.41% so far this year and is up about 4.55% in the last one year (as of 12/04/2025). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $116.09 and $161.99.

The ETF has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 21.26% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 1450 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesVanguard Russell 2000 Value ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, VTWV is an outstanding option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.

The iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF (IWN) and the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (VBR) track a similar index. While iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF has $11.96 billion in assets, Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF has $31.98 billion. IWN has an expense ratio of 0.24% and VBR charges 0.07%.

Bottom-LineWhile an excellent vehicle for long term investors, passively managed ETFs are a popular choice among institutional and retail investors due to their low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency.

If you're interested in broad exposure to the Materials - Broad segment of the equity market, look no further than the Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF (FMAT - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on October 21, 2013.

An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Sector ETFs also provide investors access to a broad group of companies in particular sectors that offer low risk and diversified exposure. Materials - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 7, placing it in top 44%.

Index DetailsThe fund is sponsored by Fidelity. It has amassed assets over $437.22 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Materials - Broad segment of the equity market. FMAT seeks to match the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Materials Index before fees and expenses.

The MSCI USA IMI Materials 25/50 Index represents the performance of the materials sector in the U.S. equity market.

CostsCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.08%, making it the least expensive product in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.66%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsIt is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.Looking at individual holdings, Linde Plc Common Stock (LIN) accounts for about 15.4% of total assets, followed by Newmont Corp Common Stock Usd1.6 (NEM) and Sherwin Williams Co/the Common Stock Usd1.0 (SHW).

The top 10 holdings account for about 58.68% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskSo far this year, FMAT has added about 9.19%, and is down about 2.59% in the last one year (as of 12/04/2025). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $42.02 and $53.78.

The ETF has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 17.36% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 102 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesFidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF sports a Zacks ETF Rank of 4 (Sell), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. FMAT, then, is not the best option for investors seeking exposure to the Materials ETFs segment of the market. Instead, there are better ETFs in the space to consider.

Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLB) tracks Materials Select Sector Index and the FlexShares Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources ETF (GUNR) tracks Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index.

The Invesco Dividend Achievers ETF (PFM - Free Report) was launched on September 15, 2005, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $748.44 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

Why Large Cap ValueLarge cap companies usually have a market capitalization above $10 billion. They tend to be stable companies with predictable cash flows and are usually less volatile than mid and small cap companies.

Value stocks are known for their lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, but investors should also note their lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. Looking at their long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in almost all markets. They are however likely to underperform growth stocks in strong bull markets.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.52%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.39%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsEven though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector -- about 24.3% of the portfolio. Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Broadcom Inc (AVGO) accounts for about 4.65% of total assets, followed by Apple Inc (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT).

The top 10 holdings account for about 32.17% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskPFM seeks to match the performance of the NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index before fees and expenses. The NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index is designed to identify a diversified group of dividend-paying companies which have increased their annual dividend for 10 or more consecutive fiscal years.

The ETF has gained about 14.35% so far this year and is up roughly 9.86% in the last one year (as of 12/04/2025). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $41.05 and $52.05.

The ETF has a beta of 0.81 and standard deviation of 12.16% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 432 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesInvesco Dividend Achievers ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors.

If you're interested in broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market, look no further than the John Hancock Multifactor Mid Cap ETF (JHMM - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on September 28, 2015.

The fund is sponsored by John Hancock. It has amassed assets over $4.55 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

Why Mid Cap BlendCompared to large and small cap companies, mid cap businesses tend to have higher growth prospects and are less volatile, respectively, with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.

Typically holding a combination of both growth and value stocks, blend ETFs also demonstrate qualities seen in value and growth investments.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.41%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.98%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsIt is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Blend category of the market, the Fidelity Quality Factor ETF (FQAL - Free Report) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 09/12/2016.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?Market cap weighted indexes were created to reflect the market, or a specific segment of the market, and the ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on this strategy.

Investors who believe in market efficiency should consider market cap indexes, as they replicate market returns in a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way.

But, there are some investors who would rather invest in smart beta funds; these funds track non-cap weighted strategies, and are a strong option for those who prefer choosing great stocks in order to beat the market.

These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.

Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns.

Fund Sponsor & IndexBecause the fund has amassed over $1.15 billion, this makes it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Blend. FQAL is managed by Fidelity. FQAL, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the Fidelity U.S. Quality Factor Index.

The Fidelity U.S. Quality Factor Index reflects the performance of stocks of large and mid-capitalization U.S. companies with a higher quality profile than the broader market.

Cost & Other ExpensesCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.16%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.

The fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.14%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsEven though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund's holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector - about 35.1% of the portfolio. Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.

Taking into account individual holdings, Nvidia Corp (NVDA) accounts for about 8.18% of the fund's total assets, followed by Apple Inc (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT).

FQAL's top 10 holdings account for about 39.46% of its total assets under management.

Performance and RiskSo far this year, FQAL has added roughly 16.84%, and was up about 12.41% in the last one year (as of 12/04/2025). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $57.29 and $76.03.

The ETF has a beta of 0.97 and standard deviation of 14.26% for the trailing three-year period. With about 130 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .

AlternativesFidelity Quality Factor ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Blend segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.

iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) tracks S&P 500 Index and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) tracks S&P 500 Index. iShares Core S&P 500 ETF has $733.71 billion in assets, Vanguard S&P 500 ETF has $803.25 billion. IVV has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VOO changes 0.03%.

Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Blend

It's harder to fly blind when you're already afraid of being in an uncontrolled tailspin.

If you're driving at night and your headlights suddenly dim, it's usually smart to slow down until you can see again, and that's roughly one of the dynamics affecting crypto right now. After a long U.S. government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) scrapped the normal October jobs report and also opted to cancel reporting the October Consumer Price Index (CPI), saying it could not legally run the surveys during the shutdown and cannot rebuild them afterward. The October unemployment rate and inflation data will never appear as official numbers, and only pieces of the payroll data will be folded into November's release.

At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC +0.20%) has fallen sharply, and the broader crypto market has lost about $1 trillion in value during the past six weeks, with Ethereum (ETH +4.12%) and Solana (SOL +1.43%) slipping significantly as well. The missing data is not single-handedly causing that drop, but it is making an already pessimistic mood among crypto investors into something substantially worse. So here's how that process works in practice, and what long-term investors can do about it.

Skipping a jobs report looks really bad in the middle of a sell-off
Markets were already in a bit of a tense spot before the shutdown.

The Trump administration's ill-advised and chaotically implemented tariff policies were in a perpetual state of flux, and as a result, investors were arguing about whether growth was slowing, whether inflation might reaccelerate, and how long the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates high. Withholding a month of core data in that unstable moment creates exactly the kind of fog that keeps investors up at night, because it forces the Fed and big financial institutions to lean more on their models and less-preferred (but still available) economic indicators instead of the official statistics they normally use, increasing the uncertainty about the direction of their future actions and casting at least a little doubt on the correctness of those actions as well.

The BLS has said that the data gap is mainly a technical byproduct of the legal limits it faces on surveying the economy during the government shutdown, and not a deliberate attempt to bury terrible numbers. These claims are difficult to believe, but also hard to disprove.

The bigger point here is that perception drives behavior. In an environment where many were already worried that growth is slowing and asset prices look stretched, both within crypto and in the stock market, a permanent blank spot in the data set naturally makes risk-averse investors a lot more skittish, and with good reason. Planning around that skittishness is now something that keen investors are obliged to do, even if their own interpretation of why the data wasn't released is different.

What's in the line of fire, and what to do about it
Another important piece of the story is who owns the big coins now.

A decade ago, Bitcoin mostly sat in the hands of retail investors and crypto natives. Today, it is deeply embedded in traditional finance, with U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding a significant portion of the coin's market value. Ethereum and Solana are on a similar path.

Once ETF issuers, hedge funds, and other institutional holders dominate the marginal money flows into these coins, they trade more like macro-sensitive growth assets than like their previous identities as the isolated financial experiments of yesteryear. If the economic narrative looks weaker and the data are fuzzier, the simple portfolio move for big players is to trim positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana before things get any uglier. The current decline in the crypto sector is that instinct playing out in real time.

So what should an individual investor do with this?

Start by separating the headlines from the long-term investment theses for these coins, as they're not affected at all by some missing jobs data. Put differently, even if financial institutions are selling, it doesn't mean that you have to copy their move, as their needs, objectives, capabilities, and tolerances are extremely different from your own. But, you should probably be very cautious about buying any smaller altcoins right now because they are even riskier than usual.

Other than that, be cautious about reading too much into what the government is not publishing.

It is tempting to assume that if the numbers were good, they would be trumpeted. That's likely true, but it's also very possible that October's set of economic data were merely mediocre rather than being truly ghastly like many seem to believe.

Bitget has spent the past year positioning itself at the intersection of retail-friendly UX and advanced trading tools.

Its newest addition, GetAgent, aims to collapse the gap between analysis and execution by giving traders a single conversational interface that can interpret natural-language requests, generate market insights, and place trades directly inside the app.

In the review, the feature is presented not as another gimmicky chatbot, but as a functional assistant that helps reduce friction in day-to-day trading. Below is a concise recap of how GetAgent works in practice, paired with a step-by-step walkthrough anyone can follow.

A Seamless Entry Point Into Trading
Accessing GetAgent inside the Bitget app is intentionally simple. The assistant is available from several locations: the home screen’s More Services menu, the Assets dashboard, and directly through individual token pages. In certain markets, Bitget automatically displays a banner such as “GetAgent is analyzing” a cue that contextual insights are already being prepared for that specific asset.

Once opened, traders are greeted with a minimalist chat interface. Suggested prompts appear at the bottom, but the assistant works best through natural instructions.

Example from video: We gave the following command: “I want to buy ZEC, but I want to purchase it cheaper. What’s a good entry point?”

After a few seconds of generating a response, GetAgent provides a complete analysis, stating the current trading price, potential support levels, and resistance levels. It generates a short-term analysis, which issues a bearish signal. It then specifies the entry strategy, suggesting an entry point between $220 and $225.

It then went on to suggest that the user should allocate only 20% to 30% of their capital, rather than investing it all at once. It also provided the user with suggested stop-loss levels. Crucially, it always offered multiple options for both the stop-loss and the take-profit targets, categorizing them as very conservative, moderate, or high-risk placements. For the take-profit targets, it gave multiple options depending on how bullish the user might feel about the setup.

The goal is clear: eliminate the need to jump between charts, order forms, external tools, and on-chain dashboards.

The Assistant’s Responses: Fast, Structured, and Actionable
GetAgent’s output depends on the request. When asked for market insights, it produces a structured breakdown: a short-term outlook, technical indicators, relevant price levels, and sentiment cues that help traders quickly orient themselves without opening a full suite of charts.

When the user requests an actual trade, the assistant generates a preview card. This includes the token, estimated execution price, order type, and the exact amount, allowing traders to confirm with a single tap. If the action involves a Web3 token, an additional on-chain confirmation step appears.

Example from video: 

This segment illustrates the direct, hands-on trading capabilities facilitated by the agent. We initiated a specific market action by issuing the command: “Place order for ZEC/USDT at 225$ for 25$.”

This was a clear, concise instruction executed within the volatile environment of futures trading, requiring precise management of risk and leverage. Crucially, before executing the command, we had ensured the required margin was available by manually transferring the funds into our futures account. The system processed the request immediately, and the buy order was subsequently filled at the specified price point, confirming the agent’s reliability in order placement.

The process then shifted to strategy, determining the optimal exit. We promptly consulted GetAgent for guidance on the ideal selling price, debating between a quick exit at the entry price of $225 or a more ambitious target of $230. Based on our analysis and the agent’s input, we ultimately decided on the $230 target. Upon the successful execution of the sell order at this higher price, we were pleasantly surprised by the rapid and favorable outcome: the chosen strategy proved successful, resulting in a 2.25% profit on the trade and validating the efficiency of using GetAgent for both execution and tactical decision-making.

Executing a Spot Trade Through GetAgent
The video demonstrates how frictionless spot trading becomes with the AI assistant. A typical flow looks like this:

Open GetAgent from the home screen or token page.
Enter a command such as: “Buy ZEC/USDT at 225$ for 25$.”
Review the order card generated by the assistant.
Confirm the trade.
Verify execution inside the Order History tab.

The strength of this system lies in its consistency. Whether trading ZEC, ADA, or BTC, the process remains identical, reducing cognitive load and minimizing errors caused by busy mobile interfaces.

Portfolio Analysis Feature

One of the most powerful and time-saving features offered by GetAgent is its comprehensive portfolio analysis and reporting capability, which is activated via an extremely simple and intuitive command. This functionality allows users to bypass manual tracking and immediately gain deep insights into their investments. 

Examples from video:

We initiated this process by issuing the command: “Generate a personalized daily report based on my portfolio.” 

The agent processes the request rapidly, providing the output within mere seconds. This generated report offers full transparency into our asset structure, detailing our total held assets, precise purchase and sale timestamps for each cryptocurrency, and a statistical breakdown of our overall trading performance over the specified period. Furthermore, the daily report extends beyond personal holdings, giving us a crucial market overview, including a list of the day’s biggest gainers and losers and, most importantly, provides a thorough, automated technical analysis for our specific cryptocurrency of interest, which in this documented case was ZEC. This level of automated detail enables rapid, data-driven decision-making without the necessity of external research.

Moving beyond trade execution, we further engaged GetAgent to get its strategic assessment of our overall portfolio composition. Specifically, we asked the agent for its opinion on whether holding fiat currencies introduced an unacceptable level of risk. The agent analyzed the topic in great detail, providing a comprehensive breakdown of the associated factors. Its ultimate conclusion was that while holding fiat currency is not inherently risky from a security standpoint, it clearly stated that our funds are not protected from inflation. This highlighted the critical distinction between currency security and the erosion of purchasing power over time.

On-Chain Trades With a Single Prompt
For traders interacting with Web3 tokens, GetAgent streamlines on-chain purchases in the same conversational manner.

A simple request such as “Buy 200 USDT of ZEC on-chain” prompts the assistant to prepare a transaction preview. Here, traders will see the network, gas fee estimate, and token details, followed by a signing confirmation. The flow mirrors a typical Web3 wallet experience but removes several manual steps.

The design philosophy is consistent, with advanced features simplified through natural language.

Strategy Automation: Bot Creation on Command
One of the more advanced demonstrations in the video involves creating a trading bot directly from chat. Instead of navigating multiple setup pages, traders can describe the strategy they want:

target price range,
capital allocation,
risk tolerance,
take-profit and stop-loss logic.

GetAgent converts the request into a ready-to-deploy bot template. After reviewing parameters, users can activate the bot and track its performance in the dedicated dashboard.

For traders with intermediate knowledge, this feature effectively compresses the bot-creation learning curve.

Beyond its conversational features, GetAgent now includes a suite of AI-driven trading strategies that operate in real time, giving users a transparent view of how different trading philosophies behave under actual market conditions. Inside the Model Arena, Bitget showcases several specialized AI trading avatars—each representing a distinct style such as hedging, major-coin momentum, altcoin breakouts, or mechanical grid-based execution. These agents run live accounts and display ongoing performance curves, entries, exits, and drawdowns as they happen. For traders, this creates a rare opportunity to observe, study, and compare real-time AI strategies side by side, offering practical insights into how various models respond to volatility, trend shifts, and market structure. Whether users prefer conservative setups or high-beta plays, the transparent data helps them select approaches that align with their personal risk profile and trading style.

Trading With Oversight: Built-In Safety Checks
Although GetAgent speeds up execution, the assistant consistently nudges users to review details before confirming. This includes:

token and contract verification,
order sizing and slippage,
risk parameters for bots,
gas fees for on-chain actions.

Every trade, bot deployment, or portfolio change remains logged in the user’s Order or Activity history. The assistant’s role is to accelerate decision-making, not bypass standard security practices.

A More Natural Way to Trade
From a user-experience standpoint, GetAgent is Bitget’s attempt to bridge retail simplicity with professional-grade tools. Instead of opening multiple UI panels, the user interacts through a single conversational interface, something that feels increasingly intuitive as AI products become more integrated into trading platforms.

For beginners, it removes complexity. For experienced traders, it reduces friction. And for Bitget, it represents a move toward a more unified trading ecosystem, one where analysis, execution, on-chain interaction, and strategy automation can all be triggered in a single line of text.

Final Thoughts
Bitget’s GetAgent won’t replace critical thinking or risk management, but it does reshape how traders interact with an exchange. If the goal is to trade faster, obtain instant market context, or test automated strategies with minimal setup, the assistant offers a meaningful upgrade from traditional mobile trading flows.

As exchanges race toward AI-enhanced interfaces, Bitget has delivered one of the more functional, ready-to-use implementations on the market, one that genuinely reduces friction and feels immediately beneficial for everyday traders.

Solana Mobile has officially announced plans to launch its highly anticipated SKR token in January 2026. The native token powering the Solana Seeker mobile ecosystem sparked massive buzz in the crypto community, triggering SOL price to soar more than 4%.

Solana Mobile Gears Up to Launch SKR Token in January 2026
Solana Mobile in a blog unveiled new details about the forthcoming SKR native token for the Seeker smartphone ecosystem. The initiative aims to further enhance the Solana ecosystem, primarily in mobile applications and decentralized finance (DeFi).

The token will power the growth and coordination mechanism, including staking to Guardians, supporting builders, securing devices, and curating the dApp Store. The team confirmed that SKR value will gradually flow back to the community as the ecosystem scales.

“We’re thrilled to announce the SKR token launch in January 2026,” said a spokesperson for Solana Mobile. It announced Anza, DoubleZero, Triton, Helius, and Jito platforms to join Solana Mobile as Guardians next year.

Solana Mobile Reveals SKR Tokenomics
As per the tokenomics details shared Solana Mobile, SKR token will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens. The allocation uses linear inflation to incentivize early participants who stake to secure the ecosystem and bootstrap platform growth.

The first year will have a 10% inflation, with a reducing rate of 25% every year. The terminal rate will stabilize at 2% approximately after 6 years.

The team plans to allocate 30% or 3 billion tokens via airdrops likely to Seeker owners, dApp users, builders, and other Solana holders. The 25% are set for Growth and Partnerships and 10% for Liquidity and Launch.

Another 10% is allocated to the Solana community treasury, with 15% to Solana Mobile. The remaining 10% SKR token will go to Solana Labs.

SOL Price Sees Upside Momentum
SOL price jumped 4% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $143.51. The 24-hour low and high are $139.37 and $146.72, respectively. Trading volume has decreased by 26% in the last 24 hours.

However, spot Solana ETFs recorded their third net outflow of $32.19 million, according to SoSoValue data on December 4. Also, it was the largest-ever outflow to date, raising speculation within the community.

The outflow primarily happened due to a $41.79 million redemption from the 21Shares Solana ETF (TSOL). Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), Grayscale Solana ETF (GSOL), and others continue their inflow streak.

CoinGlass data showed mixed sentiment in the derivatives market. At the time of writing, the 24-hour total SOL futures open interest is up more than 1% to $7.47 billion. The 4-hour SOL futures OI on CME dropped by 1.40% and climbed 1.42% on Binance.

This move brings Solana exposure to mainstream investors in a regulated and transparent form.
$SOEZ represents a practical way to participate in the growth of a blockchain network. This network is increasingly seen as a core layer of the digital economy.

Solana’s Growing Role in Digital Finance
Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at FTI Global, emphasised that Solana’s speed and efficiency make it ideal for a wide range of blockchain applications. These include tokenised assets, decentralised finance, and next-generation financial platforms. Solana’s high throughput and low transaction costs allow developers to build scalable solutions without the delays or fees seen on older networks. A recent example is the growth of Solana-based stablecoins, which are seeing increasing adoption for cross-border payments and digital asset trading. Industry reports show that over $20 billion in assets now move across Solana networks monthly, highlighting the platform’s traction among both developers and institutions.

BREAKING: Franklin Templeton debuted $SOEZ on @NYSE, a new Solana ETF 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WWgW69kmfl

— Solana (@solana) December 3, 2025

$SOEZ gives investors a simple entry point into this ecosystem. Rather than holding individual Solana tokens, which requires digital wallets and private key management, an ETF allows participation through traditional brokerage accounts. This regulated structure offers transparency, security, and oversight. It can appeal to cautious investors seeking exposure to crypto markets while avoiding the complexities of self-custody.

This one was so easy.

Franklin Solana ETF – $SOEZ is now live, making exposure to $SOL almost too easy? pic.twitter.com/bBA0YfB2LG

— Franklin Templeton Digital Assets (@FTDA_US) December 3, 2025

ETFs focused on blockchain networks are part of a broader trend of institutional adoption in digital assets. They allow both retail and professional investors to track network growth without dealing directly with crypto exchanges. Solana’s rapid adoption and developer momentum make $SOEZ especially compelling.

More About Solana ETFs
Solana ETFs saw $32.9 million in outflows yesterday, bringing the cumulative inflows to $615 million. Despite this temporary pullback, the overall trend for the sector remains strong. BitwiseInvest, in particular, continues to record consistent positive inflows, signalling sustained investor confidence in its Solana exposure.

Analysts called the Chainlink ETF’s debut a “solid” launch, but the development has yet to attract enough liquidity to reverse the LINK token’s 39% decline over the past year.

Grayscale’s launch of the first US spot Chainlink exchange-traded fund (ETF) drew strong interest on its first day of trading, suggesting investors still have an appetite for regulated altcoin products despite a broader crypto market slump.

Grayscale’s Chainlink (LINK) ETF debuted with $41 million in cumulative net inflows and $13 million worth of “solid” trading volume during the first day, said Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, in a Wednesday X post. “$41m in first day flows. Another insta-hit from the crypto world, only dud so far was Doge, but it’s still early.”

The debut adds to signs that institutional and professional investors are waiting on the sidelines for more regulated ways to gain exposure to altcoins that can be integrated into corporate or fund strategies.

The spot XRP (XRP) ETF continues to lead altcoin ETF debuts this year, with $243 million in first-day inflows, according to SosoValue.

In finance, long-tail assets refer to less popular and less liquid assets, associated with higher risk and reward profiles.

Magazine: Solana vs Ethereum ETFs, Facebook’s influence on Bitwise — Hunter Horsley

Dogecoin is trading at its lowest price in a year, but could a year-end rally be in store?

While the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.30%) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.17%) have each posted double-digit gains so far this year, cryptocurrency seems to have lost its momentum. As of this writing (Dec. 2), prices across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP have underperformed the broader stock market in 2025.

Adding to the list of crypto laggards is Dogecoin (DOGE +0.17%), whose price has plummeted by 54% this year. At just $0.15 per token, Dogecoin is now trading at its lowest price in a year.

But as 2026 draws close, could Dogecoin become a darling of a Santa Claus rally and ride the wave to a $1 price point?

Let's dig into how Dogecoin works and what makes it different from other popular cryptocurrencies. From there, I'll explore what it would take for the meme coin to reach $1 and whether such a price target is realistic.

Image source: Getty Images.

What is Dogecoin and how does it work?
Dogecoin was created by a pair of software engineers from IBM and Adobe named Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. The coin's origins are rooted in satire -- poking fun at the rise of digital assets.

Dogecoin's fun and charming mascot -- a Shiba Inu dog -- combined with enthusiasm for crypto-based peer-to-peer payments helped fuel some interest in the altcoin.

Nevertheless, Dogecoin remains largely niche. Beyond microtransactions, Dogecoin lacks deeper utility in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) when compared to more established cryptocurrencies or blockchain networks.

Moreover, 5 billion new coins enter circulation each year. This structure makes Dogecoin fundamentally different from Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply of 21 million coins.

Although a growing supply base theoretically makes Dogecoin more accessible to investors, it also makes it harder for the coin to sustain price appreciation. Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin is the opposite of a store of value -- lacking a true value proposition and serving as more of a speculative opportunity.

What is Dogecoin's all-time high price?
Back in 2021, Dogecoin reached an all-time high of roughly $0.70. Since then, the token has lost about 80% of its value.

Dogecoin Price data by YCharts

Dogecoin's rise from a few years ago can be boiled down to a few factors. A number of celebrities, including Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, frequently took to social media and spoke highly of Dogecoin.

Although these endorsements shouldn't have carried much weight, bored retail investors stuck at home were intrigued by Dogecoin's virality and began dumping their COVID-19 stimulus checks into the crypto. This buying frenzy overlapped with the rise of meme stock trading in GameStop and AMC.

In essence, there was an unprecedented amount of liquidity flowing through the capital markets that gave rise to inflated prices in alternative asset classes such as cryptocurrency.

Could Dogecoin reach $1 before 2026?
Although Dogecoin has never reached its prior highs from 2021, investors should note that the coin experienced a brief spike about a year ago.

The main catalyst behind this surge was the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) -- led by none other than Elon Musk. Some investors bought into a narrative that Musk's inclusion in the Trump administration and his deliberate usage of the "DOGE" moniker gave Dogecoin some extra legitimacy. In reality, the creation of the DOGE did nothing to explicitly enhance Dogecoin's developer network or utility.

I bring all of these details up to drive home one main theme: Dogecoin's price does not follow business fundamentals or even technical analysis trends. Rather, the token is highly sensitive to hype-driven narratives that are drummed up on social media.

Looking at Dogecoin through the lens of its recent price and convincing yourself it could reach $1 isn't how valuation really works. If Dogecoin reached a price of $1, its market cap would be north of $120 billion -- making it more valuable than cryptocurrency stocks like Robinhood Markets or Coinbase.

In my eyes, this is unrealistic given how limited Dogecoin's usage is compared to these diversified trading platforms. Smart investors know that buying into unit bias is ultimately a losing proposition.

Given the token has never surpassed prior highs and is meaningfully lower since its last rally about a year ago, in combination with the structure of Dogecoin's growing supply and its lack of utility, I feel confident in saying it will not reach $1 by the end of December.

In general, Canary Capital is leading the pack, accounting for $351 million of the ETF inflows. Bitwise inked $188 million, while the newer & bigger counterparts are trying to catch up. To illustrate, Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ has  breached $123 million, despite just a few days of trading.

Ripple ETF Display Stability Upon XRP’s Price BounceThe XRP Spot market-price tracking ETFs gained over $50 million each time for the past three days on the NYSE Arca & NASDAQ, with investor confidence returning right after XRP’s price reclaimed the $2 price tag, now standing at the $2.20 mid-point level in the campaign to reclaim $2.50.

Out of the four trading Ripple ETFs, Grayscale’s GXRP stands out from the regular crowd with $39.26 million inflows in a single day. As of yesterday, Grayscale’s Ripple ETF was also the only one trading with a discount of -0.26%, meaning the digital fund is under-valued against the ETF’s net asset value (NAV).

As the institutional build-up continues, the OG altcoin edges Solana (SOL) by roughly $250 million in terms of ETF outflows. While both of these altcoins are institutional darlings, XRP’s billions in daily trading volume could be the trump card every institutional player’s looking for.

People Also Ask:What’s fueling Wall Street’s rush into XRP?

Spot XRP ETFs launched November 13, 2025, and notched 12 straight inflow days, hitting $909M cumulative by December 3—faster than early BTC/ETH ramps, thanks to clearer regs and XRP’s payment utility.

How much XRP do ETFs hold now, and what’s the latest flow?

By December 3, 2025, five spot ETFs hold 366M XRP worth $788M AUM (at ~$2.15/XRP), with $67M inflows on December 2 pushing toward $1B; daily volume nears $43M.

Which big firms are powering this XRP ETF surge?

Invesco, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Canary, Grayscale, and 21Shares (launched December 1) lead the charge, with Vanguard unlocking access for millions of clients on December 3.

Why is $1B AUM a pivotal win for XRP?

It triggers a “flywheel” of pension/quant inflows, speeds SEC approvals for pending apps (e.g., WisdomTree), and cements XRP in portfolios amid Ripple’s global nods like Abu Dhabi.

Why no big price spike yet amid ETF frenzy?

XRP’s price trades ~$2.20 as institutions accumulate stealthily sans retail hype, amid BTC pauses and macro rotations—but whale buys (150M+ XRP) and rate cuts eye $2.50+ soon.

Plume Brings Institutional RWA Yield to Solana With Debut of Nest VaultsPlume is bringing real-world yield to Solana with the rollout of its Nest vaults, giving the network’s users direct access to on-chain credit, Treasuries and receivables. Dec 4, 2025, 11:00 a.m.

Plume, a real world asset (RWA)-focused blockchain project, has debuted its Nest yield vaults directly on Solana, giving the network’s users native access to institutional-grade real-world assets for the first time.

The rollout introduces three products — nBASIS, nOPAL and nTBILL — each offering exposure to on-chain credit, U.S. Treasuries and short-term receivables.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Users can deposit stablecoins into Nest and receive a yield-accruing token that can move freely through Solana’s DeFi stack, from automated market makers (AMMs) to lending markets. Tokens can be redeemed at any time, positioning them as composable building blocks for a new “real-world yield economy” on the high-throughput chain.

Plume CBO and co-founder Teddy Pornprinya said crypto is “moving beyond synthetic yield” toward returns anchored in traditional financial activity.

“Stablecoins brought millions into crypto, but yieldcoins will keep them here,” he said.

Plume claims to support more than half of the industry’s RWA volume today, and its expansion to Solana taps into a rapidly growing corner of the chain: real-world asset value on Solana is approaching $1 billion, according to Nick Ducoff, head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation.

The vaults plug directly into Solana-native platforms Loopscale and Jupiter, enabling “leveraged RWA looping” — a mechanism that lets users rehypothecate deposited assets through recursive borrowing to amplify returns while keeping positions collateralized.

Nest deposits also feed into the Plume Nest Points Program, which rewards users for holding and deploying vault tokens as part of an ongoing Season One campaign.

No, Strategy is not going to sell its bitcoin, Bitwise CIO believesMarkets

Quick Take
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said there is no mechanism that would force Strategy to sell its bitcoin, despite market concerns.
MSCI’s index review may remove Strategy from benchmarks, but Hougan argued any impact is likely already priced in.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pushed back against a growing narrative that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) could be compelled to sell its bitcoin holdings, calling the premise "just flat wrong" and arguing that neither index changes nor market pressure creates any such requirement.

In a note to clients late Wednesday titled "No, Virginia, Strategy Is Not Going To Sell Its Bitcoin," Hougan addressed two questions he says have flooded his inbox: whether Strategy will be removed from MSCI indexes, and whether such a move could force the firm to unwind its multi-billion-dollar bitcoin position.

Hougan acknowledged that MSCI is actively considering excluding digital asset treasury companies from its investable indexes, with a decision due Jan. 15. JPMorgan recently estimated that such a removal could trigger up to $2.8 billion of passive selling of Strategy stock. Hougan estimated a 75% chance that Strategy gets booted.

Still, Hougan said history suggests index inclusions and deletions have far less impact than investors fear, noting that Strategy's addition to the Nasdaq-100 last year required funds to buy $2.1 billion of shares and "its price barely moved." He added that Strategy's recent decline since Oct. 10 is likely the market pricing in the possibility of removal and that he does not expect "substantial swings either way."

The larger concern among investors, Houdan said, is that a removal could spark a downward spiral: MSCI exclusion drives the stock lower, the share price drops well below net asset value, and Strategy is forced to sell bitcoin to stabilize its financial position.

Hougan argued this chain of reasoning is unfounded. Even if the stock trades below NAV, "there is nothing about MSTR's price dropping below NAV that will force it to sell." The company faces two obligations on its debt — interest payments of roughly $800 million a year and the need to handle maturities as they arise — but neither creates imminent pressure.

Strategy's $1.44 billion USD reserveOn Monday, Strategy disclosed it had purchased another 130 BTC for approximately $11.7 million at an average price of $89,960 per bitcoin — taking its total holdings to 650,000 BTC.

Perhaps more interestingly, the firm also announced a new U.S. dollar reserve of $1.44 billion to support the payment of dividends on its preferred stocks and interest on its existing debt, funded by at-the-market sales of its MSTR common stock.

"Strategy's current intention is to maintain a USD Reserve in an amount sufficient to fund at least twelve months of dividends, and Strategy intends to strengthen the USD Reserve over time, with the goal of ultimately covering 24 months or more of its dividends," the firm said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

While Strategy has always referenced the possibility of bitcoin sales in its regulatory filings, co-founder Michael Saylor was more explicit during the firm's latest investor call about the scenario, if challenging market conditions persist further into the future. "There are skeptics and cynics that have been of the opinion that we couldn't, or wouldn't, or don't have the will to sell bitcoin in order to finance the dividends, and that sometimes becomes a negative short narrative. I think it's important for us to dispel this notion," Saylor said.

"Not only can the company sell bitcoin in order to pay the dividends, the company can actually sell highly appreciated bitcoin, pay the dividends, and then continuously increase its bitcoin holdings in bitcoin every quarter, forever," Saylor added.

However, Strategy's dividend and interest payments are not a near-term concern, Hougan said, with $1.4 billion in cash enough to easily cover its commitments for a year and a half. Meanwhile, its first debt maturity does not arrive until February 2027 and totals about $1 billion, which he characterized as "chump change" relative to the firm's roughly $60 billion bitcoin holdings. These factors, he said, eliminate the premise that Strategy is anywhere close to needing to liquidate its bitcoin to meet obligations right now.

Insider pressureHougan also dismissed the idea that insiders might push the company to sell its bitcoin should its stock — down 59% from its summer DAT craze peak — continue to slide. Saylor controls 42% of Strategy's voting shares and, he wrote, is unlikely to abandon his long-held conviction. Saylor "didn't sell the last time MSTR stock traded at a discount, in 2022," Hougan said. "You'd be hard pressed to find a human being with more conviction on bitcoin's long-term value."

With bitcoin trading around $93,000 — about 25% above Strategy's average acquisition price of $74,436 — he said the bears' "doom loop" scenario collapses under scrutiny.

In closing, Hougan said crypto investors have legitimate issues to worry about, from slow progress on market-structure legislation to the health of smaller digital asset treasury companies. But Strategy's bitcoin stack, he argued, should not be one of them. The MSCI outcome, in his view, is already largely reflected in the share price, and "there's no plausible near-term mechanism that would force it to sell its bitcoin."

Quick Facts:

➡️ $XRP trades at a key inflection point, with traders split between a breakout toward $3 or a deeper corrective move toward $1.20.
➡️ AI-focused and creator-economy tokens are emerging as a distinct sector, driven by demand for generative tools and more equitable monetization models.
➡️ Web2 creator platforms still capture up to 70% of revenue and can ban accounts arbitrarily, pushing talent to seek censorship-resistant and geographically open alternatives.
➡️ SUBBD Token merges Web3 payments with AI assistants, voice cloning, and token-gated access to help creators keep more earnings and streamline fan engagement.

XRP ($XRP) is back in the spotlight as traders debate whether the token’s next decisive move is a clean breakout toward $3 or a rejection that sends it tumbling toward the $1.20 region.

According to crypto analyst Ali Charts, it’s crucial for $XRP to retain its key support level at $2, otherwise, it could sink to $1.20.

After a strong year for large-cap altcoins, $XRP now sits at a technical crossroads watched by every chart-driven desk in crypto.

Macro conditions aren’t making the decision any easier. Bitcoin’s consolidation near cycle highs and a rotation into high-beta altcoins has kept liquidity in play, but it has also amplified volatility.

When majors like XRP coil in tight ranges, capital often starts hunting narrative-driven mid-caps with clearer upside stories and product-market fit.

That’s where AI and creator-economy tokens have quietly carved out their own corner of the market. It’s not at all surprising, given the growing investments in AI, along with the huge chunk that platforms charge (up to 70%) from creators.

SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) enters that gap, pitching itself as an AI-powered content creation and monetization stack built on Ethereum.

Instead of surrendering control and fees to a centralized platform, creators can route subscriptions, pay-per-view content, AI-driven experiences, and tips through Web3 rails, while fans pay in crypto and unlock token-gated benefits.

If you’re watching $XRP’s next move but want exposure to a very different thesis, this is the emerging narrative to track.

AI Content Tokens Compete for Creator Loyalty
The core problem is simple: creators generate billions in value, but platforms capture a disproportionate share.

Major subscription and fan platforms can charge combined fees of 20%–70% once payment processors and platform cuts stack up, and their opaque moderation can instantly erase a creator’s income stream.

That model is being challenged on several fronts, with some AI-native creator platforming layer chatbots, generative avatars, and voice tools on top.

A handful of tokens already target AI-assisted fan engagement, letting users chat with AI personas or buy AI-crafted media via NFTs.

The SUBBD platform, with its native $SUBBD token, sits in this competitive field as one of several AI-powered content platforms trying to win actual creator loyalty rather than speculative flows.

It takes the familiar playbook, including subscriptions, pay-per-view, NFT sales, and tipping, and aligns it with Web3 economics and integrated AI tools, rather than forcing creators to juggle separate subscriptions and payment providers.

How SUBBD Token Tries to Fix Web2 Creator Economics
Where many rivals bolt a token onto an existing Web2 business, the SUBBD platform is designed around Web3 from the start.

On Ethereum, creators can accept crypto from anywhere, bypass card-based geographic restrictions, and rely on transparent smart contracts for payouts.

The pitch is straightforward: reduce effective fees, cut out arbitrary bans, and keep content rights under creator control.

The platform’s AI stack is meant to make that economic layer feel less technical for both sides. An AI Personal Assistant can automate replies, DMs, and fan interactions, smoothing the experience without forcing creators to be always on.

Voice cloning and AI influencer creation tools enable new content formats entirely, such as AI co-hosts, synthetic collabs, or 24/7 virtual streams that still route value back to the human owner.

Under the hood, its $SUBBD token functions as the access and rewards layer. You can stake tokens for VIP benefits, platform discounts, and XP multipliers.

Its token presale also offers a fixed 20% APY in the first year, plus access to exclusive livestreams, in-house content, and daily BTS drops before the model shifts toward broader platform-benefit staking.

The presale has already raised more than $1.38M at a token price of $0.0571, signaling early demand for the thesis rather than just the ticker.

With the project’s potential to transform the digital creator landscape, its token could reach a high of $0.48 by the end of next year. That’s a 740.63% increase from its current price.

If you think $XRP’s next leg higher depends on macro flows, but AI plus creator equity is a more durable structural theme, it may be worth watching whether $SUBBD can convert presale momentum into real creator adoption.
