CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said Congress is poised to advance crypto market structure legislation. His comments came as Trump Media & Technology Group disclosed a $40 million Bitcoin purchase. The company added the assets to its corporate balance sheet. 

In an X post, analytical platform Lookonchain revealed that Trump Media bought 451 Bitcoin for approximately $40.3 million. The deal bumped the company’s total holdings up to 11,542 BTC, worth more than $1 billion.

Source: X
The purchase follows disclosures made earlier in 2025. Trump Media previously reported holding roughly $2 billion in Bitcoin and related digital asset exposure. The company has positioned Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

CFTC Chairman Highlights Market Structure Legislation
The regulatory focus intensified following Senate confirmation of Michael Selig as the 16th chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In an X post, CFTC chairman said that lawmakers are “poised” to move forward with legislation that will regulate digital asset markets. He said expanding participation and fast-paced technological change have been major drivers, 

Selig thanks President Donald Trump for naming him to chair the agency. He added that the CFTC is moving into a new era as technology transforms market behavior. He also underscored continuity in the agency amid a transition.

The CFTC chairman said Congress is soon to be sending crypto market structure bill to the president’s desk. He said the effort was needed to bring oversight into the “modern era.” CFTC chairman said regulatory structures in place were designed for earlier market formulations.

Legislation Seeks to Clarify Federal Crypto Oversight
The bill would establish federal guidelines for digital tokens. It also clarifies the division of authority between the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Senate bill is called the Responsible Financial Innovation Act. It expands on the House of Representatives’ CLARITY Act, which it approved in July. Consideration had been suspended over the holiday break. The Senate Banking Committee is on track to hold a markup the crypto bill in January, with the possibility of a floor vote.

White House AI and crypto adviser David Sacks called the moment a critical juncture for digital asset regulation. Leadership at the CFTC and SEC is in sync on making the rules clearer, he said. His comments followed renewed legislative activity tied to the market structure proposal.

TL;DR

Venezuela captures 80% of its oil revenue in USDT as sanctions restrict access to traditional payment systems and international banking rails.
Local economists link the use of stablecoins to a recovery in oil output near 1 million barrels per day and a rebound in economic activity.
While USDT improves trade continuity and cross-border settlements, liquidity controls and wallet freezes continue to limit how efficiently the government converts digital assets into usable foreign exchange.

Venezuela captures 80% of oil revenue in USDT, according to local economic analysis, reflecting how digital assets have become embedded in the country’s energy trade. Under persistent sanctions, stablecoins act as a practical settlement layer for crude exports and related transactions.

This development places Venezuela among the most visible examples of crypto usage in commodity markets, with USDT playing a central role in sustaining cash flow from oil sales.

Venezuela Captures 80% Of Oil Revenue In USDT
Economist Asdrubal Oliveros said that roughly 80% of Venezuela’s crude oil sales are settled in USDT, a figure he shared during a recent podcast discussion. He linked the trend to sanctions imposed on PDVSA and the central bank, which restricted access to correspondent banking and dollar clearing systems.

Oil production has risen to around 1 million barrels per day, a level not seen for several years. Oliveros associated part of this recovery with the ability to receive payments through stablecoins, which reduce delays and counterparty risk compared with traditional channels. China remains a major destination for Venezuelan crude, and USDT settlements have reportedly simplified transactions for intermediaries operating outside the US financial system.

PDVSA began requesting digital wallets for spot oil sales in early 2024. Selected banks and exchange houses were later authorized to offer USDT to private firms in exchange for bolívars, integrating stablecoins into domestic trade flows tied to energy exports.

USDT Adoption And Sanctions Constraints
USDT has become a functional tool for Venezuela’s oil trade, but it has not eliminated structural frictions. Capital controls limit how the government can liquidate stablecoin holdings, creating pressure in the foreign exchange market. Oliveros warned that restricted conversion channels can tighten dollar supply and influence local pricing dynamics.

Enforcement actions also shaped the landscape. In 2024, Tether froze 41 wallets linked to sanctioned entities, while US authorities increased scrutiny on buyers of Venezuelan crude. Washington later imposed tariffs on importers and seized oil tankers near Venezuelan waters, escalating tensions.

Despite these constraints, data cited by international media showed that about $119 million in crypto was sold to private buyers over several months, indicating ongoing demand for digital liquidity within the country.

Solana Mobile has ended software update and security patch support for its Saga smartphone.

The company warned that compatibility with new software or services “cannot be guaranteed,” and that Saga-specific customer support is now limited to general inquiries, according to Solana Mobile’s help-center notice.

Solana Mobile said the change “does not affect Seeker devices,” which will continue to receive updates and patches.

What ending Saga support signals for Solana Mobile’s next phaseThe move sets a time limit on the first wave of “crypto-native phone” adoption as Solana Mobile seeks to expand from a single handset into a distribution layer for apps, identity, and token incentives.

Ending patches for a key-carrying endpoint creates a straightforward tradeoff: a smaller long-tail footprint to maintain, and a larger trust burden to carry into the Seeker era.

In that next phase, users are being asked to place more daily signing and custody behavior on-device.

Support duration is also colliding with the broader direction of the phone market.

Apple’s service policy sets “vintage” status at 5–7 years from when a product was last distributed for sale, and “obsolete” after 7 years.

Google says Pixel 8 and later receive 7 years of OS and security updates.

Samsung has pledged 7 years of updates for the Galaxy S24 line.

Qualcomm and Google have pushed Android’s ecosystem toward longer lifecycles on newer Snapdragon programs.

Against that backdrop, a phone positioned around custody and signing faces a higher bar than a typical Android device.

Why long-term software support matters for crypto-first smartphonesThe downside of unpatched software is not only app breakage, but also potential exposure of keys, approvals, and wallet workflows.

Device / PolicyPublic support postureSourceSolana SagaNo further software updates or security patches; compatibility not guaranteedSolana Mobile Help CenterGoogle Pixel 8 and later7 years of OS and security updatesGoogle HelpSamsung Galaxy S24 series7 years of updates pledgeEngadgetApple service classificationVintage at 5–7 years, obsolete after 7 years (service availability rules vary)Apple SupportSolana Mobile is attempting to shift the narrative away from “device lifecycle” and toward “platform lifecycle.”

Its disclosures are designed to anchor that pivot.

At Breakpoint 2024, the company said Seeker had surpassed 150,000 preorders across 57 countries, according to its blog post. Solana Mobile later said Seeker would start shipping worldwide on Aug. 4, 2025.

That framing recasts Saga’s end-of-support as a controlled handoff from an early cohort to a larger install base.

The company’s next lever is SKR, an incentive layer that ties hardware ownership and usage to token distribution.

Over time, that system is also intended to support a governance and review model that Solana Mobile calls “Guardians.”

Solana Mobile said SKR is planned to launch in January 2026 with a total supply of 10 billion tokens and an allocation that includes 30% earmarked for airdrops.

The post also said “over $100M in economic activity” has flowed through 175+ dApps during “Seeker Season” over the past few months.

That positions the phone as an alternative distribution rail rather than a one-time hardware sale.

What the SKR airdrop math suggests for Seeker holdersThose figures allow setting expectation ranges without relying on token price assumptions.

If 30% of SKR supply is reserved for airdrops, that implies 3 billion SKR designated for distribution, based on Solana Mobile’s published allocation.

If 150,000 Seeker preorder holders were eligible on equal terms, that would be 20,000 SKR per device.

If eligibility were limited to “active” devices and 60% qualified, that rises to about 33,333 SKR per active device.

If allocations include developers, non-device users, or multiple campaigns, the per-device figure declines accordingly.

SKR airdrop pool assumptionEligible participantsImplied SKR per participantMath basis30% of 10B = 3B SKR150,000 devices20,0003,000,000,000 / 150,00030% of 10B = 3B SKR90,000 active devices (60%)33,3333,000,000,000 / 90,000A parallel range can be sketched for platform throughput using Solana Mobile’s “Seeker Season” activity claim.

If “past few months” is interpreted as three to five months, $100 million equates to roughly $20 million to $33 million per month flowing through participating dApps, using only the company’s stated totals.

Whether that flow becomes recurring depends on two measurable milestones already on the calendar: SKR’s distribution mechanics in January 2026 and the rollout of Guardians in 2026.

The Guardians rollout is intended to decentralize app review and attribution, according to the same SKR post.

Saga’s end-of-support notice is also arriving as Solana’s on-chain activity keeps pushing mobile distribution from a branding exercise into a strategic surface.

DefiLlama data shows Solana stablecoin market cap at about $15.218 billion, up 16.79% over 30 days. DefiLlama also shows Solana DEX volume at about $94.439 billion over 30 days.

Visa’s stablecoin settlement expansion includes USDC settlement over Solana for participating banks, with broader rollout expected through 2026.

If Solana is competing on payments and trading throughput, a phone-level channel that bundles custody, signing, and a curated app marketplace becomes a distribution advantage.

But it also concentrates reputational exposure around update policy and post-sale security maintenance.

That is the core tension Solana Mobile faces as it sunsets Saga.

Token incentives can accelerate adoption, but they can also shift consumer intent toward episodic airdrop behavior.

A shorter support window can amplify the cost of any security incident into a brand-level event.

Solana Mobile’s help center language clearly sets expectations, stating that Saga will no longer receive security patches and that new service compatibility is not guaranteed.

The notice also states that Seeker will continue to receive updates and patches.

Bitcoin is effectively in a holding pattern. The market lacks conviction, with price repeatedly rebounding between well-defined support and resistance levels but failing to establish a sustained trend in either direction.

That kind of range-bound action typically reflects hesitation from both buyers and sellers, often ahead of a larger move.

Summary

Bitcoin is trading in a tight range as buyers and sellers remain evenly matched, with price repeatedly bouncing between short-term support and resistance levels.
According to technical analysis from DrBullZeus, failed breakouts and shallow pullbacks suggest both sides are defending key zones, keeping volatility contained.
A sustained break above resistance could trigger renewed bullish momentum, while a decisive drop below support would shift sentiment bearish and open the door to lower prices seen earlier in December.

The cryptocurrency has remained confined within a defined price band, with neither buyers nor sellers establishing clear control, according to analysis from crypto analyst DrBullZeus posted on social media.

Price keeps bouncing between the same support and resistance zones, with no real follow-through yet. Until we see a clean break on either side, this remains range-bound price action.

The analysis indicates Bitcoin has repeatedly tested the same support and resistance zones on the 1-hour candlestick chart. The price has oscillated between a mid-range support level and an upper resistance band below a key overhead level, with multiple attempts to break through either zone failing to produce sustained movement.

Short-term breakouts have stalled quickly, while pullbacks have not developed into deeper corrections, according to the technical analysis. The pattern suggests buyers step in near support levels while sellers defend resistance, containing price volatility.

The next directional move depends on how Bitcoin reacts at two key levels, the analysis stated. On the upside, a resistance zone below a key overhead level represents the main barrier. A sustained break above this area could signal buyers are gaining control and potentially allow for movement toward the next price target, according to the analyst.

Recent attempts to move higher have stalled at this resistance zone, the analysis noted. A decisive breakout would likely attract fresh momentum and shift short-term sentiment from range-bound trading to bullish conditions.

On the downside, a mid-range support zone continues to act as a buffer against deeper losses. The range structure remains intact as long as this level holds, according to the analysis. However, a clear break below this support would shift short-term sentiment to bearish and could expose Bitcoin to a move toward lower levels where the cryptocurrency found demand in early December, the analyst stated.

At press time, Bitcoin was trading modestly higher after rebounding from an intraday low near the identified support level, according to market data.

Could XRP Overtake Ethereum by 2026? A Bold Prediction Is Fueling Debate

TLDR

BTC encountered technical resistance near $89,542 before pulling back to the $88,000 range.
Recent Federal Reserve rate cuts have failed to reignite bullish market momentum.
Investors are showing a defensive stance, rotating capital into gold and silver at record levels.

The digital asset market began the week under high technical tension. The Bitcoin price  faces stiff resistance in the $90,000 zone, a psychological and technical level that has thwarted all recovery attempts in recent weeks. After reaching an intraday high near $89,542, the pioneer crypto pulled back toward $88,000, reflecting a lack of conviction among buyers.

Despite the drop, there are signs of stabilization. Bitcoin remains oscillating between $87,000 and $88,000, a sideways movement that analysts interpret as a necessary consolidation rather than a massive capitulation. It is worth noting that the asset has been in a downtrend since its all-time high of $126,000 reached in October—a month that, against all historical odds, marked the beginning of the current selling pressure.

Macroeconomic Uncertainty and the Safe Haven in Precious Metals
A determining factor in the Bitcoin price today is the apathetic response to monetary policies. Although the Federal Reserve executed interest rate cuts in both October and December—measures that traditionally boost risk assets—the crypto market has failed to capitalize on this tailwind. Macroeconomic uncertainty seems to outweigh the stimulus, leading investors to seek safety in traditional assets.

This rotation of capital toward “safe havens” has pushed gold and silver to new all-time highs, leaving the Bitcoin price in a secondary position. Risk appetite has diminished, explaining why Bitcoin has fallen more than 8% compared to December of last year.

However, this tight consolidation could be laying the groundwork for 2026. If overall market sentiment improves and a decisive breakout above $90,000 is achieved, Bitcoin could reactivate institutional interest.

For now, the market remains in wait-and-see mode, watching to see if current support levels can contain the pressure before the annual close.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market declined steadily during the U.S. trading session on Monday, reversing earlier gains and signaling continued volatility. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $88,000 after briefly trading above $90,000, while Ethereum (ETH) also retreated, slipping back under the key $3,000 level. The pullback reflects cautious sentiment among traders as markets brace for a record-setting crypto options expiration later this week.

Despite the downturn in digital asset prices, some crypto-related stocks managed to hold onto gains. Hut 8 (HUT) stood out as a top performer, rising roughly 16% on Monday. The stock continues to benefit from last week’s announcement of a 15-year AI data center lease agreement with Fluidstack, as well as a price target increase from Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer. Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) also traded higher, though both pared earlier gains as Bitcoin and Ethereum prices softened. Meanwhile, Strategy (MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy, swung from a 3% intraday gain to a modest loss by late afternoon, mirroring the broader crypto pullback.

Market participants are closely watching Friday’s massive Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiration on Deribit, the world’s largest crypto derivatives exchange. According to Deribit’s chief commercial officer Jean-David Pequignot, approximately $28.5 billion in BTC and ETH options are set to expire, representing more than half of the exchange’s total open interest of $52.2 billion. This historic expiration comes amid choppy price action, with Bitcoin oscillating between $85,000 and $90,000 in recent sessions.

Pequignot noted that Bitcoin’s “max pain” level sits near $96,000, a price point where options sellers would benefit most. However, significant open interest of about $1.2 billion is concentrated at the $85,000 put strike, which could exert downward pressure on spot prices if bearish momentum accelerates. While longer-term call spreads targeting $100,000 to $125,000 remain active, short-term protective puts have become more expensive, highlighting persistent caution.

Traders appear to be rolling defensive positions into January rather than exiting the market entirely, suggesting near-term risk management alongside longer-term uncertainty. Overall, the combination of falling crypto prices, elevated options activity, and shifting derivatives positioning underscores a cautious yet complex outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market as year-end approaches.

No doubt, Q4 has shaped up to be the weakest quarter of 2025.

The pullback has wiped out nearly 63% of the gains from the Q2–Q3 run, pushing many HODLers underwater.

Still, there’s a week left before the year wraps up, and the market is heading into a holiday-thin liquidity period. Timing-wise, that matters. 

Bitcoin [BTC] is still trading 25% below its $126k high, but despite the ongoing FUD, its market dominance hasn’t really budged, hovering close to 60%. That points to capital staying parked rather than rotating out.

Source: TradingView (BTC.D/USDT)

In other words, that dominance points to underlying confidence.

Under normal conditions, you’d expect some rotation into altcoins. Instead, altcoin dominance (excluding–top 10) has compressed to just 6.73%, a five-year low, reinforcing that risk appetite remains concentrated in Bitcoin.

That sets up the real question: What happens if macro FUD cools and the market flips back risk-on? With the “holiday season” around the corner, do bulls step in, squeeze late shorts, triggering the textbook bear-trap setup?

Is a short squeeze setting up Bitcoin’s holiday bounce?
The holiday season couldn’t have come at a better time.

Technically, it’s been over a month since Bitcoin reclaimed $90k, and naturally, a thick short-liquidity cluster has built up just above that level, as shorts have been playing the volatility.

Zooming in, there’s over $5.8 billion in leveraged shorts around $95k, making it a clear target for bulls. Will they step in? Notably, Bitcoin’s MVRV is flashing “undervaluation,” adding extra incentive for a potential move.

Source: Coinglass

In short, the stage looks set for a textbook bear trap.

Supporting this, Bitcoin’s technicals are reinforcing the undervaluation. RSI is hanging around 35, and BTC has chopped under $90k for six straight weeks, potentially setting up that classic resistance-to-support flip.

From here, a breakout above this zone could hit stacked short-liquidity clusters, adding upward pressure and potentially kicking off Bitcoin’s “holiday rally,” with $95k as the near-term resistance target.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin dominance remains strong despite the Q4 pullback, signaling capital is staying put, while altcoin dominance hits a five-year low.
Technicals hint at a potential bear-trap setup, with $5.8 billion in short liquidity poised to fuel Bitcoin’s holiday rally.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ: GAUZ) between March 11, 2025 and November 13, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important February 6, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Gauzy securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Gauzy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48715 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) three of Gauzy’s French subsidiaries lacked the financial means to meet their debts as they became due; (2) as a result, it was substantially likely insolvency proceedings would be commenced; (3) as a result, it was substantially likely a potential default under Gauzy’s existing senior secured debt facilities would be triggered; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Gauzy’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Gauzy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48715 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Guangdong, China, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wing Yip Food Holdings Group Limited (the “Company” or “Wing Yip”) (Nasdaq: WYHG), a meat product processing company in mainland China, today announced that the Company received a written notification (the “Notification Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on December 22, 2025, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for the 30 consecutive business days from November 7, 2025 to December 19, 2025, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

The Notification Letter does not impact the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until June 22, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company’s ADSs must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by June 22, 2026, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

The Company’s business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding ADSs, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
