Company urges customers to conserve water as New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection issues Drought Warning

, /PRNewswire/ -- Following the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP)'s issuance of a Drought Warning today, New Jersey American Water has issued a mandatory conservation notice for all customers across the state. The company requests that customers limit all nonessential water usage by conserving as much water as possible indoors. 

"Water is our most precious resource, and during times like these, every drop counts," said Ben Morris, Vice President of Operations for New Jersey American Water. "We're working closely with state officials and monitoring conditions across our systems, but conservation starts at home. By reducing nonessential water use now, we can help protect our water supplies."

In October, the NJ DEP issued a Drought Watch following a prolonged period of low precipitation. The Watch was upgraded to a Warning today, following a public hearing yesterday to gauge the severity of water supply concerns.

"The precipitation and water supply uncertainty we've experienced over the past year is a symptom of the impacts of climate change here in New Jersey," said Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette. "We ask residents, businesses, and partners in local government to join us in spreading the urgency of the need to conserve water."

As a result of this public hearing and escalation, New Jersey American Water is urging customers to limit all non-essential water use and providing the following guidelines below:

Indoor Conservation Guidelines:

Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing dishes in the sink.
Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when full. If you have a water-saver cycle, use it.
Take shorter showers. Try to shower in five minutes or less.
Be a leak detective. Find and fix leaks and breaks in hoses, sprinkler systems, pipes and toilets. For help, download New Jersey American Water's Leak Detection Kit at newjerseyamwater.com under Water Information.
Insulate exposed water pipes with pre-slit foam insulation to maintain warmth and avoid wasting water while it heats up.
Consider water and energy-efficient appliances. Products and services that have earned the US EPA WaterSense label have been certified to be at least 20 percent more efficient without sacrificing performance.

"These small but impactful actions not only protect our water supplies but also help customers save money on their water bills," added Morris. "For those who may need extra support with bills this season, we have various assistance programs available to help customers manage costs."

New Jersey American Water has been closely monitoring supply levels in coordination with operation centers across its system. The company does not anticipate a major threat to its water supply and is leveraging redundancies to shift between water sources to provide uninterrupted water service at this time. The DEP's Drought Warning designation and New Jersey American Water's Mandatory Water Conservation Notice prioritize preserving available water supplies to avert a more serious water shortage.

New Jersey American Water customers can monitor their water usage and find ways to use water more wisely and apply for bill assistance if needed online through their MyWater account. More indoor and outdoor water-saving tips can be found on New Jersey American Water's website at newjerseyamwater.com/conservation and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Water Conservation Website.

Ethereum has retraced from the $3,240 level and is now testing the $3,150 zone as support, a key area that traders are closely watching. Bulls are attempting to defend this level after a modest rebound, but uncertainty remains high as the market tries to establish direction following weeks of volatility and aggressive selling pressure. While some analysts view this consolidation as the early stages of a recovery, others warn that ETH may still be vulnerable to deeper pullbacks if momentum fails to strengthen.

According to top analyst Darkfost, Ethereum’s recent price action is being shaped by a notable shift in market structure. Over the past few days, spot volumes have continued to decline, even as the price attempted a small recovery. This weakening in spot activity reduces the impact of actual buying and selling on the underlying asset, making futures markets increasingly influential in dictating short-term price direction.

As Darkfost explains, when spot volume thins out, futures often become the dominant driver of volatility. This dynamic can accelerate both upside and downside moves, depending on traders’ positioning. With Ethereum now sitting at a critical support level, the market awaits clearer signals to determine whether this rebound can evolve into a sustained recovery or merely represents a temporary pause in the downtrend.

Futures-Driven Momentum Raises the Stakes for Ethereum
Darkfost expands on this dynamic by noting that when spot volumes weaken to the extent seen over the past few days, the risk of heightened volatility increases sharply. Thin spot liquidity means fewer buy and sell orders are available to absorb sudden moves, allowing futures-driven momentum to exert an outsized influence on price. This environment often produces sharper swings and rapid directional shifts, as leveraged traders and algorithmic strategies dominate short-term market behavior.

For now, the futures market is tilting upward, providing a constructive force that is helping Ethereum hold above the $3,150 support zone. Darkfost emphasizes that this upward pressure from futures could work in the bulls’ favor, as volatility—if it expands to the upside—may push the spot market to follow the same trajectory.

In other words, a sustained futures-led rebound could act as the spark needed for a broader recovery, especially if spot buyers gain confidence and begin re-entering the market.

However, this setup cuts both ways. Without stronger spot participation, any reversal in futures positioning could quickly translate into accelerated downside pressure. For now, Ethereum sits in a delicate phase where volatility is both a potential catalyst and a potential threat, making the next few sessions crucial for determining the market’s short-term direction.

ETH Weekly Structure Holds Key Support
Ethereum’s weekly chart shows a market attempting to stabilize after a steep downturn from the $4,500 region. ETH has rebounded toward $3,140, reclaiming its 100-week moving average (green line) — a historically important support level that often defines the boundary between mid-term bullish and bearish phases. This bounce signals renewed demand at a critical zone, especially after the strong wick rejection seen near $2,700, where buyers stepped in aggressively.

ETH consolidates around key level | Source: ETHUSDT chart on TradingView
However, Ethereum still faces meaningful resistance overhead. The 50-week moving average (blue line), now hovering near $3,400–$3,500, has flipped into resistance and remains the next major hurdle for bulls. A successful reclaim of this zone would materially improve ETH’s technical structure and open the door to a challenge of higher levels. Until then, the weekly trend remains neutral to slightly bearish.

Volume offers an encouraging signal: the recent rebound occurred with a noticeable uptick in buying activity compared to prior weeks, suggesting strengthened interest at these lower levels. Yet the broader structure shows a pattern of lower highs since August, meaning ETH must demonstrate follow-through to avoid slipping back into deeper consolidation.

Summarize this article with:

The social sentiment around XRP has just dropped to its lowest level since October, according to Santiment data. The crypto is going through what the platform describes as a “fear zone”. This emotional setback contrasts with past movements, where similar phases had preceded a marked rebound. In a tense crypto market, XRP could once again surprise.

In Brief

The social sentiment around XRP reaches its lowest level since October, according to the Santiment platform.
This drop places the token in a ‘fear zone,’ historically associated with price rebounds.
In a similar previous case on November 21, XRP jumped 22 % in three days.
The contrast between negative social sentiment and technical/institutional signals calls for a nuanced analysis.

The Social Sentiment of XRP Crashes Sharply, Down to the Fear Zone
According to the latest data from the analytics platform Santiment, the social sentiment around XRP plunged to its lowest level since October, entering what analysts call the fear zone, while an expert reveals the invisible brake to its growth.

This situation might seem critical, but it is not unprecedented. Santiment reminds that the last time such a fear level was reached, the crypto price rebounded 22 % in three days.

“The last time such a fear level was observed in the community was on November 21, and the crypto price immediately jumped 22 % over the following three days,” the platform emphasizes. It adds : “an opportunity seems to present itself again, as it did two weeks ago”.

Here are the main factual elements to remember :

The social sentiment of XRP is at its lowest since October, according to Santiment ;

On November 21, a similar fear level preceded a +22 % rally in 3 days ;

XRP shows a 4.6 % drop over the last 24 hours, falling below $2.10 ;

This is the worst performance among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap during this period ;

The crypto is currently down 42 % from its all-time high of last July ;

According to Santiment, this sentiment drop could create a buying opportunity, as has been seen in similar setups.

While these signals obviously do not guarantee a turnaround, they provide a reading of the crypto market evolution: extreme fear might be a turning point rather than a signal of pullback.

Institutional and Technical Supports Keep XRP Afloat
While attention focuses on the emotional climate of the market, some actors underline another reality: the technical robustness of XRP and the continued institutional interest.

Justin d’Anethan, research head at Arctic Digital, stated that “XRP looks less and less like a wave and more and more like a puddle”. According to him, prices stagnate in an area of low conviction, close to capitulation.

However, he insists : “this is not entirely bearish, as these zones often mark a bottom that can then benefit from legal advances, regulatory clarity, a US approach, and the value of cross-border payment”.

Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, points to the resilience of the $2 threshold, even in a generally bearish market. He explains this hold partly by institutional inflows : “a persistent bullish momentum is fueled by sustained institutional flows exceeding $750 million in spot ETFs this month”.

Although daily inflows have slowed, only $12.8 million on Thursday, the lowest level since November 21, according to SoSoValue, cumulative flows remain positive since these products were launched mid-November, with $881 million in net assets spread across five funds.

The XRP price moves in a context of tension between strong technical indicators and degraded social sentiment. If history repeats itself, this emotional retreat phase could precede a bullish move. The coming days will be decisive to confirm or not this scenario.

Strive Asset Management is pushing back against MSCI’s latest proposal. The index provider suggested removing companies with bitcoin holdings over 50% of total assets from major equity benchmarks.

In a letter to MSCI CEO Henry Fernandez, Strive warned the plan could create uneven results worldwide. Companies report bitcoin differently under U.S. GAAP and IFRS accounting standards. Strive said this could lead to inconsistent outcomes for firms with similar exposure.

The Nasdaq-listed firm urged MSCI to rely on optional “ex-digital-asset treasury” index variants instead of redefining eligibility for broad benchmarks. These custom indexes already exist for sectors like energy and tobacco.

Strive is the 14th-largest public corporate bitcoin holder, with more than 7,500 BTC on its balance sheet. Its executives argued that the proposal would “depart from index neutrality” and asked MSCI to “let the market decide” how bitcoin-heavy firms are treated.

Co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy and Anson Frericks in 2022, Strive has a mission to “depoliticize corporate America.”

MSCI’s ruling affect on companies like Strive and Strategy The rule change could affect major players like Strategy, which holds 650,000 BTC. JPMorgan estimates MSCI’s exclusion could trigger $2.8 billion in passive outflows from Strategy alone. If other index providers follow suit, the total could rise to $8.8 billion.

Strive’s letter criticized the 50% threshold as “unjustified, overbroad and unworkable.” Many bitcoin treasury companies operate real businesses. 

These include AI data centers, structured finance, and cloud infrastructure. Miners such as MARA, Riot, Hut 8, and CleanSpark are pivoting into renting excess power and compute capacity.

The firm drew comparisons to other industries. Indexes do not exclude energy companies with large oil reserves or gold miners whose value depends on metals. Applying a bitcoin-specific rule, Strive argued, imposes an investment judgment on benchmarks meant to remain neutral.

Executives also highlighted market volatility and accounting differences. Bitcoin’s price swings could push companies in and out of eligibility from quarter to quarter. Derivatives or structured products further complicate exposure calculations.

Strive warned that strict rules could push innovation abroad. U.S. markets may face penalties, while international companies benefit from IFRS treatment. The firm believes the proposal may stifle new bitcoin-backed financial products.

MSCI plans to announce its decision on January 15, 2026, before the February index review. Strive is among several firms lobbying against the proposal. Its argument centers on fairness, neutrality, and market choice rather than restricting investor access.

Last week, Strategy’s Michael Saylor disputed MSCI index disputes and clarified that Strategy is a publicly traded operating company with a $500 million software business and a treasury strategy using Bitcoin, not a fund, trust, or holding company.

The crypto market is bleeding as leveraged liquidations intensify, sending Bitcoin back below $90,000.

Analysts are warning that if bulls fail to defend the critical $84,000 support level, Bitcoin’s price prediction could tilt into a full-blown bear market.

$200M Wiped Out As Crypto Liquidations Trigger Market-Wide SelloffOver the last four hours, more than $200 million in leveraged positions have been liquidated across the crypto market.

Bitcoin is down over 3%, while Ethereum has plunged over 4%. The bloodbath has wiped out over $100 billion in total market capitalization today.

🚨BREAKING:

Crypto liquidations have resumed, sending Bitcoin back below $90,000.

Over the last 4 hours, more than $200 million in leveraged positions have been wiped out.

Volatility is back. ⚠️📉 pic.twitter.com/YCmzcQdkab

— The market periodical (@tmp_periodical) December 5, 2025
The carnage follows today’s massive options expiry event, which traders had been monitoring closely.

A staggering $3.357 billion worth of BTC options with a max pain point at $91,000 expired today, alongside $668 million worth of ETH options with a max pain at $3,050.

Prominent trader TraderThanos is leaning heavily bearish as the 5-day candle closes below $93,000.

“Maybe we get another retest of 93k-93.2k. That would align more perfectly with my current bias. The next leg down takes us to 76k,” he warned.

Thanos highlighted a critical technical breakdown: “This is the first time price is trading under those Moving Averages since June/July of 2023,” referring to the 100 EMA and 100 MA on the 5-day timeframe.

If price stays beneath these moving averages, he expects a drop to the $72,000-$76,000 range.

Adding to the bearish sentiment, the odds of Bitcoin hitting $80,000 by year-end have now surpassed 40% on Polymarket.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bulls Must Hold $84K or Face $76KBitcoin is trading below all major moving averages on the 4-hour chart, keeping the broader structure tilted bearish.

The 200-MA near $95,000 remains the key resistance that must be reclaimed to restore bullish momentum, but repeated rejections show sellers aggressively defending that zone.

Immediate support sits around $84,000, which stabilized the price during the last flush.

Source: TradingViewHowever, if Bitcoin fails to bounce strongly from this level, the broader corrective structure could extend toward deeper support near $76,000, where a more meaningful reversal becomes likely.

Bitcoin’s direction remains biased lower as long as it stays capped under $95,000.

A reclaim of that level would signal trend restoration, but until then, indicators point toward continued weakness.

WisdomTree has launched the WisdomTree Physical Lido Staked Ether ETP (LIST), the first European exchange-traded product backed entirely by Lido’s stETH.

The product became available on Thursday, Dec. 4.

Summary

WisdomTree launched the WisdomTree Physical Lido Staked Ether ETP (LIST).
The product became available on Thursday, Dec. 4.
It’s the first European exchange-traded product backed entirely by Lido’s stETH.

LIST is now trading on Deutsche Börse Xetra, SIX Swiss Exchange, and Euronext Paris and Amsterdam, according to WisdomTree. The product provides investors access to Ethereum staking rewards through a regulated exchange-traded instrument.

The ETP holds stETH, the liquid staking token issued by the Lido protocol that represents staked Ethereum. The product is physically backed, meaning every unit of the ETP corresponds directly to underlying stETH, with no non-staking buffer for deposits or redemptions, according to the company.

LIST launched with approximately $50 million in initial capital and applies a 0.50% management fee, WisdomTree stated.

Staked Ether (stETH) is the liquid token representing Ethereum deposited via Lido, the largest staking provider on the Ethereum network. Lido enables users to stake ETH without traditional lock-up periods or withdrawal delays by issuing a liquid token. Rewards are added through a rebasing mechanism, which increases token balances over time.

Why it matters
Lido currently accounts for nearly one-quarter of all staked Ethereum, according to network data.

The product carries risks including potential price divergence between stETH and ETH during volatile market periods, smart contract risk from the Lido protocol, and general cryptocurrency market volatility, according to WisdomTree disclosures. The company has indicated the product is designed for informed and experienced investors.

The launch represents continued integration of decentralized staking mechanisms with regulated financial infrastructure in European markets.

In September, WisdomTree launched a private credit fund on the blockchain, with a $25 minimum investment.

In Malaysia’s illegal Bitcoin (BTC) mining hotspots, the hunt begins in the sky.

Drones buzz over rows of shops and abandoned houses, sweeping for pockets of unexpected heat, which is the thermal signature of machines that shouldn’t be running.

On the ground, police carry handheld sensors that sniff out irregular power use. Sometimes the pursuit is more low-tech: residents call in with complaints of strange bird noises, only for officers to discover nature sounds being used to mask the roar of machinery behind closed doors.

The surveillance net exists because the scale of the problem demands it. As a local news outlet reported, between 2020 and August 2025, authorities caught 13,827 premises stealing electricity for crypto mining, mostly Bitcoin.

Losses are pegged at roughly 4.6 billion ringgit, worth about $1.1 billion, according to state-owned energy company Tenaga Nasional (TNB) and the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry.

By early October, with Bitcoin hitting record highs before collapsing by more than 30% and rebounding, authorities had logged around 3,000 power-theft cases tied to mining.

The miners they’re chasing are careful. They hop from empty storefronts to deserted houses, installing heat shields to cloak the glow of their rigs.

They equip entrances with CCTV cameras, heavy-duty security, and broken-glass deterrents to keep unwanted visitors out.

This cat-and-mouse game has been running for years, but the numbers suggest it’s accelerating.

TNB has reported that crypto-linked electricity theft rose nearly 300% over the past six years, with cumulative losses of roughly 3.4 billion ringgit between 2018 and 2023 alone.

Adding earlier years, the true bill from Bitcoin power theft inches closer to 8 billion ringgit. In Perak, landlords have been left with millions in unpaid TNB bills because tenants ran illegal mining operations and walked away, forcing owners to either chase them or absorb the charges.

The sensor grid behind the crackdownWhat began as simple meter checks has evolved into a multi-layered surveillance operation.
TNB’s control room now watches transformer-level smart meters for unexplained losses.

These Distribution Transformer Meters, part of a pilot program, record the amount of power flowing into a neighborhood circuit in real time.

If the sum of the customer meters underneath looks too low, operators know power is being diverted somewhere in that cluster.

Anomalies kick out a list of target streets. Teams then overfly those streets with thermal drones at night and walk them with handheld load sensors. That turns what used to be “knock and peek behind every roller shutter” into a guided search.

The drones pick up heat signatures from suspected mining clusters, and the sensors confirm irregular draws.

A 2022 Tenaga briefing already described the use of drones alongside conventional meter inspections, which gives the operation a clear arc: basic enforcement first, then data-driven monitoring as the problem scales.

The utility has also built an internal database that links suspicious premises to owners and tenants.
The energy ministry says that the database is now the reference point for inspections and raids tied to Bitcoin-related power theft.

It addresses a persistent enforcement problem: equipment is often registered to shell entities, and premises are rented or sublet, which dilutes conviction risk even when raids succeed.

On Nov. 19, the government rolled out a cross-agency special committee staffed by the Finance Ministry, Bank Negara Malaysia, and TNB to coordinate a crackdown. The deputy energy minister, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, who chairs the panel, frames the risk as existential.

In a recent report by Bloomberg News, he stated:

“The risk of allowing such activities to happen is no longer about stealing. You can actually even break our facilities. It becomes a challenge to our system.”

Overloaded transformers, fires, and localized blackouts are now part of the equation.

There is an open discussion inside that committee about recommending an outright ban on Bitcoin mining, even when operators pay for power.

Nasir is blunt:

“Even if you run it properly, the challenge is that the market itself is very volatile. I don’t see any well-run mining that can be considered as successful legally.”

He has also suggested the pattern of mobile sites points to organized criminal syndicates running the show, adding that it is “clearly run by the syndicate, because of how mobile they are from setting up in one place to another place. It does have modus operandi.”

The economics of meter-tamperingThe core economic logic is simple: heavily subsidized grid power, a high-priced asset, and almost no labor.

Malaysia’s domestic tariffs have historically been low, with stepped residential rates starting around 21.8 sen per kilowatt-hour for the first 200 kWh and rising to around 51-57 sen for higher bands.

After a long freeze, the base tariff increased in 2025 to around 45.4 sen per kWh for the 2025/2027 regulatory period, and high-usage customers now face additional surcharges on consumption above 600 kWh a month.

Even so, analysts and crypto sites summarizing the ministry’s numbers describe Malaysia’s effective electricity prices as roughly $0.01-$0.05 per kWh, depending on class and subsidy.

For a miner running dozens or hundreds of ASICs around the clock, the difference between paying even those subsidized tariffs and paying nothing is the difference between marginal profits and very fat ones.

That creates the incentive to bypass meters entirely.

In many raids, investigators find cables tapped directly into overhead lines or incoming mains before the meter, so that the recorded consumption for the property appears to be that of a normal small shop or house while the transformer supplying it runs at several times the expected load.

Akmal has explicitly tied the surge in theft to Bitcoin’s price, noting in July that with BTC above about 500,000 ringgit per coin, more operators are “willing to take the risk of stealing electricity for mining.”

The downside exists, but feels diluted. The Electricity Supply Act allows for fines up to 1 million ringgit and up to 10 years in prison for meter tampering, and police data show hundreds of arrests and tens of millions of ringgit in seized equipment over the last few years.

But syndicate structures soften the blow: equipment is registered to shells, premises are sublet, and the people actually running the rigs are rarely the ones holding the lease.

There’s also a system-level opportunity cost. Malaysia is trying to decarbonize its grid by shifting away from coal toward gas and solar, while also powering a wave of data centers.

Every stolen kilowatt-hour is power that could have gone to paying industrial and digital economy customers instead of subsidizing underground farms.

Where do they go when the lights go outLocally, the geography of evasion is striking. Illegal miners in peninsular Malaysia hop between empty shoplots, abandoned houses, and partially vacant malls, installing heat shields, CCTV, and even broken-glass strips over entrances to slow down raids.

One viral example was a massive operation in the mostly empty ElementX Mall near the Strait of Malacca, which only cleared out after TikTok footage spread.

In Sarawak, officials have found mining gear hidden in remote logging yards or buildings deep inside forested areas, with direct taps into overhead lines.

What tends to happen after a crackdown is not that miners disappear, but that hash power migrates to the next-cheapest or least-enforced grid.

Globally, the pattern is clear: China’s 2021 mining ban triggered the “Great Mining Migration,” with fleets of machines heading to Kazakhstan, North America, and other energy-rich jurisdictions.

When Kazakhstan later clamped down on unregistered miners and power station kickbacks, some of that hardware moved again, including into Russia and other parts of Central Asia.

In 2025, newer echoes of that same dynamic are playing out across the region. Kuwait is in the middle of a sweeping crackdown, raiding homes that were using up to 20 times the normal amount of electricity and blaming miners for worsening a power crisis.

Laos, which initially courted miners with excess hydropower, is now planning to cut off electricity to crypto operations by early 2026 to redirect power to AI data centers, metal refining, and EV manufacturing.

China itself, despite its 2021 ban, has seen underground mining rebound to an estimated 14% to 20% of global hashrate by late 2025 as operators exploit cheap electricity and overbuilt data-center infrastructure in energy-rich provinces.

Malaysia is slotting into this broader pattern. When enforcement tightens in one region with cheap or subsidized power, miners either go further underground in that country, into remote buildings, with better camouflage and more aggressive meter-tapping, or they hop to the next jurisdiction where the math still works, and the risk feels manageable.

Akmal all but spells this out, arguing that the mobility of sites and the speed with which rigs can be moved point to syndicate-style operations rather than hobbyists.

The stakes are no longer just about theft. They’re about whether Malaysia can protect grid infrastructure that is supposed to finance a green transition and a data-center boom, or whether it becomes another way station in the global hunt for cheap electrons, one drone sweep at a time.

XRP is currently witnessing the formation of a triangle pattern, with its price consolidating around the $2.00 mark. This pattern suggests that a significant price movement could be imminent, as historical trends indicate that such formations often precede either a bullish breakout or a bearish downturn. The presence of major resistance at $2.20 further intensifies the anticipation among traders and analysts who are closely monitoring these developments.

The triangular configuration that XRP finds itself in is a common technical analysis pattern known for its ability to signal potential breakouts. In this case, the declining trading volume offers additional clues. A drop in volume often points to reduced market activity and can be a precursor to volatility as traders await a clear direction. Once a breakout occurs, the volume typically spikes, confirming the move and potentially leading to rapid price fluctuations.

As of now, XRP is testing the key resistance level at $2.20. This level is not just a psychological barrier but also a significant threshold that, if breached, could pave the way for further gains. However, should the price fail to surpass this point, a reversal could see XRP retracing to lower levels, underscoring the inherent volatility associated with cryptocurrencies.

XRP’s current price movements are noteworthy within the broader context of the cryptocurrency market. Cryptocurrencies, known for their unpredictability and fast-paced changes, have been subject to various macroeconomic factors, including regulatory scrutiny and shifts in investor sentiment. Over the past decade, XRP has established itself as one of the key players in the digital asset space, often weathering market fluctuations with resilience.

A potential breakout above $2.20 could reignite interest in XRP, drawing in new investors and possibly enhancing its market capitalization. As of December 2025, XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap, a position it has held through its association with Ripple, a company that facilitates cross-border payments. Ripple’s ongoing legal battles with regulatory bodies have been a focal point for investors, impacting XRP’s price trajectory in recent years.

Despite the optimism surrounding XRP’s technical setup, caution is warranted. The cryptocurrency market is notoriously volatile, and the risks associated with digital assets are substantial. Regulatory developments, particularly those concerning cryptocurrency exchanges and their compliance with financial laws, can heavily influence market dynamics. In addition, technological vulnerabilities and cybersecurity threats pose continual challenges to the integrity and security of digital currencies.

Looking beyond XRP, the cryptocurrency market as a whole has experienced significant evolution and growth. Bitcoin and Ethereum have set the stage as pioneers, leading the market in terms of adoption and technological innovation. However, altcoins like XRP have carved out niches by addressing specific use cases, such as facilitating international transactions more efficiently than traditional methods.

The emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has further diversified the crypto landscape. These developments have introduced new opportunities and complexities, prompting investors to seek assets like XRP that offer both utility and growth potential. The integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial systems continues to accelerate, with financial institutions increasingly exploring blockchain technology for its potential to enhance transparency and efficiency.

However, the burgeoning interest in cryptocurrencies also invites scrutiny from governments and regulatory bodies worldwide. Policies aiming to regulate the sector can have profound impacts on market performance. For instance, initiatives to introduce central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) might offer competition to established cryptocurrencies, influencing investor behavior and potentially shifting the balance of power within the market.

In light of these factors, the potential for XRP’s price to break out of its current triangular pattern holds significant implications. A successful breach above the $2.20 resistance could act as a catalyst, driving the price higher and attracting renewed attention from both retail and institutional investors. Conversely, failure to break through could lead to a consolidation phase, with XRP maintaining its current range until the emergence of a new market driver.

The path forward for XRP will likely be shaped by a combination of technical, fundamental, and regulatory influences. As the cryptocurrency market continues to mature, participants will need to navigate an increasingly complex landscape, balancing the allure of substantial returns with the realities of market risks.

Overall, XRP’s current price pattern is a microcosm of the broader crypto market’s dynamics—marked by opportunity and uncertainty. Investors and analysts alike will be watching closely, as the outcome of this triangle pattern could set the stage for XRP’s next major move in the ever-volatile world of digital currencies.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently took to the X social media network to advocate for stronger cryptography standards. 

Buterin has calculated that Bitcoin's cumulative proof-of-work (the sum of all computational effort expended on mining) stands at roughly 2^96 hashes based on recent difficulty data. This marks a significant computational milestone equivalent to 96 bits of security.

Buterin has credited Ethereum researcher Justin Drake for advocating 128-bit security levels (as seen in proposals like BLS12-381 curves and the Lean Ethereum roadmap). This would make it possible to future-proof against growing hash power.

HOT Stories

Staying ahead Bitcoin secures itself via the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm, which secures the network by requiring miners to perform billions of SHA-256 hashes to find valid blocks. 

The cumulative PoW represents the total "energy barrier" an attacker would need to overcome to rewrite history.

You Might Also Like

Reaching 2^96 total hashes means Bitcoin's chain is now protected by the equivalent of ~96 bits of brute-force security. This, of course, is an enormous amount of real-world computation.

Buterin has used this specific milestone to argue that cryptographic primitives across the industry should target at least ~128-bit security levels. In such a way, they would be able to stay comfortably ahead of growing computational power. 

Many older crypto systems effectively provide only ~128 bits of security against certain attacks, which could make them potentially vulnerable. 

Key takeaways:

The Federal Reserve’s move away from quantitative tightening and rate cuts creates liquidity, making fixed-income assets less attractive.

Surging tech credit risks, as evidenced by high Oracle debt protection costs, prompt investors to seek alternative, scarcer assets like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell 4% on Friday to a low of $88,140, extending its decline to 19% since November. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is now less than 1% from its all-time high. This sharp divergence may soon close with a strong upside move for Bitcoin, fueled by a major shift in central bank policy and growing credit stress.

This perfect storm has the potential to propel Bitcoin to the psychologically critical $100,000 barrier before the year concludes.

Fixed income’s fading appeal and tech credit scare could fuel Bitcoin rallyThe most critical factor is the Federal Reserve’s pivot from quantitative tightening, a process of draining liquidity from the financial system by allowing the maturity of Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities without reinvesting the proceeds. The Fed officially halted this program on Dec. 1.

Total assets of the Federal Reserve, USD. Source: TradingViewOver the last six months, the Fed's balance sheet contracted by $136 billion, removing a significant amount of cash. The market is aggressively anticipating the next phase based on lower interest rates. According to CME FedWatch Tool data, bond futures assign an 87% probability to a rate cut at the upcoming Dec. 10 Fed meeting, with expectations fully pricing in three cuts by September 2026.

US Money Market fund assets, USD trillion. Source: BloombergLower interest rates and increasing systemic liquidity fundamentally erode the demand for fixed-income assets. As the Fed cuts rates, the returns on new bond issuances also decline, making them less attractive to institutional funds. According to Bloomberg, there is now a record-high $8 trillion in US money-market funds.

Credit Default Swaps for Oracle’s debt. Source: BloombergThe potential capital rotation is further incentivized by structural risks emerging in the equity markets, especially in the tech sector. The cost of protecting Oracle’s (ORCL US) debt against default using Credit Default Swaps has surged to its highest level since 2009. Oracle had $105 billion of debt, including leases, as of the end of August.

Oracle is counting on hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues from OpenAI, according to Bloomberg. The company is the largest debt issuer outside of the banking industry in the Bloomberg US Corporate Bond Index. “Investors are becoming increasingly concerned about how much more supply may be on the horizon,” according to a Citigroup credit strategy report.

Bank of America says steady Fed rates increase economic slowdown oddsInvestors fear this high-stakes push, which includes the US Donald Trump administration’s Genesis Mission, a national initiative aimed at doubling US scientific productivity through the use of AI and nuclear energy. The surge in demand for debt protection signals extreme market unease regarding the immense debt-fueled spending, which may not yield adequate returns.

Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett argued that if the Fed sends a message of steady interest rates, the odds of a wider economic slowdown significantly increase. This uncertainty, combined with a desire for growth less dependent on stimulus, reinforces the appeal of Bitcoin's scarcity as institutional capital looks to de-risk its traditional tech exposures.

The Fed’s official end to its liquidity drain program and the market’s aggressive pricing of interest rate cuts provide a monumental tailwind. With tech credit risks surging due to massive AI-related debt, capital is structurally primed to rotate into scarce assets. This convergence establishes a clear path for BTC to breach the $100,000 milestone over the next couple of months.

Bitcoin [BTC] has staged an impressive recovery, with the asset continuing to hover above the $90,000 level on the chart.

At press time, BTC was trading at approximately $92,536, after failing to overcome the $93,000 resistance level. Recent developments suggest that another rally could be approaching and that a broader recovery may already be underway.

Miner activity gives the first hint
Miners are signaling that a potential Bitcoin rally remains on the horizon.

Previously, this same group contributed to the recent price decline when the 30‑day Mean Hash Rate crossed below both the 60‑day and 100‑day averages.

In simpler terms, this shift often reflects reduced miner activity and lower exposure to Bitcoin. Historically, such movements have weighed negatively on price action.

However, the pattern has now changed, as confidence appears to be returning among miners, based on recent shifts in their Bitcoin reserves.

Source: CryptoQuant

Miner Bitcoin reserves provide clear insight into what this group is doing with its holdings. A rising reserve suggests lower selling pressure, which in turn reduces the amount of Bitcoin in circulation and strengthens the broader bullish outlook.

Between the 26th of November and the 5th of December, miner reserves have climbed to a new high of approximately 1.8 million BTC.

Other factors in play
Miners were not the only participants selling Bitcoin. Other market participants also offloaded holdings, adding to overall selling pressure.

Bitcoin’s active supply, which represents the circulating amount of BTC, surged as both long-term and short-term holders continued to sell their assets. This period also coincided with widespread capitulation.

Alphratal, an on-chain analytics platform, noted that much of this selling was forced and lacked strong technical justification.

Source: Alphractal

Interestingly, historical data shows that when rising active supply, a plunging hash rate, and forced selling converge, it often marks a favorable turning point for Bitcoin.

In 2021, when these patterns aligned, the asset formed its market bottom and went on to experience a sustained rally.

Bitcoin now appears to be moving through a similar phase, having rebounded from the $82,000 region to its current level. This move points to renewed capital inflows and growing demand.

Pressure ahead
Bitcoin’s continued rally will depend heavily on its ability to overcome the strong selling pressure at current levels.

This pressure is concentrated at the liquidity cluster between $93,000 and $95,000, an area dominated by sell orders from traders betting on a Bitcoin pullback.

Source: CoinGlass

Failure to break through this supply zone could push the asset lower again, potentially sending the asset back below the $90,000 mark. However, if bullish momentum persists, Bitcoin could be set for a significant breakout.

For now, historical patterns and growing miner reserves remain key indicators supporting the case for a potential rebound.

Final Thoughts

Miner activity positions Bitcoin for a potential price surge as sentiment continues to turn positive.
Bitcoin’s supply dynamics and growing reserves add to the overall bullish outlook across the market.

Today, the XRP price has reached a low of $2.00.

XRP long-term analysis: bearish

Since November 24, the price of XRP has remained below the 21-day moving average. Following the price drop on October 10, as Coinidol.com reported, the price has stabilised above the $1.80 support and below the 21-day SMA barrier. The cryptocurrency has repeatedly broken above the 21-day SMA, but buyers have been unable to sustain bullish momentum above this level.

Now, if the current support is breached, bearish momentum is likely to continue towards the low of $1.82. Currently, XRP is around $2.07.

XRP price indicator analysis

The XRP moving average lines are positioned above the price bars. XRP declines each time it is pushed back by the 21-day SMA barrier. Doji candlesticks have formed, leading to price consolidation. On the 4-hour chart, the price bars are below the horizontal moving average lines, indicating a downtrend.

Technical indicators:

Key resistance levels – $2.80 and $3.00

Key support levels – $1.80 and $1.60

What is the next direction for XRP?

XRP is trading above the $1.80 support level and below the $2.30 peak. The price has fallen below the moving average lines, approaching the critical support level of $2.00. On December 1, the price retested the $2.00 support before pulling back. If XRP falls and remains above $2.00, it is expected to continue moving sideways.

In Brief

WisdomTree launches Europe’s first Lido staked Ether ETP (LIST).

ETP offers institutional access to Ethereum staking rewards.

LIST trades on major European exchanges, starting with $50M in assets.

WisdomTree has introduced the WisdomTree Physical Lido Staked Ether ETP (LIST), the first European exchange-traded product (ETP) entirely backed by stETH. The product became available on December 4, 2025, and provides investors with exposure to Ethereum’s staking rewards through a regulated investment vehicle. 

The ETP is now listed on multiple European exchanges, including Deutsche Börse Xetra, SIX Swiss Exchange, and Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam.

A new way to access Ethereum’s yield economy

— WisdomTree in Europe (@WisdomTreeEU) December 4, 2025

LIST holds stETH, a liquid staking token issued by the Lido protocol that represents staked Ethereum. Unlike traditional products, LIST does not rely on a non-staking buffer for creation or redemption, ensuring each unit corresponds directly to the underlying stETH. 

The product launched with approximately $50 million in assets under management and carries a 0.50% management fee.

Lido’s Liquid Staking Gains Institutional Support
The stETH token represents a large portion of staked Ethereum, with Lido accounting for nearly 25% of the total. Lido’s staking protocol enables users to earn staking rewards without facing traditional lock-up periods or withdrawal delays. 

The deep liquidity of stETH, used across decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and supported by centralized venues, makes it a reliable asset for institutional investors.

Kean Gilbert, Head of Institutional Relations at Lido Ecosystem Foundation, emphasized that stETH has become a key asset for institutions to access Ethereum’s staking economy. 

WisdomTree’s introduction of the fully backed ETP builds on Ethereum’s transition to a yield-bearing network and aims to integrate staked Ether into institutional workflows.

As Ethereum continues to evolve, products like the WisdomTree Physical Lido Staked Ether ETP signal growing institutional interest in staking rewards. 

This development also underscores the integration of decentralized finance within regulated financial infrastructure, further bridging the gap between crypto assets and traditional markets.
