Market Signal Briefing

Ethena’s synthetic-dollar stablecoin USDe saw one of its sharpest monthly contractions yet, while fiat-backed stablecoins including USDT, USDC and PYUSD attracted billions in inflows. 

CoinGecko data showed that Ethena’s USDe stablecoin fell from a market capitalization of $9.3 billion on Nov. 1 to $7.1 billion on Nov. 30. The token saw about $2.2 billion in redemptions, marking a 24% decline in supply in November. 

Ethena’s USDe is a synthetic stablecoin that maintains its dollar peg through trading strategies with crypto and futures contracts rather than holding actual dollars. USDe outflows mean that users are either selling USDe on the open market, withdrawing from pools or unwinding their positions on decentralized applications (DApps).

At the time of writing, CoinGecko data shows that the overall stablecoin market cap is at $311 billion. The market remains dominated by US dollar stablecoins, capturing $303 billion of the sector’s total valuation.

Source: CoinGeckoUSDe outflows follow October depegUSDe’s November contraction comes weeks after the synthetic stablecoin suffered a depegging event on the crypto exchange Binance. At the time, USDe briefly plunged to $0.65 on the exchange. 

Ethena founder Guy Young said that the drop was caused by a Binance-specific oracle issue and not a problem with USDe’s underlying collateral mechanism that backs the asset. 

Young said that the USDe token’s minting and redemption functions operated “perfectly” during the incident, with about 2 billion tokens redeemed across decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. 

On Oct. 9, USDe market cap hovered at $14.8 billion, making it the third-largest stablecoin at the time. Since then, it has lost over 53% of its market capitalization. 

At the time of writing, CoinGecko data shows that USDe has a total valuation of $6.9 billion, dropping it to the fourth spot in the stablecoin market cap rankings. 

Fiat-backed stablecoins increased by $3.2 billion in NovemberWhile the synthetic-dollar stablecoin struggled during the month, fiat-backed stablecoins recorded modest but steady gains over the same time period. 

Tether’s USDt (USDT) saw a $1.3 billion increase to $184.6 billion, while Circle’s USDC (USDC) climbed to $76.5 billion, adding roughly $600 million to its supply. 

PayPal USD (PYUSD) posted the strongest growth among the major dollar-pegged stablecoins, jumping from $2.8 billion to $3.8 billion in November. This marks 1 billion inflow for the month, a 35% month-on-month growth. 

DefiLlama data showed that the PayPal PYUSD stablecoin expanded by over 216% since September, when it had a market cap of $1.2 billion. This represents a $2.6 billion increase in just three months. 

Source: DefiLlamaRipple’s (RLUSD) stablecoin, which breached a market capitalization of $1 billion for the first time in November, continued its growth throughout the month.

According to CoinGecko, RLUSD went from a $960 million market cap on Nov. 1 to a market cap of $1.26 billion on Nov. 30, marking a $300 million increase.

Bitcoin jumped back above key levels on Wednesday, with prices climbing past $93,000 after dipping to $84,400 earlier this month.

The move followed a sharp sell-off that removed about $8,000 from the price late over the weekend, and traders pushed the coin to a 24-hour peak of $93,910 on Coingecko.

Bitcoin Climbs Above Key Levels
According to MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe, regaining ground above $93,000 is important for momentum. He said that if the price holds and breaks higher, a run toward $100,000 becomes more likely.

Other analysts echoed the call: Nick Ruck of LVRG Research pointed to macro factors and fresh ETF flows as drivers that could help Bitcoin test six figures in the coming months.

This is what you’d want to see. $BTC coming back up again, after a weird move down on the 1st of this month.

Now, again, breaking the $92K area is crucial.

If that breaks, then I’m sure we’ll start to see a new all-time high and a test at $100K.

ETF Activity And Market Moves
Reports have disclosed that ETF-related trading helped lift the market. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded over $1.8 billion in volume within two hours after Vanguard reversed a previous stance, and total spot Bitcoin ETF volume topped $5.1 billion on the day.

Market stats showed the broader crypto capitalization rose close to 7% to $3.13 trillion, with BTC dominance climbing to nearly 60%. Bitcoin itself jumped by about 8% after the US market opened, giving larger markets a clear lift.

Support Zone Holds Focus
Analysts had been watching the $86,000 to $88,000 band as a critical area of support. Based on reports from active market watchers, that range had been tested dozens of times in recent months and holding above it signaled reduced selling pressure. One analyst argued that a break below would likely lead some big players to change tack, moving from buying to selling behavior.

Liquidations And Net Inflows Changed The Day
Other market observers reported heavy turnover in derivatives and spot markets: over $360 billion in short positions were liquidated, while more than $160 billion was reportedly added back into crypto markets within a 24-hour span. Those figures, if accurate, helped explain the speed of the rebound and the large single-day gains.

What Comes Next For Prices
Short-term traders will watch how Bitcoin behaves around $92,000 and whether it can hold above the $86,000–$88,000 floor. Some commentators warned that sudden ETF-driven demand can cause sharp spikes that may not last.

Others pointed to possible policy shifts, such as renewed talk of US interest-rate cuts, as reasons why money might flow into major crypto assets in the months ahead.

For now, prices sit a little above $92,700 at the time of writing. The market is clearly volatile. Investors and traders will likely need to balance the bullish signs against the risk that a fresh round of selling could wipe gains quickly.

Bitcoin trades near $92,900, testing key $93K resistance; analysts eye $105K target if breakout confirms, with $88K–$90K as support.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at around $93,000 at press time with a 24-hour trading volume of $91.2 billion. The asset is up 7% over the last day and 6% over the past week.

After dropping below $84,000 earlier in the week, BTC reversed strongly and is now testing a key resistance area around $93,000.

Resistance Near $93,000 in Focus
BTC is currently retesting the neckline of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the 3-hour chart. This level — between $92,000 and $93,000 — is being watched by analysts, including Crypto Patel, who said:

“If this $BTC breakout plays out, we’re eyeing $105K–$107K next.”

This type of chart setup often suggests a possible trend reversal. If the price breaks and holds above the neckline, the projected move points to a target in the $105,000 to $107,000 range. That said, the breakout is not confirmed yet. The price action around the neckline will likely decide the next direction.

Furthermore, analyst Michaël van de Poppe commented,

“If $92K is lost, we’ll probably liquidate some longs and have a relatively harsh drop.”

He added that a move back to the $88,000–$90,000 range would still fit the current trend. That zone has acted as support in the past and lines up with earlier consolidation.

The lower boundary of the pattern is near $82,400. If the price falls below this level, the setup would likely fail. Until then, traders expect some volatility while BTC hovers near resistance.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that BTC has made a higher high and a higher low.

“Price did now make a higher high and higher low, so technically the market structure is back to bullish on this timeframe,” he said.

He also pointed to $97,000–$98,000 as a possible short-term target if momentum continues. Meanwhile, data from Glassnode shows short-liquidation clusters forming, which can add buying pressure during upward moves.

In addition, signs of capitulation and seller exhaustion are increasing. CryptoPotato reported that Bitcoin may be near the bottom of the current cycle, based on recent market behavior. These conditions often appear near turning points, though timing remains uncertain. Large buybacks and short squeezes have added to recent upside momentum.

The products offer investors direct access to rapidly expanding DeFi ecosystems through familiar, regulated financial rails.

“Ethena and Morpho represent two of the most important advances in on-chain financial infrastructure – one tackling the global dollar market and the other redefining decentralized credit,” said Mandy Chiu, Global Head of Product Development at 21shares.

This comes after 21Shares previously announced the cross-listing of six additional ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm. These include 21shares Aave ETP (AAVE), Crypto Basket Index ETP (HODL), Cardano ETP (AADA), Chainlink ETP (LINK), Polkadot ETP (ADOT), and Crypto Basket 10 Core ETP (HODLX).

ENA Surges as Adoption Accelerates
Ethena’s native token, ENA, saw a massive 18% price surge and claimed a daily high of $0.2802. The token currently trades at $0.2783 with the rally pushing the market cap to $2 billion while trading volume nearly doubled to $367 million.

On the other hand, Ethena Labs described November as a period of intense expansion with ENA listed on new platforms. The project discussed broader oracle transparency, integrations with major partners, and wider adoption of USDe stablecoin.

Here's what happened @ethena_labs in November:

Despite the latest price jump, ENA trades far below its peak of $1.52.

MORPHO Turns Bullish
Meanwhile, Morpho token climbed 7% over the past day, reaching a high of $1.50 before trading near $1.45. Although still down significantly from its peak of $4.17, the debut of the MORPH ETP makes exposure to Morpho more accessible for traditional investors.

Morpho Blue, the protocol’s foundation, enables custom, risk-isolated credit markets that already support billions in deposits and active loans. Co-founder Merlin Egalite recently said that for DeFi to function as a neutral financial backbone, it must rely on immutable, non-custodial systems.

Additional Financing Closes NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Strategy , the world's biggest corporate stockpiler of bitcoin, is engaging with MSCI about a decision that could potentially exclude it from its indices, its chairman Michael Saylor told Reuters on Wednesday.

Berkshire Hathaway's record cash reserves make it a compelling counterweight to today's AI spending boom.

Shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B 0.37%) (BRK.A 0.14%) sit in stark contrast to the market's AI (artificial intelligence) enthusiasm. Companies across the tech sector are investing heavily in new data centers and specialized chips, yet Berkshire is letting cash accumulate instead of chasing that trend. The conglomerate's posture has become even more notable as spending on AI infrastructure climbs rapidly and investors debate the long-term return potential of this massive spending.

Berkshire, therefore, offers investors an attractively valued alternative to the AI boom. Not only is the company rich with cash, leaving it ready to deploy it opportunistically if the market takes a hit, but the underlying business is doing very well without any need for huge AI investments.

Here's a closer look at why Berkshire Hathaway is by top pick and biggest holding going into 2026.

Warren Buffett. Image source: Motley Fool.

Lots of cash and impressive performance
By the end of the third quarter of 2025, Berkshire held about $382 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term U.S. Treasuries, up from about $334 billion at the end of 2024. That record balance reflects Berkshire's continued net selling of equities, steady results from non-insurance subsidiaries, good performance from its insurance operations, and a reluctance to pursue deals at elevated prices.

In addition to raising funds to give Abel optionality as he takes the helm at the end of this year, Berkshire's core business is firing on all cylinders. Its operating earnings in the third quarter of 2025 were $13.5 billion -- up about 34% year over year.

The company's defensive posture is a byproduct of an overhyped market.

"Our financial condition continues to hold a lot more in cash and treasuries than I would like," Warren Buffett said at the 2025 annual meeting. He went on to explain that this is simply a function "of when opportunities occur." He emphasized that major buying opportunities appear only occasionally, suggesting Berkshire is waiting for attractively priced deals before committing large amounts of capital.

Berkshire's contrasting move to hoard cash this year while many others are spending it aggressively has shaped the stock's relative performance. Shares have underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025 -- and they have lagged the stock prices of many of the market's hottest AI investments.

Berkshire's leadership transition is a catalyst
Further, Berkshire CEO and chairman Warren Buffett plans to step down as CEO at the end of 2025, with Greg Abel set to assume the chief executive role while Buffett remains a director and major shareholder.

While many might conclude that this is bad news for Berkshire, given Buffett's extraordinary reputation, I actually believe it's a catalyst for the business and -- longer-term -- the stock.

The leadership transition comes at a moment when Berkshire's liquidity and optionality are as high as they have ever been, giving Abel a blank canvas that is big enough for him to completely transform the company into a higher-performing organization -- a key reason the stock remains my largest holding heading into 2026.

The CEO transition comes at an important time. Buffett has said he expects Berkshire's long-term prospects to be even better under Abel's leadership and that he plans to keep his entire Berkshire stake. Abel will inherit a company with vast liquidity, an established culture, and significant room to act if markets become dislocated.

That optionality is one of Berkshire's defining advantages heading into 2026. With nearly $400 billion in liquidity and insurance float, the company could capitalize on opportunities if AI spending leads to overcapacity, balance-sheet strain, or a market sell-off triggered by the bursting of a potential AI bubble.

Even if dramatic opportunities do not emerge soon, there are other ways Berkshire can reward shareholders.

First and foremost, Berkshire could always ramp up share repurchases. With as much cash as Berkshire has, it could dramatically reduce its share count if it wanted to.

Additionally, Berkshire's interest income on its cash and Treasury holdings should remain meaningful even if rates move lower.

Finally, the company could always initiative a dividend or pay a special dividend if its cash hoard becomes too excessive. My guess, however, is that most shareholders would rather see Berkshire hold onto its cash and wait for an opportunity to deploy it -- even if it takes a very long time. The company has a strong track record of deploying capital in this manner, and it is likely to continue doing so effectively in the future.

Of course, it's worth noting that Wall Street doesn't seem to expect a lot from Berkshire. The bar is low, with the stock only trading at 1.6 times book value. So, there's not a lot of excitement priced in anyway -- and this is probably the main reason I'm bullish on the stock.

There are risks, of course. A rapid decline in short-term interest rates would reduce income from Berkshire's Treasury holdings, which have been an important contributor to earnings. In addition, the leadership transition introduces execution risk as the company moves from a uniquely skilled investor to more of an operator.

For investors looking to counterbalance AI-linked exposure or to anchor portfolios with a durable compounder, Berkshire stands out as a good option heading into 2026.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) (“Q2” or the “Company”) is pleased to report analytical results from the ongoing 2025 drill program (the “2025 Drill Program”) at the Company’s Cisco Lithium Project (the “Project” or the “Cisco Project”), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.

“Drill hole 44 further showcases the Cisco Project as a globally significant hard rock lithium discovery. The results to date will underpin the inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate, which we expect to announce in the first quarter of 2026, as we continue to advance Cisco,” said Alicia Milne, President and CEO for Q2 Metals. “I am proud and grateful for the tireless efforts of our team which have enabled us to consistently achieve the goals, and milestone targets we publicly set for the Company.”

“The standout result from our drilling to date has clearly been drill hole 44. Not only did hole 44 have extraordinary width and grade but it has significant intervals occurring outside the previously defined bounds of the mineralized zone defined by the Exploration Target (“ET”),” said Neil McCallum, Vice President of Exploration for Q2 Metals. “Given our success at the drill bit to date, we are very excited for subsequent assay results, particularly from holes CS25-063 and CS25-065, which also intercepted significant mineralization outside the ET boundaries and further expand and define Cisco’s already impressive footprint.”

The analytical results reported herein represent 2,200.4 m of drilling over four (4) drill holes completed during the 2025 Drill Program. Pegmatite intervals and analytical results from the current program will be reported as they are received and reviewed.

All intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length and greater than 0.30% Li2O are included in Table 1. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 3 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.

The summary of drill holes CS25-044 to CS25-047 including basic location and dip/azimuth, is detailed below (Table 2).

Table 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco Project (CS25-044 to CS25-047)

The primary focus of the fall and winter drilling campaign is on infill-scale drilling within the main mineralized zone defined by the ET (the “Mineralized Zone”), issued by the Company in July 2025. The Exploration Target estimated a range of potential lithium mineralization at the Mineralized Zone of 215 to 329 million tonnes at a grade ranging from 1.0 to 1.38% Li2O and was based only on the first 40 holes drilled. An Exploration Target is used to provide a conceptual estimate of the potential quantity and grade of a mineral deposit, based on known and additional limited geological evidence. It is an early-stage assessment that will help to guide further exploration, but it is not a mineral resource or mineral reserve and should not be treated as such.

The drill campaign has been designed to support the Company’s objective of delivering an initial inferred Mineral Resource Estimate in the first quarter of 2026. Drilling at the Cisco Project is ongoing, with four (4) drill rigs currently operating on site.

Upcoming Events

Members of the Q2 team are currently attending the Mines & Money Resourcing Tomorrow (Booth D35) conference being held in London, UK from December 2-4, 2025.

Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC Protocols

All drilling was conducted using diamond drill rig with NQ sized core and all drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada’s preparation facility in Val D’Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li2O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.

A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.

ABOUT Q2 METALS CORP. 

Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the Cisco Lithium Project which is located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee, James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. The known mineralized zone at Cisco is just 6.5 km from the Billy Diamond Highway, which leads to the railhead in the Town of Matagami, approximately 150 km to the south.

The Cisco Project has district-scale potential with an initial Exploration Target estimating a range of potential lithium mineralization of 215 to 329 million tonnes at a grade ranging from 1.0 to 1.38% Li2O, based only on the first 40 holes drilled. It is noted that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate and define a Mineral Resource, as defined by NI 43-101. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource. 

The 2025 Exploration Program is ongoing, prioritizing infill drilling towards an initial mineral resource estimate expected in Q1 2026. Expansion and exploration drilling continues at the main zone, which remains open at depth and along strike, as well as at high potential targets identified across the broader 41,253 hectare project area.

The new architecture also strengthens resiliency and automation capabilities, making the network more secure, flexible, and scalable for the long term. This strategic deployment replaces the current infrastructure and helps KPN meet its ambition to maintain the position as the Netherlands’ leading digital service provider.

This program also marks the first brownfield deployment of segment routing over IPv6 (SRv6) at this scale in Europe. By decoupling network control from physical topology, SRv6 enables simplified automation, improved fault handling, and more flexible traffic management – essential for supporting dynamic, cloud-based services, which are increasingly becoming the backbone of modern economies.

“FabriQ is the foundation of KPN’s digital infrastructure. It supports millions of Dutch businesses and users across a range of sectors including manufacturing, commercial real estate and smart building. We are happy to select Nokia as our technology partner. Nokia’s high-performance IP and optical platforms give us the capacity, security and automation we need for today’s services and for the next decade of digital growth,” said Erik Brands, Executive Vice-President, Network, KPN.

“This project marks the next chapter in our longstanding relationship with KPN as we support the company in building one of Europe’s most advanced core and transport networks. By introducing 800G-ready systems, SRv6 capabilities and massive capacity upgrades, KPN is raising the bar for telco infrastructure – whilst doing so with a sharp focus on energy efficiency, service flexibility and long-term resilience,” said Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice-President, Network Infrastructure, Europe, Nokia.

The FabriQ network is designed to seamlessly connect any type of access to any service on any layer, whether to KPN’s own cloud or public cloud providers, with advanced encryption and intelligent failover built in. It will also support a wide range of services such as IP core and peering, metro core, monitoring and lawful intercept, optical core and service edge, enabling business and wholesale customers across the country to benefit from high-capacity connectivity and improved quality of service.

PARIS, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellium SE (NYSE: CSTM) today announced the successful start-up and inauguration of its new finishing lines at its Singen plant in Germany. This milestone marks the completion of the €30 million investment announced in 2024 in partnership with Lotte Infracell, a subsidiary of Lotte Aluminium, to supply high-quality aluminum foilstock for battery applications in Europe.

The project was executed safely, on schedule and on budget. Construction of the new building was completed in April 2025, followed by the installation and commissioning of equipment. In November 2025, the Singen team successfully produced the first coil for qualification with Lotte Infracell, marking the official start of production.

“The start-up of the new finishing lines represents a major achievement for our Singen team and a significant step forward in expanding our production capabilities,” said Matthew Perkins, Business Unit President, Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products. “This investment highlights our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and meeting the evolving needs of our customers across the aluminum industry.”

The new facility features state-of-the-art edge trimming and packing lines, supported by dedicated logistics and buffer areas that optimize production flow and material handling. The line processes dimensions up to 2,000 mm widths and 1.3 mm thicknesses. It can handle aluminum coils for different market segments with high productivity.

The installation of a solar power system is expected to generate approximately 760,000 kWh of renewable energy each year, reducing the site’s carbon footprint. The building is also equipped with a fire protection wall separating it from existing facilities and a sprinkler system covering both production and truck loading areas, reflecting Constellium’s strong focus on safety.

“This new capacity reinforces Constellium’s strategic role in supporting the transition to e-mobility and sustainable energy applications,” stated Bernd Honsel, Plant Director Constellium Rolled Products Singen. “This investment strengthens Singen’s position as a center of excellence for high-performance aluminum products,” he continued.

About Constellium

Constellium (NYSE: CSTM) is a global sector leader that develops innovative, value-added aluminum products for a broad scope of markets and applications, including aerospace, packaging and automotive. Constellium generated $7.3 billion of revenue in 2024.

Livermore, CA, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Samaritan House and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley receive support in time for the Holidays.

As the holiday season approaches, many families in our communities face challenges that make it difficult to put nutritious meals on the table. This is a time when coming together matters most. By supporting local organizations and initiatives, Comcast is helpings families with food, providing needed comfort during the holidays. Most recently, Comcast announced grants of $30,000 to Samaritan House and $30,000 to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.

“When leaders across San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties asked for help with those experiencing food insecurity, we contacted Samaritan House and Second Harvest and let them know we wanted to contribute,” said Zenia Zaveri, Vice President of External Affairs at Comcast California. “At Comcast, we are proud to support the communities in which we live and work, and holidays can be particularly difficult for those in need.”

“Comcast is stepping up at a time when hunger is affecting far too many families in our community. Their gift impacts Second Harvest and its entire partner network of 400 nonprofit organizations, who help us distribute food at more than 900 sites so families can access nutritious meals close to home. Thanks to this support, neighbors can continue to rely on trusted community organizations for the food they need to stay healthy and stable,” said Shobana Gubbi, Chief Philanthropy Officer, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.

Samaritan House CEO Laura Bent described it this way, "We are so grateful for Comcast’s generous support! They saw the need in the community and stepped up, unsolicited, to help local families in need. So many neighbors are struggling, and these funds will go a long way in supporting them and helping them share a joyful holiday season with their loved ones."

Last month, Comcast announced a $15,000 contribution to the San Bruno Firefighters Association for their 2025 Holiday Toy Program and earlier this year a $50,000 to the San Bruno Education Foundation. Over the past three years, Comcast has invested over $130 million in cash and in-kind donations in California.

Summarize this article with:

In 2025, Ethereum experiences a striking paradox: while the market undergoes a historic collapse of 6.4 billion dollars in speculative positions, crypto whales take advantage to accumulate record amounts of ETH. What does this dynamic hide?

In brief

Ethereum suffers a massive loss of 6.4 billion dollars in leverage, causing its price to fall.
Despite the current correction of Ethereum, whales are accumulating record amounts of ETH.
Network upgrades and institutional adoption could prepare Ethereum for a new growth phase.

Ethereum: a loss of 6.4 billion dollars in leverage
Since August 2025, the Ethereum ecosystem has been going through an unprecedented deleveraging phase. Open Interest, a key indicator of speculative activity, has collapsed by 51% on Binance, dropping from 12.6 to 6.2 billion dollars. Platforms like Gate.io and Bybit have followed the same trend, with massive liquidations of overleveraged positions. Result: the ETH price has fallen by 43%, sliding from 4830 to 2800 dollars in a few months.

Open interest falls on Ethereum.
Yet, in this context of widespread decline, an opposite phenomenon is emerging. Whales, those large crypto holders, are accumulating ETH at a frantic pace. In November alone, 394,682 ETH, worth 1.37 billion dollars, were purchased by these actors between 3247 and 3515 dollars. This paradox raises questions: why such accumulation when the market seems in crisis? 

Why do ETH whales buy despite the drop?
Ethereum’s 6.4 billion dollar leverage drop is not a sign of weakness but a necessary market reset. Historically, crypto cycles show that market bottoms form only after a complete cleansing of excessive speculative positions. This deleveraging eliminates excesses, creating a more stable environment less vulnerable to sudden crashes.

Whales, often institutional actors or experienced investors, see this purge as an opportunity… A calculated strategy. Furthermore, upcoming updates like Fusaka promise to improve scalability and reduce fees, thus strengthening the network fundamentals. Moreover, the growing regulatory clarity, such as SEC confirmation that ETH is not a security, reassures investors.

Ethereum: a giant in transition, but still essential
This deleveraging situation and accumulation by the whales could maintain downward pressure on the ETH price in the short term, especially if the 2700 dollar support does not hold. For December 2025, analysts expect stabilization around 2800–3200 dollars, with rebound potential if network upgrades and institutional adoption materialize.

However, the outlook for 2026 is a bit more optimistic and will depend on several factors including: 

Holding the support at 2700–3000 dollars;
The impact of network improvements; 
The evolution of institutional flows. 

If these elements align, Ethereum could enter a new growth phase, potentially towards 4000–5000 dollars.

Does this 6.4 billion dollar leverage drop mark the end of a cycle or the beginning of a new era for Ethereum? Crypto whales, by massively accumulating, seem to bet on the latter. Just like bitcoin, this week is crucial to close out 2025.

In November 2025, Bitcoin experienced a sharp 30% decline, a movement that Grayscale Research deems consistent with past market behaviors, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is far from entering a prolonged bear market. Grayscale, a major player in the cryptocurrency investment sphere, anticipates that Bitcoin could reach new heights by 2026, driven by both market cycles and upcoming technological advancements.

AVAX price prediction shows potential for 13-34% upside to $16-19 range within 30 days, supported by bullish MACD momentum and oversold conditions despite weak trend.

AVAX Price Prediction Summary
• AVAX short-term target (1 week): $15.50 (+9.5%)
• Avalanche medium-term forecast (1 month): $16.00-$19.00 range (+13% to +34%)
• Key level to break for bullish continuation: $15.69 (Upper Bollinger Band)
• Critical support if bearish: $12.54 (immediate support level)

Recent Avalanche Price Predictions from Analysts
The latest AVAX price prediction consensus points toward cautious optimism, with analysts converging on similar medium-term targets despite varying confidence levels. Blockchain.News leads the Avalanche forecast with a $15.50 medium-term target, citing emerging bullish momentum indicators that could trigger a reversal from current bearish trends.

The most ambitious prediction comes from Benzinga, projecting AVAX to reach $55.05 by 2030 based on the platform's Layer-1 blockchain capabilities and growing adoption. However, near-term predictions remain more conservative, with MEXC's $14.83 target representing minimal upside from current levels.

A notable pattern emerges across multiple sources: analysts consistently identify the $16.00-$19.00 range as a realistic medium-term objective. This consensus strengthens the Avalanche forecast, particularly when combined with technical indicators showing oversold conditions and positive MACD histogram readings.

AVAX Technical Analysis: Setting Up for Recovery
Current Avalanche technical analysis reveals a cryptocurrency positioned for potential recovery despite trading 59.76% below its 52-week high of $35.19. The RSI reading of 42.74 indicates AVAX remains in neutral territory, avoiding both overbought and oversold extremes that often precede significant moves.

The MACD histogram's positive reading of 0.1894 represents the most compelling bullish signal in the current setup. This early momentum shift suggests selling pressure may be exhausting, even as the MACD line (-0.9983) remains below its signal line (-1.1877). The histogram's move into positive territory often precedes broader trend reversals.

AVAX's position within the Bollinger Bands at 0.4836 places it slightly below the middle band ($14.21), indicating room for upward movement toward the upper band at $15.69. The 24-hour volume of $73.1 million on Binance provides adequate liquidity to support price movements, though this represents moderate rather than exceptional interest.

Avalanche Price Targets: Bull and Bear Scenarios
Bullish Case for AVAX
The primary AVAX price target focuses on the $16.00-$19.00 range, representing a 13-34% upside from current levels. This Avalanche forecast aligns with multiple resistance levels and moving average reclaims.

Breaking above $15.69 (Upper Bollinger Band) would trigger the first bullish signal, likely targeting the SMA 50 at $16.91. A sustained move above this level could propel AVAX toward the $19.00 psychological resistance, where profit-taking from long-term holders may emerge.

The bullish scenario requires AVAX to maintain support above $14.21 (SMA 20) while building volume on any upward moves. Success depends on broader cryptocurrency market stability and continued institutional interest in Avalanche's ecosystem.

Bearish Risk for Avalanche
Downside risks center on the critical $12.54 support level, which represents both immediate support and the 52-week low proximity. A break below this level could trigger accelerated selling toward $12.00 psychological support.

The bearish case gains strength if AVAX fails to reclaim the SMA 20 at $14.21, particularly with volume confirmation. Extended weakness could target the $11.50-$12.00 range, representing a 15-19% decline from current levels.

Key bearish catalysts include broader market deterioration, regulatory concerns, or technical breakdown below established support levels with sustained selling pressure.

Should You Buy AVAX Now? Entry Strategy
Technical levels suggest a strategic approach for those asking whether to buy or sell AVAX. Conservative buyers should wait for a decisive break above $15.69 (Upper Bollinger Band) with volume confirmation before establishing positions.

Aggressive traders might consider accumulating near current levels around $14.16, using the SMA 20 at $14.21 as immediate resistance. This strategy requires strict risk management with stop-losses below $12.54 to limit downside exposure.

Position sizing should reflect the moderate confidence level of current predictions. Allocating 2-3% of portfolio value allows participation in potential upside while managing downside risk through the established support level.

AVAX Price Prediction Conclusion
The AVAX price prediction indicates moderate bullish potential targeting the $16.00-$19.00 range within 30 days, supported by improving technical momentum despite overall weak trends. Confidence level remains medium due to mixed signals and proximity to support levels.

Key indicators to monitor include MACD line crossing above its signal line, RSI breaking above 50, and sustained volume on any upward moves. Invalidation occurs if AVAX breaks below $12.54 with volume confirmation.

This Avalanche forecast expects initial resistance at $15.69, followed by the critical $16.91 level. Success requires broader cryptocurrency market stability and continued development momentum within the Avalanche ecosystem. Timeline for this prediction spans the next 4-6 weeks, with intermediate checkpoints at weekly closes above key moving averages.

Kevin O’Leary, renowned investor and “Shark Tank” star, highlighted the significance of investing not only in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) but also in the underlying infrastructure that powers them.

‘Mr. Wonderful’ Bets On Crypto Infra FirmsIn an X post, O’Leary said that he likes to “own the infrastructure as well as the assets.”

“If you’re gonna own Bitcoin, back then, why wouldn’t you own the entity that mines Bitcoin?” he stated.

O'Leary, also known as "Mr Wonderful," specifically mentioned Bitzero, a Canadian energy infrastructure company, where he serves as a strategic investor.

“It’s agnostic to who uses its power. You can mine Bitcoin, you can mine Ethereum, or you can build a data center, or build an AI compute. It doesn’t matter,” he stated.

Bitzero, which provides sustainable power generation for data centres to support high-performance computing and mining activities, started trading last month on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Renowned investor Ross Gerber made a thinly veiled jibe at Strategy Inc.'s (NASDAQ:MSTR) model of holding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) on Tuesday, proposing a similar company focused on purchasing and storing gold.

Gerber Proposes Gold-Buying ‘Strategy’Gerber sarcastically pitched opening a public company that buys gold. Investors could then buy shares in this company at a “1.5x premium” to the value of gold it owns, he added, alluding to Strategy shares, which trade at a premium to the firm’s net Bitcoin value.

“You can pay 1.5x the gold I own because the business of buying gold is so special it deserves a premium… or maybe it should be a discount… as this actually costs money and destroys value,” the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management said.

Gerber argued that gold and Bitcoin “are fine as they are,” suggesting that the model of having leveraged exposure is not viable.

See Also: Peter Schiff Says Michael Saylor Strategy-Bitcoin Model Is ‘Fraud’ And MSTR Is ‘Broken’

Saylor’s MSTR Faces CriticismGerber’s concerns mirrored those of economist Peter Schiff, who accused Strategy of operating an unsustainable business model.

Notably, the Michael Saylor-led company announced a $1.44 billion buffer earlier in the week to cover dividends and interest without relying on Bitcoin sales during downturns.

Saylor also admitted that the company could sell its Bitcoin if shares start trading at a discount to underlying BTC holdings. The company currently holds 650,000 BTC at an average price of $74,436.

Jim Cramer Has Something To AddHowever, according to market expert and media personality Jim Cramer, Saylor may be attempting to “engineer a squeeze of a lifetime” by doing the reverse of what he suggests.

Saylor previously claimed that Strategy is “engineered” to endure an 80 to 90% drawdown and continue operating, describing its capital structure as "extremely robust."

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $$92,962.55, up 6.87% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Strategy shares rose 0.31% in after-hours trading to $181.90. The stock closed 5.78% higher at $181.33 during Tuesday’s regular trading session.

The stock maintains a weaker price trend over the short, medium and long terms. How does it compare with other Bitcoin treasury companies, such as American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ:ABTC)? Visit Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings to find out.

As of December 2025, the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) cryptocurrency is navigating a challenging trading environment, hampered by its position below crucial exponential moving averages (EMAs), specifically the 9-day and 20-day indicators. This situation underscores a broader bearish sentiment gripping the market.

Strategy is sitting on nearly $59 billion worth of Bitcoin, but that mountain of crypto might not stay untouched for long.
