Crypto sentiment is showing signs of recovery even as Bitcoin trades below the six-figure mark. After dipping in recent weeks, the market is witnessing improving investor confidence, with the cryptocurrency maintaining levels above $90,000.

Chinese KIMI AI has projected wide December trading ranges for XRP, Solana and Cardano, balancing ETF-driven upside with macro and regulatory risks, and contrasting those outlooks with rising meme coin interest around the Maxi Doge presale.

In a tumultuous week for Hyperliquid (HYPE), the cryptocurrency has managed a slight recovery, trading around $36 after dipping below the $30 threshold. This marks a 2% increase in the past day and a 4% rise over the last week, as investors watch closely to see if this signals a more sustained recovery or merely a temporary bounce.

From net flows to perp funding, the metrics that explain this bull cycle better than “number go up.” Bitcoin (BTC) price movements are now being pulled by off-chain flows and leverage, not just by classic on-chain signals.

Since January 2024, when US spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, the variables that explain why BTC rips or dumps have quietly reshuffled. On-chain metrics now describe how tight the spring is, not whether someone is pulling the trigger.

The trigger sits in ETF flows, perpetual swap funding, stablecoin liquidity, and macro shocks transmitted through institutional portfolios.

Here are the five signals that actually move BTC in the ETF era.

ETF net flows became the primary incremental driverA joint market review by Gemini and Glassnode published in February 2025 estimated that spot ETFs had accumulated more than 515,000 BTC, about 2.4 times the amount miners issued over the same period.

Additionally, a study by Mieszko Mazur and Efstathios Polyzos found that capital flows into US spot ETFs are the single most crucial factor in predicting Bitcoin’s valuation, more explanatory than traditional crypto variables.

The first quarter of 2024 saw roughly $12.1 billion in net inflows into the new US spot ETFs, a period that coincided with BTC breaking its prior all-time high.

In November 2025, net redemptions totaled around $3.7 billion, the heaviest monthly outflows since launch, as BTC slid from above $126,000 to the high-$80,000s.

Glassnode’s November reports frame ETF flow softness as a core reason BTC slipped below key cost-basis bands, with spot order flow “exceptionally sensitive” to relatively small incremental flows in a thin market.

A $500 million IBIT outflow day is now as meaningful as any on-chain whale move.

Perp funding and futures basis reveal the leverage cycleDerivatives data from major venues like BitMEX, Binance, and Bybit show funding clustering around a neutral band in this cycle, with far fewer blow-off extremes than in 2017 or 2021. Yet, spikes still line up with local tops and liquidations.

Funding around 8% to 12% annualized is now in equilibrium. Spikes well above that precede local tops, while profoundly negative funding marks cycle lows and forced unwinds.

A 2025 SSRN paper by Emre Inan found that BTC perpetual funding on Binance and Bybit shows predictability in funding rates rather than price returns. Nevertheless, it helps forecast the next funding print, which adds data to check for the next BTC move.

As ETF flows turned modestly negative in November, Glassnode observed falling futures open interest, cycle-low funding, and sharp repricing of downside options.

Price impulses now look like a joint product of ETF flows and derivatives positioning. When ETF inflows surge but funding stays subdued, that is durable demand.

When funding spikes to over 20% annualized while ETF flows stall, that is leverage chasing momentum, and it unwinds fast.

Stablecoin liquidity remains the native railsStablecoin supply and exchange balances still align neatly with BTC price movements.

Bursts of stablecoin supply growth and rising exchange balances have historically preceded or accompanied major BTC rallies, while flat or negative stablecoin growth has front-run corrections.

CEX.IO’s January 2025 review shows stablecoin supply grew about 59% in 2024 and reached roughly 1% of the US dollar money supply, with transfer volume of $27.6 trillion that year.

Periods of strong ETF inflows paired with expanding stablecoin supply deliver the strongest rallies. When both go net negative, downside moves are faster and deeper.

ETF flows are the front door for institutions, while stablecoins set how much marginal firepower crypto-native traders can bring to a move.

Holder regimes evolved, not disappearedGlassnode and Avenir’s June 2025 report notes that the share of BTC held by long-term holders reached historic highs into early 2025, tightening float, but that a rising “Hot Capital Share” of short-term, price-sensitive supply to roughly 38% has made the market acutely reactive to new flows.

Additionally, Glassnode’s November reports link recent price action to long-term holder (LTH) behavior: BTC slipping below key realized-price bands coincided with LTHs starting to distribute into ETF and CEX demand, weakening support.

21Shares argues that before 2024, you could tell the story of Bitcoin cycles with on-chain cohort and cost-basis metrics alone. After ETFs, you need to combine those with ETF flows, derivatives, and macro.

Watching where supply sits, LTH versus STH, in-profit bands, realized price, is a way to understand how elastic the tape is, then pair that with ETF and derivatives data to explain why the same dollar of buying now moves BTC more or less than before.

Global liquidity and real yields transmit through ETFsThe ETF era has tightened Bitcoin’s link to macro liquidity and real yields. Ainslie Wealth’s September 2025 analysis finds BTC historically responds with a 5x to 9x beta to changes in a composite global liquidity index, versus roughly 2x to 3x for gold and about 1x for equities.

A 2025 macro-finance paper concludes that Bitcoin showed increasing sensitivity to interest-rate expectations and liquidity shocks, behaving more like a high-beta macro asset.

Deutsche Bank analysts argue that the current drawdown is harder to recover from because BTC is now deeply embedded in institutional portfolios via ETFs, and those portfolios are being de-risked amid macro headwinds and higher real yields.

21Shares ties the autumn sell-off to tightening liquidity and fading rate-cut hopes, framing ETF flows as the transmission channel between macro and BTC.

Rate-cut odds, dollar liquidity indices, and US real-yield moves now show up almost immediately in ETF flows, which then feed back into spot and derivatives.

The joint system determines directionThe five signals are gears in the same machine.

ETF flows set the baseline institutional bid. Perp funding reveals whether that bid is being amplified or opposed by leverage. Stablecoin liquidity determines whether crypto-native traders can absorb or front-run institutional flows. Holder regimes set the tape’s elasticity. Macro liquidity governs the availability and cost of capital, which feed into all four.

When all five align, BTC rips. When they misalign, BTC dumps.

The ETF era made Bitcoin more like a traditional risk asset with crypto-specific plumbing. If Bitcoin reaches $3 trillion in market cap, it will be because all five signals fired in the same direction.

Ripple said Thursday (Nov. 27) that its Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin is positioned for further expansion across the Middle East after receiving approval from Abu Dhabi’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).

The FSRA recognized RLUSD as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token, enabling the stablecoin to be used within ADGM, the international financial center of Abu Dhabi, according to a Thursday (Nov. 27) press release.

“ADGM is recognized globally for its robust and forward-thinking regulatory leadership, so this approval reinforces RLUSD as a compliant stablecoin that meets the highest standards of trust, transparency and utility,” Reece Merrick, managing director, Middle East and Africa at Ripple, said in the release. “This recognition is yet another step forward for Ripple’s operations in the region, where we are experiencing surging interest in our products.”

Arvind Ramamurthy, chief market development officer, ADGM, said in the release that the organization congratulated Ripple on the achievement and that Abu Dhabi aims to be a leading hub for “the next generation of financial services and digital finance.”

“We look forward to seeing [Ripple] make use of our robust regulatory framework, designed to support the sustainable growth of innovative firms and ensure the highest international standards of governance and compliance, which continues to set global benchmarks in the digital asset space,” Ramamurthy said.

Ripple will continue to work with partners and regulators to promote the adoption of digital asset technology across the Middle East, Merrick said in the release.

RLUSD has received approval from other regulators in the region, including the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), according to the release.

The stablecoin is issued under a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Limited Purpose Trust Company Charter and has reached a market capitalization of over $1.2 billion, per the release.

“This momentum is helping drive the next wave of secure, compliant digital asset adoption around the world,” Jack McDonald, senior vice president of stablecoins at Ripple, said in the release.

Ripple announced Nov. 5 that it achieved a valuation of $40 billion after securing an investment of $500 million. The company said at the time that it was in the midst of a “record year of growth” and that RLUSD was among the stablecoins being adopted by institutions for use cases such as treasury payments and collateral.

The company said in April that it integrated RLUSD into its cross-border payment solution, Ripple Payments. The stablecoin features built-in global enterprise utility that improves the speed and efficiency of cross-border payments.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Elon Musk’s SpaceX quietly shifted 1,163 BTC, worth about $105.23 million, into new wallets this week, leading to questions over whether the aerospace giant is preparing for a sale or simply reorganizing its reserves. Blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence first spotted the transaction on November 27, noting that the bitcoins were moved from a long-dormant treasury wallet into a new address. 

The move happened just as Bitcoin reclaimed $91,000, and the size of the transaction could be an early signal of selling pressure.

SpaceX’s Bitcoin Transfer: Is This Selling Pressure?
Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that SpaceX executed the $105.23 million transfer in a single large movement. Although the transfer was substantial, a quick look at SpaceX’s treasury behavior in recent months shows that the activity points to internal restructuring rather than liquidation. Still, the scale of the transaction has left investors asking whether this could be an early signal of selling pressure.

Intelligence data shows that the funds were pushed into a new wallet with no immediate ties to exchanges. This difference is important because transfers to exchanges often come with selling activity. 

Instead, the pattern follows an earlier transaction in late October, when SpaceX moved 281 BTC into a newly created address without any subsequent liquidation. Interestingly, this 281 BTC transfer was preceded by a similar transfer of 1,215 BTC worth $133.68 million in October. 

The consistency of these movements suggests a gradual upgrade or redistribution of cold-storage arrangements, something that major corporations tend to do periodically to maintain custody security. According to Lookonchain, the recent transfer of 1,163 BTC to the new address “bc1q4p” was possibly made to Coinbase Prime for custody.

SpaceX’s balance is substantial even after the recent movement, with roughly 6,095 BTC still under its control, an amount currently valued at $555.637 million and large enough to place the company among the biggest private corporate holders of Bitcoin.

Tesla, Musk’s other major enterprise, sits even higher on the leaderboard with 11,509 BTC valued at $1.05 billion, ranking it as the 17th largest publicly traded Bitcoin-holding company in the world.

Could SpaceX’s Movements Still Impact Market Sentiment?
Despite the absence of clear evidence of selling intent, large transfers tied to high-profile companies like SpaceX inevitably influence sentiment. Bitcoin had just regained the $91,000 region at the time of the transfer, and traders immediately questioned whether Musk’s company might be preparing to offload part of its holdings, especially given the company’s sell-off history during the 2022 bear market.

Bitcoin is still stabilizing after a price crash encouraged in part by Owen Gunden, one of the earliest high-profile holders, who unloaded hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of BTC and helped drag the price below $90,000 on November 20. However, the evidence behind SpaceX’s current transfer is still pointing to consolidation rather than liquidation.

In 2025, Digital Assets Treasuries and token buybacks have become increasingly popular among major crypto players. 

Amid this drastic shift in the crypto landscape, Chainlink [LINK] joined the wave, launching LINK Strategic Reserve on the 7th of August 2025. 

The entity was designed to funnel the enterprise demand into its native LINK. 

Chainlink Reserve continues to accumulate LINK
In Q4, the crypto market has experienced massive losses, with holders and treasuries recording a significant decline. 

Chainlink has also been affected, as its Reserve dropped from $8.1 billion to $4 billion over the past two months

Source: Artemis

Despite these losses, the entity remains committed to maintaining the LINK reserve.

Over the past day, Chainlink Reserve purchased about 89,000 LINK worth $1.18 million, and over the last week, it accumulated 170,300 LINK tokens valued at $2.2 million.

Source: Chainlink Reserve

Such sustained accumulation of LINK signals strong confidence in the tokens’ prospects. 

Even more importantly, the Reserve helps reduce the circulating supply, reducing potential sell pressure and positioning LINK for further gains. 

Demand remains steady across the market
Besides, as the team continues to accumulate LINK, investors across the market have taken the opportunity to pile in.

According to CryptoQuant’s data, buyers have dominated the market over the past six days. As such, Spot Taker CVD showed buyer dominance, the past week reflecting strong demand. 

Source: CryptoQuant

When this metric shows buyer dominance, it suggests traders who buy at ask are dominating and willing to pay more to open positions. This shows actual, organic demand for Chainlink, not leverage-driven activity.

For that reason, Chainlink Spot Netflow has remained largely negative the past week. At press time, Netflow was -$578k, a drop from -$2.88 million the previous day, a clear sign of aggressive spot accumulation.

Source: CoinGlass

What’s next for LINK?
Chainlink has traded within a mini ascending channel since bouncing back from $11 drop, a week ago, hitting a high of $13.5.

At press time, LINK was trading at $13.4, up 0.46% on the daily charts and 11.3% on the weekly charts, signaling rising seller strength.

In fact, the altcoin’s Stochastic RSI surged to 97, hitting overbought territory. When this indicator hits such elevated levels, it suggests buyers have total control of the market.

However, such levels signal trend strength but also warn of looming volatility. Therefore, if buyers continue to pile up, LINK could breach $15 and target $16.1.

Conversely, if downside volatility rises and sellers enter the market, LINK’s Parabolic SAR will act as support at $11.94.

Final Thoughts

Chainlink Reserve adds 89k LINK, worth $1.18 million, bringing total holdings to 973,752k tokens, worth $12.9 million. 
LINK trading within a tight margin, but demand remains steady, positioning LINK to hit $15 potentially.

Bitcoin (BTC) price has recorded heightened volatility on Friday fueled by the CME Group outage. The flagship coin surged as much as $93k before dropping to reach a daily low of around $90.2k.

Bitcoin Price Eyes $100k in December Fueled By Robust Fundamentals According to the BTIG firm, the Bitcoin price is well-positioned to rebound toward $100k in December. The firm noted that BTC price typically bottoms around November 26 and strengthens into year-end.

The firm noted that the Bitcoin price is likely to strengthen further in the next few weeks after hitting oversold levels. Moreover, Bitcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped to an oversold level last week following the extreme selloff.

Institutional Buying Pressure Supports Bullish ThesisBTC price is well-positioned to continue in a bullish outlook in the near future fueled by the renewed demand from institutional investors.

CoinShares has abruptly withdrawn registration filings for its XRP, Solana-staking, and Litecoin ETFs, yanking three altcoin products just as it gears up for a highly anticipated Nasdaq listing through a $1.2 billion SPAC deal.

Bolivia has taken a major step toward integrating digital assets into its financial system by allowing banks to offer stablecoin-related services, including custody, savings accounts, and payment options tied to assets such as USDT. The move marks a significant policy shift in a country where demand for dollar-pegged digital currencies has surged due to economic pressure and limited access to physical US dollars.

Analysts expected more Solana ETFs to go live in 2025, as investors chase yield-bearing opportunities through staking and network validation.

Asset manager CoinShares withdrew its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) application for a staked Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Friday.

The structuring deal and asset purchase behind the proposed fund were never completed, according to the SEC filing, which states:

“The Registration Statement sought to register shares to be issued in connection with a transaction that was ultimately not effectuated. No shares were sold, or will be sold, pursuant to the above-mentioned Registration Statement.”The first staked Solana (SOL) ETF, issued by REX-Osprey, debuted in the United States in June, followed by investment company Bitwise’s staked SOL ETF in October.

Net inflows into Solana ETFs since Nov. 10. Source: CoinGlassBitwise’s ETF launched with nearly $223 million in assets on its first day of trading, managing to rack up about half the value accrued in the REX-Osprey ETF, which had been trading for months at that point, according to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

Despite the launch of staked Solana ETFs and investor demand for these products, the price of SOL has not kept pace and has been in a downtrend since its high of over $250 per coin in September.  

SOL ETFs drop to much fanfare, but SOL’s price remains depressedSolana ETFs attracted over $369 million in capital flows during November, as investors chased the yield-bearing opportunities of staked SOL investment vehicles advertising 5-7% staking rewards.

The Solana ETFs bucked the trend exhibited by BTC and Ether (ETH) ETFs that experienced record outflows during October and November by clocking multiday inflow streaks, even as crypto prices were collapsing.

Analysts previously forecasted SOL reaching as high as $400 due to capital inflows from ETFs. Still, price projections have been revised down since October, with some analysts now saying that SOL faces headwinds in reclaiming $150.

The token’s meteoric rise in January was attributed to the launch of the Official Trump memecoin on the network, fueling memecoins trading on Solana.

The rush toward the XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has intensified as new institutional funds move closer to launch. Early data and analysts’ commentary point to a rapidly expanding ETF landscape that could significantly tilt the market toward cryptocurrency. With multiple XRP ETFs now live and more still set to launch, the market narrative is shifting towards major inflows and accelerating demand.

Over 12 XRP ETFs Still Awaiting Launch
Popular crypto analyst JackTheRippler recently highlighted that more than a dozen XRP ETFs are still lined up for launch, reinforcing expectations that institutional interest in the cryptocurrency is still expanding rapidly. Currently, XRP is already dominating the ETF market, with its inflows surpassing those of Solana and Dogecoin. 

Among the investment products still awaiting launch is the 21Shares Core XRP Trust ETF, which is expected to go live this month if final regulatory approvals align. WisdomTree also has an XRP ETF pending as part of its plan to offer a range of digital asset funds. CoinShares is in a similar position, with its XRP ETF application still under review. 

While more issuers are looking forward to a confirmation, a few have already made their market debut. The Bitwise Spot XRP ETF went live on November 20 and quickly drew attention as demand for its spot product dramatically rose. Canary Capital’s XRP ETF launched earlier on November 13, setting a historic record of $58 million on the first day of trading. 

The market expanded further when Grayscale and Franklin Templeton rolled out their XRP ETFs on November 24. Moreover, REX Osprey’s product, which launched in September 2025, was the first-ever XRP ETF approved in the US. 

With over 12 XRP ETFs still unreleased, JackTheRippler predicts that the market could soon see massive adoption. He also expects the complete launch of all XRP ETFs and the potential surge in demand and inflows that could follow to be incredibly bullish for the cryptocurrency’s price. 

The Effect Of ETFs On XRP’s Supply
JackTheRippler has also revealed in a post on X that the combined XRP ETF inflows are already approaching $1 billion within the first month of activity. Current data from SoSoValue shows inflows have reached approximately $643.9 million in just 10 days, indicating that demand has surged as rapidly as many anticipated. Should inflows continue at their present momentum, XRP ETFs could reach the $1 billion milestone within weeks. 

As more ETFs rapidly accumulate XRP to back their products, the available circulating supply on exchanges is tightening. JackTheRippler believes that if this continues, it could trigger a supply shock for XRP. Typically, when a shock like this occurs, it puts upward pressure on prices as demand outpaces the number of tokens available for trading, potentially leading to a rally.

MegaETH has committed to reimbursing all funds contributed to its Pre-Deposit Bridge, a move aimed at addressing the disarray from its ill-fated pre-launch strategy. Originally designed to secure collateral for USDm, MegaETH's native stablecoin, the venture faced significant challenges that strained its operational capabilities.

The Bitcoin price has recently stabilized above the $90,000 mark, sparking renewed optimism among bullish investors. Analysts at BTIG have suggested that this rebound could propel Bitcoin towards its ambitious target of $100,000. 

Bitcoin Price Positioned For ‘Reflex Rally’
Jonathan Krinsky, an analyst at BTIG, expressed confidence that the Bitcoin price is positioned for a continued “reflex rally,” potentially reaching $100,000 in the short-term. 

Historical data indicates that Bitcoin typically reaches a bottom around November 26, gaining momentum as the year comes to a close. This seasonal pattern further bolsters the prospects for the cryptocurrency in the coming weeks.

Another focal point for BTIG is Strategy (previously MicroStrategy), which the analyst views as a candidate for a mean reversion trade. The firm maintains a buy rating on MicroStrategy with a price target set at $630.

The analyst also highlighted that the week of Thanksgiving often aligns with momentum resets for digital assets, reinforcing expectations for a tactical upward movement into December.

Reversion Ahead To $50,000
Adding to the optimistic outlook, market analyst Rekt Capital recently mentioned that if the Bitcoin price can reclaim its position above the $94,180 mark, it would flip the 2025 yearly candle into a green one, substantiating theories of a potential rally for the leading cryptocurrency in the waning days of the year. 

However, Bitcoin must navigate certain hurdles to sustain this momentum. Rekt noted that for Bitcoin to build on its current prospects and approach the Macro downtrend line, it would require a weekly close above approximately $93,500, turning that level into support, similar to patterns observed in previous green cycles.

At the same time, Mike McGlone, an analyst at Bloomberg, has voiced concerns on social media regarding the Bitcoin price trajectory for the coming days. 

He suggested that a typical reversion to around $50,000 might be in the books now, emphasizing Bitcoin’s close correlation with the S&P 500. McGlone pointed out that the S&P 500’s 120-day volatility was at its lowest year-end level since 2017, indicating potential headwinds for Bitcoin.

The digital currency TURBO witnessed a remarkable 35% increase in its value today, fueled by technical indicators and significant trading activity. This notable price surge has piqued the interest of investors and analysts alike, as the coin's trading volume soared to an impressive $8.7 billion.

Bitcoin is closing out November on a weak note, marking one of its steepest monthly declines in recent years. But while the market appears to be under pressure, several analysts say the downturn could create a strong setup for early 2026.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital finance, Ethereum is quickly establishing itself as the primary infrastructure for global on-chain capital markets. From tokenized bonds and money market funds to institutional liquidity rails, the world’s capital is beginning to migrate to an ecosystem where transactions are programmable, auditable, and borderless.

Why Is Ethereum Chosen As The Default Choice For Global Rails
The global capital markets are moving on-chain to Ethereum because it is credibly neutral. ETH has never experienced downtime, and it possesses the economic security necessary to support the world’s financial system. Investor and founder of GM42NFT, Captain GM, has stated that ETH is not fast enough to support trading because it wasn’t built for it.

However, the attempts to build a genuinely fast on-chain trading environment have consistently led teams to centralize significant parts of the trading system. This move creates security, reliability, and neutrality concerns for a system designed to be global. These compromises are in direct conflict with the very benefits that ETH provides, and make it the chosen blockchain for global finance.

This is where Raya Network steps in to solve these issues at the core. Raya is delivering a decentralized exchange (DEX) with institutional-grade execution speed and Ethereum-level security. It’s a platform that is as fast as TradFi and remains simultaneously secure, reliable, and credibly neutral as exactly DeFi should be. “Fast is easy, decentralized is hard, and it’s only Reya that does both,” Captain GM noted.

Analyst Alucard mentioned that the Raya network has become one of the few projects that genuinely solves the speed and security problem. The sub-millisecond execution speeds, trades are fully verified on ETH, and there’s no dependence on a single sequencer. This is an engineered combination designed for real progress in the space.

However, over 45% of the token supply is allocated to the community. Reya, combined with the ETH buyback mechanism, creates an ecosystem that’s aligned both technically and economically. They’re building something fast and secure, and because of that, Reya sits in a different category.

Why Reya’s Design Feels More Like A New Standard Than Another DEX
A trader and ambassador of Somnia, Onur, has also explained that his experience with Reya feels like a full redesign of on-chain execution rather than a small improvement. It offers sub-millisecond fills, unified margin, Ethereum security with ZK settlement, and smooth flow through EigenDA.

According to Onur, the peer-to-pool model keeps trades consistent, efficient, and free from bottlenecks or hidden edges. As a result of this approach, Reya isn’t just another venue anymore, and it’s actively becoming the new execution standard for DeFi.

As of November 2025, Dogecoin (DOGE) has shown resilience by bouncing back from recent lows, stabilizing at a critical support level of $0.07. This development has sparked optimism among traders and investors who are now speculating whether this recovery could signal a broader trend reversal.
