Good morning. Welcome to the Citi Global Healthcare Conference. Continuing this morning. Next up, we have Gilead Sciences. And with us today, we're pleased to have Andy Dickinson, CFO. Welcome.
Andrew Dickinson
Chief Financial Officer
Thanks for having us again. Appreciate it.
Geoffrey Meacham
Citigroup Inc., Research Division
Of course. But we start this way. Maybe give a couple of minutes to give some opening remarks, and then we'll go to some questions.
Andrew Dickinson
Chief Financial Officer
Sure. Yes. Maybe 4 things to highlight as we start. One, we've had a terrific 2025 so far. You see that in our third quarter results. We increased our guidance for the year. So we can talk about that specifically, but a great first 3 quarters of the year, carrying a lot of momentum in our business overall.
You see the second thing I would highlight is a really strong durable portfolio, so our base business led by our 2 flagship HIV therapies today, Biktarvy and Descovy are driving significant growth. And then we have a number of launches that are underway and coming. Yeztugo, in particular, a new HIV, which should be a transformational HIV prevention medicine. It's an every 6-month injection and Livdelzi for primary biliary cholangitis, those launches are off to very strong starts. And then we have a number of launches coming.
The third thing I'd highlight is we have the deepest, broadest, strongest portfolio in Gilead's history pipeline, I should say, which means that you should see a steady cadence of additional clinical data that can drive additional product

Kimball Electronics: Great Story, Wrong Entry Point
SummaryKimball Electronics is successfully transitioning from automotive EMS to a high-margin medical CMO model, driving improved profitability and investor optimism.KE's medical segment now accounts for 28% of revenue, with strong growth and strategic investments positioning it as the company's future core business.Despite margin expansion and balance sheet improvements, the stock trades at a significant premium to peers, reflecting unrealistic market optimism.I rate KE as a hold, recommending investors wait for valuation compression before buying, as current pricing overstates near-term prospects. jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images

Salesforce Earnings Are Up Next. 2 Areas to Watch.
International Petroleum Corporation (IPC or the Corporation) (TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm: IPCO) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has approved IPC's notice of intention to renew IPC’s normal course issuer bid (NCIB).
Under the NCIB, IPC is authorized to purchase, through the facilities of the TSX and/or Nasdaq Stockholm, or as otherwise permitted under Canadian securities laws, as and when considered advisable by IPC, up to 6,468,077 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (Common Shares), representing approximately 5.8% of the 112,155,527 Common Shares outstanding as at November 30, 2025 (or 10% of IPC's "public float" (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) of 64,680,771 Common Shares as at November 30, 2025), over a period of twelve months commencing on December 5, 2025 and ending on December 4, 2026, or until such earlier date as the NCIB is completed or terminated by IPC.
The maximum number of Common Shares which can be purchased each day on Nasdaq Stockholm will be 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases. In addition, IPC will be limited to daily purchases of no more than 24,839 Common Shares on the TSX, being 25% of IPC's average daily TSX trading volume of 99,360 Common Shares during the six months ended November 30, 2025 (which excludes purchases of Common Shares on the TSX by IPC under its previous NCIB), subject to certain exceptions for block purchases and other prescribed exemptions available under applicable Canadian securities laws. IPC currently does not hold any Common Shares in treasury.
In connection with the NCIB, IPC has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its designated broker to allow IPC to repurchase Common Shares when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods. Pursuant to the ASPP, IPC may provide standard instructions during non-blackout periods to its designated broker, which instructions may not be varied or suspended during the blackout period. Outside of any blackout periods, Common Shares will be purchased in accordance with management's discretion. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB. The ASPP has been reviewed and pre-cleared by the TSX and may be terminated by IPC or its broker in accordance with its terms or will terminate on the expiry of the NCIB.
Any Common Shares that IPC purchases under the NCIB will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or Nasdaq Stockholm, or as otherwise permitted under Canadian and Swedish securities laws, at the prevailing market price at the time of such purchase and in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm and applicable Canadian and Swedish securities laws, with no maximum monetary amount allocated to the NCIB at this time. The actual number of Common Shares that will be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by IPC, subject to the limits imposed by the TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm and under applicable Canadian and Swedish securities laws. There can be no assurances as to the number of Common Shares that will ultimately be acquired by IPC. Any Common Shares purchased by IPC under the NCIB will be cancelled.
The purpose of the NCIB is to reduce the outstanding share capital of the Corporation. IPC believes that the purchase of Common Shares for cancellation represents an effective use of IPC's capital, is in the best interest of IPC and is an efficient way to return value to IPC's shareholders.
IPC's previous normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 7,465,356 Common Shares, commenced on December 5, 2024 and was fully completed by September 30, 2025. The Common Shares acquired under IPC's previous NCIB were acquired for a weighted average price of CAD 20.10 per Common Share on the TSX. Purchases were made through the facilities of the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm, including pursuant to the previous ASPP.
International Petroleum Corp. (IPC) is an international oil and gas exploration and production company with a high quality portfolio of assets located in Canada, Malaysia and France, providing a solid foundation for organic and inorganic growth. IPC is a member of the Lundin Group of Companies. IPC is incorporated in Canada and IPC’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange under the symbol "IPCO".

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements and information which constitute "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable securities legislation). Such statements and information (together, "forward-looking statements") relate to future events, including the Corporation's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, unless otherwise indicated. IPC does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, forecasts, guidance, budgets, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", “forecast”, "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", "budget" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the commencement of the NCIB; the ability to IPC to acquire Common Shares under the NCIB, including the timing of any such purchases; and the return of value to IPC's shareholders as a result of the NCIB.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by IPC, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the potential impact of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and Canadian governments and that other than the tariffs that have been announced, neither the U.S. nor Canada (i) increases the rate or scope of such tariffs, or imposes new tariffs, on the import of goods from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and/or (ii) imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas; prevailing commodity prices and currency exchange rates; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; interest rates; future well production rates and reserve and contingent resource volumes; operating costs; our ability to maintain our existing credit ratings; our ability to achieve our performance targets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals; the performance of existing wells; the success obtained in drilling new wells; anticipated timing and results of capital expenditures; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future drilling operations; the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and policies in respect of any acquisitions and realize the expected synergies on the anticipated timeline or at all; the benefits of acquisitions; the state of the economy and the exploration and production business in the jurisdictions in which IPC operates and globally; the availability and cost of financing, labour and services; our intention to complete share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid program, including the funding of such share repurchases, existing and future market conditions, including with respect to the price of our common shares, and compliance with respect to applicable limitations under securities laws and regulations and stock exchange policies; and the ability to market crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids successfully.
Although IPC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because IPC can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, resources, production, revenues, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price fluctuations; interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental and climate-related risks; competition; innovation and cybersecurity risks related to our systems, including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; the ability to attract, engage and retain skilled employees; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia and the potential for further conflict in the Middle East, and their potential impact on, among other things, global market conditions; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties, environmental and abandonment regulations.. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Additional information on these and other factors that could affect IPC, or its operations or financial results, are included in IPC’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", “Risks Factors” and "Reserves and Resources Advisory” therein), in the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", “Risks Factors” and "Reserves and Resources Advisory" therein) and other reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities, including previous financial reports, management’s discussion and analysis and material change reports, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website (www.sedarplus.ca) or IPC's website (www.international-petroleum.com).
The addition of the leading accessibility technology for communication design expands Quadient’s capabilities for accessible, compliant, and inclusive customer communications Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a global automation platform powering secure and sustainable business connections, today announced the signing of an agreement to acquire CDP Communications, a long-standing Quadient partner and one of the most innovative companies in document accessibility and automation. This acquisition reinforces Quadient’s commitment to inclusion and accessibility in customer communications and marks a significant step toward achieving the company’s Elevate to 2030 strategic objectives.
More recently, compliance drivers around accessibility, in Europe and North America in particular, are requiring companies to make all digital content – including customer-facing digitized documents such as PDF output – fully compliant from an accessibility standpoint. These new regulations, which come together with greater emphasis on making sure customer communications is part of a greater overall customer experience for all customers, is creating a need for businesses to adopt the types of solutions that CDP delivers.
CDP Communications has built a strong reputation as a pioneer in helping organizations create universally accessible documents, transform complex data streams into communication-ready content, and ensure the secure archival and retrieval of print documents. Its technology is widely used across regulated industries to meet accessibility and compliance standards, ensuring that communications are usable and inclusive for every customer, across any channel.
Now part of Quadient’s Digital automation portfolio, CDP Communications’ advanced accessibility and automation capabilities will accelerate innovation, enhance compliance features, and bring greater agility to product development. Its technology simplifies the conversion of high-volume documents into accessible formats, automates validation against global accessibility standards, and streamlines adaptation processes to support inclusive customer experiences at scale. By combining their strengths, Quadient unlocks new possibilities to advance its technology roadmap and deliver secure, inclusive, and future-ready communications for organizations worldwide.
“Accessibility is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s a fundamental part of delivering clear and meaningful communications,” said Geoffrey Godet, CEO of Quadient. “CDP Communications has been a trusted partner for many years. By welcoming them into Quadient, we reinforce our commitment to digital innovation and to delivering advanced technology that places accessibility at the heart of every business transaction. We will be able to more directly serve our existing customers and help them comply with these new market drivers, notably the EU Accessibility Act, while competing for new customers with greater differentiation. Together, we will continue to serve as the gatekeeper that ensures business communication is inclusive and compliant, so our customers can stay focused on customer experience and long-term value.”
The addition of CDP Communications technology strengthens Quadient’s flagship Customer Communications Management (CCM) platform, recognized by IDC as the number one solution in the market. By bringing CDP Communications capabilities into the design and delivery workflows of Quadient’s intelligent automation platform, Quadient enhances its ability to help enterprises produce communications that are compliant, accessible, and personalized across all digital and print channels.
CDP Communications’ teams, based primarily in Markham, Canada, will join Quadient’s Canadian operations to ensure business continuity and a smooth integration process. Closing of the transaction is expected within the coming days.

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) filed a formal complaint against the ABC, arguing that a recent article completely misrepresented Bitcoin.
Danielle du Toit2 min read
3 December 2025, 05:30 AM
ABIB accused the ABC of relying on outdated narratives, overstating criminal use, and ignoring legitimate global use cases and growing institutional adoption. ABIB also claims there was a breach in editorial standards and demanded specific corrections. The ABC now has 60 days to respond before the case can be escalated to the media regulator.
ABIB Disputes ABC Report on BitcoinThe Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) lodged a formal complaint against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), accusing the public broadcaster of publishing an article that misrepresented Bitcoin and breached editorial standards. According to ABIB, the article relied on outdated narratives, portrayed Bitcoin as primarily a tool for criminals, and ignored a wide range of positive use cases, including its role in energy-grid efficiency and humanitarian efforts. The group said the coverage “misrepresented Bitcoin’s purpose, conflated it with criminal activity,” and failed to reflect that widely available data that contradicts the article’s claims.
ABIB argues that the ABC piece used sensational language rather than actual evidence and overlooked both global and local examples of Bitcoin being used legitimately. It also outlined specific corrections it wants the ABC to make, along with the sections of the broadcaster’s code of conduct it believes were violated.
Under ABC’s code of practice, the broadcaster has 60 days to respond. If it does not, or if ABIB is dissatisfied with the reply, the matter can be escalated to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which has the power to investigate and issue enforcement actions.
A core issue that was raised by ABIB involves the article’s portrayal of Bitcoin as widely used by criminals. The group pointed to a 2024 report from Chainalysis showing that only 0.14% of on-chain Bitcoin transactions were linked to possible criminal activity. This amount was drastically lower than the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s estimate that criminal proceeds represent 3.6% of global GDP, most of which flows through the traditional financial system.
(Source: Chainalysis)
ABIB also disputed ABC’s claims that Bitcoin failed to fulfil its goals to act as a store of wealth. In fact, iInstitutional adoption accelerated quite a bit, with publicly traded companies, funds and governments now holding more than 3.7 million BTC, worth over $341 billion. Once-skeptical financial institutions have also started to engage with the sector, including Vanguard, which this week reversed its long-held position by allowing customers to trade crypto ETFs on its platform.
The complaint was made during a time of growing frustration in the Australian crypto sector over how digital assets are portrayed in mainstream media. A July report from intelligence firm Perception found that 28% of crypto articles across 18 major outlets were negative, compared with 31% positive and 41% neutral. ABIB said members of the public regularly contact the organisation about misleading or outdated coverage, especially from publicly funded institutions.

Ethereum dev proposes ‘Secret Santa' protocol to drive privacy – Details!
Privacy became the hottest topic in 2025 and the most profitable narrative across the crypto markets. As Christmas approaches, the frenzy remains. That’s why an Ethereum developer has announced a ‘Secret Santa’ privacy-focused protocol for anonymous gifting.
Source: ETH Research
This is not Ethereum’s first stab at privacy though. In fact, back in September, the Ethereum Foundation unveiled an ambitious privacy roadmap.
It covers all levels of the chain, from user-facing wallets to private payments and transactions for retail and institutional use cases.
Already, private wallet features are being rolled out thanks to the Kohaku framework.
What’s next for Ethereum in 2026?
That being said, the Ethereum ecosystem’s mid-term goals overlap between privacy, scaling, and AI.
Interestingly, recent scaling efforts, such as Pectra and Fusaka, are enhancing throughput and reducing the overall cost of transactions to rival other competent chains, like Solana.
In fact, the cost factor has dropped significantly that the Ethereum mainnet Layer 1 (L1) is now rivalling its Layer 2s (L2s). In a recent post, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, stated that users can now build directly on the L1 at current low rates.

Ethereum L1 vs. L2 debate
However, Buterin’s statement drew some criticism. One of the critics, Blockworks analyst Dan Smith, quipped,
“I don’t think it’s that straightforward because the largest consumers of blobspace are general-purpose L2s – direct competitors of L1 execution.”
Smith drew parallels between carpenters (L2) and lumber yards (L1), stating that they don’t sell competing end products.
However, other analysts countered that both mainnet L1 and L2s can still compete for the same builders. Supporters of Buterin’s L1 push, like Hasu, poked holes into Smith’s argument and added,
“Apple sells phones via own stores + direct distribution, but also on Amazon.”
And, the fight for users between the mainnet and L2s is quite understandable. Currently, L2s capture most of the economic value and hardly share it with L1.
For example, in the last 24 hours, Base, an L2 incubated by Coinbase, generated over $3.4 million in fees. However, only paid $3,700 as “rent” to the mainnet.
Source: Growthepie
It is based on this data that most analysts say that L2s extract value from Ethereum more than they give back. And to some extent, this tokenomics has dragged ETH’s value, according to other market watchers.
It remains to be seen how the scaling and privacy goals will improve ETH tokenomics and demand.
Final Thoughts
The privacy narrative remains a hot topic, and Ethereum is positioning itself well for the trend.
Similarly, Buterin is pushing for more value capture for the Ethereum L1, triggering backlash from some quarters.
Scamberry Pie is about making scam education approachable and timely, so people can spot scams, protect themselves, and help others.
Cover image via www.youtube.com
Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive officer at Ripple, has taken to the X social media network to announce the launch of a new anti-scam initiative.
The initiative, called Scamberry Pie, is a holiday campaign aimed at raising awareness about online scams.
It aims to encourage open conversations about scams within families and communities. In such a way, it would be possible to break the "silence" that scammers rely on.
HOT Stories
People will also be educated on common red flags of scams, including fake giveaways, impersonations, suspicious links, urgent messages, and fake social media activity.
The anti-scam initiative will also provide tools and resources that would be necessary for verifying suspicious messages, websites, and accounts.

The campaign is backed by Ripple, the Tech Against Scams Coalition (TASC), and partners like Match Group, Cash App, Coinbase, and the National Cryptocurrency Association.
The emphasis will also be on taking down thousands of scam websites and collaborating with platforms like YouTube to remove fraudulent content quickly.
"It takes a village" Garlinghouse has also praised Ripple's security team for taking down a slew of malicious websites and fake live videos.
Ripple has been actively fighting crypto scams for years, even going as far as suing YouTube back in 2020 before settling the case the following year.
During crypto rallies, scammers often ramp up activity: fake giveaways, impersonations, deep‑fake videos, phishing, and so on. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) tools make it more challenging to detect such scams.

XRP price eyes breakout beyond $2.2 as EMAs and MACD turn bullish
XRP price has reclaimed short-term EMAs, with MACD turning higher and RSI improving, but stacked ask walls mean a breakout requires strong volume through resistance.
Summary
Large Dogecoin transactions fell from 38 to just four, marking a 60-day low in whale activity.
DOGE trades below its 200-day EMA near a support level tested twice already in 2024.
Momentum has weakened since the June–September rally, with RSI showing persistent negative readings.
XRP price has climbed above short-term trend markers following a consolidation period, according to daily chart analysis, with the cryptocurrency showing signs of renewed buying interest.
The digital asset’s price has moved above its 9-day exponential moving average (EMA), while the spread between the 9-day and 20-day EMAs has narrowed, technical data shows. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned upward with histogram expansion, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has returned toward a neutral-to-bullish zone, according to chart analysis.
XRP price faces some resistance
XRP (XRP) faces a resistance band across several price levels, with order-book data showing multiple ask walls representing significant supply barriers. The first major resistance sits at undisclosed levels, followed by larger liquidity barriers at higher price points, market data indicates.
Analysts note that a close above initial resistance levels, accompanied by volume clearing order-book liquidity, would signal a potential structural shift toward a bullish trend. Thinner liquidity above current resistance ranges could accelerate upward momentum if buying pressure absorbs existing sell orders, according to technical observers.
On the support side, XRP maintains a price floor at several nearby levels, with multiple bid walls positioned above those supports representing substantial buyer demand, order-book data shows. A breakdown below this support region could shift market sentiment toward consolidation or bearish conditions, particularly if momentum indicators reverse, analysts said.
The cryptocurrency has not yet confirmed a full bullish reversal, though market posture has shifted away from weaker sentiment observed earlier in the week, according to price action analysis.
For long positions, technical analysts identify entry points above the first resistance level following successful clearing of nearby ask walls. Additional profit-taking zones align with subsequent resistance levels where liquidity density increases, market observers noted.
Short-position opportunities emerge on rejection patterns at initial resistance or failures to break through major ask walls, with downside targets at bid wall levels and deeper support zones, according to trading analysis.
The next phase of price movement depends on market interaction with stacked resistance levels, with momentum indicators providing a supportive backdrop while liquidity barriers remain the determining factor for further price direction, analysts said.

Cardano price shows early bullish signs but faces heavy resistance walls
Cardano price stabilizes above key support as RSI recovers, EMAs compress and MACD improves, but stacked ask walls and strong resistance still limit breakout potential.
Summary
RSI has rebounded from oversold into the low 40s, while the 9-day EMA starts to curl up against a still-descending 20-day EMA.
MACD histogram is expanding positively below zero, signaling early bullish momentum inside a broader downtrend.
Order-book data shows strong bid walls below and dense ask liquidity above, creating a tight range where failure at resistance risks renewed downside.
Cardano’s price action entered a stabilization phase on the daily chart following a period of sharp volatility, according to technical analysis from Ecoinimist.com.
The cryptocurrency’s recent closes reflected attempts to maintain position above short-term support levels, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rebounding from oversold territory into the low-40s range, indicating a reduction in selling pressure that characterized recent trading sessions.
Cardano, $ADA with the first monthly bullish RSI divergence since March 2020.
It may take a little while to play out, but valid as long as we don't see a monthly close below $0.3418.

XRP price trending down over 20-day EMA
Technical indicators showed the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) beginning to curve upward, while the 20-day EMA continued trending lower. The narrowing gap between these two averages typically precedes significant price movements, according to technical analysis patterns.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator displayed positive histogram expansion across multiple sessions. Both the MACD and signal lines remained below zero, reflecting the broader downtrend, though the increasing distance between histogram bars and the zero line suggested growing bullish momentum attempts.
Cardano’s (ADA) price structure remained confined between established support and resistance levels. The token maintained stability above its nearest key support level during recent sell-offs. Multiple resistance zones marked areas of previous selling activity and represented barriers to potential trend reversal.
Liquidity data revealed several significant bid and ask walls. On the bid side, the largest defensive wall sat below current price levels, representing substantial token volume. On the ask side, multiple stacked liquidity clusters presented obstacles to upward price movement, with the largest ask wall positioned as a critical threshold for potential acceleration.
Technical analysts noted potential trading scenarios based on current indicators. A retest of key support zones paired with stabilizing momentum could signal rebound opportunities, while failure to break through immediate ask-side liquidity or repeated rejections at resistance levels might indicate continued downward pressure. A breakdown below key support would expose the token to deeper support levels aligned with major bid walls.
The broader trend remained under bearish control despite early stabilization signs, according to the analysis. Price action remained capped under major resistance and exposed to downside liquidity risks. EMA compression and MACD progression were identified as key indicators for determining whether stabilization would evolve into trend reversal or renewed selling pressure.
Cardano, a proof-of-stake blockchain platform, has experienced significant price fluctuations in recent trading periods alongside broader cryptocurrency market movements.

Kevin O'Leary: December Fed rate cut won't move Bitcoin much
Kevin O’Leary downplays a possible December Fed rate cut, saying persistent inflation may keep policy tight and Bitcoin will likely drift within about 5% of current prices.
Summary
O’Leary rejects market odds of a December cut, saying he is not positioning his portfolio for easier policy.
He expects Bitcoin to trade within roughly 5% of current levels whatever the Fed decides, seeing no major catalyst.
His view contrasts with CME FedWatch odds near 88% for a cut, driven by shifting inflation data and recent Fed commentary.
American entrepreneur and investor Kevin O’Leary has stated that a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December would have minimal impact on Bitcoin prices, countering market speculation linking monetary policy to cryptocurrency movements.
O’Leary, known for his role on the television program “Shark Tank,” said in a recent interview that he does not expect the Fed to cut rates in December and is not structuring his investments around such an outcome.
Kevin O’Leary bullish on Bitcoin and Fed cut
“I don’t actually think the Fed’s gonna cut in December,” O’Leary stated. “I’m not investing that way. I’m not investing as if the Fed is going to cut rates. So I just don’t see it,” he said.
The investor added that a rate decision would not significantly affect Bitcoin regardless of the outcome. “I think it’s going to sort of drift within 5% of where it is now, in either direction,” O’Leary said, indicating he sees no major catalyst for substantial price movement.
O’Leary’s position contrasts sharply with current market expectations. The CME’s FedWatch Tool assigns an 88.1% probability to a December rate cut, according to the latest data. This represents a significant shift from late November, when the odds fell to 33%.
The investor cited persistent inflationary pressures as a primary reason the Fed may maintain current rates. U.S. annual inflation rose to 3% in September, marking the highest level since January, according to government data.
“It’s a dual mandate, full employment and inflation,” O’Leary said. “And so the tariffs are starting to take hold and input costs.”
Bitcoin (BTC) has declined 14% over the past month, according to market data. Cryptocurrency markets traditionally react to monetary policy changes, as lower interest rates typically reduce returns on traditional savings vehicles and prompt investors to seek alternative assets.
Market expectations regarding Fed policy have fluctuated significantly in recent weeks. On Nov. 19, rate-cut odds dropped from 67% earlier in the month to 33%, only to rebound sharply following comments from New York Fed President John Williams on Nov. 21.
Williams stated that the Fed could cut rates “in the near term” without compromising inflation progress, according to published reports. Bloomberg analyst Joe Weisenthal attributed the subsequent surge in rate-cut expectations to Williams’ remarks.
The Fed implemented two consecutive interest rate cuts earlier this year, one in September and another in November, reinforcing expectations of continued monetary easing through the end of 2025.
O’Leary maintained that Bitcoin would remain in a narrow trading range regardless of Fed actions. “I don’t see it negatively affecting Bitcoin,” he said, dismissing concerns that an unexpected hold on rates could destabilize cryptocurrency markets.
I like 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? But really, Bitzero, has changed so much since my original investment. It's a power company. It's agnostic to who uses its power.… pic.twitter.com/TXqHUDs4Gh

This Bitcoin-Led, Institutionally Anchored Cycle Shows the Three-Month Drop Isn’t a Winter: Glassnode

US authorities seize fraudulent website operated by crypto scam compound in Burma
The United States Justice Department has seized a web domain linked to a scam compound in Burma that ran cryptocurrency investment scams.
Summary
U.S. authorities have seized tickmilleas.com, a fraudulent crypto investment site operated from Burma’s Tai Chang compound.
The operation was found to have ties with entities sanctioned by the U.S.
Over 2,000 related social media accounts were removed.
U.S. authorities have shut down the domain tickmilleas.com, which posed as a trading platform but was actually part of a wider fraud operation run out of the Tai Chang compound, also known as Casino Kosai, in Kyaukhat, Burma, a Dec. 2 announcement from the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs said.
Earlier in the week, the DOJ also seized two additional domains allegedly used by the scam compound to run crypto scams.
For those unaware, scam compounds are large buildings or complexes operated by transnational criminal networks. They often involve trafficked or coerced workers forced to carry out online scams. Southeast Asia remains a major hub for these operations, which are increasingly behind large-scale crypto fraud schemes.
Per the DOJ, Tai Chang was found to have direct connections with sanctioned entities like the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army and Trans Asia International Holding Group. Both were recently designated as Specially Designated Nationals for their links to Chinese organized crime and their role in building scam centers across Southeast Asia.
“The seizure announced today is part of the D.C. USAO’s Scam Center Strike Force’s efforts to combat Southeast Asia scam centers at the highest level and prevent U.S. infrastructure from being used as instrumentalities of the fraud schemes,” an excerpt from the announcement said.
According to the affidavit filed in support of the seizure, the domain was designed to mimic a legitimate investment platform. It carried all the hallmarks of a functioning trading site, including fake dashboards, fabricated returns, and false deposits made by scammers to trick victims into believing their investments were real.
Once on the website, victims were even directed to download malicious mobile applications from Google Play and the Apple App Store, many of which were removed after the FBI notified the companies. Information provided by the agency also helped Meta shut down over 2,000 accounts across its network of social media platforms.
“Despite the seized domain being registered in early November 2025, the FBI already identified multiple victims who used the domain in the last month and were scammed out of their investments,” the announcement said.
As of press time, the tickmilleas.com website has been seized by law enforcement.
Crypto scam operations thrive in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam have become the breeding ground for online scams like pig butchering and fraudulent trading platforms, mostly run through scam compounds. U.S. authorities have taken action against several of these operations, which often rely on trafficked individuals forced to work in inhumane conditions.
Back in October, the DOJ seized over $14 billion worth of Bitcoin as part of one of the biggest financial takedowns in history, targeting Cambodia’s Prince Group, infamous for running large scam compounds across the country. Chinese-Cambodian tycoon Chen Zhi, believed to be the mastermind, was indicted as part of that operation.
Burma itself has witnessed a surge in cryptocurrency-related scams over the past few years. A Chainalysis report from last year found that romance scammers operating from the KK Park compound in Myawaddy siphoned nearly $100 million in crypto from global victims.

Dogecoin Posts Strongest Move in Weeks. Is $0.15 the Next Target?
Key resistance levels were tested, with momentum indicators supporting continued bullish movement.Updated Dec 3, 2025, 6:00 a.m. Published Dec 3, 2025, 6:00 a.m.
Dogecoin ripped through long-standing resistance with an explosive 1.37B volume surge, marking its strongest breakout in weeks as institutional-size flows returned to the memecoin sector.
News Background• DOGE jumped 8% from $0.1359 to $0.1467 during the 24-hour session
• Volume soared to 1.37B tokens — 242% above the 24-hour average
• The breakout coincided with sector-wide meme coin strength following ETF developments
• DOGE printed a 9.3% total trading range with multiple higher lows confirming accumulation
• Key resistance at $0.1475–$0.1480 was tested as institutional flows dominated intraday volume
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Technical AnalysisThe technical structure flipped decisively bullish as DOGE broke above its multi-session ceiling while printing consecutive higher lows from the $0.1347 base. The breakout candle at 15:00 triggered the clearest volume confirmation of the month, with 1.37B tokens signaling institutional accumulation rather than retail-driven volatility.
The breakout level at $0.1475–$0.1480 aligns with the upper boundary of DOGE’s short-term ascending channel, meaning clearing this zone opens a path toward the next high-liquidity band at $0.1500–$0.1520. Multiple hourly candles posted clean closes above prior resistance levels, reinforcing the structural shift.
Momentum indicators support continuation. Volume profile analysis shows a strong node forming between $0.145–$0.147, indicating bulls built a firm foundation. The rapid rejection wick at $0.1477 suggests supply absorption rather than reversal — a typical precursor to a secondary push. Elevated hourly volumes above 17.4M reinforce the sustained institutional presence necessary for follow-through.
Price Action SummaryDOGE opened near $0.1359 before lifting steadily through midday consolidation. The explosive move began at 15:00 during a 1.37B volume burst, sending price from $0.1419 to $0.1477 within minutes. The session high at $0.1477 formed just beneath the resistance band, with late trading stabilizing around $0.1467.
A confirmed higher low at $0.1347 established the new structural support level. Subsequent 60-minute data showed persistent buying, including a sharp 02:12 spike above 17.4M that propelled DOGE through the $0.1475 zone before briefly consolidating. The token closed within striking distance of the $0.148 resistance band.
What Traders Should Know• Clearing $0.1475–$0.1480 remains the key signal for continuation into $0.1500–$0.1520
• Elevated volume above the 1B+ threshold is needed to maintain breakout momentum
• $0.1347 is now the critical downside invalidation level for short-term bullish setups
• Breakout structure supports upside bias, but failure to clear $0.148 may trigger corrective pullback to $0.142–$0.144
• Meme-sector flows and ETF speculation continue to act as secondary catalysts in DOGE’s volatility cycle

Bitcoin Slump Claims New Victims: Leveraged ETFs Tied To Strategy Suffer Major Losses
Despite a 9% recovery on Tuesday, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced considerable volatility, with its price plummeting to as low as $84,000 just 24 hours ago. This downturn has had a significant impact on Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) the public company that holds the largest BTC reserves, currently boasting over 650,000 coins.
Strategy T-Rex ETFs Plummet Nearly 85%
NewsBTC reported that the company’s CEO, Phong Le, suggested the possibility of selling some of their Bitcoin holdings in light of the current market conditions.
Alongside this, the company’s leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have also faced substantial losses, intensifying worries about Strategy’s financial health.
Reuters highlighted that Strategy’s leveraged ETFs, which are designed to magnify returns on the firm’s stock, have been among the largest casualties of this year’s cryptocurrency slump.
Two specific ETFs, the T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF and the Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MSTR ETF, have seen dramatic declines, losing nearly 85% of their value this year.
Additionally, the T-Rex 2X Inverse MSTR Daily Target ETF has dropped by 48% in the same time frame. In this environment, shares of Strategy, MSTR, have fallen more than 40% this year, driven primarily by Bitcoin’s price crash.
Investor attention is now focused on Strategy’s “mNAV” (market net asset value) metric, which compares the company’s enterprise value to its Bitcoin holdings.
Following Le’s comments, where he mentioned the firm might consider selling cryptocurrencies if the mNAV drops below 1, concerns grew about the firm’s long-term outlook. Current estimates place this ratio around 1.1, according to calculations by Reuters.
Analysts Remain Optimistic
Mike O’Rourke, the chief market strategist at JonesTrading, noted that Le’s remarks diminish the company’s message of steadfastness in holding Bitcoin, even amid market volatility.
The company has also revised its full-year outlook, warning of a potential profit ranging from $6.3 billion to a loss of $5.5 billion, a stark adjustment from its earlier forecast of $24 billion in net profit. This prior estimate, made on October 30, anticipated Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by year-end.
Commenting on the shifting strategies within the firm, Vincenzo Vedda, chief investment officer at DWS, remarked, “Great strategy from Strategy, while prices go up. When they go down, well, the strategic options left to the company are limited.”
Since entering the Nasdaq 100 index, Strategy’s shares have dropped more than 70% from their peak in November 2024, more than halving in value over the year.
Despite this dismal performance, analyst sentiments remain relatively optimistic; of the 16 brokerages monitoring Strategy, 10 recommend it as a “buy” while four suggest a “strong buy,” with an overall median price target of $485, reflecting a potential 183% increase over the next year based on LSEG data.

CZ-linked YZi Labs to seek control of $412M BNB treasury firm – Why?
Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and his investment firm, YZi Labs, have initiated a high-stakes campaign to seize control of the publicly-traded BNB treasury firm, CEA Industries (BNC).
In a formal consent statement filed with the SEC, CZ and YZi Labs are urging BNC shareholders to support proposals aimed at overhauling the company’s governance.
YZi Labs’ plan
The statement calls for expanding the board of directors, electing YZi Labs’ own nominees, and repealing current bylaws. This would position the influential investor firm in direct conflict with BNC’s current management.
The statement read,
“We believe the current board is in critical need of additional directors with the knowledge and experience to effectively oversee management, address the company’s stock price underperformance and operational issues, and restore investors’ faith in the company.”
Moreover, the mechanism behind the attempt to reshape BNC is centered on a consent solicitation, which is a corporate action designed to bypass a traditional shareholder meeting.
Filed as a preliminary Schedule 14A with the SEC, the statement acts as a direct appeal, asking shareholders to grant written “consent” to a series of critical proposals – To immediately expand the board of directors, to elect a new slate of directors nominated by YZi Labs, and to repeal all bylaw amendments implemented after July of this year.
If YZi Labs secures the consent of a majority of BNC’s outstanding shares, it would gain the immediate authority to restructure the board and management team. This, without the delay of convening a formal meeting, transforming this into an urgent, existential battle for control of the firm’s leadership.
Reasons behind the dispute
The core of the governance dispute stems from the significant collapse in BNC’s share price, despite the company’s successful $500 million PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) financing in August that saw it pivot into a digital asset treasury.
YZi Labs, a key player in PIPE, has attributed this failure directly to the current management’s performance and a perceived lack of focus.
Furthermore, YZi Labs has alleged poor investor transparency, specifically pointing to the failure to provide basic financial disclosures like regular reporting on Net Asset Value (NAV), BNB yield, or accumulation rates, alongside confusing branding that oscillates between “CEA Industries” and “BNB Network Company.”
Another pillar of the activist campaign has targeted alleged conflicts of interest involving 10X Capital, the firm responsible for managing BNC’s treasury and key figures in BNC’s leadership.
YZi Labs believes that this compromised structure has prevented management from being effective stewards of shareholder resources, warning that a failure to act will inevitably lead to the “further destruction of shareholder value.”
The prize in this escalating corporate struggle is control over one of the world’s largest disclosed digital asset treasuries. It currently holds between 480,000 to 515,000 Binance [BNB].
Acquired at an average cost of $851 per token and recently valued at around $412 million, alongside an additional $77.5 million in cash, the company’s treasury is substantial.
Final thoughts
BNC’s battle is no longer about management; it’s about who controls one of the largest BNB treasuries in the world.
If YZi Labs succeeds, it could set a new precedent for activist investors in digital-asset treasury firms globally.

Grayscale Rejects 4-Year Cycle Thesis, Says Bitcoin Could Hit New ATH In 2026
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Grayscale Research has gone against the grain, rejecting Bitcoin’s popular 4-year cycle thesis and saying new highs could be possible next year.
Grayscale Research Doesn’t Believe A Prolonged Bitcoin Decline Is Coming Yet
In a new report, Grayscale Research has discussed what the latest pullback in the market could mean for Bitcoin. This drawdown, which began in early October and lasted until two-thirds of the way into November, resulted in a price decrease of about 32% from peak to trough.
While the scale of the drop hasn’t been small, Grayscale has noted that it has still been close to the historical average for bull market drawdowns. “Since Bitcoin’s price bottomed in November 2022, it has declined at least 10% nine times,” said the crypto asset manager’s research arm. “It has been a bumpy ride, but not atypical for a Bitcoin bull market.”
2026 will mark four years since the 2022 bear market. Among BTC traders, there is a popular idea that the cryptocurrency’s price cycles run over a length of roughly four years. According to this thesis, the next year could see the asset go down, as it has now enjoyed three years of appreciation.
The 4-year cycle thesis originates from the fact that Bitcoin Halving events are spaced apart by approximately four years. During such an event, BTC’s block subsidy, a fixed reward that miners receive for adding the next block to the chain, is slashed in half.
As the block subsidy is the only way to mint more of the cryptocurrency, Halvings have a direct effect on its supply growth. This scarcity effect of the Halving is what has made many in the community believe that the event sits in the center of bullish phases.
Historically, Bitcoin has seen large drawdowns about every four years, which has strengthened the belief in the idea of a cycle being four years in length. Grayscale doesn’t think that the current cycle will go the same way, however. “Although the outlook is uncertain, we believe the four-year cycle thesis will prove to be incorrect, and that Bitcoin’s price will potentially make new highs next year,” explained the report. Grayscale Research has given three reasons for this expectation.
The first is the fact that the latest BTC cycle hasn’t seen any phase of parabolic price increase, as the below chart highlights.

The second is that Bitcoin has seen a shift this cycle, with instruments like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital asset treasuries (DATs) bringing in fresh capital. Before, BTC relied on inflows through retail exchanges.
Lastly, Grayscale has pointed out that the macro market backdrop is still looking favorable for cryptocurrencies; the potential for lower interest rates and continued progress on bipartisan digital asset legislation could drive institutional investment.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $87,000, unchanged from one week ago.

Bitcoin: Bank of America Recommends an Allocation Between 1 and 4%
The second largest American bank officially opens its doors to Bitcoin. Bank of America now recommends its wealthy clients allocate between 1% and 4% of their wealth in crypto. A strategic shift marking a decisive step in institutional adoption.
In brief
Bank of America recommends a 1% to 4% crypto allocation for its wealthy clients through its Merrill and Private Bank platforms.
Four Bitcoin ETFs will be available starting January 2026, including those from BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and Bitwise.
More than 15,000 wealth management advisors will now be able to recommend crypto products, a first for the bank.
This decision is part of a broader institutional movement following BlackRock, Fidelity, and Morgan Stanley.
A historic legitimization of Bitcoin by Wall Street
Bank of America has just crossed a symbolic milestone. Starting January 5, 2026, the bank will provide access to four Bitcoin ETFs through its Merrill, Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge platforms.
Clients will be able to invest in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust, and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF.
“For investors highly interested in thematic innovation and comfortable with high volatility, a modest allocation of 1% to 4% in digital assets might be appropriate“, says Chris Hyzy, Chief Investment Officer at Bank of America. This range is not random: it reflects an emerging consensus among financial giants.
The change is all the more remarkable since the bank’s 15,000 wealth management advisors previously had no authorization to recommend crypto products. This restriction is now lifted, thereby paving the way for a controlled democratization of Bitcoin among ultra-wealthy clients.
With $2.67 trillion in consolidated assets and more than 3,600 branches, Bank of America thus joins the movement initiated by its competitors. Vanguard, the world’s second largest asset manager, recently authorized crypto ETF trading, reversing its restrictive stance. The domino effect is confirmed on Wall Street.
BlackRock paved the way, others follow
It was BlackRock that set the standards for this new allocation strategy. In December 2024, the asset management giant already recommended a 1% to 2% exposure to Bitcoin, comparable to the risk carried by the “magnificent seven” (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, and Nvidia). A bold comparison that hit the mark.
Fidelity followed suit in June with a recommendation of 2% to 5%, arguing that this range minimizes collapse risk while allowing protection against inflation.
Morgan Stanley followed in October with an allocation of 2% to 4%. Bank of America thus aligns itself with this emerging doctrine: measured exposure.
This convergence reveals a profound transformation in institutional views on Bitcoin. The argument is no longer about unbridled speculation, but about thoughtful diversification.
“Our recommendations emphasize regulated investment vehicles, thoughtful allocation, and a clear understanding of opportunities and risks“, Chris Hyzy clarifies.
The numbers speak for themselves. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF shows remarkable performance, with consistently positive net flows according to K33 Research. Fund holders recently broke even, erasing October 2025 losses thanks to Bitcoin surpassing $90,000.
In short, Bank of America’s entry into the crypto arena marks the end of an era of institutional mistrust. With a clear allocation recommendation and facilitated access to Bitcoin ETFs, the bank validates the model outlined by BlackRock and its peers. Bitcoin is no longer a fringe asset: it becomes a legitimate asset class in diversified portfolios of wealthy clients.

Bitcoin Reclaims $93K as Bullish Sentiment Returns
Bitcoin has recovered all losses from its big leverage flush out in just two days as it reclaims a key price level.
Bitcoin prices have recovered to exceed $93,000 again during early trading in Asia on Wednesday morning. The move comes less than two days after it dumped to $84,000 in the latest violent leverage flush.
The asset has now recovered all losses from that drawdown and is sitting at a crucial resistance point. The move has also reignited market sentiment, which has turned bullish once again in this very unusual cycle.
Analyst ‘Daan Crypto Trades’ observed the monthly candle sweep, stating, “whenever a new month instantly moves up or down, and leaves no wick or anything behind, these levels are often taken out. This was a very quick and clean example of that.”
Total Market Cap Sweeps Lows
He also observed that the total crypto market capitalization retook June lows, “and is showing some solid low time frame strength.”
“For December to be able to show some further relief, you’d want to see this start making those higher lows and higher highs on the low time frame first. Breaking last week’s high would confirm such a local higher high.”
$BTC There is the monthly candle high sweep already. That did not take long.
As said before, whenever a new month instantly moves up or down, and leaves no wick or anything behind, these levels are often taken out. This was a very quick and cleann example of that. https://t.co/o2u4zdGcFP pic.twitter.com/wfCA071Xtk
— Daan Crypto Trades (@DaanCrypto) December 2, 2025
Total cap is currently $3.2 trillion, according to CoinGecko, down around 27% from its all-time high of $4.4 trillion in early October.
Glassnode reported that “large short-liquidation clusters” were forming, but this is not necessarily a bad thing as “short liquidations can act as fuel for upside, as forced buyers amplify momentum.”

Meanwhile, analyst ‘Sykodelic’ echoed the bullish sentiment, stating, “Everyone on the timeline was absolutely losing their minds yesterday with that dip. But it was exactly what we wanted to see.”
However, analyst ‘CryptoCon’ wasn’t so bullish, labelling the latest move a bear trap. “On every price bump, you’ll see: ‘Bottom’s in, new ATHs soon.’ That’s the bear market trap,” he said before adding:
“The bear market usually takes the full year to play out, so it’s a long, painful process.”
Elsewhere on Crypto Markets
Bitcoin’s rebound has been good for Ether, which shadowed it, reclaiming $3,000 once again. This is also a key resistance level for the asset, which needs to show strength above it to retake $3,400 next.
Many of the altcoins were seeing greater gains, with Solana adding almost 10% to reach $140, Cardano up 12.5% to $0.44, and Chainlink surging 15% as it approached $14.
Nevertheless, most altcoins have been battered so badly over the past month that these gains are still very minor.

Glassnode: Bitcoin absorbs $732B as tokenized RWAs hit $24B
Bitcoin’s latest cycle is defined by heavier institutional flows, ETF-driven liquidity and $24B in tokenized RWAs, with volatility nearly halved as $732B in new capital enters.
Summary
Glassnode estimates Bitcoin absorbed about $732B in new capital this cycle while one-year realized volatility dropped by nearly 50%.
Tokenized real-world assets expanded from $7B to $24B in a year as pension funds, hedge funds and corporates seek on-chain exposure via regulated products.
ETF rails, deeper liquidity and active market-making have moved flows into traditional infrastructure, tightening spreads and dampening extreme spot price swings.
Bitcoin’s current market cycle has shown increased institutional participation and reduced volatility, with tokenized real-world assets reaching $24 billion, according to data released by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode.
Glassnode and Fasanara Capital stated in their Q4 Digital Assets Report that the market structure has shifted as larger investors increase their presence in the cryptocurrency sector.
The report estimated Bitcoin has absorbed approximately $732 billion in new capital during this cycle, accompanied by a significant decline in volatility. One-year realized volatility has decreased by nearly half, the report stated.
Bitcoin is settling according to Glassnode
Bitcoin (BTC) settled approximately $6.9 trillion over the past 90 days, placing it comparable to payment processors Visa and Mastercard, according to Glassnode. The firm noted that Bitcoin and stablecoins continue to dominate value transfer on public ledgers despite increased activity moving to exchange-traded funds and brokerage channels.
Capital flows into ETFs have altered how investment enters and exits the asset class, according to the report. The adoption of regulated investment vehicles has directed large volumes through traditional market infrastructure, contributing to more stable liquidity conditions and reducing the frequency of large price swings in spot trading, the report stated.
Tokenized real-world assets have expanded from $7 billion to $24 billion within one year, marking significant institutional adoption, according to the data. Tokenized funds have gained traction as asset managers explore new distribution models and investors seek simplified access to traditional instruments, the report noted.
The growth of tokenized RWAs reflects interest from pension funds, hedge funds and corporations seeking on-chain exposure without taking directional positions on major cryptocurrencies, according to Glassnode. The segment has attracted consistent inflows through 2025 as platforms enhance custody, compliance and settlement infrastructure, the firm stated.
Glassnode reported that market structure has become larger and demonstrated lower volatility. The firm described the market as trading with reduced extremes compared to earlier cycles, citing deeper liquidity and an increased share of institutional flows across derivatives, spot markets and on-chain data.
Stablecoins continue to function as the primary bridge between traditional and digital markets, with settlement demand remaining substantial across centralized and decentralized venues, according to the report. The dual-rail structure has become a permanent feature of the ecosystem, the report stated.
ETF demand has attracted increased market-making and arbitrage participation from traditional firms, tightening spreads and reducing price dislocations during market selloffs, according to Glassnode. The firm stated this dynamic has contributed to a more resilient market compared to previous cycles.
Analysts expect institutional involvement to increase as tokenized funds achieve broader adoption, according to the report. Glassnode characterized the current cycle as a turning point in market composition, with heavier institutional flows, reduced volatility and rapid growth of tokenized RWAs indicating the sector is entering a more structurally mature phase.

Former SEC Chief Gensler Says Crypto Market Still Volatile, Expect Bitcoin
Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, now a professor at MIT, has repeated his tough stance on crypto in an interview. He warned that most cryptocurrencies are still “speculative and volatile,” offering no real value or clear purpose.
However, he hinted at one major digital asset that stands apart. Let’s see what he says about it.
Gensler Repeats Crypto Risk WarningIn a recent Bloomberg interview, Gensler repeated his long-standing view on crypto risks. He said many tokens do not offer dividends, real value, or strong use cases. Instead, most people buy them only because they expect the price to go up, making these assets “highly speculative.”
Gensler believes only Bitcoin and a few regulated stablecoins are different, as they are more trusted and recognized. Meanwhile, many altcoins, especially smaller or meme-driven ones, grow mainly on hype.
Some launch with nothing more than a whitepaper and later lose up to 80–90% after a short rally.
These remarks reflect the same stance Gensler held as SEC Chair from 2021 to 2025, when he led major crackdowns on crypto platforms.
Altcoins Growing But Still Riskier Than BitcoinEven with his warnings, the crypto market today is much more mature than before. Many top coins now offer real use cases like smart contracts, faster payments, and strong community adoption, even though they still show higher volatility than Bitcoin.
Major altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB, Cardano, and Chainlink have strong liquidity, loyal users, and in some cases, even ETF approvals.
Meanwhile, memecoins like PEPE, FLOKI, and TRUMP still depend mostly on social hype, but they are not just random experiments anymore.
Crypto Market Moves Beyond Old RulesGensler’s warning may still matter as the marketplace is crowded with thousands of tokens lacking real value or clarity, but the market he once tried to police has already evolved.
However, traders like CryptoRus believe this view is outdated. Today, institutions own crypto, brokers trade ETFs, and Bitcoin reacts to global economic trends, not just hype.
GENSLER STILL FIGHTING A WAR THAT ALREADY ENDED
Gensler popped back on Bloomberg today running the exact same script — “speculative,” “volatile,” “no fundamentals,” acting like Bitcoin & crypto are still some rogue asset on the fringe.
It feels like one of those stories you… pic.twitter.com/V5SNmasvDg
— CryptosRus (@CryptosR_Us) December 3, 2025 Crypto supporters argue that Gensler is still fighting a battle that the market already won, while the industry keeps growing without waiting for him.

SUI Token has become one of the strongest-performing major cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours. The SUI price today jumped from $1.35 to around $1.55, rising about 15–20%.
Apart from a few meme tokens, SUI recorded the highest daily gain among large-cap assets. The rally comes amid a wave of ecosystem updates, improved market sentiment, and increased accessibility for U.S. users.
Why SUI Price is Surging?SUI’s price is rising today due to several key factors in its ecosystem and market activity:
USDsui Stablecoin Launch: Sui introduced USDsui, a fiat-backed stablecoin designed for real-world payments. It supports yield-sharing, works across Sui wallets, apps, and DeFi protocols, and is compatible with other bridge-backed stablecoins. This launch has strengthened confidence in the Sui ecosystem and signals its long-term growth potential.
Coinbase Expansion: SUI trading is now open to New York residents on Coinbase, significantly increasing accessibility in a major regulated market. This expansion adds more buying demand and liquidity.
Major Token Unlock: SUI recently completed a $86.86 million token unlock, releasing 55.54 million tokens on November 30. Despite the increase in supply, the price moved higher, showing strong market interest and accumulation of the new tokens.SUI Price Prediction Analysts note that SUI’s upward momentum is closely tied to Bitcoin’s movement. The next critical level sits at $1.80, a zone that, if broken and confirmed as support, could open the door to an extension toward $2.00–$2.30.
The resistance zone for SUI is still between $1.67 and $2.21. SUI has now reached $1.67, which is an important level for confirming that the recent bounce is strong. The next key level near $1.95 is still possible, but it looks a bit far away for now.
On the downside, immediate support lies at $1.58, followed by a key demand region known as the green box band. A drop below $1.48 would be the first clear sign that SUI has likely formed a local top and that a downside move may be starting.
According to crypto analyst TED, Liquidity data also shows sizeable upward liquidity clusters, while long liquidations around $1.40–$1.50 may still need to be swept before the next leg higher.
Historically, December has been a bullish month for risk assets, and Bitcoin tends to rally after Thanksgiving, another tailwind that could support SUI’s upside.

Why Bitcoin Could Be a Big Winner if More Inflation Happens
When money starts being worth less, "hard" assets can be the way to go.
The U.S. is not reliving the high-inflation period of the 1970s, but prices are still rising faster than the Federal Reserve (and consumers, and investors) would like. If inflation flares again in the next few years, and it probably will, investors will be looking for assets that are harder to dilute than cash.
Bitcoin (BTC +7.66%) is near the top of that list of assets. Here's how it could benefit from rising inflation, and how to use it in your portfolio without overrelying on it.
Image source: Getty Images.
Scarcity and locked-up supply are hard to beat
Inflation especially hurts assets that depend on policymakers to maintain their value. Holding liquid fiat currency is the ultimate example, as policymakers can opt to reduce its value outright by printing more money or by making money very inexpensive to borrow. Investors therefore look for assets that will either outgrow inflation or which cannot be expanded at will, like real estate or gold.
Bitcoin was built to become a member of that second category. Its protocol caps total supply at 21 million coins, and more than 94% of that sum is already mined. That leaves relatively little new issuance, especially after the most recent halving of mining rewards, and even less issuance expected in the future once the next halvings occur.
Today's Change
(
7.66
%) $
6655.61
Current Price
$
93522.00
On top of that, there are 3 million to 4 million coins, up to roughly 20% of the eventual total that can exist, which are lost because people misplaced keys or abandoned their crypto wallets. In practical terms, that implies closer to 17 million to 18 million coins that can ever trade, and the ownership of that quantity is also concentrating in slower-moving hands than ever before.
A bloc of financial institutions and corporate entities, as well as digital asset treasuries, already hold more than 6 million BTC, around 28% of the eventual total. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which buy and hold coins on behalf of investors, add another layer of locked-up supply, as asset managers need to hold the coin to issue ETFs in the first place.
If inflation accelerates again and more investors want exposure to a non-fiat store of value, a modest jump in demand will be pushing against a relatively small pool of coins that are actually for sale. That setup tends to produce outsize price moves over time.
This hedge isn't perfect
None of this makes Bitcoin into the ideal inflation hedge.
One big problem is simply that it doesn't have a long track record compared to some of the other leading candidates for the role. Gold has a history of being a store of value that stretches back thousands of years, with ample evidence that it preserves purchasing power through many inflationary eras, and even through civilizations. Bitcoin's history spans a handful of monetary cycles, and much of that period was dominated by booms and crashes.
Nonetheless, Bitcoin's returns have tended to rise after positive inflation surprises, which supports the idea that it can act as a partial hedge. The catch is volatility; Bitcoin has repeatedly lost 40% to 80% of its value in past downturns even when inflation stayed positive, which is not ideal if you may need to tap your hedge on short notice.
If the next inflation flare-up comes bundled with a recession or financial stress, investors could easily sell Bitcoin alongside stocks to raise cash. Of course, that's true of gold or real estate too, but investors should appreciate that it's considerably easier to liquidate a Bitcoin position than it is to sell a house or a gold bar.
The best approach here is thus to treat Bitcoin as one component of an inflation-resistant portfolio, which also includes more proven assets. If inflation does become stickier, Bitcoin's scarcity and growing institutional footprint give it a real shot at being one of the biggest winners. If it doesn't, having a small position won't derail your broader strategy.

Eric Trump Says He's Not Selling As American Bitcoin Shares Crash 38%: 'Fundamentals Are Virtually Unmatched'
American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ:ABTC) shares modestly recovered in Tuesday’s after-hours trading following a sharp drop triggered by the expiration of the lockup period for investors, including co-founder Eric Trump.
ABTC stock is at key technical levels. Get the latest updates here.
Early Investors Can Take Profits, Says TrumpABTC gained over 4% after-hours, but not before a sharp decline in the regular session that knocked it down more than 50% at one point.
The stock experienced downside volatility following the expiration of its lock-up period, which had previously restricted early investors from selling their shares.
The development was confirmed by Trump, who said that early investors are “freely available to cash in on their profits.”
Trump Won’t Sell His StakeTrump clarified that he is holding all his shares and that he is “100% committed” to leading the industry.
According to the most recent SEC filing, he owns 68.147 million shares of American Bitcoin, worth $149.24 million at current prices.
A lock-up period is a period, typically ranging from three months and a year during which insider and institutional investors are restricted from dumping potentially billions of dollars worth of shares into the market. Find out more here.

Ether 'Bear Trap' Confirmed as Bitcoin Probes Friday High, XRP Eyes $2.30 HurdleEther looks north after a confirmed bear trap.Updated Dec 3, 2025, 4:56 a.m. Published Dec 3, 2025, 4:55 a.m.
This is a technical analysis post by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole.
Bitcoin BTC$93,188.91 has bounced strongly from the $80,000-$83,000 support zone, probing the Friday swing high at $93,100. A breakout here would expose the trendline drawn from Oct. 8 record highs, which remains an important near-term resistance.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Consolidation looks more likely before the breakout, as the hourly MACD histogram produces shallow bars above zero, indicating a loss of upward momentum. The daily MACD, meanwhile, remains bullish, supporting a bullish resolution to the consolidation.
On the downside, the $80,000-$83,000 support zone remains the key level for bulls to defend.

XRP$2.2108 has once again turned higher from the long-held $2 support, crossing bullishly above the Ichimoku cloud on the hourly chart. An intraday uptrend is clearly taking shape, but it remains to be seen if it can clear the immediate resistance zone of $2.28-$2.30.
That would shift the focus to the bearish trendline at around $2.50. Inability to cross the resistance zone could lead to a renewed drop to $2.00.

ETHEther's ETH$3,056.75 hourly chart exhibits a classic bear trap, with price action feigning a breakdown below the lower boundary of the descending channel before staging a bounce.
This type of price action following a notable downtrend indicates that selling pressure has been absorbed and buyers have established the path of least resistance to the upside.
With bulls now holding the initiative, price action eyes Friday's swing high at $3,100, with potential progression toward the $3,500 low from the Oct. 10 selloff. On the downside, $2,600-$2,700 remains the key support zone.

SOLSolana SOL$142.65 appears to be approaching the upper boundary of a well-defined sideways channel near $145. A decisive top above this level would open upside toward $165.
The breakout may not occur immediately, as the hourly MACD exhibits deceleration in bullish momentum. However, with the daily MACD remaining bullish, eventual upside resolution looks more likely.

XRP Surges 8% as Ascending Triangle and Bullish RSI Cross Trigger Fresh Rally
XRP Surges 8% as Ascending Triangle and Bullish RSI Cross Trigger Fresh RallyXRP Ledger network activity surged to multi-year highs, with 40,000 account set operationsUpdated Dec 3, 2025, 4:57 a.m. Published Dec 3, 2025, 4:57 a.m.
XRP ripped through the crucial $2.10 resistance with an explosive volume surge, marking its strongest breakout in weeks as technical and on-chain catalysts finally aligned in the bulls’ favor.
News Background• XRP jumped from $2.03 to $2.17 as buyers overwhelmed sellers at key resistance levels
• Volume spiked 182% above average during the breakout window at 15:00 GMT
• XRP Ledger network activity surged to multi-year highs, with 40,000+ Account Set operations
• AMM-related positioning accelerated as regulatory clarity boosted developer and liquidity growth
• Institutional accumulation showed up in consecutive high-volume bursts above 1M units
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Technical AnalysisXRP’s breakout above $2.10 confirms the completion of a multi-day compression structure that formed along the $2.00 support shelf. The surge in volume—more than doubling the 24-hour average—validates the move and indicates coordinated institutional participation rather than retail speculation.
The rally formed a clear ascending structure with consecutive higher lows at $2.00, $2.04, and $2.155. This upward curvature strengthens the ascending triangle that has been building for more than six months. XRP now approaches the structure’s upper boundary with a rising probability of continuation.
Momentum indicators are flipping bullish in ways not seen since major historical rallies. The weekly Stochastic RSI crossed upward from oversold territory—a pattern previously observed before XRP’s 600% 2024 breakout and its 130% mid-2025 rally. Combined with increasing network activity and record AMM engagement, the technical setup suggests expanding bullish pressure rather than a short-lived spike.
Price Action SummaryXRP traded within a $0.14 range, starting the session at $2.03 before surging to $2.17. The breakout occurred at 15:00 GMT during a 200.5M volume burst—by far the day’s heaviest activity. After clearing $2.10, the token printed new highs at $2.181 during the 02:12–02:13 window, supported by multiple 3M+ volume spikes. A consolidation band formed between $2.155 and $2.180 as late-session trading showed sustained accumulation rather than distribution.
What Traders Should Know• $2.17–$2.18 is now first resistance; clearing it opens the path to $2.33–$2.40
• $2.00–$1.98 remains the structural support zone and the invalidation level for the breakout
• Sustained volume above 1M per hour signals real accumulation and reduces odds of pullback traps
• Ascending triangle remains active with multi-month breakout implications
• Stochastic RSI bullish cross + surging network activity provides the strongest confluence since early-2024 rallies

Bitcoin (BTC) Price In A ‘Vulnerable Technical Environment' – Key Levels To Watch
Bitcoin (BTC) began the week dropping nearly 10% from the recent highs and retesting the $84,000 area before bouncing. As price risks more downside with early bear market signals, a market observer suggested that the upcoming weeks will be crucial for BTC’s future path.
Bitcoin Holds Key Weekly Range
Last week, Bitcoin led the brief market recovery, surging from its seven-month low of $80,600 toward the $93,000 area, retesting a key weekly re-accumulation range between these two levels. However, the Sunday correction sent the price back to the range lows, raising concerns about the flagship crypto’s short-term future.
Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that BTC is stabilizing within its weekly range, holding its position above the $82,000 range low. This area marks the top of an early 2025 liquidity cluster that developed around the 50-Week EMA, where the price has tapped with three downside wicks over the past month.
“Last week’s Weekly Close above the Range Low enabled a relief move toward $93,500,” the analyst explained, “but that level acted as clean resistance,” after Friday’s rejection. To the analyst, maintaining stability around the weekly range lows is important because further downside wicking into the cluster is probable.

However, he noted that the consolidation structure remains intact as long as BTC’s price continues to hold above the range low in the weekly timeframe. Rekt Capital added that Bitcoin continues to trade below a sharply declining Macro Downtrend that “has been dictating resistance throughout this phase of the cycle.”
Per the analysis, “A breakout soon would require reclaiming higher price levels, whereas a later attempt would meet the trendline at lower valuations, narrowing the distance between the current price and resistance.”
“In either case, the Macro Downtrend remains the dominant structural barrier, and Bitcoin’s path forward depends on whether consolidation near the Weekly Range Low can bring price closer to a meaningful test of this sharply descending level,” he continued.
BTC’s Vulnerable Technical Environment Raises Alarms
Rekt Capital also highlighted that BTC remains below the 21-Week EMA and 50-Week EMA, which could pose a problem for its future price action as the distance between these moving averages continues to narrow.
As he detailed, when these EMAs compress and ultimately cross, it tends to precede further downside. Although it usually takes weeks after the crossover for price acceleration to “fully unfold,” it still implies that the crossover risk is increasing.
The two EMAs currently represent potential resistance levels on future relief attempts, with the 50-Week EMA retest “leaving room for a future rejection if price revisits it.”
This position, the analyst explained, places BTC in a “vulnerable technical environment” as “the convergence of the EMAs toward the Macro Downtrend creates a layered zone of resistance that will be difficult to overcome unless price can reclaim one of these moving averages and stabilise above it.”
Until Bitcoin successfully turns one of the EMAs into support, “the structure resembles the early-stage clustering seen in prior cycles where EMAs compressed before a broader bearish continuation,” the analyst concluded.
As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $88,294, a 2.3% increase in the daily timeframe.

Solana (SOL) Strengthens Above $135 as Market Sentiment Shifts Back Toward Bulls
Solana started a recovery wave above the $135 zone. SOL price is now consolidating and faces hurdles near the $140 zone.
SOL price started a decent recovery wave above $132 and $135 against the US Dollar.
The price is now trading above $135 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $138 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The price could continue to move up if it clears $140 and $142.
Solana Price Jumps 10%
Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave above $130, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $135 level.
There was a move above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $145 swing high to the $123 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $138 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
Solana is now trading above $135 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. It is also above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $145 swing high to the $123 low. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $140 level.

The next major resistance is near the $142 level. The main resistance could be $145. A successful close above the $145 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $155. Any more gains might send the price toward the $162 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $140 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $136 zone and the same trend line. The first major support is near the $134 level.
A break below the $134 level might send the price toward the $128 support zone. If there is a close below the $128 support, the price could decline toward the $120 zone in the near term.

SOL, ADA, XRP Zoom 12% as Bitcoin Bounces Above $93K. But Will The Rally Last?
The recovery followed a washout in derivatives markets, where roughly $457 million in short positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours.Updated Dec 3, 2025, 5:20 a.m. Published Dec 3, 2025, 5:20 a.m.
Bitcoin climbed back above $93,000 on Wednesday in a broad crypto-market rebound, recovering part of the steep losses that triggered nearly half a billion dollars in liquidations on Monday.
The move offered some relief after a chaotic start to the week, though the bounce does little to settle nerves following a series of structural shocks across the market.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Bitcoin rose more than 7% over the past day to trade near $93,360 as of Asian morning hours, reversing a portion of the heavy selling that pushed the asset below $84,000 on Monday. Ether gained more than 9% to reclaim the $3,000 level. Solana, Cardano, XRP and several other large-cap tokens posted double-digit advances, with SOL and ADA up more than 12% each.
The recovery followed a washout in derivatives markets, where roughly $457 million in short positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin accounted for $224 million of that total, while Ether added another $94 million, according to Coinglass data.
The shakeout cleared a large portion of leveraged positioning that had built up during the recent decline.
But sentiment remains cautious despite the rebound. Bitcoin’s selloff earlier in the week coincided with thinning weekend liquidity and spillover from macro jitters, creating a volatile backdrop that amplified price swings.
The broader market is still digesting concerns tied to corporate balance-sheet exposure, including the sharp drawdowns in Strategy-linked ETFs and the pending MSCI methodology review — both of which have weighed on risk appetite in recent sessions.
Tuesday’s uptick was helped by a handful of incremental catalysts.
The market saw renewed optimism following comments from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, who said the agency plans to detail the framework behind a proposed “innovation exemption” for digital-asset firms.
It was seen as a step toward regulatory clarity after months of stalled policymaking. Vanguard’s decision this week to allow trading of crypto-focused ETFs and mutual funds on its platform also helped brighten sentiment after a long stretch of outflows.
Still, the structure of the rebound suggests it is primarily a relief move rather than a shift in trend. Market depth remains uneven, and several large tokens are recovering from multi-week lows.
The next test is whether spot demand can sustain the move once derivatives markets settle from the liquidation cycle.

ICP price stuck below key EMAs as bears retain control
ICP trades below its 9- and 20-day EMAs with bearish MACD and neutral RSI, as bid and ask walls define a tight range and cap prospects for any near-term breakout.
Summary
ICP remains under its 9- and 20-day EMAs after a multi-week downtrend, with only tentative attempts to form mid-range support.
MACD stays negative but shows contracting histogram bars, while RSI in the low 40s hints at weak, range-bound momentum rather than capitulation.
Order-book data shows strong bid walls cushioning downside and stacked ask walls capping upside, with a key psychological level acting as major resistance.
Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) cryptocurrency continues trading below key technical levels following a multi-week downtrend, according to technical analysis from market data.
The digital asset remains below both its 9-day and 20-day exponential moving averages, with price action showing limited recovery attempts after an extended decline. Daily closes indicate attempts to establish support in the mid-range, though the cryptocurrency has not reclaimed its short-term moving averages, according to chart data.
Looks like #ICP will start to move soon this week after Wednesday, likely path drawn and this trendline should support the move. $ICP will be very strong as long as we stay above $2.8 on a weekly basis.
Watch today's close for further strength. pic.twitter.com/kw3VslS0r0
— Brain2jene💫 (@brain2jene) December 2, 2025
Technical indicators present mixed signals. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains in negative territory, though histogram bars have contracted in recent sessions, suggesting a potential easing of downward pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers in the low-40s range, indicating neither oversold conditions nor strong momentum.
For potential price advancement, ICP faces resistance at multiple levels where prior rejection occurred. Breaking above the 9-day exponential moving average would represent the first technical hurdle, followed by higher resistance zones where trading activity historically increased.
Support levels exist at substantially lower price points established during previous market declines. The distance between current trading ranges and these support levels indicates potential downside risk if stabilization efforts fail.
ICP faces rejection at multiple levels
Order book data shows three significant bid walls currently providing liquidity support. The nearest bid wall offers immediate defense against further declines, though breach of this level could expose the cryptocurrency to additional downside movement toward deeper support structures.
On the upside, multiple ask walls present obstacles to price recovery. Clearing the first major ask wall could enable movement toward higher resistance levels, with a larger liquidity concentration positioned at a key psychological price point.
Technical analysts note that while indicators maintain a bearish bias, the slowing rate of decline in MACD readings combined with stabilizing RSI levels suggests the possibility of sideways trading rather than immediate trend continuation.
A sustained close above the 9-day exponential moving average would signal a shift in short-term momentum, according to technical analysis frameworks. More conservative approaches would require reclaiming primary resistance levels to confirm structural trend reversal.
