Bitmine’s $219 million staking move and growing Ethereum treasury
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has decided for staking with a $219 million worth of Ethereum as part of its institutional treasury strategy, marking a decisive step in how listed companies treat crypto as a core balance-sheet asset. Recent reports indicate Bitmine holds over 4 million ETH, placing it among the largest public Ethereum treasuries globally.

This latest move signals a broader shift in how institutions view cryptocurrencies. Instead of treating them as speculative instruments, firms are increasingly positioning them as long-term treasury assets with defined risk and yield profiles. Moreover, Bitmine, originally a mining technology company, has pivoted towards building a sizeable Ethereum-focused treasury.

The company has accumulated ETH worth around $12 billion when combining total crypto and cash holdings. That said, the new staking activity not only seeks to lock in protocol-level yields but also reinforces Ethereum network security, effectively adding a yield-generating layer to what traditionally would be low-yield reserve management.

From cash drag to on-chain yield
The core issue Bitmine is addressing is how traditional treasuries manage volatility and yield in an uncertain macro environment. Cash reserves often earn minimal interest and steadily lose purchasing power to inflation, which can be particularly painful for large corporate balance sheets.

Ethereum offers an alternative that can generate rewards through staking, although it also introduces price volatility and protocol-specific risks. However, Bitmine’s approach does not stop at simply holding ETH as a macro bet. Instead, the firm is actively staking a portion of its holdings to earn protocol rewards while contributing to the network’s proof-of-stake consensus.

In practice, staking Ethereum involves locking tokens to validate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain and earn an estimated 3–5% annual yield denominated in ETH. Moreover, this yield is native to the protocol, unlike bond coupons, which depend on sovereign credit risk.

There are clear trade-offs. Staked assets may be locked for specific periods, and sharp price declines in ETH can compress the overall value of the treasury. In addition, institutional staking introduces operational risks such as potential slashing penalties if validators misbehave or remain offline for prolonged periods.

Under the hood: Bitmine Ethereum staking structure
Ethereum completed its transition to proof-of-stake (PoS) in 2022, formally moving away from proof-of-work mining. In PoS, validators stake ETH to secure the network and, in return, receive protocol rewards. Against this backdrop, Bitmine has deposited 74,880 ETH into the staking contract, valued at roughly $219 million, representing a major on-chain action following the buildup of its more than 4 million ETH treasury.

In a standard proof-of-stake configuration, validators typically stake at least 32 ETH to operate a validator node. The protocol then randomly selects validators to propose and attest to blocks, paying them in newly issued ETH plus priority fees. However, institutional players often rely on pooled staking services and professional validators to manage scale without operating every piece of infrastructure themselves.

Staking is capital-efficient but does introduce staking operational risks, including slashing for malicious activity and penalties for extended downtime. Bitmine’s total holdings represent about 3.37% of ETH’s circulating supply, which is a substantial position, yet still falls short of any obvious centralization thresholds from a network-governance standpoint.

For Bitmine, this design adds a recurring yield component that typical Bitcoin-focused treasuries do not enjoy. However, it also demands greater technical sophistication, given Ethereum’s smart contract ecosystem and more complex security surface.

Network effects, DeFi and institutional usage
At the protocol and developer level, staking activity secures the base layer that powers decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi protocols across the ecosystem. Moreover, validator participation helps maintain Ethereum’s censorship resistance and finality guarantees, which are core to its value proposition for builders and users.

For individual users, staking enables a form of passive income, either through operating personal validators or by joining liquid staking pools such as Lido or Rocket Pool. These pooled solutions abstract away infrastructure management while issuing liquid tokens that can be used in DeFi, though they concentrate some protocol and smart contract risk.

On the corporate side, companies employ staking as a treasury and risk management instrument and, in some cases, as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation. However, firms must also navigate evolving regulations and tax treatments, which can affect how staking rewards and on-chain activity are reported in financial statements.

Staking simultaneously reduces Ethereum’s energy footprint compared with legacy proof-of-work systems and supports scaling architectures like layer-2 networks, enabling faster and cheaper transactions. In this sense, the growth of validator participation from entities like Bitmine directly contributes to broader ecosystem resilience.

Understanding how Ethereum staking works in practice
From a mechanics perspective, ethereum staking requires locking ETH in validator contracts to help process and validate blocks. The protocol algorithmically selects validators, who must remain online, correctly sign attestations, and avoid malicious behavior. In return, they receive ETH-denominated rewards, forming the basis of long-term staking yield management strategies.

However, staking carries several layers of risk. Price volatility can erode the fiat value of a treasury even if on-chain ETH balances increase. Protocol changes, software bugs, or client diversity issues can also introduce technical risks. Institutions therefore follow institutional staking best practices, including diversified validator clients, rigorous monitoring, and clear incident response plans.

As a result, institutional crypto treasury design now often includes policies around validator selection, infrastructure redundancy, custody arrangements, and governance over when to stake, unstake, or rebalance exposures.

Educational action plan for new participants
Level 1 — Research and observation
For organizations or individuals considering a similar path, a structured educational plan can mitigate early mistakes. At the first level, participants should read Ethereum’s official documentation to understand PoS fundamentals and validator economics in detail.

Moreover, they can use block explorers such as Etherscan to track staking transactions, validator performance, and institutional wallet activity. It is also useful to study analytical dashboards and writings on PoS mechanics, including network statistics from platforms like Dune Analytics.

Level 2 — Testnet experimentation
The second stage involves experimentation on Ethereum testnets such as Sepolia or Holesky, where users can obtain testnet ETH from faucets without real financial exposure. This environment allows teams to simulate validator operations, configuration changes, and potential failure modes.

Participants can set up wallets like MetaMask and interact with staking contracts in a risk-free context. In addition, they can simulate pooled staking, track reward accruals over time, and use developer tools such as Remix IDE to interact directly with smart contracts and validate security assumptions.

Comparing treasury models: bonds, Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bitmine’s approach highlights how digital assets are being positioned alongside, rather than instead of, traditional fixed-income instruments. In a conventional structure, government bonds provide fixed interest with relatively low volatility, but they rarely outpace inflation over long horizons.

By contrast, a Bitcoin-focused treasury, such as Strategy’s widely cited 250K+ BTC position, relies primarily on price appreciation because it lacks a native yield mechanism. However, this can lead to pronounced earnings volatility and more binary outcomes during market cycles.

An Ethereum-focused treasury that leans on staking, as with Bitmine’s more than 4M+ ETH and recent $219M staked, combines protocol rewards in the 3–5% APR range with potential price upside. That said, it also introduces exposure to lock-up periods, slashing penalties, and smart contract-related risks that must be managed carefully.

For context, traditional treasury examples include Apple, which holds around $200B in cash equivalents, largely in short-term fixed-income products. Moreover, each of these models contributes differently to its underlying network or system, from supporting government debt markets to increasing BTC scarcity or directly securing Ethereum via validator participation.

Ethereum’s growing role in corporate finance
Bitmine’s $219 million ETH stake underscores Ethereum’s expanding role in institutional treasury planning and corporate finance. Staking introduces a native yield layer while simultaneously reinforcing network security, but participants must weigh that opportunity against market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and ongoing technical and operational risks around validator infrastructure and future protocol upgrades.

Hedera’s on-chain activity has picked up notably in recent sessions. Network performance data reflected a steady rise in usage, suggesting growing traction beyond short-term market fluctuations.

The token’s price action responded to this increase in activity, with HBAR recording a 4% daily gain.

On the testnet, Transactions Per Second recently climbed to 44, based on the latest data. Meanwhile, mainnet Transactions Per Second reached 100 just three days earlier.

Taken together, these developments pointed toward rising developer testing and the early stages of decentralized finance activity taking shape across the Hedera [HBAR] network.

New accounts and transactions move higher
Alongside the increase in Transactions Per Second, Hedera witnessed a notable surge in new account creation.

Over the last 24 hours, the number of new accounts rose sharply. In fact, Daily Trend data showed total new accounts climbing to 2,620, marking a 72.9% increase from the previous count of 1,515.

Source Hgraph

More importantly, transactions linked to these newly created accounts also increased. That suggested new users were actively engaging with the network, rather than simply joining and remaining inactive.

Holder count and TVL support the trend
Longer-term indicators continued to trend in the same direction.

The total number of HBAR holders has steadily increased over time and stood at approximately 4.6 million at the latest reading.

Source: Token Terminal

At the same time, Daily Network TVL rose by 2% in a single day, reaching $67.1 million. The previous reading stood near $65.8 million.

These movements suggested that capital continued to flow gradually into Hedera-based applications, reinforcing the broader rise in on-chain engagement.

Source: Hgraph

Price action reflects improving sentiment
HBAR also emerged as one of the day’s notable gainers after posting a moderate 4% price increase.

That move aligned with the improvement seen across on-chain usage metrics and expanding participation on the network.

While short-term price movements may remain uneven, the underlying data pointed more toward organic growth than speculative spikes. Usage activity, holder counts, and TVL have all moved higher in tandem.

Despite the Stochastic RSI entering overbought territory, sustained momentum could still matter. If HBAR manages a clean break above the $0.1161 resistance level, the next upside test could sit near $0.1452.

Final Thoughts

Hedera’s recent data suggested that usage growth, not short-term speculation, drove its latest momentum.
If activity continues to translate into sustained engagement, price reactions may follow more organically.

Summarize this article with:

For the time they promised it to us, this XRP rocket. Victory against the SEC? It’s done. Partnerships? Multiple. ETFs? Launched. And yet, Ripple’s crypto struggles to take off sustainably. What was supposed to be a fireworks show looks more like a damp fuse. Behind the nice announcements, the market speaks another language: that of disengagement. And the more days pass, the more the dream of “XRP to the moon” looks like a joke among nostalgic traders.

In brief

XRP climbs to $1.87 but its volume plunges sharply by 37% in 24 hours.
The RSI and Open Interest send worrying signals about the health of the XRP market.
The $1.80 mark becomes a critical tension zone, likely to accelerate a strong reversal.

XRP rising, but alone: when the market applauds silently
On the charts, XRP attempts a last stand. Between December 26 and 28, its price climbs up to $1.87, supporting a support at $1.86. One might believe in a recovery. But behind this rise hides a less flattering reality: transaction volume dropped by 37% in just 24 hours. A detail? Not really. Because in the crypto sphere, volume is the thermometer of conviction.

During festive periods, markets slow down, that’s true. But history shows that some assets take advantage of liquidity troughs to surprise. This is not the case for XRP. The rise of precious metals wasn’t enough to energize the crypto community, even less the Ripple traders.

This volume drop could well betray a growing disinterest or strategic fatigue. And when the action is discreet, it’s often because capital has fled. Far away. Toward projects perceived as more dynamic. The paradox? XRP rises… but alone. In an empty room, applause doesn’t resonate.

Under the surface, technical signals turn red 
Beyond bullish candles, the indicators send a very different message. The RSI, for example, displays a marked bearish divergence. Simply put: the price rises, but momentum weakens. No need to be an expert to understand that such imbalance often announces a sharp reversal.

Added to this is another worrying indicator: the Open Interest on Binance, dropped to $450 million. A low since November 2024. This figure reflects the number of derivative contracts still open. A drop of this magnitude? It signifies a massive disengagement of leveraged traders. Not a strategy. A flight.

Another hot spot: the $1.80 level, now a tension zone. Breaking this symbolic threshold downwards could trigger a cascade of automatic sales, reinforcing the bearish scenario. A true test of resilience for Ripple.

And in the rest of the crypto ecosystem? No better. Bitcoin plays hopscotch below $90,000, unable to break decisively. Altcoin season? On hold. And investors, they watch the horizon, finger on the “exit” button.

Crypto industry: from narrative dream to fundamentals discipline
Promises are no longer enough. In the crypto universe, hype doesn’t replace use cases. Coinbase summarized it well: we are entering a phase where real activity will weigh more than marketing stories. And in this new equation, projects like Ripple will have to prove more than press releases and ETF announcements.

The year 2025 had started well for XRP. Closure of the dispute with the SEC, strategic acquisitions, product launches. Even artificial intelligences – ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity – made their predictions. But over the months, momentum diluted. Technical supports gave way one by one. Optimism dwindled.

And this is not specific to XRP. Other cryptos, albeit robust, also struggle to rally crowds. Year-end volatility acts as a trust reveal. Or its absence.

Key figures to remember on XRP and the current situation

The XRP price trades at $1.91 at the time of writing;
Volume dropped by 37% in 24 hours, reaching $1.06 billion;
The RSI shows a bearish divergence on the weekly chart;
Binance Open Interest hits a low of $450 million;
The $1.80 threshold is considered a psychological pivot zone.

Crypto loves surprises, but at this year-end, fatigue seems to be affecting the troops. Meanwhile, even XRP ETFs, after 30 positive days, now record outflows. Seasonal fatigue or strategic repositioning? In any case, the timing is no coincidence. Once again, collective psychology precedes the charts.

Gold prices saw a modest short-term pullback after a broader rally that pushed the metal to record highs. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has underperformed during what has historically been its strongest quarter, reviving constant comparisons between the two assets.

Despite Bitcoin’s weakness, analysts are highlighting a series of macroeconomic, statistical, and technical signals from the gold market that suggest BTC may be approaching a bottom and could be setting the stage for its next major move.

2020 Playbook Returns as Gold and Silver Surge Ahead of BitcoinFrom a broader macroeconomic standpoint, analysts suggest that gold and silver typically reach their highs before Bitcoin follows. An analyst illustrated this pattern in detail through a post shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Following the March 2020 crash, the Federal Reserve pumped substantial liquidity into markets. The liquidity injection first sought safe havens.

Gold rallied from about $1,450 to $2,075 by August 2020. Silver jumped from $12 to $29. Over the same period, Bitcoin stayed around $9,000 and $12,000 for five months, as reported in an analysis by BullTheory.

“This was also after a major liquidation event which happened in March 2020 due to COVID,” the post read.

When precious metals peaked in August 2020, capital began shifting to risk assets. This rotation triggered Bitcoin’s surge from $12,000 to $64,800 by May 2021, representing a 5.5x gain. Furthermore, there was an eightfold increase in the total cryptocurrency market cap.

Currently, gold has hit record levels near $4,550, and silver has climbed to around $80. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has predominantly been trading sideways, exhibiting a pattern similar to that observed in mid-2020. BullTheory added that,

“We also had another large liquidation event recently on October 10th, similar to March 2020. And once again, Bitcoin has spent months moving slowly after that.”

The analyst argues that the Federal Reserve liquidity was the primary driver in 2020. Notably, in 2026, multiple catalysts are emerging.

These include renewed liquidity injections, expected rate cuts, potential SLR exemptions for banks, clearer crypto regulations, possible dividend checks under the Trump administration, expanded spot crypto ETFs, easier access for large asset managers, and a more crypto-friendly Fed leadership.

“Last cycle, Bitcoin rallied mainly because of liquidity. This time, liquidity plus structure is coming together. The setup looks very similar, but with more fuel. Gold and silver moving first is not bearish for crypto. Historically, it has been the early signal. If this pattern repeats, Bitcoin and crypto markets do not lead first. They move after the metals pause. That is why the current sideways action in BTC is not the start of the bear market, but rather a calm before the storm,” BullTheory remarked.

Statistical Decoupling Signals Crypto RalliesAnother key signal comes from Bitcoin’s correlation with gold and equities. Analyst PlanB noted that Bitcoin is significantly diverging from its historical correlation with both gold and stocks. A similar decoupling occurred when Bitcoin was trading below $1,000, before it went on to rally more than tenfold.

“This happened before, when BTC was below $1k, and resulted in a 10x pump,” PlanB wrote.

GOLD/BTC Ratio: A Market Bottom IndicatorFrom a technical angle, the BTC/GOLD ratio is also flashing a key signal. Macro strategist Gert van Lagen highlighted that the ratio’s RSI is touching a key downtrend line for the fifth time in history.

In past cycles, when this happened, it coincided with major bear market bottoms in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2022, each followed by Bitcoin regaining strength relative to gold and forming higher lows. If the pattern repeats, the current setup could indicate a similar turning point.

$BTC / #GOLD is hitting the purple downtrend on RSI for 5th time in history.

Thus, if these historical, statistical, and technical patterns hold, the current divergence may represent a transitional phase rather than sustained weakness, setting the stage for renewed upside for Bitcoin once precious metals pause and risk appetite returns.

Attention inside the Cardano ecosystem has quietly shifted — and not toward ADA itself. While the token’s price continues to lag, a newer, Cardano-linked project has captured the spotlight, forcing Charles Hoskinson to directly address an uncomfortable contrast between development momentum and market performance.

That contrast centers on Midnight ($NIGHT), a privacy-focused protocol connected to Cardano that has surged in visibility. Over the past week, $NIGHT climbed to the top of CoinGecko’s trending rankings, briefly drawing more attention than established giants like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. For Hoskinson, that moment was symbolic rather than surprising.

A project meant to reach beyond Cardano
Instead of framing Midnight as a distraction from ADA, Hoskinson portrayed it as a glimpse into Cardano’s next phase. He described the project as being at an early stage, but potentially transformative — not only for Cardano, but for the broader crypto ecosystem. In his view, Midnight’s privacy layer could act as connective tissue between major networks, enabling use cases that current DeFi systems struggle to support.

Hoskinson outlined scenarios where Midnight integrates with other blockchains. He suggested that pairing privacy-preserving smart contracts with XRP-based DeFi could open the door to financial services that rival traditional banking infrastructure. Linking similar capabilities to Bitcoin, he argued, could move the network closer to its original peer-to-peer ambitions. Within Cardano itself, he sees Midnight as a lever that could dramatically expand decentralized finance activity, potentially multiplying users, transactions, and total value locked through large-scale private DeFi. He characterized this shift as the arrival of a new “fourth generation” of blockchain design.

The question ADA holders keep asking
As Midnight gained traction, the Cardano community returned to a familiar frustration: ADA’s price. Despite years of development and a growing ecosystem, the token has struggled to regain momentum. When asked directly why ADA remains stagnant, Hoskinson did not point to Cardano’s fundamentals. Instead, he turned outward.

His explanation focused on the state of the broader crypto market. According to Hoskinson, years of scams, hacks, collapses, manipulation, and negative headlines have left investors exhausted and distrustful. He described the current environment as “broken, brittle, and angry,” arguing that markets in this state are slow to reward real progress. Confidence, he said, cannot be rushed and may take months to rebuild.

Where ADA stands today
From a market perspective, ADA’s chart reflects that hesitation. The token is still trading below $0.40, showing only modest short-term rebounds while remaining locked in a longer-term downtrend. Key resistance levels remain intact, and there are few technical signals pointing to a decisive reversal.

Hoskinson’s message suggests that price is not the immediate objective. His comments imply a deliberate shift away from chasing market cycles and toward laying foundations around privacy, interoperability, and regulated utility. Midnight’s rise, in that sense, is not meant to lift ADA overnight — but to signal where Cardano believes the next wave of blockchain adoption will come from.

For investors, the tension remains unresolved. ADA’s price action continues to test patience, while Cardano’s roadmap pushes deeper into infrastructure-first territory. Whether the market eventually rewards that strategy is still an open question.

After three straight months of selling pressure driven by unstaking, the Ethereum network is showing a positive signal. The staking entry queue has now surpassed the exit queue.

How do analysts interpret this shift? What could it mean for ETH’s price?

Why Could ETH Potentially Double When Unstaking Pressure Weakens?Ethereum’s entry and exit queues track ETH waiting to begin staking or to unstake.

Previously, analysts believed that selling pressure could intensify if the amount of ETH in the entry queue continued to rise.

ValidatorQueue data shows that the entry queue has exceeded the exit queue since September 10. This trend has now officially reversed the prior imbalance.

Currently, approximately 745,600 ETH are in the entry queue, while around 360,500 ETH remain in the exit queue.

Validator Queue (ETH). Source: Validator QueueAnalyst CryptoHuntz described the recent period as a “Great Migration” of ETH. This movement significantly contributed to ETH’s steady decline from $4,800 in early September to around $3,000 today.

“The Great Migration is over… finally, the selling pressure from the last three months is drying up. Demand to enter ETH staking is back in the driver’s seat. Nature is healing,” CryptoHuntz said.

Additionally, Abdul, Head of DeFi at Monad, provided a more optimistic outlook based on historical price behavior.

He estimated that around 5% of ETH’s supply, worth roughly $15 billion, has changed hands since July. He also projected that the validator exit queue could reach zero by January 3.

Abdul also noted that the last time the entry queue exceeded the exit queue was in June. ETH’s price doubled shortly afterward.

This observation suggests a similar scenario could unfold. ETH may recover from its current price zone of $3,000.

The outlook gains further support from a recent decision by Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine. BitMine holds the world’s largest ETH treasury, valued at around $12 billion, and has chosen to participate in staking.

BeInCrypto reported that BitMine deposited approximately 74,880 ETH, worth about $219 million, into Ethereum’s staking contract. This amount represents only a small portion of its total 4.07 million ETH holdings. The goal is to generate yield, which could reach $371 million per year if the entire balance were staked at a 3.12% APY.

Ethereum – Total Value Staked. Source: CryptoQuant.CryptoQuant data indicate that the total amount of ETH deposited by investors into protocols and contracts has remained relatively stable at around 36 million. This level has held since ETH peaked near $4,900. Despite the positive signals above, it remains too early to declare a shift away from the current sideways trend.

Moreover, this optimistic scenario may face headwinds. Several on-chain indicators suggest that selling pressure from US-based investors remains present.

Polkadot [DOT] has possessed a long-term bearish trend since March 2025. However, it has registered gains of 4.41% over the past week. This can be seen as good short-term performance, given the volatility around Bitcoin [BTC] and the fear prevalent across the crypto market.

Using multi-timeframe analysis to chart DOT’s trends

Source: DOT/USDT on TradingView

At the time of writing, the weekly trend of Polkadot was firmly bearish. The bearish structure breaks (orange) have been ongoing since September. The weekly swing structure has been bearish since March.

The A/D indicator showed steady selling pressure, and the Awesome Oscillator highlighted bearish momentum. The imbalance (white box) at $2.5 could be revisited as a supply zone before the next bearish leg on this timeframe.

Source: DOT/USDT on TradingView

The 4-hour chart underlined a bullish trend shift over the past week. Two bullish structural breaks were seen when the previous lower highs at $1.75 and $1.85 (cyan) were breached.

The A/D indicator was climbing higher, and the Awesome Oscillator showed bullish momentum in recent days. It appeared likely that the current H4 uptrend could take DOT’s price to the psychological $2-resistance level, and possibly even the $2.5 weekly supply zone.

The dangers for DOT bulls
The $90k-resistance zone has been a stern opposition to Bitcoin bulls in recent weeks. Despite booming liquidity, BTC traders have reason to remain cautious. This means that altcoins such as Polkadot might have a tough time rallying due to the lack of sustained demand.

The H4 and lower timeframe momentum were bullish at press time. However, that does not mean the higher timeframe trend will reverse. Long-term buyers should be wary of the prevailing bounce.

Traders’ call to action – Potential to profit from the bounce
Risk-averse traders can remain sidelined since the higher timeframe trend was bearish. The current H4 move looked likely to reach $2.11. The 30-day liquidation map underlined the heavy cumulative short liquidation leverage to the north.

This would be an attractive target for the price, since it gravitates towards liquidity. Traders can take profits at the $2.0-$2.1 area. A drop below $1.82 would be an invalidation of the long setup.

Final Thoughts

Polkadot’s short-term rally could be profitable for lower timeframe traders.
Investors should be wary of buying DOT in these conditions, as market-wide sentiment was fearful and demand was very light.

Token unlocks totaling over $585 million are scheduled for the week from December 29 to January 5, according to data from Tokenomist.

The releases include both large single cliff unlocks and daily linear vesting schedules across multiple projects. Hyperliquid and SUI lead the cliff unlock category with $251.19 million and $67.29 million, respectively, while RAIN and Solana dominate linear releases.

Hyperliquid and SUI lead cliff token unlocks
HYPE leads for this week, with 9.92 million tokens worth $251.19 million in cliff unlocks. This accounts for 2.59% of the project’s adjusted released supply. HYPE is also the biggest single unlock by value this week, at close to 43% of the total cliff unlock value.

SUI follows with 46.41 million tokens worth $67.29 million set for release. This unlock comprises 1.24% of SUI’s adjusted released supply. Cumulatively, the two projects account for token unlocks valued at $318.48 million.

Token unlock data: Tokenomist.
A total of 36.82 million EIGEN tokens are scheduled to be unlocked, worth $14.44 million. The unlock amount represents 9.74% of EIGEN’s adjusted released supply, which is the highest unlock percentage-wise among the top projects. KMNO has an unlock of 229.17 million tokens, worth $11.75 million, which accounts for 5.35% of its adjusted supply.

Optimism (OP) will unlock 31.34 million tokens with a worth of $8.66 million. The release is 1.65% of OP’s adjusted released supply. Ethena has 40.63 million tokens with a worth of $8.50 million scheduled for release, comprising just 0.56% of the supply. Zora will unlock 166.67 million tokens worth $7.15 million, accounting for 4.17% of adjusted supply.

RAIN and Solana dominate linear token unlocks
RAIN leads all linear unlocks with 9.43 billion tokens valued at $76.56 million set for daily release throughout the week. The unlock is the largest linear release by dollar value. RAIN’s scheduled releases exceed any individual cliff unlock except Hyperliquid and SUI.

Solana (SOL) follows with 484,670 tokens worth $61.62 million scheduled for gradual release. SOL’s linear unlock represents the second-largest by value.

TRUMP has 4.89 million tokens valued at $24.11 million scheduled for linear release. Worldcoin (WLD) will release 37.23 million tokens worth $18.94 million through daily vesting. The unlock continues WLD’s regular emission schedule throughout the week.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has 95.06 million tokens worth $11.89 million scheduled for release. Avalanche (AVAX) will release 700,000 tokens valued at $8.90 million through linear vesting.

Mid-tier projects face significant token unlocks
Several mid-tier projects face substantial unlocks relative to their circulating supply. EIGEN’s 9.74% unlock is the highest percentage among all scheduled releases.

Crypto exchange giant Coinbase is mapping out key themes for Bitcoin and crypto in 2026.

The firm just released a new market outlook report examining regulatory progress, technology trends and where markets may be heading next year.

The report details a cautiously optimistic US economy driven by AI productivity gains, alongside a meaningful regulatory shift with laws like the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and CLARITY Act for market structure.

Coinbase notes the rapid rise of institutional adoption through spot ETFs and digital asset treasuries (DATs), with tokenized products gaining as eligible collateral.

The firm expects privacy demand to rise via zero-knowledge proofs, while AI intersects crypto in agentic payments.

As for Bitcoin’s four-year cycles, Coinbase analysts say it’s losing relevance amid institutional flows.

However, quantum threats that can be dealt with loom in the long term, prompting mitigation to post-quantum cryptography.

Coinbase also highlights incoming Ethereum eyes upgrades like Fusaka for scalability and Glamsterdam for efficiency, while Solana eyes a shift from memecoins to proprietary AMMs and RWAs.

As for stablecoins, Coinbase says the collective market cap could hit $1.2 trillion by 2028, disrupting payments.

Meanwhile, tokenization could hit $18 billion, led by Treasuries and private credit.

Bitcoin price is eyeing a breakout from a consolidation pattern as buyers reclaimed control. At the same time, spot BTC exchange-traded funds have witnessed over $780 million in net outflows.

Summary

Bitcoin price reclaimed $90,000 level on Monday.
Renewed Russia-Ukraine tensions and rising BTC price speculation fueled the rebound.
A bullish symmetrical triangle pattern had formed on the 4-hour chart.

According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin (BTC) price fell from its $90,000 mark on Dec. 22 and subsequently slipped to as low as $86,740 by Christmas Eve. While bulls tried reclaiming the $90k level once again, they were cut short at a little over $89,000 on Friday and traded within the $87,000-$88,000 zone over the weekend.

Bitcoin price fell last week amid persistent outflows from its spot ETF funds, a reversal from significant inflows seen throughout most of the second and third quarters this year that had supported Bitcoin’s rally toward its all-time high of $126,080 in October.

Per data from SoSoValue, the twelve spot BTC ETFs witnessed $782 million in net outflows between Dec. 22 and Dec. 26, continuing the outflow trend that has seen $1.08 billion exit the investment products so far in December, and $3.48 billion in the previous month.

Such outflows signal that the long-term conviction from institutional traders remains weak and would likely continue to keep investor sentiment subdued.

Further, Bitcoin price was kept in check amid reduced expectations of Fed rate cuts for January and the following months, as recent comments from the Fed Chair and key officials indicated a more cautious stance around rate cuts.

Per data from Polymarket, the odds of a 25 basis point were at 13% at press time, while the odds of no change were at 87%.

On Monday, Dec. 25, BTC managed to recover back above $90,000 to a little over $90,200 briefly, before settling at $89,830 at press time.

Bitcoin’s uptick today appears to be driven by renewed geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday, which drove oil prices higher and subsequently prompted traders to move their capital into safe-haven assets, including Bitcoin, which is often seen as a digital hedge against uncertainty.

BTC price gains were also supported by an uptick in demand from derivative traders. Notably, short-term retail traders appear to be driving much of the recent activity.

Data from CoinGlass shows that the Bitcoin weighted funding rate has moved to one of its highest levels since October, a telltale sign that more investors are betting on further upside in Bitcoin price, at least in the short term.

Bitcoin futures open interest has also moved up 7% in the past 24 hours, a sign of more participants entering the market, which in turn could have a reinforcing effect on its prices.

Bitcoin price analysis
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin price action has been forming a symmetrical triangle since mid-November this year. While it tends to be a neutral formation, a breach of the upper trendline typically serves as a bullish trigger for sustained upside rallies.

At press time, bulls appear to have the technical advantage over the market. The Aroon Up reached 100% against an Aroon Down of 7.14%, marking a stark contrast and signaling much stronger buyer demand over selling pressure.

Additionally, the MACD lines have also moved above the zero line and are trending upwards, which further confirms a reversal of trend toward bullish momentum.

As such, traders will be closely watching the $90,975, which aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. A decisive break above the level with strong volume could confirm the pattern breakout and subsequently push its price to as high as $94,200, a level where bulls managed to reach earlier this month before receding.

While momentum favors the upside, a close below the $87,000 support zone would invalidate the immediate bullish thesis, potentially exposing Bitcoin to a retreat toward the $85,000 psychological level.

Bitcoin climbed to $90,200 at one stage late Sunday, a move analysts attributed mainly to technical factors rather than fresh catalysts.

deBridge founder Alex Smirnov called on validators to halt transactions until a remediation plan is put in place for affected users. Separately, Trust Wallet confirmed that malicious code embedded in its Chrome extension led to approximately $7 million in stolen assets across multiple blockchains, prompting the wallet provider to launch a formal compensation process. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said that all affected losses will be covered.

Flow Exploit Fallout GrowsAlex Smirnov, founder of cross-chain bridge provider deBridge, publicly urged validators on the Flow blockchain to halt transaction processing until a clear remediation plan is established for users affected by the network’s controversial rollback proposal. The call was made in the aftermath of a $3.9 million exploit that happened on Dec. 27, when an attacker took advantage of a vulnerability in Flow’s execution layer and siphoned funds off the network through multiple cross-chain bridges.

The rollback plan was introduced as an emergency response to the exploit, but triggered widespread concern across the Flow ecosystem. Smirnov warned that the rollback created confusion around user balances, particularly for those who bridged assets out of Flow during the affected window and now face the possibility of doubled or mismatched balances. As one of Flow’s primary bridge providers, deBridge was directly exposed to these inconsistencies, which led to Smirnov’s call for better transparency and coordination from the Flow Foundation.

Despite the appeal, Flow validators have not yet been able to respond. Blockchain data shows that Flow remained stalled at block height 137,385,824 since late Saturday night, even as the Flow Foundation indicated that the network was expected to restart within four to six hours. 

So far, the market reaction has been severe. The FLOW token dropped by roughly 42% since the exploit, according to data from CoinCodex. The controversy was further complicated by mixed messaging from ecosystem stakeholders. 

In October, Dapper Labs—the creator of Flow—said a revised recovery plan would eliminate the need for a rollback entirely, preserving legitimate user activity while restoring network operations. However, critics argue that the damage to confidence had already been done. Smirnov described the rollback decision as rushed and said ecosystem partners were not properly notified, and warned that rollbacks can cause cascading issues for bridges, custodians, exchanges, and users who acted in good faith.

Gabriel Shapiro, general counsel at Delphi Labs, criticized Flow’s approach by suggesting it effectively creates unbacked assets and shifts the burden of mitigation onto bridges and issuers. While Dapper Labs has insisted that no user balances—including its own treasury—were affected, skepticism remains.

Flow once attracted a lot of backing, and even secured $725 million in funding from firms including Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures. Today, however, the network has just $85.5 million in total value locked, and FLOW has slipped outside the top 300 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

Trust Wallet to Reimburse UsersAnother crypto-related company is trying to recover after a recent exploit. Trust Wallet announced the launch of a formal compensation process for users that were impacted by a recent security incident involving its Chrome browser extension, following the discovery of malicious code embedded in version 2.68 of the software. The issue was identified two days before the announcement, after reports surfaced that user funds were being drained shortly after an update released on Dec. 24.

Affected users are now able to submit claims through an official support form hosted on Trust Wallet’s website. The claims process requires users to provide details including their email address, country of residence, compromised wallet addresses, the attacker’s receiving addresses, and relevant transaction hashes. Trust Wallet said it is committed to compensating all users impacted by the incident.

According to Trust Wallet, roughly $7 million in digital assets were stolen across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that more than $4 million of the stolen funds had already been funneled through centralized exchanges like ChangeNOW, FixedFloat, and KuCoin.

Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, which acquired Trust Wallet in 2018, confirmed publicly that all losses would be covered. Zhao stated on X that user funds remain “SAFU.”

The incident was first flagged publicly on Christmas Day by on-chain investigator ZachXBT, who warned that multiple Trust Wallet users were reporting drained balances shortly after the Chrome extension update. Trust Wallet issued a fix in version 2.69 on Dec. 25. CEO Eowyn Chen later explained that users who accessed the extension before Dec. 26 at 11 a.m. UTC were potentially affected. 

The company’s investigation determined that a leaked Chrome Web Store API key was used to publish the compromised extension, bypassing internal release controls. Security firm SlowMist found that the malicious code harvested wallet seed phrases using a modified open-source analytics library. Trust Wallet confirmed that mobile app users and users of other browser extensions were not impacted.

AGNC Investments expects to continue paying its lucrative monthly dividend.

A sky-high dividend yield is often a warning sign that a company's dividend payment is unsustainable. However, that's not always the case.

AGNC Investment (AGNC +0.09%) currently yields over 13%, more than 10 times higher than the S&P 500's dividend yield of 1.1%. The real estate investment trust (REIT) has maintained its current monthly dividend payment for several years, a trend it expects will continue.

Image source: Getty Images.

The dividend remains in alignment
AGNC Investment currently pays its investors $0.12 per share a month. The mortgage REIT has paid that monthly rate since April 2020.

The REIT supports its monthly dividend by investing in Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), pools of mortgages guaranteed against credit losses by government agencies such as Fannie Mae. AGNC invests in Agency MBS on a leverage basis, primarily through repurchase agreements. This investment strategy increases its returns and risk profile.

AGNC Investment can maintain its dividend as long as its investment returns align with its cost of capital (dividend payments and operating costs). In the current environment, the REIT is earning a return on equity in the 16% to 18% range. Meanwhile, its cost of capital is currently up to around 17% after it issued new equity in the quarter. As a result, its dividend remains in alignment with its costs.

Further, the recent quarter marks what the company believes will be a low point for its earnings, which declined due to market conditions and the drag of issuing new equity during the quarter. It expects its earnings to improve in the future, enhancing the sustainability of its dividend.

While AGNC Investment is a higher-risk dividend stock, it believes it can continue to pay its current monthly dividend. That makes it one of the rare stocks with a 10%+ yield that actually pays these days.

Cardano and Solana, two of the most influential blockchain ecosystems, may be moving toward an unprecedented level of cooperation. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson have publicly agreed to explore the creation of a cross-chain bridge that would allow Cardano’s native token, ADA, to be usable on the Solana network for trading and decentralized finance applications. If implemented, such interoperability could unlock new liquidity opportunities, improve cross-chain DeFi activity, and reduce long-standing tribalism between blockchain communities.

Historically, the Solana and Cardano communities have been fierce rivals, often engaging in heated debates over scalability, performance, and decentralization. The rivalry intensified through repeated “ADA vs. SOL” comparisons across social media. However, Yakovenko recently signaled a change in tone on X, stating that fighting with Cardano or XRP is “bearish,” suggesting that hostility between ecosystems ultimately hurts the broader crypto market. When the idea of interoperability was raised, Yakovenko responded simply with, “Let’s do it,” to which Hoskinson replied, “Time to get cooking.”

Despite some last-minute bickering from prominent community members debating which blockchain is superior, the exchange between the founders marked a notable shift toward collaboration. A Cardano–Solana bridge could significantly expand cross-chain use cases, enabling ADA holders to tap into Solana’s fast-growing DeFi and trading ecosystem while fostering a more unified blockchain landscape.

At the same time, Hoskinson has drawn attention to another major development within the Cardano ecosystem: the rapid rise of the NIGHT token. NIGHT is the native asset of Midnight, a privacy-focused network built on Cardano. According to CoinGecko data, NIGHT’s 24-hour trading volume has surged to around $4 billion, outpacing both XRP and Solana’s SOL token during the same period. The token officially launched on December 8 and quickly became available on major centralized exchanges such as Kraken and Bybit, as well as multiple Cardano-based decentralized exchanges.

Hoskinson has described the launch as an “incredible success” and expressed confidence that Midnight could see substantial growth in total value locked and monthly active users. He argues that privacy-focused DeFi applications, including private DEXs, stablecoins, and prediction markets, address some of the biggest pain points in decentralized finance. Together, the bridge discussions and Midnight’s momentum highlight a potentially transformative phase for Cardano, Solana, and the wider crypto ecosystem.
