#CryptoNewYear
2025 Bitcoin highlights ๐ช
โข Set new ATH near $126K ๐
โข Historic crash Oct 10โ11: ~$19B+ liquidated after tariff shock๐ช
โข #BTC briefly dipped below $100K as risk-off hit markets
โข Institutional M&A & ETF flows reshaped markets๐ฆ
2025 was loud โ 2026 could be legendary๐
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded nearly $900M in outflows in just four trading days ๐
From Dec 22โ26, spot #Bitcoin ETFs lost $782M โ the largest weekly outflow since late November โ while #Ethereum ETFs saw $100M+ exit for a second week in a row.

๐งต Thread: Whatโs Going On with $PIPPIN โ AI Meme Rocket or Market Mirage? ๐ฆ๐ฅ
#PIPPIN has been one of the most explosive tokens in late 2025, blending AI agent meme culture with #Solanaโs speed and liquidity. Despite a broader market slump, itโs been one of the few tokens moving strongly โ but thereโs more beneath the surface ๐
๐ Why Bitcoin is lagging behind gold & silver โ CryptoQuantโs take
CryptoQuant says the market is stuck in a post-correction consolidation phase, with momentum still tilted slightly downward ๐. While gold and #silver have rallied steadily over the past three months, #Bitcoin has mostly moved sideways โ and thereโs a reason for that divergence.
๐ก Risk-off flows matter.
Geopolitical uncertainty, expectations of lower real rates, and easier institutional access have pushed capital into traditional safe havens like #gold and silver. Bitcoin, by contrast, is still treated largely as a risk asset, not a true shelter when uncertainty rises.
๐ฅ Silverโs outperformance also adds fuel, supported by tighter supply and higher sensitivity to speculative flows.
๐ On-chain signals reinforce the picture: visible #BTC demand recently slipped into negative territory, suggesting no fresh demand expansion despite prices holding relatively high levels. At the same time, short-term holders are exiting near breakeven or at a loss, increasing sell pressure on rebounds.
โ๏ธ Base case: defensive assets stay supported, while Bitcoinโs upside remains capped until demand clearly turns positive again. If that shift happens, the narrative could change fast.

๐ธ Over $1.1B flowed out of spot Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs in a single week
Between Dec 15โ19, investors pulled $497M from #Bitcoin ETFs and $644M from #Ethereum ETFs, according to SoSoValue ๐
The largest pressure came from major funds like IBIT on the #BTC side and ETHA (BlackRock) on the #ETH side โ signaling broad risk reduction rather than isolated moves.
Interestingly, capital didnโt leave crypto entirely ๐
While BTC and ETH saw heavy outflows, altcoin ETFs attracted fresh inflows:
โก๏ธ XRP: $82M
โก๏ธ Solana: $66.5M
โก๏ธ Chainlink: $3.6M
Even in Hong Kong, flows showed rotation โ BTC out, SOL in ๐๐
After last weekโs strong $490M inflow, this sharp reversal highlights how fast sentiment can shift. The takeaway? This looks less like capitulation and more like capital rotation and short-term repositioning, with investors selectively chasing relative strength instead of exiting the market altogether โ๏ธ

US traders are selling, but Bitcoin still looks undervalued โ CryptoQuant ๐ง ๐
The Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped to -57, signaling strong selling pressure from U.S.-based investors ๐บ๐ธ๐ธ
At the same time, on-chain data tells a different story. CryptoQuant points to the NVT Golden Cross, which compares Bitcoinโs market cap to real network activity. When the short-term NVT falls well below its long-term trend, it historically signals undervaluation ๐โ๏ธ
In this cycle, the indicator plunged to -0.58, one of the lowest readings ever, suggesting price has lagged fundamentals. It has since recovered to -0.32, hinting at gradual rebalancing โ but still within discount territory โ๏ธ
According to analysts, this setup often aligns with accumulation phases and healthier price discovery, even as short-term sellers dominate ๐

๐งต Thread: Midnight ($NIGHT) โ Privacy Focus, Massive Airdrop & Turbulent Debut ๐

๐ Crypto Market Review โ Dec 17, 2025
U.S. unemployment rose to 4.6% (vs 4.5% exp.), reinforcing expectations of further rate cuts ahead.
On the adoption front, Visa enabled U.S. banks to settle USDC on #Solana via Circle โ a major institutional win for crypto infrastructure ๐ฅ
Yet price action stayed brutal and erratic.
Over $313M in positions were liquidated in 24h as BTC whipped violently:
๐ +$4,300 in 30 min โ $106M shorts wiped
๐ -$4,400 in 45 min โ $52M longs liquidated
Daily performance:
๐ป $BTC -1.7%
๐ป $ETH -4.3%
๐ป $SOL -4.1%
๐ป $XRP -3.2%
๐ป $ADA -4.7%
๐ป $DOGE -4.3%
๐ป $BNB -3.4%
โ Why is BTC falling while institutions keep buying?
Because this is not a demand problem โ itโs a supply one.
Chinaโs renewed pressure on #Bitcoin mining has pushed hash rate down ~8%, a material shock given China still controls ~14% of global hash power. Historically, these events trigger forced selling, not discretionary selling.
Two sources dominate the pressure:
1๏ธโฃ OG Asian holders โ on-chain data shows increased long-term distribution over the past 1โ2 months
2๏ธโฃ Miner capitulation โ shutdowns force #BTC reserve sales regardless of price
Flow data confirms it:
โข Asian exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX) โ steady net spot selling
โข Coinbase (U.S. flows) โ continued net buying
๐งญ Conclusion:
BTC can trend lower even amid billion-dollar institutional demand when legacy supply is being redistributed. This isnโt panic โ itโs structural supply transfer. Price typically stabilizes only once that pressure exhausts.

Crypto got shaken hard in the last 24 hours ๐ช๏ธ๐
โข 183,541 traders liquidated
โข Total liquidations: $599.44M
โข Largest single hit: $11.58M #BTCUSDT on Binance
Breakdown:
๐ข Longs: $500.44M wiped
๐ด Shorts: $98.94M wiped
This all happened after Fed started cutting rates โ a reminder that macro cross-currents still matter. While U.S. policy is easing, Japan is moving the other way by raising rates, draining global liquidity at the margins.
Result?
โ ๏ธ Bitcoin slipped below $86K, triggering a cascade of long liquidations.
Macro tug-of-war is real. Liquidity givethโฆ and taketh away.

The Fed just delivered one of its most quietly bullish pivots in years ๐โก๏ธ๐โจ
Todayโs FOMC wasnโt just another 25 bps cut โ it signaled a broader turn toward easier conditions. The headline: 3 cuts in a row + $40B in T-bill purchases starting Dec 12. Theyโre not calling it stimulusโฆ but markets will feel it.
A few key takeaways:
โข๐งพ Fed will buy $40B in T-bills over the next month, with elevated purchases expected afterward
โข๐ Labor market judged weaker than reported โ job gains overstated by ~60k
โข๐ Growth expected to improve next year (ISM likely > 50)
โข๐ Rate decisions now โmeeting to meeting,โ no preset path
โข๐งฏ No one at the Fed is treating rate hikes as a realistic scenario
โข๐ช More cuts than hikes in the projections
Put together, this looks like the early stage of a shift toward looser financial conditions, even if the Fed wonโt call it QE. Liquidity is slowly coming back โ and crypto thrives on liquidity.
Short-term volatility stays, but the medium-term setup is getting clearer:
The policy environment is becoming more supportive for risk assets.
If inflation prints cooperate, this pivot could be the spark for bigger moves ahead ๐ฅ๐
#FOMC #Fed #Powell #Macro #Bitcoin #CryptoMarkets #Liquidity #RiskAssets
Tom Lee is floating a bold scenario where #Ethereum could climb toward $62K in the months ahead ๐๐ฅ
Big callโฆ but in #crypto, never say never.
What do you think โ realistic target or pure hopium? ๐ค๐ญ
