The flagship cryptocurrency in the market, Bitcoin, continues its year-end upward trend, breaking through 128 million Korean Won. Bitcoin, which has risen 1.5% in 24 hours and broke out of the range in mid-December, has gained upward momentum. Despite decreased trading volume and reduced volatility, Bitcoin remains stable. Dragonfly's Hashib Kureši predicts that Bitcoin's price could rise above 150 million Korean Won by the end of 2026, but also notes that its market dominance may weaken. Spot Bitcoin ETF experienced an outflow of approximately 1.1 trillion Korean Won, and experts analyze that the end-of-year tax optimization strategies for loss realization are the reasons for the capital withdrawal. Ethereum rebounded from the $2800 support level, breaking through 4.3 million Korean Won, with a 1.8% increase in 24 hours. Over the past month, spot Ethereum ETFs saw an outflow of about 612 billion Korean Won, with a single-day net outflow of 9.6 billion Korean Won on December 29.

Key Notes US spot XRP ETFs recorded $8.44 million in daily total net inflows on December 29. Its cumulative net inflows have now surged to $1.15 billion. XRP price is still struggling to hit $2 despite the ETF outperformance. A turbulent December was not strong enough to disrupt the

Christmas and New Year holidays are approaching, and the cryptocurrency market seems to have already entered a "hibernation mode." US Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs collectively lost value on Tuesday, mainly due to year-end asset rebalancing and liquidity tightening before the long holiday, with profit-taking selling pressure clearly increasing. According to SoSoValue data, the US Bitcoin spot ETF experienced a net outflow of $188.6 million on Tuesday, marking the fourth consecutive day of withdrawals. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT suffered the heaviest outflow, with a net outflow of $157.3 million in a single day; Fidelity's FBTC and Grayscale's GBTC also could not escape.

Last week in the market, BTC and ETH stabilized amid fluctuations, with ETH's rebound being stronger than BTC. On-chain capital inflow was primarily into Ethereum, while L2 networks experienced net outflows. The growth in crypto payment card transactions reflects application trends amid market caution.

Article by: Glendon, Techub News After briefly climbing above $90,000 yesterday, Bitcoin fell below $87,000 again today, with a intraday decline of 3.76%. Meanwhile, the crypto market has once again experienced a broad decline. According to SoSoValue data, no major sector in the market was spared, with 24-hour declines generally exceeding 3%. Among them, SocialFi, Layer2, AI, RWA, and NFT sectors were hit hardest, each dropping more than 5%. In terms of institutional investment, CoinShares' latest data shows that digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of approximately $446 million last week, bringing the total outflow since October 10 to $3.2 billion. Additionally, last week, Bitcoin spot

According to data from SoSoValue, on December 29th, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net outflow of $19.29 million, reflecting investors' cautious sentiment as the market enters the end-of-year period. Notably, the Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) still led in inflows for the day, with

XRP Shows Contradictory Trends: In December, ETF net inflows reached $424 million, but the price dropped 15%, making it one of the bottom ten. Institutions locked hundreds of millions of coins into cold wallets, reducing circulation and creating a "spring-like" supply mechanism. Retail investor sentiment is pessimistic, but the Canary XRP ETF has raised $300 million, with institutions mechanically increasing holdings. Once the supply black hole encounters renewed demand, prices may rebound sharply.

As 2025 comes to a close, XRP prices are under pressure at the end of the year, currently hovering around $1.87, with a total decline of 9.7% for the year. However, beneath the market's apparent weakness, there are underlying currents: on one hand, institutional funds have shown remarkable confidence, with a total inflow of $3.3 billion this year, and their spot ETF products have set a record for "zero net outflow days" since launch; on the other hand, long-term holders have shifted to continuous selling in the fourth quarter, posing risks for the 2026 trend. Market analysis suggests that XRP may continue to fluctuate in early 2026, and a clear macro catalyst is needed to establish a direction. The true bullish signal will require the price to stay steadily above $3.00.

According to ichaingo data, the US Bitcoin spot ETF experienced a net outflow of approximately $19.3 million yesterday, marking the seventh consecutive day of net outflows. The specific inflow and outflow situations for ETFs such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark & 21Shares, and Invesco vary, with most ETFs showing no significant fund movements for now.

Decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid's core development organization Hyperliquid Labs plans to distribute approximately 1.2 million HYPE tokens to its team members on January 6, 2026. Based on the current price of about $26, the total value amounts to up to $31.2 million. This is the second monthly distribution the team has received under a linear unlock schedule since the token's initial distribution in November 2024. Despite competition from emerging rivals like Lighter and Aster, Hyperliquid recorded a net capital inflow of $3.87 billion and an astonishing total trading volume of $2.95 trillion in 2025, maintaining its top position in decentralized perpetual contract trading volume. Although this unlock is part of an established plan, its market impact should not be underestimated given the circulating supply of only about 238 million tokens.

XRP is closing out 2025 with one of the most paradoxical pictures in the crypto market: institutional inflows reaching a record high while price movements are among the weakest. According to data from CoinShares, XRP-related investment products attracted approximately $70.2 million in net inflows during the week.

According to the latest fund flow report released by CoinShares, digital asset investment products experienced a net outflow of $446 million last week, bringing the total net outflow since mid-October to $3.2 billion. However, the market is not entirely bleak; newly approved XRP and Solana exchange-traded funds demonstrated strong capital attraction, with $70.2 million and $7.5 million in inflows respectively, contrasting sharply with the continued redemptions of Bitcoin and Ethereum products. This significant divergence among assets reveals that institutional funds are strategically rotating during market adjustments, shifting from mature mainstream assets to alternative assets with event-driven potential. Although the overall capital inflow since the beginning of the year remains at $46.3 billion, the assets under management have only increased by 10%, indicating limited actual gains for retail investors after net flows are accounted for, and market sentiment remains fragile.

The domestic stock market performed poorly, with both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices declining. Retail investors had net buy-ins, but foreign and institutional investors both net sold. The Korean won exchange rate and gold prices also declined, and the overall market trend remains weak.

The Japanese government recently announced the "2026 Tax System Reform Outline," one of the measures most closely watched by the crypto industry is the significant adjustment of the taxation method for cryptocurrency gains. In the future, income from crypto asset investments will be taxed at a flat rate of 20%, aligning with stocks and investment trusts, officially ending the long-standing high tax rate of up to 55%. Japan's Cryptocurrency Tax Rate Was Once the Highest in the World Currently in Japan, cryptocurrency gains are classified as "miscellaneous income" and must be combined with the individual's comprehensive income tax (Source: Japan Handbook). Under the highest tax bracket, including local taxes, investors' actual tax burden can reach up to 55%, making it one of the most stringent cryptocurrency tax systems among major global economies. This system not only discourages high-net-worth investors but also leads many Japanese crypto startups and trading volumes to flow overseas. The Japanese government plans to incorporate cryptocurrencies into the new regulatory

Author: André Beganski, Decrypt Translation: Felix, PANews This year, with the US SEC adopting new regulatory approaches to cryptocurrency products, ETFs have opened multiple doors for the crypto market on Wall Street.

Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, the cumulative net inflow has reached $57.7 billion, a 59% increase within the year; spot Ethereum ETFs have also attracted $12.6 billion in funds.

Written by: Sofia Chierchio Translated by: Lemin Source: Forbes Elon Musk's pursuit of a trillion-dollar fortune is no longer just talk. At the beginning of the year, his net worth was $421 billion. By October, he became the first person in history to surpass $500 billion. Subsequently, the rocket manufacturer SpaceX launched a share sale plan, with a valuation reaching approximately $800 billion, making Musk the first person in history to have a net worth of over $600 billion. Soon after, a court in Delaware ruled that Musk could retain the massive stock option awards previously canceled by Tesla, which made him the world's first person to have a net worth exceeding $700 billion last Friday.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview - BTC (-0.34% | Current price 87,371 USDT): In the past 24 hours, BTC experienced a clear correction first, with the price dropping rapidly to around 86,418.2 USD, then gradually stabilizing supported by buying interest below and beginning a rebound. During the rebound, the price once surged to around 88,590 USD, but after encountering selling pressure at the high level, it turned into a oscillating decline. Currently, the price has fallen back to above 87,000 USD. From an overall structure perspective, BTC remains in a technical adjustment phase within a high-level oscillation. The key support zone below is between 86,800–87,000 USD.

Cryptocurrency Asset Panorama BTC (-0.34% | Current price 87,371 USDT) In the past 24 hours, BTC first experienced a significant correction, with the price rapidly dropping to around $86,418.2. Subsequently, supported by buying interest below, it gradually stabilized and began to rebound. During the rebound, the price once surged to around $88,590, but after encountering selling pressure at high levels, it turned into a sideways decline. Currently, the price has fallen back to above $87,000. From an overall perspective, BTC remains in a technical adjustment phase within a high-level consolidation.

According to CryptoQuant Binance Exchange ETH Netflow indicator data, during the Christmas period (December 24 to 26), a large amount of ETH flowed into Binance, totaling over 140,000 coins, marking the highest value recorded this year. After this peak, ETH inflow slowed down but continued to show persistent inflow. Such one-time large-scale inflows are usually interpreted as investors preparing to sell ETH spot holdings. Looking more closely at the trend of the Netflow indicator's moving averages, the EMA(7) and EMA(14) are trending upward, while the SMA(30) remains stable. This structural signal indicates that short-term selling intentions are increasing, and investors seem ready to sell when the price rises to resistance levels. Since each upward move may face selling pressure, it is expected

In Q4 2025, XRP is experiencing its most severe test since 2022, with a quarterly decline of up to 35%, potentially ending the previous five consecutive quarters of gains. On-chain data shows that its daily active accounts have dropped to 14,636, indicating a sharp decline in retail participation. However, the market is also brewing a turnaround amid "extreme fear": the US XRP spot ETF demonstrates strong institutional support, recording net inflows for 27 consecutive trading days, totaling over $1.14 billion; at the same time, cooling inflation in Japan has weakened the yen, sparking "arbitrage trading" flows into cryptocurrencies and other risk assets, providing key short-term support for XRP. Amid fierce battles between bulls and bears, $2.0 has become the "decisive factor" in determining XRP's short-term trend direction.
