Bitcoin fluctuated around $87,800 on Wednesday, failing to reach $90,000 earlier in the week. The market is focused on Thursday's Federal Reserve minutes for clues on interest rate cuts.

The speech took place after a meeting with Ripple executives, and Ripple has donated millions of dollars to the inauguration fund.

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.

Once the supply black hole encounters renewed demand, prices may rebound sharply.

Economist Henrik Zeberg warns that the global markets are approaching a dangerous blow-off top phase. The S&P 500 has surged 900% since 2009, with US market capitalization reaching 225% of GDP, surpassing the peaks of 1929 and 2000. This prosperity is built on the credit bubble created by zero interest rates and QE after 2008, with productivity and real growth lagging behind, signaling a severe correction marking the end of the post-2008 monetary era.

Peter Schiff, the perennial crypto critic and gold evangelist, has seized upon Bitcoin's recent rally above 90,000 dollars to issue a fresh, stark warning: sell. His latest salvo is part of a decades-long ideological campaign that pits "sound money" like gold against what he derides as Bitcoin's intrinsic valuelessness.
Beyond the market commentary, Schiff finds himself in a public feud with Wikipedia, accusing the platform of hosting defamatory claims about his past business dealings. This m

Christmas holiday, social media buzzes about a bank collapse in the United States due to a silver trading crash. The truth is that CME increased silver margin requirements on December 26, triggering approximately $675 million in margin calls.

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb predicts that by 2026, Bitcoin will break through $150,000, but market share will decline, indicating a period of performance for altcoins.

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.

Cantor Fitzgerald warns that Bitcoin has entered a long-term downturn, having been above the high point for 85 days, and may test MicroStrategy's cost basis at $75,000. However, institutional adoption rates are surging against the trend, with RWA tokenization value increasing to $18.5 billion this year and expected to break $50 billion by 2026. DEX expansion and the CLARITY bill provide regulatory clarity, and the market is now dominated by institutions rather than retail investors, marking the industry’s move into an institutionalized phase.
