🔊Weekly Market Highlights #179: December 1 - December 7, 2025

✨The crypto market entered December on shaky footing, with BTC slipping back under $90K as hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data triggered a fresh wave of liquidations. While China reaffirmed its hardline stance against crypto, institutional activity remained strong - from Vanguard opening access to crypto ETFs to legacy “Satoshi-era” wallets moving for the first time in 13 years. Despite the volatility, major firms and funds continued accumulating BTC and altcoins, signaling resilient long-term conviction.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$13B (from ~$3072B to ~$3059B).

✨BTC Drops Back Below $90K
✅The new month opened on a sour note for BTC. After clawing its way back above $91K following November’s crash, sellers returned aggressively on Monday, sending BTC tumbling to just under $84K in a sharp intraday flush.

✅BTC rebounded almost immediately, reclaiming $90K by Tuesday and pushing higher through the week, attempting to break $94K multiple times. Each attempt failed, and BTC slipped back into the $91K - $92K zone.

✅Momentum shifted again on Friday as hotter-than-expected US PCE and Core PCE data reignited risk-off sentiment. Bears seized control, knocking BTC down to $88K within minutes and triggering over $500M in market-wide liquidations.

✅Although BTC has bounced slightly since, it remains below $90K at the time of writing.

✨Featured News
🇨🇳China Reaffirms Total Crypto Ban
China’s central bank has reiterated that all crypto-related activities - trading, issuance, payments, and mining - remain strictly illegal in the country. Authorities also singled out stablecoins as high-risk assets that fail to meet AML/KYC standards and pose dangers for cross-border transactions. Beijing’s stance is unchanged: crypto has no legal status in China, and enforcement will continue.

💎Vanguard Opens Access to Crypto ETFs
🔒Vanguard has reversed its long-held stance and will now allow clients to trade crypto-backed ETFs, including funds tied to BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL. The move signals growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets through regulated investment products.

💰Two Casascius Coins Holding 2,000 BTC Move After 13 Years
🔒Two physical Casascius coins containing a total of 2,000 BTC were moved on-chain for the first time since 2012. The long-dormant coins, each loaded with 1,000 BTC, suddenly became active after 13 years, surprising blockchain analysts.

🔒Casascius coins were an early form of physical Bitcoin, discontinued in 2013 due to U.S. regulatory pressure. The movement of such “Satoshi-era” coins is rare and often sparks speculation about early adopters returning or reorganizing their wallets.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #180: December 8 - December 14, 2025

✨It was a choppy week for crypto, with BTC failing to hold above $90K despite a Fed rate cut and renewed optimism early on. Market sentiment weakened further as macro and regulatory headlines dominated the narrative.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$41B (from ~$3059B to ~$3018B).

✨BTC Losing the $90K Support?
✅BTC kicked off the week with renewed optimism ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC meeting. A day before the Fed’s final policy decision of 2025, BTC surged sharply, rallying to a multi-week high just above $94,5K.

✅The move briefly stalled, but bulls made another attempt on Wednesday after the Fed delivered a 25 bps rate cut. That breakout quickly faded, however, as BTC lost momentum and dropped below $89,5K. A rebound on Thursday pushed the price back to $93,6K, only for sellers to step in again on Friday, driving BTC below $90K.

✅While buyers managed to defend the $90K level on Saturday, lifting BTC to around $90K, bearish pressure has persisted into Sunday, with BTC once again trading just under this key support.

🇺🇸Trump’s National Security Strategy Omits Bitcoin & Blockchain
President Trump’s newly released 2025 National Security Strategy lists key future technologies like AI and quantum computing, but does not mention Bitcoin, blockchain, or digital assets at all, despite his past pro-crypto rhetoric. This omission suggests that, for now, digital assets are not considered a core national security priority in the official policy framework, raising questions about how seriously the administration views crypto’s strategic role.

⭐️Do Kwon Sentenced to 15 Years in U.S. Prison

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #181: December 15 - December 21, 2025

✨The crypto market saw another volatile but relatively contained week, with total market capitalization slipping slightly as BTC struggled to regain upside momentum. BTC briefly tapped $89K after a sharp midweek sell-off and rebound cycle, reflecting ongoing macro sensitivity and fragile sentiment.

✨Despite price uncertainty, regulatory pressure eased in parts of DeFi, new on-chain products launched, and institutional players continued accumulating BTC and altcoins - highlighting a clear contrast between short-term volatility and long-term conviction.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$15B (from ~$3018B to ~$3003B).

✨BTC Briefly Touches $89K
✅The past week delivered the volatility many had expected. BTC kicked things off on Monday with a sharp sell-off, sliding from $90K to below $86K in just a few hours. A modest rebound to $88K followed, before BTC staged a midweek push on Wednesday, briefly climbing to $90.4K.

✅That breakout quickly failed, as bears stepped back in and dragged the price down to under $85.5K. On Thursday, softer-than-expected U.S. CPI data for November sparked another rally, sending BTC up to $89.5K, but once again the move was rejected.

✅The pullback that followed pushed Bitcoin to a multi-month low around $84.5K. Still, buyers returned for a relief bounce on Friday, lifting BTC back to $89.5K. Although it stalled there, Bitcoin has mostly held above $88K, briefly tapping $89K.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #182: December 22 - December 28, 2025

✨The crypto market closed out the year with a quiet but cautious week, as total market capitalization edged lower amid holiday-thinned liquidity. Bitcoin remained range-bound, repeatedly failing to reclaim the $90K level and consolidating below key resistance as traders stayed sidelined ahead of 2026.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$18B (from ~$3003B to ~$2985B).

✨BTC Stopped at $89.5K
✅BTC experienced a choppy and directionless week, as holiday-thinned liquidity kept volatility muted. BTC opened the week trading around $88K, but selling pressure soon pushed the price lower, briefly testing the $856K area amid cautious market sentiment following recent macro-driven swings.

✅In the second half of the week, BTC staged a modest technical rebound, climbing back toward the $88K - $90K range. However, each attempt to break above the key psychological $90K level was rejected, highlighting a lack of strong follow-through from buyers.

✅Overall, BTC ended the week range-bound with a slight recovery bias, continuing to consolidate below major resistance. The price action suggests the market is largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of the new year, with participants looking for clearer signals as 2026 approaches.
