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. On the other hand, Ethereum spot ETFs also recorded a net outflow of $95.5 million on Tuesday, compared to a net outflow of $84.6 million the previous day.

Subsequently, supported by buying interest below, it gradually stabilized and began to rebound.

Techub News reports that Solana ecosystem DeFi protocol Solstice tweeted that the secondary market for the stablecoin USX will experience significant fluctuations, but the net asset value of the underlying assets and Solstice custody assets remain unaffected, with a collateralization ratio exceeding 100%. The team has requested a third-party to immediately provide an additional certification report, which will be released as soon as it is completed. Solstice stated that this is purely a liquidity issue in the secondary market, and the team and market makers are taking immediate steps to address it. They will continue to inject liquidity into the secondary market to ensure market stability. The 1:1 redemption in the primary market remains fully available. According to PeckShield monitoring, the stablecoin USX briefly de-pegged and, due to liquidity exhaustion, fell to $0.10 in the secondary market. After Solstice injected liquidity, the exchange rate gradually

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.

On December 16, Elon Musk, with a net worth of $749 billion, announced the resumption of funding for the Republican Party, returning after a six-month break from breaking ties with Trump. The 2026 midterm elections are approaching, with the Republican advantage being slight and lagging behind the Democratic Party in funding. Musk gains three major benefits: Tesla's new energy subsidies, SpaceX government contracts, and the passage of autonomous driving legislation. The two sides broke apart in May over the "Beautiful Bill," reconciled in September, and then the EU fines facilitated a trench warfare community.

Over the past two weeks, Ethereum spot ETFs have experienced continuous outflows, with only one trading day recording net inflows, putting significant pressure on Ethereum's price around the $3,000 mark. However, underlying market currents are shifting: on-chain data shows a notable decrease in long-term holder selling activity, indicating that market confidence is quietly rebuilding; at the same time, funds are rotating from the Bitcoin perpetual contract market into Ethereum, with its relative strength injecting new variables into the market. Technical analysis suggests that the effective defense of the $2,798 support level and the reclaiming of the $3,000 psychological barrier will be key battles in determining Ethereum's short-term trend direction.

Vitalik on Christmas Eve called Grok a "net improvement" for the X platform, highlighting a new debate on AI bias governance (Background: Musk xAI collaborates with El Salvador to launch the world's first "National AI Education Program": one million students use Grok as personal tutors) (Additional context: Musk calls on Grok to challenge the strongest human LOL team next year: if successful, it will prove a substantial breakthrough in AGI development) On Christmas night 2025, controversy in Silicon Valley flared up, with fierce clashes between left and right on social media platforms. At this most concentrated moment of information bubbles, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rarely endorses Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, believing that even with frequent errors, it still injects valuable "sincerity" into the X platform.

On the 26th, the Korean stock market overall rose, with the KOSPI index up 0.76%, foreign and institutional investors net buying, and individual investors in a net selling position.

Bitcoin briefly returned above the 90,000 level at the beginning of the month but failed to continue its upward momentum. It is currently consolidating with slight fluctuations, showing a range-bound trend. The spot ETF market for Bitcoin is sending chills, experiencing net outflows for the fifth consecutive trading day, indicating that institutional investors are choosing to exit cautiously before the year-end holiday. BlackRock IBIT had a single-day net outflow of 91.37 million USD. According to data from SoSoValue, on December 24th (Eastern Time), the total net outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs reached 175 million USD.

The US ETF market in 2025 set a historic "triple crown" record, with a net capital inflow of up to $1.4 trillion, over 1,100 new products launched, and a total trading volume of $57.9 trillion. However, beneath this prosperity, the crypto asset ETFs are experiencing a fierce rotation of funds. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs faced significant outflows in December, totaling over $1.1 billion; in stark contrast, newly launched XRP and Solana ETFs continued to attract funds, with XRP ETF setting an astonishing record of 28 consecutive trading days of net inflows. This phenomenon clearly indicates that beyond the grand narrative of ETFs, institutional investors are becoming more and more selective, shifting their focus from mere "digital gold" to crypto assets with clear regulation and real-world utility. The structural shift in the market may have quietly begun.

Recently, XRP price movement has entered a technical weakness, recording a fourth consecutive trading day decline on December 24, closing near $1.86, a significant retracement from the July all-time high of $3.66. In stark contrast to the price weakness, its spot ETF has demonstrated remarkable institutional absorption capacity, with 28 consecutive days of net capital inflows since its listing in November, totaling $1.13 billion. This divergence of "price falling, funds flowing in" reveals a deep contradiction between short-term profit-taking pressure and medium- to long-term structural optimism in the market. Looking ahead to 2026, the advancement of crypto-friendly regulatory bills, the potential Fed interest rate cut cycle, and the deepening utility of XRP in cross-border payments collectively form a positive narrative for its price recovery.

The 2025 Layer1 market undergoes a thorough split: Solana and BNB Chain rely on meme coin speculation to attract funds, Ethereum transitions to a settlement layer, and a net increase of $90 billion in stablecoins spurs the creation of dedicated "stable chains." Zcash experiences a surge of 661% due to privacy demands. In 2026, Layer1 accelerates its differentiation into speculative chains, settlement chains, stable chains, privacy chains, and performance chains, with interoperability becoming the only solution to provide a seamless experience.

In 2025, a smoke-free revolution took place on Wall Street. $1.4 trillion in net inflows into the ETF market, 300 billion dollars more than in 2024, with an annual trading volume reaching an astonishing $57.9 trillion, and 1,100 new ETF products launched throughout the year. These figures mark the end of an era: the era of believing that "the deeper the research, the more you earn" has become history.

XRP drops for the fourth consecutive time to $1.87, with technicals overshadowing bullish fundamentals. Active accounts plummeted in the second half of the year, and after reaching a historical high of $3.66 in July, profit-taking and whale sell-offs caused a 17% decline. However, XRP spot ETF recorded a net inflow of $1.13 billion, with 26 consecutive days of positive inflow. Technicals well below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages indicate a bearish outlook.

Japanese listed company and Asia's largest Bitcoin treasury Metaplanet recently held a special shareholders' meeting and approved an extremely ambitious capital plan. The company's board of directors officially approved the goal of building a massive treasury containing 210,000 Bitcoins (approximately $18.5 billion USD at current market prices) by the end of 2027. To achieve this goal, Metaplanet has designed a complex preferred stock financing scheme, issuing Class A and B shares with floating interest rates, quarterly dividends, and special buyback provisions, aiming to raise funds from global institutional investors while "delaying" rather than avoiding dilution of existing equity. Against the backdrop of a generally sluggish crypto market and most digital asset treasury companies having market values below their net assets, Metaplanet's contrarian accumulation, along with other Japanese DATs, is not only a financial gamble but also a real-world example of financial engineering.

On the eve of the Christmas holiday, the US spot Bitcoin ETF experienced a net outflow of $188 million on Tuesday, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of capital outflows. BlackRock's IBIT suffered the most, with a single-day outflow of $157 million. Ethereum ETFs saw an outflow of $95.5 million on Tuesday, with Grayscale ETHE leading the decline at $50,900,000. Experts point out that year-end portfolio rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting, and reduced holiday liquidity are the main reasons.

Metaplanet has stopped purchasing Bitcoin for three months starting in October, effectively initiating an arbitrage strategy. When the market net value drops below 1.0, repurchasing shares becomes more cost-effective than buying coins. The company immediately secured a $100,000,000 mortgage loan and a $500,000,000 repurchase quota. The December shareholders' meeting approved the entire plan, with public support from Norway's $2 trillion bank.

The domestic stock market declined slightly, with the KOSPI index falling 0.21%, and individual investors net selling over 700 billion KRW; the KOSDAQ index decreased by 0.47%. The Korean won against the US dollar depreciated, and international gold prices and domestic gold prices also declined.

In 2025, the crypto assets exchange-traded fund (ETF) market presented a distinct "one strong, one super" pattern. The Bitcoin ETF solidified its position as the preferred choice for institutional deposits with an absolute market share of 70% to 85% throughout the year, attracting a total capital flow of up to $31 billion. Meanwhile, the Ethereum ETF share steadily climbed from the beginning of the year to 15% to 30% in December, indicating that institutional acceptance of the second-largest digital asset is increasing. However, the unexpected delay of the U.S. "Clarity Act" at the end of the year triggered a net outflow of global crypto ETP funds of up to $952 million in a single week, with Ethereum products under the most pressure, adding a touch of uncertainty to the institutional narrative for 2025. This article will analyze the true preferences of institutional funds through detailed data and interpret how the regulatory process has become the "baton" of short-term market sentiment.

The Bitcoin Contract Layer has experienced a key turning point from concept to implementation. TBC (The Bitcoin Contract), as the native contract base of Bitcoin, establishes programmability for BTC through a verifiable architecture, evolving it from a store of value asset into a programmable financial infrastructure.

XRP price fell below the 1.90 dollar mark, despite the Spot ETF attracting 44 million dollars in a single day on Monday, with a cumulative net inflow reaching 1.12 billion dollars, it still could not stop the downward trend. The key issue is that Whales continue to reduce positions, with Addresses holding more than 100,000 Tokens seeing their value plummet from 191 billion dollars in July to 104 billion dollars, evaporating over 87 billion dollars.

Spot XRP ETF has seen net inflows for 26 consecutive trading days, with a single-day inflow of 43.89 million USD on December 22, yet XRP dropped below 1.90 USD on December 24. This decline is attributed to the Japanese Finance Minister's renewed threat to intervene in the foreign exchange market, raising concerns over yen arbitrage Close Position, while the U.S. Q3 PCE inflation rose to 2.8%, suppressing risk appetite, leading to a sharp drop in market expectations for The Federal Reserve (FED) rate cuts in March next year.

The year 2025 is a dramatic collision of narrative and reality for the crypto assets industry, marking a significant divide in wealth. Despite Bitcoin's price retreating about 6% from its peak earlier in the year, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows a stark contrast in the fortunes of industry leaders: stablecoin giants have emerged as the biggest winners, with Circle founder Jeremy Allaire's wealth soaring by 149%, and Tether chairman Giancarlo Devasini's net worth rising 60% to $13.2 billion; meanwhile, the once-prominent "BitShares" pioneer Michael Saylor saw his fortune shrink by 37%, and the Winklevoss twins' wealth plummeted by 59%. Behind this wealth reshuffle lies a profound reflection of the industry's transformation from reckless growth to compliance and foundational services.

On the 24th, the South Korean stock market experienced Fluctuation, with the composite stock price index KOSPI rising by 14.03 points to 4,131.35 points, mainly driven by net purchases from individual and institutional investors.

American households are experiencing the third major reversal in asset allocation in 65 years. Data from the second quarter of 2025 shows that stocks and mutual funds have surged to a record high, accounting for 31% of household net worth, while real estate has fallen below 30%. This is not just a simple shift in investment preferences; it is a gamble for high growth in exchange for balance sheet stability. The personal savings rate in the U.S. is at a historical low, and as 31% of wealth turns into stocks that pulse every second, a liquidity massacre is counting down.

CryptoQuant warns that Bitcoin demand has significantly weakened, and the market may have entered a Bear Market, with increased risks of a fall. The report indicates that if the Bitcoin price falls to $70,000, it may occur within 3 to 6 months, while $56,000 could appear in 2026. Market funds are retreating, ETFs have turned into net sellers, and the phenomenon of Large Investors withdrawing is evident, showing characteristics of a Bear Market.

The Bitcoin ETF fund data presents a stark contrast; some clickbait headlines have exaggerated the coming selling wave, but the core data reveals more of a technical adjustment rather than a long-term withdrawal. Although the current market is in a phase of cyclical pressure, investors have not realized losses of about $100 billion, miners are reducing their hash power, and the stock prices of treasury companies are below the book value of Bitcoin, the ETF market has not shown signs of an apocalyptic scenario. According to Checkonchain data, although 60% of ETF capital inflows occurred during price increases, the assets under management of Bitcoin-denominated ETFs only saw an outflow of 2.5% (approximately $4.5 billion), which is relatively small compared to the total fund size. The key point is that the outflow of these funds is synchronized with the reduction of open interest in CME futures and IBIT options, confirming that it is a structural liquidation of basis or volatility trades, rather than a collapse of market confidence. Last week, capital flows showed two-way fluctuations, with a net flow between inflows and
