🪙 Silver Surges to New Heights: A Rally Driven by Scarcity and Demand
📈 Silver, often referred to as the "devil's metal" due to its price volatility, has recently achieved a historic milestone by surpassing $64 per ounce on the COMEX. This marks the first time in history that silver has reached such heights. The metal has been on an upward trajectory since early December, despite analysts repeatedly labeling it as overbought.
💰 Year-to-date, silver has emerged as the top investment, with prices soaring over 115%. It has outperformed significant competitors like gold, bitcoin, and the SPX index. This surge is part of a long-term cup and handle pattern that has been developing for nearly five decades since silver became tradable on commodity markets.
🔍 Analysts attribute this price increase to several structural factors, primarily a scarcity of supply. The silver market has been facing a multi-year deficit that is unlikely to be resolved soon due to inelastic supply.
It’s amazing that silver prices are not trading a lot higher right now. Supply deficits have become a significant concern. Demand is only going to grow, but supply remains extremely limited.said Michele Schneider, Chief Market Strategist at MarketGauge. 📉 The recent Federal Reserve interest cut and the potential for hyperinflation next year could drive more investors towards precious metals like silver. Additionally, the growing use of silver in electric battery applications, particularly with the rise of new silver-infused batteries, creates a perfect storm that could propel silver prices to triple digits in the coming years.

| 2 |  📈 Crypto ETFs Experience a Strong Rebound
📊 On Tuesday, December 9, the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) market saw a significant resurgence, with a total of $330 million in inflows. This marked a stark contrast to the previous day's caution, showcasing a renewed risk appetite among traders.
Bitcoin ETFs roared back to life with a $151.74 million inflow, powered by a remarkable resurgence at Fidelity.
The Fidelity FBTC fund led the charge with an impressive $198.85 million influx, followed by contributions from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust and Bitwise’s BITB. Despite a significant outflow from Blackrock’s IBIT, which saw $135.44 million leave, the overall momentum remained strong.
🚫 Ether ETFs also performed exceptionally well, surpassing Bitcoin with $177.64 million in inflows across seven issuers. Fidelity’s FETH topped this category, while other major players like Grayscale and Blackrock also made substantial gains.
🔔 Solana ETFs contributed to the positive trend with $16.54 million in new inflows, led by Bitwise’s BSOL. XRP ETFs rounded out the day with $8.73 million in inflows, primarily driven by Canary’s XRPC.
Across the board, Tuesday delivered a rare and refreshing sight: every major crypto ETF category finished in the green
This widespread participation and strong trading volumes reflected renewed investor confidence in the crypto market. | 21 229 |
| 3 |  📉 Tokenized Real-World Assets Experience Minor Decline
📊 Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) saw a slight decrease this month, with a total distributed value dropping 1.09% as $268 million exited the sector since November 1. Despite this dip, the RWA sector continues to showcase a diverse ecosystem that includes tokenized T-bills, digitized oil exposure, and emerging-market private credit pools.
📉 As of December 6, the total distributed global RWA value stands at $18.38 billion, reflecting a 1.09% decline from the previous month. Represented assets total $391.63 billion, down 7.16% from the prior month. However, participation is on the rise, with 560,488 total asset holders, an increase of 5.91% since November 6.
🔔 Non-U.S. government debt has a total value of $611.54 million, which is 4.20% lower than seven days ago; yet holder participation has increased by 12.61% to 3,430 holders. Corporate tokenized bonds are at $259.92 million, showing a slight weekly gain of 0.33% despite a small dip in holders.
💪 Tokenized private credit remains a standout performer in the space. Active loans total $19.04 billion with a current average APR of 10.10%. Platforms like Maple, Figure, TrueFi, Goldfinch, and Centrifuge continue to expand issuance.
📈 Tokenized commodities have a market cap of $3.64 billion, up 5.68% over 30 days despite a significant drop in monthly transfer volume. Treasury products account for $9.07 billion, slightly down 1.06% week-over-week but with an average seven-day yield climbing to 3.81%.
📌 Overall, while RWAs experienced a slight dip in value, participation continues to rise and infrastructure is expanding. Major categories like private credit, treasuries, and commodities remain active. December may not be delivering fireworks, but the RWA engine is still running strong. | 20 834 |
| 4 |  🪙 Bitget Expands to Tokenized Shares and Commodities
🌍 Bitget, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, is expanding its operations to include tokenized shares and commodities like gold. The company's CMO, Ignacio Aguirre Franco, emphasized that this move aims to attract customers who wish to trade these assets without the limitations of traditional markets.
🔄 Franco stated that Bitget's new goal is to merge the traditional centralized financial world, which has its restrictions, with decentralized finance (DeFi). This approach allows customers to benefit from both systems. He mentioned,
We want to bring more offers. We are an ecosystem with access to everything people do, without having to leave one app for another.
📱 Bitget aims to become an all-in-one trading platform, similar to other exchanges like Robinhood. However, it retains its cryptocurrency roots and sees an opportunity in combining these methods with a focus on usability. Franco stressed the importance of user experience, stating,
Usability is what will bring people to the platform.
📈 Franco was brought on board in November to implement Bitget's Universal Exchange philosophy. This trend is becoming common among crypto companies to keep their customers within their ecosystems. | 21 970 |
| 5 |  🛡 Yearn Finance Faces $9 Million Losses Due to Security Breach
🚨 Yearn Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) yield aggregator, has reported a security breach involving its custom yETH stableswap pool, resulting in losses of approximately $9 million. The incident occurred on November 30 at 16:11 EST and involved the unauthorized minting of a significant amount of yETH. Importantly, Yearn clarified that the affected contract is a custom version of widely used stableswap code and is not linked to other Yearn products.
🔍 In an update on X, Yearn assured users that its main V2 and V3 vaults remain unaffected by this vulnerability. Initial assessments revealed that the attack primarily targeted two areas: the yETH Stableswap Pool, which suffered a direct loss of about $8 million, and the yETH-WETH Stableswap Pool on Curve, from which approximately $0.9 million was drained.
🔒 The team emphasized its commitment to security and pledged to incorporate all lessons learned from this incident into future protocol development. Users affected by the breach were directed to open a support ticket on Discord for assistance.
💰 In a subsequent update, Yearn reported the recovery of 857.49 pxETH (Dinero Staked ETH) valued at $2.39 million. This recovery was made possible with the help of the Plume and Dinero teams, who are associated with the institutional liquid staking token used in the compromised pool. | 21 099 |
| 6 |  🔴 Tether Exits Uruguay After Failed Negotiations
✅ Tether, a major player in the cryptocurrency sector, has officially announced its departure from Uruguay following unsuccessful negotiations with the national power company, UTE. The company has terminated 30 out of 38 employees and informed the national labor ministry about this decision.
⚡️ The exit comes after Tether's local subsidiary, Microfin, ceased payments to UTE in July, leading to power cuts at two mining sites in September. Despite a company spokesperson claiming there was no debt due to a warranty deposit held by UTE, the situation highlighted the challenges of operating in an environment with fluctuating power costs.
Tether is committed to developing long-term initiatives in Latin America, especially those leveraging renewable energy.
the company stated in September, denying rumors of its exit and emphasizing its commitment to the region.
💰 Tether's investment plan in Uruguay included a substantial $500 million investment aimed at establishing three data processing centers and a wind farm. However, the rising costs of power made these operations economically unviable.
📉 The company's withdrawal not only impacts local employment but also represents a loss for the Uruguayan economy, including a planned $50 million investment in power infrastructure that was to be managed by the state.
🔄 Moving forward, Tether's decision may influence its operations in other markets as the company seeks to secure favorable pre-deployment agreements before making significant infrastructure investments. | 21 675 |

| 8 |  🔍 Bitcoin Core Completes First Public Security Audit
🔒 Bitcoin Core, the software behind the world's largest blockchain, has successfully completed its first-ever public third-party security audit. Conducted by Quarkslab and funded by Brink, this audit marks a significant milestone in Bitcoin's security lifecycle.
🛡 The audit, which took place from May to September, primarily focused on Bitcoin's peer-to-peer networking layer—a critical area vulnerable to attacks. Quarkslab also examined mempool logic, chain management, consensus validation, and transaction-handling pathways. They employed a mix of manual code reviews, dynamic analysis, and advanced fuzzing techniques.
✅ The results were promising: auditors found two low-severity issues and 13 informational recommendations, none of which posed a security risk according to Bitcoin Core's internal classifications.
Bitcoin Core’s architecture and code quality demonstrate outstanding work
Quarkslab noted. They also highlighted that ongoing initiatives like Brink’s Fuzzamoto could reveal more edge cases in future tests.
🔴 The complete audit report and related documents are now publicly accessible in Quarkslab’s repositories. This transparency marks a new chapter for Bitcoin's critical software and reinforces its commitment to security. | 21 982 |
| 9 |  🔒 SEC's Upcoming Roundtable on Privacy in Crypto Markets
🔴 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to host a Financial Surveillance and Privacy Roundtable on December 15, 2025, following its rescheduling from October. This event underscores the growing importance of data protection in the crypto market as regulators seek to enhance transparency and security in an increasingly interconnected financial ecosystem.
Given the many threats to people’s privacy, developing sound policies is of paramount importance
said Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, head of the Crypto Task Force. She emphasized the need for regulators to understand new tools that Americans can use to protect their data and personal information.
🔍 The roundtable will focus on privacy-preserving technologies, the risks associated with financial monitoring systems, and the interaction between crypto activities and traditional markets. The SEC aims to provide public access to the event, both in-person and via webcast, to offer analysts and policymakers insight into its regulatory objectives related to data protection.
▶️ Attendance will require registration for on-site participation, while online viewing will be open to all. The findings from this roundtable could significantly influence future guidance on financial transparency, transaction monitoring, and consumer safeguards in the crypto markets. | 22 126 |
| 10 |  📉 Bitcoin Dips Below $90K: Panic Selling and Market Dynamics
🔴 Bitcoin has once again fallen below the $90K mark, prompting skittish investors to engage in panic selling. According to a blog post by crypto market analysis firm Glassnode, this decline marks the third instance since early 2024 that the price has dropped below the short-term holder cost-basis model's lower band.
However, the intensity of panic among top buyers is notably higher this time
the firm notes.
📉 Almost all short-term holders who purchased Bitcoin in the last 155 days are currently at a loss, leading to increased panic selling. At the time of their purchase, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $104K, about $15K higher than its current price.
🔍 In addition to panic selling, several other factors are contributing to Bitcoin's decline. Glassnode highlights weak demand, high ETF outflows, increased volatility, and a shift from speculation to hedging as key elements driving the asset's downward trend. Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of nearly $3 billion for the month, and speculation in BTC derivatives has decreased as traders prioritize risk hedging over profit-seeking.
📊 As a result of these pressures, Bitcoin fell 4.45% to $89,106.70, representing a 12.17% decrease over the past week. Daily trading volume dropped by 36.54% to $73.68 billion, and market capitalization eased to $1.87 trillion. However, Bitcoin's dominance in the market increased by 0.51% to 59.35%, indicating that it is performing better than many other cryptocurrencies.
🔄 The total value of open Bitcoin futures contracts decreased by 1.16% to $65.77 billion, with liquidations subsiding to $144.60 million since the previous day. Long investors bore the brunt of the losses at $124.82 million, but this was significantly lower than the previous day's $359.12 million in liquidations. Short sellers experienced minimal liquidations at $19.78 million. | 23 866 |

| 12 |  🚨 Ripple Warns XRP Holders of Rising Fraud Risks Amid Industry Events
⚠️ Ripple has issued a warning about increasing fraud risks targeting XRP holders, particularly during major industry events like the recent Ripple Swell. The company observed a surge in counterfeit content, including fake 'Live' YouTube videos, urging its community to remain vigilant.
Ripple will NEVER ask you to send us XRP. Stay vigilant!
the firm emphasized.
🔔 This warning follows a previous alert in July regarding account takeovers on YouTube that mimicked Ripple's verified presence.
We’ve noticed an uptick of XRP scams on Youtube – scammers are stealing accounts and then updating the page to impersonate Ripple’s official account … Reminder: Ripple or our execs will NEVER ask you to send us XRP,
the earlier message stated.
📈 Despite these fraud attempts, XRP has gained momentum recently due to increased corporate adoption and the launch of the first pure-play spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). However, these developments have also attracted more fraud attempts. Ripple stressed the importance of verification and advocates for broader education and stronger validation tools to enhance user protection.
🔍 In summary, Ripple is urging XRP holders to verify official channels and be cautious of unsolicited requests for XRP transfers to mitigate the rising threat of impersonation schemes. | 23 150 |
| 13 |  ⚠️ Critique of the Reduced Data Temporary Softfork Proposal
📝 A recent proposal for a temporary soft fork in the Bitcoin network, known as the Reduced Data Temporary Softfork (RDTS), has sparked significant controversy. Mononaut, a developer and analyst from mempoolspace, published a detailed critique highlighting the potential risks associated with this proposal.
🚫 The RDTS aims to impose a set of consensus-level restrictions to reduce data-heavy transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain. This initiative follows the Bitcoin Core v30 update, which removed limits on OP_RETURN data. If activated, the RDTS would last for approximately one year and would impose several limitations, including restricting scriptPubKeys to 34 bytes and capping OP_RETURN outputs at 83 bytes. Proponents argue that these measures are necessary to prevent illegal data uploads that could expose node operators to legal liability.
🔍 However, Mononaut's analysis reveals that these restrictions could severely disrupt legitimate Bitcoin transactions. He found that all pay-to-public-key (P2PK) and multisig (P2MS) outputs would be rendered invalid under the proposed scriptPubKey size limit. Additionally, the proposal would invalidate OP_PUSHDATA operations with payloads exceeding 256 bytes and would impact over 54,000 historic transactions that used unconventional outputs to bypass OP_RETURN data caps.
⚠️ One of the most concerning aspects of the RDTS is its potential to invalidate witness stacks containing a Taproot annex and large Taproot control blocks. Approximately 32,000 past spends include depth-100+ control blocks often used for data embedding. The proposal also bans OP_SUCCESS* and any Tapscript executing OP_IF or OP_NOTIF, which could disable around 560,000 historical Taproot spends that rely on these functions.
🗣 Supporters of the RDTS argue that it is a necessary short-term measure to protect Bitcoin's monetary utility and reduce node burdens. However, critics, including Mononaut, warn that such broad restrictions could lead to de facto censorship of valid transaction types and disrupt existing applications. | 20 750 |
| 14 |  📉 Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Struggle While Solana Shines
📉 The week ended on a negative note for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with Bitcoin ETFs experiencing significant outflows of $558 million and Ether ETFs shedding $47 million. In contrast, Solana ETFs demonstrated resilience by recording an inflow of $13 million.
🌟 After a brief rebound on Thursday, Friday saw renewed redemptions for both Bitcoin and Ether funds. Bitcoin ETFs faced one of their largest single-day redemptions in recent weeks, with Fidelity’s FBTC leading the way with an exit of $256.66 million. Other significant withdrawals came from Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB ($144.24 million) and Blackrock’s IBIT ($131.43 million). Additional redemptions were noted from Grayscale’s GBTC ($15.44 million) and Bitwise’s BITB ($10.68 million).
🔔 The situation was similar for Ether ETFs, which saw total outflows of $46.62 million. Fidelity’s FETH was the biggest contributor to these losses with a withdrawal of $72.23 million, followed by Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust which lost $11.42 million. However, Blackrock’s ETHA and Invesco’s CBOE partially offset these losses with inflows of $34.43 million and $2.59 million respectively.
📈 In contrast, Solana ETFs continued their streak of inflows. Bitwise’s BSOL brought in $11.74 million while Grayscale’s GSOL added $959,000, totaling $12.69 million in inflows. This group also recorded a trading volume of $46.04 million, pushing their net assets to $575.93 million.
⁉️ Overall, while Bitcoin and Ether ETFs ended the week on a low note, Solana’s performance highlights a shift in investor confidence towards this blockchain's growing appeal. | 21 549 |

| 16 |  🔴 Bitcoin Whale Awakens: 216.95 BTC Moves After 9 Years
🔔 On Friday, as Bitcoin hovered just above $100,000, a 2016-era whale made a surprising move—transferring 216.95 BTC worth $22.47 million after being dormant for 9 years and 4 months. This stirred conversations in the crypto community about long-idle Bitcoin holders shifting their assets.
📈 Since January 1, 2025, approximately 4.64 million BTC have been moved, primarily from wallets that had been inactive for six months to a year and one to two years. However, this recent transfer was particularly notable as it came from a 2016 wallet that had not seen any activity for 3,412 days. The transaction was confirmed at block 922580.
🔄 The transferred Bitcoin was sent to a new, unidentified Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) address. The movement included a 1 BTC send, a significant 215.95099782 transfer, and six smaller transactions. This could indicate a consolidation move into a more modern address type.
📊 This transfer coincided with a 2.8% increase in Bitcoin's price on Friday, reaching an intraday high of $104,044 per coin. At around 5 p.m. Eastern, the price stabilized at approximately $103,845. Historical data reveals that when this Bitcoin was originally acquired, each coin was valued at just $664, totaling $143,995 at the time. Today, this represents an astonishing 15,530% gain.
🔍 In summary, the reactivation of this 2016 wallet adds another chapter to Bitcoin's dynamic narrative, highlighting the ongoing activity of long-term holders in the cryptocurrency market. | 22 776 |
| 17 |  💔 The Meme Coin Market Takes a Hit: A $30 Billion Loss
📉 In the past week, the crypto market experienced a significant downturn, with $510 billion disappearing as Bitcoin fell to $100,561 per coin. Meme coins were hit particularly hard, plummeting 14.1% in just 24 hours and losing about $30 billion over the last 55 days.
➡️ Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 20.9%, SHIB fell 13.8%, and PEPE suffered a 23.9% loss. Other meme coins like PUMP, PENGU, and BONK also saw declines of 21.1%, 32.3%, and 21.4% respectively. SPX experienced the most significant drop among the top ten meme coins, plunging 41.9% this week. Some tokens faced even steeper declines, with BELIEVE nosediving 76% and AIC bleeding out approximately 57%.
⚡ Looking back over the past 55 days, the meme coin market has lost a staggering $29.54 billion. The sector's valuation has dropped from $81.74 billion to $52.2 billion. However, a few meme coins managed to defy the trend this week. PIPPEN gained 69.1%, ZEREBRO climbed 67.3%, MINIDOGE increased by 24.2%, and PYTHIA jumped 13.7%.
🔔 Many believe the meme coin era is nearing its end. These recent downturns are seen as potentially fatal blows for a sector that has not experienced the same hype or demand as earlier this year. Critics argue that meme coins are "the circus acts of crypto—loud, flashy, and inevitably realizing face-planting performances."
🔄 Despite previous declarations of their demise, meme coins have a history of bouncing back. They often return like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave the party. While the current situation looks grim, it is unlikely to be the end for meme coins. | 28 139 |
| 18 |  📈 Coinbase's Strategic Bitcoin Accumulation: A Bold Move in the Crypto Landscape
💪 Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., is doubling down on its Bitcoin investments. On October 30, the company announced that it added 2,772 BTC to its holdings during the third quarter. This significant increase reflects Coinbase's commitment to aligning its balance sheet with Bitcoin's long-term value.
📊 CEO Brian Armstrong emphasized this strategy on social media, stating that Coinbase is "long Bitcoin" and will continue to make purchases. This move positions Coinbase not just as a trading platform but as a long-term player in the Bitcoin economy. Armstrong's comments have been interpreted as a strong vote of confidence in Bitcoin's future as a corporate reserve asset.
It was another great quarter for Coinbase. We continue to drive strong financial performance and build the Everything Exchange that we had announced last quarter,
Armstrong noted during the company's Q3 earnings call.
📈 Coinbase's Bitcoin strategy aligns with a broader trend among public companies like Microstrategy, Tesla, and Block, which are increasingly using Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. This accumulation strategy also highlights Coinbase's role as both a custodian of crypto assets and an active participant in the market's maturation.
✨ In addition to its investment strategy, Coinbase is advocating for clear cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S. Armstrong has publicly supported legislative initiatives such as the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the Clarity Act for digital asset market structure. He recently met with 25 U.S. senators to discuss crypto policies, aiming to establish a transparent regulatory environment that balances consumer protection with innovation. | 25 819 |
| 19 |  🗓 ASIC Recognizes Digital Assets as Financial Products and Offers Transitional Relief
📢 On October 29, 2025, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) released updated guidance indicating that stablecoins, wrapped tokens, tokenized securities, and digital asset wallets may be classified as financial products under current law. To facilitate this transition, ASIC has established a sector-wide no-action position until June 30, 2026, allowing firms time to apply for licenses.
📝 ASIC is seeking feedback on draft relief instruments for distributors of stablecoins and wrapped tokens as well as certain custodians, with submissions open until November 12, 2025. This guidance aims to provide greater regulatory certainty for firms while ensuring consumer protection through licensing requirements. Commissioner Alan Kirkland stated that this clarity enables firms to "innovate confidently in Australia."
⚖️ The proposed relief is subject to consultation and will work in conjunction with upcoming government law reforms and relevant jurisdictional rules. ASIC will consider the no-action position when evaluating past conduct but will continue to take action against significant harm. | 23 746 |
| 20 |  ➡️ Relai Secures MiCA License for EU Operations
🌍 Relai has announced that it has obtained a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF). This license allows Relai EU to offer its services in France and across the European Union. The company, which is regulated in Switzerland and was registered in Italy earlier in 2025, plans to expand its operations to 30 EEA countries, starting with France.
💼 The significance of this license lies in its authorization for Relai to scale its regulated bitcoin services while maintaining user self-custody. It also enhances payment and trading features, including 24/7 Instant SEPA transactions and higher euro trading limits. Relai boasts over 90,000 users and a total volume exceeding $1 billion. Co-founder and CEO Julian Liniger stated,
We’re incredibly proud to be one of the first bitcoin companies to get the MiCA license.
He also advised users to update their auto-invest standing orders to the new SEPA IBAN where applicable.
🌟 Key FAQs include:
- Relai is authorized by the French AMF to offer services in France and across 30 EEA countries.
