Under the dual influence of year-end holidays and tightening liquidity, US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced significant net fund outflows on the eve of Christmas, and market risk aversion sentiment has increased. Data shows that this round of capital withdrawal mainly reflects phased rebalancing and seasonal factors, rather than a fundamental change in institutional outlook on the long-term prospects of cryptocurrencies. According to SoSoValue data, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded approximately $188.6 million in net outflows on Tuesday, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of capital outflow. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT was the largest outflow product, with a single-day net outflow of up to $157.3 million. Meanwhile, Fidelity's FBTC, Grayscale's GBTC, and Bitwise's BITB also experienced varying degrees of capital outflows. Overall, the spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a total net outflow of about $497.1 million last week, contrasting sharply with the nearly $287 million net inflow in the previous week.

Gate News Bot message, December 24th, according to CoinMarketCap data, as of press time, ETH (Ethereum) is currently trading at $2927.89, down 1.16% in the past 24 hours, with a high of $3073.35 and a low of $2777.12. The 24-hour trading volume reached $19.497 billion. The current market capitalization is approximately $353.381 billion. Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain network and software development platform powered by the cryptocurrency Ether (ETH). As a next-generation permissionless global infrastructure for applications, the Ethereum network is open to everyone, with no permission requirements, built and maintained collectively by thousands of individuals, organizations, and users worldwide.

Curve DAO (CRV) has been in a downward channel since August, with an overall bearish trend. After the price broke below $0.37, the market generally expected it to further decline to the long-term key support level of $0.243. However, CRV only briefly touched a low of $0.331 before quickly rebounding to $0.385, rising about 16% in just over four days, sparking discussions about a "trend reversal." From a structural perspective, this rebound is more of a technical correction rather than a trend reversal signal. Previously, AMBCrypto's analysis of CRV indicated that it remains in a clear bear market pattern. This rally just filled the imbalance area on the 6-hour chart and also absorbed some short-term selling pressure. Despite the presence of capitulation sentiment and whale sell-offs in the market, these factors did not prevent the occurrence of a short-term rebound.

The privacy blockchain project Midnight (NIGHT) based on zero-knowledge proofs has recently experienced a noticeable correction, sparking market discussions about whether the trend is reversing. According to the latest data, this correction appears more like a technical breather after a cooling of derivatives rather than a clear signal of an overall market weakening. In the past 24 hours, NIGHT's trading volume has dropped sharply by about 50%, down to $3.97 billion, reflecting short-term capital withdrawal. However, it is worth noting that this is more indicative of capital rotation rather than a collective exit by investors. On-chain data shows that the number of investors briefly fell to 6,110 on December 20 but quickly rebounded to 6,500, indicating that market participation remains resilient. During the same period, NIGHT's market capitalization increased by approximately $430 million, despite a short-term decline from its high to $1.52 billion, with no signs of structural collapse.

Over the past week, Ethereum (ETH) prices have generally remained sideways with fluctuations. On the surface, the market appears calm, but technical charts and on-chain data reveal clear signals of structural changes. Several indicators show that Ethereum is building a potential medium-term reversal pattern, while the selling pressure from long-term holders has significantly decreased. This combination is relatively rare in history. From a technical perspective, on the daily chart, Ethereum is forming a classic inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is one of the more reliable bullish reversal structures in the crypto market. The current neckline of the pattern is around $3,400 and appears relatively flat. Historical experience suggests that once a flat neckline is effectively broken, it is often accompanied by a stronger trend of upward movement. Based on this pattern, once ETH breaks above the neckline with increased volume, its theoretical target price could reach the $4,400 area.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has recently continued to weaken, attracting widespread market attention. Data shows that over the past five months, the price of PENGU has fallen approximately 73.5%, making it one of the weakest-performing projects in the recent NFT and meme coin sectors. Meanwhile, the overall heat of the NFT market continues to cool down, exerting significant pressure on the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem. According to NFT Price Floor data, the monthly sales volume of Pudgy Penguins NFTs has decreased by 31.4% month-on-month, reflecting a clear contraction in market demand. As the native token of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem, PENGU is categorized as a meme coin but still carries certain ecosystem and trading attributes. However, since August, its price has been declining steadily, from $0.032 to the current approximately $0.0086, and has yet to form an effective rebound.

Under the ongoing sanctions in the West, Russia is accelerating the adjustment of its cryptocurrency regulatory stance. The Central Bank of Russia recently formulated a new cryptocurrency regulatory blueprint, planning to cautiously open the domestic crypto asset market to retail and professional investors under certain conditions. This move is seen as an important signal that Russia is re-evaluating its digital asset strategy amid the sanctions environment. According to Bloomberg, citing sources from the Central Bank of Russia, the new framework will implement tiered management of investors. Non-qualified investors, after passing a basic knowledge exam, can purchase the most liquid cryptocurrencies in the market, but must operate through a single intermediary and are limited to an annual trading cap of 300,000 rubles, approximately $3,800. In contrast, qualified investors, after completing a risk awareness test, can trade most cryptocurrencies without limits, but anonymous tokens are still excluded.

Despite the US stock market hitting new highs repeatedly this year, Bitcoin (BTC) has significantly underperformed the stock market. However, on-chain data reveals an intriguing signal: in the context of sideways price movement and weak sentiment, Bitcoin whales are still continuously buying, making the market structure appear less pessimistic than it seems on the surface. First, a key change comes from exchange data. Recently, the monthly reserve changes of Bitcoin exchanges have turned negative, indicating that the amount of BTC withdrawn from exchanges exceeds the amount deposited. Typically, Bitcoin flowing out of exchanges is seen as a signal that investors are choosing to hold long-term rather than trade short-term. While this phenomenon can occur in both bull and bear markets, sustained outflows reduce immediate selling pressure and reinforce confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.

Gnosis Chain officially launched a hard fork recently, successfully recovering approximately $9.4 million that was frozen during a major security vulnerability in the Balancer protocol in early November. As a key infrastructure within the Balancer ecosystem, this move by Gnosis Chain quickly sparked widespread discussion in the crypto community, focusing on the trade-offs between fund security, on-chain governance, and the principle of blockchain "immutability." According to an official announcement, the hard fork was executed on December 22, and the related funds have been completely removed from the attacker's control and transferred to a recovery address managed by Gnosis DAO. Gnosis also urged all node operators to upgrade their clients as soon as possible to avoid penalties for not following the new chain.

According to on-chain data, approximately 8.7 million PI tokens will be unlocked on December 25, with a current value of about 1.76 million USD.

Although there was some buying on dips over the weekend, the price temporarily rebounded to $0.214, but overall demand remains weak. Before macroeconomic data is released, market sentiment is cautious, and PI has fallen back to around $0.203.

In the global cryptocurrency regulation race, Spain is rapidly emerging. The country plans to fully implement the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and the Administrative Cooperation Directive (DAC8) by early 2026, clearly leading the United States in the pace and enforcement of cryptocurrency legislation. These measures are expected to make Spain a key benchmark for crypto asset regulation in Europe and worldwide. According to local media reports, Spain plans to fully implement the MiCA framework by mid-2026 and simultaneously advance the implementation of DAC8. DAC8 will officially come into effect on January 1, 2026, focusing on cryptocurrency taxation and information disclosure systems, requiring exchanges and crypto service providers to automatically report user transaction records, account balances, and fund flows to EU tax authorities. This means the anonymity of crypto asset transactions will be significantly reduced, and sales, exchanges, and transfers will become more transparent, helping to improve compliance and tax enforcement efficiency.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Matrixport released a chart today stating that, based on pricing logic, the main driving force behind cryptocurrency asset prices remains the inflow of incremental capital, rather than changes in user numbers or application scenarios. This is especially evident in the Ethereum ETF: during the nearly $10 billion influx of funds, ETH prices rose from about $2,600 to $4,500; when the capital inflow slowed, prices quickly retraced previous gains. In an environment with relatively limited new real demand, Ethereum and the broader crypto market remain highly sensitive to marginal changes in capital flow. Compared to the previous bull market, where the main narrative centered around "adoption, revenue, and network growth," and investors were willing to pay a premium for these expectations; in this cycle, price performance is more largely dependent on where the capital flows.

Despite the continued strength and new highs in global stock markets, the weakness in the cryptocurrency market persists. On Wednesday, Bitcoin and several mainstream digital assets collectively declined, with the total cryptocurrency market cap dropping about 1.4% to $2.97 trillion, once again falling below the critical $3 trillion mark, indicating insufficient market rebound momentum. Bitcoin price hovered around $86,900, failing to effectively break through the $90,000 psychological barrier for the third consecutive day. Ethereum declined about 1.5%, trading around $2,927. Meanwhile, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin experienced more significant declines, with SOL dropping nearly 3% in a single day, reflecting the clear pressure on high-beta assets.

Recently, XRP's price movement is under pressure again. After losing the short-term support level, XRP's overall performance weakened, and selling pressure significantly increased around $1.90, with the price falling into a lower range on Wednesday. The market's focus is gradually shifting towards the $1.85 line. This trend occurs against a backdrop of low liquidity at the end of the year, with the cryptocurrency market mainly consolidating, and short-term position adjustments becoming the dominant force. From the market environment perspective, the quiet trading at the end of the year makes prices more susceptible to emotional and technical signals. Many traders tend to reduce their risk exposure rather than bet on a clear direction. In this context, XRP's technical signals are diverging. Some analyses suggest that the ascending wedge structure is putting pressure on the price, and if the support continues to decline, XRP may face further corrections; while other analyses point out that the RSI indicator is showing divergence, which typically occurs when short-term selling pressure is close to being exhausted. This divergence undermines market confidence and also explains the rapid drop of XRP after rebounding to the resistance level.

This experimental period is starting right now. I don't have a specific stance on Aave's situation, I just want to emphasize one point: clarity is always the most important. Token holders must clearly understand what they actually own.
