XRP market in December may face a correction, with an estimated decline of 13.44%. Currently, the price remains steady above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands (around $1.82), indicating market resilience. If it continues to hold the middle band, the target could rise to $3.60; otherwise, a reassessment of the bullish outlook is needed.

【Crypto World】Large Wall Street investment banks recently released a wave of forward-looking analyses on the 2026 market, with the overall outlook summarized in one sentence — risks are heavy.
On the surface, new stimulus policies (such as the "Big and Beautiful Act") are expected to boost the market, but deep-seated concerns should not be underestimated. JPMorgan Chase sounds the first alarm: AI investment scale has surged from $150 billion in 2023 and could break $500 billion by 2026. How many bubbles are hidden behind this rapid growth? No one dares to make a definitive conclusion.
What’s even more worrying is the fragility on the employment front. Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs both mentioned that the US labor market could become a trigger for an economic recession. Once the unemployment wave hits, consumption will be in dire straits.
Looking at inflation — Bank of America predicts that by the end of 2026, core inflation will still be stuck at 2.8%, well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. What does this mean? The interest rate cut cycle may be slower and weaker than expected, and capital

【Crypto World】XRP receives good news again. A well-known asset management firm has launched an XRP spot product that has broken through a key milestone—its holdings have reached 105.9 million XRP, with a corresponding market value of about $200 million.
What does this number indicate? First, the enthusiasm of institutional and individual investors for XRP has clearly increased. Second, everyone is looking for compliant and secure ways to invest in cryptocurrencies. It is important to note that XRP plays a significant role between traditional finance and blockchain, and the increase in holdings this time reflects the growing recognition of this role's value.
Market observers point out that this not only demonstrates growing confidence in XRP among institutions but also suggests that, as more investors enter this space, XRP's market potential could have even greater room for growth. Based on the expansion speed of spot ETF products, regulated cryptocurrency investment channels are becoming the new mainstream choice.

【Crypto World】Recently, a certain exchange's EU version launched a 7th anniversary event on the European site, teaming up with ZEN.COM to bring benefits to users in the European Economic Area.
Let's talk about the core of this event—eligible EEA users can now redeem a 150-day free ZEN PRO membership until January 5th next year, worth €34.50. Imagine, getting 150 days of premium features for free—many people are quite interested.
How to participate specifically? It's quite simple. Each eligible user has one redemption opportunity, provided that your ZEN.COM account is registered for the first time. The platform has also designed a task system—by performing daily check-ins, completing account verification, participating in spot trading, and other actions, you can accumulate points. Once enough points are accumulated, they can be exchanged for membership benefits, USDC airdrops, or trading perks.

【ChainWen】The latest policy signals are here. Official departments are promoting the application of digital RMB in international payments, with a focus on cross-border settlements in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and other regions.
There are several core directions: first is international cooperation on central bank digital currencies. Supporting participation in multilateral central bank digital currency bridge projects, and promoting cross-border payment cooperation with countries such as Thailand, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. The digital RMB cross-border payment pilot is also expanding its scope, with countries like Singapore included as cooperation partners.
Second is in the cross-border e-commerce sector. Countries along the route support the construction of cross-border e-commerce digital service platforms, connecting with e-commerce and trade digital platforms in countries like Singapore to improve service efficiency. This means that cross-border payments may become more convenient in the future.
Next is RMB-denominated settlement. Policies encourage the use of RMB for pricing and settlement of bulk commodities, supporting ASEAN investors in using RMB for investment and reinvestment. Banking institutions' cross-border financing, guarantees, and asset transfers are also being promoted.

Recently, Bitcoin has been in a negative premium state in the US market for 10 consecutive days, with prices below the global average, reflecting increased selling pressure and decreased investor risk appetite. This phenomenon indicates that the market sentiment in the US warrants attention.

The recently launched automatic withdrawal and batch withdrawal features by Gate have significantly improved fund management efficiency. Automatic withdrawal allows for the setting of rules to achieve automated operations, while batch withdrawal facilitates bulk transfers for enterprises, enhancing daily operational efficiency. This development reflects the trend of encryption payment tools evolving towards intelligence and large-scale operations, with the importance of infrastructure becoming even more prominent in the future.

Overall, market sentiment remains relatively stable, with no significant fluctuations.

The U.S. SEC has filed a lawsuit against a cross-platform fraud case involving three fake encryption trading platforms and four investment institutions, illegally raising at least $14 million. Investors were lured into opening accounts on the fake platforms, ultimately ending up with nothing. The SEC urges investors to remain vigilant and verify platform information.

Recently, there has been a phenomenon of big players increasing their positions in the Hyperliquid market when prices fall, with single purchases exceeding 21.5 million dollars, indicating bullish signals in the market. Although HYPE is still under pressure from the falling wedge, the RSI indicator is oversold, and experienced traders are bullish, increasing the probability of a rebound, suggesting that there may be strength building up for a rise in the future.

[Block Rhythm] On December 23, on-chain monitoring data shows that a well-known early Bitcoin player Whale account is still holding a losing position, currently maintaining long positions worth $716 million, spanning across BTC, ETH, and SOL three mainstream tokens, but the overall unrealized losses have expanded to $55 million.
Specifically, this Whale has the heaviest bet on ETH, with long positions reaching $592 million, opening at a price of $3,147.39, and currently accumulating unrealized losses of $46.36 million. In terms of Bitcoin, the $87 million long position was opened at $91,506.7, currently with unrealized losses of $4.45 million. Additionally, there is a $37 million SOL position, opened at $135.2, with losses of $3.73 million.
From the data, it is clear that this Whale is under the most pressure on Ethereum, yet still chooses not to cut losses, but instead holds on.

[Block Rhythm] Market Trend Bulletin: Bitcoin fell below the $87,000 mark on December 23, with a 24-hour decline of 3.6%. Recent market fluctuations have been quite significant, and investors need to closely follow the subsequent trends. Whether this adjustment will continue to deepen or is a prelude to a rebound remains a matter of differing opinions in the market. For holders, effective risk management remains the top priority.

[Block Rhythm] Recently, there has been an interesting trend. Amplify has launched two new ETF products, opening up several new opportunities for investors. One is called the stablecoin technology ETF (code STBQ), and the other is the tokenization technology ETF (code TKNQ), both of which are already listed for trading on the NYSE Arca.
Let's first talk about STBQ. It tracks the MarketVector stablecoin technology index, which contains 24 types of assets, primarily giving you exposure to spot investments in XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK. This portfolio is actually laying out the infrastructure of the stablecoin ecosystem—these coins are all supporting the technology and applications of stablecoins.
TKNQ is a bit more innovative. It focuses on the digitization of physical assets and tracks the MarketVector tokenization technology index, which includes 53 types of assets. The logic behind this is to put traditional assets on the blockchain and financial products into

[比推] The US dollar has weakened against the Swiss franc again. The USD/CHF has continued to decline over the past two days, reaching a three-month low, with a daily fall of 0.57%, currently priced at 0.7873.
From a macro perspective, a weakening US dollar often indicates an increase in risk appetite—at this time, the crypto market usually reacts. The Swiss franc, as a traditional safe-haven currency, shows that the decline of the dollar against it indicates a calming of market anxiety, with more funds willing to take on risk. For bullish traders, this could be a good signal.

The latest data from 【币界】 shows that the Royal Bank of Canada has recently completed a significant investment—buying 13,700 shares of the Bitcoin strategy holdings company MicroStrategy for $233 million.
This transaction has released a lot of signals. The involvement of traditional financial giants indicates that institutions are becoming more optimistic about the asset allocation related to Bitcoin. MicroStrategy, as one of the publicly traded companies with the largest Bitcoin holdings, is closely watched in every move it makes. The Royal Bank of Canada, as one of the leading financial institutions in North America, often has its investment decisions viewed as a market barometer.
This also reflects that an increasing number of traditional financial institutions are re-evaluating the asset allocation value of Bitcoin. From the perspective of investment scale, a single investment of $233 million is not small, enough to demonstrate the determination of these institutions. With the increase in institutional participation, Bitcoin-related listed companies have also attracted more attention from investors.

Trump Media Company recently purchased 451 Bitcoins, with a transaction amount of approximately 40 million dollars. This reflects the increasing involvement of traditional enterprises in encryption assets, which has significant effects on market recognition and the investment ecosystem.

Analysis indicates that Bitcoin is facing the strongest selling pressure in three years. Although the market is nearing the bottom, the short-term risk of going long is extremely high. Despite the rising holder retention rate, the market is overheated, and investors should treat the rebound with caution, prioritizing dumping.

【比推】The sentiment in the crypto market has shown a subtle change. According to Coinglass's Fear and Greed Index, the current value stands at 25, which has risen by 1 point compared to the previous day. Although the increase is not significant, it reflects a slight warming of the mindset among market participants. Looking at a longer time frame, the average value over the past week was only 18, while the average level over the past 30 days was at 21. This indicates that the market sentiment is indeed gradually recovering in the short term, slowly climbing up from the area of extreme fear. However, overall, the value of 25 is still at a relatively low level, and the market has not yet emerged from the extreme pessimism of the bottom.

[Block Rhythm] Silver has performed unexpectedly this year. On December 23, Spot silver just broke through the $70/ounce mark, with an annual rise of 142%. This rate of increase is indeed astonishing - from the beginning of the year until now, silver has almost doubled.
It is important to know that such a large rise in traditional precious metals is rare. What is driving this? The depreciation of the dollar, global liquidity, and the demand for hedging against geopolitical risks—these factors combined have turned silver from a safe-haven asset into the fastest-growing commodity. For those concerned with macroeconomics and asset allocation, this market trend is worth paying attention to.
