Dogecoin fell about 1% to roughly $0.12 on Christmas Day and is on track to finish the year over 60% lower, while traders have shifted toward newer meme tokens. Technical analyst Alan Tardigrade highlights a recurring descending triangle and OBV pattern similar to 2024 that could send DOGE toward $1, even as charts suggest a possible slide to around $0.09 first. In parallel, the Pepenode presale has raised nearly $2.4 million for a mine-to-earn game that lets users deploy virtual mining rigs and compete for meme coin airdrops.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has publicly rejected renewed claims that he sold ADA near its 2021 peak around $3, insisting he did not offload tokens during the rally. As ADA trades around $0.35 on Binance after a prolonged downtrend, traders are watching key support near $0.30 and resistance between $0.38 and $0.50 to gauge whether any rebound can develop into a sustained recovery.

Cardano's ADA fell 2.09% over the last 24 hours to $0.35 and was down 3.67% on the week, as trading stayed mixed during Christmas Day. Data showed $167,850 in long positions versus just $243 in shorts liquidated within an hour, creating a reported 66,530% imbalance while 24-hour volume dropped 22% to $380 million.

An open interest swing of -2,490.73% in XRP derivatives, tied to a 15-minute change window, has raised questions about market stress. The move stems from a small initial base of open contracts and does not inherently signal a sharp spot price shift, while XRP remains in a broader downtrend with weak momentum and repeated support tests.

As 2025 winds down, four sub-$0.10 tokens are in focus for early 2026: Midnight (NIGHT), VeChain (VET), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE). At publication, prices were $0.076, $0.015, $0.000007, and $0.000003 respectively, alongside notes on Ethereum–Cardano interoperability progress, technical rebounds, and rising derivatives activity.

According to reports, Triblu founder Joshua Dalton has outlined a scenario in which XRP could be adopted as part of a US strategic crypto reserve, potentially creating millionaires, billionaires, or even trillionaires among existing holders. Using US national debt estimates of about $38 trillion and Ripple’s escrow balance of roughly 34.4 billion XRP, he argues an XRP price near $883 would be needed to cover around 80% of that debt, far above the current level near $1.91. The idea faces major legal, policy, and market hurdles, and analysts highlight that government reserves, market liquidity, and regulatory clarity would strongly influence any such outcome.

CryptoDnes reports that Bitcoin Hyper's presale has raised $29.7 million and is about $300,000 from the $30 million threshold in December 2025. The token is priced at $0.013475, with a stated 39% APY and over 1.3 billion HYPER committed to staking. Purchases are available via the project's official site and the Best Wallet app.

On December 22, 2025, YoungHoon Kim shared a view that XRP could approach $1,000 over the next decade, contingent on large-scale accumulation, a weaker dollar, and elevated inflation. His X account has more than 388,000 followers, and he argued the scenario is numerically plausible despite skepticism that such a move would imply a market cap bigger than gold. XRP was around $1.87, with 2025 losses near 20%, as bears maintained control.
