Bit.com, a cryptocurrency derivatives platform, will begin shutting down its exchange services and migrating user assets to Matrixport on December 27, 2025. The phased wind‑down is expected to run until the end of March 2026 and will affect both derivatives and spot trading access for its global user base.

On December 27, Bitcoin traded near $87,532 after gaining 0.68% in the past 24 hours, with intraday resistance identified around $87,702. Analysts note that BTC is likely to remain confined within the $87,000–$89,000 range, with limited volatility expected through the end of the month.

Galaxy Research indicates Solana's inflation reform will not advance in 2026, with associate Lucas Tcheyan saying SIMD-0411 will likely be withdrawn without a vote. Priorities are shifting to market microstructure and onchain efficiency, while Galaxy expects Solana-based Internet Capital Markets to reach $2 billion from roughly $750 million today. SOL traded near $123 with a small daily gain.

According to WazirX CEO Nischal Shetty, the exchange’s ownership dispute with Binance has moved into formal litigation. The conflict stems from Binance’s denial of a 2019 acquisition, while a 2024 multi-signature wallet hack that compromised over $230 million adds complexity. Shetty indicated user operations will remain unaffected during the legal process.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes recently accumulated around $1.03M in LDO and roughly $973K in PENDLE while both tokens traded near compressed price structures after extended declines. PENDLE and LDO have since shown rising derivatives participation, long positioning, and technical breakouts, suggesting early positioning for potential continuation rather than late-stage momentum chasing. If PENDLE sustains levels near $1.95 and LDO overcomes resistance around $0.67, both assets may push towards higher resistance areas within the DeFi sector.

On December 27, 2025, DeBot said it would fully reimburse users after a security incident that impacted wallets generated or imported before December 10. On-chain data indicates about $255,000 was moved, with funds routed to BSC addresses and partially through Tornado Cash. The team said secure wallet addresses created after December 10 were unaffected.

On December 27, Ethereum traded near $2,928 after gaining 0.63% over the previous 24 hours. The ETH/USD pair is fluctuating between support at $2,921 and resistance at $2,938, with low volume and no clear dominance from buyers or sellers, suggesting continued sideways movement into the end of the week.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Bitcoin has been underperforming while short-term holders have reportedly endured 60 straight days of deeply negative STH MVRV values. This on-chain pattern, highlighted by market quant Burak Kesmeci, coincides with BTC trading below its 111-day simple moving average and signals an extended stress phase for reactive investors. With Bitcoin hovering around $87,380 and little daily price movement, the market appears caught between potential capitulation-driven selling and a possible stabilization phase.
