Trump Media and Technology Group said it will distribute a new digital token to DJT shareholders through Crypto.com, with one token per whole share at a future record date. The firm emphasized the asset is not equity or a security and may be non-transferable, with utility across Truth Social, Truth+ and Truth Predict.

Standard Chartered's digital assets research head Geoff Kendrick projects that XRP could reach $8 by the end of 2026, implying roughly a 330% gain from current levels and a new high above its prior $3.84 peak. The outlook is tied to clearer US regulation, growing institutional access via XRP ETFs with about $1.27 billion in assets, and Ripple's expanding payment network. Analysts also highlight tightening on-chain supply and a potential technical breakout around the $1.88 level, with XRP recently trading near $1.86.

Bitcoin hovered around $88.3k within the $85k–$90k band after the 10/10 selloff set a bearish tone that eased in December near $84.5k support. Since 15 December, each push into the $90k zone has been rejected, while thin year-end liquidity and quiet equity benchmarks signaled caution. Seven straight spot ETF outflow days from 18–29 December and rising realized volatility since October highlight fragile demand and growing breakout risk.

At press time, Ethereum trades around $2,970 after gaining close to 2% over the past week. Analysts highlight $4,800 as a key barrier, with scenarios pointing to $5,000 on a daily breakout and a potential path toward $8,500 if resistance gives way. Short interest has eased while traders track support at $2,800 and nearby inflection levels.

Following a Dec. 27 exploit on the Flow blockchain, loan settlements on NFT lending platform Flowty were halted after the Cadence execution environment was paused until the morning of Dec. 29. Flowty reported 11 loans maturing during the outage, with multiple defaults and two unsettled positions, and has since stopped all settlements while keeping affected loans outstanding. The FLOW token price fell sharply after the incident and continued to decline to $0.086 as ecosystem functionality, including token swaps, remains impaired.

Bitcoin fell about 32% from its $126,000 ATH and settled into a $85,000–$90,000 range after selling intensified on 10 October and through Q4 2025. Long‑term holders briefly flipped from distributing to buying, while U.S. spot ETFs saw $1.12 billion in outflows (17–29 December) followed by a $335 million daily inflow, shaping the Q1 2026 outlook.

In late November, Coinbase’s large internal wallet migration distorted Bitcoin long-term holder metrics, making routine fund shuffling appear like renewed selling pressure. After adjusting for this effect, on-chain data suggests long-term holders are only modestly reducing sales, while ETFs and recent U.S. Federal Reserve moves continue to shape short-term market direction. Analysts outline multiple scenarios from stabilization to renewed distribution, emphasizing that any shift back to steady accumulation would likely take time to confirm.

As 2025 draws to a close, analysts assess whether Dogecoin can reach $1 in 2026. According to TradingView, DOGE trades around $0.123, with resistance at $0.127–$0.130 and a falling wedge shaping near‑term action. Projections range from a move above $0.165 in early 2026 to longer‑term paths that target $1.
