Filecoin (FIL) climbed more than 13% to trade near $1.46 as trading volume surged ahead of its Onchain Cloud mainnet launch scheduled for January 2026. With participation rising and price breaking out of a recent base, traders are watching whether the upgrade-driven momentum can carry FIL toward the $1.60–$1.70 range.

Avalanche (AVAX) jumped more than 11% to trade near $13.57 after Grayscale’s updated ETF filing introduced staking rewards, raising optimism around regulated, yield-generating exposure to the token. With volume surging and a confirmed technical breakout, AVAX is holding key support above $12.85 as traders eye a potential move toward the $14.30–$14.80 range.

WalletConnect Token (WCT) is consolidating near $0.086 after a sharp breakout fueled by a 1,700% surge in trading volume, signaling aggressive short-term positioning rather than thin liquidity. With exchange listings, staking incentives, and early-stage supply dynamics driving volatility, WCT remains in price discovery as traders watch key support near $0.082 for continuation toward the $0.095–$0.10 zone.

Collect on Fanable (COLLECT) extended its post-launch rally, trading near $0.045 after gaining nearly 60% over the past week, driven by strong speculative participation and tightly constrained circulating supply. With just 18% of tokens in circulation and trading volume far exceeding market cap, COLLECT remains highly volatile as traders weigh launch-driven momentum against early-stage price discovery risks.

Zcash (ZEC) has outperformed the broader crypto market, rising about 30% over the past week to trade near $536, even as sentiment remains firmly risk-off. Supported by improving liquidity, a fixed-supply profile, and renewed attention from figures like Arthur Hayes, ZEC is holding key technical support around $525, with traders watching for a potential push toward the $580–$600 zone despite continued Bitcoin dominance.

Lighter has confirmed its LIT Token Generation Event for December 30, 2025, allocating 25% of the total supply through an immediate, fully unlocked airdrop and reserving 50% for community incentives. With BingX confirming a spot listing and pre-market LIT perpetuals on Hyperliquid drawing over $94 million in daily volume, the launch is shaping up as one of the most closely watched token events of the year.

Gold and silver prices pulled back sharply as traders locked in profits after a powerful multi-month rally, with silver dropping nearly 9% and gold sliding about 5% following CME margin hikes that triggered leveraged unwinds. Despite the correction, tokenized precious metals saw nearly $900 million in trading volume, and technical structures—particularly for Tether Gold (XAU₮)—suggest consolidation rather than a breakdown in the broader uptrend.

Kinesis Silver (KAG) is consolidating near $81 after a strong rally tied to silver’s breakout above $80 per ounce, with price holding key support around $75. Backed by tight physical supply, strong industrial demand, and a weaker dollar, KAG’s technical structure remains bullish, keeping the $90 region in focus if resistance near $85 gives way.

The global crypto market held above $3 trillion as thin year-end liquidity kept prices range-bound, with Bitcoin consolidating below $90,000 and Ethereum tracking sideways near $3,000. As short-term momentum faded, investor focus shifted toward structural themes shaping 2026, including institutional adoption, derivatives dominance, DeFi governance reforms, and growing interest in tokenized real-world assets such as gold and silver.
