Shiba Inu is signaling a potential rebound as its hourly chart approaches a golden cross, with the 9-day and 26-day moving averages nearing convergence around $0.000007271. SHIB trades near $0.000007328 with a modest 0.38% daily gain, while 24-hour volume has climbed to $93.52 million amid ongoing volatility below the $0.00001 level and inconsistent token burns. Despite recent supply reductions via dead wallets, persistent sell-offs and bearish sentiment suggest a sustained rally may be difficult without a stronger catalyst from the current technical setup.

Cardano's Midnight (NIGHT) saw trading activity surge over the last 24 hours, with volume up more than 68% to $3.53 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley argues that the current Bitcoin drawdown, including a roughly 25% drop from its $126,000 all-time high, fits a recurring crypto market pattern. He points to Bitcoin's 12% decline in Q1 2025 followed by rebounds in Q2 and Q3, and expects a broader recovery in Q1 2026 as total crypto market capitalization has fallen from about $4.20 trillion to $2.97 trillion. Other analysts such as Tom Lee and Julien Bittel also highlight oversold signals and historical precedents for a rebound, though some place the timeline closer to mid-2026.

In the past 30 days, Bitcoin has fluctuated between $85,000 and $94,000, staying below the key $100,000 mark while analysts monitor signs of a possible rebound. Tom Lee views Bitcoin as extremely oversold, pointing to an RSI under 30 and historical patterns that have previously led to average rebounds of about 25% within 60 days. With BTC recently trading around $89,972.73 and volatility driven by whale activity, market participants are watching whether support near $85,000 and a recovery before year's end can hold.

Over the past 24 hours, SOL's trading volume climbed more than 40% to over $3.1 billion, while its price rose 1.6% to $132.9.

On December 15, 2025, Ripple Labs' Managing Director for Middle East & Africa, Reece Merrick, underscored South Africa as a strategic market for the company amid rapid regulatory advances. He noted that the FSCA had received 512 CASP license applications and approved 300 by December 2025, shaping a more regulated ecosystem that could support Ripple's partnerships, including its custody collaboration with Absa Bank. Merrick also pointed to a 52% surge in Sub-Saharan Africa transactions to $205 billion between July 2024 and June 2025 as evidence of growing regional crypto adoption.

Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor said Bitcoin's daily trading volume now surpasses the financial activity of Google, Microsoft and the U.S. Navy's spending capacity. Speaking at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai on December 3, 2025, Saylor described Bitcoin as "the foundation of economic markets." He noted growing support from U.S. government officials, including the FBI director and the president.

Ripple executive Reece Merrick links growing RLUSD demand to stablecoins' evolution from trading instruments to global payment infrastructure. On-chain stablecoin transfers have expanded from $0.5 trillion in 2020 to a projected $46 trillion in 2025, exceeding the combined settled volume of Visa and Mastercard. The executive cited B2B settlements, merchant adoption, and cross-border remittances as key drivers, with the sector growing approximately 150% annually.
