SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of SBI Holdings, is starting a new recruitment round for its "Rent Coin" lending program on Dec. 18, 2025, at 20:00 (JST), supporting 34 cryptocurrencies including XRP, BTC and DOGE. A Coinbase-linked Shiba Inu whale has moved 53,591,805,991 SHIB worth about $415,000 after roughly a year of inactivity, while an Ethereum whale's multisig wallet has reportedly lost around $27.3 million after a private key compromise. The Ethereum attacker has already routed approximately 4,100 ETH via Tornado Cash and still controls a leveraged ETH long position on Aave tied to the compromised multisig.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted that XRP ETFs have posted inflows for 30 consecutive sessions, and Canary Capital's U.S. spot XRP ETF drew nearly $250 million on day one. Shiba Inu saw nearly 100 billion SHIB move off exchanges in 24 hours, while total crypto market cap fell to $2.95 trillion and Cardano liquidations reached $1.24 million with a 1,303% imbalance.

The XRP Ledger Foundation has called on XRPL node operators and developers to urgently upgrade to rippled v3.0.0, which introduces several new but inactive amendments and core ledger fixes. Shiba Inu is trading near a downside liquidation area around $0.00777, while Solana has recorded a 40% surge in trading volume alongside a bullish golden cross pattern as its price recovers toward $132.9.

Shiba Inu's burn rate has sharply rebounded by 1,567% after a prior 62.96% decline, even as SHIB's price remains under pressure. Dogecoin is sliding back toward 2024 price levels and could fall to $0.1 or even $0.062 if selling persists. XRP's on-chain payment volume has dropped to near-zero, reflecting timing and liquidity dynamics rather than a structural network failure.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has outlined two potential downside zones for Bitcoin, signaling targets near $81,852 and $59,403 per BTC. Ripple completed a $500 million share sale at a $40 billion valuation, while Bitcoin and XRP gained Wall Street exposure via Bitwise’s 10 Crypto Index Fund listing on NYSE Arca. Shiba Inu saw a surge in whale transfers, a 1.06 trillion SHIB rise on exchanges and an eight-trillion-token outflow from centralized platforms, pointing to shifting volatility and positioning.

A long-time Bitcoin holder has expanded an Ethereum long to 120,094 ETH with a liquidation level at $2,234.69 while ETH trades near $3,193. Ripple scheduled its Swell conference for Oct. 27–29 in New York City, and Dogecoin's spot-exchange activity jumped 61% as its price moved between $0.131 and $0.156 ahead of a key Federal Reserve decision. Dogecoin recently climbed from $0.134 to $0.153 before easing back within its trading range.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has maintained his cautious outlook on Bitcoin, suggesting the recent rally may represent the final retest of a broadening top formation. He assigned a 30% probability that BTC already peaked this cycle. Brandt identified the $88,000–$92,000 range as critical support and noted a target zone below $70,000 if the pattern plays out.

XRP saw a 1,694,200% liquidation imbalance after a 1.43% price drop, with long positions accounting for nearly all losses, data show. Ethereum experienced a network disruption affecting approximately 23% of nodes due to a Prysm client bug on December 5. More than 2,000 BTC, worth $185.16 million, were withdrawn from Binance in two transactions.

Bitcoin fell more than 20% over the past month to reach $80,000, its lowest level in seven months. The cryptocurrency has dropped over 40% from its early October peak above $126,000, marking November as its worst monthly performance since June 2022. Institutional investors including ARK Invest continue accumulating positions despite ongoing volatility.
