The Solana network has seen its validator count crash by more than 68% over the past three years, falling from thousands of active nodes to just around 800. The massive decline in validators has sparked discussions about whether this could become a threat to the blockchain network or a natural pruning of inactive nodes to increase efficiency. Solana loses 68% Of Its Validators In 3 Years A new report from Criptonocias reveals that Solana has experienced a dramatic decline in the number of its validators, active and non-active, since March 2023. This decrease has raised concerns across the crypto community about the network’s overall health and security. Over the last…

Silver this week crossed the $60-an-ounce mark for the first time, as momentum continues to build in one of the best-performing commodities of the year. Analysts at Sprott believe the main driver behind silver’s recent record-setting run has been a dwindling free-trading inventory. In Sprott’s December precious metals report, analysts led by Paul Wong wrote that the global silver inventory has reached a point where any further demand is “creating price convexity” — when price changes speed up as the metal’s supply tightens. “In prior commentaries, we have noted that global silver inventories were being reduced to the point where the free float of silver availabili…

Cryptocurrencies have traded up and down over the past week following a rough correction across the board. *By the way, the Bank of Canada Press Conference is currently ongoing for those interesting, you can access it right here – No Cut for the BoC, 2.25% rate unchanged* While key long-term support levels arrested the steep decline and dip-buyers stepped in, the market failed to hold its highs despite a strong session yesterday. This afternoon's event will be critical for all asset classes, including crypto. Here is why: FOMC events often trigger sharp swings between risk-on and risk-off sentiment. As risk assets, cryptocurrencies often correlate with equities. For…

The Panamanian government said on Wednesday the sale of more than 122,000 tonnes of copper concentrate stored at First Quantum Minerals’ (TSX: FM) idled Cobre Panama mine generated $29 million in royalties. Commerce Minister Julio Moltó said the money will fund urgent public works across the country, including upgrades to health centres, school expansions, road repairs and improvements to water and electrical systems. The minister oted the export of concentrate already on site was allowed under the Safe Preservation and Management Plan, which requires First Quantum to cover the mine’s $15-million-a-month maintenance bill. That cost has reached about $360 million since…

Bitcoin climbed to a three-week high on Tuesday before slipping back, a move that has traders and analysts watching closely. According to TradingView data, Bitcoin price topped out at $94,600 late in the session — its highest level since November 25 — then eased to about $92,450 at the time of reporting. Santiment, a blockchain analytics firm, said social chatter calling for “higher” and “above” exploded during the spike, but market action remained uneven. Bitcoin: Trader Frenzy And Skepticism Reports have disclosed that the surge drew heavy retail attention and a flurry of social-media posts urging more buying. Some market watchers questioned how organic the rise wa…

The wave pattern on the EUR/USD 4-hour chart has transformed, but overall remains quite clear. There is no indication that the upward trend segment, which began in January 2025, has been canceled, but the wave structure has become significantly more complex since July 1 and has taken on a more extended form. In my view, the instrument has completed the formation of corrective wave 4, which took a very unconventional shape. Within this wave, we see exclusively corrective structures, so there is no doubt about the corrective nature of the decline. In my opinion, the upward trend segment is not yet complete, and its targets stretch as far as the 1.25 level. The a-b-c-d-e wav…

Today, the AUD/USD pair continues its consolidation near December highs as markets await the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The Fed is expected to announce its decision during the North American session today, and most analysts anticipate a 25-basis-point rate cut. This expectation has been one of the key factors behind the recent weakening of the U.S. dollar to its lowest levels since late October and the notable rise in AUD/USD observed over the past two weeks. However, market participants prefer to refrain from aggressive buying and are waiting for additional signals regarding the Fed's future policy path. Key attention will be focused on updated economic p…

Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week on 10 December 2025, Michael Saylor said that Bitcoin is indeed digital gold and that once everyone understands it for what it is, the global credit is will be built on it. According to Saylor, Strategy is currently acquiring nearly $500 million to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin per week and has managed $60 billion worth of equities in the past 14 months, becoming the fifth largest treasury in the S&P universe, well on its way to becoming the largest in about four to eight years, given the same pace of accumulation continues. According to him, the entire cabinet of the US, along with President Donald Trump, and financial as well a…

Trade analysis and recommendations for trading the Japanese yen The price test of 156.63 occurred when the MACD indicator had just begun moving downward from the zero mark, which confirmed the correct entry point for selling the dollar. However, the trade resulted in a loss, as the pair never moved downward. In the afternoon, market attention will be focused on the results of the FOMC meeting, where a decision to cut the key interest rate is expected. Since markets have already priced in the likelihood of a rate cut, the main interest lies in Powell's tone and his comments on future monetary policy. A key moment will be Powell's assessment of economic conditions and infla…

Trade analysis and recommendations for the British pound The price test of 1.3316 occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved far above the zero mark, which limited the pound's upward potential. For this reason, I did not buy. The absence of important fundamental statistics from the UK provided only slight support to buyers of the British pound. Amid the overall uncertainty related to the Federal Reserve's next steps, a short break from negative news allowed investors to focus on technical factors and recover part of the previously lost positions. However, it is worth noting that this growth is most likely corrective in nature and does not indicate a continuation o…

Trade analysis and recommendations for the euro The price test of 1.1645 occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved far above the zero mark, which limited the pair's upward potential. For this reason, I did not buy the euro. The unexpected decline in industrial production in Italy has heightened concerns about the state of the eurozone economy. This alarming signal, following a series of mixed economic indicators, casts doubt on the prospects for a steady recovery of the region's manufacturing sector. The weakening of the euro triggered by the Italian data reflects increased risk aversion in financial markets. But this afternoon, the key event will be the publicat…

When Strategy disclosed its acquisition of more than 10,000 Bitcoin worth $1 billion, market watchers anticipated an immediate rally. Instead, Bitcoin’s price barely moved. The muted response was not a reflection of weak demand but the result of how the purchase was executed. In response to the confusion surrounding the stagnant price action, Quinten Francois explained the mechanics behind the transaction, clarifying why such a large buy left no visible impact on the chart. The Invisible Plumbing Behind Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation On 9 December 2025, Andrew Tate questioned why a massive 10,000 BTC buy failed to nudge the market. The answer, as analyst Francois exp…

Ripple’s most recent funding round has become one of the biggest crypto-related deals of the year, mainly because of who joined in and how the deal was structured. According to details shared in Bloomberg’s report, major Wall Street names, including Citadel Securities, Fortress Investment Group, Brevan Howard, and Galaxy Digital, put $500 million into Ripple, giving the company a valuation of around $40 billion. This instantly turned the round into one of the strongest signs yet that traditional finance is taking a serious interest in the XRP ecosystem. How Wall Street Structured The Deal To Protect Themselves In early November 2025, Ripple closed a major private equit…

Rep. Keith Self, a Republican from Texas, filed a last-minute amendment to the Must-Pass $900 billion US Defence Bill that would ban the Federal Reserve from creating or piloting a US central bank digital currency (CBDC). On 9 December 2025, the Republican took to X to say, “Promises were broken to include this language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). My amendment would fix the bill.” Self’s “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State” proposal would bar the Fed from testing, developing or launching any CBDC. He submitted an amendment to add a full ban on CBDCs to the 2026 NDAA. He argued that the earlier leadership promises to include similar language were broken in…

Twenty One Capital is having a rough day today. The crypto treasury firm made its big Wall Street debut yesterday, and so far, it does not look pretty. The stock, trading under the ticker XXI, dropped more than 24% on its opening day and closed at $10.80. For the uninitiated, Twenty One Capital is basically a massive crypto vault majority-owned by Tether, the crypto exchange Bitfinex, with the Japanese technology investor SoftBank owning a smaller slice. The trio went public with this project through a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) deal backed by Cantor Fitzgerald. Cantor is an investment banking and brokerage firm, currently chaired by Brandon Lutnick, the…

Crypto analyst Cryptollica published a new XRP/USD 2-week chart on December 8 via TradingView, arguing that the altcoin may be replaying the same structural pattern that preceded its explosive 2017 rally. With current price action pivoting around the key $1.95 level and technical targets projected as high as $9–$13. What Happens If XRP Repeats The 2017 Fractal? The analysis uses a long-range log chart from Binance, where the latest candle in the screenshot shows XRP trading around $2.0892. In this timeframe, the analyst divides XRP’s history into mirrored cycles: 2014–2017 on the left and 2021–2025 on the right, each broken into labeled segments “Part 1,” “Part 2” and “P…

The bubble in the gold market was discussed at the end of October when XAU/USD prices plummeted off a cliff after reaching a record high. This conversation is still going on. The Bank for International Settlements warns investors not to get carried away with buying the precious metal, which increasingly resembles a risky asset. Since the beginning of 2025, the S&P 500 has set 20 record highs, while gold has achieved 50. According to the BIS, for the first time in 50 years, a situation has emerged where both stock indices and the precious metal are in a bubble. The first sign is the activity of retail investors. Typically, FOMO, or the fear of missing out, manifests i…

Bitcoin has failed to return to its weekly peak around $94,600, indicating the caution with which buyers currently view the cryptocurrency market. The main reason for this hesitance is the Federal Reserve meeting, the results of which will be announced this evening. In the meantime, another disappointing aspect for the market may be Trump's new national security strategy, which does not mention cryptocurrencies or blockchain—despite his previous calls to make the US a global crypto hub. The strategy emphasizes the priority of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies for protecting national interests. It highlights the United States' intention to secure global …

Key takeaways AUD is leading the FX space on renewed RBA hawkishness, while the JPY remains the weakest major currency as BoJ signals flexibility on policy.USD/JPY’s recent five-day rally is losing steam, with momentum indicators and resistance confluence pointing to a potential minor bearish reversal.A break below 156.00 on the USD/JPY could open the way toward 155.35 and 154.40, while a move above 157.15 would negate the downside setup. In the FX market, a “K-shaped” performance has emerged with the AUD rallying and outperforming among the major currencies against the US dollar due to the hawkish monetary policy guidance from the Australian central bank, RBA.

A senior US lawmaker is pressing the State Department over what he calls troubling links between Ivanhoe Atlantic and Chinese state interests. In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Representative John Moolenaar, who chairs the House committee focused on China, said the department has backed companies with “concerning ties” to the Chinese Communist Party. He named Ivanhoe Atlantic as one example and pointed to what he called its “well-documented” connections to Chinese state-owned enterprises. Ivanhoe Atlantic’s majority shareholder is I-Pulse Inc., a US firm founded and chaired by mining billionaire Robert Friedland, who also founded and co-chairs Canadia…

There are multiple factors behind the bullish price movements over the past few days. While sentiment remains uncertain among many traders, today’s FOMC meeting, at which a 25 bps rate cut is expected, will make even the most risk-averse investor bullish on crypto heading into 2026. Right now, the best crypto to buy is likely on the Solana chain, with the SOL ecosystem showing signs of life after a multi-month liquidity drain. Prominent Crypto Twitter trader @TedPillows said yesterday (December 9) that BTC appears to be mimicking the 2021 cycle, with a similar double-top structure and a similar bounce-back to the last bull run. He believes the chart indicates Bitcoin cou…

As geopolitical realignments accelerate, BRICS nations are rapidly expanding their gold holdings as part of a broad shift away from US-dollar-denominated reserves. Since 2020, BRICS countries have increased gold’s share of their total reserves by 102%, driven by both aggressive central-bank buying and rising metal prices. In contrast, Western nations have seen only a 12% increase – growth almost entirely attributable to price appreciation rather than new tonnage. This widening gap underscores the momentum behind global de-dollarization and highlights a powerful structural catalyst for sustained gold demand in the years ahead.

Overview: The outcome of the FOMC meeting is the main focus today. With the market discounting at least two cuts next year compared with the median projection in September that one cut would be appropriate, it is difficult not to anticipate a hawkish cut. The greenback has rallied after both the September and October rate cuts. The Bank of Canada also meets today. While there is no doubt that it will stand pat, the issue is how much it pushes against creeping expectations for a rate hike in H2 26. The US dollar has a slightly softer tone mostly within the ranges seen yesterday. The Canadian dollar is the laggard and is nearly flat. Most emerging market currencies are firm…

A new technical analysis shared by crypto analyst BitGuru on the social media platform X shows that Dogecoin is trading at an important price level that could set the stage for an upward shift. His chart shows a familiar structure forming at a major support level, one that has acted as the starting point for a previous rally in the year. The price action now developing is similar to this earlier setup, showing that Dogecoin may be preparing for another recovery move above $0.2. Dogecoin Returns To An Important Support Zone Dogecoin has spent the past few weeks trading between $0.13 and $0.15 without a clear path to bullish price action. This recent price action is an ext…
