Crypto Market News Today, December 2: Another Bitcoin Price Crash, Vanguard ETFs Access, And Trump Announcement

[Ben Graham]

The biggest news today comes from Bitcoin price, which slid again, kicking off another chaotic round of crypto market. People are bouncing between charts, rumors, and politics as the Trump buzz heats up ahead of his 2 PM announcement. And in the middle of all this, Vanguard and its Bitcoin and crypto ETFs access is becoming real.

Some of these had people thinking that things would never happen, especially with the Vanguard known stance towards Bitcoin and crypto. These moving pieces are crashing into each other at once, and are yet to show up in the Bitcoin price, and are setting the tone of today’s crypto market news.

Vanguard Bitcoin Shift and Market Pressure

Bullish news coming from the Federal Reserve as they called an end to quantitative tightening that could reshape the crypto market in the next few months. This means liquidity is loosening, at least on paper, which always finds its way into Bitcoin price sooner or later.

Pair the above news with Trump regarding crypto speculation that swirls today, and it makes sense why the Bitcoin price is sending the market jumpy. If he hints at anything remotely pro-crypto, the reaction will be instant for Bitcoin.

Then there’s the shocker nobody expected. Vanguard Bitcoin access is now official. The firm added BlackRock’s spot ETF to its platform, letting clients trade it starting today. This is the same Vanguard that insisted it wanted nothing to do with crypto.

Now, the $11 trillion worth of investor accounts suddenly have a door open to the crypto market. On the surface, the news might be just another headline, but within the crypto market, people immediately linked it to long-term support for the Bitcoin price. When a giant flips, others follow.

From the Bitcoin price point of view, mining economics are back in the conversation, too. The current electrical cost to produce one Bitcoin sits somewhere around $71,000. Historically, Bitcoin price has almost never fallen below that mining cost number. It’s one of the weird fundamentals that matters.

Technically? Bitcoin and pretty much the whole crypto market look exhausted. Oversold readings everywhere, RSI scraping levels we haven’t seen in months. While today, in 2025, gold ran up 60% while Bitcoin is still stuck around –10%. The crypto market blames liquidity and cautious institutional news.

Long-Term Market Talk and Trump Crypto News

Not all doom and gloom, we still have voices like Ricardo Salinas saying people should mortgage their homes to buy Bitcoin, but it shows how strong conviction still is. Buckminster Fuller’s old idea about wealth being tied to energy keeps resurfacing, especially after Elon Musk echoed something similar recently.

True.

That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

Everything now hangs on the Trump crypto moment coming this afternoon. Whether it moves the Bitcoin price immediately or not, today shows one thing loud and clear: between the Fed shift and Vanguard Bitcoin access, the long-term case and fundamentals for crypto are getting stronger as days go by, especially since last week.

Crypto is still bullish.

Vanguard Crypto ETF Greenlight Could End The Crypto Crash Today

By Akiyama Felix

The Vanguard crypto ETF approval may go down as one of the most crucial turning points in this entire market cycle. Crypto today is still reeling from weeks of bloodshed, sharp deliquidations, and fear-driven selling – but this single greenlight could flip sentiment faster than most expect.

For years, Vanguard remained the last major U.S. asset manager to remain anti-crypto, refusing to list or support Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs. Now that the firm is opening its platform to crypto ETFs and mutual funds, 50M Vanguard clients suddenly gain access to regulated digital asset exposure.

At a moment when the market needs a lifeline, this could be the spark that ends the crypto crash altogether.

By Akiyama Felix

Monad crypto keeps surprising the market. Even after its chaotic launch, Monad is still moving forward, while Zcash continues slipping into a steady decline that has lasted for weeks or years in crypto time.

Bitcoin/BTC, as usual, sits in the middle of the storm as the benchmark everyone watches. The different ways Monad, Zcash, and even Bitcoin react to the same market pressures say a lot about what actually matters in crypto in 2025. Trust, momentum, and narrative.

With both Monad and Zcash being compared to Bitcoin almost daily, the gap between optimism and worry in crypto has rarely been clearer.
