On December 9, the crypto market traded within a narrow range, with major assets showing mixed performance. Total liquidations over the past 24 hours reached $119.3 billion, while the Fear & Greed Index held at 25, indicating sustained optimism tempered by caution. Bitcoin (BTC) declined 0.90% to $90,173.21, fluctuating between a high of $92,287.14 and a low of $89,618.06. Ethereum (ETH) inched up 0.18% to $3,108.56, maintaining its steady, slightly bullish short-term trend.

Derivatives positioning remained balanced, with BTC showing 49.64% longs versus 50.36% shorts, while ETH was evenly split at 50% for both sides, signaling a market lacking clear directional conviction. Meanwhile, several smaller assets delivered strong gains, including ONFDAO/USDT at +106.67%, STARGATE/USDT at +98.26%, and DSOUL/USDT at +51.60%, making them standout performers of the day.

In regulatory and institutional developments, Binance confirmed insider misconduct involving unauthorized use of employee credentials and has suspended the staff member involved while preparing legal action. The U.S. government approved NVIDIA’s export of H200 chips to China, stirring new discussions on tech policy and geopolitical strategy. CEOs of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank are set to meet with U.S. Senators to discuss progress on crypto regulatory legislation. The U.S. CFTC launched a pilot initiative allowing BTC, ETH, and USDC to be used as collateral in derivatives markets, marking a significant step toward integrating crypto with traditional finance. Harvard University notably increased its Bitcoin holdings in Q3 from $117 million to $443 million, surpassing its gold allocation.

Despite short-term indecision, the combination of institutional accumulation, regulatory advances, and improving structural signals provides meaningful support for the market’s medium-term outlook.

Crypto markets posted another day of modest gains on December 8, with major assets trending higher. Over the past 24 hours, total liquidations reached $109.59 billion, while the Fear & Greed Index held at 24, indicating gradually strengthening sentiment without signs of overheating. Bitcoin (BTC) rose 1.83% to $90,986.35, trading between $91,760.00 at the high and $87,729.86 at the low. Ethereum (ETH) outpaced BTC slightly, climbing 1.99% to $3,105.13, with intraday movement spanning from $3,149.52 to $2,929.28.

Derivatives data showed balanced positioning, with BTC at 50.25% longs and 49.75% shorts, while ETH recorded 49.81% longs versus 50.19% shorts. This equilibrium suggests an uncertain but gradually improving market outlook. A number of altcoins posted strong performances, led by RFOX/USDT with +88.26%, SUN/USDT with +87.21%, and NEXAI/USDT with +67.91%, highlighting ongoing speculative momentum.

In broader developments, Trump proposed replacing the current individual income tax system with tariff revenue, a policy shift that could significantly impact U.S. economic dynamics. Dubai Customs partnered with Binance to introduce cryptocurrency payment services, marking a major step for regulated digital payments in the region. Coinbase resumed sign-ups in India and announced plans to roll out fiat on-ramps next year. Bloomberg reported that the median stock price of U.S. and Canadian-listed DAT companies has plunged 43% this year, underscoring persistent market stress in high-rate environments. Upbit froze approximately $1.77 million in compromised assets and continues tracing remaining stolen funds.

Overall, the steady climb of BTC and ETH reflects improving confidence across the crypto market. With regulatory developments, payment integrations, and major platforms reactivating services, structural support for year-end market strength is gradually building.

The passage of stablecoin legislation in the United States has sparked a debate on Wall Street: will stablecoins actually significantly strengthen the dollar and become the primary source of demand for short-term U.S. Treasury bonds (T-bills)?

• While officials like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predict the dollar-denominated stablecoin market will grow from around $300 billion to $3 trillion by 2030, institutions like JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs emphasize that current optimistic forecasts are overstated.📌📌📌
• The new law requires stablecoins to be fully backed by short-term Treasury securities and cash equivalents.
• While this may create some increased demand, the zero-interest rate structure reduces its appeal, making it difficult to encourage large-scale capital outflows from savings or money markets.
• Furthermore, even if capital outflows do occur, the effect is largely a substitution of holders rather than a real increase in aggregate demand for Treasury bonds. ⏸⏸⏸
• Globally, the potential for stablecoin growth is seen as a major risk to emerging market banking systems.
• Standard Chartered predicts that developing countries could face up to $1 trillion in capital outflows, leading to tighter regulations.

Analysts generally believe that stablecoins will indeed grow in the coming years, but their contribution to US Treasury bonds and the dollar system is likely to be a “marginal improvement” rather than a major tool for addressing debt and deficit pressures.

Bitcoin bags are getting blown out today, as the price of BTC falls to nearly $80,000 and marks a new seven-month low.

• The continued downward pressure on its price has pushed Bitcoin into a so-called death cross—when the average price of an asset over the short term falls below the average price over the long term. It’s a technical pattern that typically signals extended bearish momentum. For traders who study charts, it confirms what permabulls don’t want to hear: It’s over—at least for now.
• It’s happening as the crypto market as a whole shrinks to $2.91 trillion, shedding nearly $60 billion in the past 24 hours alone. Almost every single coin in the top 100 by market cap is bleeding red.
• The Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment on a scale from 0 to 100, has cratered to 14 points—just four points above the year's low of 10 back in February. When this index drops below 20, it signals "extreme fear," and right now, traders are absolutely terrified.
• But it's not just crypto drama driving the market selloff. The macro picture is turning nasty. Just weeks ago, markets were pricing in a 97% chance the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in December. Now? Those odds have collapsed to somewhere between 22% and 43%, depending on which metric you check.
• Fed officials are openly divided, with many signaling they'd prefer to keep rates unchanged through year-end. For risk assets like crypto that thrive on easy money, this is poison.
• On Myriad, a prediction market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, traders are now overwhelmingly convinced that Bitcoin will not mark a new all-time high this year, placing odds at almost 90% that BTC will not top the $126K mark that it hit on October 6.
• The bearish vibes are so strong, Myriad traders also currently place 40% odds that Bitcoin falls as low as $69K. So how low will it go? Here’s what the charts say.
• Bitcoin opened today at $86,691 and immediately sold off, hitting an intraday low of $80,620 before bouncing slightly to its current price at $85,187. That's a 1.61% drop on the day after being almost 5% down over the last 24 hours. More importantly, for traders, it further confirms the death cross pattern that's been progressively forming since its all-time high in early October. The death cross pattern was first confirmed on Wednesday as Bitcoin slid to around $88,000—now it’s fallen deeper.
• Here's what's happening on the charts: Exponential Moving Averages, or EMAs, help traders identify trend direction by tracking the average price of an asset over the short, medium, and long term. When the short-term 50-day EMA falls below the longer-term 200-day EMA, it means bears are in control and the longer-term bull market structure has been broken.
• For Bitcoin, the 50-day EMA has now decisively crossed below the 200-day EMA. In short, this tells traders market momentum has shifted from bullish to bearish. The gap between both EMAs increases the more the price of BTC trades below those targets—and the bigger the gap, the stronger the trend.
• The price of Bitcoin is now trading well below both EMAs, which creates a situation where each bounce attempt faces immediate resistance, increasing the gap between the two EMAs, making the bearish trend even stronger. Bulls trying to push higher will need to first reclaim the 50-day EMA, then tackle the 200-day—a double wall of resistance that's historically tough to crack in one go.
• As for other technical indicators, the Average Directional Index, or ADX, sits at 41, which is considered "strong." ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction, with readings above 25 indicating a clear trend is in place. At 41, this tells us we’re not seeing just a minor correction, but a potentially extended move lower.
• The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, has plunged to 23.18, placing Bitcoin deep in oversold territory. RSI measures momentum on a scale from 0 to 100, with readings below 30 signaling oversold conditions where assets are potentially undervalued. However, "oversold" doesn't mean the selling has to stop—in strong downtrends, RSI can remain in oversold territory for extended periods as prices continue grinding lower. But, yes, this also provides hopium for momentum traders as it signals that the worst of it may be over. (The worst being an accelerated crash, not necessarily a steady drop.)
• The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is flashing "bearish impulse," meaning selling pressure is intensifying rather than easing. Meanwhile, the Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVP) shows the price of Bitcoin trading "below" key volume nodes, suggesting there's not much buying interest at current levels.
• So, everything is bearish, clearly. But where's the next support? How low can the price of BTC go? The chart reveals several key horizontal levels to watch.
• The immediate danger zone is $80,697, which briefly held today but looked shaky. If that breaks, the next major support sits at $74,555, followed by $65,727, and potentially all the way down to $53,059 if panic really sets in during a crypto winter. Those price levels have previous consolidation zones where significant trading volume accumulated, making them natural landing spots for oversold bounces.
• For resistances, traders will watch for BTC’s price breaking past $90,000 again and look at $100,000 as the major psychological target.
• Ethereum opened at $2,830.7 and dropped as low as $2,621 intraday before stabilizing around $2,798—a 1.16% loss on the day. While not as dramatic as Bitcoin's selloff, ETH's technical picture is equally concerning.
• Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum hasn't fully confirmed its death cross yet—the 50-day EMA is still technically above the 200-day, giving it a "long" signal on an indicator that is obviously hours away from changing to bearish. The gap is razor-thin and closing fast. More importantly, ETH’s price is trading well below both EMAs, rendering that technical distinction somewhat meaningless. The bearish momentum is clearly established.
• A good way to see the natural support zones is using the Fibonacci retracements: a set of natural clusters that appear during a trend, showing supports and resistances in a specific timeframe—not because of price, but because of natural proportions.
• Right now, ETH is testing the 0.618 Fibonacci level at approximately $2,755. If this level breaks, the next Fibonacci support doesn't appear until $2,180, which would represent a massive 22% drop from current prices, and would resolve a price market on Myriad betting on ETH’s moon or doom.
• The ADX for Ethereum is even stronger than Bitcoin's at 46, indicating the downtrend is rock-solid. Meanwhile, RSI sits at 28.46—not quite as oversold as Bitcoin but definitely in stressed territory. The Squeeze Momentum Indicator shows "bearish impulse" here too, confirming sellers are in control.
• XRP is showing relative strength compared to its larger peers, down just 0.50% to close at $1.98 after opening at $1.99 and hitting an intraday low of $1.81796. Don't let that modest percentage fool you though—the technical damage is real.
• Like Bitcoin, the Ripple-linked XRP has confirmed a full death cross with its 50-day EMA now below the 200-day. The price of XRP is trading beneath both EMAs, and with an ADX of 32, the downtrend has enough strength to continue. While 32 isn't as extreme as Bitcoin's 41 or Ethereum's 46, it's still well above the 25 threshold that confirms a trend is in place rather than just random chop.
• The RSI at 32.86 shows XRP is approaching oversold territory but hasn't quite reached the extreme stress levels of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This could mean two things: either XRP has more downside before finding equilibrium, or it's showing genuine relative strength that could make it a safer harbor if the broader market continues tanking.
• XRP had such a crazy year that its price action shows only two major horizontal support levels that should concern XRP holders—and that would be very painful for hodlers, considering the movement from the all-time high to those targets.
• The next major support zone sits at $1.589, which represents a potential 20% drop from current levels. If that breaks, there's very little support until $0.66, a catastrophic 67% plunge from current prices and almost 80% from all-time high zone that would take XRP back to early 2024 levels.

The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is showing "bearish impulse," and like the other coins, the volume profile indicates XRP’s price is trading below key volume levels, meaning there's not much buying interest stepping in to defend current prices.

While discussions are growing that Bitcoin-focused company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) could be removed from MSCI indices, the company’s chairman, Michael Saylor, maintained that the operating model is robust and that this possibility will not affect the company’s roadmap.

• MSCI has proposed removing “digital asset treasury companies” whose portfolios consist largely of cryptocurrencies from its indexes. While it noted that such companies “may exhibit characteristics similar to mutual funds,” it stated that these structures are not suitable for the indexes. The final decision will be announced on January 15th.
• In his latest post, Saylor explained that Strategy is an operating company. He pointed out that, in addition to its Bitcoin reserves, it also has a $500 million enterprise software division that has been serving corporations and public institutions for over 20 years.
• Saylor stated, “We understand that index providers periodically review their methodologies, but Strategy is not an ETF, it is not a closed-end fund, and it is certainly not a passive proxy for Bitcoin. We produce, operate, and grow just like any other business.” He added that inclusion or removal from the index would not change the company's strategy, operations, or long-term belief in BTC.
• JPMorgan issued a note this week warning that Strategy's removal from the index could lead to billions of dollars in passive outflows. Analysts estimate that a potential removal from MSCI could lead to a $2.8 billion outflow from passive funds. Overall, approximately $9 billion of Strategy's market capitalization is estimated to be tied to passive, index-tracking ETFs and mutual funds.

The sharp decline in Bitcoin's price is also putting pressure on Strategy shares, which have lost nearly 40% of their value this year.

The price of Cardano (ADA) was down on Friday after the blockchain suffered an unexpected chain split, which was caused by a malformed delegation transaction that triggered a software flaw. That created problems for Cardano users, and prompted a public apology from the user who claimed that they caused it.

• Intersect, the Cardano ecosystem’s governance organization, said in an incident report that the divergence began when the malformed transaction passed validation on newer node versions, but nodes running older software rejected it.
• “This exploited a bug in an underlying software library that was not trapped by validation code,” Intersect wrote. “The execution of this transaction caused a divergence in the blockchain, effectively splitting the network into two distinct chains: one containing the ‘poisoned’ transaction and a ‘healthy’ chain without it.”
• Earlier that day, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson posted on X that it was a “premeditated attack from a disgruntled [stake pool operator]” who was “actively looking at ways to harm the brand and reputation of [Cardano developer Input/Output Global].”
• According to Hoskinson, all Cardano users were impacted. The price of Cardano’s token ADA was down more than 6% recently, following the incident.
• According to the incident report, the mismatch caused operators to build blocks on different branches of the chain until patched node software was deployed. Developers and service providers coordinated an emergency response, and operators were urged to upgrade to rejoin the main chain.
• Intersect said the wallet responsible for the malformed transaction has been identified, while Hoskinson said it will take weeks to clean up the mess.
• “Forensic analysis suggests links to a participant from the Incentivized Testnet (ITN) era,” Intersect wrote. “As this incident constitutes a potential cyberattack on a digital network, relevant authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are being engaged to investigate.”
• Hours after the incident, an X user posting under the name Homer J. said they were responsible for submitting the transaction that triggered the split.
• “Sorry Cardano folks, it was me who endangered the network with my careless action yesterday evening,” they wrote, describing the attempt as a personal challenge to reproduce the “bad transaction” and said he relied on AI-generated instructions while blocking traffic on their server.
• “I've felt awful as soon as I realized the scale of what I've caused. I know there's nothing I can do to make up for all the pain and stress I've caused over the past X hours,” they added. “Difficult to quantify the negligence on my behalf. I am sorry, I truly am. I didn't have evil intentions.”
• Homer wrote that he did not sell or short ADA, did not coordinate with anyone else, and did not act for financial gain. “I'm ashamed of my carelessness and take full responsibility for it and whatever consequences will follow,” he said.
• According to Intersect, no user funds were lost, and most retail wallets were unaffected because they were running node components that handled the malformed transaction safely.
• Hoskinson, the outspoken co-founder of Cardano, claimed in a video message that the network “didn’t go down,” though users did encounter issues before the problem was fixed.

“It is important to note that the network did not stall. Block production continued on both chains throughout the incident, and at least some identical transactions appeared on both chains,” Intersect wrote. “However, to ensure the integrity of the ledger, exchanges and third-party providers largely paused deposits and withdrawals as a precautionary measure.”
