  • The broader crypto market, including major cryptocurrencies like XRP, solana, and ether, also saw gains of up to 1%.
  • Tax-loss selling has subsided, one analyst said explaining the upswing, while others attributed the uptick to haven demand.

"Market sentiment is improving, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum transitioning into bullish trend regimes," Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, who was recently voted as the top crypto analyst, said in a Telegram message to CoinDesk.

"We turned constructive following the late-December options expiry, anticipating that tax-loss selling would subside and that trading desks would regain flexibility to deploy risk into the new year," Thielen added.

Bitcoin and the wider crypto market mostly remained depressed through December as U.S.-based holders supposedly liquidated their holdings at a loss to offset capital gains and reduce overall tax liability. Investors intentionally realize losses on underperforming assets to lower the tax owed on profitable sales.

Bitcoin underperformed Nasdaq, gold, and other precious metals through 2025, ending the year with a 6% loss. The performance was particularly weak during the North American trading hours in the final weeks of the year.

Bitcoin's latest uptick coincides with renewed geopolitical stress from the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This rise is increasingly viewed as a sign of cryptocurrencies attracting safe-haven demand.

"We view the simultaneous surge across multiple asset classes following U.S. military action in Venezuela as a textbook flight to quality. Safe havens such as gold and silver are rallying sharply as investors price in elevated geopolitical risk that could persist or escalate," Ryan Lee, chief analyst at cryptocurency exchange Bitget, said in an email.

"Oil, for now, remains relatively contained around the $60 per barrel level, which helps limit immediate inflation pressure, but markets are clearly discounting the risk of future energy disruptions and tighter liquidity conditions that may compel the Federal Reserve to keep rates elevated for longer," Lee added.

Looking ahead, the bias remains bullish while BTC's price holds above the 21-day exponential moving average, according to Thielen.

"Early ETF inflows have been encouraging, and as long as Bitcoin holds above its 21-day moving average, the near-term bias remains skewed to the upside," Thielen said.

The 11 bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pulled in over $471 million on Friday, the largest single-day tally since Nov. 11, according to data source SoSoValue.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
