NFT

NFTs are unique digital identifiers recorded on a blockchain that certify ownership and authenticity of a specific asset. Moving past the "PFP" craze, 2026 NFTs emphasize utility, representing everything from IP rights and digital fashion to RWA titles and event ticketing. This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

XRP gains traction as backbone for tokenized dollar movement

XRP gains traction as backbone for tokenized dollar movement

The post XRP gains traction as backbone for tokenized dollar movement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. For years, XRP’s market identity was shaped by the dynamics that defined the early crypto era: retail-driven speculation, regulatory uncertainty, and an enduring belief that blockchain rails could overturn decades-old banking infrastructure. That narrative was volatile, adversarial, and deeply cyclical as XRP’s performance rose and fell with court headlines and sentiment waves rather than measurable adoption. However, as 2025 draws to a close, a different framing is taking hold. Instead of being viewed as another participant in crypto’s competitive L1 ecosystem, XRP is increasingly being evaluated through the lens of settlement infrastructure. It is a narrative rooted not in token appreciation or ecosystem expansion, but in whether XRP can function as part of the liquidity and messaging stack through which tokenized dollars eventually move. A new report from Digital Asset Solutions (DAS) crystallizes this shift. The firm argues that Ripple’s ecosystem, bolstered by a regulated stablecoin, maturing institutional tools, and a more stable policy backdrop, is now positioning itself adjacent to SWIFT and the correspondent banking network rather than Ethereum or Solana. While the analysis does not claim that XRP has already made this transition, it argues that the market is beginning to price the possibility of one. So, the reframing is subtle but significant, as the question is no longer whether XRP will replace money. The question now is whether XRP can become part of the plumbing that moves it. Policy clarity and product maturity are driving XRP’s narrative change The clearest catalyst for this narrative shift is the alignment between US policy and Ripple’s product architecture. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July, established the first federal regime for payment stablecoins. Its requirements of a full-reserve backing, strict oversight, and transparent redemption mechanics converted stablecoins from regulatory grey zones into eligible settlement instruments for corporates and, eventually,…

NFT Sales Hit New Yearly Lows

NFT Sales Hit New Yearly Lows

The post NFT Sales Hit New Yearly Lows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp NFT sales have been a 2025 to forget so far, with the second half of the year showing a sharp monthly net decline, according to data from Cryptoslam. November was the worst month of the calendar year, with just $320 million in total sales. The reduced market activity represents a 66% decrease from the yearly high of just below $700 million witnessed in January.  December is faring even worse with just $73 million in sales in the first 10 days. If the same downward trend continues, it will be the worst close of a calendar year since 2021. NFTs and the larger digital collectible market are currently fading away into the backdrop after missing the entire 2024-2025 bull(ish) season. Here is the graph of the NFT performance over the years: Image Source: Cryptoslam The black line shows the actual sales activity of these digital collectibles for the last 5 years, while the blue and orange lines represent unique buyers and unique sellers, respectively. It is clear that the NFT market is contracting exponentially, and barring a major price action, it could be relegated to the backdrop of the Web3 revolution. It had its major heyday in 2021-2022, with peak monthly sales of $6 billion in January 2022, but now it is only a fraction of that. Interest has plummeted to new lows, one after the other.  NFT Market Capitalization Here is the graph of the total market capitalization of NFTs: Advertisement &nbsp Image Source: CoinGecko Currently, the NFT market is worth around $3 billion, down from its 2022 high of $17 billion, a 82.35% drop. The market cap has also lost 62% since the start of the current calendar year, which is another bearish sign. The only silver lining of the long-term NFT trend is…

Bitcoin Roars Back To $94K — Traders Rush In As FOMO Explodes: Data

Bitcoin Roars Back To $94K — Traders Rush In As FOMO Explodes: Data

Bitcoin climbed to a three-week high on Tuesday before slipping back, a move that has traders and analysts watching closely. Related Reading: NFT Slump Worsens With Monthly Sales Hitting Rock Bottom 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 was. A well-known long-term investor using the handle “NoLimit” told his 53,000 X followers that the $94,000 push looked engineered: big buys packed into a few minutes, thin order books, then little follow-through. 🤑 Bitcoin enjoyed a much needed rebound back to $94.6K today, reinvigorating traders, causing them to FOMO back in and expect higher prices. According to our social data scraping X, Reddit, Telegram, & other data, calls for “higher” & “above” exploded. 🟦 High bars indicate… pic.twitter.com/o3U3yWkwkk — Santiment (@santimentfeed) December 9, 2025 That pattern, he argued, is how larger traders can create short-term fear of missing out so they can sell into strength. Santiment also highlighted a behavioral twist: smaller traders appear to pile in after spikes, often leaving them on the wrong side of moves. Volatility followed the high, as prices pulled back by a couple thousand dollars within hours. Exchange order depth and timing of large blocks, analysts say, matter a lot when liquidity is shallow. Fed Decision Could Shift Momentum The US central bank meeting this week is a key wildcard. Market pricing on CME Group futures showed an 88% chance of a 0.25% rate cut, which many traders think helped fuel the rally. Yet some analysts warned that any sign of hesitation about future cuts could dampen risk appetite. Beyond US policy, next week’s potential Bank of Japan rate action is being watched because a tighter stance there could lift yields and pull capital back to Japan, tightening global liquidity. That kind of flow can pressure risky assets across markets. Liquidity, Institutions And The Bigger Picture Meanwhile, long-term holders pared back supply after a 36% correction from the all-time high, and some addresses now hold levels seen in March. Jessica Gonzales, an analyst cited in reports, said M2 money supply sits at about $22.3 trillion and stablecoin reserves remain elevated, suggesting there is capital around but not necessarily evenly distributed in markets. Institutional moves also feature: big firms such as BlackRock and Strategy have expanded crypto exposure, which could add a steadier buyer base — or simply shift where risk sits. Related Reading: Institutions Scoop Up 9,000 Ether, Fueling Bullish Signals What Traders Should Watch Short-term traders should track order-book depth, large trade clusters, and how price reacts to any Fed wording about future cuts. The next 25 days were flagged as especially important by several observers because liquidity swings and regulatory updates could flip the narrative fast. If a true broad-based bid forms, prices could move quickly. If the Fed signals caution, the opposite could happen. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
