• Pudgy Penguins  (PENGU) price fell to lows of $0.010 as altcoins crashed on Thursday.
• The token’s dip extends losses seen in the past months.
• Bitcoin’s slip amid the AI market downturn impacted PENGU’s price.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has taken a significant price hit in the past 24 hours, with the memecoin token plummeting more than 10% to lead the top 100 losers on the day.

At the time of writing, PENGU price hovered around $0.01085. The token broke from under $0.0100 to touch highs of $0.013 earlier in the week.

However, with cryptocurrencies showing weakness, the token has erased all these gains.

Pudgy Penguins tanks 10% as altcoins slip

The Pudgy Penguins ecosystem, which boasts an NFT collection and burgeoning token utility, has had it rough in the past few months.

Pudgy Penguins X Care Bears

We're excited to partner with one of the world's biggest IPs, @CareBears, for a limited-edition Pengu collectible dropping tomorrow, December 12th, at 12pm EST.

After surging to above $0.043 in July, a downward spiral saw PENGU slip to a low of $0.0097 on December 2, 2025.

While bulls masterminded a slight uptick to above $0.013, the PENGU token, which powers community initiatives like merchandise drops and digital collectibles, has once again shed gains.

By paring by more than 10% of its value within a single day, the token is now staring at 30% declines in the past month.

The token has one of the steepest declines among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization in the past year. On December 11, Pudgy Penguins’ trading volume dropped 12% to $243 million.

Analysts see this as a signal of reduced selling pressure after the latest declines were accompanied by huge surges in volume.

PENGU price outlook

The PENGU price decline is emblematic of a wider bearish assault across cryptocurrencies.

As Bitcoin sees bearish pressure, altcoins have dropped to key support levels. Memecoins, which have failed to rally amid declines for Dogecoin and others, lead some of the sectors with huge losses.

Global equity markets also faltered after the previous session’s gains.

In this case, a lack of momentum after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates has dampened broader risk appetite. PENGU’s correlation with top alts and memecoins amplifies the potential for further declines.

Overleveraged positions from recent gains could catalyse an unfolding scenario of downward action. A drop below $0.010 will be bad news for bulls.

Sellers could even target $0.004, an area near all-time lows seen in April 2025.

However, catalysts such as upcoming ETF decisions and broader adoption suggest bulls may not be done yet.

Investors will eye these and other reversal cues. A path forward remains treacherous as the bear run rolls in, but price reclaiming $0.013 is key. PENGU’s bullish levels are above $0.04.

• Hedera price fell to under $0.13 on Thursday as the cryptocurrency toiled.
• The HBAR token struggled amid losses for Bitcoin after the Fed rate cut.
• AI jitters that had Oracle stock down sharply did not help bulls.

The cryptocurrency market has shuddered as the Federal Reserve’s anticipated interest rate cut came laced with a notably hawkish undertone, sending ripples through risk assets.

Hedera’s native token, HBAR, mirrored broader losses for altcoins as indecisive bulls watched it plummet by more than 5%. The selling pressure showed in the spike in daily trading volume.

Hedera price dips under $0.13 amid downside pressure

Hedera’s price has sharply dipped in the past 24 hours, dropping to under $0.13 as top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum suffered sell-offs.

Losses for HBAR, alongside Bitcoin’s slip below $90,000, came despite the Fed’s  interest rate decision.

The US central bank lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on December 10, 2025. to a range of 3.5% to 3.75%.

Like many other cryptocurrencies, HBAR traders have found little solace in the Fed’s gesture.

With a hawkish central bank and jitters around the AI sector, Hedera price followed the outlook across risk assets.

The token, which had hovered around $0.14 earlier in the day, dropped to a low of $0.1293 in early US trading hours.

Can Hedera price bounce?

After an initial bump on the Fed news on Wednesday, the S&P 500 has shed gains as Oracle’s disappointing results drag down other AI stocks. Oracle shares fell 15% and Nvidia, CoreWeave and AMD all dropped.

But stocks remain near record highs and analysts’ view is that Bitcoin and crypto could still eye recent peaks.

If BTC plays catch-up successfully with a breakout above $100,000, bounces for altcoins could see HBAR reclaim key levels.

Year to date, the S&P 500 is up by more than 17%. In comparison, Bitcoin is down more than 3% and HBAR is down by over 50%.

Despite the downturn that has unfolded over the past year, Hedera touts multiple key milestones likely to keep bulls in play.

Potential catalysts

As well as expanded government adoption initiatives and industry partnerships, there’s a notable presence across decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset tokenization.

The launch of spot crypto ETFs is another major boost for HBAR.

HBAR’s trajectory may thus appear precarious. Indeed, the token could dump further and touch levels near $0.10 or lower in the short term.

The relative strength index (RSI) below 50 and a price breakdown to under the 50-day exponential moving average signal potential fresh pain for bulls.

Yet, with HBAR, one of the tokens seeing major enterprise integrations and a growing DeFi ecosystem, a bounce is likely.

How crypto navigates a hawkish environment will give an additional picture of what’s next for the token.

• Filecoin price fell 7% to under $1.40 on Thursday to put bulls under pressure.
• The dip comes amid an overall decline for AI tokens.
• Market outlook and technical chart suggest Filecoin could dip to $1.20 and $1.00.

Filecoin price has extended its recent losses, falling by more than 7% in the past 24 hours to hit lows of $1.37.

The decentralized storage network’s token risked further losses as sellers breached the key psychological support level at $1.40.

Broader market weakness, including across the stock market, meant bulls were facing potential downside continuation.

FIL declines as AI tokens see losses

The latest leg lower for Filecoin saw bulls touch levels last seen in October, with prices down across all timelines. However, the token boasts a 117% uptick since crashing to near $0.63 on October 10.

FIL price has declined by about 12% over the past seven days.

As highlighted, the downturn coincides with renewed weakness across the cryptocurrency market. Despite the US Federal Reserve’s December meeting and rate cut, cryptocurrencies failed to rally.

Bitcoin dipped below $90,000 before recovering, dragging the broader altcoin market lower. BTC remains precariously poised above the $90k mark.

Filecoin’s decline also mirrored sharp losses among leading artificial intelligence-focused tokens. Bittensor (TAO), NEAR Protocol and Render (RENDER) all shed gains and hovered red over the past 24 hours.

Notably, AI tokens were seeing a fresh sell-off amid a similar outlook in traditional markets.

In premarket trading, AI-related equities Oracle and Nvidia declined as the broader technology shares market came under pressure ahead of Thursday’s open.

What’s next for Filecoin price?

The $1.50-$1.45 zone served as a key support range for Filecoin price after bears took out the $1.60 level in November.

With price now decisively below $1.50 and the $1.40 buffer broken, bulls risk further downside movement.

In the near term, this bearish outlook will strengthen if the price breaks to $1.30.

Bearish momentum remains dominant on the daily chart.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to 36 and shows room for additional selling pressure.

Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator signals weakness since a bearish crossover in mid-November. Bears taking over will bring the $1.20 and $1.00 levels into play.

Despite the threat of a downward continuation, bulls still have a slight advantage. A decisive breakout from the $1.30 zone could open the door to a retest of higher levels.

In November, FIL pumped more than 100% in two days as prices rose from lows of $1.32 to highs of $3.92.

Bulls will have to contend with the 50-day exponential moving average near $1.73 if they are to strengthen a potential trend reversal.

• Bitcoin price showed fresh weakness as bulls revisited support below $90,000.
• The top coin dropped despite the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.
• Oracle stock was down 11% in premarket trading amid AI trade jitters.

Bitcoin price failed to rally on Wednesday as the US Federal Reserve cut its interest rate, and showed weakness on Thursday as it fell to under $90,000.

The dip in BTC price reflected across cryptocurrencies, with major coins also tumbling to key levels amid fresh sell-off jitters.

While the top digital asset remains near the critical level as of writing on December 11, 2025, risk assets are broadly weak on signs of turbulence in technology stocks.

Oracle’s shares tumbled after the company’s miss in its profit and revenue forecast.

Why did the Bitcoin price fall today?

Bitcoin hovered around $90,379 at the time of writing, down 2.4% in the past 24 hours.

The bellwether crypto asset nonetheless traded off its intraday lows of $89,458. Losses came amid a 9% uptick in daily volume to over $70 billion.

While stocks saw gains after the Fed’s rate cut, a premarket dump for Oracle pulled other AI stocks down and signalled fresh losses likely to encourage Wall Street bears.

In premarket trading, CNBC highlighted that Oracle shares plummeted by more than 11%.

This cascaded across AI-related peers, with Nvidia down nearly 2% and Micron 1.4% at the time. Microsoft, cloud company Coreweave and AMD also traded negatively.

This outlook, even tougher on crypto, pushed BTC lower.

Ethereum, XRP and Solana all shed gains as the market continued to reel from the crash and sentiment flip that followed the October 10, 2025 bloodbath.

CryptoQuant analysts say short-term holders dominate the count, still hovering in the “Pain Zone”.

“Structurally, these deep loss pockets usually show up closer to the late stages of a correction than the early ones,” an analyst at CryptoQuant noted.

Standard Chartered cuts BTC forecast for 2025

A lack of momentum since dipping below $100,000 has analysts recalibrating their end-of-year forecasts.

Standard Chartered,for instance, said earlier this week that it was cutting its 2025 BTC price prediction from $200k to $100k.

Geoff Kendrick, the global head of digital assets research at the banking giant, pointed to the slowdown in buying by Bitcoin treasury companies as a factor.

According to the analyst, bulls may now have only one key price driver- the spot exchange-traded funds space.

• SEI token, native to the high-performance layer-1 blockchain network Sei, climbed on December 10, 2025.
• This came amid news of a strategic partnership with Xiaomi Corporation.
• One of the world’s leading smartphone manufacturers will integrate the Sei crypto wallet.

The market reaction to the news could see the token jump to highs last seen in early November.

Sei announces partnership with Xiaomi

Sei Labs, the development team behind the Sei blockchain, officially announced its huge collaboration with Xiaomi on December 10, 2025.

Xiaomi is one of the world’s largest smartphone makers, and Sei’s deal looks to tap into this to bring crypto to users.

A new era of mobile finance is coming to Xiaomi's global user base.

A next-gen finance app powered by Sei and designed for stablecoin payments, will be integrated into the Xiaomi mobile ecosystem, coming pre-installed on new devices.

— Sei (@SeiNetwork) December 10, 2025

The two companies eye adoption via an everyday consumer device, specifically through a next-generation crypto wallet and discovery app.

Per details, the integration will feature a pre-installed crypto wallet on all new Xiaomi smartphones. The first target is for devices distributed outside mainland China and the United States.

As such, initial rollout targets Xiaomi’s formidable global footprint across Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

The regions boost notable crypto traction and Sei wants to build on this. Xiaomi’s presence accounts for over 36% of the smartphone market in Greece and over 24% in India.

The smartphone sold over 168 million devices in 2024, accounting for 13% of the global market share.

The integration via a pre-installed wallet will allow for effortless onboarding, with support available for Google or Xiaomi account credentials.

As well as decentralized applications (dApps), the partnership targets peer-to-peer transfers and consumer-to-business transactions.

Sei and Xiaomi plan to enable stablecoin transactions, leveraging assets like USDC natively on the Sei network.

Stablecoin payments will roll out starting in Hong Kong and the European Union by the second quarter of 2026.

“This collaboration with Xiaomi represents a watershed moment for blockchain adoption,” said Jeff Feng, co-founder of Sei Labs. “By embedding Sei’s high-performance infrastructure directly into one of the world’s most popular smartphone ecosystems, we’re not just solving the onboarding problem—we’re reimagining how billions of users will interact with digital assets in their daily lives.”

Why is this big for SEI?

To further catalyze innovation, Sei has committed $5 million to a Global Mobile Innovation Program.

This initiative will fund developers and startups building real-world blockchain applications tailored for consumer devices, fostering a broader ecosystem around mobile-centric web3 solutions.

But for Sei, the partnership with Xiaomi transcends mere distribution.

Xiaomi’s traction and the pre-installation of the Sei app could onboard tens of millions of new users annually.

Other than dramatically expanding Sei’s wallet base in emerging markets, it positions SEI at the forefront of real-world utility.

SEi’s price gains mirror this sentiment.

• Cardano price rose more than 11% as bulls touched the highest level in over three weeks.
• Gains came as Bitcoin rebounded to $92,000 and as Cardano cheered two key developments.
• The uptick to $0.47 could allow bulls to target the crucial $0.50 mark and higher in coming weeks.

Cardano topped the list of 24-hour gainers on Wednesday, with the token’s price jumping more than 11% as bulls looked to build on gains seen on December 9, 2025.

Those gains saw ADA touch its highest level since November 19 and came amid a broader crypto market rebound.

As Bitcoin flirted with resistance above $92,000, ADA price jumped to a high of $0.48.

Bulls are currently hovering at this level, with momentum helped by Cardano’s Midnight launch and ADA’s inclusion in the Bitwise crypto 10 ETF index.

These developments have fueled optimism among investors, positioning Cardano for a potential breakout as it seeks to reclaim critical price levels.

Cardano gains 11% as bulls touch $0.48

The Cardano token led op gainers across the top 100 coins by market cap.

ADA’s uptick in the previous session extended to early trading on December 10 as an 11% push over 24 hours helped prices climb to $0.48.

Bitcoin’s resilience has helped bulls. However, pivotal drivers of this upward momentum included the recent launch of Midnight.

The privacy-focused sidechain integrated with Cardano has its token trading on multiple exchanges as privacy coins show upward potential.

Midnight, which debuted on December 8, 2025, leverages zero-knowledge proofs and the Hydra scaling solution.

Its launch has sparked enthusiasm, including from Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano.

Hoskinson celebrated the milestone on X, stating, “Congratulations Midnight.”

Congratulations Midnight https://t.co/MsdgiQyCoW

— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) December 9, 2025

The positive sentiment surrounding Midnight, combined with the market’s bullish turn, provided tailwinds for ADA.

Further boosting the price surge earlier in the week is Cardano’s inclusion in the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (BITW), launched on December 9, 2025.

BITW trades on the New York Stock Exchange and saw its assets under management (AUM) hit $1.25 billion on December 9, and allocates 0.65% of its holdings to ADA.

Cardano price outlook: breakout above $0.50 next?

ADA’s recent gains mean bulls could target the $0.50 mark, a level below which bears accelerated the downward pressure in mid-November.

The breach saw prices hit lows of $0.37 before staging a robust recovery that initially faded to around $0.45.

Amid the broader crypto market’s upward trajectory, buyers have pierced the supply wall, and technical indicators suggest a potential pump to the $0.50 threshold.

Technical analysis highlights a positive Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator.

MACD on the daily chart shows a bullish crossover, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed above the critical 50 level.

In the event of a breakout, the key level to watch might be the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) currently at $0.83.

As Cardano capitalizes on its technological advancements and institutional backing, the next target in a rallying market will be $1.00.

The cryptocurrency last reached this level in March 2025, when ADA exploded over 70% in a day to jump from around $0.65 to near $1.20.

• Dogecoin price was down 1.5% and changed hands near $0.14.
• The top memecoin token risks bearish momentum as the broader market shows weakness.
• DOGE below $0.10 could risk a revisit of $0.05.

Dogecoin (DOGE) tested support at the $0.14 level on Tuesday as the memecoin pared some of its recent gains. While losses on the day are limited, the dip over the past month sees DOGE flirt with the risk of bearish continuation.

Bullish investors may see further downside risks as an opportunity to buy, though, with the meme-inspired token likely to ride broader market tailwinds for an uptick.

Dogecoin price today

The price of Dogecoin as of writing on December 9, 2025, hovered near $0.14. Bulls are down about 1.5% over the past 24 hours.

Although DOGE has bounced off lows of $0.138 on the day, it still prints a sharp 19% drop in the past month. Declines have left its market capitalization standing at around $22.8 billion.

Meanwhile, the token, ranked ninth among the largest cryptocurrencies, has seen a 17% dip in  daily trading volume to about $1.08 billion.

Dogecoin’s volume signals decreased investor activity, though, with price capped on the upside amid the turmoil that also sees top coins toil under pressure.

For instance, Bitcoin touched $92k but has quickly retreated to the $90k mark.

Analysts expect BTC to bounce amid key macroeconomic tailwinds and DOGE could follow.

Despite a fragile sentiment, the memecoin has seen key developments in recent weeks to suggest a spark could ignite a major rally.

The launch of DOGE perpetual futures pairs opens up the market for traders. Meanwhile, the buzz around Dogecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues.

Even without outflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum, the hype remains as multiple spot crypto ETFs launch in the US.

Dogecoin price forecast

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index hovers at 25, signalling extreme fear. Most altcoins trade in this territory due to investor caution.

However, amid an anticipated US Federal Reserve rate cut decision this week, sentiment is not overly negative.

Dogecoin’s trajectory will thus take on an ominous outlook if bulls fail to keep bears off at the current price level of $0.14.

If sellers knock buyers off this perch, a move in the negative direction will strengthen.

Technical indicators paint this gloom. As can be seen on the chart below, the token has recently shattered the pivotal support zone established in March and June 2025.

This has come as DOGE accelerated losses following the breach of the 50-week exponential moving average.

A downward channel is in place, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic RSI both flashing signals of increased bullish exhaustion.

Should DOGE fracture the $0.10 mark, the loss of this historical inflection point will add to bearish pressure. Dogecoin’s next major support levels are in the $0.05 zone.

• Coinbase has listed Plume, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain for tokenizing real-world assets.
• PLUME rose 8% as Bitcoin (BTC) oscillated between $90,000 and $92,000 amid lack of significant momentum. 
• Other altcoins, including Hype (HYPE) and Cronos (CRO), are trading higher despite overall caution.

The cryptocurrency market remains cautious despite notable gains for tokens such as Plume (PLUME), which has climbed 8% following Coinbase’s listing.

As Plume’s upward trajectory stands out amid a generally cautious market landscape, investors have also noted price movements for Zcash, Ondo, and Cronos, among others.

Meanwhile, major cryptocurrencies are showing mixed performances, with Bitcoin poised near $90,000.

Coinbase lists Plume (PLUME)

Coinbase, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the launch of spot trading for Plume (PLUME) and Jupiter (JUPITER).

The listings go live on December 9, 2025.

Spot trading for Plume (PLUME) and Jupiter (JUPITER) will go live on 9 December 2025. The opening of our PLUME-USD and JUPITER-USD trading pairs will begin on or after 9AM PT, if liquidity conditions are met, in regions where trading is supported. pic.twitter.com/AmnIRbZcze

— Coinbase Markets 🛡️ (@CoinbaseMarkets) December 8, 2025

Per the exchange, the opening of the PLUME-USD and JUPITER-USD trading pairs is scheduled for 9 AM PT or later.

This will be contingent on the pairs meeting liquidity conditions and availability in supported regions.

Coinbase’s listing has bolstered Plume and highlights the US crypto exchange behemoth’s commitment to expanding its offerings to include innovative blockchain projects.

Plume’s focus is on RWA tokenization, while Jupiter is a leading Solana-based DEX aggregator.

Availability via Coinbase could help attract significant trading interest for PLUME and JUP.

Notably, it’s likely to enhance the tokens’ liquidity and accessibility for institutional and retail investors alike.

PLUME price jumps 8% on listing news; Can bulls go higher?

As noted, the news of Coinbase’s support propelled PLUME’s price by 8% to above $0.022.

Gains for the token came as the broader crypto market held its breath amid Bitcoin’s flirting with the $90,000 mark.

BTC has swung around $90k and $92k on low-volume moves, while altcoins have remained largely subdued.

As the Fear & Greed Index hangs at 22 and indicates extreme Fear, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, and Solana have also touched key support areas.

Despite this slight bearish sentiment, PLUME’s rally aligns with other top movers.

This includes ONDO’s rise as news of the SEC ending its probe filtered through.

Bittensor (TAO) is also eyeing gains ahead of its halving while privacy coins Zcash and Dash continue to record winnings.

For PLUME, the critical question is whether bulls can sustain this momentum.

The immediate outlook requires that the token maintains support above $0.020 to pave the way for further gains.

However, a drop below this mark might signal a shift to bearish trading.

PLUME hit its all-time low of $0.018 on October 11, 2025.

• Crypto.com and 21Shares have partnered to support Cronos.
• This partnership introduces regulated investment vehicles that could propel Cronos (CRO) higher.
• CRO price hovered near $0.10 on December 9, 2025.

The Cronos (CRO) token is poised for further traction, thanks to a strategic alliance between Crypto.com and 21Shares.

CRO price hovered above $0.10 on Tuesday as the market braced for the Fed’s rate decision.

And with the partnership set to democratize access to the Cronos blockchain, CRO’s outlook could be looking at a new bullish catalyst.

Crypto.com partners with 21Shares for CRO

According to details, the collaboration between Crypto.com and 21Shares marks a significant step in bridging traditional finance with blockchain innovation.

In their announcement, the two firms said the focus is on new investment products designed to provide institutional-grade exposure to CRO.

These include a dedicated CRO private trust and an exchange-traded fund (ETF), which aim to offer transparent, regulated avenues for investors to participate in the Cronos network.

By mainstreaming access to these assets, the initiative seeks to attract a broader spectrum of institutional and retail participants, fostering greater liquidity and adoption within the ecosystem.

“We are proud to partner with Crypto.com to help expand investor access to the Cronos ecosystem through innovative and transparent investment products,” said Federico Brokate, global head of business development. “Crypto.com and Cronos are both paving the way for scalable and interoperable blockchain solutions, and this collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering institutional-grade regulated exposure to the most relevant crypto assets.”

Echoing this sentiment, Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com, highlighted the alignment with broader industry goals:

“Providing more ways for traders to engage with cryptocurrencies is central to our vision of further mainstreaming crypto. Crypto.com is a long-time supporter of and contributor to the Cronos blockchain, and we are excited to partner with 21Shares to enable more investors to participate in the CRO journey ahead.”

What does this mean for Cronos price?

Crypto.com has hit some notable milestones in the past few months, including the mega $6.4 billion Cronos Treasury deal with Trump Media Group.

As well as other initiatives to support the Cronos chain, this latest alliance brings more than further visibility for the token.

It positions CRO as a top asset for cross-chain activities, including DeFi lending and staking.

With Crypto.com’s vast user base and 21Shares’ footprint in the market, Cronos could see accelerated on-chain activity. This, in turn, could drive significant value accrual to the token.

Despite the latest market weakness, the Cronos token is exhibiting resilient price action.

In recent sessions, CRO traded to above $0.11. As Bitcoin and top coins dipped on Monday, the altcoin found notable support at the $0.10 level.

Possible drivers of bullish resilience for the token include broader market tailwinds.

There’s also the launch of the private trust and ETF products, stablecoin adoption, lending, and collaborations across real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

From a technical standpoint, CRO needs a decisive close above the $0.12 level.

If this happens, bulls will target the $0.20 mark. On the flipside, a breakdown to $0.09 could open up a fresh onslaught by bears.

• Aave price jumped to highs of $200 as cryptocurrencies recorded an uptick on December 8, 2025.
• While market sentiment is weak, bulls could dominate price action toward $300.
• Decentralized finance and overall bullish conditions will be key to the AAVE price.

Aave is in the green on the day as the decentralized finance heavyweight’s token captures renewed investor attention.

On Monday, AAVE traded at $193 at the time of writing, having touched highs of $200 and reflecting a robust recovery from recent dips.

With bullish forecasts for Bitcoin and the broader market, it appears gains position AAVE for a potential explosive growth.

AAVE price gains amid altcoin surge

AAVE has been in a downtrend for over three months and remains constrained.

However, the DeFi token has posted a slight uptick over the past week, and current prices are well above the lows of $147 reached on November 21, 2025.

On Monday, the token climbed to highs of $200 before paring gains to around $193.

The Aave token’s uptick coincides with a broader altcoin bounce on Dec. 8.

As Bitcoin showed resilience above $90k, Ethereum broke above $3,100, Solana touched $136, and Chainlink advanced above $13.

For Aave, gains over the week stood at 17%, coming amid major stablecoin transfers and increased buzz around DeFi growth.

Aave is proving what stablecoin adoption at scale looks like.

— Circle (@circle) December 5, 2025

On Dec. 5, the Aave lending pools witnessed huge USDT transactions, moves that highlight increased borrowing demand and liquidity.

Analysts see this and whale activity as potential catalysts for further gains.

AAVE price forecast

The current market outlook for cryptocurrencies aligns with broader risk asset and seasonal trends.

December has historically delivered notable gains for investors amid “Santa rallies”.

Aave’s 17% surge in the past week mirrors this outlook, even if it’s still early days.

Investors are also eyeing the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cut this week.

Bulls could sparkle above the $200 mark. However, volatility remains a concern, and support levels could be much lower.

From a technical point of view, key indicators point to short-term advantage for Aave bulls.

Price is above the critical resistance and support level at $178.

As can be seen on the chart below, buyers breached this level as the AAVE price pumped to highs of $385 between May and August 2025.

However, declines from the year-to-date peak also saw bears plunge the token’s value past $178 to lows of $147 in November. Prior to this, AAVE had crashed to $128 on October 10, 2025.

This means the token is in a descending channel.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading currently hovers at 52. It’s upsloping and indicative of likely further room for upside movement. Bulls can do this without immediately entering the overbought territory.

Notably, the token recently broke above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as bulls rallied.

This happened as part of a classic bullish confirmation move that has historically preceded significant upside action.

Aave’s daily chart shows the 50EMA is at $201.

Bearish risks, such as a Bitcoin correcting below $90,000, could cap gains at this mark.

However, bulls riding an upward wave could break higher, with $227 and $320 key levels.

• Injective price is up by over 5% in the past 24 hours, trading to an intraday high of $5.85.
• Bulls could gain towards $10 but that is contingent on breaching $6 resistance.
• INJ will ride broader market conditions and key network developments.

Injective’s native token is among the altcoins to post gains on December 8, 2025, rising more than 5% to highs of $5.85 as investor attention shifts ahead of a big week for risk asset markets.

INJ price looked to rise in a sharp rebound to $6, a level that provided the latest downward pressure on Dec. 4.

Notably, Injective’s surge arrives amid heightened trading activity.

Injective price rises to near $6 amid volume spike

Injective’s price trajectory has been in a downtrend since its all-time high of $52.75 in March 2024. As such, the token is $89% since that peak and 25% down in the past month.

However, the latest gains across the market have helped bulls, and INJ has rebounded from support around $5.

INJ traded at $5.71 at the time of writing, up more than 5% in the past 24 hours.

Bulls reached highs of $5.85 as they came close to the $6 psychological barrier. Trading volume also surged to $67 million, increasing by over 52% in the last 24 hours.

Why is Injective price up?

The token’s price gained alongside Bitcoin’s push to above $92,000, and Ethereum’s rebound above $3,100.

A similar uptick for the broader crypto market seems to have bolstered Injective.

Analysts have also attributed the spike to Injective’s recent integration with DexTools, exposing the chain to 15 million users for real-time asset monitoring.

Key appears to be momentum from Helix, a major decentralized spot and derivatives exchange for the INJ ecosystem.

The DeFi app’s upgrade that enabled gas-free, 24/7 trading of stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies recently went live.

Meanwhile, the community has responded positively to a governance proposal and approval of a mechanism for on-chain equity pricing.

Moreover, traction across stablecoin deployments and real-world asset (RWA) initiatives has played a huge role.

INJ price forecast

Although the 24-hour high of $5.85 saw bulls flirt with $6, the technical picture is currently mixed. The broader price trajectory remains in a downtrend. An extension of this could spell doom for buyers.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 44 and below the neutral level.

However, the indicator is upsloping and signaling a potential breakout. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows weak bullish momentum. The indicator flashed a bullish crossover recently.

Looking ahead, INJ’s path bifurcates between bullish breakouts and cautious consolidation.

In the short term, a breakout above $6 will allow bulls to target $8.22 and then $10. Conversely, a dip below $5.05 could spell danger for buyers.

• Zcash (ZEC) has surged into positive territory with double-digit advances over the past 24 hours.
• As ZEC hovers above $380, the privacy coin Monero (XMR) is down 2% at $372.
• XMR price earlier dropped to lows of $360.

Zcash and Monero, two top privacy coins, have witnessed differing price movements on Monday as the overall cryptocurrency market remained largely subdued.

Bitcoin hovered just above $92,000 ahead of the highly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting, while BNB, Solana, and XRP all looked to mirror Ethereum’s slight gains.

Nonetheless, bulls’ failure to ignite a widespread rally sees many altcoins hover well off recent peaks, including Zcash and Monero.

Zcash price sees double-digit gains

Zcash posted gains of over 12% as the token’s value jumped from around $334 to near $400.

Per data from CoinMarketCap, the privacy coin reached highs of $398 across major crypto exchanges, extending gains above $380.

While current prices of $383 are well off the recent peaks above $700, buyers may fancy new momentum as ZEC benefits from the sentiment that saw it switch from a laggard into a top-20 cryptocurrency by market cap.

A surge in shielded transactions, with Zcash positioned as a private alternative to Bitcoin, highlights the confidence. Open interest in Zcash futures sits at over $783 million, down from $1.3 billion in November.

However, robust speculative engagement is intact as seen in the past 24 hours, with liquidations hitting over $10 million.

Coinglass data shows 80% of 24-hour liquidations for ZEC are shorts, likely caught off guard amid the sudden price jump.

Should Zcash breach the $400 resistance, bulls may push toward $500 and target the year-to-date peaks. On the flipside, a breakdown below $370 could give sellers an upper hand.

Monero price risks fresh losses

In contrast to Zcash Monero has dipped in the past 24 hours.

The privacy coin fell to lows of $360 earlier in the day, and now faces an uphill battle after fresh rejections around the $380 mark.

XMR price is currently around $372 and shows a decline of nearly 2% in the past 24 hours and 10% in the past week.

Comparatively, the ZEC price is up more than 11% in the same seven-day period.

Losses for Monero extended to four consecutive bearish daily candles on December 7, 2025. Bulls are therefore looking to prevent a fifth red candle.

Yet, as bears have recently erased most of November’s gains to highs of $470.

The dip to $360 thus leaves Monero vulnerable to further erosion if support falters. As with other altcoins, the primary drivers of Monero’s malaise revolve around macroeconomic pressures.

XMR also trades in a broadening wedge pattern, and the area around $400 has proved key to bears.

Elsewhere, futures open interest has contracted to $54 million, down from $67 million on December 1, 2025, and from a recent peak of $98 million on November 10,2025.

The token has also dropped amid a double-top formation at $435, which means a short term dip to support in the $335 region looms.

• The Bitcoin price is at $92,200 in intraday trading on December 8, 2025.
• The benchmark digital asset is slightly bullish after bulls suffered a negative tilt in November.
• While weakness continues to linger as price hovers near the $90,000 mark, eyes are on the US Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin is showing signs of bullish reversal, with the latest upside momentum pushing the BTC price above $92,000 as risk assets gain ahead of a key Federal Reserve meeting.

As stock futures rose ahead of Wall Street’s open on Monday, Bitcoin mirrored the move with a 3% rise to $92,220.

The technical picture shows a classic ascending triangle formation on the daily chart, suggesting a possible sharp upside move toward $95,000 and $100,000 in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Ethereum is currently above $3,100 and could eye $3,500-$4,000 area.

Across altcoins, the BNB price could jump above $1,000 after Binance’s major regulatory milestone.

Bitcoin gains amid Fed rate cut anticipation

On Monday, US stock futures recorded gains as investors weighed the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.

While modest, the uptick aligns with major gauges’ consecutive weekly gains.

BTC has also tapped green in the past week after falling to lows of $80,000 amid a tough November.

Investors expect the Fed to cut interest rates, and markets are upbeat. 

The tame personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index helped this outlook.

PCE is a key US inflation reading, and its print adds to the confidence that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will announce a rate cut this week.

Could Bitcoin bulls push for $100k?

Bitcoin experienced notable price swings over the weekend as the price plunged below the $90,000 mark before recovering swiftly. 

The initial dip saw a cascade of long-position liquidations that exceeded $170 million, but as shorts piled in, BTC flipped higher and caught over-leveraged bears off guard.

QCP Group analysts shared this price movement detail via X on Monday.

Asia Colour – 8 Dec 25

1/ $BTC swung between 88k–92k over the weekend while $ETH saw sharp two-way moves, reflecting how thin year-end liquidity has become. Liquidations were modest, highlighting how positioning has continued to unwind.

— QCP (@QCPgroup) December 8, 2025

As of writing, BTC is showing signs of steady accumulation above $92k. 

“Focus shifts to Wednesday’s FOMC,” QCP analysts noted. “A 25bp cut is priced, but balance-sheet guidance will guide risk. With $BTC still stuck between 84k and 100k, a break on either side could define the next major trend,” they added.

Support is from both institutional dip-buyers and retail accumulation, and a break in the $95,000-$105,000 region is likely.

Part of this is down to an ascending triangle pattern that has been developing on Bitcoin’s daily chart since mid-November. 

The pattern, accompanied by contracting volatility and rising spot demand, offers a bullish outlook.

In Bitcoin’s case, a decisive close above the $92k level will bring $95k into play and the $100,000–$101,500 resistance zone. 

Renewed macro liquidity signals, buoyed by a positive Federal Reserve policy, will aid further technical breakout.

• The BNB token traded to highs of $910 with a slight bounce.
• Binance has secured full licensing as a digital assets platform in Abu Dhabi.
• Momentum could help bulls push the BNB price to above $1,000.

BNB price saw a slight uptick early Monday, retesting highs of $910.

This came as Binance, the world’s leading digital asset exchange, revealed it had achieved a landmark regulatory approval.

The token’s price increased by about 2% to $912 and looked poised for further gains as the broader market targeted fresh momentum.

As Binance celebrates its milestone, could the native token reclaim the coveted $1,000 mark?

Binance secures full license status in the UAE

One of the top crypto news stories today is from Binance, the leading crypto exchange by volume.

The exchange announced it had become the first global digital asset trading platform to secure full license status in Abu Dhabi.

Specifically, Binance has secured a comprehensive suite of licenses from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).

The licenses are issued under the regulatory purview of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

The milestone encompasses approvals for spot trading, derivatives, clearing, custody, and broker-dealer services, Binance said in a blog post. According to details, the licenses take effect on January 5, 2026.

“Achieving regulatory status through ADGM’s respected framework reflects our deep commitment to compliance, transparency, and user protection,” said Binance co-chief executive officer Richard Teng.

He added:

“ADGM is one of the most respected financial regulators globally, and holding an FSRA license under their gold standard framework shows that Binance meets the highest international standards for compliance, governance, risk management, and consumer protection.”

This regulatory milestone positions the UAE as a burgeoning hub for compliant cryptocurrency activities, enhancing Binance’s credibility amid growing institutional interest.

BNB price gains amid volume surge

As noted, the positive regulatory news has catalyzed a slight uptick in BNB’s price.

On December 8, 2025, BNB traded to highs of $910, up nearly 2% as bulls pushed from lows of $872.

The 24-hour gains in the token’s price came amid a substantial trading volume of $1.93 billion, up more than 38% in the time frame.

BNB price recently rose above $926 as Bitcoin and top altcoins retested key resistance levels.

Gains came after the altcoin tested support near $800 on Dec. 1.

However, a strong bounce over the next two days allowed buyers to break above $900.

The token is eyeing a third straight green candle on the daily chart, and the next target will be $1,000.

Analysts say BNB could see fresh momentum, with the anticipated boost in institutional trust following the ADGM license approval key to this.

The token plays a major role as a foundational asset within the BNB Chain ecosystem, including for transactions and governance.

Overall traction amid regulatory clarity adds to its potential for growth.

• Internet Computer (ICP) price has dropped 6% in the past 24 hours to under $3.50.
• Recently, the altcoin pumped from lows of $2.80 to above $9.62.
• Overall market weakness could see ICP price tank further, although an uptick for Bitcoin will boost altcoins.

Losses for Internet Computer come amid a 29% decrease in trading volume, suggesting bulls could benefit from reduced selling pressure.

However, with ICP briefly rallying on hype around AI integrations like the Caffeine platform, only to reverse course, it may yet allow bears to strengthen the upper hand.

Internet Computer price slips to $3.50

The ICP project, launched by the DFINITY Foundation, is one of the top artificial intelligence-related coins.

DFINITY aims to revolutionize the internet by enabling fully on-chain applications, from decentralized finance to AI-driven services, without reliance on traditional cloud providers.

In early November, the DFINITY Foundation unveiled an update for its AI platform Caffeine DeAI.

The news saw the price of ICP surge sharply, with bulls eventually hitting highs of $9.62 on Nov. 8, 2025.

The uptick aligned with market cheer for an update that pushed the narrative of the Internet Computer as a key AI cloud engine.

As well as allowing users to create and deploy apps easily, Caffeine features an App Market and supports monetization.

DFINITY said Caffeine will help drive network usage and transition ICP to a deflationary asset, among other features.

However, the token’s price has tumbled since that November peak and hit $3.50 on December 5, 2025. That’s a 64% dump in the past month and reflects broader market pressure.

What could catalyze short-term losses for ICP?

Market analysts have attributed the sell-off pressure across crypto to a confluence of factors.

As well as macroeconomic headwinds, FUD around Tether and Strategy (MSTR) has dampened risk appetite for Bitcoin (BTC) and the speculative assets across altcoins.

These same aspects apply to ICP and the dip to $3.50, with intraday revisits of lower levels, strengthening the fragile outlook.

Adding to this is the overall sentiment around token dumps if BTC price tanks.

Recently, when Bitcoin dipped to near $80,000, the Internet Computer token plummeted from above $5 to below $4.2.

Price currently hovers around $3.51 as Bitcoin flirts with support near $90,500. If momentum escapes bulls further, sellers could eye the all-time lows of $1.98 reached in October 2025.

On the flipside, the altcoin could benefit from network upgrades and adoption trends.

This, amid a resurgence in AI tokens and tokenized Bitcoin demand, may help buyers. A shift in sentiment as the macro environment improves will be crucial to bulls.

• Chainlink price hovered near $14, down 2% in the past 24 hours.
• LINK remained under pressure despite two key integrations on Solana.
• Coinbase and Chainlink have launched a Base-Solana bridge.

Chainlink continues to play a key role in the blockchain interoperability and asset tokenisation space, and that shows in the two latest integrations.

As a pivotal oracle network bridging decentralised finance (DeFi) with traditional systems, Chainlink’s traction is forecast to be a major factor for the native token LINK.

On December 5, 2025, LINK traded around $14.

Bulls were under pressure but remained upbeat amid recent advancements. Among these is the collaboration with Coinbase on the Base-Solana bridge and the integration into a Solana-based RWA consortium.

Chainlink and Coinbase to power Base-Solana bridge

Three major industry players here: Coinbase, Chainlink and Solana. Industry reaction to their latest collaboration highlights the potential impact.

Simply, the launch of the Base-Solana bridge marks a significant milestone in multi-chain connectivity. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) serves as the security backbone alongside Coinbase’s node operators.

As announced, this mainnet deployment enables seamless asset transfers between Base and Solana.

CCIP will help verify all messages, ensuring tamper-proof and reliable token movements on Solana. In this case, users can now deposit SOL into Base applications, import any Solana Program Library (SPL) token, and export Base assets back to Solana.

“The bridge is now live on mainnet and rolling out for anyone to use in apps including Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay,’ Base said in a blog post. “Users will be able to trade SOL, CHILLHOUSE, TRENCHER, and many more Solana assets on Base.”

The Base-Solana bridge is live

Secured by @Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase, the bridge unlocks new cross-chain experiences:

• Support Solana assets natively in Base apps
• Enable users to trade & use assets across chains
• Bridge assets and tap into both ecosystems

Chainlink joins RWA initiative on Solana

Another major development is news that Chainlink has joined the newly formed RWA Consortium on Solana. The initiative, led by Figure Technology Solutions in partnership with Kamino Finance, CASH, Raydium, Privy, and Gauntlet, was announced on December 4, 2025.

Experts say real-world assets onchain value will grow exponentially in the next five years.

Early adoption has virtually every RWA now onchain and Solana plays a key role in this space. Chainlink too.

The new alliance aims to democratize access to over $1 billion in monthly onchain loan originations. First to deploy is PRIME,  a liquid staking token on the Hastra liquidity protocol.

“We’re democratizing access to institutional lending markets,” said Mike Cagney, founder and executive chairman of Figure. “For the first time, a DeFi user with $100 can participate in the same loan pools as major financial institutions, earning yields from real lending activity with full transparency and instant liquidity.”

LINK price forecast

Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure is central to this goal. Its technology will connect Solana’s developer-friendly environment with Figure’s $19 billion in tokenized loan originations.

These initiatives could further catalyse price appreciation for both LINK and SOL.

At the time of writing, LINK changed hands at $14 while Solana price hovered at $136. If prices rise further, the main short-term target will be highs above $26, last seen in August. SOL bulls will eye $200.

Other bullish catalysts will include crypto ETFs, regulatory clarity and a flip in global macroeconomic outlook.

• Aster price could rally above $1 as the team unveils its 2026 roadmap.
• The token hit highs of $2.42 as the decentralized exchange platform outpaced its peers.
• Aster eyes a testnet, real-world asset upgrade, and native token staking.

Decentralized exchange platform Aster sees its price change hands at $1.04, having bounced off lows of $0.88.

While the DEX token is down 2% in the past 24 hours, buyers might target fresh upside action after the Aster team unveiled its highly anticipated roadmap for the first half of 2026.

The roadmap’s ambitious plans, with a focus on infrastructure, token utility, and community engagement, have the market excited about the token’s price potential.

Significantly, these new network goals come after a year of notable achievements for Aster.

Aster releases outline for 2026 roadmap

Aster has a robust ecosystem and community, despite being a relatively new project across the market.

Partnerships and key buyback initiatives have helped ASTER price, and on December 4, the team announced its upcoming roadmap.

The perpetuals and spot trading platform’s plan highlights a series of milestones starting in late 2025.

It includes the introduction of Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading and TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) strategy orders in early December.

Mid-December will see an upgrade to real-world asset (RWA) trading with deeper stock perpetual markets, followed by the launch of the Aster Chain testnet by the end of the month.

In 2026, the Aster Chain Layer 1 (L1) mainnet rolls out. This Q1 launch will be accompanied by fiat on/off-ramp capabilities and the Aster Code platform for developers.

According to the project, Q2 will introduce ASTER staking, on-chain governance, and smart-money tools to replicate top traders’ strategies.

“2025 was about proving Aster can ship: we merged Astherus & ApolloX, launched multi-asset margin, released our mobile app, completed TGE, listed on major CEXs, and introduced features like Hedge Mode, Trade & Earn, and our buyback program, and more,” the team wrote. “Now we’re doubling down on three foundational engines—Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community—each reinforcing the others in a continuous cycle.”

Aster sees this multifaceted approach as part of the commitment to build a scalable network that evolves with its users.

What’s the potential impact on Aster price?

Notably, the unveiling of Aster’s 2026 roadmap for Q1 and Q2 has ignited speculation about the potential impact on the token’s price.

From a technical analysis point of view, the DEX token looks to be poised for an upward move.

The daily chart shows a breakout from a key downtrend line.

Both RSI and MACD indicators on the daily chart indicate a bearish outlook.

However, with the price above the downtrend line, fresh momentum could allow bulls to target $1.38. A potential surge toward $1.50 and $2.06 will open up a run to a new all-time high.

Should bullish momentum dissipate, flipped sentiment could allow for a revisit of the lows of $0.81.

• Bittensor price jumped to above $300 as bulls showed signs of recovery.
• TAO was bullish ahead of the AI token’s first network halving.
• Gains for Bittensor come as Wall Street also flips bullish on the AI narrative.

Bittensor (TAO) traded green on the day on December 4, 2025, with sentiment bullish as the altcoin breached the $300 threshold.

This surge, occurring just days before the network’s historic halving event, could allow bulls to target recent highs.

Growing confidence in Bittensor’s role as a pioneering platform in decentralized AI and in machine learning incentives has TAO as one of the altcoins traders are watching.

Bittensor price jumps above $300

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a notable uptick in the past 24 hours.

While bears continue to maraud amid potential profit-taking spikes, bulls are showing strength.

A flurry of activity surrounding Bittensor, a blockchain protocol that decentralizes AI model training and inference through a competitive subnet ecosystem, points to TAO price’s likely short term rally.

In this case, TAO’s surge above $300 represents a pivotal moment. The altcoin surged to above $314 on Dec. 4 before paring some of the gains.

Significantly, Bittensor price dramatically jumped from around $300 on October 11, 2025, to hit $500 on November 2.

The rally in a little over three weeks nonetheless fizzled, and the TAO price is down about 28% in the past month.

The token’s correction came amid broader market jitters.

Bittensor and AI sector forecasts

Bittensor is a top AI-related coin by market cap, ahead of NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and RENDER.

Growth has included the project’s positioning as the marketplace for machine intelligence.

It’s where validators and miners earn TAO rewards for contributing computational resources and novel AI models. Prices have often spiked amid key AI developments, and that reflects amid latest outlook.

Wall Street giants point out that the AI boom that catapulted Nvidia and other stocks higher is not a bubble.

Noting that the sector could yet explode, BlackRock and Bank of America analysts have forecast a fresh supercycle. Key drivers of this include real corporate investments, major earnings, and productivity gains.

AI is not driven by the irrational exuberance that underpinned the dot-com bubble in the 2000s, the analysts noted.

The TAO price could rally amid the anticipated AI narrative resurgence.

What’s Bittensor’s upcoming halvening?

Bittensor’s inaugural halving, which is about 10 days away as of writing, is about network tokenomics. It mirrors Bitcoin’s supply-reduction strategy, but tailored to AI incentives.

Currently, the network emits approximately 7,200 TAO tokens daily to reward participants in its proof-of-intelligence consensus.

However, the halving will cut the emissions to 3,600 TAO. Bittensor has a total supply of 21 million TAO, and the halving, like in BTC’s case, ensures long-term scarcity as adoption grows.

The halving could thus catalyze price discovery. BTC jumped following its 2024 halving, and TAO bulls are likely to eye a return to $500.

Notably, the coin’s all-time high of $795.6 was reached in April 2024.

• Avalanche price jumped back above $14 as cryptocurrencies rose on Thursday.
• Institutions accelerating onchain adoption and network momentum from November is key for bulls.
• AVAX token’s value could surge to $35, but could also slip to $9 in the short term.

Avalanche (AVAX) price has rebounded to above $14, with the altcoin seeing gains amid robust on-chain metrics.

The latest report recounting key Avalanche milestones in November 2025 shows growing ecosystem adoption. Visible metrics include the number of transactions and the value of real-world assets onchain.

Gains for AVAX mirror broader altcoin market optimism that could gain momentum amid Ethereum’s breakout to above $3,200.

Investors and traders are also showing conviction despite overall market jitters.

Avalanche price gains

On December 4, 2025, the price of AVAX traded to a high of $14.95.

This 6% uptick sees AVAX up from a monthly low near $12.50, with 30-day losses currently down to 12%. Bulls have cut declines to just 1.5% in the past week.

November had seen Avalanche fall alongside top coins, driven by profit-taking after earlier highs.

Over the past week, the token has advanced to near the $15 mark, and intraday movements on December 4 highlight this momentum.

Meanwhile, trading volume has exceeded 554 million AVAX, suggesting improved liquidity and trader interest.

Technical upgrades and institutional inflows are two of AVAX’s top price catalysts.

Sustained network activity

Despite price declines over the past months, Avalanche’s network has demonstrated remarkable endurance. Details indicate that November marked a pinnacle of user engagement for the project.

AVAX treasury strategy moves also shone.

The C-Chain recorded 10.1 million monthly active addresses, which is its strongest performance of 2025. MAUs for the month surpassed October’s 9.2 million, and fueled a 22% year-over-year growth.

November was @avax C-Chain best month of the year for monthly active addresses with 10.1M pic.twitter.com/bKAly2pJl0

— Token Relations 📊 (@TokenRelations) December 1, 2025

Key November achievements include Dexalot’s 400 million transactions on its Avalanche L1, MapleStory Universe’s 100 million transactions, and Kite AI’s 436 million transactions alongside 715 million agent calls.

Real-world assets (RWAs) tokenized on Avalanche ballooned to $1.2 billion, a 66% monthly jump. Meanwhile, Pharaoh Exchange generated $283,000 in fees from $200 million in daily volume.

Recent data shows daily transactions hitting a cycle high of 2.57 million on November 30, supported by 470,000 active addresses.

Institutional moves, like FIS Global’s $9 trillion loan platform launch, further cement this activity.

“As regulatory clarity improves and institutions accelerate onchain, Avalanche’s architecture, scalability, and ecosystem position it where innovation meets utility. The momentum from November sets the stage for continued growth. The infrastructure is ready, institutions are coming, and Avalanche is powering what’s next,” the Avalanche Team noted in the blog post.

Avalanche price outlook

Overall, AVAX’s price trajectory remains largely bullish long-term. However, analysts say bears may not be done yet, and a pullback is likely.

Per analyst Ali Martinez, the charts paint a broadening wedge pattern for Avalanche. While prices could spike to the key resistance line, a breakdown towards the support trendline could bring $9 into play.

“A right-angled ascending broadening wedge breakout puts Avalanche $AVAX on track for $9,” the analyst wrote.

On the other hand, a technical breakout could allow bulls to target $20. As momentum builds from current support, further gains could bring $35 into the bulls’ view.

• Cardano price consolidates in the $0.43 region after double-digit gains in 24 hours.
• ADA is near the middle point of a key downtrend channel.
• With potential tailwinds in the offing, can ADA price see another leg up?

Cardano (ADA) remains the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, with bulls keeping the token anchored above $0.40.

The latest rebound toward $0.43 after briefly slipping below that mark last week has revived optimism, reinforcing expectations of a potential push higher.

A decisive move above $0.50 will likely depend on broader market sentiment, continued strength in Bitcoin and renewed inflows into altcoins.

On the flip side, any deterioration in risk appetite or renewed selling pressure across majors could stall ADA’s momentum in the near term.

With the altcoin posting double-digit gains in the past 24 hours, traders are watching its intraday structure closely to gauge whether the current bounce can extend into a more convincing breakout.

Cardano price jumps above $0.43

In the early hours of December 3, 2025, ADA surged by more than 10%.

Most of these came within a 12-hour window that also saw Solana, Sui and Ethena rank as top gainers.

ADA climbed from an intraday low near $0.398 to a high of $0.446 on major exchanges.

Trading volume spiked by more than 67% compared to the previous 24-hour period, reaching over $1 billion.

Accompanied by price gains, this signalled renewed investor interest.

The recovery aligns with broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Fresh inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional adoption narratives have added to macro expectations to buoy altcoins.

Increased bullish momentum could push the token’s value higher.

ADA price key hurdles: technical outlook

Despite the encouraging rebound, several technical obstacles remain before a sustainable bullish breakout can be confirmed.

On the daily timeframe, ADA continues to trade within a multi-month descending channel that began after the local top near $0.89 in October 2025.

The upper boundary of this channel currently sits around $0.465–$0.48.

Cardano price hovers below the middle point, and declines have coincided with the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) , which is dipping.

This widely watched gauge of short-term trend currently has its resistance focused around $0.53.

A decisive daily close above $0.48 would be required to invalidate the prevailing bearish structure.

If this happens, ADA will target the 50-EMA, with immediate resistance at $0.59 and the $0.68 zone.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has climbed up from oversold territory.

However, it remains below the neutral threshold, leaving room for uncertainty.

Yet, decisive action may benefit from the bullish momentum of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator.

Bulls will mainly target that spot where the 50-day EMA and the upper trendline of the aforementioned channel show potential convergence.

On the flipside, a failure to hold $0.40 on a closing basis would expose ADA to a retest of $0.30.
