📢 Crypto Market News – December 25, 2025
Market Overview: The "Christmas Freeze" Trading volume has dropped significantly today as US and European traditional financial markets are closed for the Christmas holiday. The global crypto market cap remains flat at $3.13 Trillion. While the markets are open 24/7, the absence of institutional players (Spot ETF desks) means liquidity is "thin," which can sometimes lead to sudden, unexpected price wicks.
Bitcoin (BTC) Hovers at $89,800 Bitcoin is trading very quietly, hovering just below the psychological $90,000 mark.
Status: It seems the "Santa Rally" paused right at resistance.
Warning: Traders are advised to be cautious of "fakeouts" due to low liquidity. A small amount of volume could move the price significantly in either direction today.
- Memecoins Dominate Holiday Trading With institutions away, retail traders ("degens") are dominating the volume. Historically, holidays see a spike in Memecoin activity as people trade on their phones during family gatherings.
Movers: Dogecoin (DOGE) and Pepe (PEPE) are seeing a 5-8% pump today, outpacing major utility coins.
Trend: Several Christmas-themed micro-cap tokens on Solana are trending on DexScreener, though they carry extremely high risk.
Spot ETFs: Zero Flows Today It is important to remember that US Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are closed today. There will be no inflow/outflow data to drive sentiment until markets reopen on Friday or Monday. The price action today is purely driven by the spot market and derivatives.
Ethereum (ETH) Defends $3,000 Ethereum is successfully holding the $3,000 support level established earlier this week. The low gas fees continue, making it a good day for users to execute on-chain transactions (swaps, bridging) relatively cheaply compared to busy weekdays.
