📢 Crypto Market News – December 31, 2025
Market Overview: The Grand Finale of 2025 It is the final day of a historic year for crypto. The global market cap is closing the year near its peak at $3.22 Trillion. Trading volumes are thinning out as Wall Street closes early for New Year's Eve, but the sentiment remains overwhelmingly bullish going into 2026.
Bitcoin (BTC) Eyes Historic Annual Close Bitcoin is trading at $90,800, pushing for a new all-time high close.
The "Annual Candle": Technical analysts are glued to the charts. A close above $90,000 tonight would print a massive bullish engulfing candle on the 12-month chart, historically signaling a parabolic run for the following year.
Volatility Warning: Liquidity is very thin right now. Expect potential "wicks" (sudden sharp moves) in the final hours of the year as algorithms fight for the closing price.
Ethereum (ETH) Reclaims $3,100 Ethereum has joined the year-end party, breaking above $3,100 today. The narrative for ETH is shifting positively as anticipation builds for the "Verkle Tree" upgrade scheduled for Q1 2026, which promises to solve major state-bloat issues.
2025 in Review: The "Institutional Year" As the year wraps up, reports highlight that 2025 was the year of "Corporate Treasuries." With MicroStrategy leading the way and companies like Microsoft and Tesla increasing allocations, Bitcoin has firmly established itself as a corporate reserve asset this year.
Memecoins: The New Year's Gamble Retail traders are betting on "New Year" themed memecoins. Tokens related to "2026", "Fireworks", and "Resolution" are trending on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). While extremely risky, volume on these assets has spiked 300% in the last 12 hours.
