  • Futures open interest slid to $21 billion, basis and funding remained muted, and options positioning stays bullish with call-side skew rising.
  • Ether erased post-Fusaka gains, while the CD20 and memecoins weakened further.
  • ZEC y TRX desafiaron la tendencia con una fuerza destacada.

The crypto market fell during the European morning, with bitcoin BTC$91,190.06 dropping to $91,200 after hitting a weekly high of $94,200 on Wednesday.

La vente massive peut être attribuée à des sorties record de l'ETF bitcoin IBIT de BlackRock, avec 113 millions de dollars supplémentaires de sorties enregistrées jeudi alors que les taureaux de la crypto n'ont pas réussi à reprendre le contrôle du marché aux ours.

El índice de Miedo y Avaricia permanece deprimido en 25/100, sin lograr encontrar su camino hacia una zona neutral después de estar por debajo de 40/100 durante más de un mes.

Posicionamiento de derivados

  • El mercado de futuros de BTC muestra una cautela sostenida y un desapalancamiento agresivo. El interés abierto (OI) ha caído a $21 mil millones desde $25 mil millones hace un mes, lo que indica una reducción en el apalancamiento y la exposición al riesgo de los comerciantes.
  • Este desapalancamiento está ocurriendo junto con métricas de derivados de mercado consistentemente bajas: la base anualizada a tres meses se mantiene estable en 4%-5%, y las tasas de financiación son estables en 5%-6% en los principales lugares, sin que ninguna métrica muestre un cambio significativo en el último mes.
  • Les options BTC montrent un biais haussier soutenu malgré la baisse de la volatilité. La structure à terme de la volatilité implicite (IV) pour le court terme a chuté, s'éloignant de la backwardation vers un contango plus typique, indiquant une baisse des mouvements de prix immédiats et extrêmes attendus.
  • No obstante, la inclinación del volumen sigue siendo alcista, con un volumen de opciones de compra/venta de 24 horas aún al 57% a favor de las opciones de compra. Crucialmente, la inclinación de 25 delta a una semana ha visto un ligero aumento reciente al 8%, confirmando que los comerciantes todavía están pagando una prima por la exposición al alza a corto plazo.
  • La reciente volatilidad del precio de BTC provocó liquidaciones de $280 millones en 24 horas, con $200 millones siendo posiciones largas. ETH ($88 millones) y BTC ($85 millones) lideran en términos de liquidaciones nominales.
  • El mapa de calor de liquidaciones BTC/USDT en Binance sugiere una gran cantidad de liquidaciones largas alrededor de $90,600, según los datos de Coinglass. Ese es el nivel a tener en cuenta, en caso de una caída de precios.

Charla de tokens

  • The altcoin market performed equally poorly over the past 24 hours as TAO, HYPE and NEAR all lost more than 6.5% of their value.
  • But the biggest story was in the price action of ether ETH$3,127.27. Less than a day after its much-anticipated Fusaka upgrade, ETH gave back much of its initial gains, falling 2.62% from its daily high at 03:00 UTC.
  • La acción de precio apagada de ETH pinta una historia reveladora para el mercado más amplio de altcoins, ya que incluso los supuestos catalizadores alcistas están cayendo en oídos sordos.
  • The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index mirrored ETH's decline while CDMEME, CoinDesk's memecoin index, slid 5.8% in the past 24 hours.
  • CoinMarketCap's "Altcoin Season" indicator se estancó en 21/100, aparentemente permanece atrapado en una zona bajista con los comerciantes optando por la consistencia de bitcoin y la seguridad de las stablecoins.
  • Dos excepciones a la caída del viernes: la moneda de privacidad zcash ZEC$385.30 y TRX, el token nativo de la cadena de bloques Tron, que subieron un 4.7% y un 1.8%, respectivamente.
  • In the case of ZEC, it is bouncing back from a corrective phase where it became "oversold" on the relative strength index (RSI). TRX, meanwhile, seems to be running its own race having recorded gains on the daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.

BlackRock’s IBIT Faces Record Outflow Run as Bitcoin Struggles to Reclaim Bull Trend

Another $113 million exited on Thursday, putting the fund on track for a sixth week in the red, its longest streak since debuting in early 2024.

What to know:

  • BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has experienced over $2.7 billion in redemptions over the past five weeks, marking its heaviest outflow cycle since its launch.
  • The iShares Bitcoin Trust is on track for a sixth consecutive week of outflows, reflecting a broader shift in crypto market positioning since October's market downturn.
  • Despite Bitcoin's recovery to the low $92,000s, institutional flows remain negative, indicating a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

Peter Schiff challenges President Trump to debate, moves on Binance’s CZ

The post Peter Schiff challenges President Trump to debate, moves on Binance’s CZ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Peter Schiff has challenged President Trump to a debate about the U.S. economy after the president verbally attacked him for speaking on the affordability crisis.  Despite the growing concern among Americans regarding inflation, President Trump continues to claim that prices are falling and the economy is recovering.  President Donald Trump’s verbal attacks continue  Financial commentator Peter Schiff publicly challenged President Donald Trump on Saturday after the president attacked him on Truth Social for appearing on Fox & Friends Weekend.  The president’s attack on Schiff was in response to his discussing the affordability crisis facing Americans during his morning television appearance on December 6, 2025. Trump posted on Truth Social, questioning why Fox & Friends would host Schiff. The president described Schiff as a “Trump hating loser who has already proven to be wrong.”  Trump insisted that prices are substantially reducing and blamed former President Joe Biden for creating the affordability crisis. He claimed gasoline hit $1.99 per gallon in certain states and that other prices are almost all down. Hours later, Schiff responded on X, challenging Trump or his designee to a debate on the U.S. economy and the effectiveness of his policies. In a separate post, Schiff suggested Trump should change the name of his social media platform to “Lie Social,” considering his dislike for the truth. During his Fox & Friends appearance, Schiff explained that the inflation rate is going to accelerate as Trump’s term progresses and that the policies continue to impact pricing. He told the show’s host, Griff Jenkins, that Biden had a lot of help in causing the affordability crisis, including from Trump during his first term.  Schiff stated that Trump is not fixing the problem but making it worse. The President has continued to dismiss concerns about affordability as a Democrat con job. During…

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
