Against the backdrop of mainstream Layer-1 blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain continuing to dominate market attention, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is showing signs of independent strength with a relatively low profile. Multiple market and on-chain data indicate that BCH could become one of the most outstanding Layer-1 altcoins by the end of 2025, with its potential breakout brewing. In terms of price performance, Bitcoin Cash has increased by nearly 32% since the beginning of this year, significantly outperforming several mainstream blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. More notably, BCH's rise has been almost unaffected by ETF expectations or strategic reserve concepts, suggesting that its market movement is driven more by its own network activity and capital behavior rather than external narratives. This also highlights BCH's inherent resilience as a Bitcoin fork asset, which remains intact after multiple market cycles.

After a noticeable correction in the fourth quarter, XRP price has endured sustained downward pressure, with most of the earlier gains being retraced. As selling accelerates, the market is beginning to worry that XRP may not be able to sustain the consecutive annual gains of the past two years and could end 2025 with losses. However, some investors still hope that buying interest before the end of the year can bring a turnaround to the price. From on-chain data, XRP holders showed a clear pattern of loss-taking sales in the fourth quarter. The realized profit and loss indicator shows that a large number of investors are choosing to close positions at a loss, which is uncommon among large cryptocurrencies. Typically, long-term holders prefer to wait for a rebound during a decline, but the current selling behavior reflects a rising uncertainty about XRP's short-term prospects, with risk aversion sentiment outweighing long-term confidence.

With the launch of the Midnight network and its native token NIGHT in the Cardano ecosystem, there was a discussion in the community about whether it would replace ADA. In response, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson clarified that this understanding is a misconception. The goal of NIGHT is not to replace ADA, but to serve as an important component of Cardano's privacy network, expanding the application boundaries of the entire ecosystem without compromising ADA's core value. Midnight is a privacy and compliance extension layer within the Cardano system, focusing on privacy smart contracts, selective disclosure, and data protection that meets regulatory requirements. This direction has attracted market attention and also raised concerns among some investors about value transfer. Hoskinson emphasized that the existence of NIGHT is to enhance Cardano's overall capabilities, not to divert or weaken ADA's position.

As MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock price continues to strengthen, the Florida pension fund recently took a significant investment action by increasing its holdings in related stocks to indirectly gain exposure to the Bitcoin market. According to the latest disclosures, the fund has purchased approximately $47 million worth of MicroStrategy shares. This move indicates that the Florida pension fund has gained exposure to assets highly correlated with Bitcoin prices without directly holding Bitcoin. MicroStrategy is currently one of the publicly traded companies holding the largest amount of Bitcoin globally, with a substantial portion of its balance sheet allocated to Bitcoin. The company's founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has long publicly supported Bitcoin and considers it an important reserve asset to combat inflation and enhance the company's long-term value. Therefore, investing in MicroStrategy stock has become an important alternative pathway for institutional investors to participate in the Bitcoin market.

Decentralized prediction market Polymarket recently faced account security controversies. Multiple users have reported that their Polymarket accounts were hacked without any abnormal operations, and funds within the accounts were quickly transferred out.

According to the platform's response on the official Discord channel, after user reports of fund loss and abnormal login activity, Polymarket has confirmed a security incident. Multiple user posts from Reddit and X indicate that some users, after receiving login alerts not initiated by themselves, found their account balances emptied. One user stated that neither their device nor other accounts had been compromised, but only $0.01 remained in their Polymarket account.

Cryptocurrency market maker DWF Labs officially takes a key step across boundaries by completing its first physical gold transaction, involving a gold bar weighing 25 kilograms. This move marks DWF Labs' departure from the solely digital asset sector and signals its systematic entry into the traditional commodities market, exploring the deep integration of digital finance and physical assets. The gold transaction occurred against the backdrop of rising gold prices. Amid increasing global inflation pressures, heightened macroeconomic uncertainties, and escalating geopolitical risks, gold's appeal as a traditional safe-haven asset has significantly increased. DWF Labs' decision to enter the physical gold market at this time is seen as a strategic and forward-looking move.

Early Bitcoin participant and prominent cypherpunk Adam Back recently reiterated his long-term stance, stating that Bitcoin is the "only choice to dominate all cryptocurrencies." This statement is highly consistent with the current market trend of Bitcoin's continued dominance and has once again sparked discussions in the market about Bitcoin's long-term value and its differences from other crypto assets. As the inventor of Hashcash, Adam Back was deeply involved in cryptography and decentralization research before the birth of Bitcoin. His ideas are widely believed to have had a significant influence on Satoshi Nakamoto's design. Therefore, his judgment on Bitcoin holds strong symbolic significance and reference value within the crypto industry.

The Bank of Japan's October meeting minutes show that members are wary of inflation risks, believing that corporate and household expectations have reached 2%.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to be sluggish, the huge gap between the actual market value of many blockchain projects and their early venture capital valuations has been thoroughly exposed. CryptoRank summary data shows that many crypto startups once favored by venture capital firms and valued near or even reaching unicorn levels now have a market value in the secondary market that is only a small fraction of their previous valuation, reflecting a systemic valuation reset amid tightening liquidity. Data shows that Humanity Protocol was once valued at nearly $1 billion in venture capital funding, but its current market value is about $285 million. Fuel Network was also valued close to $1 billion during its funding stage, but its current market value is only about $11 million. Bubblemaps has a similar situation; its venture capital valuation was once high, but now its market value is only about $6 million.

The US Treasury is facing unprecedented pressure. In the fiscal year 2025, the interest payments on the US federal government debt will exceed $1 trillion for the first time, surpassing defense spending and also exceeding Medicare expenditures, setting a record high. This change has sparked widespread discussions about the sustainability of US finances and has also brought significant attention to the role of stablecoins in the macro financial system. Data shows that in the fiscal year 2020, the US net interest expense was only $345 billion, but by 2025, it has approached $970 billion; including all public debt interest, the total officially exceeds $1 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that over the next ten years, cumulative interest payments will reach $13.8 trillion, nearly double the amount of the past twenty years. Some institutions even warn that in a more pessimistic scenario, annual interest expenses could rise to $2.2 trillion by 2035.

As the large-scale Bitcoin options expiration approaches, the derivatives market structure is changing. Market participants believe that Bitcoin's price is expected to break out of the sideways trading range of $85,000 to $90,000 since December and make a push towards higher levels. Previously, amid a strong US stock market and gold reaching record highs, Bitcoin was confined to a range-bound oscillation for a long time, disappointing many investors. The key reason behind this was the hedging mechanism in the options market. Near the current price, a large number of options are expiring. Options give traders the right to buy or sell Bitcoin at a specific price, while option sellers typically hedge dynamically through spot and futures markets. Their behavior is influenced by "Delta" and "Gamma." When the price approaches the high Gamma zone, traders need to buy and sell frequently to hedge risks, which suppresses price volatility.
