Dogecoin rose 4% to trade near $0.14 on Thursday, with market capitalization around $21 billion and 24-hour volume close to $1.6 billion. Daily active addresses topped 67,500 on December 3, the second-highest level in three months. Support around $0.138–$0.14 has held, and traders are watching $0.16 as the next resistance.

Stellar network operations surged in early December, underscoring cross-border payment activity and drawing fresh attention to XRP, according to Artemis. XRP fell 2.4% in the past 24 hours but remains above $2, with $2.20 viewed as a key resistance level for the next move.

Terra’s LUNA has risen 222% since the start of the month after the Dec 8 v2.18 upgrade tightened security, improved Cosmos interoperability, and reinforced the LUNA–USTC link. On Dec 11, 2025, a U.S. court hearing for co-founder Do Kwon drew fresh attention. Traders are watching resistance near $0.246 and $0.357 with RSI around 63. Downside risk toward $0.0665 remains.

XRP is under pressure at the $2 level after twice losing that support since the October sell-off. $1.3 billion in tokens moved off exchanges over the past month. Institutional ETF holdings have reached $945.49 million. Daily on-chain fees have dropped 89% and XRPL TVL has fallen to $70 million, pointing to weak network usage and a speculative tilt to recent accumulation.

On Thursday in a Manhattan federal court, Terraform Labs co‑founder Do Kwon was sentenced to 15 years in U.S. prison after pleading guilty in August to conspiracy tied to the $40 billion TerraUSD/LUNA collapse. The judge exceeded prosecutors' 12‑year request and ordered forfeiture of more than $19 million. LUNA spiked from about $0.08 to above $0.24 before retreating toward $0.17.

Memecoin dominance in the altcoin market fell from above 0.11 in late 2024 to around 0.04 in 2025, matching lows last seen in 2022, according to CryptoQuant and CoinGecko. Dog-themed, Solana-based and AI-focused tokens have all reversed from their late-2024 and early-2025 peaks. The synchronized declines point to a broad retreat in speculative retail activity rather than a brief cooldown.

As 2025 draws to a close with Bitcoin trading below its yearly opening near 99K and nursing a loss of more than 7%, Google’s Gemini AI is being used to sketch out potential paths for XRP, Shiba Inu, PEPE and newer memecoin Maxi Doge, according to the article. The model outlines a possible 4–6x move for XRP from around $2.00, sees Shiba Inu targeting resistance at $0.00000910 alongside a planned 2026 Shibarium privacy upgrade, and projects PEPE preparing for a push toward $0.000018 while defending key support. Maxi Doge has raised over $4.29 million with 40% of its MAXI supply going to a public presale, positioning it as a meme underdog that some traders think could benefit if a broader memecoin rally materializes in 2026.

On December 9, 2025, Terra Classic’s v3.6.1 upgrade won 99.39% YES votes and introduced a legacy contract fix to enhance security and reliability. LUNC has surged 230% this month, and open interest is up 400%. Traders are watching $0.0000836 as support and $0.000275 as a potential extension. A 0.91 long‑short ratio signals caution.
