Bitcoin was rejected near $76,000 earlier in the week and later slipped into the mid $69,000s, while broader sentiment shifted back to extreme fear. Ethereum and XRP also moved lower and broke key support levels as liquidations topped $500 million. Separately, Playnance said its newly launched GCOIN reached an $80 million fully diluted valuation in under 24 hours and is aiming for a $100 million milestone.

Over the past week, XRP has risen by more than 8%, briefly moving above $1.6 before settling above the key $1.5 level, while also leading the top 10 coins over the last 24 hours with a 2.8% gain. An analyst has highlighted a breakout from a technical triangle pattern, with a potential upside target of $1.85, as XRP Ledger activity hits record highs. In parallel, PlayNance has launched GCoin staking on its PlayW3 platform, with over 250 million tokens locked within just a few hours and lockup options ranging from 6 to 18 months.

Bitcoin rose to around $74,400 before easing to about $73,700, reaching a multi-week high alongside strong ETF inflows and a new $1.57 billion purchase by Strategy. At the same time, investors are paying attention to GCoin, the PlayNance ecosystem token, which is nearing its token generation event with almost 14 billion tokens already sold and a market cap around $40 million.

Bitcoin Munari will conclude its BTCM presale on December 23 before listing the token on the public market on December 28. The team advanced this schedule after completing internal launch milestones ahead of time, keeping the fixed supply at 21 million BTCM and moving initially as a Solana SPL token with a later Layer-1 transition planned. The final presale round runs at a fixed price of $0.015 and includes an allocation without vesting, with remaining tokens reserved for validators, liquidity, the core team, and ecosystem growth.
