Unrealized losses across crypto have climbed to roughly $350 billion, with Bitcoin around $85 billion, as multiple liquidity gauges weaken, according to Glassnode. Stress is rising, but unrealized profits remain in the hundreds of billions. Long‑term holders still show substantial gains, pointing to a mixed backdrop rather than broad net losses.

J.P. Morgan has executed one of the first U.S. commercial paper issuances on a public blockchain, using the Solana network for the transaction. The bank structured the deal for Galaxy Digital Holdings LP, with both issuance and redemption settled in USDC.

On 10 December, cryptocurrencies edged higher after the Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points. Bitcoin traded near $92,297 and Ethereum closed around $3,335. Total market capitalization recovered toward $3.26 trillion, while altcoins’ market cap approached $1.46 trillion.

On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell used a press conference to explain the rationale for a 25bps rate cut and to lay out a plan to buy roughly $40 billion in Treasury bills to keep bank reserves ample. He said tariff-driven goods inflation appears to be a one-off shift in the price level, while rising labor‑market risks now outweigh inflation concerns, opening the door to further easing. This policy pivot and the planned liquidity injections are viewed as creating a more supportive macro backdrop for Bitcoin and other digital assets heading into 2026, according to the press conference remarks.

Wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC accumulated 47,584 BTC in early December, reversing a two-month selloff of 113,070 BTC between October 12 and November 30, data show. The accumulation has stabilized price action. However, continued retail buying may limit upside momentum compared to previous accumulation-driven rallies when retail sold while whales accumulated.
