Bitcoin's 'Digital Gold' Status Challenged by Recent Volatility

Bitcoin's recent price decline has sparked debate over its status as 'digital gold' and a stable store of value. Nate Geraci of NovaDius Wealth Management pointed out that despite Bitcoin's strong performance during the 2025 'tariff tantrum' sell-off, its recent sharper fall compared to the stock market raises concerns about its volatility. Geraci described Bitcoin as a 15-16-year-old asset, suggesting it is too young and volatile to be a true store of value. The recent sell-off was influenced by weakness in tech stocks and high leverage in the crypto market, leading to significant outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past month. Geraci also noted that most other cryptocurrencies behave more like tech stocks than stable stores of value, further questioning Bitcoin's role as a digital safe haven.

Kevin O’Leary Predicts U.S. Regulations Will Favor Bitcoin and Ethereum

Kevin O’Leary has forecasted that upcoming U.S. regulations will primarily benefit Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), potentially sidelining most altcoins. O’Leary suggests that regulatory reforms, including the Genius Act and the Clarity Act, are driving market consolidation around these two leading cryptocurrencies. He anticipates that institutions will allocate 3-5% of their portfolios to BTC and ETH, which could capture 90% of market performance, as stablecoins and digital assets become standardized under new laws.

Web3 Projects Thriving Amid Market Downturn

In the current market environment characterized by liquidity tightening and narrative decline, certain Web3 projects are proving resilient. These projects fall into three main categories: centralized exchanges that profit steadily from transaction fees, on-chain protocols like PerpDex, stablecoin issuers, and high-frequency blockchains that have established a complete business cycle, and crypto KOL ecosystems that monetize attention and have restructured content during the bear market. These projects share a common trait of having stable revenue streams, relying less on funding or narrative-driven growth.

Bitcoin Cash Surges 40%, Leading Layer-1 Performance in 2025

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has emerged as the top-performing Layer-1 blockchain asset of the year, with a nearly 40% increase in value. This performance surpasses other major networks such as BNB, Hyperliquid, Tron, and XRP, which have seen only modest gains. Analyst Crypto Koryo attributes BCH's success to favorable supply dynamics, including no token unlocks or venture-capital overhang, which reduces sell-side pressure. The entire supply of BCH is circulating, contributing to its strong market performance. In related news, Bitcoin is expected to experience a brief dip to around $87,000 before potentially rebounding to $100,000, according to trader Michaël van de Poppe. He suggests that macroeconomic factors, such as reduced quantitative tightening and potential rate cuts, could support this bullish scenario. However, he warns that failing to maintain key support levels could lead to further declines.

Bitcoin Options Market Reflects Cautious Sentiment Amid Price Volatility

The Bitcoin options market is showing signs of caution as investors anticipate the cryptocurrency to remain within a narrow price range. Following a significant decline in the fourth quarter that wiped out over $1 trillion in market value, traders have adopted a more defensive stance. Over the weekend, Bitcoin's price fell by 4.4% to $88,135, breaking below the $100,000-$80,000 range it had held for three weeks. Data from Deribit via Coinbase indicates a preference for short-term options, with open interest in these contracts surpassing long-term ones. This trend suggests that investors are selling options to earn premium income, expecting low volatility in the near term. Despite this, there is still strong demand for long-term options, indicating potential for significant price movements in the future, according to Wintermute strategist Jasper De Maere.

XRP Eyes $10 Target Amid Regulatory Clarity and Institutional Growth

XRP's potential to reach $10 by 2025 is gaining traction following significant regulatory and institutional developments. The SEC's August 2025 ruling classified XRP as non-securable in retail transactions, leading to a $125 million settlement with Ripple and barring direct institutional sales in the U.S. This clarity has spurred institutional adoption, with Ripple's on-demand liquidity service processing $130 billion in Q2 2025. Further boosting XRP's prospects, a U.S. XRP ETF is set to launch in September 2025, and Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road to form Ripple Prime is expected to enhance its market position. Currently trading near $2.15, XRP is in a bullish wedge pattern with resistance at $2.75. Analysts suggest a $10 target by mid-2026, contingent on volume confirmation and structural breakouts, though the target remains speculative in the short term.

SEC to Evaluate Crypto Privacy Regulations in Upcoming Roundtable

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold a roundtable discussion on December 15 to explore the regulatory implications of cryptocurrency privacy. Key participants, including Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, will discuss the potential integration of privacy technologies like zero-knowledge proofs into compliance frameworks. This meeting could influence the SEC's approach to regulating digital asset brokerages, trading systems, and custody services. Analysts suggest that if consensus is reached on the compliance capabilities of privacy technologies, it may lead to more flexible regulations. However, a divide between privacy advocates and those concerned about crime could maintain the current surveillance-focused regulatory stance.
