Metrics Ventures' December report highlights a chaotic and stagnant crypto market as 2025 concludes. Trading volumes on centralized exchanges and the NYSE have decreased, with volatility flattening and no clear trend emerging. Notably, silver is outperforming Bitcoin, with the Shanghai Silver Exchange reporting monthly volumes of 750 billion RMB. While MSTR's retention in the NASDAQ 100 and potential clarity from the Federal Reserve in 2026 offer some optimism, the firm describes the market as being in a year-long consolidation phase. Investors are advised to remain cautious and prepare for future market movements.
