Bitcoin saw one of its largest supply migrations ever as traders braced for the US Federal Reserve’s December rate decision and shifting expectations toward a rate cut. A historic shift in Bitcoin ownership unfolded during the latest market downturn, while the broader crypto market remained tied to uncertainty over a possible US Federal Reserve rate cut in December. Over 8% of the total Bitcoin (BTC) supply changed hands in the past seven days, making the current market decline “one of the most significant onchain events” in Bitcoin history, according to Joe Burnett, analyst and director of Bitcoin Strategy at Semler Scientific. During previous significant Bitcoin supply movements, Bitcoin traded at about $5,000 in March 2020 and around $3,500 in December 2018, said Burnett in a Tuesday X post. Read more

The Bitcoin CME gaps appear when futures reopen after weekend moves. Understand why they form, how often they fill and what they mean for BTC’s price action. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap appears when the price of Bitcoin (BTC) changes between Friday’s closing price and Monday’s opening price on the CME Bitcoin futures market. Price movement over the weekend, when no CME trading takes place, creates a disconnect on the chart. These gaps often draw attention because they tend to be filled once the market reopens. Let’s look at an example. If BTC closes at $109,880 on the CME on Friday evening and the price rallies over the weekend, the market might reopen on Monday at $110,380. That creates a $500 gap.

Price consolidation continues near key support as volume activity remains elevated above weekly averages.

VanEck’s amended BNB ETF filing scraps all staking plans, unlike its Solana product, explicitly distancing itself from BNB staking amid regulatory risk. Asset manager VanEck backed away from its earlier plans to stake assets in its proposed spot BNB exchange-traded fund, despite offering staking in its recently launched Solana product. In its updated S-1 filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday, VanEck said “the Trust will not employ its BNB in Staking Activities and accordingly will not earn any form of staking rewards or income of any kind from Staking Activities” at the time of listing. The filing further warns that “there can be no assurance that the Trust will engage in any Staking Activities” in the future, either. The company acknowledged that avoiding staking could cause the ETF’s performance to lag that of holding BNB (BNB) directly, noting that investors would forgo potential staking rewards. Read more
