    If 2024 was the year crypto reentered the mainstream through TV tickers and glossy ETF commercials, then 2025 was the year the market learned to live with that attention. It absorbed it, metabolized it, and let it shape how liquidity moved day to day. Some stories were loud and obvious. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in […] The post Bitcoin price charts lied to you last year, while these eight on-chain signals quietly predicted every single move in 2025 appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Why “good news” hasn’t been moving Bitcoin recently: Macro without the boom
    CryptoSlate - 21:45 Jan 02, 2026
    Bitcoin traded in the $80,000s on Dec. 31 just as U.S. inflation cooled and investors priced Federal Reserve rate cuts. The lack of follow-through has left traders leaning less on macro headlines and more on a mix of real yields, money-market plumbing, and spot ETF flows. That shift is keeping price action pinned to defined […] The post Why “good news” hasn’t been moving Bitcoin recently: Macro without the boom appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $1.29 billion in net outflows over the 12 sessions from Dec. 15 through Dec. 31. The quiet holiday stretch became one of the cleaner stress tests yet for how “sticky” the category is when trading desks are thinly staffed, and portfolios are being squared before the calendar flips.

    Bitwise's year-end barrage of ETF paperwork should have been a perfect spark for “alt season.” On Dec. 30, the issuer filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch 11 single-token “strategy” ETFs tied to Aave, Uniswap, Zcash, NEAR, Starknet, Sui, Bittensor, Tron, and other protocols.

    CryptoSlate - 19:25 Jan 01, 2026
    At the start of 2025, crypto's biggest names issued bold forecasts: Bitcoin to $200,000, Ethereum to $7,000, a US strategic reserve, and stablecoins going mainstream. Twelve months later, the scoreboard reveals a pattern. The price targets mostly crashed and burned, while the structural calls on regulation, ETFs, and payments infrastructure quietly came true.

Banks piled into the Fed’s Standing Repo Facility, borrowing a record $74.6 billion on Dec. 31 for 2025.

    2025 delivered at least four distinct “crypto is dead” episodes: a January AI-induced flash crash, the October tariff liquidation that erased $19 billion in leveraged positions, months of altcoin carnage, and a fourth quarter slump that wiped out the year's price gains. Mainstream outlets dusted off “crypto winter” language each time.

    Glassnode data shows that XRP's exchange balances hit their lowest level since 2018 in late December, sparking the usual wave of accumulation phase speculation and “tight supply = moon” commentary.

The problem is that daily flows are noisy by design.

    There is a particular kind of Bitcoin holder who only shows up when the noise gets loud.
