Bitcoin’s famous four-year halving rhythm is giving way to a shorter, ETF-driven performance clock, argues ProCap Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Jeff Park in a new Substack essay. In his view, the dominant force in Bitcoin’s boom-bust dynamics is shifting “from mining economics to fund-manager economics,” with a new “two-year cycle” anchored in ETF flows and institutional return hurdles. Park starts by declaring that the traditional pattern built around halvings belongs to “the old Bitcoin.” Historically, programmed supply cuts compressed miner margins, pushed weaker operators out and reduced structural sell pressure. Combined with a powerful narrative, each halving triggered a reflexive loop of “early positioning, rising prices, media virality, retail FOMO and lever...

Bitcoin suffered a sudden and deep drop in November, losing nearly a quarter of its value and wiping out over $1 trillion across the crypto market. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Sudden Volatility Jump Signals Options Could Be Calling The Shots—Analyst Whales Trim Positions Before Crash According to on-chain data from CryptoQuant, large holders played a central role. Wallets holding between 1,000–10,000 BTC pared back their stakes in the weeks leading up to the fall. Those big sellers took profits after the October rally, and in many cases selling was steady rather than panicked. When large players step back like that, market depth can vanish quickly.

After a few months of ups and downs, the XRP price had fallen below $2 this month for the first time in seven months, breaking down toward its yearly support of $1.79. While there has been some recovery recently, the momentum remains low, and the chances of a sustained recovery decline with each new dip. As the altcoin continues to struggle, a market analyst has outlined the two major directions that the price could go in, given the bull and bear scenarios. The Bull Case For XRP For the XRP price to continue to rise, there would need to be some major momentum shift from here. For one, the price will first have to break the resistance that lies at $2.12, and then forge forward to test further resistance at $2.18. In the event that the altcoin does break these resistan...

The Layer 1 blockchain Monad (MON) successfully went live on Monday, igniting a significant surge in its native token. Within 24 hours of its launch, MON emerged as the best-performing asset among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. MON Token Hits $0.045 All-Time High  Last week, Monad’s token sale kicked off on Coinbase’s new token presale platform, gaining robust momentum by raising approximately $50 million. However, just 12 hours into the sale, that initial enthusiasm began to wane.  The fundraising effort only accumulated $95 million of the ambitious $187 million target for Circle’s USDC stablecoin.
