XRP slips below $1.90 as traders watch $2 ceiling and year-end crypto flows

NEW YORK, Dec 29, 2025, 5:05 PM ET — After-hours. XRP eased on Monday, trading near $1.85 and drifting lower after another attempt to push back above $1.90 faded. CoinMarketCap+1 The move matters now because XRP has been tracking broader crypto direction into the final days of the year, when thinner liquidity can exaggerate swings and force leveraged traders to cut positions quickly. The Economic Times Macro signals have also shaped the tape, with markets leaning toward U.S. rate cuts next year, a theme that has supported risk assets from equities to crypto, traders said.

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips to $87K after $90K test as year-end flows weigh

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:08 ET — After-hours Bitcoin eased in late New York trade on Monday, slipping about 0.4% to $87,129 after an early jump above $90,000 fizzled. The retreat matters heading into the final three U.S. equity sessions of 2025, when thinner liquidity can amplify moves around big, round-number levels that many traders use as reference points. Reuters Markets are also resetting expectations for 2026 rate cuts, with investors awaiting Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Tuesday and watching whether year-end funding strains spill into risk assets such as crypto.

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were last down 2.2% at $155.39 in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed another bitcoin purchase funded by selling new shares. SEC The move matters because Strategy has positioned itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” tying its equity more tightly to bitcoin’s swings than most U.S. software stocks. Strategy Investors have also become more sensitive to dilution — when issuing new stock reduces existing shareholders’ ownership percentage — as Strategy continues to tap capital markets to accumulate the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was down about 0.3% at

XRP treads water near $1.85 as crypto fund outflows persist ahead of Fed minutes

XRP treads water near $1.85 as crypto fund outflows persist ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:57 ET — Regular session XRP hovered near $1.85 on Monday, little changed after giving up earlier gains as trading stayed subdued late in the year. The token was last down 0.01% over the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap The muted price action comes as investors continue to pull money from listed crypto investment products, a signal of still-fragile demand even as year-end approaches. Some corners of the market have held up better than others. CoinShares said digital-asset investment products recorded $446 million of outflows last week, taking withdrawals since an Oct. 10 price slide to

Circle (CRCL) stock slips today as prediction-market growth call collides with year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:45 ET — Regular session Circle Internet Group, Inc. shares slipped on Monday, down about 0.8% at $80.62 in afternoon trading. The stock has moved between $78.96 and $82.96 so far in the session. The move matters now because Circle has become one of the market’s most direct listed bets on stablecoins — digital tokens designed to hold a steady value, typically by tracking the U.S. dollar. That ties investor expectations to both adoption trends in crypto payments and the path of U.S. interest rates. It also comes as investors parse where the next wave

XRP price today dips as CoinShares data show fresh inflows into XRP funds despite broader crypto outflows

XRP price today dips as CoinShares data show fresh inflows into XRP funds despite broader crypto outflows

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:11 ET — Regular session XRP slipped 0.5% to $1.85 on Monday after CoinShares said XRP-linked investment products took in $70.2 million last week, bucking $446 million of net outflows from digital-asset funds. Bitcoin was little changed around $87,494 and ether hovered near $2,932. CoinShares The flow data matters because it points to selective buying of large “altcoins” — smaller tokens beyond bitcoin — even as investors continue to pull money from the wider crypto fund complex into year-end. That split can amplify price swings in thin holiday markets, when a relatively small order can

Bitcoin steadies near $87,500 as Strategy discloses fresh buy; crypto-linked stocks mixed

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:47 ET — Regular session Bitcoin was little changed near $87,500 on Monday afternoon, after briefly pushing above $90,000 earlier in the session, as traders navigated choppy year-end markets. The muted headline move masked a wide intraday swing that spilled into U.S.-listed crypto-related shares, which tend to track the token when liquidity is thin. The timing matters because markets are entering the final days of the year with a light economic calendar and lower trading volumes, conditions that can amplify price moves across risk assets, from equities to crypto.

Intuit’s TurboTax and QuickBooks move toward USDC stablecoin payments in Circle deal

Intuit’s TurboTax and QuickBooks move toward USDC stablecoin payments in Circle deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:06 ET Intuit Inc plans to use Circle Internet Group’s USDC stablecoin and related infrastructure across its TurboTax, QuickBooks and Credit Karma products, aiming to support faster, lower-cost payments and refunds, a recent Investor Monkey report said. Finviz The effort matters because stablecoins — digital tokens designed to hold a steady value, often pegged to the U.S. dollar — are increasingly being tested by mainstream financial firms as an always-on alternative to traditional payment rails. Reuters For Intuit, stablecoin-based transfers would touch a customer base that the company says totals about 100 million worldwide and

Why IREN stock is whipsawing today as bitcoin slips and tech rally cools

Why IREN stock is whipsawing today as bitcoin slips and tech rally cools

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:27 ET — Regular session IREN Ltd (IREN.O) shares swung sharply on Monday and were last down 0.5% at $40.08 in midday New York trading. The stock has ranged from $38.55 to $42.25 so far in the session. The whipsaw highlights how tightly the Nasdaq-listed name trades with risk appetite in the final week of the year, when holiday-thinned volumes can amplify moves. It also reflects IREN’s dual exposure to two volatile themes: bitcoin mining and the build-out of data centers for artificial intelligence workloads. That combination can make the stock sensitive to both crypto

BitMine stock nudges up after firm says ether holdings topped 4.1 million ahead of shareholder vote

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:28 ET — Regular session Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc rose in late morning trading on Monday after the company said its ether holdings climbed above 4.1 million tokens and it stepped up outreach ahead of a January shareholder vote. SEC+1 The NYSE American-listed stock was up about 0.5% at $28.45, after swinging between $27.80 and $29.60 earlier in the session. The update matters because BitMine has positioned itself as a crypto-treasury play, meaning investors often value the stock off the market value of the digital assets it holds rather than traditional operating earnings.

Coinbase dips after Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto trading volumes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:46 ET — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global fell on Monday after Needham and Company lowered its price target for the cryptocurrency exchange operator, citing continued softness in crypto trading volumes. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s revenue is closely tied to customer activity, which typically cools when crypto prices lose momentum and retail trading fades. TipRanks It also lands in a year-end stretch when liquidity is thinner and investors are quick to fade riskier, high-beta stocks while waiting for fresh signals on interest rates and risk appetite.

Bitcoin dips under $88,000 as year-end trading thins; Strategy buy keeps crypto stocks in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:34 ET — Regular session Bitcoin edged lower in morning New York trading on Monday, slipping 0.3% to $87,647 after briefly climbing above $90,000 earlier in the session. The muted move matters because thin year-end liquidity can exaggerate swings, with many desks operating with reduced staffing and fewer catalysts before the calendar turns. Reuters reported U.S. markets are heading into a holiday-shortened week, with trading volumes expected to be light. Reuters Bitcoin is also sitting near a widely watched round-number level at $90,000, leaving traders sensitive to any shift in risk appetite tied to interest
