❄️ Strategy is preparing for a potential “crypto winter”
🔎 Analysts at CryptoQuant believe Michael Saylor’s company is getting ready for a bear market. Strategy has begun building a USD reserve to cover debt obligations over the next two years — currently $1.4B, with plans to increase it. 💵
Experts note that a 24-month cash buffer signals the company sees a real risk of Bitcoin entering a prolonged sideways phase or deeper decline. 👀
This shift may have major market implications:
▪️Lower BTC purchases from Strategy could weaken a key source of demand that fueled previous bull cycles.
▪️But the USD reserve also reduces the chance of forced BTC selling during stress, which ultimately supports long-term market stability.

📊 Bitwise: Corporate ETH treasuries are collapsing
According to Bitwise, companies bought only 370,000 ETH in November (~$1.1B) — an 81% drop from the August peak. 🧐
The corporate treasury model is rapidly losing strength: premiums are shrinking, demand is fading, and smaller firms are entering a “death spiral”, losing access to capital and the ability to keep accumulating ETH.
A worrying signal for the corporate ETH narrative — pressure i clearly building. 🧱

🦋 CryptoQuant CEO: A 2022-style Bitcoin crash is unlikely
According to CryptoQuant’s CEO, if Strategy keeps holding its 650,000 BTC (~$60B) this cycle — or sells only a small portion — the market is unlikely to see another -65% Bitcoin drawdown like in 2022. 📉
BTC is currently about 25% below its ATH, and even if a bear phase begins, the decline will likely be much milder, resembling a broad sideways range rather than a deep collapse.
His message to long-term holders: avoid panic selling. Bitcoin now has stronger liquidity channels and far better structural support than in past cycles. 🤔

📱 Major Security Flaw Found in Popular Android Chip — Solana Phones at Risk
Ledger researchers have demonstrated a critical exploit in the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip — the same one used in Solana Seeker smartphones.
⚡️ Using an electromagnetic attack, they gained full control of the device, and the flaw lies in the boot ROM, meaning it cannot be patched.
Key points:
• The vulnerability is baked into the silicon — no software fix is possible.
• Attackers can escalate privileges to the highest level.
• Solana Seeker phones inherit the same hardware-level flaw.
• Storing private keys on such devices is unsafe.
• Ledger stresses that only secure-element hardware wallets protect against this class of attacks.
A serious reminder: if your phone uses Dimensity 7300, it should not be your crypto storage device. 🤷

🇺🇸 BlackRock: U.S. Debt Growth Could Spark a Crypto Bull Run
BlackRock predicts that the rising U.S. national debt — potentially hitting $50T by 2035 — will drive crypto gains over the next decade, as a weakening dollar increases demand for Bitcoin as a store of value.
💡 The booming AI sector requires massive investments in energy and infrastructure, funded through the expanding deficit.
With spot ETFs making institutional entry easier, cryptocurrencies are shifting from speculation to a legitimate hedge against debt and the new AI-driven economy.
Bottom line: Crypto is becoming a natural response to rising debt and economic transformation.

📈 Ripple CEO: Bitcoin could hit $180K by 2026
Key points from the interview:

🥊 Peter Schiff vs CZ: The Bitcoin vs Tokenized Gold Debate
At Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai, Peter Schiff and CZ went head-to-head in a debate about Bitcoin vs tokenized gold. Before the event, Schiff even posted a cartoon video showing him and CZ fighting — CZ using Bitcoin, Schiff using a gold bar. 🥋
But on stage things flipped: CZ “knocked him out” by demonstrating a fake gold bar, making his point clear —
“No proof of work — no value.” 🤷
Bottom line: the debate highlighted how, in today’s market, digitally verifiable value can outweigh physical gold, especially when gold can be counterfeited.

😳 Japan’s sovereign debt is on the edge
🇯🇵 Japan’s 10-year bond yield has jumped from –0.28% to 1.92% since 2019 — the highest since 2007. The country’s debt-to-GDP ratio is 215%, and it just launched a $135B stimulus package.
Markets now expect an 80% chance that the Bank of Japan will hike rates again on December 19. Such a move could trigger a carry-trade unwind, potentially causing global shockwaves.
While everyone watches the Fed’s decision on December 10, the real financial time bomb may be Japan.
Remember: on August 5, 2024, BTC briefly crashed below $50k during a carry-trade panic 😩

💸 Funds Are Accumulating Bitcoin
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says sovereign wealth funds have been quietly buying large amounts of BTC around $80k — not for speculation, but for true long-term accumulation.
🐂 According to Fink, the Bitcoin market will accelerate much faster than most expect, and the key catalyst will be the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
🔼 BlackRock believes tokenization will become the foundation of the new global financial system in the coming years.
Fink continues to fuel interest in the RWA narrative — clearly warming up the market ahead of BlackRock’s upcoming products. 🕐

CZ finally met Michael Saylor in person for the first time — a moment many in the community have been waiting years to see. 😎
At the same time, CZ said he doesn’t feel the need to return to day-to-day work at Binance anymore. 🤷
And honestly… why would he? When you can travel, chill, and meet interesting people instead 😄

📈 Bitcoin is gearing up for $100k
A CoinDesk analyst highlights several bullish signals pointing to a continued uptrend. 👀
• BTC volatility (BVIV) has dropped to 48, breaking below the long-term trend — fear is fading and the market is stabilizing.
• A weakening dollar adds extra support for risk assets.
• Technical setup: BTC is holding above $93,104 and above the Ichimoku cloud, keeping momentum strong.
• Next targets: $98k–$100k.
⚠️ Risk: a move back below the Ichimoku cloud could weaken the bullish impulse.
Targets for major alts:
🔹 ETH — $3,500
🔹 SOL — $165
🔹 XRP — $2.30
Overall: market structure remains bullish, and the push to six figures is back on the table.

👀 Casascius Bitcoin coins come alive after 13 years
Over the weekend, two transactions of 1,000 BTC each were moved for the first time in over 13 years — coming from so-called Casascius Coins. Someone finally decided to stop holding paper wealth and become a real multimillionaire. 💵
Casascius Coins were physical Bitcoin coins issued between 2011–2013: metal tokens with a hologram hiding a private key loaded with BTC. To access the funds, the hologram must be peeled off — destroying the coin’s collectible value forever.
Many collectors have held these coins untouched for years. According to TimeChain Index, the 17 largest Casascius holders may still control 36,467 BTC (~$3.65B). 🙀
Just a month ago, BTC from one of these coins was also moved to Coinbase — a sign that more “sleeping” legends may be waking up.

Trend Score Signal s Broad BTC Accumulation 💰
The Trend Score indicator shows active Bitcoin buying across almost all market participants — from large holders to retail investors. This kind of behavior has appeared before: in some cases it preceded further price growth, in others the market continued to decline. 📈📉👀
Historically, however, such broad-based accumulation has more often been observed either around major trend reversals or during the middle of strong rallies, when market optimism — and greed — start to intensify. 🚀

If this scenario plays out, BTC could face a deeper correction into the $35,000–$45,000 range. 😢
While fractals aren’t guarantees, the discussion highlights growing caution in the market as volatility and uncertainty return.
