YouTube competitor Rumble (RUM) is in a deal for a $775 million strategic investment from stablecoin giant Tether.

Rumble will use $250 million of the money to support operations and the remainder to fund a tender offer for up to 70 million shares of its common stock at a price of $7.50, according to a Friday evening press release. That $7.50 is the same price per share Tether is paying for its stake.

“I truly believe Tether is the perfect partner that can put a rocket pack on the back of Rumble as we prepare for our next phase of growth,” said Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski.

“Legacy media has increasingly eroded trust, creating an opportunity for platforms like Rumble to offer a credible, uncensored alternative,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. “Beyond our initial shareholder stake, Tether intends to drive towards a meaningful advertising, cloud, and crypto payment solutions relationship with Rumble.”

RUM shares have rocketed higher by 41% in after hours action to $10.13.

As Bitcoin’s Post-Fed Price Dip Extends, This Key Contrary Indicator Offers Fresh Hope: Godbole

A key contrary indicator is flashing green offering hope to BTC bulls anticipating a renewed upswing into six figures.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) post-Fed price drop to $96,000 has activated a crucial contrary indicator that has historically marked the end of price pullbacks.

On Wednesday, the Fed cut the benchmark borrowing cost as expected but penciled in only two rate cuts for 2025, down from four projected in September. The central bank stressed that it’s not interested in participating in a potential government plan to build a strategic BTC reserve.

Since then, BTC has dropped over 8%, hitting lows near $96,000 at one point. As of writing, the cryptocurrency changed hands near $97,500, down nearly 10% from the record high of $108,266 reached early this week, CoinDesk data show.

The losses have caused the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) to dip below the 200-hour SMA, confirming a bearish crossover. The pattern suggests that the ongoing pullback could evolve into a deeper one, although it has failed to live up to its reputation during the recent bull run.

Bitcoin has experienced a few pullbacks during its post-U.S. election rally from $70,000 to over $100,000, and each of these dips has ended with a bearish crossover of the 50- and 200-hour SMAs.

The latest crossover, therefore, offers hope to bulls expecting a renewed move into six figures above $100,000.

A potential bounce could face resistance near $10,600, a level identified by the descending trendline, representing the recent price drop. A violation there would open doors for record highs.

It’s important to remember that patterns don’t always play out as expected, and the contrary indicator discussed above may fail, potentially leading to a deeper drop. The first sign of trouble will be if prices move below the overnight low of $96,000, which could expose the swing low of around $91,000 recorded on Dec. 5.

UK Set to Prohibit Public Offers of Crypto

The FCA’s paper also asks for industry input on its incoming markets admission and disclosures as well as market abuse regime.

The U.K. intends to prohibit public offers of crypto, the Financial Conduct Authority said in its paper on the incoming crypto regime on Monday.

Legislation will be put in place to prohibit public offers of crypto, building on the U.K.’s promotion rules that prevent unregistered crypto firms from reaching out to U.K. clients. Only crypto asset trading platforms and offers qualifying for exemptions may not be subject to this.

CoinDesk reached out to the Treasury for input on whether or not this only applies to regulated companies as the FCA could not comment on this.

The paper asks for industry input on its market admission and disclosures as well as market abuse regime and is one of many more papers to come from the regulator as it prepares for its crypto regime.

The FCA is the U.K.’s regulator in charge of overseeing financial activities in the country including crypto. It has been watching over the sector and seeing how it will comply with its money laundering rules since 2020 but it plans to put in place a new regime in 2026 following the implementation of draft regulation that is coming out next year.

It will need industry feedback on how it can ensure consumers have the necessary information to make informed decisions as well as on their plans to reduce fraud via the market abuse regime.

Bitcoin Mining Economics Continued to Improve in December, JPMorgan Says

The hashprice, a measure of daily mining profitability, rose 5% from the end of November, the report said.

Bitcoin (BTC) mining economics continued to improve this month, as the hashprice, a measure of daily profitability, rose 5% from the end of November, JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Monday.

The hashprice increased as the rally in the world’s largest cryptocurrency outpaced the rise in the network hashrate, the report said. The hashrate is a proxy for competition in the industry and mining difficulty.

Story continues below

The network hashrate has increased 6% month-to-date to an average of 773 exahashes per second (EH/s), the bank noted.

“We note miners earned about $57,300 in daily block reward revenue per EH/s over the first two weeks of December,” analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote, adding that this is the highest level in the last seven months, but is still about 40% below pre-halving levels.

The combined hashrate of the fourteen U.S.-listed miners the bank tracks has increased almost 94% year-to-date to 222 EH/s and now accounts for around 29% of the global network, the bank said.

The total market cap of the miners the bank tracks fell 4% or $1.5 billion, having increased more than 50% following the U.S. presidential election.

The bank estimated that the U.S.-listed miners are currently trading on about two times their proportional share of the four-year block reward opportunity.

Ethena Rolls Out Stablecoin Backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL Token

The protocol’s governance token ENA rallied over the weekend as Donald Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial invested in the token.

Red-hot decentralized finance (DeFi) project Ethena said Monday it is rolling out its new stablecoin that aims to help stabilize the protocol’s flagship USDe token when crypto markets turn bearish.

The USDtb token aims to keep a steady $1 price and holds 90% of its reserves in BUIDL, the tokenized money market fund issued by asset management behemoth BlackRock and tokenization firm Securitize.

Story continues below

“In light of the rapidly accelerating demand for different stablecoin options, we saw a clear opportunity to provide a new product that offers users an entirely different risk profile from USDe without them having to leave our trusted ecosystem,” Ethena founder Guy Young said in a statement.

Ethena is one of the fastest-growing DeFi platforms this year, attracting nearly $6 billion of user funds since its public launch in early 2024. The protocol’s flagship token USDe, marketed as a “synthetic dollar” with a steady $1 price, generates yield to investors by shorting bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and solana (SOL) perpetual swaps and farming the funding rates. This investment strategy offers lofty yields – currently 27% annualized – when crypto markets are in bull mode, but can quickly turn unprofitable when things turn bearish with persistently negative funding rates.

The new offering will allow Ethena close the underlying derivatives positions behind USDe and divert the backing assets to USDtb during periods of negative funding rates and mitigating risks, the Ethena team explained.

The protocol also aspires to get USDtb accepted as collateral in the future for margin trading on centralized exchanges.

Ethena enlisted Copper, Zodia Custody, Komainu, and Coinbase Institutional as custodians for USDtb, according to a press release. Liquidity providers for the token include Jump, Cumberland, Amber Group, GSR Markets and SCB Limited.

Ethena also applied with the new USDtb stablecoin for Sky’s, formerly MakerDAO, so-called Tokenization Gran Prix program that aims to invest up to $1 billion funds in tokenized real-world asset (RWA) products.

The protocol’s governance token recently garnered the attention of President-elect Donald Trump DeFi project World Liberty Financial, which purchased some $500,000 worth of tokens on Saturday, blockchain data showed. ENA subsequently rallied 25% over the weekend before paring some of the advance on Monday.

Avalanche Blockchain’s Largest-Ever Upgrade, ‘Avalanche9000,’ Is Live

The technical changes are designed to attract developers to the ecosystem and let them create their own customized blockchains, known as subnets.

Avalanche, a layer-1 blockchain launched in 2020 that’s now the tenth-largest by total value locked (TVL), activated its highly anticipated Avalanche9000 upgrade Monday, marking the ecosystem’s biggest technical changes to date.

Story continues below

The network has been prepping for these changes for months, with new features that will cut the costs for sending transactions, operating validators and building applications on the network.

Leaders at Avalanche have previously told CoinDesk that part of the goal with the upgrade is to attract developers to Avalanche and encourage them to create customized blockchains using its technology, known as subnets, or “L1s”.

The upgrade, also referred to as the Etna upgrade, consisted of seven improvement proposals. The two biggest changes that were implemented were known as ACP-77 and ACP-125.

https://x.com/avax/status/1868710879535214878

ACP-77 is a proposal that introduces a new type of validator, so users can launch their own subnets. These new nodes are less costly to operate, with the aim of therefore bringing in more people to spin them up and create their own Avalanche-based networks.

ACP-125 lowers the base fee on Avalanche’s main network that runs smart contracts, known as the C-chain, from 25 nAVAX (about $0.00000098) to 1 nAVAX ($0.00000004.) The goal is to make it cheaper to compute on that network. One nAVAX equals one-billionth of one AVAX. (Avalanche has two other main chains:the P-chain, where users can stake AVAX and operate validators; and the X-chain, which is used for sending and receiving funds.)

The Avalanche Foundation announced that ahead of the upgrade, it raised $250 million in a token sale, led by Galaxy Digital, Dragonfly and ParaFi Capital.

SEC Approves Crypto Wallet Maker Exodus to List on NYSE American After Denying It in May

Exodus will list under its current ticker on NYSE American at the open of trading on Dec. 18

Crypto wallet company Exodus Movement (EXOD) has been approved to list on the NYSE American, the New York Stock Exchange’s sibling market.

Exodus, which will be listed under its current ticker at the open of trading on Dec. 18, was originally meant to be listed on NYSE American in May, but the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it was still reviewing the company’s registration.

Story continues below

The approval of Exodus’ uplist may be a sign of a change in the regulatory sentiment toward cryptocurrency following President-elect Trump’s victory in November’s election with the promise of running a pro-crypto administration.

“We expect this uplisting will raise Exodus’ corporate profile, while also enhancing liquidity for our current and future shareholders,” CEO of Exodus JP Richardson said.

Exodus stock, currently listed on the OTC Markets (OTCQX), rose as much as 10.5% before pairing all of thegains.

Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Attracts Frenzy Bids for 800 XRP Ahead of Release

While RLUSD’s price will always be redeemable for $1, some onchain “collectors” are likely bidding to be the first to hold the much-awaited Ripple stablecoin.

Ripple’s upcoming RLUSD stablecoin is attracting bids upto 836 XRP on onchain marketplaces ahead of its Tuesday release, a sign of frenzy among enthusiasts who may want to be the first to hold the token.

These bids range from 500 XRP to as much as 836 XRP as of Asian morning hours on Tuesday, CoinDesk viewed on the Xaman application. Each XRP exchanges hands for just under $2.5, data shows.

Story continues below

“There actually is someone willing to pay $1,200/RLUSD for a tiny fraction of one RLUSD.,” Ripple Labs CTO David Schwartz said in a Monday post. “Tools will show you the highest price anyone is willing to pay, even if it’s just for a tiny bit. Maybe someone wants the “honor” of buying the first bit of RLUSD on the DEX.”

“But rest assured, the price will come back to very close to $1 as soon as supply stabilizes. If it doesn’t, something is very seriously wrong,” Schwartz added.

Speculators often engage in high-priced transactions for small quantities of a new token or NFT to gain early access or to capitalize on the novelty of holding the first batch.

As such, RLUSD might not have enough liquidity to maintain its peg effectively in the first few hours after it goes live, meaning there may be some price discrepancies from the intended $1 peg. However, each token will be redeemed for only a dollar, and it is unlikely to remain depegged for an extended period.

RLUSD will go live on the XRP Ledger (XRP) on Tuesday, as CoinDesk reported, with initial listings on several exchanges and crypto platforms, including Uphold, MoonPay, Archax, and CoinMENA.

Bitcoin Traders No Longer Chasing Record Price Rally Like Before, Options Data Show

The way options are currently priced indicates a more measured bullish sentiment compared to what we’ve witnessed recently.

While bitcoin (BTC) continues to reach new lifetime highs, the latest options market trend indicates that traders aren’t chasing the uptrend with the same zeal as before.

On Monday, BTC’s price rose above $107,000, surpassing the previous peak on Dec. 5 and taking the cumulative post-U.S.-election gain to over 50%, CoinDesk data show.

Story continues below

The rally follows President-elect Donald Trump’s assurance that the U.S. will build a bitcoin strategic reserve similar to its strategic oil reserve. Analysts expect the winning streak to continue next year, with prices ranging between $150K to $200K by the end of the following year.

However, the current pricing of options trading on Deribit indicates that traders aren’t chasing the rally like they used to, signaling a more cautious outlook for the short term.

At press time, the 25-delta risk reversal for options expiring on Friday was negative, indicating the relative richness of put options that provide protection against price drops. Puts expiring on Dec. 27 were trading at a slight premium to calls, while the risk reversals extending to the end of March end expiry demonstrated a call bias of less than three volatility points.

That starkly contrasts the trend we’ve observed over the past few weeks, where traders aggressively chased new price peaks, driving short-term and long-term call biases to over four or five volatility points. In fact, short-term risk reversals frequently displayed a stronger call bias than their longer-term counterparts.

The latest block trades coming through on Deribit, as tracked by Amberdata, also show a bearish lean. The top trade so far today has been a short position in the Dec. 27 expiry call at the $108,000 strike followed by long positions in the $100,000 strike puts expiring on Dec. 27 and Jan. 3.

The cautious sentiment could be due to concerns that on Wednesday the Federal Reserve will signal fewer or slower rate hikes for 2025 while delivering the widely expected 25 basis points rate cut. Such an outcome could accelerate hardening of the bond yields, strengthening the dollar and denting the case for investing in riskier assets. Perhaps, sophisticated BTC traders are positioning for a correction.

OpenSea Cayman Islands Registration Sparks Airdrop Speculation

OpenSea recently announced its platform would be revamped in December.

Non-fungible token (NFT) exchange OpenSea sparked speculation it is preparing a potential token airdrop after it registered an entity in the Cayman Islands.

X user Waleswoosh, a pseudonymous researcher at Azuki, posted a screenshot of the OpenSea registration. The registration was present on the Cayman Island’s general registry and was also confirmed to CoinDesk by OpenSea.

Story continues below

The post led to speculation over whether the move was a step toward releasing a token in a more crypto-friendly jurisdiction than the U.S. A dashboard created on Dune lets OpenSea users check their historical activity to estimate how much a potential airdrop might be worth.

OpenSea declined to comment on whether it would be introducing an native token.

The company is headquartered in New York and was the primary venue for the NFT bull cycle in 2022, racking up a record $2.7 billion of trading volume on a single day in May that year. The emergence of rival platform Blur coupled with a wider market decline resulted in a loss of market share. Trading volume over the past 24 hours hit $21 million, less than 1% of the record.

The company was valued at $13 billion after it raised $300 million during the height of the 2022 cycle. The market has now shifted, with focus on memecoins like dogwifhat (WIF) and bonk (BONK) rather than non-fungible token projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks.

OpenSea plans to turn the tide back in its favor this month as it rolls out OpenSea 2.0. More than 1 million unique wallets have registered for the waitlist.

The new platform features a “retro” section, which rewards users for historical activity in the form of “points.” Points leaderboards have been a common way of airdropping tokens to users this year by incentivizing ongoing activity and loyalty. There’s no indication that OpenSea plans to follow that path, however.
