CRYPTO NEWS

Global markets opened mixed on December 15, 2025, with Asian stocks falling on weak Chinese data and renewed tech-sector concerns, while European markets gained, led by banks and miners. U.S. futures rose modestly ahead of major central bank decisions from the ECB, BoE, and BoJ, alongside key U.S. jobs and inflation data. The dollar weakened after last week’s Fed rate cut and President Trump’s remarks on future Fed leadership. Bitcoin hovered below $90,000, up 1.4%, while gold and silver extended gains amid easing yields and rate-cut expectations.

Digital asset treasury companies are facing significant pressure after Bitcoin’s October crash, with many sitting on unrealized losses. Over 180 public firms hold crypto on their balance sheets, often following strategies pioneered by Michael Saylor in 2020. Shares of bitcoin- and ether-holding treasuries have fallen 30–65%, with some firms’ mNAV ratios approaching 1, signaling market valuations below their crypto holdings. Strategy CEO Phong Le emphasized that the company is an operating business, not a passive fund, and has set up a $1.44 billion cash reserve to cover dividends and debt amid ongoing volatility.

Bitcoin slid to a two-week low near $87,500 over the weekend before rebounding to around $89,700, struggling to break the $90,000 mark. Traders are cautious ahead of a macro-heavy week, including U.S. jobs and CPI data, UK and EU inflation prints, and the Bank of Japan’s Friday rate decision. The BoJ decision is particularly critical, as any rate hike could disrupt the yen carry trade, increasing funding costs for risk assets and potentially pressuring Bitcoin further.

Itaú Unibanco, Brazil’s largest private bank, recommends investors allocate 1–3% of their portfolios to Bitcoin for diversification and protection against currency devaluation. Renato Eid of Itaú Asset Management emphasized a long-term approach and noted the BITI11 ETF as a practical way to gain exposure. The move reflects Brazil-specific currency concerns and aligns with growing global acceptance of crypto in traditional portfolios.

The UK Treasury plans to regulate crypto under the same rules as traditional financial products by 2027, overseen by the FCA. The move aims to boost transparency, protect consumers, and hold firms accountable, following the Digital Assets Act 2025. The FCA will also focus on sterling-pegged stablecoins in 2026.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is reportedly planning to start selling its large holdings of exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) as early as January 2026, marking a significant step in its shift away from years of ultra‑loose monetary policy. The liquidation of these assets, which total roughly ¥83 trillion (about $534 billion) in market value, is expected to be carried out gradually over many decades to avoid disrupting financial markets. This could tighten liquidity and dampen risk appetite, putting short-term pressure on crypto like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
