This article summarizes cryptocurrency news as of December 18, 2025, focusing on the latest Bitcoin updates, Ethereum upgrades, Dogecoin trends, real-time cryptocurrency prices, and price forecasts.

Although Solana (SOL) has recently faced downward pressure, institutional assessments of its long-term value remain optimistic. In the past 24 hours, SOL price has dropped about 4%, breaking below the key support level of $130, and is currently around $123, reflecting a generally bearish sentiment in the crypto market. During the same period, the global crypto market declined approximately 1.5%, with weekly losses expanding to 7.5%. Bitwise Asset Management stated in its annual market outlook that Solana is expected to reach a new all-time high by 2026. Analysts believe that the core driver of SOL's long-term rise comes from the continuous strengthening of its network fundamentals. Data shows that Solana hit a historical high of $294.33 in January 2025. Although it has retraced nearly 58% from that peak, the correction has not altered its long-term growth trajectory.

Solana (SOL) has recently been consolidating above the key support level of $120, with the price fluctuation range continuously narrowing, indicating that the market is at a critical decision point. As technical signals diverge, the core question for traders is: will SOL hold the support and rebound, or break below $120 to initiate a new downward trend? After a prolonged correction, Solana's price is currently mainly trading within the $120 to $130 range. According to market data, the latest trading price of SOL is approximately $127, slightly weakened but still above the long-term demand zone. This area has historically determined medium-term trends, making it a key battleground for both bulls and bears.

According to SoSoValue data, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) recorded approximately $4.6 million in outflows on that day, marking the first net redemption since the product was listed at the end of October and breaking the previous record of over a month of continuous fund inflows. This redemption corresponds to the sale of about 36,800 SOL tokens, and the ETF's trading volume also dropped to a historical low on that day. The outflow was driven by a general decline in risk appetite across the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana all experiencing pullbacks amid rising macroeconomic uncertainties and tightening liquidity at the end of the year.

This article summarizes cryptocurrency news as of December 15, 2025, focusing on the latest Bitcoin news, Ethereum upgrades, Dogecoin trends, real-time cryptocurrency prices, and price forecasts. Major Web3 events today include: 1. The UK Treasury drafts new regulations, with the cryptocurrency market to be regulated by the FCA, expected to take effect in 2027. 2. Eric Trump: Bitcoin has no "management," so there are no issues of corruption, fraud, or abuse. 3. The top three cryptocurrencies Cathie Wood is most optimistic about: BTC/ETH/SOL.

Amid the rising risk aversion in the overall market, the fundamentals of Layer 1 public chains are also under pressure, with Solana (SOL) becoming one of the most watched cases. From a price performance perspective, SOL has fallen about 37% this quarter, marking the largest quarterly decline since Q2 2022, and becoming one of the worst-performing mainstream cryptocurrencies during the same period, with market confidence and FOMO sentiment continuing to cool down. On-chain data further reinforces the characteristics of a "surrender phase." SOL has retreated over 50% from its $250 high, with short-term holders' realized losses significantly increasing, and STH NUPL rapidly declining, indicating a large amount of chips changing hands in the loss zone. Meanwhile, LTH NUPL for long-term holders has fallen back to levels seen in April of this year, when SOL experienced about a 30% drop. This suggests that even long-term capital is gradually losing patience.

On Thursday, the US stock market retreated, with Oracle's stock price plunging over 11%, marking the largest drop in nearly a year. The market is once again worried that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI)-related capital expenditures, which far exceeds actual returns, could put pressure on the balance sheets of tech giants. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market performed relatively stably, forming a mild decoupling from the weak performance of tech stocks. Data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded above $92,000, maintaining a slight upward trend after holding onto key support levels, rising approximately 2.6% for the day.

BlockBeats News, December 11 — Bitwise Co-Founder and CIO stated at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that compared to networks like Ethereum, applications on Solana truly utilize the last 1% of performance, providing users with the next marginal liquidity and scalability. On many chains, running a node is just "downloading software and double-clicking to start"; who stakes more or less, and what applications can be made for the network and users, hardly makes any difference. But on Solana, the application landscape changes daily, with protocol layer, performance, and capacity rapidly iterating; node performance directly determines the ceiling. It is precisely because of this that we pay extra attention: as this product (referring to staking ETFs/trusts) locks more and more SOL and its weight increases, the ecosystem, developers, users, and even the entire community must feel

BlockBeats News, December 11th, Helius CEO Mert stated at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that investors can purchase BSOL, a stock token issued by Bitwise and managed by us (i.e., Bitwise's SOL spot issuance).

PUMP tokens continue to strengthen in the Solana ecosystem, with the scale and speed of its buyback program far exceeding market expectations. The latest on-chain data shows that PUMP's total buyback amount has officially surpassed $205 million, setting a new project record and surpassing Raydium to become the largest buyback in the Solana network. Since Pump.fun launched its buyback mechanism five months ago, 13.86% of the circulating supply has been eliminated, which is a significant milestone for an experimental project rooted in meme culture. The on-chain monitoring platform SolanaFloor pointed out that PUMP's buyback activity maintains high intensity almost every day. On December 10th alone, the protocol used about 8,750 SOL to buy back over 4.015 billion PUMP tokens, worth approximately $1.2 million. The buyback volume was nearly the same the previous day, and even on relatively stable trading days, the buyback strength remains in the hundreds of millions of tokens. This steady pace is driven by Pump.fun's practice of using daily income directly for buybacks, continuously reducing the token supply.

FTX and Alameda Research have resumed their monthly routine token unlock process. This week, both released a total of 194,861 Solana (SOL), valued at approximately $25 million. Lookonchain initially detected this movement, and Arkham Intelligence subsequently confirmed the related data. Since FTX's bankruptcy liquidation has been ongoing on schedule since 2025, this month's operation aligns with previous cycles and does not show signs of additional selling pressure, but the scale still raises market caution. Data shows that SOL tokens flowed from an Alameda-related staking account into the FTX liquidation structure for ongoing asset disposal. Alameda played an important role early on in the Solana ecosystem's validation and development, holding a large amount of long-term staked positions. The bankruptcy administrator is currently adopting a "periodic unlock + gradual disposal" approach to minimize market disruption.

Solana (SOL) price is approaching the key resistance level of $140, and several on-chain and derivatives indicators suggest that it may be in a "deep cycle reset" phase, signaling a potential strong rally. On December 10, SOL was trading at $138, up 5% in 24 hours, but still down 17% over the past month. Over the past week, the price has traded sideways between $128 and $145, but it has been accompanied by a significant increase in volume.

An increase in OI during a sideways price movement usually means that traders are accumulating positions to lay out in advance for potential trend reversals.
