This week, the Bitcoin price fell to almost $90,000 as selling pressures prevented the flagship crypto from hitting the critically important $100k level. It has decreased by 1.56% over the past week and is currently trading at $97,108.
Bitcoin's dominance in the market is sending strong signals to altcoin investors. Smaller cryptocurrencies like Solana, Ethereum, and Melega (MARCO) might see a surge in December as more investments flow in before January 20.
Bitcoin dominance, which shows Bitcoin's value compared to the total crypto market, has fallen to 56.1%, dipping below its two-year support level. This indicates that the market is now in altseason.
Early 2025 might be an exciting time for the altcoin ecosystem. Follow along to read our top 6 latest news and key developments in the cryptocurrency market!

Charles Hoskinson Predicts Bitcoin Price Surge
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has made a bold prediction for Bitcoin, forecasting its price will rise to between $250,000 and $500,000 within the next 12 to 24 months. He attributes this growth to increased investment and the expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Hoskinson believes Bitcoin’s role as a store of value on the internet will strengthen, especially with the integration of DeFi through new bridges, such as Cardano’s network. This, he argues, will outpace all other DeFi ecosystems in the cryptocurrency space.
Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Set for Approval
The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) is expected to approve Ripple Labs' RLUSD stablecoin, a dollar-pegged, overcollateralized stablecoin, by December 4. Ripple's plan to launch RLUSD aims to improve cross-border payments and complement its XRP token. Despite initial concerns about XRP's future, Ripple has assured that both products will coexist. Ripple executives predict the stablecoin market could reach a $2 trillion market cap by 2028. The stablecoin is currently being tested on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, with plans for further expansion.
Bitcoin CME Futures Hit $100K, Spot Price Lags Behind
On Nov. 29, Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) surpassed $100,000 for the second time in a week, reaching $100,200. However, Bitcoin's spot price has yet to match this milestone, peaking at $98,600 before a sell-off. Despite strong trading volumes and a high demand for BTC, consistent selling pressure near the $100,000 level is preventing the spot price from breaking through. Analysts suggest that pushing the price to $99,000 could trigger liquidations, potentially driving Bitcoin above $100,000.
Bitwise Files for 10 Crypto Index Fund ETF with SEC
Bitwise has filed for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on its 10 Crypto Index Fund, which includes Bitcoin, Ether, and other major cryptocurrencies. The fund, launched in 2017, is primarily composed of 75.14% Bitcoin and 16.42% Ether. The ETF will offer indirect exposure to these cryptocurrencies, with custody handled by Coinbase and cash assets managed by BNY Mellon. The SEC has acknowledged the application, though no approval deadline has been set. Bitwise also rebranded its European XRP ETF and filed for other crypto-focused ETFs.
Solana Memecoin Trader Turns $160 into $5.6M
A trader on the Solana blockchain turned a $160 investment into $5.6 million by buying the viral "Just a chill guy" (CHILLGUY) memecoin. On November 15, the trader purchased 9.6 million CHILLGUY tokens with 0.50 SOL ($107), followed by a second purchase of 2.8 million tokens for 0.246 SOL ($51). Despite selling some tokens early for $35,000, the trader still holds 9.62 million tokens, now worth about $5.6 million. The memecoin surged after its launch, reaching a market cap of $643 million by November 27.
Dogecoin Surpasses Porsche Market Cap, Analysts Predict 1,000% Price Surge
Dogecoin has surpassed Porsche’s market capitalization, reaching $57.8 billion, thanks to Elon Musk's endorsements and growing interest, including the potential launch of a Dogecoin exchange-traded product (ETP). Over the past month, DOGE has surged 175%, fueled by Musk’s influence, such as his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Some analysts now foresee a potential 1,000% price increase for Dogecoin based on emerging technical chart patterns, specifically the Gaussian channel, which suggests a repeat of its past price trajectory.
