Over the past week, the crypto market has continued to trade in a range near key support levels. BTC and ETH both experienced several rapid rallies and pullbacks, but prices quickly returned to consolidation ranges, indicating that current price action is largely driven by existing capital repeatedly trading in a relatively thin-liquidity environment, with no clear entry of trend-driven incremental capital. At the same time, leveraged positioning has continued to unwind: options open interest (OI) declined overall and became highly concentrated around the December 26 expiry, with an estimated USD 26.5 billion in notional value set to expire. Spot trading volumes remain subdued, making prices more sensitive to marginal capital flows and further amplifying short-term volatility.

In November 2025, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization trended downward overall, as weak buying momentum, rising macroeconomic uncertainty, and cooling risk appetite jointly constrained any meaningful rebound. Stablecoin market capitalization across public blockchains remained highly concentrated, with Ethereum accounting for more than half of the total; fund flows pointed to increasing sectoral divergence, as chains such as Arbitrum and Starknet recorded notable net inflows. Meanwhile, the prediction market continued to expand rapidly, with Opinion’s monthly trading volume surging and quickly emerging as a third major player competing with Polymarket and Kalshi. The Web3 industry completed 53 financing deals totaling $2.67 billion, a sharp decline from October, signaling a phase of contraction and structural tightening.

The author revisits Nick Szabo's pocket and general-purpose computer concepts, critically examines Ethereum's shift from decentralization—represented by Proof of Work individual nodes—to bureaucratic intermediaries under Proof of Stake following The DAO rollback, and predicts that stablecoins will replace ETH as the primary vehicle for value capture. This transition is expected to leave stablecoins caught between competing interests, while power increasingly shifts back to Layer 2 solutions.

This article analyzes industrial demand, the liquidity illusion driven by expectations of interest rate cuts, LBMA’s $2 billion in debt backed by 140 million ounces under a fractional reserve system, the global eastward shift of gold, and central bank accumulation of physical reserves.
