2-4% Crypto Dip! Sovereign Wealth Funds Buying BTC! CTFC approves U.S. Spot Crypto!

Crypto majors were broadly lower, falling 2–4% with BTC down 2% at $91,400, ETH down 2% at $3,130, BNB down 2% at $893, and SOL down 4% at $136, while ZEC (+4%) and TRX (+2%) led the day’s top movers. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said sovereign wealth funds have been steadily accumulating Bitcoin, adding that they “bought more” as BTC declined from $126K into the $80K range to build long-term positions. The IMF warned that rising stablecoin adoption could weaken central bank control in a new report examining currency substitution and monetary sovereignty risks. Solana and Coinbase’s Base network were linked through a new bridge secured by Chainlink and Coinbase infrastructure. The CFTC also approved spot crypto trading on CFTC-registered exchanges, with Bitnomial set to debut first. In the U.K., Reform UK received the country’s largest-ever political donation from a living donor—an $11.4M contribution from a Tether-linked investor. Meanwhile, recent research indicated that the ~$4B in Bitcoin ETF outflows seen in October–November stemmed primarily from leveraged basis-trade unwinds across major funds rather than investor panic.

Among top movers, ZEC (+10%), TAO (+8%), and DASH (+6%) outperformed. Large ETH holders resumed sizeable spot purchases following Monday’s liquidations, suggesting renewed institutional dip-buying. At the Dealbook Summit, Brian Armstrong noted that “top banks” are partnering with Coinbase on pilots for stablecoins, custody, and trading. BlackRock released its 2026 outlook with a risk-on tilt, maintaining an overweight position in U.S. equities and highlighting AI and rising stablecoin adoption as “megaforces” reshaping markets. Meanwhile, Binance introduced “Binance Junior,” a crypto savings account for minors with extensive parental oversight, and Startale—Sony’s Soneium blockchain partner—launched USDSC, a stablecoin set to serve as the default settlement asset on the Soneium L2.
