📉 Market Pulse: late-Dec 2025 The Bad News: The dip is confirmed. BTC is down to ~$88k (from the $126k peak), and the alt market is hurting. Why? US regulations are stalled (CLARITY Act), institutions are risk-off, and holiday liquidity is drying up. The Good News: The "Meme Phase" is dying; the "Utility Phase" is starting. RWAs represent the new trend: Tokenized bonds/gold are gaining steam. Smart Money: Institutions are treating BTC as a reserve asset, not a lottery ticket. Bottom line: Prices are down, but the tech and policy foundations are actually getting stronger. This is a painful but necessary reset.
