The cryptocurrency market was quiet early Wednesday, with trading muted on the final trading day of 2025. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reversed recent withdrawal trends, but price action stayed subdued and overall market value remained above $3 trillion.
Bitcoin traded near $88,700, up about 1% over 24 hours, while retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained in ‘bearish’ territory with chatter at ‘normal’ levels. Ethereum held around $2,970, unchanged over 24 hours, and retail sentiment improved to ‘bearish’ from ‘extremely bearish’ amid ‘low’ chatter.
CoinGlass data shows about $116 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours (CoinGlass liquidations), nearly evenly split between long and short positions. Short bets on Bitcoin accounted for most forced unwinds.
ETF flow data from Farside indicated a snap back after multi-day outflows: Bitcoin ETFs ended a seven-day withdrawal streak and Ethereum ETFs ended four days of outflows. Spot ETF (an exchange-traded fund that holds the underlying asset) flows reversed, yet prices stayed range-bound.
Among large-cap altcoins, Binance Coin (BNB) rose about 1.4% and Solana (SOL) gained roughly 1.2%, with retail sentiment shifting toward ‘bullish’ for BNB and improving for SOL. At the lower end, Dogecoin (DOGE) fell about 1.5% and Cardano (ADA) slipped about 1.4%, with mixed retail sentiment readings across platforms.
