PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to a recent report from Grayscale, Bitcoin's 32% pullback since early October is in line with historical averages, marking the ninth significant pullback in the current bull market. Grayscale believes that Bitcoin may not enter a deep cyclical downtrend, predicting its price could reach new highs next year, and questions the applicability of the four-year cycle theory. The report points out that this bull market has not seen the parabolic rise of past cycles, and the market structure has also changed. Funds are mainly flowing in through exchange-traded products (ETPs) and digital asset vaults (DATs), rather than retail trading. Furthermore, privacy-oriented crypto assets have performed exceptionally well, with Zcash rising 8%, Monero increasing by 30%, and Decred surging by 40%. Meanwhile, the first ETPs for XRP and Dogecoin have begun trading. Grayscale also noted that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates again at its December 10 meeting, and the progress made by both parties in US bipartisan legislation on crypto could provide further positive news for the market. Despite continued market volatility in the short term, Grayscale remains optimistic about the crypto market outlook for 2026 and emphasizes the importance of long-term holding.PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to a recent report from Grayscale, Bitcoin's 32% pullback since early October is in line with historical averages, marking the ninth significant pullback in the current bull market.

Grayscale: Bitcoin may hit a new high in 2026; the four-year cycle theory is questionable.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…

Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally

Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally

The post Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet has secured a 50 million dollar loan using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral to fund new BTC purchases and income products. At the same time, chartist Titan of Crypto says Bitcoin’s price action continues to track a earlier relief rally fractal on the two day chart. Metaplanet secured a 50 million dollar loan backed by its existing Bitcoin holdings, according to a new disclosure shared today. The company said the funds will support additional Bitcoin purchases and expand its Bitcoin-based income operations as part of its ongoing treasury strategy. The filing shows that Metaplanet pledged part of its current holdings to obtain the loan instead of issuing new equity or bonds. This structure allows the firm to raise capital while keeping its Bitcoin position intact. It also signals that the company continues to lean heavily on Bitcoin as both a reserve asset and a financing tool. The move follows a series of Bitcoin-focused initiatives from Metaplanet, including earlier bond issuances and ongoing accumulation programs. Today’s loan marks the latest step in that strategy as the company increases leverage to expand its holdings. Analyst Sees Bitcoin Still Following Earlier Cycle Fractal Meanwhile, Crypto chartist Titan of Crypto says Bitcoin’s latest pullback still fits the “relief rally” fractal he has been tracking on the two-day chart. In a new update, he compares the current structure to the 2021–2022 cycle, highlighting a similar sequence of a local peak, a sharp drop into a demand zone, and then a rebound. Bitcoin Relief Rally Fractal Roadmap.

An accompanying momentum oscillator also shows a repeat of lower highs on price…
