Shiba Inu breaks from exhaustion pattern with 11% December rally
SHIB breaks out with an 11% run in a market frozen by extreme fear.
- SHIB rally. SHIB has kicked off December with an unexpected 11% gain over the past 10 days.
The biggest meme coin on Ethereum, Shiba Inu (SHIB), is starting December with a price pattern that refuses to match the exhausted narrative many attached to the meme coin over the past few months because, after shedding liquidity and sentiment for weeks, it suddenly posted an 11% gain across 10 days.
What makes this move more noticeable is the market backdrop, where the Fear and Greed Index still sits deep in fear territory at 22 after printing extreme fear at 16 yesterday and 15 last week. So, it is fair to say that SHIB pushing higher inside that environment tells you the asset is moving on chart mechanics rather than collective mood.
Bitwise XRP ETF gains access on Vanguard
$10 trillion financial giant Vanguard now offers exposure to Bitwise’s XRP ETF among other products.
- Big institutional move. Bitwise’s XRP ETF can now be traded by Vanguard clients.
Bitwise’s XRP exchange-traded fund is now available for Vanguard clients, according to a recent social media post by chief executive officer Hunter Horsley. It began trading on Nov. 20, securing rather impressive inflows.

However, as reported by Bloomberg, more than 50 million of Vanguard’s customers will be able to start trading select crypto ETFs and mutual funds that hold cryptocurrency assets.

Billy Markus speaks out on recent crypto crash
Dogecoin creator has shared what appears like sarcastic commentary on the latest crypto market crash.
- Manipulation claims. Dogecoin creator Billy Markus reacted to the latest crypto crash, calling claims of “manipulation”.
The recent crypto crash has sparked reactions from players in the sector, with Billy Markus dropping a reaction post on X.
Notably, reacting to the prevailing sentiments in some quarters that the crypto market crashed as a result of manipulation, Markus dismissed it as an emotional response. He mocked those who always believe that when the prices of crypto assets dip, it is the result of whale manipulation.
Some market participants are quick to blame large holders in the space for dumping their assets on the market to create selling pressure. They believe that these whales turn around to buy the token at a lower price, a move considered manipulation.
However, Markus exposed the error in such reasoning when he stated, “Remember, all dumps are manipulation, and all pumps are super organic.”
