Bitcoin Reclaims $90K as Crypto Markets Snap Back After Heavy Selloff

2025/12/03 13:05
  • Bitcoin saw a 6% uptick, climbing back above $92K. This sparked a broad market rebound after a sharp selloff wiped out nearly $1 billion in leveraged positions.
  • While traders welcomed supportive industry headlines, overall sentiment remains fragile amid ongoing market stress.
  • Despite the price rise, negative funding rates indicate traders remain bearish, suggesting the recovery is fragile in the near term.

Bitcoin climbed back over US$90,000 (AU$137,700) on Tuesday, recovering part of Monday’s sharp selloff that wiped out nearly US$1 billion (AU$1.53 billion) in leveraged positions and rattled sentiment across crypto markets.

Even shares of the Bitcoin mining company led by Eric Trump, American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), dropped hard this Tuesday, losing half its value in early trading sessions. More specifically, a 51% decline, according to data from Yahoo Finance

It seems the market is looking at supportive headlines as a sign of relief, as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins flagged plans to detail an “innovation exemption” for digital asset firms.

Meanwhile, Vanguard said it would allow ETFs and mutual funds primarily holding cryptocurrencies to trade on its platform, according to Bloomberg. 

Wintermute strategist Jasper De Maere told the publication that the move reflects both sector-specific news and crypto “catching up” with broader risk assets.

It seems to be a combination of industry specific headlines and crypto catching up to the broader market that is driving this strong price activity.

Have BTC-ETFs Turned Things Around?

Despite the sell-off pressure that rippled across the market, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw some steady gains today, reaching US$5.9 billion, a sign that institutions and retailers are still interested in exposure to the main cryptocurrency, according to The Block data. 

Despite Tuesday’s bounce, Bitcoin funding rates in perpetual futures have turned negative in recent days, according to CryptoQuant — a sign that demand for bearish exposure now outweighs interest in leveraged long positions, and that any recovery may remain fragile in the near term.

In simple words, this means that even though Bitcoin went up, traders are still nervous, and we can see that on futures markets, where more people are now shorting the crypto asset. This is because the funding rate is negative: traders who are short are getting paid by those who are long (betting on a rise).

US Dollar Index (DXY) hovers near multi-week low ahead of US PCE data

The post US Dollar Index (DXY) hovers near multi-week low ahead of US PCE data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against a basket of currencies, struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since late October and trades with a mild negative bias during the Asian session on Friday. The index is currently placed around the 99.00 mark, down less than 0.10% for the day, as traders now await the crucial US inflation data before placing fresh directional bets. The September US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index will be published later today and will be scrutinized for more cues about the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future rate-cut path. This, in turn, will play a key role in determining the next leg of a directional move for the Greenback. In the meantime, dovish US Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations overshadow Thursday’s upbeat US labor market reports and continue to act as a headwind for the buck. Recent comments from several Fed officials suggested that another interest rate cut in December is all but certain. The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicates an over 85% probability of a move next week. Furthermore, reports suggest that White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is seen as the frontrunner to become the next Fed Chair and is expected to enact US President Donald Trump’s calls for lower rates, which, in turn, favors the USD bears. Nevertheless, the DXY remains on track to register losses for the second straight week, and the fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for the index remains to the downside. Hence, any attempted recovery is more likely to get sold into and remain limited.

SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review

SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review

The post SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SSP Group stock rebounded strongly today. (Photo Illustration by Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Shares in travel food retailer SSP Group rose sharply today after the company posted solid FY25 results, highlighting good growth in two of its four regional divisions, and a decision to review its under‑performing Continental European rail business. The food and beverage (F&B) company’s stock closed 11.3% up in London on the back of a revenue rise of 7.8% (at constant currency) to £3.6 billion ($4.8 billion) in the 12 months to September. Operating profit jumped by 12.7% to £223 million ($298 million). Under statutory IFRS reporting, however, operating profit fell 58% to £86 million, which SSP said in a statement “reflected £183 million of non‑underlying expenses and impairment charges.” The decision to review its rail business in Continental Europe—the biggest of the F&B giant’s four divisions by revenue at £1,205 million ($1,607 million)—was welcomed by the market, given its weak performance of 2% like-for-like (LFL) growth. A carrot was also dangled— a reward to shareholders arising from the July IPO of SSP’s Indian joint venture Travel Food Services (TFS) with K Hospitality, India’s largest privately held F&B company. SSP Group CEO Patrick Coveney said in a statement: “We acknowledge there is more to do to strengthen our operational performance, most notably in Continental Europe, where we have now reset our team, model, and balance sheet, and have a range of initiatives underway. In addition, we are launching a wide-ranging review of our rail business in Continental Europe. We are also considering options to realise value for our shareholders in line with the delivery of the TFS free float requirement.” SSP currently retains a 50.01% stake in TFS and said: “We believe that India’s market potential, combined with TFS’s attractive…

What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures

What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures

The post What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s “Crypto for Advisors” newsletter, Gregory Mall from Lionsoul Global breaks down crypto yield, highlighting its maturity, along with its role in a portfolio. We look at why yield may ultimately become crypto’s most durable bridge to mainstream portfolios. Then, in “Ask an Expert,” Kevin Tam highlights key investments from the recent 13F filings, including the news that combined United Arab Emirates sovereign exposure hit $1.08 billion, making them the fourth-largest global holder. Yield in Digital Assets: What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures For most of its history, crypto has been defined by directional bets: buy, hold, and hope the next cycle delivers. But a quieter transformation has been unfolding beneath the surface. As the digital asset ecosystem has matured, one of its most important and misunderstood developments has been the emergence of yield: systematic, programmatic, and increasingly institutional. The story begins with infrastructure. Bitcoin introduced self-custody and scarcity; Ethereum extended that foundation with smart contracts, turning blockchains into programmable platforms capable of running financial services. Over the past five years, this architecture has given rise to a parallel, transparent credit and trading ecosystem known as decentralized finance (DeFi). While still niche relative to traditional markets, DeFi has grown from under $1 million of total value locked in 2018 to well over $100 billion at peak (DefiLlama). Even after the 2022 downturn, activity has rebounded sharply. For advisors, this expansion matters because it has unlocked something crypto rarely offered in its early years: cash-flow-based returns, not reliant on speculation. But the complexity behind those yields and the risks beneath the surface require careful navigation. Where Crypto Yield Comes From Yield in digital assets does not come from a single source but from three broad categories of market activity. 1. Trading and liquidity provision Automated market makers (AMMs)…
