Solana is trading around $126 after a volatile December, with price moving in a corrective downtrend while a $140–$145 resistance band caps the upside. Anthony Scaramucci has outlined a 5–10 year vision in which SOL could climb to $2,500, based on expectations for large-scale tokenization and clearer US regulation. Technical indicators show SOL consolidating between $121–$122 support and $130–$133 resistance, leaving traders watching $133.80–$140 for signs of a breakout.

Cardano's Midnight (NIGHT) saw trading activity surge over the last 24 hours, with volume up more than 68% to $3.53 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

On Saturday, Dec. 20, XRP saw an hourly derivatives liquidation of $1,250,000 that fell entirely on short positions, with long traders avoiding any forced closures. Following a drop to $1.8 on Dec. 18, the token has rebounded to $1.95 as ETF-related inflows and a broader market recovery underpin renewed bullish momentum.

Chainlink held the $12 area after a large token unlock from a non-circulating supply wallet. Despite heavy exchange inflows, buyers stepped in and halted a breakdown, with price hovering near $12.5 on the daily chart. Short-term momentum improved as dip-buying lifted demand at key support.

XRP is trading near $1.94 after a sharp decline to its lowest level since April, with buyers defending the $1.85 area and eyeing resistance around $2.00 and above. The token, valued at roughly $118 bn with daily volume near $2.9 bn, remains inside a descending channel that defines key levels at $2.17 on the upside and $1.77 on the downside. A clear move above $2.00 could signal a shift toward higher targets, while failure there leaves the door open for another pullback to lower supports.

VanEck has filed another amended registration for an Avalanche-linked exchange-traded fund in the United States, detailing a structure that would allow staking of a substantial share of its AVAX holdings. The proposed ETF, which aims to list on Nasdaq under the ticker VAVX, would combine spot exposure to AVAX with on-chain rewards managed by Coinbase Crypto Services and charge a 0.30% management fee. The multiple amendments highlight ongoing regulatory discussions and could set a precedent for staking-enabled ETFs tied to other proof-of-stake networks if approved.

On December 20, 2025, on-chain analyst Ali Martinez cautioned that XRP's support weakens below $1.77, raising the odds of a corrective move toward $0.79.

At press time, XRP traded at $1.95, up 4.5% day-on-day but down over 4% week-on-week.
