🧨 Stocks Are Up, Crypto Slumped, and 24/7 Trading Is Coming

December 18, 2025 | Market Mood: Jumpy and brittle 😨

The stock market might finally catch up to crypto’s favorite feature: 24/7 action.

Nasdaq just submitted a request to the SEC to allow round-the-clock trading for select stocks, starting with the boring ones: big ETFs like QQQ and SPY.

If approved, it could mark the beginning of a new era where stocks never sleep, and crypto might lose one of its last unique advantages.

🧠 Why it matters:
24/7 trading means tighter integration between crypto and stocks, more overlap in volatility, and fewer excuses for weekend price chaos.

💀 📊 This Week in Chaos

📉 BTC Slips Below $86K Despite Fed Cut

The Fed finally cut rates, equities cheered, and Bitcoin did the opposite. BTC slid back under $86,000 as traders questioned whether the “pivot” actually changes liquidity conditions.

🧨 Critical Web3 Bug Can Drain Your Wallet

Researchers disclosed a front-end exploit impacting thousands of sites, allowing attackers to drain user tokens without touching the protocol.
👉 Self-custody still assumes competent code.

🐋 $27M Whale Multisig Drained

A whale wallet lost $27M after a private key compromise allowed attackers to push malicious approvals through a multisig setup.
👉 Multisig ≠ immunity.

🏦 Fed Quietly Rolls Back Crypto Banking Limits

The Federal Reserve revised its supervision framework, removing crypto-specific restrictions and returning to case-by-case oversight for banks.
👉 TradFi doors cracking open again.

📊 $17T “Missing” Under Proof-of-Reserve Logic

Applying on-chain proof-of-reserve standards to Trump-era tariff data shows roughly $17–18 trillion unaccounted for, highlighting opacity rather than explicit wrongdoing.
👉 Transparency hits different when math is unforgiving.

🧪 Poll of the Week

The Fed just rolled back crypto banking restrictions, officially signaling the end of “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

But is this the real deal… or just a rebrand with better PR? What do you think happens next?

🔮 What to Watch Next Week

🧾 Sui ETF Decision (Dec 21): The deadline’s here. If it’s approved, expect fresh institutional flows. If it’s delayed? Snooze.

⚖️ CFTC Spot Trading Rollout: No official date, but the CLARITY Act is pushing things forward. Spot crypto trading with actual rules is creeping closer, just don’t expect fireworks yet

📉 Leverage Still Fragile: After ~$541M in liquidations, Binance and Hyperliquid are still carrying risk-heavy longs. One wrong candle, and we’re back on liquidation watch.

🧱 ETH Post-Fusaka Activity: More blobs, less congestion. Fusaka upgrade is live — now watch L2 volumes to see if the upgrade actually changes anything. So far? BTC still doing sleepy sideways.

🏦 TradFi x Crypto Signals: Bank custody approvals and tokenized deposits keep advancing quietly. Real adoption moves slow and off headlines.

⚠️ Risk Check: Holiday liquidity is thin. Sentiment’s brittle. If BTC even flinches toward $80K, we could get a full-blown weekend waterfall.
