Overview
Dec. 26 coverage framed a quiet, post-Christmas crypto tape—mostly flat to slightly down—as thin holiday conditions coincided with bitcoin slipping below $87,000 and a modest dip in total crypto market cap. In parallel, metals were portrayed as the relative winner, with gold, silver, platinum and copper hitting new records as capital rotated toward a debasement/geopolitical-tension narrative rather than bitcoin.
