glassnode: Over 25% of the Bitcoin supply is in unrealized profit, with Bitcoin's current price remaining highly sensitive to macroeconomic impacts
On December 5, Glassnode noted in a post that Bitcoin has traded below its 0.75 fractile since mid-November—meaning over 25% of its supply is in a loss position.
This places the market in a fragile balance: on one hand, there’s risk of stop-losses or capitulation from high-level buyers; on the other, potential for seller exhaustion and the formation of a phase bottom.
Around $93k, Bitcoin’s price remains highly sensitive to macro factors until it reclaims the 0.75 fractile (≈$95.8k) and further recovers the 0.85 fractile (≈$106.2k).

Mario Nawfal revealed that SBF had assisted the former President of Honduras with trial preparation, who has since been pardoned by Donald Trump.
**December 4th**
Mario Nawfal, founder and CEO of Dubai-based venture capital firm IBC Group, said in a social media post that during a conversation with SBF (about FTX’s bankruptcy—an interview is coming soon), SBF revealed an unexpected detail: his former cellblock mate, ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, was just pardoned by Trump.
