Crypto started the week on a downward trend, with some tokens in the Binance Alpha sector leading the gains for the second consecutive day.

2025.12.15 09:53:47

On December 15, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $88,000 this morning, per HTX market data. Even though the Fed cut rates last week as expected and issued a more dovish signal than anticipated, the crypto market kept falling early this week—total market cap now sits at $3.13 trillion. Traders are eyeing U.S. CPI data due out this Thursday. Several tokens in Binance’s Alpha section surged: FHE, MILK, SSS, and BAS all jumped over 50% in the last 24 hours. FHE led the pack with a nearly 100% gain. In news, Mind Network said yesterday it’s integrating fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) into the Solana AI Agent ecosystem and has partnered with Pippin. Mind has already stashed 1% of Pippin’s total supply in the FHE project wallet as a long-term reserve for future community rewards and ecosystem growth. Per CoinGecko data, the meme coin sector has cooled off—total market cap is down 2.6% in the last 24 hours. Of the top 200 meme coins by market cap, only M and PIPPIN are up over the same period.

Analyst: Trump Speech Drives Soaring Oil Prices, Risk Premium Surges

Crude Oil Futures Surge on Trump’s Iran Comments (April 2) Crude oil futures prices jumped sharply on April 2, after former President Donald Trump’s remarks on the Iran situation dashed traders’ hopes for a quick resolution to the Middle East conflict. TP ICAP analyst Scott Shelton noted in a report: “Oil prices were under pressure for most of the week, but Trump’s comments sparked an overnight surge. The remarks tilted toward escalation and completing the mission, with little mention of peace negotiations.” He added that while the move may aim to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table, the oil risk premium has spiked sharply.

After the US Initial Jobless Claims data release, the probability of a 25 basis points interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in April is 2.6%.

**April 2nd Brief** U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ended March 28 hit 202,000—their lowest level since the week ending Jan. 10, 2024. The reading came in below the 212,000 consensus estimate, while the prior week’s figure was revised up from 210,000 to 211,000.
