Ethereum led the outflows with $555 million withdrawn. Bitcoin followed with $460 million in outflows. Solana saw inflows of $48.5 million, while XRP gained $62.9 million. The US drove most of the negative flow. Outflows there reached $990 million. Canada offset some with $46.2 million in inflows. Germany added $15.6 million. Assets under management now stand at $46.7 billion, below below last year’s $48.7 billion. Year-to-date inflows for Bitcoin hit $27.2 billion. That’s down from $41.6 billion in 2024. Ethereum’s year-to-date inflows are $12.7 billion, up from $5.3 billion last year.

The crypto asset management giant Grayscale is expecting a 1,000x jump in one crypto subsector amid “structural shifts in digital asset investing.” In a new research report, Grayscale targets tokenized assets, or the practice of placing real-world assets like equities, real estate, or commodities on the blockchain for more accessible and efficient trading. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); var didna = window.didna || {}; didna.cmd = didna.cmd || []; var didna_counter = window.didna_counter || 0; didna.cmd.push(function(){ var spot = document.querySelector(".didna-ad-slot5"); var id = "didna_slot5" + didna_counter; spot.id = id; spot.classList.remove("didna-ad-slot5"); didna.createAdUnits({"id": id, "adUnitPath": "/170737076,21807346590/display/TheDailyHodl/dailyhodl.com", "size": [728, 90], "sizeMap": [[[728, 0], [[728, 90], [468, 60]]],[[468, 0], [468, 60]],[[320, 0], [[320, 50], [320, 100]]]]}); didna_counter++; }); --> The firm says that the asset class has the potential to grow by 1,000x, and that the coins set to benefit from the “enormous” potential growth include layer one chains Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), and decentralized oracle service Chainlink (LINK). “Tokenized assets are tiny today: just 0.01% of global equity and bond market capitalization (Exhibit 11). Grayscale expects rapid growth in asset tokenization over the coming years, facilitated by more mature blockchain technology and improved regulatory clarity. By 2030, it would not be surprising to see tokenized assets grow by ~1,000x, in our view. This growth will likely drive value to the blockchains that process transactions in tokenized assets, as well as a variety of supporting applications. The leading blockchains for tokenized assets today[6] are Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain (BNB), and Solana (SOL), although this list will likely evolve over time. In terms of supporting applications, Chainlink (LINK) looks especially well placed, given its unique suite of software technologies.” Source: Grayscale Read the full report here.

COINOTAG News, citing HyperInsight, reports that the Ethereum long position linked to Huang Licheng’s address has trimmed its floating loss to about $330,000 as of December 27. The trade holds 8,100 ETH with 25x leverage, entered near $2,972.03 per ETH, with a liquidation price around $2,874.14.

Today, the same participant added a separate HYPE long at 10x leverage, with a position size of $230,000. The position is showing a current floating loss near $1,000, underscoring how multiple leverage layers can shape portfolio risk in the evolving crypto landscape. The move reflects a measured approach to capital deployment amid ongoing liquidity shifts.

Ripple Labs is doubling down on its presence in Japan, drawing on longstanding relationships with the countrys traditional financial institutions. The strategy is aimed at increasing adoption and interest in the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This week, Asia Web3 Alliance Japan and Web3 Salon launched the Japan Financial Infrastructure Innovation Program. The initiative is designed to support Japanese startups developing next-generation, compliant digital financial solutions on the XRP Ledger. Ripples Japan Strategy Tests Whether Institutions Can Lift XRP The program opened applications on December 19 and is offering a $10,000 grant per startup. It is narrowly focused on three high-value verticals, including stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and credit infrastructure. Japan offers an overwhelming opportunity for blockchain innovation, supported by a forward-thinking regulatory framework and deep talent pool. This program represents Ripples commitment to fostering a vibrant ecosystem where startups can leverage the speed, low cost, and reliability of the XRP Ledger to create real-world benefits and transform financial infrastructure, Christina Chan, Senior Director of Developer Growth at RippleX, said. Analysts view it as a low-cost funnel for identifying candidates for Ripples significantly larger capital pool, including the 1 billion XRP fund dedicated to developers in Japan and Korea. The program has secured backing from a formidable roster of establishment players, including Mizuho Bank, SMBC Nikko Securities, and Securitize Japan. @AWAJ_official and @Web3Salon, with support from #JETRO and @RippleXrpie, are proud to announce the Japan Financial Infrastructure Innovation Program (JFIIP) 🇯🇵 during the Japan Fintech Week🗓 Dec 19, 2025 Jan 18, 2026👉 Apply here: https://t.co/kW1uq9uu6P#FinTech #XRPL pic.twitter.com/5cBox776PD Asia Web3 Alliance Japan (AWAJ) (@AWAJ_official) December 24, 2025 Despite the initiatives high-profile corporate backing, it comes at a precarious moment for the network. While Ripple touts institutional adoption, the underlying usage of the XRPL tells a conflicting story of contraction. According to data from DefiLlama, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on the XRPL has plummeted in recent months. The TVL has fallen from a July high of $120 million to roughly $62 million as of press time. This nearly 50% drawdown suggests that capital is exiting the networks DeFi protocols even as corporate partnerships expand. Meanwhile, the broader crypto market downturn likely contributed to the drawdown, as Bitcoin has fallen 30% from its October high of more than $126,000. Furthermore, the push into asset tokenization faces stiff competition. According to Rwa.xyz, XRPL currently ranks ninth globally in tokenized assets, with approximately $213 million in assets. While substantial, this lags significantly behind networks like Ethereum and newer competitors that have captured the lions share of the RWA market. Considering this, the JFIIP program is more than a startup accelerator. By entrenching itself in Japans banking infrastructure, Ripple hopes to create a sticky ecosystem that is immune to the speculative volatility of the broader crypto market.
