🚨 Crypto Today — Dec 19, 2025 🚨 • Bitcoin (BTC) is trading weakly near ~US $85,000–$87,000, pulled down again after failing to sustain a break above key resistance levels — part of continued choppy price action. The Economic Times • Ethereum (ETH) and other major altcoins are also under pressure as broader risk-off sentiment grips markets. Barron's • Crypto ETF flows are mixed: spot BTC ETFs saw renewed inflows, but ETH and some altcoin funds continue to see outflows, adding to uneven performance across tokens. FXStreet • Macro focus — Bank of Japan (BoJ): Markets are nervously pricing in a BoJ rate decision today, with a likely rate hike seen as a potential catalyst for further pressure on risk assets, including crypto. The Economic Times +1 • Sector developments:  • Stablecoin news: SoFi launched a new fully reserved stablecoin (SoFiUSD), a move toward wider regulated crypto infrastructure. Investors.com  • Regional insights: Binance’s APAC head emphasized that regulatory clarity is key to adoption, especially in markets like India. The Economic Times • Industry outlook: Despite 2025’s regulatory wins in the U.S., key crypto legislative progress has stalled in the Senate, clouding near-term policy clarity. Reuters Quick Take: Crypto markets remain volatile and risk-off today. BTC and ETH are under selling pressure as traders await major macro signals, especially the BoJ rate decision — a rare divergence in global monetary policy that could sway risk sentiment further. Mixed ETF flows and broader regulatory uncertainty keep the mood cautious. Watch the $84K–$88K range for BTC support and macro catalysts for any breakout direction. #CryptoNews #BTC #ETH #ETF #BoJ #RiskOff #Volatility
