PANews reported on December 10th, citing Cryptobriefing, that Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, believes Bitcoin is entering a phase where institutional adoption may prevent a significant price drop. In a recent interview with "Mornings with Maria," she stated, "Bitcoin's role as a risk-averse asset may break its historical four-year boom-and-bust cycle, where it often experienced 75% to 90% drops in its early stages. Its volatility is decreasing, currently down by about 30%. While Bitcoin has acted as a safe-haven asset during past crises, including the European sovereign debt crisis and the US regional banking crisis, it is now exhibiting characteristics of a risk-averse asset. There are concerns about Bitcoin's four-year cycle pattern, but institutional participation in this asset class may prevent further declines. Bitcoin's price may have bottomed out a few weeks ago." Bitcoin has fallen 20% in the past three months, while gold prices have climbed nearly 60% this year. Wood predicts this trend may reverse next year, with gold prices potentially falling and Bitcoin poised to rise. Wood stated, "Gold is now more of a safe-haven asset, and its rise reflects the anxieties we face, with investors using it to hedge against geopolitical risks. Looking back to the early 1980s and late 1990s, as we entered a true golden age of innovation, ending with the internet age, gold prices steadily declined. We believe the same scenario may unfold again today, with Bitcoin continuing to act as a risk-averse asset and regaining momentum."PANews reported on December 10th, citing Cryptobriefing, that Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, believes Bitcoin is entering a phase where institutional adoption may prevent a significant price drop.

XAG/USD refreshes record high, around $61.00
The post XAG/USD refreshes record high, around $61.00 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver (XAG/USD) enters a bullish consolidation phase during the Asian session and oscillates in a narrow range near the all-time peak, around the $61.00 neighborhood, touched this Wednesday. Meanwhile, the broader technical setup suggests that the path of least resistance for the white metal remains to the upside. The overnight breakout through the monthly trading range hurdle, around the $58.80-$58.85 region, was seen as a fresh trigger for the XAG/USD bulls. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flashing overbought conditions on 4-hour/daily charts, which, in turn, is holding back traders from placing fresh bullish bets. Hence, it will be prudent to wait for some near-term consolidation or a modest pullback before positioning for a further appreciating move. Meanwhile, any corrective slide below the $60.30-$60.20 immediate support could attract fresh buyers and find decent support near the $60.00 psychological mark. A convincing break below the said handle, however, might prompt some long-unwinding and drag the XAG/USD towards the trading range resistance breakpoint, around the $58.80-$58.85 region. The latter should act as a key pivotal point, which, if broken, could pave the way for further losses. On the flip side, momentum above the $61.00 mark will reaffirm the near-term constructive outlook and set the stage for an extension of the XAG/USD’s recent strong move up from the vicinity of mid-$45.00s, or late October swing low. Silver 4-hour chart Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds,…

Tokenized Assets Shift From Wrappers to Building Blocks in DeFi
The post Tokenized Assets Shift From Wrappers to Building Blocks in DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RWAs are rapidly moving on-chain, unlocking new opportunities for investors and DeFi protocols, according to a new report from Dune and RWAxyz. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are moving beyond digital versions of traditional securities to become key building blocks of decentralized finance (DeFi), according to the 2025 RWA Report from Dune and RWAxyz. The report notes that Treasuries, bonds, credit, and equities are now being used in DeFi as collateral, trading instruments, and yield products. This marks tokenization’s “real breakthrough” – composability, or the ability to combine and reuse assets across different protocols. Projects are already showing how this works in practice. Asset manager Maple Finance’s syrupUSDC, for example, has grown to $2.5 billion, with more than 30% placed in DeFi apps like Spark ($570 million). Centrifuge’s new deJAAA token, a wrapper for Janus Henderson’s AAA CLO fund, is already trading on Aerodrome, Coinbase and other exchanges, with Stellar planned next. Meanwhile, Aave’s Horizon RWA Market now lets institutional users post tokenized Treasuries and CLOs as collateral. This trend underscores a bigger shift: RWAs are no longer just copies of traditional assets; instead, they are becoming core parts of on-chain finance, powering lending, liquidity, and yield, and helping to close the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi. “RWAs have crossed the chasm from experimentation to execution,” Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance, says in the report. “Our growth to $3.5B AUM reflects a broader shift: traditional financial services are adopting crypto assets while institutions seek exposure to on-chain markets.” Investor demand for higher returns and more diversified options is mainly driving this growth. Tokenized Treasuries proved there is strong demand, with $7.3 billion issued by September 2025 – up 85% year-to-date. The growth was led by BlackRock, WisdomTree, Ondo, and Centrifuge’s JTRSY (Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund). Spark’s $1…
