ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, European cryptocurrency investment firm CoinShares released its outlook for the crypto industry in 2025 on December 11, highlighting the profound impact of political shifts in the U.S., the development of Solana, and XRP.The report states that one major trend for 2025 is Bitcoin yield solutions, allowing users to gain additional value through holding BTC. This trend reflects a broader recognition that Bitcoin is not only a store of value but also a means of generating income. An important indicator of increased Bitcoin reserves in 2025 will be the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency payments globally.CoinShares identified three main types of Bitcoin yields. The first is the growth of Bitcoin holdings relative to company stocks; the second is yield mining, which generates income by lending out Bitcoin; the third strategy is to create income from Bitcoin reserves using derivatives.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has retreated after hitting an all-time high, with some traders seeking to hedge against deeper pullback risks after the original cryptocurrency surged above $100,000 for the first time. According to data from Amberdata, which tracks digital asset market data, the largest open interest in put options was for strike prices of $95,000 and $100,000 in the past 24 hours, with increased demand for put options in the $75,000 and $70,000 range as well.Luke Nolan, a research assistant at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, stated, "When we break it down by expiration date, we can see that the open interest in put options is mainly concentrated at the end of December and the end of January next year, with some in the end of February next year, which logically makes sense to hedge against any pullback or unexpected situation that may arise from this significant surge."

This would give Bitcoin a status similar to that of gold." The report noted that after gaining recognized status in national reserves, Bitcoin would also achieve greater legitimacy.CoinShares pointed out that Trump has consistently criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its chairman Gary Gensler, particularly regarding the agency's stance on cryptocurrencies.
