PANews reported on December 23 that, according to a Binance announcement, the platform will launch 0626 quarterly delivery contracts for assets such as BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, and SOL after 08:00 (UTC) on December 26, 2025. These contracts will cover USDⓈ-M and COIN-M contract types, with a maximum leverage of 50x. The new contracts will be launched within hours after the existing 0926 quarterly contracts expire and settle.

PANews reported on December 31 that Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, wrote on the X platform: "Typically, during these last holiday trading sessions, many institutional investors exit the market, and algorithmic trading programs and bot trading programs begin to dominate the market, along with sell-offs for tax avoidance. These constitute the market dynamics in the last few days of December." Previously, in BitMine's announcement of acquiring 44,463 ETH last week, Tom Lee mentioned that market activity tends to slow down as the year enters its final weeks of holiday season. Year-end tax-avoidance selling depresses cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related stock prices, with this effect typically most pronounced between December 26th and December 30th; therefore, they are adjusting their market strategy accordingly. Earlier today, it was reported that Bitmine pledged another 118,944 ETH and increased its holdings by 32,938 ETH .
