Solana price remained in a deep bear market this month, falling to a low of $120, its lowest level since April 25. It has plunged by over 50% from its highest point this year, shedding billions of dollars in value, despite some major catalysts.
Solana’s network is beating its key rivals
The SOL token price has been in a strong downward trend in the past few months, a move that has coincided with the ongoing crypto market crash.
It has crashed despite the chain having some major catalysts, including its rising transactions and fees.
Third-party data shows that Solana handles the most transactions, partly because of its strength in the meme coin industry. Its monthly active users (MAU) stand at 98 million, much higher than BNB Chain’s 26 million and Ethereum’s 8 million.
Solana also handles more transactions than other networks. It has handled over 34 billion transactions in the last 12 months, much higher than Ethereum’s and BNB Chain’s 516 million and 4 billion, respectively.
#Solana continues to rank first across most major blockchain metrics over a 1 year period, despite memecoin cool off.
Nansen data shows that Solana’s market share in terms of transactions has continued growing in the past few weeks, soaring to over 1.8 billion. These transactions are much more than those handled by the other large chains, combined.
Solana also made more money than other chains, with its fees soaring to $728 million, much higher than Ethereum’s and BNB’s $601 million and $260 million, respectively. Most of this growth happened in the first half of the year as the meme coin boom happened.
Meanwhile, more data shows that Solana was the most active networks in the decentralized exchange (DEX) industry. Its DEX volume in the last 12 months rose to $1.6 trillion, also much higher than the other chains.
SOL ETF inflows are rising
Solana’s network is also benefiting from the ongoing ETF demand. Data compiled by SoSoValue shows that SOL ETFs added $66.5 million in inflows last week, bringing its cumulative inflows to $742 million and its total assets rising to $946 million. These funds have had inflows in the last eight consecutive weeks.

Looking ahead, Solana is working to implement its Alpenglow upgrade, which will boost its performance. It will increase the network’s maximum throughput from 65,000 to 107,000 transactions per second (TPS).
Alpenglow will cut its consensus finality from 12.8 seconds to 100-150 milliseconds, which will be faster than a Google search.
It will also lower its validation costs by 50% and transition from a proof-of-authority to a proof-of-stake, introducing the votor and rotor systems.
The daily timeframe chart shows that the Solana token dropped from a high of $252.55 in September to the current $126.57.
SOL token formed a death cross pattern as the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) crossed each other in November.
The token has formed a bearish flag pattern, which is made up of a vertical line and an ascending channel. It has moved slightly below the lower side of this pattern.
Solana price has moved below the Supertrend indicator, a sign that the token will continue falling. Therefore, the token will drop to the key support level at $95, its lowest level in April this year. A move above the 50-day moving average at $142 will invalidate the bearish outlook.
For some of us, the holidays are lit — and we’re not talking menorahs.
Seasonal cocktails like egg nog, hot toddies and peppermint martinis shine this time of year at holiday gatherings. But don’t be surprised if you see more mocktails in the mix this year.
The sober curious movement — choosing to drink less alcohol or not drink at all — has been gaining popularity over the past few years. One survey found nearly half of participants planned to drink less in 2025, and 1 in 4 didn’t drink at all in 2024.
“It used to be if you ordered a nonalcoholic drink and you were female, people thought you were pregnant,” said dietician and cookbook author Susan Greeley, MS, RDN. “Those days are over.”
In addition to attitude, nonalcoholic drink choices — namely mocktails — have really stepped up their game in terms of creativity and quality, making them more appealing to anyone who wants something delicious to sip on.
Greeley said fresh herbs like mint, basil and rosemary; antioxidant-rich blackberries and tart cherry juice are a few ingredients that are easily incorporated into festive mocktails. Or when in doubt, go unadulterated cranberry or cranberry juice for a health boost. “Cranberries are so healthy — they’re a superfood even in juice form,” Greeley said.
If you’re curious about mocktails or serving booze-free bevvies at your holiday party, here are 3 Greeley original recipes that are cause for celebration. Cheers!

DeFi Technologies Provides Clarifying Update on Share Ownership and Depository Imbalances and Outlines Next Steps and Announces Resignation of Director
22.12.2025 / 13:35 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
TORONTO, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DeFi Technologies (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies“) (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance (“DeFi”), today provides additional disclosure regarding the share ownership and depository imbalances first disclosed in its August 12, 2025 news release (the “August NR“). This news release (the “Clarifying News Release“) was requested by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission in connection with a staff review and is intended to provide additional disclosure with respect to the August NR and the Company’s plans going forward.
The Company receives feedback from shareholders on an ongoing basis, including anecdotal information on potential trading irregularities. The Company engaged Shareholder Intelligence Services, LLC (“ShareIntel“) in June 2025 to provide shareholder data, including share ownership, purchases, sales and custody by individuals, institutions, broker-dealers, clearing agents and custodians, to enable the Company to better understand the trading, settlement, and beneficial ownership of its common shares (the “Common Shares“) and communicate findings to shareholders. The retention of ShareIntel was announced by the Company on June 20, 2025 (the “June NR“)
At the time of the August NR, the Company had received three point-in-time reports dated June 23, 2025, June 30, 2025 and July 15, 2025 respectively (the “Reports“). Such Reports indicated persistent differences between share positions reported by certain broker-dealers to intermediaries of Depository Trust Company (“DTC“), the Canadian Depository for Securities (“CDS“) and Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge“).
Given the imbalances identified in the Reports and ongoing shareholder interest in this matter, the Company issued the August NR to provide all shareholders full disclosure of the Company’s efforts to review trading irregularities. Since the August NR, the Company has received two additional point-in-time reports, which showed continued imbalances in both the United States and Canada.
To better understand, review and rectify share ownership imbalances, the Company has contacted a total of 14 broker-dealers with the highest levels of imbalances reported to intermediaries to request reconciliations and explanations for discrepancies. To date, it has received five responses, with responses primarily attributing share imbalances to settlement timing differences, inclusion of reporting to certain intermediaries but not to others, securities lending, differences in reporting inquiries to certain intermediaries and differences due to shares held in different currencies. The Company continues to await responses from the remaining broker-dealers and may issue additional inquiries to further understand imbalances in the Reports.
At this time, based on information received and reviewed to date, the Company does not believe that share ownership imbalances had any impact on the voting results at the 2025 shareholder meeting of the Company given the quantum of imbalances identified and quorum at such meeting.
Resignation of Director
The Company announces that effective immediately, Stefan Hascoet has resigned from the board of directors of the Company. Mr. Hascoet has been a director of the Company since June 2023 and has provided invaluable guidance to the Company during his tenure. The Company expresses its sincere appreciation to Mr. Hascoet for his services and contributions to the Company and wishes him continued success in all future endeavours.

Silver (XAG/USD) prolongs its recent well-established uptrend and climbs to a fresh record high, around the $69.45 area, during the Asian session. Moreover, the broader technical setup seems tilted firmly in favor of bullish traders and suggests that the path of least resistance for the white metal remains to the upside.
Against the backdrop of repeated rebounds from the 100-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) over the past two weeks or so, last week’s breakout through the $66.40-$66.50 horizontal resistance was seen as a key trigger for the XAG/USD bulls. A subsequent strength beyond the $67.20-$67.25 region last Friday validates the near-term positive outlook. The white metal currently trades around the $69.25 area, up 3% for the day.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on hourly/daily charts sits above the 70 mark, signaling stretched conditions that could prompt a pause. The 100-hour SMA climbs to $65.57, with price holding well above it, keeping the near-term trend biased upward. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stands at 0.19 in positive territory and continues to rise, suggesting strengthening bullish momentum.
Buyers would retain control while XAG/USD remains above the rising 100-period SMA, and a pullback toward $65.57 would meet dynamic support. The MACD staying positive supports the bullish tone, while an overbought RSI suggests consolidation could precede further gains. A decisive continuation above intraday highs could extend the advance, whereas failure to hold above the average would open room for a deeper retracement.
(The technical analysis of this story was written with the help of an AI tool)
(This story was corrected on December 22 at 07:36 GMT to say in the second bullet point that the overbought RSI, not overnight, on hourly/daily charts warrants caution before placing fresh bullish bets.)

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, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold’s. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold’s moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
The U.S. dollar continues to surge against the Japanese yen despite a Bank of Japan rate hike, as markets dismiss policy tightening, yen selling accelerates, and momentum remains firmly bullish with buyers pressing higher levels.
The US dollar has skyrocketed against the Japanese yen despite the fact that the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points.
This was an expected move, but the bond market in Japan really took off to the upside as yields jumped due to the Japanese suggesting that maybe they would tighten further.
This tells you that the market doesn’t appreciate what the Japanese are doing, and they are getting rid of their yen as a vote of no confidence.
There is an argument that there is an intervention zone near the 158 yen level, and that might be true, but typically speaking, that is a short-lived phenomenon. And I do think that the market is starting to call the bluff of the Bank of Japan.
Despite the fact that they raised rates, you still get paid at the end of every day to hold this pair. And the US dollar has been strengthening against most things. It’s not just the Japanese yen early in the session. The 155 yen level is a support level. The 158 yen level is a resistance area. We are hanging around in a 300-point range, but this candlestick on Friday is no joke.
Momentum Signals Buyers Are in Control
And it does suggest that perhaps we have further upside to go. I think momentum in and of itself is an obvious thing, and I have no interest whatsoever in shorting this pair. If the market were to break down below the 155 yen level and perhaps the 50-day EMA, then we could fall to the 153 yen level, but the size of the candlestick tells me that the buyers are here to stay. This is a big move right in the face of the Bank of Japan.

According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (NIHODS), vitamin D, also known as calciferol, is a fat-soluble nutrient naturally found in a limited number of foods, such as egg yolks, beef liver, and fatty fish. Vitamin D is also added to other foods, such as milk and breakfast cereals, and is widely available in dietary supplements.1,2
Vitamin D exists in 2 forms1,2:
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is the naturally occurring form of vitamin D that is synthesized in the skin from endogenous or dietary cholesterol upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation (sunlight).
Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is a plant-derived form used as a food additive.
The 2 forms only differ chemically in their side-chain structures, and both are well absorbed in the small intestine. The NIHODS notes that absorption occurs by simple passive diffusion and by a mechanism that involves intestinal membrane carrier proteins.1,2
Research has established that vitamin D plays a critical role in calcium absorption and bone health.1,2 It facilitates intestinal uptake of calcium and phosphate, helping maintain serum concentrations necessary for bone mineralization and preventing hypocalcemic tetany, which is an involuntary contraction of muscles, causing cramps and spasms.1,2 Vitamin D is essential for bone growth and remodeling through its regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast activity, and research indicates that deficiency can manifest in skeletal disorders such as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, whereas adequate levels, especially when combined with calcium, can diminish the risk of osteoporosis in older adults.1,2
Beyond its skeletal functions, research has shown that vitamin D contributes to immune support, maintenance of neuromuscular function, inflammation control, cell growth modulation, and blood pressure regulation. It may also decrease the risk of multiple sclerosis and depression and improve glucose metabolism in individuals with diabetes, thus highlighting its multifaceted roles in overall health and well-being. However, results have been variable and additional research is warranted.1,2
Certain patient populations are more likely than others to have inadequate vitamin D levels. These include older adults, individuals with gastrointestinal disorders that impair absorption (eg, chronic pancreatitis), those with insufficient sun exposure, people with dark skin pigmentation, individuals with hereditary disorders affecting vitamin D metabolism, those with conditions that limit fat absorption, individuals with obesity or a history of gastric bypass, and patients receiving long-term antiseizure therapy (eg, phenytoin or carbamazepine).1,2
Vitamin D Supplements
According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, most people in the United States consume less than the recommended amounts of vitamin D.1 The CDC indicates that in 2023, approximately 18.5% of US adults reported taking vitamin D supplements. Despite this, nearly two-thirds of Americans have suboptimal vitamin D levels, with an estimated 2.6% having severe deficiency and 22% with moderate deficiency. These figures highlight a significant gap between supplement use and vitamin D sufficiency across the population.3
Several vitamin D supplements are available as single-entity products. Some products contain a combination of vitamin D and calcium, and vitamin D is typically found in multivitamin supplement products available in various strengths and dosage forms, including capsules, soft gels, tablets, liquids, gummies, and sublingual tablets, to meet the specific needs of various patient populations. Most OTC vitamin D supplements contain D3.
Recent News and Clinical Data
In 2025 study findings published in Medical Sciences, researchers aimed to examine the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the presence of long COVID symptoms. Results revealed that individuals with lower vitamin D levels were more likely to experience persistent post–COVID-19 signs and symptoms, suggesting a potential role for vitamin D in mitigating the risk and severity of long COVID symptoms.4
In study findings published in Nutrition Reviews, researchers assessed the impact of vitamin D2 supplementation on serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations by analyzing data from randomized controlled trials. Researchers discovered that vitamin D2 supplementation was associated with a significant reduction in 25(OH)D3 levels, often lower than those observed in control groups not receiving vitamin D2.5 The findings suggest that vitamin D3 supplementation may be more beneficial for patients, although personal preferences and considerations should be taken into account.5
Study findings published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition presented findings from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled VITAL trial (NCT01169259). Results revealed that vitamin D supplementation helps maintain telomeres, protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten during aging and are correlated with the development of certain diseases. The researchers indicated that compared with placebo, vitamin D3 supplementation significantly reduced telomere shortening over 4 years, preventing the equivalent of nearly 3 years of aging. However, ω-3 fatty acid supplementation had no significant effect on telomere length throughout follow-up.6
Findings of a meta-analysis published in Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome found that vitamin D supplementation significantly improves cardiometabolic markers, including blood pressure, cholesterol, insulin sensitivity, and blood glucose levels. The researchers indicated that the most significant benefits were observed in older adults, individuals with low baseline vitamin D, and non-Western populations, and these findings support the potential role of vitamin D in promoting cardiovascular and metabolic health.7
Conclusion
Pharmacists play a critical role in identifying patients at risk for vitamin D deficiency, contraindications, and potential drug-nutrient interactions. Because vitamin D supplements can interact with medications such as corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, and some diuretics, potentially affecting drug metabolism, calcium levels, or vitamin D absorption, patients should consult their health care provider before use.2
Before recommending supplementation, patients with suspected nutritional deficiencies should be referred to their primary physician for appropriate evaluation, additional treatment, and medical monitoring. During counseling, pharmacists should emphasize adherence to recommended dosages unless otherwise directed by a provider. Patients should be advised to check supplement labels to avoid excessive intake. Although rare, vitamin D toxicity can cause symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, and muscle pain and may lead to serious complications such as hypercalcemia, kidney stones, or renal failure.2
The current upper limit for vitamin D for adults and children 9 years or older is 4000 IU (100 μg), and patients should be encouraged to discuss their individual vitamin D needs with their health care provider before taking these supplements, because needs may vary based on age, health status, and lifestyle factors.2,8 Patients with underlying health conditions or those taking medications that may interact with vitamin D should consult their provider before initiating supplementation.

Once the necessary upgrades are made, a single tap on the “Complete Combo” button unlocks the reward.

Player Behavior and Daily Habits

Risks and Responsible Play

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) rose in its latest intraday trading, as the stock attempts to relieve part of its clear oversold condition on the RSI indicators, especially with the emergence of positive signals. However, negative pressure remains in place due to trading below its previous 50-day SMA, which reinforces the stability and dominance of the short-term descending corrective trend, particularly with price action moving alongside a supporting trendline.
High-risk warning: HOOD belongs to a group of stocks commonly known as “meme stocks,” which are characterized by heavy speculative activity. As a result, the stock’s price movement often deviates from technical expectations or fundamental analysis, and can at times be sudden and unpredictable.
Therefore we expect the stock to decline in its upcoming trading, especially as long as it remains below the resistance level at $125.60, targeting the pivotal support level at $102.10.
Buy EUR/USD from the support level of 1.1630 with a target of 1.1820 and a stop-loss at 1.1560.
Sell EUR/USD from the resistance level of 1.1810 with a target of 1.1500 and a stop-loss at 1.1900.
Technical Analysis of EUR/USD Today:
The EUR/USD continues to trade within a rebound zone despite recent selling pressure. The pair closed last week stable around the 1.1707 level after bulls failed to capitalize on a test of the 1.1800 psychological resistance. This followed market reactions to policy announcements from both the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Federal Reserve, alongside a batch of US economic releases that had been delayed by the longest government shutdown in US history.
According to reliable trading platforms, the EUR/USD will remain supported as long as bulls can push toward the 1.1800 resistance again. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently reading around 59, supporting a bullish outlook while awaiting strong positive momentum to confirm the upward trend. Quiet and limited movement is expected as the annual holiday season approaches. Conversely, a bearish scenario on the daily chart would require a return to the 1.1500 support area. No major economic data is expected today from either the Eurozone or the US; therefore, the pair will move based on recent drivers amid low liquidity and reduced risk appetite ahead of the holidays.
The Impact of Inflation Figures on the US Dollar
According to recent Forex market data, the US Dollar retreated after US inflation was announced at 2.7% year-on-year for November, down from 3% in October. this decline contradicted analyst expectations, which had predicted an increase to 3.1%. This suggests the Federal Reserve will feel more comfortable cutting US interest rates again in the coming months.
Influenced by the data release, the US dollar index, which measures the dollar’s performance against other major currencies, fell to 98.20. The euro rose against the dollar to a high of 1.1750, while the British pound also reached a high of 1.3440.
According to the official announcement, the core inflation rate of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 2.6% from 3.0% in October, a level that was expected to remain unchanged last month. Economists are treating lower-than-expected inflation with some skepticism, which may explain the dollar’s recovery from some of its earlier losses. Fawad Razaqzadeh, an analyst at City Index, commented that there was some skepticism surrounding this particular inflation report, given the impact of the government shutdown on data collection. He added, “Therefore, it might be best for markets not to overreact to one month’s data and to wait for the December report, which is due in January.” However, markets are accepting today’s figures as they are, buying stocks and selling “safe havens” as investors grow more confident that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates further.
Meanhwile, the Federal Reserve remains committed to a sustainable 2.0% inflation target while protecting the labor market. If the Fed believes inflation is under control, it will lower rates to support businesses and households. Typically, Expectations of lower rates lead to a weaker US Dollar.
Trading Advice:
Traders advise monitoring the EUR/USD’s rise toward the 1.18 resistance to consider potential sell positions, provided risk management is strictly applied.
