According to the West Midlands Police in the UK, a young couple was targeted in an apparent premeditated home burglary at their residence in Smith Wood, Birmingham. On December 13, 2025, as the couple returned home and opened the door, three men got out of a nearby vehicle and forced entry into the property, demanding the pair transfer large amounts of cryptocurrency. A fourth individual provided instructions to the attackers via video call during the incident. Police said the husband was beaten and seriously injured, while his pregnant wife at the time was also threatened with a knife. After seizing the cryptocurrency and multiple high-value watches, the attackers fled in a suspected black BMW X3. Currently, Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to ￡10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspects involved.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost published a note stating that Bitcoin is currently approaching the average cost price ranges of two major investor groups: investors who have held their BTC for 18 months to 2 years have an average cost of around $88,350, while those who have held for 6 to 12 months have an average cost of approximately $89,200. Darkfost noted that cost prices are not inherently support or resistance levels, but rather the average holding cost of a group. As prices approach this range, the behavior of relevant investors may shift, so this area should be viewed more as a potential risk zone. Notably, the group of investors who have held for 6 to 12 months have been in a loss for nearly a year, with some having bought in at market peaks. Going forward, some investors may sell to break even, while others may continue buying to lower their average holding cost. Darkfost believes both of these actions could impact Bitcoin’s current upward momentum.

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe warned that the failure to advance the CLARITY Act leaves the U.S. market exposed to ongoing systemic risks—particularly those stemming from a single entity controlling trading platforms, brokerage, and asset custody services simultaneously. Belshe noted that this business combination poses a more alarming risk than the Lehman Brothers collapse: a brokerage failure would cause localized losses, but if the same entity also operates a trading platform and holds asset custody functions, its failure could drag the entire market into crisis.

According to Forbes, Citigroup analysts have raised their 12-month Bitcoin price target from the prior $82,000 to $113,000, and projected Ethereum prices will surpass $3,000. The analysts pointed out that increasing allocations to crypto assets among investment advisors and brokerages will drive more capital into Bitcoin ETFs, forecasting that roughly $5 billion in inflows could come to Bitcoin ETFs in the near term. Currently, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs hold around $110 billion in assets under management (AUM) and approximately 1.3 million Bitcoin, with BlackRock’s IBIT holding over 800,000 of those coins. Citi noted that as institutional allocation capital continues to flow in, inflows to Bitcoin ETFs are expected to rise further.
