Crypto Overview on Bitcoin’s All-Time-High Anniversary


Today is the anniversary of Bitcoin reaching the all-time-high level of $20K. That’s right, last year on December 17th, the crypto bubble reached its peak. The crypto market celebrated this anniversary by seeking what seems to be a temporary relief. Majority of cryptos including  Ripple (XRP), Ethereum (ET), and EOS (EOS) saw double-digit gains on Monday before erasing some of the gains by the end of New York’s trading session.

Besides the bubble-burst anniversary, there are other updates in the crypto industry you can celebrate.

Coinbase Updates

The U.S. based Coinbase exchange has partnered with PayPal to enable immediate, zero-fee withdrawals.

To top this off, the exchange has also added a crypto-to-crypto- trading function to its platform for its customers. This means you can expand your crypto trading portfolio without having to move your crypto assets to other exchanges who already offer this option. If you’re one of those crypto traders who’s excited about this news though, be careful because trading more frequently can also increase your risk.

Make sure you’re not double-dipping the same crypto when choosing your trading pairs either. Click here to learn about risk management.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Western Digital (WDC) Stock

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
