Solana DEX, Bitcoin Statue & Crypto Market Surges 2025

Coinbase enables native Solana DEX trading, boosting adoption and decentralized finance use across global blockchain networks.

NYSE unveils Satoshi statue, marking Bitcoin’s shift from outsider skepticism to institutional acceptance and mainstream recognition.

Crypto shows volatility as ETH, LUNA, and altcoins rally, while Bitcoin drops below $90K despite S&P 500 gains and Fed rate cuts.

The crypto market is witnessing rapid innovation and shifting market dynamics according to Santiment. At Solana Breakpoint 2025 in Abu Dhabi, Coinbase announced native DEX trading for all Solana tokens. This allows users to trade without waiting for official listings

Solana co-founder Raj Gokal called the development “a new era where DEX execution rivals centralized exchanges.” The event brought together builders, investors, and industry leaders excited about expanding decentralized finance and real-world blockchain uses. Because of this, Solana’s network is gaining more trust and recognition across the crypto community.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s cultural recognition also hit Wall Street. The New York Stock Exchange unveiled a statue of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, installed by Jack Mallers’ Twenty One Capital. Created by artist Valentina Picozzi, the piece symbolizes crypto’s growing influence on traditional finance

The statue shows that Bitcoin is moving from being doubted by outsiders to being accepted by big institutions. It also reflects how new blockchain innovations are starting to mix with traditional financial systems.

Crypto Volatility and Market Trends

ETH, PEPE, TRX, and LUNA all saw increases in trading activity due to increased community involvement. Sui Network outperformed chains like TRX, ADA, and AVAX with a 24-hour volume of $780 million. Also, Do Kwon of Terra yesterday faced imprisonment in the United States, causing erratic rallies in LUNA and LUNC tokens.

Santiment further confirmed that there were strong inflows into ETFs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, indicating institutional interest. Additionally, traders saw strategic staking across altcoins and community-driven pumps, which point to the growing importance of decentralized markets.

Stacks ($STX) also captured attention through new builder challenges and zero-fee USDC trading pairs launched on December 11. Market watchers debated $STX versus $WDC as potential S&P 500 winners. Sandisk led gains with 547%, highlighting technology and crypto-adjacent stocks’ momentum

Meanwhile, State Street and Galaxy Digital announced SWEEP, a tokenized liquidity fund using PYUSD on Solana, backed by $200 million from Ondo Finance. This fund is expected to allow 24/7 on-chain subscriptions, attracting institutional investors to DeFi markets.

Notably, the Fed’s 25 basis point interest rate drop caused the S&P 500 to soar above 6,900. Lower rates promote risk-taking in stocks and lower borrowing costs. The trajectory of cryptocurrency values, however, was different. Despite optimistic hopes, Bitcoin momentarily dropped below $90,000
