Today’s Fear & Greed Index stands at 23 (Extreme Fear), down from 24 yesterday, but above 17 last week and 20 last month. The lack of sentiment, persistent selling pressure, uncertainty in regulation, and macroeconomic issues continue to keep investors on their toes. There is a slight reduction in fear than the panic levels of last week.
(Note: All of these updates affect traders, as they affect liquidity, sentiment, and potential returns, and thus have to be monitored closely.)
1. DAC8 Crypto Tax Rules of the EU start in 2026.
DAC8 will be enforced by the EU on January 1, 2026, and crypto companies will have to provide information about users and transactions to tax authorities, and compliance systems must be implemented by July 1.
2. False Press Release by Fake "CircleMetals" Outed.
Circle refused to open what it called a fake press release that it had launched a product called CircleMetals. The release misused branding, quoted executives falsely, and mentioned gold and silver tokens that do not exist.
3. Scroll Clarifies DAO Status Amid Shutdown Rumors
Scroll clarified that its DAO is not shutting down. Governance continues during restructuring, a Galileo upgrade proposal has passed, and a full 2026 governance plan arrives in January.
4. U.S. Jobless Claims Fall below forecasts
U.S. jobless claims dropped to 214,000, beating expectations and signaling labor market strength, easing hopes of early Fed rate cuts while creating short-term pressure on crypto markets.
5. Binance Alpha Unibase Airdrop Goes Live
Binance Alpha opens a new airdrop at 21:00 today, offering 1,000 Unibase tokens to users with 226 points, first-come, with thresholds dropping if undistributed, and claiming costs fifteen Alpha points.
6. Brevis Reveals BREV Tokenomics
Brevis unveiled its BREV token with a one billion supply, allocating 37% to ecosystem growth, 32.2% to community incentives, while team and investors face a one-year lockup followed by vesting.
The index of 23 today is slightly higher than the deeper level of fear of last week, which was 17. Nevertheless, market capitalization and activity in DeFi are still low, indicating consolidation and not a robust recovery in all crypto assets.
The users of crypto are supposed to experience some short-term volatility because of the weak sentiment, regulatory changes, and macroeconomic data. Although there are selective opportunities on trending and high-volume tokens, the risk is still high, so diversification of the portfolio and the time of entry are crucial factors for traders and investors.
Risk Context
This commentary is only informational and not for long-term conditions. It does not indicate the direction of the price or indicate an action to be taken on the investment.
As per the 24-hour crypto market update, the sentiment remains risky but selectively beneficial. Extreme fear often signals accumulation zones, yet uncertainty is high. Long-term investors may cautiously accumulate strong assets, while short-term traders should remain defensive, prioritize risk management, and avoid overexposure during volatile market conditions.
