At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $88.269,03, up 1,5% on the day, still amid volatility and a struggle for key technical levels. The most recent movement gained traction after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in better than expected. Even so, BTC's reaction was limited and opened space for firmer behavior in several altcoins, which began to trade in positive territory.

The rejection drove bitcoin to a multi-month low of $84.500, reinforcing the defensive tone in the short term. On Friday, there was another attempt at recovery, returning to the $89.500 region, but without continuity. Even so, BTC managed to stay above $88.000, accumulating a 2,5% drop for the week, with a market capitalization above $1,75 trillion and a dominance of 57,3%. Meanwhile, altcoins gained prominence. Ethereum fell below $2.900 at the beginning of the week, recovered to that level, and is now approaching $3.000.

Cardano is moving beyond a single‑chain paradigm. At the center of this vision are interchains, which connect Cardano to a multi-chain future. This is important as the Cardano Vision research program, a five-year strategic agenda, coordinates 34 long-term research streams across nine thematic areas, including interchains. As blockchain ecosystems mature and diversify, the ability to transfer assets, data and computation across chains without compromising security has become essential, hence the need for interchains. Cardano is moving beyond a single‑chain paradigm.Trustless BTC bridges, partner chains, privacy services, new economic models, the latest RD Session shows how #Cardano is positioning itself at the center of a multi‑chain internet of blockchains.➡️ Catch the full breakdown:…— Input Output Group (@IOGroup) December 19, 2025 Interchains are anticipated to shift Cardano beyond a single-network paradigm, laying the groundwork for a blockchain ecosystem where assets can move freely, applications can consume data and functionality from multiple networks and partner chains can extend Cardano’s capabilities without diluting its security model. If Ouroboros defines how Cardano reaches consensus, interoperability defines where that consensus connects. Fergie Miller, director of research partnerships at IOG, while explaining Cardano's interchain approach noted that the value of blockchain technology does not lie in isolated networks, but in an interconnected fabric of sovereign systems that can share liquidity, identity and computation. Cardinal, partner chains unlock Cardano multichain strategy Cardinal, a trust-minimized bridge connecting Bitcoin and Cardano, represents a significant step toward enabling Bitcoin’s vast liquidity to be used securely within Cardano’s DeFi environment. This model enables Bitcoin to be used within Cardano’s extended UTXO (EUTXO) architecture. Partner chains provide a framework for launching purpose-built chains that interact natively with Cardano and each other. Partner chains do not require bespoke bridges, and they inherit security and benefit from shared liquidity. They include privacy, identity or specialized computation without duplicating infrastructure. In separate news, following an announcement that welcomed Pyth to Cardano, the Critical Integrations program is bringing Dune analytics to the ecosystem, making Cardano’s on-chain activity legible in the same data environment used by the rest of the industry.

During a recent conversation on X Spaces, Fahmi Syed, president of the Midnight Foundation,revealed that the foundation has received a formal legal contract from a prospective "stablecoin partner." The deal is not yet finalized. The contract is currently under legal review, "Hopefully, if we can get it signed," Syed cautiously said. If signed, an official public announcement is expected in the "coming days and weeks." The stablecoin will likely leverage Midnight's ZK tech for selective disclosure (hiding balances/transactions while allowing regulatory compliance). This comes just two weeks after the launch of the Midnight Network (NIGHT), which took place on Dec. 8. Thousands of Cardano users who received the "Glacier Drop" are currently in a "thawing" period where their tokens unlock over 360 days. Cardano stablecoins options USDM is currently the most trusted "USDC alternative" on Cardano. It is regulatory compliant in the US, meaning it is not algorithmic. At the same time, USDA is still struggling with deep liquidity. For instance, a trader lost millions due to "slippage" because there wasn't enough USDA in the liquidity pools to handle their massive trade. This is the "decentralized" option. It does not use fiat money in a bank. Instead, it uses ADA as collateral (you lock up $4-$8 of ADA to mint $1 of DJED). It is worth noting that existing stablecoins (USDM/USDA) live on the public Cardano chain. If you move them to Midnight to make them private, the issuers (Mehen/Anzens) need to legally agree to that. Right now, you have to "wrap" these tokens to get them onto Midnight. A parter (if the deal goes through) would issue the stablecoin natively on the privacy-focused blockchain.
