Bitget has been working over the past year to establish a position between user-friendly interfaces for retail and advanced trading instruments.

The latest addition, GetAgent, is designed to bridge the gap between analysis and execution by providing traders with a single interface that can interpret natural language requests, generate market insights, and trade directly within the app.

In the review, the function is not presented as a gimmick chatbot, but as a functional assistant that helps to reduce friction in daily trading. Below is a brief overview of how GetAgent works in practice, along with a step-by-step guide that anyone can follow.

The crypto market has grown by $238 billion in the last 48 hours, and signs of recovery are visible across cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it is important to observe how the whales are behaving at this moment to determine which crypto tokens investors should keep an eye on.

BeInCrypto has analyzed three such altcoins that are currently being purchased by crypto whales.

Franklin the Turtle (FRANKLIN)

TURTLE has attracted strong whale interest, with large wallets acquiring 15,77 million tokens in the last 24 hours. This accumulation highlights renewed confidence among major holders, despite the broader market's weakness.

Citadel Securities has adopted a dual stance in crypto, publicly rejecting regulatory exemptions for decentralized finance (DeFi) while simultaneously co-leading a $500 million investment in Ripple.

The step emphasizes a growing gap between institutional support for compliant blockchain infrastructure and skepticism towards fully decentralized protocols.

Citadel’s push against DeFi loopholes

Citadel Securities submitted a formal letter to the SEC on December 2, 2025. In the letter, the capital markets firm opposes exceptions for DeFi platforms trading tokenized U.S. stocks.

Three rapidly emerging narratives rise in the crypto expectations for December, setting the pace for the rest of the year and possibly establishing a new tone for 2026.

Web3 spending has reached all-time highs, Washington is switching to robotics, and forecasting markets are returning, suggesting potential areas of interest for investors.

A record month for crypto cards

Crypto card payments have quietly exploded in November, which could indicate that Web3 neobanking is becoming a real consumer trend.

The XRP price has failed to join the weekly gains of Bitcoin and Ethereum and remains within the narrow range it has held since mid-November.

Meanwhile, a bullish on-chain signal has reached a 3-month high, which normally serves as a strong basis for recovery. Yet, the XRP price has barely moved. Let's understand why.

Inactivity has reached a 3-month high, but long-term holders continue to sell

The story begins with the spent coins. Spent coins measure how much older XRP tokens move each day, and the metric has collapsed from 186.36 million XRP on November 15 to just 16.32 million XRP now. This is a dramatic decline of 91% and the lowest level in three months.

Connecticut has ordered Kalshi, Robinhood, and Crypto.com to immediately stop event-based contracts, further deepening its aggressive stance against digital assets.

The decision reveals a growing gap between state gambling laws and federal regulations on derivatives.

A new focal point in Connecticut's anti-crypto campaign

Connecticut has issued cease and desist orders to Kalshi, Robinhood Derivatives, and Crypto.com, accusing them of conducting unlicensed online sports betting through event-based price expectations.

Bitcoin has risen by 1.9% over the past week and continues to steadily rise since December 1. It is trading around $93,300 after a flat 24 hours, but the chart indicates a possible breakout followed by a potential increase of more than 15%.

Buyers have returned, but not those who would want to support the Bitcoin price to sustain the rally.

Buyers are taking action as Bitcoin moves towards a breakthrough

Bitcoin has maintained a downward trend since mid-November, building downward pressure. Nevertheless, the price has been rising since December 1 and is now moving towards a possible breakout structure. This is confirmed by an emerging inverted head-and-shoulders pattern on the 12-hour chart. This pattern usually appears near market depth points and supports the idea of a recovery.

The rise of Kevin Hassett as the leading candidate to succeed Jerome Powell in 2026 has created an unusual gap in the financial markets: crypto traders cheer, while bond investors warn of destabilizing interest rate cuts.

The gap widens as new reports highlight the private concerns to the U.S. Treasury Department.

Bond markets warn of aggressive discounts

Bond investors have confided in the Treasury Department that they are concerned that Hassett would advocate for swift, politically aligned interest rate cuts, according to the Financial Times.

The Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF ($GLNK) was launched on Tuesday and attracted about $41.5 million on the first day, marking a milestone for altcoin ETFs in the US.

Institutional demand for exposure to cryptocurrency is expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. As a result, many investors are now looking to see if LINK can reach new all-time highs.

ETF launch shows rising institutional interest

The Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF, traded under the symbol $GLNK on NYSE Arca, is the first spot Chainlink ETF for American investors. According to SoSoValue data, it recorded $40.90 million in net inflow on the first day, with total net assets of $67.55 million and a volume of $8.45 million. The ETF closed up 7.74% at $12.81 per share.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is rapidly expanding his influence in the prediction market field. He introduced a new prediction market on BNB Chain, while Trust Wallet, which he owns, has added prediction trading features for its 220 million users.

These development enthusiasts continue the October integrations of BNB Chain with Polymarket, as well as the launch of the Opinion mainnet. Together, these steps aim to position BNB Chain as a major hub for decentralized prediction markets, following the record of $7.4 billion in trading volume from the prediction market in October.

From November 24 to December 2, 2025, JPMorgan launched leveraged shares linked to BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, Vanguard reversed its crypto ban, and Nasdaq quadrupled the IBIT option limits. Three steps in nine days led to one outcome: the inclusion of Bitcoin in traditional finance and institutions.

Analyst Shanaka Anslem Perera describes that this rapid convergence marked a fundamental shift in how institutional capital gains access to digital assets. Leading banks and asset managers expanded crypto offerings, distribution channels, and regulatory frameworks, redefining the role of Bitcoin in global finance.

Charles Schwab's plan to start spot crypto trading in 2026 appears to be one of the most significant steps by a major American broker.

The company, which manages over $12 trillion in client assets, plans to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum trading on all its platforms after internal testing and a limited pilot phase.

Charles Schwab Brings Mainstream Investors to Crypto

Schwab's entry marks a shift in how traditional brokers approach digital assets. The company already offers indirect exposure through crypto-themed ETFs, but with spot trading, cryptocurrencies are placed in the same environment as stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts.

Michael Saylor is once again in the spotlight on Crypto Twitter after new regulatory documents reveal that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) recently spent $27 million on a down payment for a business jet.

The announcement has triggered a wave of criticism from users claiming that the purchase reflects the wrong priorities during a period of sharp volatility for both Bitcoin and Strategy's stock.

Shareholders are questioning Strategy's spending priorities

In crypto, getting in early can really pay off. This certainly seems to be the case for Ripple Labs, the San Francisco-based blockchain company that is now worth over $40 billion.

And after years of fighting with the SEC, the company is now experiencing better times in the regulatory climate with Trump at the helm. Since the US presidential elections, the price of XRP, the altcoin Ripple launched in 2012, has remained above $2, a level not seen since the blockchain bull run of 2017.

Bitcoin continues to trade around $92,000 after this week's rebound, but a growing number of on-chain indicators now suggest that the market has already entered a bearish cycle.

This stands in stark contrast to recent expectations from market leaders like Tom Lee and Arthur Hayes, who claim that Bitcoin can still close the year significantly higher.

Bullish expectations clash with data

Lee has recently toned down his previous target of $250,000 and now expects Bitcoin to remain around $100,000 until the end of the year.

A lawsuit against Binance tests the extent to which crypto platforms can be held liable for harm in the real world. Filed by families of victims of the October 2023 attacks in Israel, it comes amid ongoing reactions to founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)'s recent presidential pardon.

More than a new legal headache, the lawsuit is seen as a possible blueprint for a shift from regulatory fines to high private liability tied to terrorism financing.

Ethereum's price has risen by more than 13% since December 1, supported by a broader market recovery and growing optimism leading up to today's Fusaka upgrade, which improves the efficiency with which the network processes transactions. ETH is still more than 17% lower than last month, but the recent increase and various technical signals resemble what happened just before the Pectra upgrade in May 2025, when Ethereum rose 56% in seven days.

The question now is simple: can Fusaka cause such a movement again?

XRP is trying to recover strongly after last week's decline, with the altcoin showing an increase of 8% in the past 24 hours.

The positive shift in the broader market is helping XRP regain momentum, but the real catalyst seems to be the renewed confidence from large investors. This increase in whale activity could position XRP for a retest of multi-week highs.

XRP whales are saving the altcoin

Whale purchases have intensified as XRP approached the psychological level of $2.00 earlier this week. On-chain data shows that wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP have collectively amassed 620 million XRP in just a few days. At current prices, this accumulation is worth over $1.36 billion.

PENGU rose by more than 30% in early December 2025 following news of a major collaboration between Pudgy Penguins and the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 2026 Discover NHL Winter Classic.

Despite the price increase, on-chain data shows ongoing transfers of PENGU from the project's deployment address to centralized exchanges. This trend has sparked discussions about the sustainability of PENGU's recovery.

NHL collaboration drives PENGU rally

PENGU, the community token of Pudgy Penguins, experienced a significant rise during the first week of December. It has increased by nearly 30% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $0.01246 at the time of writing.
