Long-term Bitcoin holders have significantly slowed their selling activity, marking a potential shift in market sentiment after six consecutive months of distribution. Data shows wallets holding BTC for at least 155 days reduced their combined balances from approximately 14.8 million coins in mid-July to around 14.3 million by December. Crypto investor Ted Pillows noted this is the first pause in distribution since July, which could pave the way for a short-term relief rally if broader market sentiment stabilizes.
Concurrently, DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT), an AI-powered crypto intelligence platform, has seen its presale price surge over 100%, climbing from $0.01510 to $0.03142. The project has raised nearly $1 million and is on the verge of hitting that milestone ahead of its scheduled January launch. The platform features live utility through three active AI agents—SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT—which provide real-time market intelligence, on-chain analysis, and trade logic assistance.
This momentum has sparked a comparative debate with infrastructure token Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which launched its presale at $0.0115 and attracted over $100,000 in its first 24 hours. Bitcoin Hyper aims to be a Bitcoin Layer-2 scaling solution using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to enable faster transactions and smart contracts. However, analysts highlight a key distinction: DeepSnitch AI is already operational, while Bitcoin Hyper's value is contingent on future technical execution.
The news unfolds against a backdrop of regulatory delays in South Korea, where lawmakers have postponed the submission of the Digital Asset Basic Act until 2026, stalling the issuance of domestic won-pegged stablecoins. This regulatory uncertainty contrasts with the immediate, utility-driven growth seen in projects like DeepSnitch AI.
DeepSnitch AI is offering bonus codes to incentivize larger investments, including a 50% bonus for purchases above $2,000 (DSNTVIP50) and a 100% bonus for purchases above $5,000 (DSNTVIP100). The project also reports over 24 million tokens already staked by participants.
