Although Bitcoin reached a nominal all-time high of $126,000, its real value adjusted for inflation has not yet surpassed $100,000, according to an analysis reported by Cointelegraph. Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, explained that after applying the Consumer Price Index (CPI) benchmarked to 2020, Bitcoin's real all-time high stands at $99,848. This figure was calculated by adjusting the BTC price to account for the decline in purchasing power, based on monthly CPI data released from 2020 to the present. The U.S. dollar's real purchasing power has fallen by approximately 20% since 2020, while the unadjusted CPI has increased by 2.7% over the last 12 months.

According to CoinNess market monitoring, BTC has fallen below $87,000. BTC is trading at $86,977.44 on the Binance USDT market.

Global Web3 security firm CertiK has reported that security incidents have led to total losses of $3.35 billion this year. In its annual report, CertiK noted that supply chain attacks accounted for approximately half of the total, amounting to $1.45 billion, citing the Bybit hack in February as a leading example. The firm's analysis suggests that hackers are increasingly targeting core services and infrastructure supply chains common to multiple companies, rather than searching for vulnerabilities in individual protocols or smart contracts. This strategy creates systemic risk, where a single hack can lead to extensive damage. CertiK also warned users to be cautious of phishing sites and messages generated with artificial intelligence (AI).

Bitcoin's failure to sustain a year-end rally could prevent a sharp price drop in the first quarter of next year, according to Anthony Pompliano, founder of crypto investment firm Pomp Investments.
