The latest annual report from South Korea's Korbit Research Center predicts that Bitcoin will reach the $140,000 to $170,000 range in 2026. It highlights that the core drivers behind the price increase are US fiscal reforms, structural institutional demand, and a strong US dollar environment, rather than the traditional four-year halving cycle. The research team proposes a new macro-driven theory, emphasizing that improvements in US productivity and an expansion in capital expenditure have significantly enhanced Bitcoin’s impact. The report identifies “a strengthening US dollar, a potential gold pullback, and increased institutional allocation to Bitcoin” as the three key driving factors. ETFs and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are rapidly absorbing market liquidity, and as of November 2025, the two combined will hold 11.7% of Bitcoin’s supply. The “One Big Bill” (OB3), expected to take effect in July 2025, will restore 100% bonus depreciation and immediate deduction of R&D expenses, potentially lowering the effective corporate tax rate to 10%-12%. Korbit believes this will attract overseas capital to the US and sustain the US dollar’s long-term strength.

On Thursday evening, global risk assets remained generally stable as traders awaited the release of a key inflation indicator—the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index—on Friday.

The core PCE for September is expected to increase by 2.9% year-over-year, marking the 55th consecutive month above the Fed’s 2% target, which further increases uncertainty around the policy path.

Odaily News DAT provides investors with exposure to underlying digital assets by packaging crypto assets in securities regulated by the SEC, aiming to outperform the performance of the underlying assets through a strategy that maximizes returns. A key metric for measuring the performance of DATs is the market net asset value (mNAV), which compares the company's enterprise value to its digital asset holdings. Investment bank Macquarie points out that the viability of DAT is closely related to the equity premium relative to net asset value. If this premium erodes or turns into a discount, the model will face significant challenges. When the crypto market experiences a pullback, mNAV may fall below 1, indicating that the company's trading price is below the value of its crypto asset holdings, which may force DATs to sell some tokens to obtain liquidity.

PANews, December 2nd news, according to Cointelegraph, the price of Bitcoin has currently dropped 31.4% from the historical high of $126,000 reached on October 6th. This pullback has caused the BTC price to fall below its network value (Metcalfe's value) for the first time in two years. Economist Timothy Peterson states that historically, this often indicates a recovery for Bitcoin. Metcalfe's Law indicates a positive correlation between BTC price and the rise in active addresses and volume (i.e., network value); the more wallets and transactions there are, the higher the fair price. This divergence between price and network value indicates that Bitcoin is undervalued relative to the continuously expanding network, a situation that usually occurs after excessive speculation. Peterson posted on X platform on Tuesday, stating that while it does not mean the price has hit bottom, it indicates that most of the leverage has been cleared and the "bubble" has burst. He also added that the Metcalfe price

BiyaPay analysts believe this signals that leading institutions are starting to reserve the "save the core by abandoning the vehicle" option for extreme market conditions, which may exacerbate the fluctuation of Bitcoin and related concept stocks in the short term. Users can trade US stocks MSTR and Bitcoin and other digital assets on BiyaPay using USDT.

Odaily News Gold prices fell on Tuesday from a more than six-month high, with Spot gold losing the $4200 per ounce mark during the day. This was partly due to the rise in U.S. Treasury yields and profit-taking that weighed on prices, while investors awaited U.S. economic data to assess the Fed's policy path. The Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained near a two-week high, diminishing the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Water noted: "Gold has performed weakly today, but the fundamentals remain unchanged— including the expected Fed rate cuts, which should support gold prices from a yield perspective." Market sentiment is cautious, with expectations that the core PCE price index, a favored inflation indicator by the Fed, will remain moderate when released on Friday. Additionally, key U.S. data this week includes the November ADP employment report on Wednesday. (Jin10)
