According to on-chain analyst Yu Yan's data, a whale holding a $230 million long position experienced an unrealized loss of $17.1 million after a dip in the early morning. The total position is currently $666 million, with long positions in ETH, BTC, and SOL all in an unrealized loss state.

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly supports the Fed cutting interest rates, emphasizing that the economic expansion is still in its early stages, and there is a need to balance inflation and a healthy labor market, while remaining cautious of the household burden from overly tight policies.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Chicago Federal Reserve President Goolsbee stated on Friday that he opposes the Federal Reserve's recent 25 basis point rate cut decision, believing that before further rate cuts are made, more data on inflation and the labor market should be awaited, especially given that businesses and consumers remain highly concerned about rising prices. Goolsbee is one of three officials who voted against the decision in the Fed's 9:3 vote this week. He advocates delaying the rate cut until early next year. He explained, “Given that inflation has been above the target for four and a half years in a row, progress has stalled in recent months, and nearly all the businesses and consumers we have contacted within our district regard prices as a primary concern, I believe a more cautious approach is to wait for more information.” He also stated that if future data show inflation is returning to the Fed's 2% target, he remains “optimistic that” rates could be “significantly lowered next year.” (Jin10)

Odaily Planet Daily reported that the S&P 500 Index closed at a new all-time high again on Thursday. While this is not uncommon in 2025, it has been six weeks since the last record was broken. Ed Clissold, Chief US Strategist at Ned Davis Research, said, “Considering that US companies continue to deliver strong earnings reports, and the US economy has proven to be resilient, the current market sentiment is far from euphoric, which means there is still room for further gains by the end of the year and into early next year.” Noticing that investor enthusiasm is not only subdued at Ned Davis Research, even though the stock market is at an all-time high. Barclays’ “Stock Market Euphoria Indicator” has stabilized but remains well below its early October peak, indicating that the market still has “dry gunpowder” to drive potential year-end gains.

Hyperliquid Strategies announces the launch of a $30 million, 12-month stock repurchase program aimed at boosting the stock price of the company that recently went public and strengthening the value linkage between its stock and the HYPE token. The plan was announced after the company's official listing on NASDAQ, not only to support secondary market performance but also to further expand the company's staked and reserve holdings of HYPE tokens. The establishment of Hyperliquid Strategies stems from the merger of Sonnet BioTherapeutics and Rorschach, a SPAC company under the crypto venture fund Paradigm. The merger was originally scheduled to be completed in November but was finalized on December 2nd, leading to the company's stock beginning trading in early December. As an asset management firm focused on digital assets, Hyperliquid Strategies holds a large amount of HYPE tokens, and this buyback plan will further strengthen its capital position within the token ecosystem.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) stated in its latest annual industry report that the Web3 gaming industry is shifting from an early speculative phase to a development path that emphasizes sustainable economic models and product orientation. Overall market sentiment and maturity have shown a significant rebound. The report, based on a survey of over 500 global blockchain game practitioners, indicates that industry optimism has rebounded from a low point in 2024 to 65.8%, with the focus shifting from tokenomics design to high-quality game content, stable revenue models, and payment infrastructure supporting real business scenarios. BGA stated that the core marker of industry transformation is the "repositioning towards a sustainable economic system." The report recalls that Web3 games in 2021

According to data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC have sold or redistributed approximately 36,500 BTC since December 1, equivalent to about $3.4 billion. This sell-off occurred as Bitcoin struggled to break through the $94,000 resistance level. Currently, BTC is trading at $92,250 in the Asian morning session on Friday, down 0.2%. Institutional custodians or early miners holding large amounts of Bitcoin are reducing risk, shifting market sentiment from accumulation to distribution. This trend contrasts with the still-high buying enthusiasm among retail investors. Meanwhile, the liquidity of stablecoins has declined significantly, with inflows decreasing by 50% since August this year, indicating limited financial support for Bitcoin to break the $100,000 barrier.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Cryptocurrency analyst Jason Pizzino's latest research indicates that Bitcoin price may not touch its long-term bottom until October 2026. Currently, BTC trading volume continues to decline, resembling the pattern seen from late 2022 to early 2023, which reduces the likelihood of a short-term bull market return. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that the share of large investors' deposits on exchanges has dropped from 47% in mid-November to the current 21%, with the average deposit size decreasing by 36%, indicating that selling pressure is weakening. If this trend continues, BTC price is expected to rebound to $99,000. Analysts point out that the 200-day simple moving average acts as a strong resistance, market risk appetite is insufficient, and Bitcoin may need to go through a consolidation period before a new round of market activity begins.

BlockBeats News, December 11 — Jito co-founder and CEO buffalu stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference that Solana is winning the speed race, and this has become very evident. "In the past few years, we have witnessed a 6-fold increase in transactions per second, thanks to the joint efforts of all Solana ecosystem engineers and excellent application developers. In the chart on the right, you can see the continuous growth of block space over the past few years. Earlier this year, Solana's per-block compute limit was approximately 48 million compute units, which then increased to 50 million, 60 million compute units. It is expected to jump to 100 million compute units early next year and continue to grow exponentially."

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as scheduled, and the market reacted quickly, with Ethereum emerging as the biggest winner. Although Bitcoin hovered around $92,000, ETH successfully held its pre-meeting gains above $3,300, highlighting its sensitivity to liquidity cycles. This round of gains was not driven by leverage but by a structural reevaluation fueled by spot demand. CryptoQuant data shows that despite ETH prices rising, the funding rates in the derivatives market remain low, indicating that the typical high-leverage bubbles associated with upward movements have not appeared. On-chain data also supports this trend. Santiment reports that in the three weeks leading up to the Federal Reserve meeting, "whales" and "sharks" accumulated approximately 1 million ETH, worth over $3.1 billion. This suggests that institutions were betting early on a continued easing cycle by the Fed rather than aggressive tightening. Meanwhile, the approximately $66.5 billion in stablecoin reserves (dry powder) on exchanges provides strong potential buying pressure for the rally.

Pi Network today officially launched the mainnet migration option within the app, attracting widespread attention from the global community. Users have noticed the new toggle switch has appeared, signaling that the project is taking another significant step toward full mainnet deployment. According to the core team's previous plan, mainnet features will be gradually rolled out from late 2025 to early 2026. This update aligns perfectly with the roadmap and is seen as an important signal that the ecosystem is moving from the preparation phase into the execution phase. The launch of the mainnet migration feature follows Pi Network's major technological breakthrough in the KYC system. Starting from late 2025, the team introduced a new AI review model, greatly improving user identity verification efficiency. According to user feedback, the previously frustrating long queues for verification have been significantly improved, with approval cycles shortened to 3 to 14 days. The new AI model not only enhances document recognition accuracy but also addresses delays in manual review stages, reducing backlog by nearly half and paving the way for large-scale mainnet migration.

FTX and Alameda Research have resumed their monthly routine token unlock process. This week, both released a total of 194,861 Solana (SOL), valued at approximately $25 million. Lookonchain initially detected this movement, and Arkham Intelligence subsequently confirmed the related data. Since FTX's bankruptcy liquidation has been ongoing on schedule since 2025, this month's operation aligns with previous cycles and does not show signs of additional selling pressure, but the scale still raises market caution. Data shows that SOL tokens flowed from an Alameda-related staking account into the FTX liquidation structure for ongoing asset disposal. Alameda played an important role early on in the Solana ecosystem's validation and development, holding a large amount of long-term staked positions. The bankruptcy administrator is currently adopting a "periodic unlock + gradual disposal" approach to minimize market disruption.

BlockBeats News, December 11 — The Astros Leaderboard officially launched on December 8, and simultaneously opened a 15-day early bonus window (December 8 – December 22) offering double points.

State Street and Galaxy Asset Management will launch the tokenized liquidity fund SWEEP on Solana in early 2026, providing 24-hour on-chain liquidity management, trading with PayPal stablecoin PYUSD, with an initial capital of approximately $200 million. Future plans include expanding to Stellar and Ethereum.

PANews December 10 News, former Lyft executive Kenan Saleh announced that he has joined venture capital firm a16z as an early-stage investment partner, focusing on its Speedrun program, providing $1 million in seed funding for startups and helping with expansion. Kenan previously worked at Lyft, during which he had extensive collaboration with a16z, and also thanked his previous employer Bain Capital.

Santiment's latest on-chain data shows that the Ethereum market has seen a clear position divergence in the past three weeks: whales and medium-sized holders have increased their holdings by a total of 934,240 ETH, while retail investors have sold a net of 1,041 ETH during the same period. This structural difference is reshaping ETH's supply and demand landscape and driving a gradual price recovery. The data shows that the number of addresses holding 100 to 100,000 ETH has continued to increase since early December, and the cumulative trend of this group coincides with the decline in ETH volatility, the slowdown in decline, and the rebound. The Ethereum price subsequently rose as a large number of buying orders entered the market, indicating that the actions of large holders are clearly supporting the price.

Zcash (ZEC) is trying to recover lost ground after the November plunge. After experiencing a significant decline of over 55%, ZEC has recently rebounded by approximately 40%, and market sentiment has recovered, but the full recovery still faces multiple uncertainties. In terms of technical indicators, the RSI has broken above the 50 neutral range for the first time in two weeks, indicating increased buying power and a short-term bullish bias is forming. In general, the RSI's return to positive range is often seen as an early signal of a trend reversal, but this does not mean that ZEC has established itself in an upward trend. The macro market remains highly sensitive to risk assets, and the slightest movement could weaken ZEC's new vitality, so sustained buying is key to short-term gains.

Aave Labs has officially submitted a governance proposal, planning to deploy Aave V0 on Day 3 of the MegaETH mainnet launch to lock in early liquidity and meet strong lending demand. The proposal, released on December 8, restarted previous discussions about MegaETH deployment and updated the provisions with the participation of risk service providers. Aave said that MegaETH is completing the construction of key infrastructure such as oracles, and as the mainnet approaches, the team believes that V3 should be deployed as soon as it goes live to convert early network activity into protocol use. The first-mover advantage will help Aave prioritize attracting lending and asset supply demand before liquidity is dispersed across multiple protocols.

Bitcoin retreated to near $92,500 in early Asian trading on Wednesday after breaking above $94,000, as the market continued to remain cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's key meeting. As investors focus on the latest policy statement and the tone of Jerome Powell's year-end press conference, the overall cryptocurrency sentiment cools in the short term. Mainstream altcoins are showing a differentiated trend. Ethereum is up 7% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading around $3,320; Solana and Dogecoin are both up about 5%; Cardano was the strongest performer, with an 8.5% increase on the day. Despite this, these tokens generally retreated 1%-2% in early Asian trading, hinting at profit-taking after an overnight rally. XRP is up slightly by 2% but is still down 4% this week, with BNB, USDC, and TRX largely flat. The market depth for small-cap tokens remains weak, reflecting the ongoing liquidity imbalance since December.

The "iron head and multi-army" whale closed its SUI and ETH long positions on December 10 and then opened their positions, with a floating loss of $31,000 in ETH long orders and a floating loss of $71,000 in SUI long orders.

U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated at the Blockchain Policy Summit that the Senate is accelerating the advancement of a market structure bill covering the crypto industry, with plans to have it signed by Trump. Despite discussions about ethical risks, the bill is still expected to be completed in early 2026.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager and Head of Business Cycle Indicators at The Conference Board, stated that the US Leading Economic Index declined again in September, marking the second consecutive month of decline. The overall contraction in the index was mainly driven by weakened expectations from consumers and businesses. The main components dragging down the index included consumer expectations, the ISM New Orders Index, new orders for manufactured consumer goods and raw materials, initial jobless claims, and the yield curve. However, some components provided positive contributions, such as stock prices, the Leading Credit Index, and new orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft. The indicator trend suggests that US economic activity will slow down from the end of 2025 to early 2026. Overall, economic growth remains fragile and uneven, as businesses face the dual challenges of tariff policy adjustments and weakening consumer momentum. US GDP is projected to grow by 1.8% in 2025, and in 2026...

According to Jinse Finance, sources revealed that Meta may release a new large language model called Avocado in the first quarter of 2026 to further compete with companies such as Google and OpenAI.

US cryptocurrency ETF fund flows show selective positioning, with altcoins attracting attention. Although the market shows early signs of recovery, confidence remains lacking. Traders are generally adopting a wait-and-see approach ahead of the FOMC meeting, with heightened expectations for rate cuts. Household pessimism and the scale of consumer credit point to a complex outlook for demand.

At the recent Bitcoin MENA conference, Michael Saylor made it clear that Strategy (MSTR) will not issue perpetual preferred stock (“digital credit”) in Japan within the next 12 months, stating that the “12-month head start” will be left to Japanese listed company Metaplanet. This move has drawn more attention to Metaplanet’s strategy in the Japanese perpetual preferred stock market, which has long been inactive, with only five companies in all of Japan currently qualified to trade perpetual preferred stock. Metaplanet CEO Simon Groverich pointed out that the company plans to enter this market with two new products, “Mercury” and “Mars,” becoming the sixth and seventh companies in Japan to issue perpetual preferred stock. Among them, Mercury is positioned as the Japanese version of Strategy STRK, with an annualized yield of 4.9%, denominated in yen and convertible, which is much higher than the generally less than 0.5% yield of Japanese bank deposits and money market funds. Mercury is currently in the pre-IPO stage, with the goal of listing in early 2026. The second product, Mars, models Strategy’s short-term high-yield credit product STRC, targeting investors seeking short-term returns.

Since early November, Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded more than 20% after hitting a local low of around $2,620, and as of December 9, it has returned above $3,000. However, both technical patterns and on-chain data are signaling further downside, suggesting that ETH prices may weaken again in the coming months. From a technical perspective, ETH is currently forming a classic inverse cup-and-handle pattern, which typically signals a deeper correction and points to a mid-term target of around $1,500. This pattern began after ETH peaked near $4,100 in August and subsequently declined, breaking below both the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, gradually forming a rounded top. Entering the "handle" phase, ETH has been moving within an ascending channel but has repeatedly faced resistance around the $3,150 region, struggling to break through in the short term, with the 50-day moving average also acting as resistance in this range. If ETH breaks below the current lower boundary of the channel around $2,900, it will confirm the continuation of the downtrend, technically validating the $1,500 target of the inverse cup-and-handle pattern. This range also overlaps with a key support area for Ethereum since the beginning of 2024, further amplifying the risk. Unless the price regains the $3,300 to $3,450 range, ETH’s overall trend remains tilted to the downside.

Bitcoin fell another 0.70% in the past 24 hours, continuing its recent volatility, and this trend is raising more and more concerns about “institutional manipulation.” Several analysts have pointed out that Bitcoin’s frequent sharp drops around the opening of the US market occur with too much regularity, suggesting the involvement of concentrated high-frequency trading institutions. Currently, the core question in the market is whether Bitcoin’s weakness is caused by internal manipulation rather than natural market dynamics. Although the fourth quarter is usually a strong period for Bitcoin, since the market crash on October 10, Bitcoin has not only failed to recover but has continued to underperform US stocks. US stocks are up 8% with several stocks hitting new highs, while Bitcoin remains 29% below its pre-crash level.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released a discussion paper proposing reform measures to enhance the investment culture and is seeking feedback from the crypto industry. The FCA emphasizes the need to adjust client classification and conflict of interest rules to avoid potential risks associated with high-risk investments, and requires relevant businesses to submit feedback early next year.

In early December, the "meme coin" market once again showed strong signs of recovery. According to leading meme token issuance platform Pump.fun, the number of newly created tokens has surged, suggesting that market risk appetite is warming up again. Dune data shows that throughout December, the number of newly added tokens per day has consistently remained above 20,000, with December 2 even surpassing 25,000, setting a new high since mid-September and indicating a significant rebound in retail sentiment. Although issuance enthusiasm has not yet returned to the peak level of early 2025, notable changes are taking place in the market structure. Analysts point out that as the end of the year approaches, investors' interest in high-risk assets is increasing, and meme coins—due to their low market cap and high potential returns—have once again become the focal point of retail attraction.

The latest weekly report from Glassnode points out that the current market conditions are similar to the early stages of the 2022 bear market.

New York brokerage Clear Street is preparing to go public, with an expected valuation between $10 billion and $12 billion. Goldman Sachs will lead the deal, but it may not be completed before January. The company is a well-known cryptocurrency stock underwriter.

ChainCatcher reports that although quantum computers pose a long-term threat to cryptography, the actual risk is generally exaggerated. The report indicates that the likelihood of a "cryptographically relevant quantum computer" capable of breaking modern encryption systems appearing before 2030 is extremely low. a16z recommends the immediate deployment of hybrid encryption schemes to address "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) attacks, but blockchains do not need to rush to adopt post-quantum signature technology, as digital signatures are not affected by HNDL attacks. Bitcoin faces particular challenges due to its slow governance mechanism and a large number of potentially abandoned quantum-vulnerable coins, necessitating early planning for migration paths. Privacy chains, on the other hand, have a more urgent need for post-quantum protection due to their encrypted transaction data. The report emphasizes that achieving current security and addressing vulnerabilities are more urgent threats than long-term quantum computing risks, and it puts forward seven specific recommendations to help the industry respond to quantum challenges.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Kevin Hassett, the Director of the White House National Economic Council and a leading candidate to become the next Federal Reserve Chair, reiterated on Friday his expectation that Fed policymakers will cut interest rates at next week's meeting. "Now is a good time for the Fed to cautiously cut rates again," he said on Fox Business Channel. He predicted that as the economy recovers from the recent federal government shutdown and new factories come online, there will be an economic boom in early 2026. Hassett also publicly supported Treasury Secretary Besant's proposal to add a residency requirement for regional Fed presidents. Hassett said, "The reason we established all these regional Feds was to ensure a federal system where regions with different concerns could all have a voice at the decision-making level." Besant said on Wednesday that she would push for new rules requiring candidates for regional Fed presidents to have lived in their district for at least three years—a measure the Trump administration accuses the Fed of exceeding...

According to Bloomberg, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recently experienced significant outflows, setting a record for consecutive weeks of net outflows since its launch in January 2024, indicating that institutional demand for Bitcoin remains weak. Bloomberg data shows that in the five weeks ending November 28, investors withdrew more than $2.7 billion from the ETF, with another $113 million redeemed on Thursday, putting the fund on track for its sixth consecutive week of outflows. IBIT manages assets totaling over $71 billion and has long been an important tool for traditional investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin. The ongoing outflows are in line with the bearish trend that followed a major liquidation event in early October, when over $1 trillion was wiped from the crypto market’s capitalization. Although Bitcoin has recently rebounded in price, the persistent ETF outflows highlight a marked shift in market sentiment.

After several days of flat trading, Hedera’s HBAR token is currently in a consolidation phase, indicating a lack of clear market direction. However, investor activity is picking up, and early signs suggest that bearish pressure may be easing. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator has risen significantly, indicating a notable reduction in selling pressure. If the CMF continues to improve and crosses above the zero line, HBAR will register a net inflow, potentially restoring trader confidence and providing momentum for a price increase.
