Tom Lee pointed out that during the previous Bitcoin downturn cycle, Strategy's stock trading price was below its net asset value (NAV), and building a cash reserve was precisely to prepare for such situations.

x402 Payment Protocol officially released version 2 on December 11, 2025, further strengthening its core position in AI-native payments and autonomous machine trading. Since launching six months ago, x402 has completed over 100 million transactions through API, AI agents, and Web services. The V2 version incorporates key upgrades accumulated during this period. The most notable highlight of this update is the realization of a unified payment format for "multi-chain + traditional payment networks."

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) recently received a No-Action Letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), allowing it to develop traditional asset tokenization services over the next three years. This development not only marks a critical step toward the blockchain integration of the U.S. financial markets but also brings significant positive news for Chainlink, as the two parties have maintained close cooperation since 2024. According to the announcement, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), a subsidiary of DTCC, will launch a controlled production environment in the second half of 2026, officially issuing tokenized securities on approved Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain networks. The initial batch of tokenized assets will include highly liquid targets such as Russell 1000 index constituents, major ETFs, and U.S. government bonds, including Treasury bills and long-term bonds. During the initial phase, this service will only be open to DTC participants and their clients for strict monitoring.

In the Ethereum (ETH) market, large-scale withdrawals from staking continue, with approximately 400,000 ETH (about $1.3 billion) returning to the market over the past 20 days. Although ETH prices fell by 2.8% during the day to $3,227 as of the 11th, they have maintained a weekly increase of 3.1%. However, macro uncertainty and staking outflows remain a drag on the price, and the market continues to lack a clear direction. Meanwhile, one of the world's largest Ethereum holding companies, BitMine, is accelerating its buybacks. Founder Tom Lee has called the fall below $3,000 a "bottoming signal," and last week alone, purchased 138,452 ETH (about $460 million). As a result, BitMine's total holdings have risen to approximately 3,864,000 ETH (3.2% of the total supply), further strengthening its presence as a DAT company.

However, despite the worsening market sentiment, the company has quietly expanded its Bitcoin reserves, laying the groundwork for its "Bitcoin Infrastructure Backbone Network" strategy. According to the latest disclosures, as of December 8, 2025, ABTC holds approximately 4,783 Bitcoins, an increase of 416 Bitcoins in just the past week, representing a significant growth.

On Thursday, the US stock market retreated, with Oracle's stock price plunging over 11%, marking the largest drop in nearly a year. The market is once again worried that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI)-related capital expenditures, which far exceeds actual returns, could put pressure on the balance sheets of tech giants. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market performed relatively stably, forming a mild decoupling from the weak performance of tech stocks. Data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded above $92,000, maintaining a slight upward trend after holding onto key support levels, rising approximately 2.6% for the day. Traders are more focused on the maintenance of trend structure, with capital flowing into large-cap assets and risk appetite remaining cautious. Ethereum (ETH) also rose to around $3,260, while SOL increased by over 6%, outperforming mainstream assets and indicating a market recovery in demand for high-volatility Layer-1 tokens.

The Federal Reserve's rate cut again did not trigger a significant rebound in risk assets, and the overall crypto market remains cautious. Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to consolidate above key support levels. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point cut to the benchmark interest rate, bringing it to the 3.5%-3.75% range. This is the third rate cut this year, but internal disagreements over the future easing path have intensified, making it difficult for market risk appetite to be fully unleashed. Against the backdrop of complex macro sentiment, on-chain activity for Dogecoin remains active. Large whale wallets have increased their holdings by approximately 480 million DOGE in recent days. Although the launch of Dogecoin spot ETFs by Grayscale and Bitwise has attracted market attention, it has not yet led to sustained unilateral trends.

Blockchain analytics firm Global Ledger's latest investigation shows that the Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex, which was placed under sanctions by the West, is resuming operations and continues to process funds through a hidden payment architecture. Despite its servers being previously seized and its business being targeted by the international community, on-chain evidence indicates that the platform has quietly restarted recently and has transferred tens of millions of dollars in assets to users. The investigation found that researchers tracked multiple new wallets associated with Garantex on the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks, holding a total of over $34 million in cryptocurrency, with at least $25 million already paid to former users. The flow of funds also reveals how they evade monitoring: Garantex uses mixing tools like Tornado Cash to obfuscate reserves, then jumps across networks via cross-chain bridges between Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, and others, ultimately consolidating into an aggregation wallet before transferring out to multiple payment accounts.
