PANews December 12th News, according to three sources, the Bank of Japan may maintain its commitment to continue raising interest rates next week, but will emphasize that the pace of further hikes will depend on how the economy responds to each increase. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has essentially announced in advance that there will be a rate hike in December, and the market has almost fully priced in the possibility of raising rates from 0.5% to 0.75% in December. The market's focus has shifted to how much the BOJ can raise interest rates to a neutral level. Sources say that although the central bank may internally update its estimate of the policy rate relative to what is considered a neutral level, it will not use this estimate as the main communication tool for future rate hike paths due to the difficulty of making precise predictions. Instead, sources say the BOJ will explain that future rate hike decisions will be based on considerations of how past increases have affected bank lending, corporate financing conditions, and other economic activities. One source stated

Gold Financial Report, according to informed sources, bipartisan senators in the US Senate met with multiple Wall Street bank executives this week to discuss the Crypto Asset Market Structure Act. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott stated that Congress is making "substantial progress" toward passing this comprehensive crypto market regulation bill, aiming to solidify the US's position as the "Global Crypto Capital." On that day, Scott discussed the bill's contents with US Bank CEO Brian Moynihan, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, and Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf, including how to delineate between the SEC and CFTC.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pointed out in its latest "Understanding Stablecoins" report that stablecoins pegged to the US dollar may cause currency substitution and capital outflow risks in vulnerable emerging markets, weakening local currency stability. However, several experts say that the current stablecoin market size is still not enough to have a significant impact on the global macroeconomy. The report highlights that stablecoins may bypass traditional financial intermediaries, thereby circumventing capital flow management measures (CFMs), making it easier for funds to move across borders during periods of market panic and accelerating currency depreciation. The combined market value of mainstream stablecoins such as USDT and USDC has reached $264 billion, which is close to France's foreign exchange reserves and surpasses that of many countries such as the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. However, these "dollar equivalents" are more used in cryptocurrency trading than in real-world money management or circumventing regulations.

The latest survey shows that the main reason Japanese investors are exiting the cryptocurrency market is not market volatility, but rather the complex and burdensome tax system. Financial platform 400F conducted a survey in November of 894 investors, revealing that among those who previously held crypto assets but have since exited, 22.2% cited "tax complexity" as their reason for leaving, a higher proportion than the 19.4% who considered "price volatility" to be the main factor. For investors who remain in the market, price volatility and tax challenges are nearly equally important. 61.4% of current holders view price volatility as the main challenge, while 60% say that tax filing is a key obstacle. In Japan, cryptocurrency gains are classified as "miscellaneous income" and can be taxed at rates up to 55%. Investors are also required to accurately record every transaction and convert it to yen, making the process daunting for many ordinary investors.

Foresight News reports, citing Bloomberg, that Polymarket has been recruiting new employees for its internal market-making team, which may compete with clients on the company's exchange, despite similar functions having drawn criticism for its main competitors. According to people familiar with the matter, Polymarket has recently been in talks with traders, including sports bettors, about joining its new department. These individuals requested anonymity as the plans are internal. Kalshi already operates a similar department to what Polymarket is building, called Kalshi Trading, which bids on the exchange and in effect takes the opposite side of some customer trades. Kalshi executives say the department was established to create liquidity and improve the customer experience. However, critics argue that the company's market-making activities

Bitcoin's sudden big dump on December 1st intensified market panic, making investors more cautious as the year comes to a close. Over the past month, Bitcoin has fallen by about 7%, pulling back approximately 31% from the all-time high of $126,080 set in October, highlighting the market's vulnerability. Multiple experts told Decrypt that the current crypto market is extremely sensitive to negative news, while positive factors struggle to boost prices or sentiment. Caladan's research director, Derek Lim, pointed out that Bitcoin may experience high volatility and fluctuate between $83,000 and $95,000 in the short term. He emphasized that this still constitutes a healthy pullback within a bull market, rather than entering a bear market.

Odaily News Sources say that Trump trusts Hassett and believes that he is aligned with him on the desire to push the Central Bank for more aggressive interest rate cuts. Hassett has stated that he would accept the position if invited. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Becerra, who is overseeing the selection process, indicated that Trump might announce his nominee before the Christmas holiday. Other finalists besides Hassett include Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Christopher Waller, Michelle Bowman, former Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh, and BlackRock's Rick Rieder. Trump has also frequently expressed a desire for Becerra to serve as chairman, but Becerra has repeatedly declined.

BlockBeats news, on December 1, Musk recently stated in a podcast that in the future, human material needs will be greatly met, and thus currency will no longer be a necessity for humanity; the concept of currency may even disappear. At that time, energy will become the true currency, and "this is why I say Bitcoin is based on energy; you cannot control energy through legislation. You cannot suddenly possess a large amount of energy through a law."

According to BlockBeats news on December 1, based on GMGN market information, the Solana ecosystem meme coin PIPPIN has risen against the trend today, currently quoted at 0.1788 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 61.9%. Additionally, analyst @frontrunnersx noted that PIPPIN is exhibiting unusual trading patterns. Some wallets are accumulating and refusing to sell, pushing up the price and attracting short positions to get on board, while shorts are continuously getting liquidated by long wick candles, creating a leverage "death loop." One address bought about 200,000 USD worth of PIPPIN 6 days ago and sold after the price doubled, and is currently performing similar operations on ARC.

Goldman Sachs reported that the S&P 500 index may remain flat in November, but as market volatility drops and the breadth of the stock market improves, the market outlook becomes clearer.

Odaily News The weekly initial jobless claims in the U.S. have decreased, indicating that the number of unemployed remains very low, although the labor market is struggling to create sufficient job opportunities for the unemployed amid persistent economic uncertainty. Data released on Wednesday showed that for the week ending November 22, the seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 216,000. Economists had previously expected the initial jobless claims to be 225,000 for last week. Due to Thursday being Thanksgiving, the report was released a day early. Economists say that President Trump’s aggressive trade and immigration policies have created an environment where companies are reluctant to lay off or hire more workers, leading to what they and policymakers describe as a "no-hire no-fire" labor market. However, some companies, including Amazon, are ramping up layoffs as they integrate artificial intelligence into certain positions.

According to a Reuters report, sources say that the Bank of Japan may announce an interest rate hike at the policy meeting in December. Policymakers are weighing the weakening yen against wage rise and preparing for the potential end of the ultra-loose monetary policy. The Governor of the Bank of Japan, Kazuo Ueda, emphasized the need for more data on wage growth trends, while pointing out that the recent depreciation of the yen may affect potential inflation. Bank of Japan board member Junko Nakagawa also stated that given the recent decline of the yen, it is necessary to normalize monetary policy, which suggests that interest rate hikes may be approaching.

Odaily News Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman stated in a post this morning: "For years I have been debunking the misconceptions about Strategy (MSTR), yet every time BTC falls, the same nonsensical claims resurface - some say MSTR will be forced to sell BTC, or that its holdings will be liquidated, as if this were some leveraged perpetual futures… Anyone who spends less than five minutes consulting any debt or equity expert would understand that unless BTC's decline reaches a level where MSTR's selling actions become insignificant, MSTR simply does not need to sell BTC." Dorman further added that the reasons MSTR does not need to sell BTC are mainly as follows: 1. Considering

November 26 news, reports say that as the selection process for the new chair of the Fed enters its final weeks, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is seen by Trump’s advisors and allies as the frontrunner for the next Fed chair. However, insiders also point out that Trump is known for making surprising personnel and policy decisions, so nominations cannot be considered final until publicly announced. The selection of the Fed chair and board members has traditionally been the most direct way for a president to influence the Fed. During Trump’s first term, he nominated the current chair Jerome Powell, but Trump deeply regretted that decision when Powell did not cut rates at the pace he expected. Hassett is viewed as being highly aligned with Trump’s economic views, including the assertion that rates need to be dropped. In an interview on November 20, he stated that if he were to serve as Fed chair, "I would drop rates now," because "the data suggests we should do this."

Bitcoin plummeted to $81,900 on Friday, erasing Thursday's rebound and further extending a month-long dumping spree, with the crypto assets market capitalization evaporating by over $1.4 trillion. Bitcoin's current trading price is more than 30% lower than its historic peak in October, while the entire crypto assets market capitalization has also fallen below $3 trillion. Analysts say that the situation of the market big dump may further worsen. Citrini Research warned in a report sent to investors that risk aversion will continue to impact Crypto Assets and other speculative assets until mid-December. This is because investors are still coping with the effects of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which could 'trigger' market volatility. Kiln Research Director Robert Le stated, "If Bitcoin deviates from its established trend, I think the market may underestimate its upside potential and downside risks."

Golden Finance reports that Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, stated on the X platform that the reason people say the "4-year cycle" has failed is simply because prices have not moved as they expected. However, the core of the "four-year cycle" is not the price performance or a specific time period, but rather the waves of demand and adoption. Each cycle brings new demand and capital influx, but the waves of demand will eventually subside, which is precisely the reason for the existence of cycles.

PANews, November 19 - According to reports from Wu Shuo, the Ethereum DAT project led by Li Lin, Shen Bo, Xiao Feng, and Cai Wensheng has been suspended, and approximately $200 million in funds that had been raised have been returned. The plan was originally intended to use a Nasdaq shell company structure to initially purchase about $1 billion in ETH, with funding including approximately $200 million from Avenir and about $500 million from Asian institutions. Industry insiders say the suspension may be related to the bear market following the "1011 incident" and the decline in stock prices of several DAT companies. Whether to restart is still uncertain, and related parties have stated that they will prioritize investor interests and continue to observe the market to act accordingly.

According to a report by Golden Finance, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that Trump's support rate has fallen to 38%, the lowest level since his return to the White House, due to Americans' dissatisfaction with his handling of the cost of living and the investigation into Epstein. The four-day poll, which concluded on Monday, also shows signs of weakening Trump’s control over the Republican Party. At the beginning of his second term, 47% of Americans approved of him. The nine-point drop since January brings his overall support rate close to the low point of his first term and near the lowest level achieved by his Democratic predecessor, Biden. Biden's support rate had fallen to as low as 35%, while Trump's support rate during his first term had dropped to 33%. Only 26% of Americans say Trump is doing a good job managing the cost of living, down from 29% earlier this month.

According to ChainCatcher news and Jin10 reports, the US Dollar Index DXY has slightly declined today. Danske Bank analyst Jesper Fjarstedt stated that the recovery of US employment data may intensify short-term forex fluctuations, especially as multiple employment reports before the December Fed meeting could trigger significant market volatility. If the Fed keeps the interest rate unchanged in December, the US dollar will strengthen by the end of the year.

BlockBeats news, on November 17, the well-known encryption data website DappRadar posted on social media "After seven years, it's time to say goodbye," announcing that the platform will shut down: "We have made the difficult decision to close the DappRadar platform.

Golden Finance reports that Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, stated on the X platform that some say the ETF is a disadvantage for Metaplanet, but that is not the case. The ETF needs to be supported by capital inflows; otherwise, the number of BTC held will never increase. Moreover, the number of BTC held by Bitcoin treasury companies like Metaplanet will never increase. Therefore, the ETF is a "static exposure", with different roles for both. The ETF does not undermine the advantages of Bitcoin treasury companies.

According to ChainCatcher news, the current adjustment in Bitcoin prices is primarily influenced by three major factors: liquidity pressure in the United States, long-term holders taking profits due to tax reasons, and ongoing selling behavior in the US market.

Golden Ten Data, November 6 — According to informed sources, SoftBank Group considered acquiring U.S. chip manufacturer Marvell earlier this year. If the deal had gone through, it would have been the largest semiconductor industry merger and acquisition in history. Reports indicate that SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son has viewed Marvell as a potential target for years, as part of its strategic focus on artificial intelligence hardware. Several months ago, SoftBank engaged in discussions with Marvell, but the two sides could not reach an agreement on the terms. Sources say that SoftBank originally planned to merge Marvell with Arm, the chip design company controlled by SoftBank. Although there are no current substantial negotiations underway, some believe SoftBank may revisit its interest in the future. Marvell's stock has fallen 16% this year, with a market value of approximately $80 billion. In contrast, Nvidia, Broadcom, and Arm have all seen significant stock price increases this year, with Arm's current valuation around $170 billion.

Jupiter co-founder meow responded on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Exactly, and thank you very much for this message — your judgment is 90% on point. The past few months have indeed been particularly tough, but as you said, sometimes you have to seriously reevaluate what isn’t working and readjust your strategy. I want to say that the issue isn’t that these things are considered “afterthoughts,” but rather that we’ve tried too many different directions, and these attempts haven’t created the synergy needed for product and community growth. Regarding the token burn, I personally feel regretful, but for token holders, it’s an important step toward restarting our relationship. As for the community restructuring, I also feel the same way...”
