Bitcoin is open-source, and its design is public and transparent—no individual or institution owns or controls Bitcoin, and anyone can participate. Through many unique features, Bit

Odaily Planet Daily news: Standard Chartered Bank stated in a report on Tuesday that it has halved its Bitcoin price forecast for the end of 2025 to $100,000, down from the previous target of $200,000. At the same time, the bank has postponed its long-term target of $500,000 to 2030, originally set for 2028. The bank's analyst Geoffrey Kendrick pointed out that the downgrade is due to a reassessment of demand expectations, including the end of aggressive corporate purchases by entities such as MicroStrategy, as well as institutional adoption through ETFs being slower than expected. Kendrick said that future Bitcoin price increases will be "driven solely by ETF purchases." Currently, Bitcoin's quarterly ETF inflows have dropped to 50,000 BTC, the lowest since the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

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.

The Bitcoin market in 2025 is exhibiting an unprecedented "dual strategy" pattern: ETFs bring institutional liquidity, while self-custody upholds the decentralized spirit of Bitcoin. Industry analysts generally believe that this coexistence model is becoming the new mainstream trend, driving Bitcoin toward a more mature and structurally robust stage of development. As Wall Street continues to expand the absorption capacity of spot Bitcoin ETFs, monthly capital inflows during 2024 to 2025 have repeatedly reached $4 billion to $6 billion, pushing the total asset size to approximately $140 billion by July 2025. ETFs have become the primary avenue for institutions to enter Bitcoin, offering strong liquidity, regulatory protection, and eligibility for retirement accounts, quickly making them the first choice for traditional financial investors.

Today's December FOMC meeting has become the focus of global markets, with investors closely tracking the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and economic forecasts to assess the direction of monetary policy in 2026 and evaluate its potential impact on crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market predictions put the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at as high as 80% to 92%. If realized, the federal funds rate range will drop to 3.50% to 3.75%, marking the third rate cut this year. The likelihood of a pause or unexpected rate hike is extremely low, but any deviation from expectations in the decision could still trigger significant market volatility.

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.

Bernstein, which manages approximately $800 billion in assets, has recently published a Bitcoin research report that has drawn significant attention from the market. The firm states that Bitcoin’s decade-long “four-year halving cycle” has officially ended, and a long-term bull market phase led by institutional capital is taking shape. According to the report content shared by VanEck executive Matthew Sigel, Bernstein believes that Bitcoin’s current structural demand is being reshaped by institutional buying. Although Bitcoin’s price has recently corrected by nearly 30%, ETF outflows have remained under 5%, indicating that most institutional buyers view BTC as a strategic asset rather than a short-term trading tool. This sustained net ETF inflow is highly consistent with the long-term accumulation trend of large institutions and also reflects that the structure of the Bitcoin market is undergoing profound changes.

On Monday, MicroBT officially launched its new generation of WhatsMiner mining machines—the M70 series—in Abu Dhabi. Despite Bitcoin mining revenues currently being at multi-year lows, the company has chosen to introduce a product line with higher energy efficiency. The M70 series covers three efficiency tiers: 12.5 J/TH, 13.5 J/TH, and 14.5 J/TH, offering both air-cooled and water-cooled models. The single-unit hashrate ranges from the entry-level M70 at around 214 TH/s to the rack-mounted M79S at over 1 PH/s, targeting ultra-large-scale mining farms and advanced energy solutions. This launch comes at a time when mining economics are extremely tight. According to market data, Bitcoin hashprice has dropped to about $35 per PH/s/day, nearing historic lows; meanwhile, network hashrate remains above 1 ZH/s, increasing revenue pressure on miners. Record-high mining difficulty combined with price corrections has significantly slowed miner demand, and ASIC manufacturers are generally facing challenges such as extended inventory and order cycles.

The price of Bitcoin has recently fallen to just below $90,000, approaching the overall cost basis of US Bitcoin ETFs, raising concerns in the market about support levels. According to Glassnode data, since February last year, continuous ETF buying has provided key support during multiple downturn cycles, enabling Bitcoin's price to rebound near the breakeven point. Historical data shows that since 2024, Bitcoin has experienced two deep corrections of more than 30%, occurring from March to August and from January to April 2025, both bottoming near the ETF cost basis. At that time, weekly net inflows into ETFs, as tracked by SoSoValue, were negative, which is quite similar to the current market situation.

The price of Bitcoin hovered around $90,400 on Tuesday, with the market gradually stabilizing after experiencing its weakest November performance since 2018. Market data shows that over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin edged up 1%, Ethereum rose 0.2%, and other major altcoins saw mixed movements. BNB increased by nearly 1%, XRP dipped slightly, and Solana fell by about 0.6%. Although liquidity remains weak ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision, the overall rebound momentum continues. The latest market time zone data has attracted attention. A Presto Research report points out that the European trading session has been the main driver behind this month's 20% to 25% drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum, with negative returns significantly higher than in other regions. The Asian and US markets have remained largely flat, indicating that during the crypto market's deleveraging process, capital behavior varies noticeably across different regions.

The Japan Financial Services Agency has revised its Q&A, stating that derivatives such as CFDs based on overseas crypto asset ETFs are not ideal domestically and offer insufficient investor protection. IG Securities has already halted CFD trading based on US spot Bitcoin ETFs, indicating that regulatory restrictions are unlikely to be relaxed in the short term.

Since the launch of the Bitcoin network in 2009, the number of independent addresses holding more than 0.1 Bitcoin has generally increased, but over the past 24 months, it has continued to decline, dropping from 4,548,107 to 4,443,541. The decline began at the start of 2024 and has now reached a two-year low.

BlockBeats news, on December 9, Santiment tweeted, "As Bitcoin's market capitalization hovers around $90,000, the leading cryptocurrency continues to show an outflow trend from CEXs. Over the past year, a total of 403,200 Bitcoins have flowed out of CEXs, resulting in a net supply decrease of 2.09%. Overall, this is a long-term bullish signal. The lower the amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges, the less likely major sell-offs causing price declines have historically been."

The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that a key figure in a social engineering scam involving $263 million worth of Bitcoin has pleaded guilty. Evan Tangeman, a 22-year-old California resident, admitted in district court to participating in money laundering in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), involving more than $3.5 million. He is the ninth defendant to plead guilty in the case. The scam operated from October 2023 to May 2025, carried out by gang members distributed across various U.S. states and overseas. The group included hackers, organizers, target identifiers, telephone salespeople, and thieves who stole hardware wallets. Together, they stole approximately 4,100 Bitcoins, which were worth about $263 million at the time and are currently valued at around $371 million. The hackers breached websites to obtain cryptocurrency-related databases, target identifiers singled out high-value victims, and telephone salespeople induced victims to cooperate over the phone, making the entire scam operation highly sophisticated.

Twenty One Capital CEO Jack Mallers announced that the company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on December 10, Beijing time, with the stock ticker "XXI."
