The Federal Reserve will hold its final interest rate meeting in December. Some officials do not support a rate cut, but Chair Powell may push to lower rates to 3.5%-3.75%. The key issue is whether enough consensus can be reached, while slowing job growth is sparking differing views on this rate cut.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently holding around the key support range of $0.14, with its price continuing to move within the descending channel formed since being rejected at $0.21. The overall structure is showing lower highs and lower lows, with short-term momentum still weak. Nevertheless, as long as the $0.136-$0.140 bottom range remains solid, there is still a chance for a short-term rebound toward the $0.16 area. From a technical perspective, the $0.145-$0.150 range remains a strong resistance zone in the near term. If bulls fail to hold above this level, any rebound is unlikely to be sustained. The $0.16-$0.18 range is an even stronger supply zone, having historically acted as the upper limit for rebounds. Currently, DOGE’s trading volume remains weak, and the rebound lacks confirmation from genuine buying interest, meaning each price surge is easily suppressed by bears. If the daily close can successfully hold above $0.150, it would be the first sign of bears losing control and could open the way for a move toward $0.16-$0.18. Conversely, if $0.136 is broken, the downside target will shift back to $0.12 and could potentially reach the yearly low zone of $0.10-$0.08.

Cardano (ADA) price continues to fluctuate within the $0.40 to $0.45 range, with the market watching closely to see if the key support at $0.38 can hold. Currently, ADA is trading around $0.43, just below the short-term resistance at $0.45. If it fails to break out with strong volume above the $0.45-$0.47 zone, the price structure may continue to show weakness and consolidation through late December. On a higher time frame, ADA has declined from its 2025 high of $1.32, remaining in a long-term downtrend overall. Although the RSI has rebounded from oversold territory, providing conditions for a short-term bounce, it has not disrupted the broader bearish structure. On the daily chart, major resistance is concentrated at $0.446-$0.47 (including the 200-day moving average), while key support lies between $0.423 and $0.40. A break below this support could see the range extend down to $0.33-$0.35.

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s "Mad Money," once again advised investors to “hold” NVIDIA stock instead of frequently trading it. On Monday, NVIDIA’s stock price rose slightly from $183 to $185 after news that the U.S. government had approved NVIDIA to export its H200 AI chips to China. Cramer emphasized that during periods of market volatility, investors should focus on holding the stocks of robust tech giants for the long term, including NVIDIA. He pointed out that such companies, with their strong technology and market positions, are resilient against short-term market fluctuations, and frequent trading is not beneficial for long-term returns.

Odaily Planet Daily news: The number of active validators on the Solana network has significantly decreased over the past three years: from more than 2,500 active nodes in March 2023 to around 800 currently, a drop of over 68%. Validators are responsible for running nodes, participating in block signing, and maintaining network security. The number of validators is often regarded as an important indicator of the degree of decentralization. In response to this significant contraction, ecosystem participants have offered different interpretations. Some community members believe that this round of decline is mainly due to the exit of “sybil nodes,” stating that “having 800 reliable validators is healthier than having 3,000 sybils,” and pointing out that reducing nodes that make no real contribution actually helps improve network quality. However, some infrastructure teams hold different views. Developers from Layer 33 said they know many teams that have recently shut down nodes, which

Overseas investors are pouring into the Japanese government bond market, accounting for 65% of trading volume and driving up yields and volatility. Although domestic institutions still hold the majority of government bonds, the high liquidity from foreign capital may introduce systemic risks that could impact global interest rates. The market will be closely watching the dynamics between the Federal Reserve and the Japanese bond market.

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.

Bitcoin is hovering near the 0.382 Fibonacci key support level, with the market watching to see whether it can hold this bullish defense line. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades has warned that if this level is breached, Bitcoin could fall back to the $76,000 region from April and potentially damage the high time frame bullish structure. Last weekend, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $88,000 during a round of leveraged liquidations, then rebounded to $91,500. Analyst Bull Theory described this move as a typical "low-liquidity weekend liquidation," viewing it as a maneuver to squeeze leveraged positions in both directions by taking advantage of weak market structure. Next, the market is awaiting the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting, with a widely expected 0.25% rate cut. However, since the first rate cut in October, crypto market sentiment has actually cooled, mainly because Powell has emphasized that decisions will be data-driven, making it difficult for the market to simply bet on a long-term easing cycle. Markus Thielen of 10x Research pointed out that weaker ETF inflows in December and declining trading volumes have limited Bitcoin's short-term breakout potential, while narrowing volatility has also increased downside risk.

Bitcoin is currently hovering around a key technical price level and needs effective support to avoid breaking below, which could lead to a drop to $76,000. The market has recently experienced short-term leveraged liquidations and significant price volatility, indicating that in low liquidity conditions, the market is easily susceptible to manipulation.

PANews, December 5—According to CoinDesk, James Butterfill, Head of Research at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, stated in a report that the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) bubble has largely burst. By the summer of 2025, some companies that were trading at 3 to 10 times their market value net asset value (mNAV) have now fallen back to around 1x or even lower. This trading model, which once regarded token treasuries as a growth engine, has undergone a sharp correction. The next move depends on market behavior: either prices fall further, triggering disorderly sell-offs, or companies hold their positions and wait for a rebound. Butterfill said he is more inclined toward the latter, citing an improving macro environment and a possible interest rate cut in December, which would support cryptocurrencies. Butterfill pointed out that the bigger challenge lies in structural issues. Previously, a group of companies...

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently approved the first leveraged SUI ETF launched by 21Shares, which is now listed on Nasdaq under the ticker TXXS. This product provides U.S. investors with a new way to gain 2x daily exposure to SUI’s returns through traditional brokerage accounts, without the need to directly purchase crypto assets. TXXS uses swaps and other derivatives to track SUI’s daily performance: if SUI rises 10% in a single day, the target increase is approximately 20%; if it falls, the decline is similarly reflected at double the rate. It’s important to note that the fund does not hold actual SUI tokens, relying entirely on a derivatives structure. In October, the SEC warned the market to exercise caution with highly leveraged crypto ETFs such as 3x and 5x products. This week, the agency also issued a risk alert letter to issuers, emphasizing its cautious regulatory stance on leveraged products.

JPMorgan analysts believe that Strategy's continued high Bitcoin holdings valuation above 1, as well as its strong cash reserves, will impact Bitcoin's short-term price trends and reduce the risk of sell-offs. At the same time, the mid-term target price for Bitcoin is expected to be around $170,000.

PANews, December 4—According to Cryptopolitan, Russia’s second-largest bank, VTB, plans to allow investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through its brokerage accounts. At an international investment conference held in Moscow this week, the head of the bank’s brokerage services department announced the news. Currently, VTB is offering clients the opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency derivatives and plans to provide direct investment channels for digital assets next year. VTB plans to launch its cryptocurrency trading service as soon as it receives regulatory approval for the business. Russian financial regulators have indicated that this move is likely to be implemented in the coming months. At that time, VTB’s clients will be able to directly buy, hold, and sell crypto assets such as Bitcoin through their individual investment accounts or regular brokerage accounts.

SUI may see an upside potential of up to 40% in the coming days, with the most significant positive factor being that a US-compliant CEX is expanding its trading services to the New York market. New York is considered one of the most strictly regulated crypto markets in the US, and this move means that previously restricted institutional investors, registered investment advisors, and retail investors can now officially access SUI, significantly increasing the token's liquidity and regulatory recognition. Meanwhile, traditional financial giant Vanguard has also indirectly included SUI through its tradable "Top Ten Cryptocurrencies" funds—including 21Shares (TTOPP) and Bitwise (BITW)—thereby attracting more conservative and long-term oriented traditional financial capital. For investors unable to hold crypto assets directly, this opens another compliant investment channel for SUI.

Solana (SOL) has accumulated a fall of about 57% since reaching its historical high of 295.83 USD at the beginning of the year, and is currently hovering within a long-term support zone around 120 USD. If it breaks this key support, SOL may face deeper dumping pressure, with the next major support level around 71 USD, indicating a potential further fall of 40%. The technical indicators show that SOL has strong bearish momentum. The weekly RSI has formed a bearish divergence and has fallen below 50, while the MACD is also in negative territory, indicating that the bearish forces are dominant. The price of SOL has been constrained within the range of 120-250 USD for a long time, and if this range is broken, it will trigger a clear trend reversal to bearish. The daily chart shows that SOL is under pressure below the descending resistance trend line, lacking rebound signals in the short term.

The XRPC ETF provides secure services through institutional-grade custody while tracking the price of the native token on the XRP Ledger.

PANews, December 2 - The Riksbank of Sweden has released a research report indicating that despite different regulatory frameworks, there is a gradual substantive convergence in stablecoin policies between Europe and the United States. The report focuses on three major dimensions of central bank policies: whether to allow stablecoin issuers access to settlement systems, whether central bank reserves can be used as collateral, and whether liquidity support can be obtained. Currently, while the law in both Europe and the U.S. permits the use of central bank reserves, there are still operational limitations. The European Central Bank has allowed some non-bank payment institutions to hold central bank account balances for transaction flows, but has not opened up the use of stablecoin backing.

BlockBeats news, on November 30, former Ark Invest crypto head and current Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske stated: "Since January 2002, equal-weighting Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia has yielded returns over 100 times. In the coming decades, some high-quality mainstream crypto assets may also encounter similar historic opportunities that are public and liquid. It is reasonable to reduce position appropriately during times of extreme market euphoria, but maintaining a long-term hold on most positions will still be the most critical capability."

BlockBeats news, on November 28, Alliance DAO co-founder QwQiao posted on social media stating, "The reason I find it difficult to convince myself to hold L1 public chain tokens long-term is not because their price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios are high, but because they lack a moat. Without a moat, they will become commoditized and fail to capture meaningful value. Nowadays, users can easily transfer across chains. Apart from a few complex smart contracts, most application developers can quickly migrate from one chain to another. Moreover, launching a new chain is easier than ever. The switching costs for Blockchain are far less than that of infrastructures like AWS. The only way I see chains strengthening their moats is by verticalizing and controlling the Application Layer. My observation is that Solana, Base, and...

Odaily News Alliance DAO co-founder responded to the previous viewpoint that "crypto bros will face stronger opponents when trading U.S. stocks" by stating that he is clear about this because he himself was one of the "professional counterparties" in the U.S. stock market ten years ago. He stated, "In the U.S. stock market, about 1 in every 20 trades is against my counterparty. I know my level at that time, and I am aware of the strength of my peers like Jump, Citadel, etc.—any market inefficiency you can think of has been completely squeezed out by us." He emphasized that retail investors might "get lucky for a few months," but the only way to make stable profits in the long term is straightforward: buy quality assets and hold them long-term, most likely index funds. If everyone does this, the professional trading industry will not be able to sustain itself. He concluded by writing: "The worst performer at the table.

Tether has recently doubled its holdings in gold, attracting market attention. Analysts believe this could be a strategic move to lay out a tokenization plan for the gold market, aimed at meeting the rise in demand for the USDT stablecoin and Tether Gold (XAUT).

According to the Financial Times, Tether purchased 26 tons of gold in the third quarter, surpassing the demand of the central banks of Kazakhstan and Brazil during the same period. Investment bank Jefferies pointed out that, aside from central banks, Tether is the largest holder of gold in the world, with gold reserves "roughly equivalent to smaller central banks such as those of South Korea, Hungary, and Greece."

Analysis company Arkham recently released a list of the top ten wealthiest individuals in the crypto assets industry, showing that this wealth can be traced on the blockchain. Unsurprisingly, at the top is the pseudonymous Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, who holds Bitcoin worth over 100 billion dollars. The list also includes TRON founder Justin Sun and Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. It is noteworthy that there are four billionaires on the list who control billions of dollars in crypto assets but cannot access them. Arkham points out that Rain Lõhmus, James Howells, Stefan Thomas, and Clifton Collins collectively hold about $2.7 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are visible on-chain, but for various reasons have become inaccessible.

The Australian government proposed the "2025 Companies Act Amendment (Digital Asset Framework) Bill" on Wednesday, aimed at implementing comprehensive regulation for crypto asset exchanges and custody platforms. Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Financial Services Minister Daniel Mulino stated that the bill is expected to release about AU$24 billion in productivity rise each year, while imposing fines of millions of AU$ on companies that fail to adequately protect customer assets. The bill introduces two new financial products in the Companies Act: digital asset platforms and tokenized custody platforms. Digital asset platforms must hold customers' crypto assets and provide trading functions (transfers, buying and selling, staking, etc.); tokenized custody platforms handle real-world assets such as bonds, real estate, and commodities, and operators must hold the underlying assets and issue convertible tokens. All platforms must hold an Australian Financial Services License and comply with ASIC's custody and settlement standards to ensure asset security and trading compliance. Low-risk small operators may be exempted from full licensing requirements.
