PANews December 31 News, according to the latest crypto weekly report released by Gate Ventures, the global market maintained a superficially stable appearance at the end of the year, but underlying risks are gradually shifting towards a structural level. The energy sector has contracted for two consecutive quarters, coupled with policy uncertainties and a slowdown in capital expenditure, increasing the likelihood of future supply constraints and price volatility. Against the backdrop of stock indices remaining high and AI-driven growth expectations still intact, the market is more likely to face adjustments in valuation and pace rather than a trend reversal, with capital allocation becoming more cautious and stratified.
The digital asset market continues to fluctuate. BTC and ETH are showing weaker trends, ETF capital outflows and sentiment indicators remain low, but the overall market cap has not experienced a systemic decline. Structurally, funds are moving from leading assets to non-mainstream sectors, with clear market differentiation, reflecting that investors, under risk controllable conditions, are still seeking relative return opportunities rather than fully entering risk-averse modes.
In venture capital, nine financing rounds disclosed this week totaled approximately $296 million, a slight decrease from the previous week. Funds are mainly concentrated in infrastructure and compliance-related areas, indicating that institutions are more cautious at the year-end, preferring sectors with long-term expansion potential and compliance features. Gate Ventures believes that in an environment where macro and market volatility coexist, venture capital activities are returning to a rational pace, laying the foundation for a structural recovery in early 2026.
