According to ChainCatcher news and Jin10 reports, US President Trump praised the third quarter GDP data in a post on social media, noting that the growth rate reached 4.2%, far exceeding the expected 2.5%. He criticized the market's reaction as abnormal, believing that good news actually led to the stock market remaining flat or falling, as Wall Street is concerned that interest rate hikes could prevent potential inflation. Trump hopes that the new Fed chairman will cut interest rates when the market is doing well, rather than suppressing the market, and stated that the inflation issue will naturally ease and should never be addressed by raising rates to curb a pump.

Ethereum (ETH) is facing significant phase pressure. Recent data shows that after several weeks of capital inflows, approximately $555 million was withdrawn from Ethereum-related products last week, making it the largest outflow among digital asset funds during that period. This change has significantly cooled market expectations for "Ethereum to dominate the altcoin season in 2026." According to data disclosed by CoinShares, this is the first week of net outflow for Ethereum in a month. Analysts believe that the delay of the Clarity Act at a critical juncture is one of the important factors triggering the capital withdrawal. The flow of funds shows that almost all ETH outflows come from the US market, indicating that the price trend of Ethereum is highly related to the US crypto regulatory environment.

Golden Finance reports that the US Dollar Index DXY has fallen below 98, reaching a new low in 5 days.

Since 2025, the performance of major global assets has shown significant divergence. In the context of investors simultaneously pursuing safe-haven and growth assets, Bitcoin has unexpectedly lagged behind two assets with completely opposite attributes - gold and copper. This phenomenon reflects that, driven by macro uncertainty and the AI boom, market preferences are shifting towards "tangible assets." According to data from the beginning of the year to now, gold, as a traditional safe-haven asset and inflation hedge, has accumulated a rise of 70%, with prices breaking through 4450 USD per ounce, setting a historical high and becoming the strongest performing asset. Meanwhile, copper, regarded as a key material for the global economy and artificial intelligence infrastructure, has risen about 35%, ranking second. In contrast, the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq index of the US stock market have risen 17% and 21% respectively, the 10-year US Treasury bond has fallen 9%, the US dollar index has dropped nearly 10%, while Bitcoin has decreased by about 6%.

Strategy has recently significantly expanded its USD reserve fund, prompting the market to reassess its financial security. The company announced an additional cash reserve of approximately 748 million USD, bringing the total USD reserve size close to 2.2 billion USD. This fund was first disclosed last December, with its core purpose being to cover dividend expenditures related to preferred shares, which are an important tool used by Strategy for financing and continuously increasing its Bitcoin holdings. From a financial structure perspective, this US dollar reserve is currently sufficient to cover about 31 months of medium-term debt expenditures. Meanwhile, of the approximately 8 billion dollars in debt accumulated by Strategy, most is concentrated in maturities beyond three years, with the earliest repayment time set for 2028. This timing mismatch has significantly alleviated the market's concerns about its liquidity risk in the short term. Analyst James Van Straten pointed out that the core objective of this move is to ease market panic regarding bankruptcy risks and the potential exclusion from the MSCI index.

According to ChainCatcher news, Markus Thielen, an analyst at Matrixport, stated that gold prices have repeatedly hit new highs, achieving nearly 80% excess returns relative to Bitcoin over the past year, with remarkable performance in phases. From a macro perspective, the weakening of the US dollar, asset diversification, and the demand for value-storing assets remain several key lines in the current market. However, in this round of market trends, excess returns have been more concentrated in traditional hedging assets like gold, which corresponds to falling interest rates, declining inflation, and an increasing expectation that the market will turn more dovish on the Federal Reserve in 2026. Although BlackRock has been strengthening the narrative of Bitcoin as "digital gold" in recent years, central banks around the world still prioritize gold in their reserve asset allocation. Due to its high volatility, exposure, and certain political sensitivities, Bitcoin is currently difficult to be widely included in official reserve assets. In the medium to long term, the United States

This is one of the largest deals the company has made to significantly expand its data center capacity to support its AI business.

This acquisition aims to secure more power for Google's data centers. According to previous media reports, Google has held a minority stake in this energy supplier by partnering with Intersect to build a large power plant near its data center campus last year.

Exness strategist Maria Agustina Patti pointed out that the 10-year US Treasury yield is currently close to 4.16%, providing some support for the dollar. As the end of the year approaches, market liquidity continues to thin, increasing the risk of short-term fluctuations in the forex and bond markets.

Due to the delay in the passage of the U.S. Clarity Act, prolonged regulatory uncertainty, and concerns about Whale dumping, there has been a significant capital withdrawal from digital asset investment products. The latest data shows that the net outflow of funds from related investment vehicles reached $952 million in a single week, marking the first negative turn after four consecutive weeks of inflows, indicating a notable weakening of market sentiment. From a regional distribution perspective, this round of capital outflow is almost entirely concentrated in the U.S. market. U.S. related digital asset products recorded a net outflow of approximately $990 million, becoming the core source of global capital withdrawal. In contrast, Canada and Germany recorded capital inflows of approximately $46.2 million and $15.6 million, respectively, providing limited hedging against the overall outflow. This structural difference indicates that investors' concerns about the regulatory outlook in the U.S. are dominating market sentiment.

The document shows that the ETF will stake SUI tokens through one or more staking service providers in the future, but the specific staking fees have not yet been disclosed.

The Bank of Japan recently announced an increase in the benchmark interest rate to the highest level in nearly 30 years, but the market response was unexpected. After the announcement of the interest rate hike, the yen not only failed to strengthen but also experienced a rapid depreciation, reaching new local lows against the US dollar, euro, and Swiss franc. This trend forced the Japanese government to urgently state that it would take "appropriate measures" to address the excessive and one-sided fluctuations in the forex market. Data shows that the USD/JPY once rose to around 157.67, while the EUR/JPY and CHF/JPY respectively reached 184.90 and 198.08. Officials from the Japanese Ministry of Finance warned that if the USD/JPY further approaches the 160 level, the likelihood of official intervention will significantly increase. The yen continues to weaken, which has clearly deviated from the original intention of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike policy aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate.

PANews December 20 News, according to Jintiao reports, China Merchants Bank released a research report stating that on December 19, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the policy rate up to 0.75%. Although the Bank of Japan is highly likely to maintain a restrained pace of rate hikes, the reversal of yen liquidity and the Japanese bond market will still exert pressure on global financial conditions. First, the yen carry trade may continue to reverse, forming a long-term suppression of global asset liquidity. By the end of 2024, approximately $9 trillion in positions will still be based on low-interest yen liquidity, and this liquidity is expected to gradually shrink as the US-Japan interest rate differential narrows. Second, the risk in Japanese bonds may further intensify. In the short term, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's government approved a supplementary fiscal budget equivalent to 2.8% of nominal GDP. In the long term, Japan plans to increase defense spending to 3% of nominal GDP and permanently exempt consumption tax. Japan's untimely fiscal expansion stance may trigger greater market instability.
