Analysts predict that this week’s Federal Reserve meeting could become a key catalyst for a new round of Bitcoin gains. After Bitcoin broke above $92,000 on Monday, London Crypto Club analysts David Brickell and Chris Mills noted in a report that the Fed may inject more liquidity into the banking system on Wednesday, thereby boosting risk assets, including Bitcoin. The two analysts predict that the Fed will adopt a more dovish policy stance and expand its balance sheet through an implicit bond-buying program. They believe that, with interest rate cuts combined with liquidity expansion, “the money printer is restarting,” which will provide a strong structural boost for Bitcoin. They expect that in this policy environment, Bitcoin prices are likely to “rise significantly,” breaking out of the current range and heading for higher levels.

The Cardano ecosystem has undergone a key upgrade, with major CEXs officially supporting Midnight network’s native token NIGHT, drawing strong attention from the market. Following the announcement, ADA’s price surged over 4% within just a few hours, with trading volume rising sharply and overall market sentiment turning noticeably positive. On December 8, the exchange announced the listing of Midnight’s NIGHT token and stated that eligible users could claim an airdrop via Alpha points after trading opens on December 9. More details regarding asset support and trading pairs will be released gradually. According to Midnight’s official response, listing the NIGHT token on the platform will not only expand its user base but also promote the adoption of Web3 privacy technology and accelerate global acceptance of zero-knowledge privacy networks.

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.

This week's Federal Reserve policy meeting is in the spotlight, with investors closely watching for differences over rate cuts and future signals from Powell. The market has largely priced in expectations of rate cuts, making policy guidance the key focus. Economists warn that the market may be underestimating the risk of no rate cuts.

PANews, December 8—According to the official announcement from Web3 robotics company XMAQUINA, proposal XMQ-02 has been officially approved, securing over 19 million votes and a support rate exceeding 96%. The proposal aims to allocate 128,067,280 DEUS tokens (about 12.8% of the total supply) and $150,000 USDC for the Token Generation Event (TGE), to be used for community presale, liquidity support, and key ecosystem development initiatives. The main allocation plans include: Community Presale: 110 million DEUS tokens (11% of total supply) will be allocated for the final round of community presale, raising funds to expand the DAO's equity investments in leading humanoid robotics companies. Liquidity and Ecosystem Growth: 18,067,280 DEUS tokens (1.8% of total supply) and $150,000 USDC will be allocated for exchange listing fees and liquidity support.

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.

With Bitcoin holding above $91,000, XRP has seen strong buying interest at the $2 psychological level. Latest data shows that after breaking through a key support, XRP's trading volume surged by 251% around $2, reflecting institutional funds absorbing market liquidity at this price point. The US spot XRP ETF continues to demonstrate strong appeal, with cumulative inflows exceeding $1 billion since its launch, making it the fastest-growing altcoin ETF. Although retail interest remains subdued, institutional demand is steadily expanding. The growth in ETF inflows has effectively offset the decline in open interest in the derivatives market, making the capital environment more favorable for long-term allocation.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of StarkWare and co-founder of Zcash, stated on the X platform that in his first conversation with Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, he explained Starknet's mission to promote the development of the Bitcoin economy. In addition, another topic they discussed was privacy. Saylor believes that Bitcoin should not have privacy features, or at least should not adopt a privacy model similar to Zcash, as this would give sovereign states a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagrees. Ben-Sasson believes that it is possible to balance both, i.e., to provide privacy protection while allowing for key viewing. They also exchanged views on OPCAT. Saylor is concerned that changes

Every day, we curate the most important news from the global crypto market to help you quickly grasp key trends, save time, and gain early insights. 1. Hassett: The Fed May Cut Rates at Next Meeting, Expected Decrease of About 25 Basis Points Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, stated that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates at its next meeting, and the expected cut is about 25 basis points. Regarding the next Fed Chair candidate, he said the Chair needs to be someone who responds to data.

Bitcoin has continued to face pressure during its month-long downtrend and has once again failed to break through a key trendline. The lack of clear bullish signals in the macro market keeps Bitcoin's short-term outlook uncertain. However, on-chain data shows that investors have begun to accelerate accumulation at lower price levels. According to Glassnode data, over the past week, more than 23,385 BTC (worth over $2.15 billion) have been withdrawn from exchanges, driving exchange reserves down to their lowest level since January 2021. Exchange outflows typically indicate an increase in long-term holding intentions and a reduction in selling pressure, which helps support a potential rebound.

The European Commission has officially proposed transferring the direct supervisory authority over all crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) from member states to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), making its role in crypto regulation more akin to that of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This reform aims to eliminate regulatory fragmentation among the 27 member states and establish a unified, efficient, and consistent cross-border regulatory framework for the EU crypto market. This legislative proposal was released nine months after the announcement of the Savings and Investment Union Strategy. The strategy emphasizes that, amid intensifying global capital competition and the continued expansion of U.S. financial markets, Europe needs to accelerate the integration of its capital markets. Regulatory centralization is seen as a key means to enhance cross-border efficiency.

In the past two weeks, Ethereum (ETH) has strongly outperformed Bitcoin (BTC), with both capital flows and price structure indicating that market sentiment is clearly shifting towards ETH. The latest data shows that spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of $360 million during the same period, while Bitcoin ETFs saw only $120 million—a threefold difference that highlights investors’ growing preference for the Ethereum ecosystem. In terms of price performance, ETH recently broke through the key resistance level of $3,200, completing a daily structure reversal, which means the trend has entered a new upward phase. Meanwhile, BTC still needs to break above $96,000 to confirm a breakout, giving ETH a structural advantage in terms of trend.

On Thursday evening, global risk assets remained generally stable as traders awaited the release of a key inflation indicator—the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index—on Friday. This data will directly affect the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on December 10, and the market currently expects an 87% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut. In US stock futures, Dow Jones and S&P 500 index futures were nearly flat, while Nasdaq futures rose 0.1%. The core PCE for September is expected to increase by 2.9% year-over-year, marking the 55th consecutive month above the Fed’s 2% target, which further increases uncertainty around the policy path.

Bitcoin continued to trade sideways near $92,000 on Friday, failing once again overnight to break through $93,000, which further solidified the recent consolidation range. The current market structure is still dominated by bears suppressing prices in the mid-$93,000 range and bulls providing support around $91,000, but neither side has enough momentum to establish a clear trend. Looking at the past month, Bitcoin remains in a downward structure since the early November high, and the recent rebound has even formed a lower high, suggesting that the corrective trend remains unbroken. The weak momentum and rapid pullback after rebounds indicate that liquidity above $93,200 is still thin. If $91,000 is breached, key support lies in the $90,000–$90,500 range; to the upside, a breakout above $93,200 is needed to reverse the short-term downtrend.

Dogecoin (DOGE) declined again in the latest trading session, as the optimism brought by the ETF frenzy failed to reverse the weak market structure. Although 21Shares and Grayscale have successively filed for spot DOGE ETFs, briefly boosting network activity, the price still broke through key support levels, indicating that technical selling is dominating the trend. On-chain data shows that active DOGE addresses once rose to 71,589, the highest level since September, reflecting increased user participation. However, whale transactions remain sluggish, and there has been no significant ETF-related capital inflow. The sharp contrast between improving fundamentals and weak prices highlights the impact of declining market risk appetite.

According to Gate News Bot, as of December 5, citing CoinMarketCap data, DCR (Decred) is currently priced at $22.40, up 14.89% in 24 hours, reaching a high of $25.60 and a low of $18.25, with a 24-hour trading volume of $17.4 million.

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.

BlockBeats News, December 4—Wolfe Research stated that now is a good time to buy cryptocurrencies on dips. The current crypto market is showing a clear divergence between bulls and bears, creating a potential buying opportunity. The firm still expects Bitcoin’s interim bottom to be around $75,000, even after Bitcoin rebounds and regains the $90,000 level. However, Wolfe also pointed out that Bitcoin ETF inflows remain weak and digital assets overall continue to be under widespread downward pressure. From a technical perspective, the crypto market has returned to a key long-term support area, which has served as a turning point for prices multiple times in the past. Momentum indicators are improving, and Bitcoin’s current rebound is seen as constructive. Wolfe believes the next major test is the 50-day moving average at $101,000.

We curate the most important global crypto market news every day to help you quickly grasp key trends, save time, and gain early insights. 1. Crypto Market Rally Returns, ETF Inflows Hit $1.1 Billion—Highest in 7 Weeks KobeissiLetter released a market analysis noting that cryptocurrency ETFs are making a comeback. Last week, crypto funds saw $1.1 billion in inflows, the highest in 7 weeks, marking a reversal after 4 consecutive weeks of outflows totaling $4.7 billion. US crypto ETFs led with $994 million in inflows, followed by Canada ($98 million) and Switzerland ($24 million), while Germany saw $57 million in outflows. Bitcoin led the inflows with a net inflow of $461 million, followed by ETH with $308 million. Meanwhile, investors withdrew $1.9 billion from short Bitcoin ETPs. The momentum in the crypto market is returning.

This week, both Bitcoin and Ethereum saw significant rebounds, but XRP continued to fluctuate within a narrow range since mid-November. Despite an on-chain indicator—typically signaling a bullish trend—reaching a three-month high, the price has yet to break out. The key reason behind this lies in the divergence between long-term holder behavior and the overall on-chain structure. On-chain data shows that the number of spent tokens has dropped sharply over the past month, plunging 91% from 186.36 million XRP on November 15 to around 16.32 million currently, the lowest level in three months. The reduction of older supply means that market selling pressure has dropped significantly, which usually helps prices stabilize or even rebound. Therefore, the rise in dormancy to a three-month high should have been a positive sign.

Arbitrum (ARB) has surged over 11% in the past 24 hours, outperforming most altcoins. This rebound comes as the overall cryptocurrency market has recovered by about 7%, and also reflects a notable recent increase in Arbitrum network activity. With on-chain metrics improving, whether ARB is bottoming out has become a key focus for the market. On the 4-hour chart, ARB appears to have formed a double bottom pattern after the previous day’s decline. Bulls pushed the price from $0.19 to $0.24, but the $0.24 area now serves as a critical neckline. Only a decisive breakout above this level will confirm a structural reversal for ARB and open up room for a rally to $0.311.

Foresight News: Web3 robotics company XMAQUINA has released a governance proposal in preparation for the DEUS token TGE. The proposal seeks DAO approval to allocate the remaining genesis auction supply: 128,067,280 DEUS (approximately 12.8% of the total supply) and $150,000 USDC from the DAO treasury to key initiatives preparing for the DEUS Token Generation Event, including: conducting a final community sale before the TGE, allocating up to 110 million DEUS (11% of the total supply) for the sale, with the sale date and details to be officially announced within the next 10 days in collaboration with strategic launch partners; approximately 1.8% of the total supply will be allocated for liquidity and exchange listings. The proposal states that the main goal of this sale is to

Ethereum price has risen 5% within 24 hours, reclaiming the $3,200 mark, with market sentiment significantly improving. This surge is mainly driven by two factors: the official launch of the Fusaka upgrade and continued accumulation by whales and "shark wallets." Fusaka, Ethereum's second major upgrade this year, has been officially launched. The core change is the introduction of PeerDAS technology, which allows validators to process smaller data segments, increases network throughput efficiency, and significantly reduces transaction costs. This upgrade marks a key step forward for Ethereum's scalability and long-term performance goals, and has received positive feedback from both developers and the user community.

The BONK team has announced a comprehensive overhaul of its platform fee structure, aiming to significantly increase the amount of DAT tokens purchased by Bonk Holdings Inc. (BNKK) and thereby expand its long-term holdings. This move is seen as a key step forward for the BONK ecosystem in terms of governance and asset accumulation. According to Bonk.fun, effective immediately, 51% of all platform fees collected will be used to support BNKK in purchasing DAT tokens—a dramatic increase from the previous allocation of just 10%. To achieve this, the platform has reallocated 35% of funds previously used for "buy and burn," as well as resources from SBR and BONK rewards, while keeping the community budget unchanged. The team emphasized that although the use of fees is changing, the overall buy pressure on BONK will not be reduced.

The latest security report from Ledger reveals that the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 smartphone chip, used in Solana Seeker and several other devices, contains a severe hardware flaw. This vulnerability could allow attackers to gain full control of the device and extract users’ crypto private keys after obtaining physical access. Since the issue originates from the chip itself, the vulnerability cannot be fixed through software patches, posing a widespread and long-term security risk. Ledger researchers stated that, in their tests, they successfully attacked the chip’s boot phase using an "electromagnetic fault injection" method, bypassing protection mechanisms and obtaining full system access. Once compromised, all sensitive data on the device is left completely unprotected. This vulnerability is especially significant for the Solana Seeker phone, which touts crypto applications as a core selling point.

Entrée Capital has officially announced the launch of a new $300 million fund, focusing on investments in AI Agents, Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), and regulated Web3 infrastructure. This move marks an acceleration of institutional capital flowing into blockchain systems capable of deeply integrating with modern technology stacks, especially as AI and crypto-native infrastructure rapidly converge. According to Entrée Capital, the fund will focus on investing in projects from the seed to Series A stages, targeting entrepreneurial teams driving the mainstream adoption of blockchain infrastructure. Key areas include AI agents capable of autonomous asset management within crypto strategy frameworks, as well as DePIN networks that coordinate, finance, and operate real-world infrastructure through token incentive mechanisms. These areas are seen as core technologies driving the next wave of large-scale adoption.

The first Chainlink ETF (ticker GLNK) launched by Grayscale recorded over $41 million in inflows on its first day of trading, making it one of the most impressive new crypto asset products in the current market. Despite the overall downturn in the crypto market over the past two months, GLNK has still demonstrated strong capital-attracting ability, drawing significant interest from investors focused on data oracle ecosystems and tokenization infrastructure. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, GLNK's first-day performance was “exceptionally strong.” The product's assets under management once rose to $64 million, and first-day trading volume was also active, indicating that investor interest in Chainlink as a key infrastructure asset is growing rapidly. He further noted that given the current weakness in the crypto market, GLNK’s achievement is particularly impressive, highlighting both institutional and retail investors’ long-term recognition of the oracle sector.

Bitcoin briefly broke above $93,000, boosting the entire crypto market, but several traders warned that this move could be a “false breakout,” as market structure remains fragile and volatility is still high. The core focus of the current market is whether Bitcoin can stabilize within the key support range of $90,000–$91,000. Analysts pointed out that Bitcoin quickly pulled back after breaking $93,000, indicating a lack of bullish momentum. Bitunix analysts stated that the current trend “looks more like a choppy correction” and noted that $93,200 has become a new resistance level. If Bitcoin falls below the key support zone, downside risks may increase again.

PANews, December 4—Following its previous $12 million subscription for 20 million GNK tokens, Bitfury has announced an official increase in its overall strategic investment in Gonka to $50 million, making it one of the key pillars of this decentralized AI computing power network.

ChainCatcher reports that SlowMist’s Yu Xian (@evilcos) has issued a warning about Web3 job seekers encountering malicious code traps during interviews. In this incident, an attacker impersonated @seracleofficial and asked the candidate to review and run code from Bitbucket. After the victim cloned the code, the program immediately scanned all local .env files and stole sensitive information such as private keys. SlowMist pointed out that this type of backdoor is a typical stealer, capable of collecting browser-saved passwords, crypto wallet mnemonics, private keys, and other private data. Experts emphasize that any review of suspicious code must be conducted in an isolated environment and not run directly on a real device to avoid attacks.
