PANews, December 9—According to CoinDesk, Shielded Labs has put forward a new proposal to establish a dynamic fee market for Zcash, aiming to address rising transaction costs and network congestion. The proposal suggests abandoning Zcash’s longstanding static fee model—initially set at 10,000 “zatoshi,” later reduced to 1,000. While this model worked under low demand, it eventually led to a “sandblasting” spam transaction wave, resulting in wallet congestion and on-chain transaction blockage. Previously, the ZIP-317 proposal adopted an operation-based accounting method, which solved the abuse problem, but fees remained predictable and low, unable to adjust based on usage. The latest proposal introduces a simple, stateless dynamic fee design built around “comparables,” observing the past 50 blocks

The digital asset ETP market recorded $716 million in inflows last week, indicating a significant improvement in investor risk appetite. Total assets under management (AUM) rose to $180 billion, rebounding 7.9% from the November low. Although the overall scale remains below the historical peak of $264 billion, net inflows have been maintained for two consecutive weeks, reflecting a gradual recovery in market confidence. In terms of regional distribution, the United States continues to lead, attracting $483 million in inflows. Germany and Canada follow closely, recording $96.9 million and $80.7 million respectively. This indicates that the current wave of capital inflows is spreading globally rather than being driven by a single region.

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.

According to the latest liquidation map data, if the price of Bitcoin rises to $96,900, approximately $9.6 billion in short positions will face liquidation risk. This means that once the market experiences a strong rebound, it could trigger a large-scale short position closing wave, further amplifying price fluctuations. As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at approximately $86,583, having slightly rebounded after earlier dropping below $84,000. The recent increase in Bitcoin's fluctuation is closely related to the rising leverage usage in the derivatives market. More and more traders are betting on price direction in a high-leverage environment, making the market more sensitive to short-term fluctuations.

Arca's Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman stated that the current big dump in the crypto assets market is "the strangest selling wave in history." Despite multiple favourable information factors, the market still lacks buying power, native investors are exhausted, and new funds have failed to get on board, leading to a continuous fall in prices.

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe pointed out that the fall of Bitcoin at the beginning of December is a normal adjustment in the market consolidation, rather than a trend weakness. This wave of decline is mainly influenced by algorithmic trading, lack of liquidity, and the testing of key resistance levels. Van de Poppe stated that the price fluctuations in early December are in line with historical patterns. With the automation trading systems resetting, short-term selling pressure has emerged, especially in the case of weak liquidity, where even moderate sell orders could trigger a price fall. The weakening market liquidity is related to the previous large-scale sell-off, during which many market makers reduced trading activities, resulting in the current market being more sensitive to selling pressure.

XRP price fell to $2 on Monday, sparking traders' interest in the upcoming Spot XRP ETF. In the overall dumping wave of the Crypto Assets market, XRP's decline surpassed that of Ethereum and BNB, primarily influenced by the liquidation of leveraged positions and ETF expectations. Data shows a significant outflow of funds from the sector in the past 12 hours, indicating clear short-term selling pressure. Market analysts point out that this decline was not triggered by any new fundamental events, but rather typical leverage liquidation and "news dumping" effects. Traders view the Spot XRP ETF as a potential bearish factor, similar to the market reaction when Canary Capital and Bitwise launched their products. Historical experience shows that the initial listing of an ETF is often accompanied by short-term price fluctuations, followed by a possible correction.

The crypto assets market experienced its worst falling trend since February at the close of November. The volume on centralized exchanges (CEX) plummeted to $1.59 trillion, a 26.7% month-on-month decline, while Bitcoin ETF recorded a net outflow of $3.48 billion in a single month - the worst performance since February. The price of Bitcoin fell below $86,000 on Monday, plunging 6% during the Asian session, with a cumulative decline of 32% from the October high, triggering over $600 million in liquidations. BTC ($188.5 million) and ETH ($139.6 million) bulls were the hardest hit, and market panic spread.

Tether (USDT) experienced a redemption wave of about 20-25% in 2022 and still fully paid out, outperforming traditional banks like Silicon Valley Bank (25%) and First Republic Bank (57%). Woo pointed out that 77% of Tether's current assets are in cash equivalents, with the rest in gold and Bitcoin, totaling an over-collateralization of 3%. Even if volatile assets fall by 30% in extreme market conditions, USDT still has 95% asset backing.

PANews, November 28 news, according to The Fintech Times, Aishwary Gupta, Global Head of Polygon Payments and Real World Assets, predicts that with the shift in the global financial landscape, stablecoins will usher in a "Supercycle," with the number of issuers potentially skyrocketing to over 100,000 in the next five years. He believes this wave will force traditional banks to fundamentally restructure their capital management practices to avoid being marginalized.

BlockBeats news, on November 24, wealth management company Swissblock stated that current risk aversion signals have sharply declined, and selling pressure has eased, indicating that the worst of the dumping phase may be temporarily over. If risk aversion sentiment is used as a bottom warning indicator, the coming week will be crucial. Investors need to see the selling pressure continue to weaken. Generally, the second wave of dumping (with less intensity than the first wave and prices maintaining at previous lows) will become one of the most reliable bottom signals. The second wave usually marks the exhaustion of sellers, with control returning to long positions.

SoSoValue data shows that last week, the trading volume of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs listed in the United States reached a historic high, with a total trading amount exceeding $40.32 billion, which may indicate a wave of dumping by institutional investors. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT led with a trading volume of $27.79 billion, accounting for nearly 70% of the total trading volume. On just last Friday, the trading volume of these funds exceeded $11.01 billion, with BlackRock's IBIT contributing $8 billion. The record trading activity was accompanied by a sharp drop in Bitcoin prices and large-scale redemptions, indicating that institutional investors are rushing to sell.

Foresight News reports that, according to glassnode analysis, the realized losses of BTC holders have reached the highest level since the FTX crash, with short-term holders being the main drivers of this dumping wave.

BlockBeats news, on November 20, according to CNBC reports, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated, "The encryption world is going to see an ETF feast. I believe there will be more than 100 products launched. We will see a large number of single-asset encryption trading platform products (ETPs). However, what excites me the most is the rise of index-based encryption ETPs." Despite the challenging market, he still believes that index ETPs will be one of the most important stories in the encryption field next year and will ultimately become one of the largest categories of interest for investors. Hougan added, "This industry will be ten times larger in the future than it is now." Bitwise launched on October 28.

BlockBeats news, on November 19, QCP released its daily market observation stating that this week, Bitcoin continued to fall, briefly dropping below the key $90,000 level, due to tightening market expectations for interest rate hikes and ongoing ETF outflows that dampened market sentiment. The thin liquidity further amplified this wave of declines, showing that Bitcoin has become increasingly sensitive to changes in the macro environment. This pullback occurred against the backdrop of the Fed's expectations being rapidly repriced — the market shifted from a nearly certain December rate cut to a roughly balanced probability. This puts pressure on interest rate-sensitive assets like Bitcoin, while the stock market remained relatively stable due to robust corporate earnings reports, particularly from large tech companies (hyperscalers) reporting strong profits and record AI-driven capital expenditures. As the U.S. government reopens and official data is released, it provides the market with essential insights into the momentum of economic fundamentals.

Independent analyst Markus Thielen pointed out that the current Crypto Assets market is experiencing deleveraging, with Ethereum's open contracts halving, indicating a rapid contraction of leveraged funds. Bitcoin is approaching the 93,000 USD support level, and short-term Liquidity may weaken.

The global ETF issuance continues to rise, increasing by 19% year-on-year in October, reaching a record of 137, with a total of 918, surpassing last year's total record. The increase in Crypto Assets ETFs is significant, with expectations to exceed 1,100 by 2025, ushering in a wave of issuance.

The number of Ethereum validators has decreased by approximately 10% since July, marking the first sustained decline, with daily active validators dropping below 1 million.

Wintermute stated that the market has become more balanced after intense volatility. Cryptocurrency performance remains poor, but there are signs of venture capital returning. The DePIN, L2, and AI sectors rebounded, though market breadth is limited. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin need to lead the rebound but have not yet triggered it. The market structure is clear, and the macro environment is favorable. The next wave of volatility may stem from policy and political factors.

CryptoQuant indicates that the stablecoin supply ratio has dropped to a historic low, suggesting a large amount of capital is waiting to enter the market.

Banmu Xiao pointed out that Bitcoin has been in a sideways pattern since August. The current Wave C may be the final wedge, and there is a high risk-reward shorting opportunity between $108,500 and $110,000. If it drops to $95,000, a Y-wave rebound could begin, with a target of over 0.7 for a long opportunity.

On November 5, Jin10 reported that the market capitalization of global chip manufacturers has sharply declined, as investors' concerns over the high valuations of tech stocks deepen. The selling wave led to a combined evaporation of about $500 billion in market capitalization for the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index on Tuesday and the index tracking Asian chip stocks on Wednesday. This big dump highlights that the rise of semiconductor stocks driven by the AI boom has been excessively overdrawn. Since the low point in April, as investors bet on a surge in AI computing demand, the market capitalization of chip manufacturers has increased by several trillion dollars. However, the current pullback reflects the market's growing concerns about the industry’s earnings prospects and excessively high valuations, especially against the backdrop of interest rates potentially being 'higher for longer.' Chris Weston, the research director at Pepperstone Group, stated: 'The entire market is a 'sea of blood,' presenting a gloomy and dull risk landscape. We must keep an open mind and acknowledge that this adjustment may further expand. Currently, there is almost no reason to buy.'

According to a report by Jinse Finance, the latest data from Vetle Lunde, research director at K33 Research, shows that the Bitcoin ETF has risen by $26.9 billion year-to-date. However, $28.1 billion of that comes from BlackRock's IBIT product. This means that excluding IBIT, the overall fund flow for Bitcoin ETFs is actually negative. It is worth noting that BlackRock will be absent from the upcoming altcoin ETF market wave. Analysts believe that this situation provides other competitors with the opportunity to secure strong capital flows, but it may also limit the overall capital scale of the altcoin ETF market.

Tom Lee stated in an interview that the deleveraging event on October 11 had a serious impact on the crypto market, but he anticipates that sentiment will improve.

BlockBeats news, on October 15, after experiencing the severe deleveraging wave sweeping the derivatives market last week - one of the largest chain liquidation events in recent years, the research brokerage firm K33 pointed out that the cryptocurrency market has entered a healthier phase. The company's research director, Vetle Lunde, although calling for patience in the latest report, described this market reset as "constructively bullish," emphasizing that the hidden dangers of excessive leverage that had persisted for months have been cleared, laying the foundation for a new round of pump. "The structural impact brought by deleveraging means that liquidity may remain thin during the period when market participants recover from forced selling," Lunde analyzed. "Historically, such deleveraging phases often lead to short-term stagnation and cautious trading, but they also often mark the market hitting bottom, nurturing fertile ground for long-term recovery."

Odaily News BRN Research Director Timothy Misir stated: "The Bitcoin market is currently in a high-level fluctuation, calm, with strong liquidity, and quietly bullish. Institutional capital flows remain the backbone of this phase, with ETFs acting as a liquidity bridge between TradFi and digital finance. Although fluctuations may occur in the short term, the macro liquidity wave, corporate adoption, and structural capital inflows all indicate that the market will continue to develop." (CoinDesk)

On October 10, Jin10 reported that Shoki Omori, chief strategist at Mizuho Securities, stated that if high market early rice is not elected as Japan's prime minister, and candidates advocating for fiscal tightening and supporting Central Bank interest rate hikes emerge, a wave of "high market trading" closing positions may be triggered. Although the opposition parties have differing opinions, making this a non-mainstream scenario, the market may begin to price in the risk of a policy reversal, which would push down the USD/JPY exchange rate. However, the yen is likely to continue to maintain its funding/arbitrage currency attributes in the short term, and it is expected that this will not lead to the USD/JPY exchange rate falling below the 140 mark.

A report released by State Street shows that more than half of institutional investors expect their exposure to digital assets to double in the next three years, with 60% planning to increase their allocation.

According to data from Deribit, a crypto derivatives exchange under Coinbase, the open interest for short-term Bitcoin options contracts expiring at the end of the year is concentrated around the strike price of the call options. Demand for put options has also seen a modest increase as traders seek downside protection after the rise. "Currently, the nominal open interest for Bitcoin futures and perpetual futures has reached record highs, despite a wave of 'buy to close' liquidations," said Greg Magadini, head of derivatives at Amberdata. "The market's upward momentum has surprised many, and we have not yet seen a peak, especially since many traders had previously shorted the market." (Jin10)
