Author of The Big Short and well-known investor Michael Burry recently issued a strong warning regarding the Federal Reserve's plan to purchase $40 billion worth of T-bills within a month. He believes that this move exposes the structural fragility of the U.S. banking system rather than stability as perceived by the outside world. At the same time, this policy direction could create new downward pressure on Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that this bond purchase is a "reserve management operation" and not quantitative easing (QE). However, Burry pointed out that the Fed has continued to expand its balance sheet while the banking system is under pressure, indicating that the market still struggles to move away from liquidity support. He emphasized that bank reserves have now exceeded $3 trillion, far above the $2.2 trillion level before the 2023 regional banking crisis. He warned that if the banking system must rely on such a large "lifeline" of liquidity, it is not strong but fragile.

Bitcoin prices plummeted to $89,000 during Asian trading hours, approaching the $80,000 mark at one point, dragging the total cryptocurrency market capitalization down from $3.22 trillion to $3.06 trillion, a loss of $160 billion in a single day. As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but disagreements within the FOMC and Powell's hawkish stance became the core reasons for the sharp market correction. The meeting minutes revealed that several officials opposed the rate cut, and Powell further indicated that the Fed might pause rate cuts until January 2026. This hawkish signal quickly dampened risk asset sentiment. Additionally, the Fed announced it would purchase up to $40 billion in Treasury securities within 30 days. Although officials emphasized that this was not quantitative easing (QE), the market widely viewed this move as exposing liquidity pressures. Gold prices subsequently rose, and analysts warned that the banking system could face deeper risks.

ChainCatcher News, Camp Network announces that it will be the first to introduce the prediction market model into the music festival IP sector. The first event will kick off this weekend at the DWP Music Festival, which has over 90,000 participants. Music fans can predict live performance trends of headline artists such as Skrillex, Calvin Harris, and Steve Angello in real-time. Camp Network stated that this move marks the first time that the prediction market sector, valued in the tens of billions of dollars, is integrated with large-scale music festival scenarios. While traditional predictions mainly focus on sports events, Camp Network's innovative approach will provide fans with a brand-new interactive experience. The platform plans to expand this model to 50 countries worldwide.

BlockBeats News, December 10 — After investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build the most expensive team in tech history for months, Meta CEO Zuckerberg is now deeply involved in daily R&D and is pushing the company's strategy toward directly monetizable AI models. According to sources, a new model codenamed "Avocado" is expected to be released in Spring 2026 and may be launched in a closed-source manner (i.e., strictly controlled by Meta and sold for access). This move marks a significant deviation from Meta's long-standing advocacy of an open-source approach. Zuckerberg is dedicating a large amount of time to a core team called TBD Lab, which, during the training of Avocado, even integrated third-party models including Google Gemma, OpenAIgpt-oss, and Alibaba Qwen. Meanwhile, M

According to BlockBeats news, on December 10th, CryptoQuant analyst Axel posted on social media that Bitcoin has regained its bullish structure after a pullback to $80,000. The move comes against the backdrop of the market almost fully pricing in a third consecutive rate cut by the Fed, which will improve financial conditions and open a window for further asset gains without Powell releasing hawkish surprise signals. Since the peak pullback to the $80,000 range in October, the price has shown a steady upward trend over the past 14 days. The key signal is: the 200-day moving average (DMA) slope (blue histogram) has turned positive for the first time in a month, indicating that short-term bullish momentum has returned. The current price has stood above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, and the trend is confirmed. The 52-week high (orange line) forms a key resistance level – once breached, it will be a follow-up

According to BlockBeats news, on December 10th, Orbit AI, a decentralized space AI network, announced today that its first satellite, OAI Genesis-1, has successfully launched and entered a scheduled low Earth orbit (LEO). Powered by NVIDIA AI cores, Genesis-1 successfully runs a 2.6B parameter AI model for real-time on-satellite analysis of infrared remote sensing data, significantly reducing data acquisition time for disaster warning and maritime monitoring from "hours" to "seconds", while saving 90% of transmission bandwidth costs. By partnering with Nasdaq-listed Powerbank (NASDAQ: SUUN), space solar energy can also be further leveraged to reduce operating costs by 60%. In the context of global giants' layout of space computing, this move marks Orbit AI's pioneering

At a time when market activity is slowing down, the SUI ecosystem has ushered in a favorable critical infrastructure. SUI officially announced that ZenLedger has been integrated into the network to provide users with automated tax processing, accounting tools, and audit compliance processes. The service covers more than 300 exchanges and 40 blockchains, making it one of the most comprehensive financial reporting solutions for current SUI users. This move targets the complex tax filing problem that has long plagued crypto traders, laying the foundation for SUI to attract a wider range of retail and institutional investors. Despite the positive progress in ecological construction, short-term data presents mixed signals. SUI's total DeFi value locked has decreased slightly by 1% in the past 24 hours, maintaining at $923 million, indicating stable funds but not expanding. The scale of lock-up is still considerable, which strengthens the confidence of long-term holders, but the incremental funds of the overall ecosystem have not yet returned.

Bitwise announced that its $1.25 billion Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund has been officially approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to upgrade from an over-the-counter (OTC) to a regulated exchange-traded product (ETP) and has begun trading on NYSE Arca. This move marks a further step towards mainstream financial markets for U.S. crypto asset index products, which is expected to attract more institutional investors to participate. The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund is the second fully regulated multi-asset crypto ETP in the United States, having previously been listed by Grayscale in 2024. The fund has been operating as an OTC product since its launch in 2020, and this upgrade will significantly enhance market accessibility, enabling financial advisors, retirement platforms, and institutional investors to allocate crypto assets within the framework of traditional exchanges.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pointed out in its latest "Understanding Stablecoins" report that stablecoins pegged to the US dollar may cause currency substitution and capital outflow risks in vulnerable emerging markets, weakening local currency stability. However, several experts say that the current stablecoin market size is still not enough to have a significant impact on the global macroeconomy. The report highlights that stablecoins may bypass traditional financial intermediaries, thereby circumventing capital flow management measures (CFMs), making it easier for funds to move across borders during periods of market panic and accelerating currency depreciation. The combined market value of mainstream stablecoins such as USDT and USDC has reached $264 billion, which is close to France's foreign exchange reserves and surpasses that of many countries such as the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. However, these "dollar equivalents" are more used in cryptocurrency trading than in real-world money management or circumventing regulations.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has recently seen large whale buying, with the two major wallets investing a total of more than $4.2 million, breaking the current bearish sentiment with strong capital inflows. These large holders are not only actively adding to their positions at the current price but also retaining large USDC reserves, hinting at the possibility of continued buying in the future. However, retail investors remain cautious, leaving the market divided between confidence and hesitation. Despite strong inflows, HYPE's technical structure remains weak. The price continues to move along a narrow descending channel, forming lower highs and lows. $35.48 emerged as a key resistance level that failed to break through multiple attempts. The MACD maintains a bearish stance with the line below the signal line and the momentum bar continues to be weak. The RSI is close to 34, which also indicates that sellers are dominant. However, the price is approaching a psychological support zone that has seen multiple rallies in history and could be a key area for bulls to watch in the short term.

MANTRA has officially launched the OM token migration process in preparation for the upcoming network upgrade in mid-January. According to the project's latest announcement, OM holders need to migrate their tokens from the Osmosis network to the MANTRA mainnet to receive the full 4:1 token split rewards after the upgrade. This migration is regarded as a key step in MANTRA's network expansion and performance upgrade, and it is also an important link in the ecosystem to move towards a new stage. To facilitate the migration, MANTRA has suspended the trading and circulation of OM on Osmosis to ensure smooth subsequent mapping, settlement, and splitting processes. Users need to transfer their tokens to the mainnet address by themselves, and holders who fail to complete the migration before the upgrade may not receive the full allocation. This means that active migration becomes necessary for all OM holders to protect their rights.

The French Financial Markets Authority has adjusted its policy to allow the sale of retail crypto index ETNs, removing the requirement for warning labels. Following regulatory changes in the UK and Nordic countries, this move is expected to attract a large number of retail investors and drive capital inflows into the market.

The UK's crypto industry association CryptoUK has joined the US crypto advocacy organization The Digital Chamber. Both parties will share resources and strengthen cross-jurisdictional cooperation to promote the formulation of crypto regulatory rules in the UK and the US. This move, at a critical time for regulatory coordination, will enhance the influence of the industry.

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.

At the recent Bitcoin MENA conference, Michael Saylor made it clear that Strategy (MSTR) will not issue perpetual preferred stock (“digital credit”) in Japan within the next 12 months, stating that the “12-month head start” will be left to Japanese listed company Metaplanet. This move has drawn more attention to Metaplanet’s strategy in the Japanese perpetual preferred stock market, which has long been inactive, with only five companies in all of Japan currently qualified to trade perpetual preferred stock. Metaplanet CEO Simon Groverich pointed out that the company plans to enter this market with two new products, “Mercury” and “Mars,” becoming the sixth and seventh companies in Japan to issue perpetual preferred stock. Among them, Mercury is positioned as the Japanese version of Strategy STRK, with an annualized yield of 4.9%, denominated in yen and convertible, which is much higher than the generally less than 0.5% yield of Japanese bank deposits and money market funds. Mercury is currently in the pre-IPO stage, with the goal of listing in early 2026. The second product, Mars, models Strategy’s short-term high-yield credit product STRC, targeting investors seeking short-term returns.

The Hong Kong government is conducting a public consultation on the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, with plans to complete legislative amendments in 2024. The goal is to achieve automatic exchange of crypto asset transaction tax information by 2028. This move aims to enhance international tax cooperation, combat cross-border tax evasion, and safeguard Hong Kong’s reputation as an international financial center. The public consultation period ends on February 6, 2026.

Over the past year, the U.S. Treasury issued a record $25.4 trillion in T-Bills, bringing the total issuance to $36.6 trillion, with T-Bills accounting for 69.4%. The government is financing long-term debt through short-term debt, causing interest expenses to move in sync with the Federal Reserve's policy rate, which could exacerbate the U.S. debt crisis.

Tether's USDT has been recognized at the Abu Dhabi Global Market as a fiat-referenced token, allowing regulated activities across multiple blockchains. This move expands USDT's use in ADGM, promotes global financial innovation, and strengthens Abu Dhabi's position as a digital financial hub.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has obtained court authorization to compel NFT platform Dapper Labs to submit data on 2,500 users, indicating that the country is significantly stepping up enforcement of cryptocurrency and NFT tax compliance. This move stems from court documents filed in September 2025, aiming to investigate whether users have unreported crypto income. According to the court order, Dapper Labs must provide authorities with identity information and transaction records of specific users. Although the CRA initially requested data on about 18,000 accounts, the scope was narrowed to 2,500 users after negotiations. Notably, Dapper Labs itself has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Its products include well-known NFT projects such as NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties.

PANews, December 8—Alan Howard's hedge fund Brevan Howard currently has 150 employees in Abu Dhabi and is committed to staying there for the long term. It is currently the largest institution operating in Abu Dhabi. He stated that the Gulf city is rapidly rising and is expected to stand alongside Western financial centers such as London and New York, becoming a global financial hub. "A few years ago, I thought it would become the 'third pole' alongside New York and London. Now, I think it is fully heading in that direction." He explained that as more asset management companies and banks move in, trading volumes across various asset classes continue to rise, which creates a flywheel effect: for every fund manager working here, three to four professionals from service providers are also brought in. Nevertheless, much of the infrastructure and core talent supporting the hedge fund industry still remains concentrated in traditional centers. However, Howard

The digital asset trading platform BYEX has begun a comprehensive business contraction and is preparing to cease operations due to force majeure factors and long-term strategic adjustments. Users are required to transfer their assets before December 31, 2025. Analysts point out that this move reflects the regulatory uncertainty and competitive pressures faced by mid-sized trading platforms.

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.

VTB, Russia's second-largest bank, is planning to launch a regulated spot cryptocurrency trading service in 2026, targeting high-net-worth and qualified investors. This move marks the first official entry of a major Russian bank into the spot cryptocurrency market, and also indicates that Russia is accelerating the implementation of its digital asset regulatory framework under the pressure of international sanctions. According to local media reports on December 3, VTB has already begun testing crypto trading services with select high-net-worth clients. The bank emphasized that in the future, this service will be limited to qualified investors who meet specific portfolio size or income standards and will not be fully open to the general public. The move aims to provide a diversified asset allocation channel for a limited range of clients under controllable regulatory conditions.

Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD recently saw its market cap on Ethereum rise to around $1.1 billion, making it one of the fastest-growing cross-chain stablecoins. This breakthrough has attracted widespread attention in the crypto industry, with analysts believing that multi-chain deployment has become one of Ripple’s most important strategic decisions this year. Analyst Wendy O pointed out that deploying RLUSD on both Ethereum and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is Ripple’s “smartest move,” as the crypto industry is moving toward a comprehensive multi-chain ecosystem. She believes that more and more projects will follow RLUSD’s approach to enhance the usability and cross-chain interoperability of their own assets.

According to Jinse Finance, ECB Executive Board member Schnabel supports raising interest rates, believes that borrowing costs have reached an appropriate level, and that economic and inflation risks are tilted to the upside, suggesting that the economic forecast may be raised in December.

Odaily Planet Daily News: International remittance giant Western Union has announced the launch of a payment card that supports stablecoin preloading, currently targeting countries and regions with severe inflation. The move aims to further expand the integration of digital assets into its payment services strategy. Western Union CFO Matthew Cagwin stated that the card is mainly designed to provide greater purchasing power stability, especially in economies experiencing significant currency devaluation, such as Argentina, where inflation exceeded 200% last year. Stablecoin cards denominated in US dollars can help remittance recipients better preserve value. In addition, Western Union revealed that it is still preparing to launch the USD payment token USDPT, a stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana network, previously planned for launch in 2026.

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...

Layer-2 network Base has officially integrated with the Solana ecosystem, launching the Base-Solana bridge, which leverages Chainlink’s CCIP protocol to enable seamless cross-chain transfers of SOL and other Solana assets. This move transforms Base from an Ethereum-focused Layer-2 network into a major liquidity hub, greatly enhancing interoperability between the two ecosystems. The Base-Solana bridge ensures security through a multi-layer validation model, with Base’s backing CEX and Chainlink CCIP nodes acting as independent validators to verify all token transfer messages. This mechanism effectively safeguards cross-chain asset security. Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer of Chainlink Labs, stated that with Chainlink CCIP, Base is driving the industry toward a more reliable standard of interoperability.

Woori Bank recently added a Bitcoin (BTC) price display to its main trading floor in Seoul, presenting this crypto asset alongside core financial indicators such as the KRW-USD exchange rate, government bond yields, and stock market indices. This makes it the first commercial bank in South Korea to integrate cryptocurrency market data into a frontline trading environment. Bank officials stated that Bitcoin now serves as an important “market sentiment indicator.” As digital assets gain greater influence in global financial markets, including them in traders’ daily monitoring helps provide a more comprehensive assessment of risk appetite and cross-market linkages. This move also reflects the accelerated advancement of digital asset infrastructure within South Korea’s banking system.

After President Trump’s official pardon, CZ is shifting his strategic focus back to the US market and has publicly expressed his vision of helping the US become the global center for cryptocurrency innovation. According to information from a private launch event at Blockchain Week in Dubai on December 3-4, CZ believes the US has become an “emerging market for CEX” and plans to increase investment once the regulatory environment improves. CZ stated that he is “very grateful” for Trump’s pardon, noting that the move allows his exchange to operate more freely on a global scale, especially in regaining strategic initiative in the US market.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed the deadlines for the disclosure of short selling and securities lending information to January and September 2028, respectively.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Defiant, Solana lending protocol Kamino has faced criticism for blocking users from transferring loans via Jupiter Lend's refinancing tool. Kamino manually blacklisted the on-chain address of Jupiter Lend’s newly launched Refinance tool, preventing users from closing positions through that address. Kash Dhanda, a core contributor at Jupiter, expressed his dissatisfaction about this on X. Fluid, a DeFi liquidity protocol co-founder Samyak Jain, pointed out that Kamino directly added a checking mechanism to lock users, preventing them from moving to platforms with higher yields. According to DefiLlama data, the total value locked in Solana’s lending markets is approximately 37

In 2025, due to tightening global liquidity, increasing financial stress, and capital outflows, investors have increasingly favored safe-haven assets such as gold, while Bitcoin has come under relative pressure. Spot gold continues to strengthen, currently finding support near $4,000 and is expected to move toward the $4,500 resistance zone. In contrast, Bitcoin has pulled back after reaching an all-time high in October and, constrained by tight financing and market leverage pressures, is currently seeking a rebound at the key $80,000 support level. Macroeconomic factors have led to a clear divergence between the two: the overnight financing rate (SOFR) is near 4.0%, the Treasury General Account (TGA) remains elevated, global liquidity is restricted, and systemic financial stress is rising. Demand for risk assets has weakened, while demand for safe-haven assets has rebounded, pushing gold prices higher. At the same time, financial market volatility and the unwinding of arbitrage trades have exacerbated short-term pressure on Bitcoin.

Franklin Templeton's Solana ETF has received official approval from the New York Stock Exchange Arca (NYSE Arca) and is about to enter the trading phase. This means the fund will soon become one of the newest Solana (SOL) spot ETFs on the US market, competing with six existing SOL funds for the attention of institutional and retail investors. According to the latest filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), NYSE Arca has approved the ETF's listing application, which is the final key step before the product begins trading. Franklin Templeton had previously submitted its final regulatory documents, which typically means the fund can be launched on the market within a few days. Notably, the company recently successfully launched an XRP ETF, and the advancement of this SOL ETF is seen as an important move in its proactive strategy to expand into crypto assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded sharply this week, reclaiming the \$90,000 level after a brutal 35% correction, driven by improving sentiment around institutional access. The recovery has refocused attention on the psychologically important \$100,000 mark. BTC rose over 16% from a local low near \$80,600, gaining momentum after Vanguard confirmed it will allow ETFs and mutual funds holding cryptocurrencies to trade on its platform. This move, seen as a step toward mainstream crypto adoption, part

The UK Parliament has passed the "Property (Digital Assets, etc.) Act," officially recognizing cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as personal property, marking a significant breakthrough for the legal status of digital assets in the UK. This week, the Act received Royal Assent from King Charles, making it officially effective and granting digital assets the same legal protection as traditional property, removing them from the legal gray area. The move has been widely welcomed by the industry. The Bitcoin Policy UK organization called the Act a "major step forward," while the industry body CryptoUK stated that by codifying previous case law into statutory law, Parliament has provided a clear legal basis for the ownership of digital assets. Previously, while common law had sporadically recognized digital tokens as property, there was a lack of uniform standards.

The latest report from Glassnode shows that the Bitcoin market is entering a more mature cycle, with a significant increase in institutional participation, decreased market volatility, and rapid expansion in the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA). Data indicates that approximately $732 billion in new capital has been absorbed this cycle, and one-year realized volatility has nearly halved, demonstrating sustained improvement in market stability. In the past 90 days, Bitcoin’s on-chain settlement volume was about $6.9 trillion, on par with payment giants such as Visa and Mastercard. Although some trading has shifted to ETFs and brokerage channels, on-chain transactions still dominate. Capital inflows into regulated ETFs are driving funds to move through traditional channels, enhancing market liquidity and reducing spot volatility.
