In the early morning, investors in the global cryptocurrency market turned their attention to Washington, D.C. The Federal Reserve will announce its final interest rate decision of the year on December 10th local time (early morning December 11th Beijing time).
The market is almost unanimous that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the third consecutive time, lowering the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points. However, investors are more concerned that this could be a "hawkish rate cut" — meaning a rate cut accompanied by signals that future easing will pause.
As of December 10th, Bitcoin's price fluctuated sharply, reporting $93,020.42, up 2.63% within 24 hours.

A whale address named "0xFB3B" withdrew approximately 13.44 million ASTER from Binance eight hours ago, worth approximately $13.04 million. This move is in stark contrast to the October market frenzy, when high-profile investors panicked and liquidated their positions on a large scale, resulting in a single-day decline of more than 15%.
The flow of funds has quietly shifted, directly reflected in the trading structure: ASTER spot trading volume currently accounts for 31% of its total trading volume. This ratio is not only a number, but also a key signal for market participants to shift from short-term leveraged speculation to long-term value precipitation.
