Odaily Planet Daily reports that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is proposing significant adjustments to the government's approach to financial regulation and stability. Yellen will recommend changes to the work guidelines of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), promoting a more relaxed regulatory environment and a freer approach. In a letter on Thursday, Yellen wrote: “The Council will collaborate with its member agencies and support their assessment of whether certain aspects of the financial regulatory framework constitute excessive burdens and negatively impact economic growth, thereby undermining financial stability.” FSOC was established after the 2008 financial crisis to monitor and respond to systemic risks, and Yellen serves as the chair of this council. This plan marks a shift away from the long-standing tendency of the council to strengthen regulation. Yellen will also establish a working group “to explore opportunities for AI to enhance the resilience of the financial system, while monitoring the potential risks that AI applications may pose to financial stability.”

Foresight News现场报道，Solana Co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference that the key to growth lies in continuously building products that people need. He emphasized that stablecoins are the current clear direction, with an expectation that 1 to 10 trillion US dollars worth of stablecoins will be on-chain in the future, driving the tokenization and on-chain of approximately 500 trillion US dollars in global assets. He pointed out that the strong property rights protection brought by public chains and cryptography do not conflict with free-market capitalism and Wall Street logic but instead complement each other by eliminating faults and risks through software, allowing the financial scale of Wall Street to expand at a faster pace. He stressed that stablecoins are an expansion rather than a replacement of the US dollar. Layer 1, especially PoS networks, have clear value capture mechanisms. Solana aims to occupy as much as possible in this competitive landscape.

Ethereum (ETH) continues to rise driven by whale accumulation, the flow back of spot ETF funds, and an improvement in market risk appetite. The market is now focusing on whether the end-of-year rally can break through the $4,000 resistance level. As the Federal Reserve policy decision approaches, traders are closely watching macroeconomic conditions and on-chain indicators to assess whether the rally can continue. Recent market data shows that before the FOMC meeting, overall sentiment in the crypto market has improved, with Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin and other mainstream cryptocurrencies. Analysts point out that the price increase is mainly driven by large investors and institutional buying. US spot Ethereum ETFs have seen a rebound in capital inflows this week, reflecting growing institutional interest.

Additionally, overall stock valuations in Greater China are somewhat discounted compared to US stocks, making them attractive.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has formally submitted a petition to the U.S. Senate to withdraw the latest version of the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, citing the "serious risks" it could pose to the pension system, the wealth of working families and the economy as a whole. AFT represents 1.8 million members, and this voice is seen as one of the most direct voices against the impact of crypto legislation in the US public sector. AFT Chairman Randi Weingarten pointed out in the letter that the proposal does not establish the regulatory protections needed to deal with the risks of crypto assets and stablecoins, but may expose pension portfolios that are not currently involved in crypto assets at all to market volatility and regulatory loopholes. She emphasized that once pension and 401(k) plans gain exposure to tokenized assets with inadequate regulation, it could pose a threat to the long-term financial security of retirees.

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.

During the US trading session on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin rose sharply from about $91,000 to more than $94,000 in two hours, an unusual trend that attracted strong attention from the market. The lack of clear positive news has led some traders to point out that this is "textbook manipulation", while others believe there are real macro catalysts behind it. Multiple on-chain analysts noted a rare period of large-scale concentrated buying during the price surge. DeFiTracer data shows that market maker Wintermute bought about $68 million in Bitcoin within an hour, while simultaneous buying orders from multiple major exchanges were also seen as a "synergistic push" by some researchers. Trader NoLimitGains noted that this rally is characterized by typical manipulation: extremely thin order books, large market orders pouring in in a short period of time, and a lack of subsequent structured buying. He believes that "a real bull market builds structure, and artificial push only leaves traps."

Tidal Trust has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the industry's first "Bitcoin AfterDark ETF" (Bitcoin AfterDark ETF), which aims to capture Bitcoin's price fluctuations during non-trading hours in the United States. The product is designed to hold Bitcoin only at night, while switching to Treasury bonds and money market funds during the day to improve the overall return-risk ratio. According to the application documents, the overnight ETF will buy Bitcoin after the US stock market closes and sell quickly after the opening of the next day. Daytime assets are allocated to low-risk instruments such as U.S. Treasuries and cash. While the ETF may be full of Bitcoin overnight in terms of overnight nominal positions, its capital structure is more defensive during the day.

BlockBeats news, on December 10, Trump posted on Truth Social: “No president has ever worked as hard as I have! I have worked the longest hours, and my achievements are the most outstanding. I ended eight wars, saving millions of lives; I created the greatest economy in our nation’s history; I brought businesses back to America on an unprecedented scale; I rebuilt our military; I implemented the largest tax cuts and deregulation in history; I closed the open and extremely dangerous southern border, something previous administrations failed to do; I gave America a certain ‘aura’ that made other countries respect us more than ever before.” “In addition, I specifically underwent a long, thorough, and tedious physical examination, personally checked and supervised by top doctors. All the doctors gave me perfect scores—some even said they had never seen such a..."

Bitcoin (BTC) price has recently stabilized around $92,200, with selling pressure easing, but market demand remains weak. According to SoSoValue data, US ETF capital flows have stabilized for the first time in weeks, with an inflow of $56.5 million on December 9, while weekly redemptions in November had exceeded $1.1 billion. Glassnode analysis shows that the market recovery is limited, with the spot CVD indicator still deeply negative, derivatives positions leaning defensive, and on-chain transaction activity near the lower end of the range. Short-term holders are dominating the market, making the price highly sensitive to volatility. Technical indicators suggest that Bitcoin’s price structure remains weak. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has retreated to the mid-range, reflecting a correction from last week’s highs. Futures open interest has declined, volatility spreads have sharply contracted, and option skew indicates traders are more focused on downside protection rather than betting on upward gains. The number of active on-chain addresses is near the cycle low, with actual market cap growth at only 0.7%, indicating limited capital inflow and a fragile supply structure. Overall, the recent rebound is mainly due to seller exhaustion rather than strong buying support.

Putin pointed out at an investment forum that the development of new payment tools is inevitable, especially electronic payment tools such as Bitcoin.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager and Head of Business Cycle Indicators at The Conference Board, stated that the US Leading Economic Index declined again in September, marking the second consecutive month of decline. The overall contraction in the index was mainly driven by weakened expectations from consumers and businesses. The main components dragging down the index included consumer expectations, the ISM New Orders Index, new orders for manufactured consumer goods and raw materials, initial jobless claims, and the yield curve. However, some components provided positive contributions, such as stock prices, the Leading Credit Index, and new orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft. The indicator trend suggests that US economic activity will slow down from the end of 2025 to early 2026. Overall, economic growth remains fragile and uneven, as businesses face the dual challenges of tariff policy adjustments and weakening consumer momentum. US GDP is projected to grow by 1.8% in 2025, and in 2026...

The UK's crypto industry association CryptoUK has joined the US crypto advocacy organization The Digital Chamber.

Odaily Planet Daily news: Standard Chartered Bank stated in a report on Tuesday that it has halved its Bitcoin price forecast for the end of 2025 to $100,000, down from the previous target of $200,000. At the same time, the bank has postponed its long-term target of $500,000 to 2030, originally set for 2028. The bank's analyst Geoffrey Kendrick pointed out that the downgrade is due to a reassessment of demand expectations, including the end of aggressive corporate purchases by entities such as MicroStrategy, as well as institutional adoption through ETFs being slower than expected. Kendrick said that future Bitcoin price increases will be "driven solely by ETF purchases." Currently, Bitcoin's quarterly ETF inflows have dropped to 50,000 BTC, the lowest since the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

US cryptocurrency ETF fund flows show selective positioning, with altcoins attracting attention. Although the market shows early signs of recovery, confidence remains lacking. Traders are generally adopting a wait-and-see approach ahead of the FOMC meeting, with heightened expectations for rate cuts.
