[BiTu] Two strategists from BlackRock recently released a research report on the outlook for the Federal Reserve. Their core view is clear: the room for rate cuts in 2026 is limited. What is the background? In this cycle, the Federal Reserve has already cut rates by 175 basis points, approaching a neutral interest rate level. Once this critical point is reached, the room for further downward movement naturally becomes limited. Unless there is a sudden significant deterioration in the labor market, the possibility of further rate cuts in 2026 is quite limited. From market expectations, according to the latest data from LSEG, traders now expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates twice in 2026. This expectation is more moderate compared to previous optimistic estimates. In other words, the market is already preparing for a new normal of high interest rates. For investors focused on macro trends, this means that capital flows and market risk appetite may face new dynamics in the coming period.

The room for interest rate cuts is gone; now we have to rely on economic data to make decisions. Let's just sit back and watch the show.
Recently, new projects have emerged in the crypto market. AVNT attracted participants through airdrop campaigns with a reward pool reaching $60,000; PEPENODE raised $2.3 million through pre-sale funding, introducing deflationary burning and staking mechanisms. Both projects demonstrate the market's ongoing interest in new concepts.
【Blockchain Rhythm】On December 24th, there was a new development in on-chain data. Three addresses, possibly from the same entity, deposited a total of 2.47 million USDC as collateral into Hyperliquid in the past 24 hours, then opened a $1.69 million TST long position in one go. This number is significant—it accounts for 42.3% of Hyperliquid's total TST holdings, and the top 3 long positions are all held by them. Interestingly, the operation patterns of these three addresses are almost identical. They all did the same thing: transferred BTCB out from an exchange, deposited it into Aster, and then withdrew USDT. More importantly, all these collaterals were urgently withdrawn from exchanges within the past 24 hours and directly invested into Hyperliquid. Currently, these addresses hold only one type of position—the TST long. It is worth noting that one of the addresses
Hyper ecosystem has completed the HYPE token burning, receiving 85% support through on-chain governance voting, demonstrating a consensus among holders. This initiative will impact the project's inflation expectations and long-term tokenomics.
ngl, 85% approval rate screams either genuine consensus or people just couldn't be bothered to actually read the proposal. the real question—did this actually address the underlying tokenomics anxiety, or are we just doing performative burn theater again?
The core development team of Arbitrum, Offchain Labs, announced an increase in ARB token Holdings, indicating its long-term strategic support for the Arbitrum ecosystem. This move aims to promote ecosystem development, emphasizing the importance of empowering developers, strengthening the community, and fostering technological innovation, reflecting a genuine financial commitment.
[Coin World] Recent data shows that Tether Treasury has transferred 200 million USDT to Bitfinex, corresponding to a value of approximately 199.96 million USD. This large stablecoin transfer has once again attracted market attention—frequent interactions between Tether and Bitfinex often reflect changes in market liquidity and adjustments in the capital allocation of the exchange. From on-chain data, such transfers usually indicate that trading activity is about to intensify or that market sentiment is shifting, which is worth closely following for traders.

Two hundred million USDT has been traded, time to watch the market...

Basically, it's just gambling on AI, nothing new. The key still depends on whether the financial report data can be realized; having only imagination... let's wait and see.
[Coin World] The surge of gold prices to $4,400 per ounce is indeed eye-catching, but rather than regretting the missed opportunity, it is better to understand the underlying logic. Humanity's pursuit of gold is essentially about seeking a scarce asset that has widespread Consensus. Looking deeper, the tense global situation may not be the biggest threat. What is truly changing the rules of the game is the explosive development of AI and robotics technology. This wave is weakening the status of any sovereign currency; no matter how countries adjust their monetary policies, it is difficult to stop this trend. The new round of productivity explosion will inevitably lead to serious depreciation pressures on traditional currencies, including the dollar. Applying this logic to Bitcoin, the conclusion becomes obvious—an unprecedented price level will inevitably come. Don't rush; give the market some time.
Gold has broken four thousand, but it still feels like an appetizer... What I'm really optimistic about is still the trap logic of BTC; in this game of AI reshuffling, no one can escape.
Recently, USDC Treasury burned 50 million USDC on the Ethereum network, which may reflect adjustments in stablecoin liquidity management. Large-scale burnings usually indicate active management of market supply, significantly impacting the DeFi ecosystem and trader strategies.
The Gnosis community has decided to recover the funds lost in the Balancer vulnerability incident through a Hard Fork, and the funds are currently out of the Hacker's control. The community is working with Monerium and Balancer to freeze the funds and restrict asset outflows in order to buy time for planning a response. The team continues to communicate with partners and reminds Node operators to follow up on the fork to avoid penalties. The entire ecosystem is working together to address the risks.
Hard Fork recovery? This method is quite ruthless, but I understand, after all, no one wants to see their money just disappear. The key is that the Node buddies have to keep up; otherwise, if they really get penalized, it won't be worth the loss.
The latest ADP employment data shows that as of December 6, the average weekly net increase in private sector jobs in the U.S. is 11,500, with a moderate rise. This indicates a gradual expansion of the economy, but the growth momentum is weakening, which may affect the Fed's interest rate policy, thus impacting market trends and the performance of risk assets.

Employment data has started to slow down again, and now the Fed will have a headache... Interest rate cut expectations will fluctuate again.
A large healthcare pension fund in Ontario, Canada, has increased its holdings in Bitcoin encryption treasury company Strive, with a transaction amount of approximately $13 million. This move reflects the attention of TradFi towards encryption assets and demonstrates the cautious and diversified approach of institutional investors when allocating digital assets.
A fund of 90 billion only bought 13 million, which is really a pathetic proportion. However, that being said, institutions slowly entering the market really does have that flavor.

The [Block Rhythm] Oracle Machine track has new developments. APRO recently launched an Oracle-as-a-Service (OaaS) subscription platform, productizing the capabilities of oracles and adapting them to scenarios like prediction markets with standardized data access solutions, while also supporting the x402 payment protocol. Interestingly, APRO has now started supplying sports event data for the prediction market, with the first launch being the NFL American Professional Football League, and it will later cover basketball, soccer, boxing, rugby, badminton, and other events. This data has all been verified and is basically at the level of near real-time updates. From the perspective of infrastructure, APRO's multi-source database has covered crypto assets, social media, and sports data, with plans to further expand into the fields of esports and macroeconomic data. In terms of public chain support, it is already compatible with Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, S
Another OaaS? The Oracle Machine track has really rolled to the edge of the sky, after playing people for suckers with asset data, now it's playing with sports data; the happiness of suckers is just this simple and unadorned.
Supporting 40+ public chains, but still no one uses it, to put it bluntly, it's just a cash machine for big companies.
【Chain News】Gate CandyDrop Airdrop 8.0 event is officially here! Starting from December 23 at 4 PM, until January 6, 2026, at 4 PM, for a full two weeks, the platform has allocated a super prize pool of 30 ETH to reward users. This event has two core gameplay elements. The first is the new user first deposit reward pool, offering 10 ETH. The logic is simple—if you are a new user and complete your first contract transaction, reaching a contract trading volume of 1,000 USDT or more in any cryptocurrency (including opening and closing positions), you can participate in the sharing. Each person can receive a maximum of 0.04 ETH, which means everyone has a chance. The second gameplay is more interesting, with a prize pool of 20 ETH for inviting friends. During the event, for every valid friend you invite, you can earn 1 candy, with a maximum accumulation of 10 candies. And then? All candy holders will share this 20 ETH proportionally.
