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...

Odaily Planet Daily News: Kevin Hassett, the Director of the White House National Economic Council and a leading candidate to become the next Federal Reserve Chair, reiterated on Friday his expectation that Fed policymakers will cut interest rates at next week's meeting. "Now is a good time for the Fed to cautiously cut rates again," he said on Fox Business Channel. He predicted that as the economy recovers from the recent federal government shutdown and new factories come online, there will be an economic boom in early 2026. Hassett also publicly supported Treasury Secretary Besant's proposal to add a residency requirement for regional Fed presidents. Hassett said, "The reason we established all these regional Feds was to ensure a federal system where regions with different concerns could all have a voice at the decision-making level." Besant said on Wednesday that she would push for new rules requiring candidates for regional Fed presidents to have lived in their district for at least three years—a measure the Trump administration accuses the Fed of exceeding...

JPMorgan's latest analysis points out that although the US stablecoin market is expanding rapidly under the impetus of the GENIUS Act, its grand goal of "boosting demand for US short-term Treasuries" may fall far short of policymakers' expectations. Since the act was passed in July, the total supply of stablecoins has increased by over $50 billion, surpassing $300 billion in scale, but it is still far from the White House's previous target of $2-4 trillion by 2028–2030. JPMorgan's Head of US Short-Term Rate Strategy, Teresa Ho, stated that while stablecoins have strong growth momentum, it is "unrealistic" to expect them to grow to several trillion dollars within a few years. The bank expects that in the next few years, the stablecoin market size may reach about $700 billion, mainly limited by current laws prohibiting the issuance of interest-bearing stablecoins—a restriction that weakens the core driver of demand growth.

BlockBeats News, December 5th—Farcaster founder Dan Romero announced that House, the first new project presale on the Clanker platform, sold out within 30 seconds. Screenshots show that the hard cap for this presale was only 20 ETH. However, the community has called this presale a “disaster.” The reason is that Clanker used an old version of the presale contract released earlier this year, allowing a whale to snipe the presale and acquire 16 ETH (80%) of the allocation. In addition, there was no limit on the participation amount per wallet, which also led to the allocation being dominated by a single party. In response, Dan Romero stated that the sniping address will only be able to claim tokens after 7 days, and promised that the next presale will use a permissioned process to ensure fairness. At the time of writing, H

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a major event today—over $4 billion in options are set to expire, involving major assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL). Traders generally expect another round of significant short-term volatility in the market, and before next week’s Federal Reserve FOMC interest rate decision, the total crypto market cap may fall below $3 trillion again. In the past 24 hours, there have been $270 million in liquidations in the crypto market. Coupled with rising US Treasury yields, Japanese bonds, and gold prices, Bitcoin and major assets have come under downward pressure. Although BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL saw a brief rebound during today’s session, the overall technical structure remains weak.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder stated that the current market downturn is almost unrelated to "any cryptocurrency-specific factors," but it is unlikely that Bitcoin will rise again at the beginning of next year. Snyder said that the current drivers of low volatility are unlikely to dissipate completely in the short term, and whether the market at the beginning of next year can repeat the performance seen this year will heavily depend on broader market sentiment. She explained that January usually sees "new inflows" into Bitcoin ETFs as investors rebalance and adjust their portfolios at the start of the year. After climbing to the current high of $125,100 on October 5, Bitcoin entered a downtrend, following a $19 billion crypto market liquidation event on October 10. According to CoinMarketCap data,

Jinse Finance reported that Meta Platforms (META.US) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to significantly reduce resource investment in building the metaverse, a strategy he once defined as the company’s future and which prompted the rebranding of Facebook. According to sources familiar with the matter, management has discussed cutting next year’s metaverse division budget by as much as 30%.

Sources said the proposed metaverse cuts are part of the company’s 2026 budget planning. They added that Zuckerberg has asked Meta executives to seek an overall 10% budget cut, a standard requirement in similar budget cycles over the past few years.

BlockBeats News, December 4—Wolfe Research stated that now is a good time to buy cryptocurrencies on dips. The current crypto market is showing a clear divergence between bulls and bears, creating a potential buying opportunity. The firm still expects Bitcoin’s interim bottom to be around $75,000, even after Bitcoin rebounds and regains the $90,000 level. However, Wolfe also pointed out that Bitcoin ETF inflows remain weak and digital assets overall continue to be under widespread downward pressure. From a technical perspective, the crypto market has returned to a key long-term support area, which has served as a turning point for prices multiple times in the past. Momentum indicators are improving, and Bitcoin’s current rebound is seen as constructive. Wolfe believes the next major test is the 50-day moving average at $101,000.

ChainCatcher reported that Sun Lei, Global Head of Local and Innovative Payment Products at HSBC Global Payments Solutions, said in an exclusive interview that HSBC has long invested resources to advance tokenized deposit services. He noted that even if only 5%–10% of commercial bank deposits are tokenized in the future, that scale would still far exceed any current cryptocurrency in the market. The technical standards of HSBC’s private chain are the same as Ethereum’s EVM compatibility and ERC-20 standards, and it is possible that some user scenarios in the future may require choosing a public chain technology route. Regarding whether tokenized loans will be launched next, HSBC is already in discussions with clients about related programmable applications.

BlockBeats News, on December 4, crypto market research firm Delphi Digital posted on social media stating that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path for next year is the clearest it has been in years. In December 2025, another 25 basis point rate cut is expected, bringing the federal funds rate down to about 3.5%-3.75%. The forward curve predicts at least three more rate cuts in 2026. If the path remains unchanged, the year-end rate will drop to the low range of around 3%. But rate cuts are only part of the story. Quantitative tightening (QT) ended on December 1.
