BitMine continues to strongly accumulate 138,452 $ETH (~$430M) over the past week

This figure is nearly 3 times the average weekly purchase level of the previous month and raises the company's total holdings to more than 3.8 million $ETH (~$12.1B).

Tom Lee remains extremely bullish on Ethereum thanks to a series of positive signals recently, including the successful deployment of the Fusaka upgrade and macroeconomic expectations that the Fed is about to ease and prepare to adjust interest rates.

Have the long-time whales stopped dumping their holdings?

According to Coindesk, from July to November, the amount $BTC of long-term holders has decreased by over 440K $BTC (~$40B), hitting a bottom on November 21 when the price fell to $80K.

Currently, their amount $BTC is gradually stabilizing, while the price has rebounded to the range of $91K - $92K, indicating that most of the selling pressure has been absorbed.

Compared to the past, this cycle no longer sees the frenzy followed by massive dumping, but rather a slower and more even distribution process. Perhaps the behavior of holders is gradually changing, and the 4-year cycle pattern shows signs of being broken.

Strategy continues to acquire $962.7M adding another 10,624 $BTC at an average price of ~$90,615 / BTC.

For the second consecutive week, the company has added more Bitcoin to its reserves, bringing the total holdings to 660,624 BTC at an average purchase price of $74,696 / BTC.

This is the largest accumulation since the transaction of 13,390 $BTC on May 12.

Argentina is stirring to open the door for banks to participate in crypto

The Central Bank of Argentina is considering lifting the ban, allowing traditional financial institutions to provide crypto trading and custody services. The goal is to bring crypto flows into a regulated framework.

For many years, Argentina has always been among the top countries using crypto the most. The people of this country use $BTC and stablecoins to overcome the continuous depreciation of the local currency.

Mr. Trump promised but why isn't he doing it 😢

In the latest National Security Strategy, the Trump administration did not mention crypto and blockchain at all. Instead, the document only identifies the core interests of the United States around AI, biotechnology, and quantum computing.

This contrasts with the previous bullish statements of Mr. Trump: making America the crypto capital, not allowing China to overtake.

Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that the Trump administration has implemented quite a few crypto-friendly policies this year: establishing a crypto task force, signing the GENIUS stablecoin act, and directing the SEC to relax market regulations.

The US financial market may migrate to blockchain in the coming years

This is the prediction of SEC Chairman Paul Atkins when discussing the benefits that tokenization brings:

- Transparency: When tokenized stocks are placed on the blockchain, businesses can know who holds them and clearly observe investors' dynamics.

- Instant payments: Shortening payment times, eliminating lengthy T+1 processes, helping to minimize risks.

Earlier this month, Mr. Atkins also announced a new mechanism allowing crypto projects to experiment freely, no longer having to worry about strict legal barriers as before.

This year is so strange, AE...🙈
For the first time since 2011, gold has risen to the TOP1 performance among asset types, with a record increase of +60%.

On the contrary, $BTC also had the lowest performance for the first time in a year of uptrend, while other assets were increasing in price. Previously, this scenario only appeared in downtrend years like 2018 and 2022.

Let's forget the old year and start anew in the new year…

Another protocol has been attacked...

The USPD stablecoin protocol was hacked, minting 98 million USPD illegally and stealing 232 stETH. Users who interacted with the USPD contract are advised to revoke immediately.

The team claims this is not a smart contract error. As usual, the project has reported to major CEX exchanges to assist in freezing assets, negotiating with the hacker to return 90%, keeping 10% as a reward, but the hacker has not responded...

CFTC allows crypto spot trading on regulated exchanges in the US

For the first time in history, spot crypto products are traded on CFTC-registered exchanges - platforms that are considered the standard for transparency and investor protection.

Bitnomial is the first entity to implement this, opening up the possibility for major names like CME, Cobe, and other reputable derivatives exchanges to participate in the near future.

This decision also marks an important step in the legalization of crypto in the US. Previously, users mainly traded on regular crypto exchanges, where oversight standards were inconsistent and risks were significantly higher.

Harvard University's Bitcoin investment is down 14%

As of September 30, Harvard holds 6,813,612 shares of IBIT (ETF $BTC from BlackRock) - nearly three times the number of 1,906,000 shares in June.

Although the average purchase price has not been disclosed, WSJ estimates that, with the price $BTC having dropped 20% this quarter, if Harvard retains all of its IBIT shares, the investment is down ~14% (~$40M).

On paper, this loss is insignificant for Harvard as the university manages the largest endowment fund in the U.S. valued at $57B and the position $BTC accounts for less than 1% of total assets.

Malaysia considers a complete ban on mining activities $BTC

The inter-ministerial committee including the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and the national energy corporation TNB has recently discussed the proposal to completely ban Bitcoin mining.

Deputy Minister of Energy Mr. Akmal Nasrullah expressed concerns:
- The wave of illegal mining is too large and increasingly sophisticated, with many cases showing the involvement of criminal organizations, beyond the control of regulatory authorities.
- The market is too volatile; legal mining points could also go bankrupt when BTC prices fall, leading to the risk of reverting to electricity theft or abandoning facilities that cause pollution.

However, illegal mining activities have also helped revive abandoned properties since the pandemic. Currently, Malaysia has not yet banned mining $BTC , and legal miners need to register, assess environmental impacts, and ensure energy efficiency.

The ADP jobs report shows that the U.S. private sector lost 32,000 jobs in November, contrary to expectations of an increase of 10,000, and is also the lowest level since March 2023.

Job growth in the U.S. in the second half of 2025 has nearly stalled. In November, hiring demand weakened significantly in manufacturing, professional services, trade, information technology, and construction.

Currently, the probability of the FED cutting interest rates by 0.25% in the meeting early on December 11 remains at 89%.

The SEC is about to impose new regulations to ease crypto in the US

$BTC will reach a new peak in 2026, breaking the 4-year cycle?

According to Grayscale, BTC is unlikely to fall into a long-lasting deep downturn as many fear. The viewpoint that "$BTC always peaks and then plummets every 4 years according to halving" is no longer suitable in the current context.

Although the future is hard to predict, Grayscale believes that $BTC could reach a new peak as soon as next year. A decline of over 25% is also normal in a bull market, not a signal for a long-term downtrend.

Reasons Grayscale believes the 4-year cycle is outdated:
1️⃣ There has not yet been a parabolic increase like in previous cycles – usually a sign of a strong correction.
2️⃣ Current cash flow leans towards institutions, through ETFs and reserve companies rather than small retail cash flow on spot.
3️⃣ The macro context remains positive, the Fed is cutting interest rates, and the U.S. bipartisan support for crypto legal frameworks is increasing.
