Why stocks rise despite Fed downsizing
The S&P 500 has risen 82% over three years even though the Federal Reserve (Fed) reduced its balance sheet by 27%.
Markets expect an 86% chance of a rate cut of 25 basis points this week. However, economic strains and talks of changes in Fed leadership may make the policy direction less clear.
Market performance exceeds traditional liquidity theories.
The stock rally during a period of quantitative tightening has challenged long-held market perceptions.
Data shared by Charlie Bilello shows the S&P 500 up 82% while Fed assets fell by nearly a quarter.

Bitcoin swings as $ 1.39 billion whale dump triggers coordinated selling offensive
Bitcoin's price movement on Sunday was chaotic after a wave of whale-driven sell orders triggered a rapid drop of $2000, mass liquidations, and an equally aggressive rise.

$1.39 billion in Bitcoin dumped within one hour
Several analysts reported what appeared to be coordinated sales, where more than 15,565 BTC, worth approximately $ 1.39 billion, hit the market within a single hour.

Hyperliquid token reaches 7-month low as market share collapses
Hyperliquid's HYPE token fell to a seven-month low after the market reacted to a sharp decline in the protocol's dominance and renewed concerns over recent token movements.
According to BeInCrypto data, the token fell more than 4% in the last 24 hours to $29.24, the lowest level since May.
Why is HYPE's price falling?
CoinGlass data showed that the drop triggered more than $11 million in liquidations, adding to the pressure on a market that was already cautious.
The change marks a strong reversal for a protocol that once dominated the on-chain perpetual market. Earlier this year, Hyperliquid dominated the decentralized perpetual market with nearly total control. However, that advantage has faded.

Binance denies allegations of advertising meme coins
Binance has denied claims that the exchange was involved in coordinated marketing of new meme coins.
The comments come after increasing concerns that the exchange's social media posts were converted into meme tokens.
Binance initiates internal review after meme coins mirror their tweets
An example of such a trend is a tweet from a Binance Futures post that read: âThe year of the yellow fruit and harvest! Plant wisely. Harvest abundantly.â An on-chain token with the exact phrase and image appeared shortly before the post was made.

Notcoin (NOT) price sees a short 35% rise after saying goodbye to Bitcoin
Notcoin's price increased by nearly 36% in the last 24 hours as sudden bullish speculation lifted the Telegram-based token significantly higher.
However, the rise did not translate into sustained momentum. Instead, it triggered the heaviest selling in six months.
Notcoin is pulling away from Bitcoin
The correlation between Notcoin and Bitcoin has weakened significantly, falling to 0.43. This rapid decline shows that NOT no longer closely follows Bitcoin's price movements. Such a separation could be beneficial if BTC continues its volatility or prepares for further declines, as NOT may avoid direct downward pressure.

Vitalik Buterin promotes the idea of gas futures for Ethereum
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin promotes a new mechanism to reduce sudden spikes in transaction costs on the network.
His latest proposal outlines a trustless, on-chain prediction market designed to help users secure future gas prices and manage volatility rather than react to it.
Buterin's proposed Ethereum market
On December 6, Buterin argued that Ethereum needs a market-based signal for future demand for block space.
The structure would trade exposure to the network's Base Fee by allowing participants to buy or sell gas commitments tied to a future date.

Solana and Base collide over new âbidirectionalâ bridge
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko hit at the core of Coinbase's Base expansion strategy this weekend, dismissing the Ethereum Layer-2 network's new bridge as 'alignment nonsense.'
In a sharp rebuke of Base leader Jesse Pollak, Yakovenko argued that cross-chain bridges are rarely neutral infrastructure. He said they act as vectors for value capture, determining where fees settle and which ecosystem benefits from it.
Solana encourages migration
Yakovenko claims that Base applications must migrate their data processing to Solana so that transaction fees and economic activity benefit Solana validators.

PIPPIN price surge of 150%, will it continue?
PIPPIN has emerged as one of the strongest players in the AI Agent token market, with a powerful surge in recent days.
The impressive increase has put the token in the spotlight, and now investors are wondering if PIPPIN can maintain this momentum.
PIPPIN investors show skepticism
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows that PIPPIN has recently experienced a period of strong inflows. This signaled increasing confidence and capital flowing into the market.
Yet, the indicator is now flattening out, pointing to declining inflows. A decrease in new capital may limit PIPPIN's ability to sustain its surge, making further increases more difficult.

Ethereum experiences mixed signals at this critical price
Ethereum price is attempting again to break free from the longstanding $ 3000 barrier, but the attempt has stalled. After briefly moving higher, ETH slipped back towards this support level, signaling that the market is still divided.
Even though the bullish momentum is slowly returning, investors' impatience may weigh on the rise if a clear direction does not soon emerge.
Ethereum investors may sell their ETH
MVRV Long/Short Difference is approaching the neutral line, signaling a potential shift in the dominance of profit between long-term and short-term traders. This metric tracks whether long-term traders (LTHs) or short-term traders (STHs) are achieving more gains. For Ethereum, a fall below the neutral line would mean that STHs have the majority of unrealized gains.

Cardano developers are now betting on growth in AI and quantum computing
Input Output, the engineering company best known for building Cardano, has begun a comprehensive restructuring that includes a name change and an expansion into technology sectors far beyond its blockchain origins.
The company said on December 5 that they will remove 'Global' from the name and operate as Input Output Group. They plan to expand into quantum computing, digital identity, fintech, and healthcare.
Why is Cardano expanding its engineering firm operations?
Charles Hoskinson, the company's founder, said the redesign reflects how far the organization has evolved from its original focus on blockchain protocol engineering.

Zcash struggle below $400 due to Bitcoin, here's how it affects
Zcash price has faced renewed selling pressure after a sharp decline of 16% over the last 24 hours, pulling the altcoin down from its attempt to move above $400.
The rejection has delayed ZEC's attempt to regain higher levels, and the prolonged wait may introduce further challenges for traders if market sentiment weakens again.
Zcash differs from Bitcoin
The correlation between Zcash and Bitcoin has weakened in recent days, falling back below the zero line. A negative correlation means that ZEC is no longer moving in sync with BTC's price direction.

Tom Lee's BitMine expands Ethereum bet with $200 million in two days
BitMine expanded its Ethereum holdings this week by nearly $200 million in new purchases, strengthening its position as the largest individual owner of the asset.

This December could determine the fate of digital asset reserves: Here is CoinSharesâ survival...
After some turbulent weeks in the cryptocurrency market, Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies have been thrown back into the spotlight, and not for the reasons they had hoped.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader market have experienced sharp declines due to macroeconomic concerns, including a potential unwinding of the yen carry trade if the Bank of Japan raises interest rates. With rising volatility, cascading liquidations, and aggressive short positions from large institutions, you have the perfect recipe for investor panic.
