According to Odaily Planet Daily, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold a roundtable discussion on cryptocurrencies, financial surveillance, and privacy on December 15th. Zooko Wilcox, founder of the crypto privacy project Zcash, and others will participate. Analysts believe that the SEC may use this meeting to assess the level of regulatory weight it can give to crypto privacy projects during its rule-making process. If a consensus is reached that zero-knowledge proofs can meet compliance obligations, this flexibility can be incorporated into the rules for digital asset brokerages, alternative trading systems, and custody. However, if the meeting splits into two camps—"privacy is a right" and "privacy fuels crime"—the existing surveillance-centric framework may be retained, pushing privacy advocates to court.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, crypto analyst "TXMC" published an article on the X platform pointing out that despite the recent decline in Bitcoin prices, the liveliness of this cycle continues to rise. This indicates that there is a bottom in the demand for spot Bitcoin, which is not reflected in the price trend. This may mean that the current bull market cycle has not yet ended. The analyst stated that this indicator reflects the long-term moving average of Bitcoin's on-chain activity, which is the sum of all lifecycle spending and on-chain holding activity. During a bull market, market "liveliness" usually increases as supplies change hands at higher prices, indicating the inflow of new investment capital.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury company, released a recent interview with CNBC on its CEO, Phong Le, on the X platform. Le stated that Strategy does not have an inability to pay dividends, but rumors circulating claiming the company cannot fulfill its dividend obligations have led to shorting Bitcoin in the market. Regarding the establishment of a $1.44 billion dividend reserve fund, Le said that Strategy raised $1.44 billion in just eight and a half days, equivalent to 21 months of dividend payments. This was done to eliminate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and to demonstrate to the market that Strategy can still quickly raise funds even during a Bitcoin downturn.
