Gate Research: BTC and ETH are consolidating, while the AI and privacy computing sectors are showing structural strength.
From December 2nd to December 15th, 2025, global markets diverged. Despite the Fed's expected rate cut, policy disagreements and expectations of a pause in rate cuts suppressed risk appetite. BTC and ETH remained in a consolidation phase, with highly volatile assets relatively outperforming. Tokens related to AI applications and privacy computing strengthened, while new public chains and stablecoin narratives underperformed. A clear divergence in volume and price structures was evident, with the market still primarily driven by short-term speculation, but structural opportunities still existed.
