Odaily Planet Daily reports that Benjamin Melman, CEO of asset management firm Edmond de Rothschild, stated that the US dollar may face downside risks again next year. "If the market becomes concerned again about US interest rates, or if the artificial intelligence bubble suddenly bursts, the dollar will be at risk." The dollar has continued to weaken this year following the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. The US Dollar Index (DXY) is currently down 0.05% to 98.59. In mid-September, the index touched a three-and-a-half-year low of 96.218. (Jinshi)
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Galaxy founder and CEO Mike Novogratz stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference:
"As regulations become clearer, the industry has entered a phase where it must truly build products that users will actually use. The value of crypto assets is driven by both community and actual growth, and the narrative must be supported by real use and innovation. Solana, with its high-speed performance, is considered a chain 'born for the capital market,' and Galaxy's collaboration with Jump is also based on its capabilities in high-frequency infrastructure."
The crypto market has been volatile this year, but I remain personally optimistic. Just this year, one of Galaxy's clients completed a $9 billion Bitcoin sell-off, with early investors cashing in profits to diversify their portfolios. Meanwhile, a steady stream of new entrants continues to buy Bitcoin. My participation in conferences in Abu Dhabi over the past few days has further reinforced my optimism. The Abu Dhabi Financial Week brings together top investors from around the world, including many financial giants. Interacting with these industry leaders has further convinced me that the global wave of embracing blockchain and digital assets is accelerating, not slowing down.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference:
"Solana was the first blockchain platform to establish a policy research institute. Today, developing a digital asset strategy is essential for every institution. As these institutions enter the blockchain space, they are increasingly choosing Solana. Western Union, which processes over $60 billion in remittances annually, has chosen Solana. Pfizer, which processes $2 trillion in merchant payments annually, has also chosen Solana. Other institutions are following suit."
Of course, ETFs are a major theme this year. We've finally seen the arrival of physically backed Solana-collateralized ETFs—they launched in large numbers on the Solana ecosystem about six weeks ago, and within just six weeks, their assets under management have approached $1 billion. Despite the overall market underperformance, we've seen net inflows for three consecutive weeks. There are already six physically backed Solana-collateralized ETFs listed in the US market alone.
Another important, albeit somewhat controversial, theme this year is DAT (Crypto Treasury Companies). Many view DAT as a short-term liquidity tool, but we hold the opposite view. This is because Solana is one of the few platforms that allows businesses to build both at the infrastructure and asset layers. We believe DAT companies will be long-term ecosystem companies, acting as bridges connecting Solana to public markets, building infrastructure, asset management systems, and integrating all these functionalities into a unified whole.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin MENA 2025 was successfully held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from December 8th to 9th. This event also marked Antalpha's first major global industry appearance since its traditional IPO on Nasdaq in May 2025.

“Bitcoin MENA 2025 clearly demonstrated the shifting focus of the global Bitcoin narrative—from short-term price volatility to long-term financial infrastructure development. Michael Saylor’s concept of a ‘Bitcoin-backed digital bank’ aligns perfectly with Antalpha’s strategic direction over the years. We believe that Bitcoin is not only digital gold, but will become the underlying reserve asset for institutional credit markets and the modern financial system. Antalpha’s mission is to provide the technology, funding tools, and risk management capabilities needed for this future in a transparent, robust, and institutional-grade manner.”
