According to Matrixport's latest "Matrix on Target Weekly Report," the latest FOMC meeting results were largely in line with market expectations. However, the dot plot did not provide clear guidance on the future policy path, instead increasing market uncertainty about the pace of policy changes. Nevertheless, judging from interest rate and asset price performance, these uncertainties are still relatively limited in current price levels. Powell's cautious remarks, coupled with early signs of a weakening labor market, indicate that the current macroeconomic environment differs from that at the beginning of the year.
The report points out that against this backdrop, Bitcoin broke below a key long-term trend level for the first time in this bull market, and its price action bears similarities to the market rhythm before and after midterm elections in previous years. Although discussions about the Federal Reserve restarting its balance sheet expansion have intensified recently, overall liquidity in the crypto market remains tight, retail trading activity has not yet rebounded significantly, and the impact of political factors on market sentiment and trading behavior may not yet be fully priced in.
Matrixport believes that, due to a confluence of factors, the market is transitioning from a single-trend market to a more complex structure. During this phase, position management and risk control become significantly more important. The report maintains its previous assessment that even without defining the current market as a bear market, this consolidation phase is highly likely to continue.
According to Lookonchain monitoring, the "1011 Insider Whale" continues to increase its long positions. As of now, its on-chain holdings have increased significantly.

In addition to its existing positions, it has also placed new limit orders in the market: planning to buy another 40,000 ETH in the $3,030–$3,258 range and add 50,000 SOL at a price of $138.6.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) pointed out in its latest annual industry report that the Web3 game industry is shifting from an early speculative-driven stage to a development path that focuses more on sustainable economic models and product orientation, with a significant rebound in overall market sentiment and maturity.
The report, based on a survey of over 500 global blockchain gaming professionals, shows that industry optimism has rebounded from a 2024 low to 65.8%, with a shift in focus from token economics design to high-quality game content, stable revenue models, and payment infrastructure supporting real-world business scenarios. BGA states that the core hallmark of this industry transformation lies in "a repositioning towards a sustainable economic system."
The report reviews that after the Play-to-Earn boom in 2021, Web3 games experienced a downturn in 2024. The collapse of the P2E model, funding shortages, and numerous project failures led to a loss of confidence in the industry. In 2025, industry funding dropped to $293 million, far below the $4 billion in 2021, forcing teams to shift towards streamlined operations and self-sustaining models.
BGA also pointed out that improved regulatory conditions and the widespread adoption of stablecoins are becoming important drivers of industry recovery. Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, believes that the more favorable US regulatory environment gives projects greater flexibility in token issuance structures; while stablecoins provide a low-cost, low-volatility cross-border transaction solution for in-game payments. Nearly 30% of respondents believe that the launch of high-quality games is the most critical factor driving industry growth. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily Planet Daily reports that programmable IP blockchain Story has announced a partnership with verifiable decentralized computing platform EigenCloud to jointly build a "Verifiable Intelligence" system, enabling full-chain verification of AI data, models, execution, and payments.
This system will drive AI from a black box to an open network that is auditable, provable, and settleable: data and models have on-chain proof of origin, training and inference can generate execution credentials, and licensing and revenue distribution are completed automatically.
The collaboration will support AI agents in autonomously discovering, invoking, and paying for the use of on-chain skills, accelerating the development of a verifiable AI economy and agency-based business models.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that a user's account was recently restricted to a "no receiving, no sending" status by China Construction Bank after the words "Dogecoin" appeared in the bank transfer remarks, drawing attention. The user stated that several months ago, he and his spouse transferred 250 yuan of pocket money between their CCB accounts, with the remarks "Dogecoin this week." Subsequently, both parties received calls from the bank to verify their relationship and the meaning of the remarks, and were informed that the remarks triggered "virtual currency control" risk monitoring.
China Construction Bank (CCB) staff requested relevant bank card transaction records and a written commitment to prove that the transfer was not a cryptocurrency transaction. The account could only be unblocked after the verification was approved. Some branch staff stated that if the transfer remarks contained keywords related to cryptocurrency, proof that it was unrelated to cryptocurrency was required; otherwise, the account might not be unblocked and would have to be cancelled.
In response, China Construction Bank's customer service stated that the bank does not conduct virtual currency trading business. However, if the system identifies high-risk behavior, the account may be temporarily restricted from trading. The specific criteria for this restriction need to be explained by the account opening bank or account manager. Industry insiders pointed out that the relevant handling is related to the bank's internal risk control and regulatory requirements.
According to Xinhua News Agency, on December 5th, seven associations, including the National Internet Finance Association of China, jointly issued a risk warning, requiring member units to refrain from participating in the issuance and trading of virtual currencies and related tokens within China, and reminding the public to be vigilant about related risks.

According to Odaily, Binance has only frozen a portion of the funds after receiving a request from South Korean police to freeze stolen Upbit crypto assets. The report states that after Upbit was hacked on September 27th, the stolen assets were laundered through multiple layers of transfers, splits, and cross-chain operations, with most of the funds ultimately flowing into third-party service wallets on the Binance platform.
On the morning of the incident, police and Upbit requested Binance to freeze approximately 470 million Korean won worth of Solana tokens. However, Binance only froze approximately 80 million Korean won, or about 17% of the requested amount, citing the need for further verification. The freezing was completed approximately 15 hours after the request.
Regarding the partial freeze and delayed processing, Binance responded that, in principle, it cannot provide specific details about the ongoing investigation, but will continue to cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies and partners according to established procedures. Blockchain researchers pointed out that rapid initial freezing after a hack is crucial to minimizing losses and suggested establishing a global emergency cooperation mechanism among exchanges to improve emergency response efficiency.
The report also stated that the hackers had converted most of their Solana assets into Ethereum, possibly due to its higher market liquidity and relatively easy subsequent monetization. (KBS)
According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Japanese National Tax Agency announced on December 11 the results of its tax investigation for fiscal year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). The results showed that 613 on-site investigations were conducted against individuals involved in cryptocurrency transactions, resulting in the recovery of approximately 4.6 billion yen in taxes. This represents an increase of approximately 31.4% compared to the 3.5 billion yen in the previous fiscal year, while the number of investigations also increased by approximately 14.6% year-on-year.
The IRS points out that cryptocurrency-related cases have significantly higher tax recovery amounts per transaction and higher rates of underreported income compared to the overall average for income tax investigations. Current tax investigations focus on the accuracy of profit and loss calculations, the completeness of transaction records, and the handling of special transactions such as DeFi, airdrops, mining, and staking. If multiple domestic or international exchanges are involved, all profits and losses must be reported together; otherwise, it may be considered an omission in the reporting process.
In addition, the National Tax Agency stated that it has continuously strengthened the collection and analysis of data on internet transactions and introduced AI technology to assist in screening investigation targets. If it is found that there has been any omission or failure to file a report, in addition to paying back taxes, late payment taxes and surcharges may also be levied. The maximum surcharge for failure to file a report can be 20%, and if there is intentional concealment or falsification, the recalculation tax rate can be as high as 35% to 40%.
At the tax level, the Japanese government and ruling party are discussing changing the current comprehensive taxation of income from crypto assets to a separate taxation system similar to that of stocks, with a potential uniform tax rate of 20%. They are also discussing the introduction of a profit and loss accounting and loss carry-forward mechanism. The direction of these reforms is expected to be further clarified in the year-end tax reform outline. (CoinPost)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Yi Lihua published an article on X citing a recent report from Trend Research, stating that he remains firmly bullish on Ethereum.
First, the consensus on Wall Street is strengthening: the SEC chairman's latest statement on "finance migrating to the blockchain" indicates that US political and economic elites are joining forces to promote the tokenization of US Treasury bonds, with Ethereum as the core carrier.
Secondly, Fusaka's upgrade is reshaping value: Blob fees have skyrocketed, burning over 1500 ETH in a single day, accounting for 98% of the total. L2 prosperity is strongly feeding back into the mainnet, and deflation is imminent.
Third, the technical picture is extremely clean: speculative leverage has dropped to a historical low of 4%, and exchange holdings are only 10%. ETH/BTC is consolidating sideways, showing resilience, short sellers are exhausted, and a short squeeze is imminent. In this interest rate cut cycle, funds are rotating from BTC to ETH, which has practical value.
