🚀 Market Sentiment Turns Bearish as Funding Rates Shift

According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass indicates that the funding rates on major centralized and decentralized exchanges have shifted, signaling a bearish market sentiment. The funding rates for key cryptocurrencies are detailed in the accompanying chart.

Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and the prices of the underlying assets, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This mechanism facilitates the exchange of funds between long and short traders, without the trading platform collecting these fees. The purpose is to adjust the cost or profit of holding contracts, ensuring that contract prices remain close to the underlying asset prices.

A funding rate of 0.01% is considered the baseline rate. When the funding rate exceeds 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market sentiment. Conversely, when the funding rate falls below 0.005%, it suggests a bearish market outlook.

🚀 Moody's Economist Warns of Fragile Economic Balance

According to Odaily, Moody's Chief Economist has issued a warning that while multiple interest rate cuts may occur in 2026, this should not be seen as a sign of prosperity. Instead, it reflects an economy in a 'fragile balance.' This unusual combination suggests a gradual and cautious approach to interest rates in the future, rather than an aggressive rate-cutting cycle. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that only 64,000 jobs were added in November 2025. The agency noted that since April, there has been 'little net change' in employment numbers.

🚀 Grayscale's Bitcoin Holdings Decline Amid ETF Approval

According to Odaily, crypto data analyst CyrilXBT shared on the X platform that Grayscale's Bitcoin (BTC) holdings have been decreasing following the approval of a Bitcoin ETF. This decline is attributed to outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) as investors are taking profits or reallocating their portfolios, causing BTC prices to fluctuate under supply pressure. In contrast, Grayscale's Ethereum (ETH) holdings have remained more stable in recent weeks, with significantly less selling pressure compared to BTC. This indicates stronger market confidence in holding ETH, possibly driven by expectations of an ETH ETF, staking rewards, and lower urgency to sell. Currently, BTC is in a distribution and rotation phase, while ETH is in a phase of patient waiting and positioning. During the period of BTC's selling pressure, Grayscale is viewing ETH as the next asymmetric investment opportunity.

🚀 Stablecoin Market Cap Surpasses $310 Billion, Signaling Major Shift in Digital Asset Use

According to BlockBeats, the stablecoin market capitalization has exceeded $310 billion, marking a significant milestone with a 70% increase within a year. This growth is not merely another indicator of a cryptocurrency bubble but signifies a fundamental shift in the global use of digital assets.

The report highlights several key drivers behind the rapid expansion of stablecoins, including the widespread adoption of global payment applications, institutional demand, and the development of decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, various industry analysis models predict that, with broader integration of stablecoins by major financial institutions, the supply could reach $2 trillion by 2028. These forecasts are based on the expectation that stablecoins will evolve from transaction-focused tools to a more general digital cash layer, applicable in areas such as e-commerce, inter-company payments, and embedded finance.

🚀 Hong Kong Exchange Scam Alert: Fake Website Targets Users

According to Odaily, a user reported that their family member fell victim to a scam involving a fake 'Hong Kong Exchange' website. Initially, they were able to withdraw funds successfully four times, each time amounting to 100 yuan. However, the system later demanded a tax payment to continue withdrawals, threatening to freeze the account if the tax was not paid. The victim has since reported the incident to the police.

Upon investigation, it was found that the fraudulent webpage is currently inaccessible. In response to such impersonation scams, the official Hong Kong Exchange website has issued a warning. The exchange has identified over 400 suspicious websites, although a fake site named 'Hong Kong Stablecoin Exchange (HSEX)' remains accessible. This site closely mimics legitimate trading platforms, displaying cryptocurrency and virtual currency market trends and offering deposit and withdrawal functions.

🚀 Gold Expected to Rise as Dow-Gold Ratio Reaches Key Turning Point

According to BlockBeats, Christopher Aaron, chief analyst and founder of iGold Advisor, has identified a significant fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio. This signal suggests that gold is poised for several years of sustained growth, while holders of industrial stocks like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 may face prolonged losses.

The Dow-Gold ratio measures the number of ounces of gold required to purchase one share of each of the 30 Dow Jones component stocks. Historically, during the previous three key turning points (1930–1933, 1968–1980, 2002–2011), the Dow has fallen by an average of 90.5% relative to gold over 9.3 years.

Aaron also noted that this fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio could be the most critical trend break in their historical performance, with the Dow's decline relative to gold potentially exceeding the average of the previous three cycles.

🚀 MSCI Proposal May Impact Companies with Significant Digital Asset Holdings

According to ChainCatcher, MSCI has proposed excluding companies with digital assets comprising 50% or more of their total assets from its global investable market indices. The final decision is expected on January 15, 2026, with changes potentially taking effect in February.

Analysts predict this move could compel 39 publicly traded companies to sell between $10 billion and $15 billion in crypto assets to maintain eligibility. These companies have a combined market capitalization of approximately $113 billion, with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) accounting for 74.5% of the affected value.

JPMorgan estimates that Strategy alone might face $2.8 billion in outflows from MSCI-related funds. To avoid exclusion, some companies may proactively reduce their crypto holdings below 50%, potentially triggering market sell-offs and increased Bitcoin volatility. Over 1,268 individuals have signed a petition opposing the proposal, criticizing it for unfairly targeting digital assets.

🚀 Lugano's Plan ₿ Project Advances with Cryptocurrency Payments

The initiative has attracted over 110 crypto-related startups to the region. The fourth Plan ₿ Forum, scheduled for October 2025, is expected to draw 4,000 participants from 64 countries, marking a 140% increase since the project's inception.
