Huoxun Finance News, December 8th - According to Cointelegraph, the Trump administration made no mention of cryptocurrency or blockchain in its latest national security strategy. Released last Friday, the national security strategy outlined his administration's priorities, stating that America's "core, vital national interests" revolve around artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

According to OnchainLens monitoring, a major whale engaged in "perpetual contract-spot" arbitrage has deposited 6 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened multiple long positions: ETH (20x leverage) and SUI (10x leverage). Furthermore, this whale also opened a long position in FARTCOIN (10x leverage) yesterday.

According to The Block, Grayscale Research analyst Will Ogden Moore stated on December 8th, "Bitcoin's history shows that even with reduced rewards, a decrease in supply can enhance network value, as Bitcoin's network security and market value have been strengthened through four consecutive halvings. Similarly, Bittensor's first halving marks a significant milestone in the network's maturation as it moves towards its 21 million token supply cap." Moore noted that Bittensor is currently experiencing strong adoption momentum, with institutional interest steadily increasing. Moore pointed out that the launch of dTAO in February was a major achievement for Bittensor. This mechanism allows direct investment in subnets, leading to a significant expansion of the total market capitalization of these subnets. Moore wrote, "We believe that the early success of certain subnet-based applications, the increase in institutional capital within the Bittensor ecosystem, and the upcoming TAO supply halving could all be positive catalysts driving price increases." Previously, it was reported that Bittensor will undergo its first halving on December 14th, at which time the daily issuance of TAO will decrease to 3,600 tokens.

According to an article by crypto analyst Hanmu Xia published on Odaily Planet Daily, if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates and resumes balance sheet expansion this week, tight liquidity will return to normal. He anticipates a general rise in US stocks, crypto assets, and precious metals markets this week and throughout December. He also cited his November 11th article, stating that the Fed is expected to stop shrinking its balance sheet in December and may restart expansion, resulting in a liquidity environment similar to October 2019. A truly significant easing cycle may not occur until May next year, "after Trump takes control of the Fed," similar to the situation in March 2020.

According to an article by Matrixport, as the FOMC meeting on December 10th approaches, market attention is increasingly focused on policy signals. While Bitcoin has stabilized somewhat, the current trend is insufficient to confirm the start of a new upward phase. Options market pricing implies approximately 5% downside, indicating that funds are still hedging against potential pullback risks. Matrixport points out that the market is generally in a deleveraging and position-reducing phase at the end of the year, and short-term rebounds are more often seen as opportunities to reduce positions than new buying signals. Seasonally, liquidity tightens around Christmas, often suppressing the sustainability of price movements. The current key range for bulls and bears is roughly around $91,500, and the overall assessment remains that volatility will continue to converge, with a relatively low probability of a strong breakout immediately after the FOMC meeting.
