According to Odaily Planet Daily, some macro analysts believe that if the Bank of Japan raises interest rates as expected on December 19th, Bitcoin may further retrace to the $70,000 level. Analyst AndrewBTC, tracking historical data, points out that since 2024, every rate hike by the Bank of Japan has been accompanied by a Bitcoin price drop of over 20%, such as a drop of approximately 23% in March 2024, approximately 26% in July 2024, and approximately 31% in January 2025. If the Bank of Japan raises rates next week, similar downside risks may reappear. (Cointelegraph)

Huoxun Finance reported on December 14th that the Procuratorial Daily published an article titled "Establishing Multiple Judicial Disposal Paths for Virtual Currency Cases Involving Criminal Offenses." The article proposes improving the judicial disposal path for virtual currency cases involving criminal offenses in the following ways: First, clarify the legal status and role of third-party institutions. Future legislation could include third-party institutions in the category of judicial auction assistants, granting them exclusive qualifications for "one-time, targeted, and non-public bidding." Second, construct a dual system of technical standards and procedural norms. The Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, together with financial regulatory departments, would jointly issue dual standards. Price assessment would use the average price of the 20 days prior to the transaction date or the victim's acquisition cost as a benchmark, unify the on-chain evidence storage format, and directly transfer the proceeds to a special fiscal account to prevent funds from flowing back into cryptocurrency trading channels. Third, strengthen the connection between prosecutorial supervision and rights protection throughout the entire process. The procuratorial organs would participate in the entire disposal process, requiring third-party institutions to submit regular progress reports and establishing a mechanism for informing and addressing objections. Fourth, explore differentiated disposal models. Differentiated approaches are applied to three disposal measures: liquidation, destruction, and return. For cases involving the return of victims' assets, a targeted auction-based liquidation model can be prioritized to ensure full refund of proceeds. For example, if victims have not yet redeemed stablecoins after being defrauded, they can be returned in their original currency if they wish, provided it complies with regulations, avoiding exchange rate losses. For cases involving the confiscation of contraband, destruction or technical sealing models can be used to prevent re-entry into the market. For example, for tokens specifically used for pyramid schemes or gambling, if liquidity is poor and market depth is insufficient, forced liquidation may lead to devaluation; therefore, they can be destroyed according to law, with the destruction record recorded in the judgment. For high-value currencies whose proceeds from crime have been mixed with legitimate investments, liquidation is prioritized to maximize the recovery of losses. Furthermore, for cases involving smaller sums or those difficult to trace technically, simplified procedures can be explored, such as a comprehensive assessment model. This involves determining the value and ownership of the virtual currency involved based on relevant evidence when the circulation path cannot be fully traced.
