A recent research report released by Bank of America indicates that amid a fundamental shift in regulatory attitudes, the US banking industry is entering a multi-year "on-chain" transition phase. As the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Federal Reserve begin to establish clear regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and tokenized deposits, cryptocurrency policies are moving from discussion to implementation. The research team led by analyst Ebrahim Poonawala stated that a recent series of regulatory approvals and rule proposals signify that the US financial system is laying the institutional groundwork for real-world assets and payments to go on-chain. OCC has recently conditionally approved five digital asset companies to obtain national trust bank licenses, which is seen as an important step toward the federal-level official acceptance of stablecoin issuance and crypto asset custody. These activities must be conducted in the form of trust services and meet strict requirements for liquidity, compliance, and risk management.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Negentropic, co-founder of Glassnode, posted an analysis on the X platform about the impact of Japan's interest rate hikes. He pointed out that what the market fears is not tightening but uncertainty. Sometimes, market volatility can actually be an opportunity. Japan's central bank normalization has brought clarity to the global capital markets, and Bitcoin often thrives after experiencing policy pressure. Previous analyses suggested that Japan's interest rate hikes might not trigger risk-averse sentiment in the crypto market. First, speculators currently hold a net long (bullish) position in the Japanese yen, so it is unlikely they will react quickly to the Bank of Japan's rate hikes. Secondly, Japan's government bond yields have continued to rise this year, with both short-term and long-term yield curves reaching multi-decade highs. The upcoming rate hikes reflect that official interest rates are catching up with market levels, indicating a lower likelihood of risk-avoidance sentiment emerging by the end of the year.

PANews December 13 News, according to CoinDesk, Japan's last interest rate hike caused the yen to rise, triggering a sharp increase in market risk aversion sentiment, which led to Bitcoin prices falling from about $65,000 to $50,000. However, the upcoming yen interest rate hike may not trigger risk aversion in the crypto market for two reasons: First, speculators currently hold a net long (bullish) position in yen, making it unlikely for them to react quickly to the Bank of Japan's rate hike; second, Japan's government bond yields have continued to climb this year, with both short-term and long-term yields hitting multi-decade highs. Therefore, the upcoming rate increase reflects that official interest rates are catching up with market trends. Meanwhile, this week, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points while introducing liquidity measures, bringing rates to their lowest level in three years. Overall, these factors indicate a clear unwind of yen arbitrage positions and a year-end risk aversion sentiment.

Cross-chain interoperability protocol deBridge announces the launch of a brand new execution primitive, deBridge Bundles, designed to fundamentally simplify on-chain interactions for users and developers, reducing multi-layer complexity during DeFi usage. This model allows users to sign only an "intention" that describes the final result, with the protocol automatically completing execution, eliminating the need to manually handle transactions, gas, or cross-chain steps. Traditional on-chain operations often require users to deal with slippage, gas estimation, transaction retries, and cross-chain asset management. deBridge states in its announcement that Bundles shift the execution logic from chain-level operations to a "result-oriented" model, removing cumbersome steps and making user operations closer to a one-click experience. Meanwhile, developers can focus on application-layer logic without having to build complex execution and retry frameworks themselves, significantly shortening development cycles and enhancing product stability.

As a result, x402 is gradually becoming a neutral payment layer connecting crypto finance and traditional finance, simplifying cross-network settlement processes and providing more compatible payment infrastructure for AI agents, automation services, and Web applications.

Selling pressure has notably decreased, but overall market sentiment remains cautious. ETF capital inflows slightly rebounded to $56.5 million, after experiencing weekly redemptions exceeding $1.1 billion in November. Market focus has now shifted to tonight's Federal Reserve FOMC meeting. Although rate decision expectations are well priced in by the market, investors will closely watch Powell’s comments.

On Monday, MicroBT officially launched its new generation of WhatsMiner mining machines—the M70 series—in Abu Dhabi. Despite Bitcoin mining revenues currently being at multi-year lows, the company has chosen to introduce a product line with higher energy efficiency. The M70 series covers three efficiency tiers: 12.5 J/TH, 13.5 J/TH, and 14.5 J/TH, offering both air-cooled and water-cooled models. The single-unit hashrate ranges from the entry-level M70 at around 214 TH/s to the rack-mounted M79S at over 1 PH/s, targeting ultra-large-scale mining farms and advanced energy solutions. This launch comes at a time when mining economics are extremely tight. According to market data, Bitcoin hashprice has dropped to about $35 per PH/s/day, nearing historic lows; meanwhile, network hashrate remains above 1 ZH/s, increasing revenue pressure on miners.

A San Jose woman, Margaret Loke, uncovered a cryptocurrency "pig-butchering" scam with the help of ChatGPT after losing nearly a million dollars. Last year, Loke met a man calling himself "Ed" on Facebook and developed a romantic relationship with him over WhatsApp. Ed then guided her to transfer funds into a fake crypto account under his control. The initial amount was $15,000; afterward, Loke withdrew over $490,000 from her personal retirement account and applied for a $300,000 second mortgage, resulting in a total loss of nearly $1 million. When her account was frozen and the other party demanded another $1 million to unfreeze it, Loke sought help from ChatGPT. The AI warned her that this was a typical scam and advised her to call the police. An investigation later confirmed that Loke had been wiring money to Malaysian banks, where the funds were withdrawn by the scam ring.

Expectations are rising that Japan may conduct large-scale sell-offs of U.S. Treasuries, and this potential shock is spreading from traditional financial markets to the crypto industry, especially Tether (USDT), which is deeply tied to U.S. Treasuries. Japan currently holds $1.189 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, making it the largest foreign holder globally, but as Japanese government bond yields hit multi-year highs, the attractiveness of holding U.S. Treasuries is declining. Analysis indicates that the U.S.-Japan yield spread has narrowed from 3.5% to 2.4% within six months. If it drops to around 2%, it will significantly boost the incentive for capital to flow back to Japan, potentially prompting Japanese institutions to sell as much as $500 billion in U.S. Treasuries. The broader yen carry trade amounts to $1.2 trillion; if interest rates rise and the yen strengthens, this structure could quickly unravel, triggering a chain of global asset liquidations.
