US November overall and core CPI significantly below expectations and previous values, with an overall YoY of 2.74%, consensus expectation 3.06%, previous 3.01%; core YoY 2.63%, consensus expectation 3.03%, previous 3.02%.
White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett welcomed the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released on Thursday. He stated, “I'm not saying we've declared victory on inflation, but this CPI report is surprisingly good. Wage growth has outpaced price increases, American taxpayers will receive substantial tax refunds next year, and the government will help drive down mortgage rates. The Federal Reserve has plenty of room to cut interest rates.”

1. Federal Reserve John Williams: Current data is not yet sufficient to confirm a continued decline in inflation; we need to wait for December data
Federal Reserve Chair John Williams stated that we need to wait for December data to more accurately assess inflation trends. The current data is not yet sufficient to confirm a sustained decline in inflation. November CPI data may have been underestimated due to technical factors, partly because data collection was disrupted in the first half of October and November, leading to distortions in some components, which may have suppressed the CPI by about 0.1 percentage points. The November CPI year-over-year is 2.7%, below the market expectation of 3.1%.

The era of building dedicated application chains has finally arrived
Author: Aadharsh Pannirselvam
In simple terms: Blockchain designed, built, and optimized for applications will bring disruptive changes. The most outstanding application chains next year will revolve around core components and fundamental principles, intentionally assembled with care.
Recently, developers, users, institutions, and capital rushing onto the chain are different from the past: they pay more attention to specific cultures (i.e., the definition of user experience) rather than pursuing abstract ideals like decentralization.

The biometric authentication project World (co-founded by Sam Altman) released a new version of the app, adding end-to-end encrypted chat called World Chat, and similar cryptocurrency payment capabilities like Venmo. The new app also supports receiving wages and recharging via virtual bank accounts, and converting funds into cryptocurrencies without completing World identity verification. World Chat uses end-to-end encryption similar to Signal and uses color indicators to alert users whether the other party has been verified through the World system.

The game involving the development of the Digital Asset Treasury Company (DAT) industry is ongoing.
In October, global index provider MSCI proposed to exclude companies holding 50% or more of their assets in digital assets from its global investable market index. This move directly threatens the market position of digital asset treasury companies represented by Strategy and could even rewrite the capital flow trends within the entire digital asset treasury industry.

In previous articles of the Interop series, we discussed the OIF (Intent Framework) and EIL (Interoperability Layer), which address the standardization of cross-chain intents (making the entire network understand what you want to do) and execution channels (enabling standardized movement of funds).
However, to achieve a perfect "single-chain experience," there is still a trade-off between speed and trust. After all, in the current interoperability experience, you either endure slowness (such as Optimistic Rollup requiring a 7-day challenge period to confirm finality) or sacrifice decentralization.

Ken Chang recently published an article titled "I Wasted Eight Years of My Life in Cryptocurrency," in which he painfully discusses the industry's inherent capital destruction and financial nihilism.
People in the crypto world often mock such "angry exit" articles and enjoy reminiscing about historical figures like Mike Hearn or Jeff Garzik who made high-profile exits back in the day (while also pointing out how much Bitcoin has risen since they left).
But Ken's article is largely correct. He states:
Cryptocurrencies claim to help decentralize the financial system, and I once believed it wholeheartedly, but the reality is, it is merely a super system of speculation and gambling.
