Federal Reserve's Williams: Job Slowdown and Easing Inflation Risks Support Fed Rate Cut

Federal Reserve's Williams stated that the cooling labor market and easing inflation risks provided the basis for the Fed's decision to cut rates last week. This was Williams' first public comment on the rate cut decision. He expressed increasing confidence that price increases will continue to slow. Williams noted that inflation is "temporarily staying" above the Fed's target, but he believes inflation may continue to decline as the impact of tariffs is absorbed by the broader economy next year. Meanwhile, he indicated that while employment conditions have not sharply deteriorated, they are gradually cooling, as reflected in official data and consumer and business surveys. Williams stated that overall, these changes in pressure on the Fed's two economic goals supported last week's rate cut decision.

Federal Reserve Governor Milan: May Continue to Serve After Term Ends in Late January Until Successor is Confirmed

Federal Reserve Governor Milan indicated that he is likely to continue serving after his term ends in late January until a new governor is confirmed to fill his vacancy. Milan's plan to remain on the board comes as Trump considers candidates to replace Fed Chair Powell, who will step down in May. Since Powell has not indicated whether he will resign from the board after his chair term ends, Trump is expected to use Milan's seat to arrange for his nominated chair candidate to join the board. Trump hinted that a decision on the chair candidate could be made early next year and made it clear that he would only choose someone who supports his calls for significant rate cuts. Milan stated on Monday, "I expect to continue in this role until someone else is confirmed to take my seat." However, Milan noted that whether he will continue to dissent on rate decisions will depend on the subsequent policy actions of officials.

Grayscale: Quantum Computing Unlikely to Affect Cryptocurrency Prices in 2026

In its latest report, "2026 Digital Asset Outlook," Grayscale stated that while quantum computing poses long-term security challenges, it is unlikely to significantly impact cryptocurrency market prices in 2026, calling it a "false alarm" for the coming year. The asset management company believes that the quantum threat is real but is unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuations in the short term. The report cites estimates that quantum systems capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography may not emerge until at least 2030. Grayscale analysts noted that research and preparation for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but this issue is unlikely to affect valuations in the coming year.

Bitfinex Alpha Report: 2026 Will Be the Year of Liquidity, Crypto ETP AUM May Exceed $400 Billion

The latest Bitfinex Alpha report indicates that 2026 will be the year of liquidity, with Bitcoin's price increasingly influenced by demand-side factors and macroeconomic conditions, rather than solely its mechanical scarcity. This shift is expected to be particularly evident in 2025. Since 2024, Bitcoin's decline has been significantly smaller, reflecting a market dominated by patient long-term capital rather than speculative retail funds. In 2026, liquidity will increasingly become a major driver of Bitcoin's performance, and institutional investors' acceptance of cryptocurrencies will continue to deepen, with crypto ETP assets under management (AUM) expected to exceed $400 billion by the end of 2026.

Analysis: Bitcoin Falls Below $87,000, Weakness in Crypto Market Intensifies

The cryptocurrency market started the week lower, with weakness intensifying as Bitcoin fell back to the $86,800 range and Ethereum dropped to $3,000.

Cryptocurrency-related stocks were also impacted, with Strategy and Circle both down 7% on the day. Coinbase fell over 5%, while cryptocurrency mining companies CLSK, HUT, and WULF saw their stock prices plummet over 10%. As the U.S. government gradually resumes operations after a prolonged shutdown, the Labor Statistics Bureau will release employment reports for October and November this week. These data will be closely monitored to help determine whether the Fed will continue to cut rates in early 2026.

10x Research: Bitcoin Enters Bear Market, but Opportunities for Returns Still Exist

10x Research posted on the X platform that Bitcoin has undoubtedly entered a bear market. The agency stated that it has been writing analysis reports on this bear market since October 22.

On-chain metrics, capital flows, and market structure all point to the early stages of a broader decline. 10x Research noted that while some investors struggle to profit in a bull market, others can achieve returns in a bear market by adjusting their strategies. Every bear market will eventually give way to a new bull market cycle, during which cyclical opportunities worth exploiting will arise.
