Macroeconomic Situation

Bridgewater Founder Ray Dalio: My Deep Thoughts on the Results of the U.S. Midterm Elections

The election results have only changed the specific individuals responsible for handling issues, but they do not change the objective realities that the U.S. faces, such as the enormous debt, wealth disparity, competition among major powers, and challenges in climate and technology. Faced with temporary fiscal appropriations due in December and the federal debt ceiling approaching in the spring of 2027, the polarization and confrontation between the two parties not only make it difficult to bridge the deficit but may also undermine the credit foundation of U.S. debt as the global core collateral.

Bank of America: The Chip Stock Sell-Off May Bottom Out in Early 2027, Stock Prices Typically Lead Fundamentals by 6-9 Months

The magnitude of this downturn has exceeded the historical average, but its duration is not even half of the historical mean. Concerns about the slowdown in AI capital expenditures have led to a non-discriminatory sell-off of chip stocks.

This “indiscriminate selling” may conclude in early 2027. In the past few cycles, the decline of the SOX index has typically led to an actual decline in semiconductor sales by 6-9 months, followed by an average rebound of about 42% once earnings expectations are fully digested.

Surging 8% After Earnings, Can CoreWeave Avoid Elon Musk's Death Predictions?

CoreWeave delivered its third-quarter financial report for 2026, which is regarded as a "life and death test" for the entire new cloud track. The impressive data directly counters the "computing power going to waste" theory, but the debt pressure remains enormous.

Policy and Stablecoins

Democrats Regain Control of Congress, Will Heavy-Handed Crypto Investigations Follow?

U.S. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal has issued a new round of letters to Binance, Tether, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and Fight Fight Fight LLC (FFF), which is behind the TRUMP token, demanding that the four companies voluntarily submit the previously requested investigation records and information before January 4, 2027.

The Democratic Party's investigations have touched on multiple connections between the crypto industry and U.S. politics, from exchange sanctions compliance to stablecoin companies' lobbying expenditures, to the token business of the president’s family. In the new Congress, the crypto industry must strive for clearer rules while also facing stricter accountability.

Countdown to the "GENIUS Act": Of the Top Ten Dollar Stablecoins, Only USDC and PYUSD Survive

The "GENIUS Act" will officially take effect on January 18, 2027. According to this act, "payment stablecoins" issued in the U.S. or offered to U.S. users must use highly liquid assets for full reserves — U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities not exceeding 93 days, overnight reverse repurchase agreements backed by treasury bonds, bank deposits, and other qualified assets.

However, based on circulation, among the ten largest dollar stablecoins in the U.S., only two currently meet the reserve structure requirements of GENIUS, accounting for 26% of the total circulation. Another two are expected to comply soon, making up 2%. The remaining 72% do not meet the standard: 65% are stablecoins issued offshore, and 7% are crypto-collateralized.

DAT Hit Again: MSCI Excludes Three Treasury Companies, How Long Can Financing to Buy Coins Last?

MSCI announced the results of the index review for November 2026, excluding Strategy, Metaplanet, and the treasury company Upexi from the SOL ecosystem, with related adjustments taking effect after the market closes on November 30.

The three treasury companies face passive adjustment selling pressure. Among them, the potential selling pressure from Strategy is the most concerning. The company disclosed in a previous consultation response that a fund tracking the MSCI Global Investable Market Index (GIMI) holds about 13 million shares of MSTR, accounting for 3.1% of its basic equity. Based on the closing price of $121.07 on November 10, the market value of this stock is approximately $1.57 billion.

Whether financing to buy coins can continue depends on how much return can be brought to shareholders through increased holdings. If the company holds more and more crypto assets, but the assets corresponding to each share for shareholders have not increased, it will be challenging to attract investors in the next round of financing.

The New York Stock Exchange Uses Avalanche to Settle Tokenized Stocks, But AVAX Might Not Get a Slice

The NYSE's 7×24 small times tokenized securities trading platform will only use Avalanche to settle tokenized stocks, and regulatory approval must be obtained before the Q4 launch.

Neither Ava Labs’ announcement nor the NYSE’s statement mentioned the use of AVAX tokens in settlement, fees, or staking. According to the mechanisms of the Avalanche customized L1, AVAX's direct revenue comes only from validator continuation fees. Settlement activities on the NYSE's custom chain do not fall within AVAX's capture range.

Vitalik "Exposes" the Destruction Effect, ETH Value Narrative Shifts

The support of transaction fee destruction for valuation has limitations, and excessive pursuit of destruction may also harm the network's decentralization and resistance to capture, while value storage is more in line with Ethereum's advantages in security, privacy, and stability.

The EIP-1559 and its destruction mechanism should still be retained. Ethereum should focus more on ETH's value storage attributes.

When Bitmine Stops Buying Coins, How Much Net Buying Power Will ETH Lose?

Bitmine's total holdings officially climbed to 6,070,092 coins, valued at approximately $13.6 billion, accounting for 4.97% of Ethereum's current total supply. According to official figures, this ratio has reached 99% of its strategic goal of "holding 5% of the total supply of ETH."

Once this final 1% purchase is completed, Bitmine's ETH buying actions will be paused, which have continued for over a year.

Looking solely at the numbers, this disappearance of net buying power has a massive impact on ETH. However, Bitmine's "violent accumulation period" has long passed, and in recent months, its actual impact on ETH prices has been very limited. The secondary market has already adapted to and digested life without Bitmine's net buying power amid fluctuations over the past few months.

Testing Employee Loyalty with "Meme Culture"? The Ethereum Foundation Really Made a Big Deal This Time

Former employee Nixo has sued the Ethereum Foundation, Vitalik, and others in a federal court in Colorado. She claims that she was dismissed by the Ethereum Foundation thirteen days after informing management of her cancer diagnosis in writing and twelve days after participating in organizing a "joint petition" among foundation employees. What pushed this matter into the spotlight was a "harakiri permit" that appeared in the foundation's mission statement, which not all employees accepted.
