Opinion: The DAT Bubble has largely burst, and companies need to hold their positions and wait fo...BlockBeats News, December 6th, according to a report by CoinDesk, James Butterfill, Research Director at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, stated in a report that the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) bubble has essentially burst. By the summer of 2025, companies trading at prices 3 to 10 times their market value net asset value (mNAV), which once saw token treasuries as a growth engine, have now fallen back to around 1 times or lower levels, experiencing a sharp correction in the trading model.The next trend will depend on market behavior: either price declines triggering disorderly selling, or companies holding their positions and waiting for a rebound. Butterfill said he is more inclined towards the latter, citing improved macroeconomic conditions and a potential interest rate cut in December, which would provide support for cryptocurrencies. Butterfill pointed out that the bigger challenge lies in structural issues. Previously, a group of companies accumulated mega-scale treasury assets in the open market but failed to build a sustainable business, leading to reputational damage.Today, investors' tolerance for equity dilution without actual operating income and excessive concentration of single assets is decreasing. There are signs indicating that stronger companies are now incorporating Bitcoin into rigorous treasury and forex management strategies, demonstrating a healthier development trend.

September Core PCE Inflation Cools, Setting the Stage for Fed Rate Cut Next WeekBlockBeats News, December 5th, the Fed's favored inflation gauge stayed below 3% in September and showed a moderate monthly price increase, which may not hinder the Fed's consideration of a rate cut at the meeting next week. The U.S. Commerce Department said on Friday that the September PCE price index rose by 0.3% on a monthly basis, pushing the annual rate up slightly from 2.7% in August to 2.8%. The core PCE annual rate, excluding the more volatile food and energy prices, fell from 2.9% in August to 2.8%.The monthly price increase was broadly in line with Wall Street's expectations. Normally, the Fed would have a full picture of October inflation and November employment before holding its final meeting of the year.However, the government shutdown delayed the release of this data, leaving the Fed to weigh its next move based on a set of outdated official economic indicators. At next week's meeting, Fed officials will discuss how to strike a balance between soaring inflation and a cooling labor market, a challenging dynamic that poses a threat to both of the Fed's dual mandates.

Yi Li Hua: Fusaka Upgrade Causes Ethereum Gas Blob Fee Surge Due to EIP-7918 Fee FloorBlockBeats News, December 5th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Eric Yaohua posted on social media, stating, "After the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade, the blob base fee surged by 15 million times. The core reason is the addition of the EIP-7918, which introduces a blob fee 'base fee' mechanism. Previously, the blob fee had no minimum limit and was stuck at 1 wei (almost free) for a long time, causing nodes to bear costs such as KZG verification without reasonable returns. After the upgrade, the blob fee needs to be ≥1/15.258 of the L1 execution base fee, directly anchoring to the actual network cost.This design not only allows prices to reflect actual resource consumption (avoiding L2 free occupation of network resources) but also adjusts blob traffic through price fluctuations to prevent congestion. At the same time, PeerDAS technology has increased blob storage capacity. In addition, the blob fee is included in the ETH burning mechanism. It is estimated that in the future, it may burn 8 times more ETH, and by 2026, it is expected to contribute to 30-50% of the total burn (depending on the growth of L2 transaction volume)."

If Ethereum breaks above $3200, the total open interest liquidation on major CEXs will reach $764...BlockBeats News, December 5th, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum breaks above $3200, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach $764 million.Conversely, if Ethereum drops below $3000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach $973 million.BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to neighboring clusters, i.e., intensity.Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent reaching a certain price level will have an impact. Higher "liquidation bars" indicate that the price reaching that level will generate a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

Analysis: September Core PCE Below Expectations to Give Fed Green Light for Further Rate CutsBlockBeats News, December 5th: A key inflation indicator released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday showed that inflation in September was lower than expected. This delayed report, due to the government shutdown, further paved the way for the Fed to cut interest rates. The core PCE price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose by 0.2% on a monthly basis and 2.8% annually. While the monthly rate was in line with general expectations, the annual rate was 0.1 percentage point lower than expected.In addition, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, overall personal consumption expenditures rose by 0.3% monthly, with an annual inflation rate of 2.8%.Both of these data points met expectations. Federal Reserve officials use the PCE price index as a key policy tool to measure inflation. While officials consider both headline and core data, they generally view core data as a better indicator of long-term inflation trends. The report was delayed by several weeks due to the government shutdown, during which all data collection and economic reporting were paused. (Krypton Finance)

U.S. Consumer Confidence Edges Up in December, Overall Sentiment Remains CautiousBlockBeats News, December 5th - Joanne Hsu, Director of Consumer Surveys at the University of Michigan, stated that at the beginning of December, the Consumer Confidence Index rose by 2.3 points to 53.3, with the increase falling within the margin of error. This month's growth was mainly concentrated among young consumers. Despite little change in views on the current situation, there was an improvement in expectations — with personal financial expectations rising by 13%. Improvement trends were observed across all age, income, education, and political orientation groups.However, the Personal Financial Expectations Index in December was still nearly 12% lower than at the beginning of the year. While there was a slight improvement in labor market expectations, it remains relatively sluggish. Consumers believe that some indicators have slightly improved compared to November, but overall sentiment remains generally cautious, with high price burdens continuing to be a major point of concern.Looking ahead, the one-year inflation expectation decreased from 4.5% in November to 4.1% in December, the lowest level since January 2025, marking the fourth consecutive month of decline. However, short-term inflation expectations remain higher than 3.3% in January. Long-term inflation expectations decreased from 3.4% in November to 3.2% in December, aligning with the January 2025 reading. (Jin10)

BOFA: Market Likely to Soon Price in Fed Jan CutBlockBeats News, December 5th: Bank of America pointed out that despite the Federal Reserve sending a cautious policy signal, the market may soon start to more actively bet on a rate cut in January next year.
