Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to monitoring by 10X Research, blockchain-based prediction markets are attracting more speculators who are seeking returns beyond simply holding spot cryptocurrencies. Prediction markets are becoming a new arena for speculation, leading to "extreme information asymmetry and obvious arbitrage windows" between retail investors and professional data-driven traders. The report points out that, for quantitative traders, prediction markets can offer asymmetric returns that are more advantageous compared to the upside potential of spot tokens. For example, on the decentralized prediction market Polymarket, the "Yes" shares for whether the BNB token will reach $1,500 by December 31, 2025, once traded at around $0.01, meaning there could be a potential 100x return if the event occurs. However, the high win rate of some prediction market accounts has sparked concerns about insider trading.

A recent report by The New York Times on stablecoins has sparked strong backlash within the crypto industry. Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer at Variant Fund, criticized the article as a “complete hit piece,” arguing that it deliberately exaggerates the role of stablecoins in global illicit finance while ignoring data context and progress in industry regulation. The report claims that stablecoins are becoming the “tool of choice” for money launderers and sanctioned entities, citing Chainalysis data stating that over $25 billion in illicit funds flowed through stablecoins in 2024. The New York Times further warns that as Russian-affiliated individuals and terrorist organizations use cryptocurrencies, dollar-pegged tokens could weaken the United States’ ability to leverage the dollar-based sanctions system.

At the upcoming December 10 FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve, the market widely expects a 25 basis point rate cut, adjusting the interest rate range to 3.50%—3.75%. The current probability of a rate cut is as high as 87.2%. If the rate cut proceeds as expected, risk assets may be boosted, and the crypto market could see a short-term rebound. However, if there is a hawkish surprise, it could suppress capital inflows, especially given that Bitcoin has fallen 20% over the past 90 days. Driven by policy expectations, market analysis highlights three altcoins that could benefit from the rate cut: FARTCOIN, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Double Zero (2Z).

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently proposed the creation of a “trustless on-chain gas futures market,” aiming to allow users and developers to lock in future gas costs in advance to hedge against uncertainties caused by transaction fee volatility. This proposal quickly sparked heated discussions within the community and drew skepticism from several industry experts. Buterin stated on X that although Ethereum has significantly reduced network congestion through several recent scaling upgrades, users are still concerned about whether transaction fees will remain low over the next two years. He suggested establishing a system similar to a “base fee prediction market,” enabling users to pre-purchase gas for specific time periods and allowing the market to transparently reflect expectations for future gas fees. Gas fees have long experienced sharp fluctuations due to changes in network activity. During periods of high activity in NFTs, DeFi, or popular tokens, fees often spike rapidly, making it difficult for users to plan costs in advance. With Ethereum’s recent Fusaka upgrade, the block gas limit has been raised to 60 million and network structure has been optimized, leading to some easing of gas volatility, but the long-term trend remains uncertain.

As stablecoin adoption accelerates globally, the potential growth of the Polygon ecosystem has become a market focus. However, despite the expansion of stablecoin infrastructure bringing more transaction scenarios to the network, Polygon’s native token MATIC still faces the dual pressure of sluggish trading volume and intensifying competition, with its price hovering around key support levels. Industry analysis indicates that the adoption rate of stablecoins in banks, fintech platforms, and enterprise ecosystems is rapidly increasing, and Polygon has gained an edge in this trend thanks to its low fees, high throughput, and wide integration with payment networks. Aishwary Gupta, Polygon’s Global Head of Payments and Real-World Assets, predicts that by 2030, more than 100,000 stablecoins could be issued worldwide, covering banks, enterprises, sovereign nations, and commercial networks. Stablecoins will become a key tool for closed-loop payments in enterprises, while banks may also issue on-chain deposit tokens to keep funds on their own balance sheets.

Solana's price remains strong amid market uncertainty, successfully holding a key support range for approximately 18 months. As traders bet on the Federal Reserve signaling an upcoming shift toward easing, Solana is benefiting from strengthened macro expectations, improved technical indicators, and continuous ecosystem expansion, leading to an increasingly optimistic overall market sentiment. Ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting, the market widely expects the Federal Reserve to turn dovish due to a weakening labor market and cooling inflation. Historical data shows that accommodative policies typically boost liquidity and enhance the performance of risk assets. Cryptocurrencies—especially tokens like Solana, considered high-growth assets—often benefit significantly in such environments.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has obtained court authorization to compel NFT platform Dapper Labs to submit data on 2,500 users, indicating that the country is significantly stepping up enforcement of cryptocurrency and NFT tax compliance. This move stems from court documents filed in September 2025, aiming to investigate whether users have unreported crypto income. According to the court order, Dapper Labs must provide authorities with identity information and transaction records of specific users. Although the CRA initially requested data on about 18,000 accounts, the scope was narrowed to 2,500 users after negotiations. Notably, Dapper Labs itself has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Its products include well-known NFT projects such as NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties.

As Bitcoin enters a key time window in the second week of December, two analysts with vastly different backgrounds have given completely opposite predictions for its trend. One is legendary trader Peter Brandt, who has decades of experience, and the other is YoungHoon Kim, known as the “world’s highest IQ person” with an IQ of 276. Their disagreement highlights that even top intelligence or highly experienced experts can arrive at entirely different conclusions about the crypto market. Brandt believes that Bitcoin’s current rebound is merely a retest of an “expanding top formation.” He points out that this pattern usually signals waning upward momentum and that the price may drop significantly in the future. According to his technical analysis, Bitcoin could surge to $102,000 in the short term, but may then pull back to around $58,840. He has repeatedly warned that the current market has characteristics of a “dead cat bounce,” cautioning investors against excessive optimism.
