πŸš€ Bitcoin Price Volatility Expected Before 2025 Bullish Trend

According to BlockBeats, a report by David Lawant, Head of Research at cryptocurrency brokerage FalconX, suggests that Bitcoin is likely to experience price volatility in the near term before entering a 'bullish trajectory' in the first quarter of 2025. Lawant notes that as the year comes to a close, the low liquidity environment could lead to increased fluctuations, particularly with a significant Bitcoin options expiration event anticipated on December 27.

πŸš€ Bitcoin's MVRV-Z Score Suggests Potential Undervaluation

According to BlockBeats, recent data from CoinGlass indicates that Bitcoin's market value to realized value (MVRV) metric suggests the cryptocurrency is undervalued, despite reaching a historic high last week. The MVRV-Z score has decreased from 3.3 last week to 2.84. Historically, an MVRV-Z score below 3.7 indicates that the asset is undervalued.

The MVRV-Z score is a crucial indicator for assessing the market value and relative value of a token. It is calculated by subtracting the realized market value from the circulating market value and then dividing the result by the standard deviation. During Bitcoin's last major adjustment in March of this year, the MVRV score was 3.03, while in January 2021, it was 7. This suggests that Bitcoin may experience a strong recovery in the coming weeks.

πŸš€ Ohio Senator Moreno Joins Senate Banking Committee, Influences Cryptocurrency Legislation

According to Odaily, newly elected Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno is set to join the Senate Banking Committee, a key body overseeing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and instrumental in shaping cryptocurrency legislation. Moreno secured over $40 million from a pro-cryptocurrency Political Action Committee (PAC) to defeat incumbent Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, a known critic of digital currencies.

During his tenure as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Brown did not prioritize cryptocurrency legislation, hindering the passage of bills related to market structure and stablecoins, which frustrated industry stakeholders. Brown also supported Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's hearings on the use of cryptocurrencies by terrorist organizations and consistently called for regulatory oversight of the sector.

Ron Hammond, Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association, remarked on the irony of Brown, an opponent of cryptocurrencies, losing his seat to Moreno, a proponent. Moreno joins a strong lineup of pro-cryptocurrency senators, bringing unique expertise from his experience in running a blockchain company. His deep understanding of cryptocurrencies and business operations in the U.S. is expected to bolster the Senate Banking Committee's efforts.

As a member of the committee, Moreno will have a say in legislative details concerning U.S. economic policy, including cryptocurrency market structure, stablecoins, and potential national Bitcoin reserve legislation. Several Congress members have pledged to prioritize these topics in the coming year. South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott will chair the committee and determine which bills to prioritize. While Scott has expressed support for cryptocurrencies, he has not received the same level of financial backing from the industry as Moreno.

He emphasized that the Ministry of Energy is keen to collaborate with participants interested in long-term involvement with the Belarusian energy system.

Moroz also mentioned that incoming miners should contribute to developing the necessary infrastructure to help Minsk expand its cryptocurrency mining capabilities. He noted the significant potential and numerous inquiries received, suggesting that new projects are likely to commence soon. Additionally, the government is considering offering "incentive tariffs" to attract more cryptocurrency miners to the region.

πŸš€ Charles Hoskinson To Meet With U.S. Senators On Bipartisan Crypto Agenda

According to BlockBeats, on December 23, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson announced plans to meet with Democratic senators to advance a bipartisan agenda on cryptocurrency. Hoskinson intends to engage in discussions with senators, including John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, to promote crypto as a bipartisan issue.

Hoskinson remarked that many leaders believe that the understanding of crypto by Warren and Biden is flawed, and it is time to bring them into the fold. Despite Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown not securing a fourth term, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who remains a strong anti-crypto voice, was re-elected.

πŸš€ Sun Yuchen Discusses the Value of Issuing Tokens

According to Foresight News, Sun Yuchen recently shared his views on the issuance of tokens on X. He stated that issuing tokens is a financial tool and innovation, but it does not inherently create business value. He compared it to an IPO, which cannot determine whether a company is good or not. Sun emphasized that if a company's business model is flawed, going public will not save it. Conversely, if a business is strong, the right financial tools can enhance its value. He suggested that the true value of issuing tokens should be assessed by the business leader, who can best determine whether the process improves or complicates operations, enhances user experience, and addresses business challenges.

πŸš€ Dollar Rises As Market Bets On Cautious Fed Rate Cuts

According to Odaily, the dollar has strengthened as markets anticipate a cautious approach to interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group indicates that the market expects a cumulative rate cut of 38 basis points by December 2025. The Federal Reserve recently reduced rates by 25 basis points but signaled a slower pace for future cuts. Analysts from Deutsche Bank suggest that the Fed is likely to skip a rate cut in January next year, which could lead to a prolonged pause in policy easing until 2025.

πŸš€ South Korea Proposes Amendments To Foreign Exchange Law To Combat Virtual Asset Crimes

According to Foresight News, South Korean lawmaker Choi Eun-sik has introduced a bill to amend the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, aiming to prevent money laundering and other foreign exchange crimes involving virtual assets. The proposed amendments include establishing a monitoring system for virtual asset transactions, enhancing the regulatory framework for fintech foreign exchange services, improving the convenience of foreign exchange transactions for individuals and businesses, and advancing the intelligence of foreign exchange monitoring systems.

Data from the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) indicates a 48.8% increase in suspicious transaction reports by virtual asset businesses last year compared to the previous year. In response, the Ministry of Finance plans to introduce new definitions for virtual assets and virtual asset businesses next year. The proposed changes will require virtual asset businesses to register before conducting cross-border transactions and regularly report user transaction records to the Bank of Korea.

The amendments are expected to be implemented in the second half of next year.

πŸš€ Digital Asset Investment Sees Mixed Flows Amid Market Volatility

According to PANews, recent data from CoinShares reveals that digital asset investment products experienced a net inflow of $308 million last week. However, a significant single-day outflow of $576 million on December 19 led to a total outflow of $1 billion over the weekend. This was influenced by the hawkish policies of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), resulting in a $17.7 billion decrease in total assets under management (AuM) for digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs), representing 0.37% of the total AuM.

Despite these challenges, Bitcoin recorded a net inflow of $375 million for the week, with limited activity from short investors. Ethereum saw inflows of $51 million, while Solana experienced an outflow of $8.7 million. Multi-asset investment products faced a net outflow of $121 million. Nonetheless, some altcoins, including XRP with $8.8 million, Horizen with $4.8 million, and Polkadot with $1.9 million, managed to record net inflows.
