Bitcoin (BTC) Price Trend and Investor Sentiment Suggest a Bullish December

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of a potential bullish December, challenging a decade-old bearish seasonal pattern where November losses typically extend into year-end declines. Key factors supporting this shift include reduced leverage, with open interest dropping from $94 billion to $60 billion, and Bitcoin’s price reclaiming its monthly volume-weighted average price (rVWAP), indicating controlled distribution. Liquidity dynamics have also shifted, with deep liquidity clusters moving upward, and around $3 billion in short positions set to liquidate near $96,000. Market structure diverges from historical cycles due to spot ETF inflows, introducing constant structural demand and accelerating price discovery. Analysts note that Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, while not obsolete, is no longer time-aligned, resembling extended accumulation phases like mid-2016 or late-2019. Macro liquidity (M2) growth has plateaued, creating a late-cycle environment where risk assets rally despite underlying economic softening. Supporting indicators, such as CNY/USD and ETH/BTC correlations, along with improving PMI data and gold’s relative strength, suggest continued risk-on momentum rather than cycle fatigue. While buy-sell ratios show urgency, analysts caution this may reflect positioning squeeze rather than sustainable accumulation. Overall, December’s performance may depend more on structural forces—ETF flows, liquidity rotation, and shifting macro correlations—than traditional halving-driven周期 patterns.

SEC Approves Tokenized Securities—DTCC To Establish Blockchain Standards

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the DTCC to develop a securities tokenization program. Its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company, will establish standards for recording ownership of stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries on blockchain. This initiative aims to launch a pilot program in the second half of 2026. As the core of U.S. financial infrastructure, the DTCC processes quadrillions in transactions annually and will now define objective technology standards for tokenization. While it won’t mandate a specific blockchain, it will maintain a list of approved networks that meet its criteria. This move is expected to shape the future of tokenized securities globally, including decisions on approved blockchains and token data inscription requirements.

CFTC signals crypto reset, scraps 28-day delivery rule – Here’s why

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has withdrawn its 28-day "actual delivery" rule for virtual currencies, a move that removes a major regulatory barrier and allows regulated leveraged crypto products to operate under the Commodity Exchange Act. The outdated rule had classified transactions not settled within 28 days as futures contracts, triggering strict regulations. Its elimination enables Bitcoin and Ethereum to be treated more like traditional commodities, shifting trading from offshore platforms to U.S. oversight. The CFTC is developing new guidance and has launched a pilot program allowing digital assets like BTC, ETH, and USDC to be used as collateral in regulated derivatives markets. This step aims to modernize regulation and provide clearer frameworks for the crypto industry.
