December 25th, the crypto market continues to differentiate. The NFT sector rose against the trend by 2.33%, with relatively active trading, while emerging tracks like Layer2 and PayFi faced slight pressure. On the other hand, the US stock S&P 500 index hit a new intraday all-time high, but overall trading remained subdued, and the impact of liquidity drying up during the holiday period is still evident.

Interestingly, Circle recently launched tokenized gold and silver swap services based on USDC, which is another new direction for stablecoin application exploration. Combining traditional precious metals with on-chain assets makes logical sense, but actual adoption will depend on market response. Overall, the market shows a typical institutional cautious attitude ahead of the holiday, with faster rotation of hot spots and some new concept sectors maintaining attention.

The recent surge in NFTs is quite interesting, while other sectors are taking a hit... --- Layer2 has really been feeling stifled these days, it seems like no one is paying attention --- Stablecoins linked to precious metals? Honestly, there's some imagination there, but I don't know who would actually use it --- Market activity during the holiday season is indeed very quiet, liquidity drying up is a recurring theme every year --- Circle's recent actions are probably a form of self-rescue, depends on whether there's real trading volume afterward --- It's no surprise that the US stock market hit new highs, but such market conditions carry significant risks --- It's quite extraordinary that NFTs can go against the trend, indicating that institutions are still hunting --- During Christmas, trading volume is really hard to see, let's wait until the New Year --- The idea of bringing gold and silver onto the blockchain sounds fresh, but how likely is it to actually materialize?

NFT has risen against the trend again. Who's still buying at this critical moment? It indicates that there are still bottom signals. Circle's gold and silver metal swap is quite interesting, but I wonder if it will become the next PPT project. Layer2 is so sluggish. Is it really a liquidity issue or has the market already shifted? Trading is slow during holidays, but hot topics change very quickly. It looks like a game of hot potato. I am optimistic about the direction of stablecoins combined with traditional assets, just worried that not many people will actually use them. The S&P 500 hit a new high again, which is truly outrageous. The US is really stable. Wait, how did NFT outperform in this round of rally? Need to research who has been manipulating the market recently.

Why do NFTs rise against the trend when liquidity has dried up? Surely there's a story behind it.

NFT at this point can still defy the trend, indicating that there are still people playing. Layer2 being held down is indeed a bit frustrating. Circle is promoting precious metal swaps, politely called innovation, but I think 99% is still just hype and concept trading. How many people are truly using it? Institutions are watching cautiously, retail investors are chasing hot topics. If this rhythm continues, it will be a bit tiring. The S&P hits a new high but liquidity is drying up. Isn't this just an artificial high? Let's see how long this rotation can last. It feels like a top could be reached at any time.
