Silver reaches a historic milestone. On December 17, 2025, the silver price broke through $66 per ounce, with an intraday high of $66.52, and the global market capitalization rose to approximately $3.7 trillion, officially surpassing Google's parent company Alphabet to become the fourth largest asset worldwide. Just prior to that, on December 11, silver had just overtaken Microsoft, crossing multiple tech giants within a few days, highlighting a significant shift in its position in global asset allocation. Since the beginning of this year, silver prices have increased by approximately 127%, not only demonstrating its inflation hedge properties but also reflecting a structural surge in modern industrial demand for silver. On a macro level, the divergence between US employment and inflation data, along with market expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged, has driven capital flows into precious metals and other alternative assets; on a fundamental level, industrial demand has become the core driving force behind silver's rise.

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) has recently shown a clear weakening trend. Against the backdrop of the overall crypto market under pressure, the price risk continues to grow. Over the past week, NEAR has declined approximately 11.4%, with a drop of 5.7% in the last 24 hours alone. During Bitcoin's brief rebound above $90,000 and subsequent quick retreat to around $85,700, market sentiment shifted back to defensive, with small and mid-cap tokens like NEAR bearing the brunt. A single-day decline of over 5% in Bitcoin significantly impacted the already fragile risk appetite, causing NEAR traders' expectations to turn more bearish. Although NEAR futures open interest temporarily increased by 13% on Monday, rising from $122 million to $138 million, spot trading volume and funding rates also briefly rose, indicating some short-term funds attempting to bet on a rebound. However, this momentum did not last, and the price quickly weakened again.

BlockBeats News, December 17th, Tuesday: US non-farm payroll data shows that the unemployment rate in November has risen from 4% when President Trump took office to 4.6%. Such an increase is not a good sign, but it is not uncommon in history. According to WSJ statistics, since 1953, six US presidents have experienced an increase in the unemployment rate within the first ten months of their first term (Trump is actually in his second term, but it is non-consecutive), including: Eisenhower (unemployment rate rose from 2.9% to 3.5%), Nixon (3.4% to 3.5%), Ford (5.5% to 8.8%), Reagan (7.5% to 8.3%), George W. Bush (4.2% to 5.5%), Obama (7.8% to 9.9%). Among them, Ford succeeded Nixon after his resignation, so the data comparison is less reliable. In the remaining five cases

ChainCatcher 消息，据金十报道，“美联储传声筒”Nick Timiraos表示，截至 11 月，私营部门在过去六个月的就业人数平均增加了 44,000 人，保持在 10 月份水平。这是疫情后重新开放周期中招聘速度最慢的一次。同时，11 月份失业率升至 4.573%，比 9 月的 4.44%上升了 13 个基点。鲍威尔在上周表示，美联储认为其政策设定将使失业率趋于稳定，或“只会再上升 0.1 或 0.2 个百分点”。

November US non-farm payroll data slightly above expectations, increased by 64,000, but the unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, drawing attention from the Federal Reserve. Despite the rise in labor force participation rate and increased expectations for rate cuts, the market reacted positively. Note the data revisions for August and September.

Golden Finance reports that Oracle (ORCL.N)'s aggressive AI spending plans have drawn significant attention to its bonds as Wall Street searches for cracks in the AI boom. JPMorgan credit analyst Erica Spear expects that the pressure on the company's bonds will persist into next year. Last week, Oracle's stock experienced its largest decline in nearly 11 months, and its credit risk indicator also rose to a 16-year high. The company's earnings report showed revenue below market expectations, while it increased its annual capital expenditure target by $15 billion and more than doubled its future leasing commitments. Co-CEO Clay Magouyrk stated that the company is committed to maintaining its investment-grade debt rating, and its actual borrowing scale may be less than the analyst forecast of over $100 billion. Spear said, “The challenge for investors is precisely this: management continues to almost entirely fund investments through debt, even though this does not make sense.”

Hasset was originally considered a strong candidate for Federal Reserve Chair, but his close relationship with Trump sparked opposition, reducing his chances from 80% to 51%. Meanwhile, Waller's chances rose to 44%. The market worries that Hasset's potential appointment could cause volatility and affect long-term yields. In response to criticism, Hasset reiterated the Federal Reserve's independence.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Peter Schiff posted on X stating that gold and silver rose due to a new round of quantitative easing (QE), and he believes that Bitcoin "did not even rise" and should "be eliminated." (Cointelegraph)

BlockBeats News, December 12, according to market data, spot gold short-term prices rose over $10, breaking through $4350 per ounce, surging nearly $70 intraday, with the increase expanding to 1.6%.

Odaily Planet Daily News: The Federal Reserve signaled this week its openness to continue cutting interest rates in 2026, which was welcomed by investors. The market had previously prepared for the central bank to implement "hawkish rate cuts," i.e., lowering the benchmark federal funds rate, while also strongly indicating a reluctance to make further adjustments. The US stock market rose along with bonds, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing nearly 650 points (1.3%) on Thursday, reaching a new all-time high. Despite internal disagreements within the Fed and the release of complex signals on Wednesday, many still see signs that even a slight further softening of the labor market could prompt the central bank to cut rates again in the coming months. The Fed announced it will expand its balance sheet by purchasing short-term government bonds, an initiative aimed at easing recent pressures in the overnight lending market, which also reassured investors. Investors expect that the Fed will be very different next year, and Trump has already begun to target this week.

On Thursday, the US stock market retreated, with Oracle's stock price plunging over 11%, marking the largest drop in nearly a year. The market is once again worried that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI)-related capital expenditures, which far exceeds actual returns, could put pressure on the balance sheets of tech giants. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market performed relatively stably, forming a mild decoupling from the weak performance of tech stocks. Data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded above $92,000, maintaining a slight upward trend after holding onto key support levels, rising approximately 2.6% for the day. Traders are more focused on the maintenance of trend structure, with capital flowing into large-cap assets and risk appetite remaining cautious. Ethereum (ETH) also rose to around $3,260, while SOL increased by over 6%, outperforming mainstream assets and indicating a market recovery in demand for high-volatility Layer-1 tokens.

The overall cryptocurrency market slightly increased, with Layer2 rising 1.66%. Merlin Chain increased by 4.99%, Bitcoin rose 1.37% to 92,000, and Ethereum in the US slightly declined. Other sectors such as Meme, Layer1, and DeFi all saw gains, with Zcash surging by 17.85%.

Golden Finance reports that Oracle's disappointing performance has dampened risk appetite in the artificial intelligence sector. The Nasdaq opened down 0.60%, the Dow Jones up 0.19%, and the S&P 500 index down 0.38%. Oracle fell over 14%, as the company's second fiscal quarter revenue and cloud business revenue both fell short of market expectations. Disney rose 0.4%, and the company will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI.

Bitcoin prices plummeted to $89,000 during Asian trading hours, approaching the $80,000 mark at one point, dragging the total cryptocurrency market capitalization down from $3.22 trillion to $3.06 trillion, a loss of $160 billion in a single day. As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but disagreements within the FOMC and Powell's hawkish stance became the core reasons for the sharp market correction. The meeting minutes revealed that several officials opposed the rate cut, and Powell further indicated that the Fed might pause rate cuts until January 2026. This hawkish signal quickly dampened risk asset sentiment. Additionally, the Fed announced it would purchase up to $40 billion in Treasury securities within 30 days. Although officials emphasized that this was not quantitative easing (QE), the market widely viewed this move as exposing liquidity pressures. Gold prices subsequently rose, and analysts warned that the banking system could face deeper risks.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin10, at the opening of the US stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average opened flat, the S&P 500 index declined by 0.05%, and the Nasdaq Composite index fell by 0.18%. Alibaba (BABA.N) rose by 2.18%, Meta Platforms (META.O) dropped by 0.75%. It is reported that Meta has shifted to a closed-source model and used Tongyi Model to optimize the new AI model Avocado. GameStop (GME.N) fell by 6.1%, as its Q3 revenue did not meet expectations.

Santiment's latest on-chain data shows that the Ethereum market has seen a clear position divergence in the past three weeks: whales and medium-sized holders have increased their holdings by a total of 934,240 ETH, while retail investors have sold a net of 1,041 ETH during the same period. This structural difference is reshaping ETH's supply and demand landscape and driving a gradual price recovery. The data shows that the number of addresses holding 100 to 100,000 ETH has continued to increase since early December, and the cumulative trend of this group coincides with the decline in ETH volatility, the slowdown in decline, and the rebound. The Ethereum price subsequently rose as a large number of buying orders entered the market, indicating that the actions of large holders are clearly supporting the price.

Solana (SOL) price is approaching the key resistance level of $140, and several on-chain and derivatives indicators suggest that it may be in a "deep cycle reset" phase, signaling a potential strong rally. On December 10, SOL was trading at $138, up 5% in 24 hours, but still down 17% over the past month. Over the past week, the price has traded sideways between $128 and $145, but it has been accompanied by a significant increase in volume.

XRP quickly pulled back after briefly touching the $2.12–$2.17 range, showing clear selling pressure. Despite institutional investors driving a nearly 38% surge in volume, the price failed to extend its rally and its overall performance lagged behind the crypto market, highlighting that the supply headwinds behind the rally have not been lifted. XRP rose 0.50% to $2.0925 during Tuesday's session, but weakened by the overall market performance. Notably, the trading volume surged by 37.94% year-on-year and saw a high turnover of 189.7 million tokens during the breakout attempt, which usually means that institutional funds are more inclined to use liquidity windows to reduce positions rather than add to them. This trend of "rising and falling" reflects a typical distribution pattern.

During the US trading session on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin rose sharply from about $91,000 to more than $94,000 in two hours, an unusual trend that attracted strong attention from the market. The lack of clear positive news has led some traders to point out that this is "textbook manipulation", while others believe there are real macro catalysts behind it. Multiple on-chain analysts noted a rare period of large-scale concentrated buying during the price surge. DeFiTracer data shows that market maker Wintermute bought about $68 million in Bitcoin within an hour, while simultaneous buying orders from multiple major exchanges were also seen as a "synergistic push" by some researchers. Trader NoLimitGains noted that this rally is characterized by typical manipulation: extremely thin order books, large market orders pouring in in a short period of time, and a lack of subsequent structured buying. He believes that "a real bull market builds structure, and artificial push only leaves traps."

There were positive signals in employment expectations, with about 19% of business owners planning to add employees in the next three months, up 4 percentage points from October and reaching the highest level of the year.

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s "Mad Money," once again advised investors to “hold” NVIDIA stock instead of frequently trading it. On Monday, NVIDIA’s stock price rose slightly from $183 to $185 after news that the U.S. government had approved NVIDIA to export its H200 AI chips to China. Cramer emphasized that during periods of market volatility, investors should focus on holding the stocks of robust tech giants for the long term, including NVIDIA. He pointed out that such companies, with their strong technology and market positions, are resilient against short-term market fluctuations, and frequent trading is not beneficial for long-term returns.

U.S. President Trump announced that Nvidia will be allowed to sell H200 AI chips to China, but each chip will be subject to a 25% fee. This marks a shift in AI chip policy toward China, and Nvidia's stock price subsequently rose. Jensen Huang believes that the Chinese market is crucial to the U.S. AI industry.

U.S. Treasury yields rose to a two-month high as the global bond market declined, with investors focusing on upcoming bond auctions and the Federal Reserve’s rate decision. The Treasury Department adjusted its auction schedule, and the market expects the central bank may continue to cut rates, with attention on inflation and future outlook.

Bitcoin edged up slightly on Monday, as the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points this week, adjusting the target rate to a range of 3.5%-3.75%. However, contrary to the traditional logic that "rate cuts are bullish for risk assets and suppress bond yields," US Treasury yields have continued to rise, making market sentiment more cautious. Typically, rate cuts signal increased liquidity, and cheaper capital boosts investment and loan demand, supporting the prices of high-risk assets like Bitcoin while lowering short-term interest rates and yields. Data shows that Bitcoin rose over 1.5% on the day, hovering around $91,800, and has rebounded from the $80,000 region over the past three weeks, forming higher lows and highs.
