Global markets are experiencing multiple transformative catalysts supporting the recovery of risk assets. For instance, Trump has revived his proposal to distribute $2000 "tariff dividend" checks to every American using tariff revenues. While the plan faces hurdles such as congressional approval and inflationary concerns, it has already boosted consumer confidence and is expected to inject trillions of dollars in liquidity, benefitting high-growth technology sectors. Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown has reached a record 41 days. With the Senate having reached an agreement, it's expected to end on November 11—potentially triggering a renewed fiscal injection of tens of billions of dollars and a V-shaped rebound similar to past shutdown recoveries. Market expectations for a rate cut at the Federal Reserve's December FOMC meeting are also rising, with a 62.6% probability priced in for a 25-basis-point cut. Some Trump-backed officials even advocate for a 50-basis-point reduction, which would extend the easing cycle and further stimulate investment in crypto and AI infrastructure. Together, these factors may drive a 5–10% rebound in total crypto market capitalization, creating a window of opportunity for allocation to high-quality projects.


After the largest liquidation in history on October 11, market liquidity took a severe hit, with reports suggesting that many mid- and long-tail market makers suffered heavy losses. Consequently, it may take considerable time for liquidity conditions to normalize. The mass liquidation was primarily triggered by Trump's announcement of a 100% tariff hike on China, followed by a chain reaction from the USDe depegging incident. As a result, the market has likely entered oversold territory.



As the crypto market recovers in 2025, Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firms and protocol token buybacks are drawing increasing attention. DAT refers to public companies accumulating crypto assets as part of their treasury. This model enhances shareholder returns through yield and price appreciation, while avoiding the direct risks of holding crypto. Similar to an ETF but more active, DAT structures can generate additional income via staking or lending, driving NAV growth. Protocol token buybacks, such as those seen with HYPE, LINK, and ENA, use protocol revenues to automatically repurchase and burn tokens. This reduces circulating supply and creates a deflationary effect. Key drivers for upside include institutional capital inflows and potential Fed rate cuts, which would stimulate risk assets. Combined with buyback mechanisms that reinforce value capture, these assets are well-positioned to lead in the next market rebound.



Ethereum and its ecosystem are set to remain in the spotlight in 2025, driven by accelerating institutional adoption and network upgrades. As the world's leading smart contract platform, ETH has benefited from billions of dollars in ETF inflows, fueling a steady price climb. Potential upside catalysts include the Pectra upgrade to enhance performance, large-scale tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), explosive growth in Layer 2 solutions such as Base, and the reduction in circulating supply of the burn mechanism. Ecosystem tokens like Lido (the leader in liquid staking) and Ethena (an innovator in synthetic stablecoins) are also poised to benefit. Institutional participation from major players like BlackRock further boosts demand for DeFi and staking products. As a result, the overall market cap of the ecosystem is expected to continue growing, attracting increasing amounts of mainstream capital.
- 06:30Data: The bitcoin premium index on a certain exchange has remained in negative territory since October 31, currently reported at -0.0499%.ChainCatcher news, according to Coinglass data, the bitcoin premium index on a certain exchange has remained in negative premium territory since October 31, currently reported at -0.0499%. The bitcoin premium index of a certain exchange is used to measure the difference between the bitcoin price on that exchange (a major US trading platform) and the global market average price. This index is an important indicator for observing capital flows in the US market, institutional investment enthusiasm, and changes in market sentiment. A positive premium indicates that the exchange price is higher than the global average, which usually means strong buying in the US market, active participation by institutions or compliant funds, ample US dollar liquidity, and optimistic investment sentiment. A negative premium indicates that the exchange price is lower than the global average, which typically reflects greater selling pressure in the US market, decreased investor risk appetite, heightened risk aversion, or capital outflows.
- 06:29ZachXBT: Warren's accusation that WLFI fundraising involves illegal funds is "groundless," accounting for only 0.0018%ChainCatcher news: "On-chain detective" ZachXBT posted on X, stating that Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, claimed that $10,000 of illegal funds were involved in the fundraising process of the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial. However, the token sale of WLFI reached as much as $550 millions, meaning the alleged illegal funds accounted for only 0.0018%. ZachXBT compared this to Warren's claim of being Native American, while tests showed she only had 0.195% Native American ancestry. ZachXBT added that he does not hold WLFI tokens nor participated in the token sale, and pointed out this issue because regulators are trying to attack the crypto industry with unfounded "illegal funds accusations." He warned that if the crackdown on WLFI succeeds, Hyperliquid could be next.
- 06:29Wintermute Sends Opinion Letter to SEC: Dealers Should Be Allowed to Independently Manage On-Chain Settlement Processes, Proprietary Trading on DeFi Should Not Require RegistrationAccording to ChainCatcher, in the latest comment letter submitted to the SEC's Special Working Group on Crypto Assets, Wintermute made two clear proposals: 1. Allow self-managed on-chain settlement processes: Wintermute urges the SEC to clarify that regulated dealers, when settling on-chain for their own accounts, should not be considered in violation of the rules for bypassing traditional clearing institutions. As long as the counterparty can independently manage its wallet and deliver on-chain, and the dealer fulfills its obligations in a timely manner, it should be exempt from the application of the "Customer Protection Rule." This approach can significantly reduce intermediary layers and improve the efficiency of blockchain settlement. 2. Proprietary trading on DeFi does not require dealer registration: Wintermute emphasizes that engaging only in proprietary trading (including liquidity provision) on DeFi protocols, without interacting with clients, assuming market-making obligations, providing advice, or custodying assets, should be regarded as an "investor" rather than a "dealer," and therefore does not require registration. This position continues the legal tradition of the "trader exemption" and echoes the judicial trend after the "dealer rule" was overturned by the courts in 2024. Wintermute stresses that, under the current legal background, innovation and regulation should coexist, and inappropriate regulatory burdens on the decentralized finance ecosystem should be avoided.
