Odaily星球日报讯 摩根士丹利策略师指出，美国经济可能出现“无就业生产力繁荣”（jobless productivity boom），将抑制通胀并为美联储更多降息打开大门。美国劳工部数据显示，第二季度所有非农企业工人的每小时产出同比增长3.3%，较上一季度1.8%的同比下降大幅改善。投资者对美联储明年降息节奏的预期比官方预测更为激进。据芝商所美联储观察工具（CME FedWatch tool）显示，美联储官员预计2026年仅降息一次，但投资者认为年底利率下降的概率达72%。（金十）

On-chain analysis shows that Yili Hua's Trend Research began accumulating Ethereum in early November, holding approximately 645,000 ETH, making it the third-largest holding entity. Currently, there is an unrealized loss of about $242 million. If an additional $1 billion is reinvested, it could potentially rise to the second-largest holding entity.

Despite the recent continuous pressure on SOL prices, on-chain data from the Solana network presents a completely different picture. The latest data shows that the staked amount of Solana has risen to 409 million SOL, reaching a new all-time high, indicating that network security and long-term participation are still strengthening. This change has attracted market attention: in the context of declining prices, are investors ignoring the important signals released by Solana's fundamentals?
From a network perspective, a high staking rate means more SOL is locked up to maintain the network's consensus mechanism, which helps enhance the resistance to attacks and overall stability of the Solana blockchain. For long-term holders, the continuously increasing staked SOL is often seen as a sign of confidence in the ecosystem and is also one of the important indicators of the health of the public chain.

Recently, Bitcoin prices have been volatile, reflecting that the global macro environment and risk sentiment remain unstable. In the context of an unclear short-term direction, the continued strength of gold prices is being viewed by the market as a potential catalyst for the next wave of Bitcoin growth. Historical data shows that as long as the correlation logic holds, rising gold prices often serve as an important reference for Bitcoin price movements.
Over the past year, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has significantly strengthened. As institutional investors regard Bitcoin as "digital gold" and a macro hedge asset, its price trend has gradually synchronized with gold prices. Historically, there have been multiple instances where gold led the rally, followed by Bitcoin catching up. The underlying logic is that after risk appetite warms, funds gradually shift from defensive assets to high-elasticity assets, benefiting Bitcoin. Since 2024, this "gold rising—Bitcoin following" pattern has been repeatedly validated in both spot and derivatives markets.

During the overall crypto market's quiet Christmas season, XRP's price has begun to show some noteworthy signals of change. Although XRP has declined approximately 16.8% over the past 30 days and the short-term trend remains weak, momentum, capital flow, and whale activity are all improving in tandem, and market discussions about a “XRP Christmas rally” are gradually heating up.
Firstly, from a technical perspective, XRP's price has been declining continuously from early November to late December, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has formed higher lows, indicating a classic bullish divergence. This suggests that while the price is falling, the downward momentum is weakening, often an early sign of a trend reversal. Additionally, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has shown similar signals. From late November to mid-December, XRP's price was declining while the MFI continued to rise, indicating that funds are flowing back in on dips. Recently, the MFI has moved out of the oversold region, implying that buying interest is recovering.

ChainCatcher Message, AMLBot's latest report shows that between 2023 and 2025, Tether has frozen a total of 7,268 addresses through its freezing mechanism, involving $3.29 billion USDT, of which over 53% of the frozen USDT is located on Tron.

Amid the overall sluggish performance of the cryptocurrency market during Christmas, the PENGU price has shown an opposite upward trend. As the Pudgy Penguins brand advertisement was launched on the Las Vegas Sphere, a globally renowned landmark, market sentiment was quickly ignited, driving the PENGU token to short-term strength and making it one of the focal points in the recent NFT and meme coin sectors.
Market data shows that since December 10, the PENGU price has been under continuous pressure, with a decline of over 18% in the month. However, around December 24, as the Pudgy Penguins advertisement officially appeared on the Las Vegas Sphere, the PENGU price quickly stabilized and rebounded, rising about 7.5% from the stage low. As of press time, although PENGU has pulled back slightly, it still maintained an increase of over 6% within 24 hours, significantly outperforming the sideways movement of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), BNB, Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL) during the same period.

He will work with a cooperative Chair to expand the Treasury Department's influence over the Fed's asset operations.

Zcash (ZEC) price recently stabilized above the key support level of $400 and rebounded about 10% on Wednesday, indicating that the bullish forces are regaining control. Currently, Zcash is in a typical bullish triangle consolidation pattern, with the market watching whether it can effectively break through the upper resistance to open up a new upward space.
Market data shows that Zcash price previously retreated nearly 10% from the high of $454, but after the bulls successfully held the $400 support, they quickly launched a counterattack. As of now, ZEC is around $446, a roughly 45% rebound from the December low. However, compared to the intra-year high of $723 set in November, there is still about 38% room for correction, which means that once the trend reversal is confirmed, there is still ample upward potential.
