Market Trending

Yesterday, the crypto market saw a pullback, with major tokens posting losses across the board. BTC failed to hold above $100,000, dropping to a low of $94,148 and currently trading within the $97,500–$98,200 range. ETH, after breaching $4,000, quickly retraced, briefly dipping below $3,500 intraday.
Sectors like RWA, DeFi, and DeSci, which had shown strength earlier, also experienced corrections. The stronger-than-expected nonfarm payrolls and unemployment data released last Friday suggest continued Fed rate cuts. According to CME’s FedWatch Tool, there’s a 14.2% probability of rates remaining unchanged by December and an 85.8% probability of a cumulative 25-basis-point cut. This could provide additional liquidity, potentially setting the stage for significant market gains.

• Public Chain Sector: Tokens in this sector followed the broader market’s downward trend. SUI dropped below $3.9, SOL fell below $220, and XRP dipped under $2.3.
• DeFi Sector: The sector failed to sustain its previous strength, with UNI falling 10% after reaching a yearly high. AAVE, CRV, and COMP each posted losses exceeding 10%.
• Meme Sector: PEPE defied the trend, surging to a new all-time high of $0.00002835. Other meme coins, including DOGE (after surpassing $0.47), as well as WIF, BOME, and NEIROETH, saw gains quickly reversed amid the broader market pullback.

The Word on the Street

SEC Commissioner Offers Three Suggestions for New Crypto Regulations Under New SEC Leadership
On December 10, FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce shared three recommendations during an interview for how the new SEC under the Trump administration should approach crypto regulation:

1. Eliminate regulatory bottlenecks: Stop hindering cryptocurrency access to essential services like custody.
2. Clarify jurisdictional boundaries: Define what falls outside SEC oversight, what is not a security, and what does not need to consider SEC frameworks.
3. Collaborate with crypto entities: Work collectively to determine how existing rules apply and what adjustments are necessary, involving public participation for transparency and inclusivity.
