#数字资产市场洞察 Whale and the Game between Institutions: How the Year-End Market Drama Unfolds

$BTC

Recently, several data points in the cryptocurrency space are worth noting. On one hand, a mysterious Whale made a profit of 55.51 million USD (approximately 400 million RMB) by shorting BTC. On the other hand, MicroStrategy continues to increase its holdings, recently spending 5 billion RMB to purchase Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings close to 190,000 coins.

This opposing trading direction reflects market differentiation: those who are bearish are harvesting profits, while those who are bullish are positioning themselves at lower prices. Whose judgment will prevail? This question remains unanswered at the moment.

$ETH

Good news from Ethereum. The UK Supreme Court has officially recognized ETH as legal property, which is an important breakthrough for the legal status of crypto assets. Following this, JPMorgan issued the first tokenized fund on Ethereum. This move from Wall Street is significant, indicating that traditional finance has truly begun to embrace on-chain assets.

The macro background cannot be ignored:

There has been a 700-day inversion in U.S. Treasury bonds, which historically often signals an economic recession. Meanwhile, the credit card default rate has hit a ten-year high. The White House, however, continues to claim that inflation is only 1.6% and is calling for interest rate cuts—this misalignment of policy signals is itself worth pondering.

The critical point is right in front of us. On December 26, $23.6 billion worth of BTC options will expire, at which point the true strength comparison between bulls and bears will be clearer.

In the end, the choice you have to make is very simple:

Follow the short-selling whales betting on a downturn? Or are we optimistic about the future alongside institutions? Or should we look for answers in macro data - currently, the economic warning lights are basically all on.
