ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, analysts expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday. While lower rates typically boost risk assets like Bitcoin, comments and economic forecasts from the Fed during Wednesday's meeting may dampen expectations for further rate cuts amid ongoing inflation concerns.Recent U.S. CPI and PPI data have raised worries about potential price pressures next year, especially considering speculation around the economic policies of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Furthermore, although macroeconomic events still hold influence, QCP Capital analysts believe that Bitcoin's recent rise is primarily driven by market sentiment.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, U.S. Bank Chief Economist Stephen Juneau released a latest report warning that investors ignoring inflation data may face liquidation risks in 2025. The latest data shows that the November CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year and increased by 0.3% month-on-month, up 0.1 percentage points from October; the November PPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, significantly exceeding the market expectation of 0.2%.Federal funds futures indicate a 98% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week, but BlackRock Global Fixed Income CIO Rick Rieder, EY Chief Economist Greg Daco, and Nationwide Economist Oren Klachkin all expect that, influenced by potential new policies from Trump, the Federal Reserve may pause the rate-cutting process in early 2025.The market needs to be wary of three major risks: higher tariff policies, deficit financing tax cut plans, and tightened immigration policies, as these factors may keep the core PCE inflation rate elevated over the next two years. Daco particularly pointed out that although the possibility of a rate cut next week is close to a "coin toss probability," the subsequent pace of rate cuts will clearly slow down, and policymakers will remain highly vigilant regarding new government policies.

ChainCatcher news, QCP Capital's latest analysis points out that established cryptocurrencies have experienced a significant upward trend in the past two weeks since 2021. XRP has broken through its historical high of $2 in February 2021, surging 400% to $2.90 since November. During the same period, veteran projects like ADA, HBAR, and XLM recorded increases of 300%, 800%, and 600% respectively, showcasing the strong momentum of traditional crypto assets.This round of increase is mainly driven by two factors: first, Trump's proposal in November to eliminate capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies issued by U.S. companies; second, potential pro-crypto cabinet nominees. It is reported that current Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick may take over as Secretary of Commerce, as his company is currently in negotiations with Tether. Meanwhile, the SEC chair position may be taken over by pro-crypto Paul Atkins, replacing current chair Gary Gensler.Although South Korea's implementation of martial law temporarily caused Bitcoin to drop to $93,500, the subsequent rapid rebound in the market indicates strong buying power. The report notes that while inflation concerns have compressed the expectation for three Fed rate cuts by 2025, and geopolitical risks from Trump regarding China, Mexico, Canada, and BRICS countries still exist, the cryptocurrency market is still expected to continue its upward trend.Analysts believe that with the potential launch of crypto-friendly policies by Trump's team and the continued entry of institutional investors, the goal of Bitcoin breaking $100,000 and Ethereum reaching new historical highs is shifting from a dream to reality. Investors are advised to pay attention to the strong market momentum and seize investment opportunities.

Yu Jianing, co-chairman of the Blockchain Committee of the China Communications Industry Association and honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, stated that in the short term, Bitcoin may seek new support or resistance levels amid fluctuations, while in the medium to long term, its price direction will depend on multiple factors such as global liquidity, economic outlook, and regulatory attitudes.Yu Jianing analyzed that due to the relatively dispersed funding of crypto assets, the market is easily manipulated by large amounts of capital, leading to "dumping" or "pumping" behaviors, which in turn trigger irrational actions from retail investors."Overall, as the popularity of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market increases, new risks and uncertainties also rise. Investors should respond to the current market with a rational and cautious attitude, closely monitor regulatory dynamics and market changes, and avoid blindly following trends," reminded Zhao Wei, a senior researcher at the OKX Research Institute.

ChainCatcher message, Slow Mist Yu X stated: "According to feedback from Slow Mist's intelligence personnel, the JUMPFUN project (@jumpdotfun) is suspected of suspicious behavior. After analyzing the project contract and transaction records, we found the following suspicious situations:The JUMPBonusPool contract was originally designed with two core mechanisms:Bonus Pool Mechanism: The last 5 users who participate in donations can share the accumulated ETH bonus.Time Extension Mechanism: Each time a user makes a donation, the game time will be automatically extended by 30 seconds.Yesterday, the project party used owner privileges to modify the JUMPTreasury contract's reference to the JUMPBonusPool contract twice through the setEmergencyBonusPool function.This modification prevented users from participating in the grand prize competition of the previously accumulated bonuses in the JUMPBonusPool contract through normal donations. It is worth noting that the newly replaced JUMPBonusPool contract has also not been open-sourced.These actions are in serious violation of the activity rules previously disclosed by the project party, showing obvious misconduct. We remind all participating users to be aware of the risks and participate cautiously."

ChainCatcher news, Slow Fog founder Yu Xian stated, "The Sui ecosystem project OceansGallerie (@OceansGallerie) is indeed quite strange. The token pool is too centralized, with a total supply of 10 billion OCEANS. The holders are overly concentrated, and the token has dropped by dozens of times in less than a week. Now the pool has less than $20,000. The addresses involved in abnormal operations have a strong correlation with the OCEANS token issuance address."Additionally, X user @tongyiju reported that Cetus Protocol tweeted on November 20 about creating an Oceans pool, promising daily incentives.
