🚨 Last Night’s Crypto Flash Points — 1-Minute Market Recap | Dec 16
1⃣ $BTC, $ETH, $SOL continued their pullback.
On the macro side, declines in Broadcom and other AI-related stocks dragged down U.S. tech equities, leading to sharp losses in crypto-related stocks.
2⃣ Market view:
Expectations of a 25 bps rate hike by the Bank of Japan this Friday, along with renewed uncertainty around the next Fed chair, are weighing on BTC.
This is a macro-heavy week—better to wait for clarity next Monday before trading.
3⃣ $MSTR has a market cap of $46.5B and holds 671,268 BTC, valued at roughly $58B.
Its premium has nearly disappeared. However, due to leverage and debt, its volatility is still about 2–3x that of BTC.
4⃣ CZ mentioned adding to $ASTER for the third time, yet the token has fallen to 0.794, with a market cap of $7.5B, marking a recent low.
5⃣ According to KOL Cato, his Binance Alpha score is 240 points, with daily costs of $3.3–3.6.
Two airdrops this month: one sold too early, one held longer. Overall result: still not losing money.
6⃣ On Polymarket, betting odds for the next Fed Chair shifted:
Kevin Warsh has overtaken Kevin Hassett, at 48% vs. 42%.
Americans really do treat politics like a game.
7⃣ Since the 10/11 crash, “Ma Ji Da Ge” has remained persistently long, getting liquidated over 200 times, with total losses exceeding $22.88M.
The community suspects he may be hedging with short positions on centralized exchanges.
8⃣ MetaMask has begun supporting the Bitcoin network as part of its multi-chain expansion.
Swapping BTC via MetaMask now earns reward points, though the token launch timeline remains unclear.
9⃣ $AAVE is embroiled in controversy.
The community is questioning whether front-end revenue is being retained by the team instead of flowing back to the DAO.
$UNI faced a similar governance dispute in the past.
