The digital asset market continues to strengthen, Bitcoin hits a new high

Macroeconomic Environment and Market Trends

This week's focus in the financial markets is on the upcoming FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve. The market widely expects a 25 basis point rate cut in December, but is more concerned about the future direction of the Federal Reserve's policies. The pace of rate cuts next year is expected to be more cautious. It is worth noting that as many as 25 central banks will hold meetings in the same week, and these decisions may trigger market volatility.

Digital asset investment products continue to attract inflows, demonstrating strong market optimism. The latest weekly report as of December 16 shows that digital asset investment products have achieved net inflows for 10 consecutive weeks, with a cumulative total of 3.2 billion USD. Year-to-date, the total inflow of digital assets has reached 44.5 billion USD. The total inflow for Bitcoin investment products is 2 billion USD, while Ethereum has seen inflows for 7 consecutive weeks, totaling 1 billion USD.
