Wintermute Market Observation: Sell-off is "macroeconomic noise," the fundamentals of BTC's rise remain unchanged.

Wintermute Market Observation: Sell-off is "macroeconomic noise," the fundamentals of BTC's rise remain unchanged.

Author: @Jjay_dm Compiled by: Deep Tide TechFlow Last week's market sell-off was primarily driven by the repricing of interest rate cut expectations, rather than a structural collapse. Current positioning is nearing completion, and global easing policies continue. Bitcoin (BTC) needs to re-establish itself within its trading range to improve broader market sentiment. Macro Update Last week, the market's focus was on digesting the sudden repricing of expectations for a December rate cut. The probability of a rate cut plummeted from approximately 70% to 42% in just one week, a shift amplified by the lack of other macroeconomic data. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's retreat from the near-certainty of a December rate cut forced investors to re-examine the views of various FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) members, revealing that a rate cut was not a consensus. The market reacted swiftly: US risk assets weakened, with cryptocurrencies, as the most sentiment-driven risk asset, suffering particularly severe losses. Among various asset classes, digital assets remain at the bottom of the performance rankings. This underperformance is not new; cryptocurrencies have lagged behind the stock market since early summer, partly due to their persistent negative skewness relative to equities. Notably, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have actually underperformed altcoins as a whole, which is relatively rare during a downtrend. Two main reasons explain this phenomenon: Altcoins have been declining for some time now; A few areas (such as privacy coins and fee switching mechanisms) continue to show localized strength. From an industry perspective, the performance was generally negative. The GMCI-30 index (@gmci_) fell 12%, with most sectors declining between 14% and 18%. Leading decliners included Artificial Intelligence (AI), Decentralized Internet of Things (DePIN), Gaming, and Memes. Even typically more resilient categories such as Layer 1 networks (L1s), Layer 2 networks (L2s), and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) experienced widespread weakness. This market volatility reflects a broad-based risk aversion rather than sector rotation. The chart above shows data from Monday to Monday, so it differs from the first chart. Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen below the $100,000 mark again, the first time this has happened since May. Prior to last week, Bitcoin had successfully held the $100,000 level twice (on November 4th and 7th), and even briefly rebounded to $110,000 at the beginning of last week. However, this rebound quickly faded during the US trading session, with hourly candlesticks showing a clear pattern of selling pressure – sell orders emerged whenever the US market opened, ultimately pushing the price below $100,000 after two attempts. Part of the pressure stems from whales (investors holding large amounts of crypto assets) reducing their positions. While sell-offs typically occur from the fourth quarter to the first quarter, this trend has come earlier this year, partly because many traders anticipate a weaker year in the four-year cycle. This expectation is self-fulfilling, as early risk-taking by participants amplifies market volatility. It's worth noting that there hasn't been a genuine fundamental collapse this time; the pressure is primarily driven by the US market and macroeconomic factors. The repricing of interest rate cut expectations is a more reasonable driving factor. After Federal Reserve Chairman Powell retracted his comments regarding a December rate cut, US traders began to analyze the views of various FOMC members in depth. US trading seats gradually lowered their expectations for a December rate cut from about 70% to the low 60% range, a shift that global markets only subsequently recognized. This also explains why the strongest selling pressure was concentrated in the US trading session from November 10th to 12th, even though the probability of a rate cut was still in the mid-60% range at that time. While expectations of interest rate cuts have impacted short-term market sentiment, the overall macroeconomic environment has not deteriorated. The global easing cycle is still underway. Japan is preparing a $110 billion stimulus package. China continues to implement an accommodative monetary policy. The United States' quantitative easing (QT) program will end next month. Fiscal channels remain active, such as the proposed $2,000 stimulus package. Current market changes are more about timing than direction—specifically, how quickly liquidity will be released and how long it will take to impact speculative risk assets. Currently, the crypto market is almost entirely driven by macroeconomic factors, lacking new data to stabilize interest rate cut expectations; the market remains in a reactive rather than constructive development phase. Our Viewpoint The macro environment remains supportive of the market, and position adjustments have made the market clearer, but stable sentiment still depends on the performance of mainstream cryptocurrencies. This market sell-off appears to be more of a macro-driven shock than a structural collapse. Current positions have been cleared, the US-led pressures have been fully understood, and the cyclical dynamics of whales and year-end flow trends have well explained this volatility. The overall backdrop remains constructive: global easing continues, the US quantitative easing (QT) program will end next month, stimulus channels remain active, and liquidity is expected to improve in the first quarter of next year. What the market currently lacks is confirmation from major cryptocurrencies. Unless Bitcoin (BTC) returns to the top of its range, market breadth is likely to remain limited, and the narrative will be unsustainable. This macro environment does not resemble a prolonged bear market. As the market is driven by macro factors, the next catalyst is more likely to come from policy and interest rate expectations rather than liquidity within the crypto industry. Once major cryptocurrencies regain momentum, a broader market recovery is expected.

Biometric Blockchain Platform Serenity Clears MiCA Registration as Europe’s Regulatory Wall Locks Out Hundreds

Biometric Blockchain Platform Serenity Clears MiCA Registration as Europe’s Regulatory Wall Locks Out Hundreds

The post Biometric Blockchain Platform Serenity Clears MiCA Registration as Europe’s Regulatory Wall Locks Out Hundreds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As dozens of firms secure coveted EU crypto registrations and hundreds remain locked out,Serenity biometric platform joins the regulatory winners’ circle. In the seven months since Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation took full effect, the battlefield has become brutally clear: you’re either registered, or you’re out. By July 2025, just 53 entities had secured full MiCA authorizations—14 e-money token (EMT) issuers and 39 crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) across the entire European Union. Over 120 enforcement actions had targeted non-compliant projects. More than 250 crypto startups postponed European launches due to regulatory delays. And Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin, was delisted from major EU exchanges for failing to meet reserve requirements.​ Now, Serenity—a Dubai-based biometric authentication and tokenization infrastructure company—has secured white paper notification through the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and publication in the ESMA Interim MiCA Register.​ The achievement positions Serenity’s $SERSH token among the first wave of projects to complete MiCA’s notification process. White Paper Notification vs. Full Authorization: What Serenity Actually Achieved Here’s what matters: Serenity didn’t need a license. And that’s precisely the point.​ Under MiCA Title II, offerors of “Other Crypto-Assets” (OCAs)—tokens that aren’t stablecoins or asset-referenced tokens—must notify their white paper to competent authorities at least 20 working days before publication. The authority has five working days to review for completeness. But crucially, no prior approval is required.​ Once notified, the white paper can be published on the issuer’s website, and the token can be lawfully offered across all 27 EU member states. The notification is then recorded in ESMA’s central register, creating a public record of compliance.​ This differs dramatically from the authorization required for CASPs (crypto-asset service providers), which face extensive capital requirements, ongoing supervision, and multi-month application processes. It also differs from Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs), which require prior approval of…

Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX

Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX

The post Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grab, Southeast Asia’s largest super-app, is taking a deeper step into stablecoin infrastructure with a new exploratory agreement with StraitsX, a Singapore-based stablecoin issuer. The two companies announced on Tuesday that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a Web3-enabled settlement layer that brings digital asset wallets, programmable payments and stablecoin-based clearing into everyday consumer experiences.  If approved by regulators and implemented, the system would allow Grab users to hold and spend StraitsX-issued tokens like XSGD and XUSD directly within the app, which is available in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and Myanmar. With Grab’s extensive reach in Southeast Asia, the move could significantly reshape how cross-border retail payments operate in the region.  “Southeast Asia is one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies, but payments remain fragmented and costly,” said Tianwei Liu, co-founder and CEO of StraitsX, adding that the collaboration will accelerate the growth in the region’s digital economy. Grab application in the Philippines allows crypto and stablecoin top-ups. Source: Grab app Grab’s history with stablecoins This is not the first time that Grab has dipped into the stablecoin space. The company tested blockchain-based rewards, collaborations with Web3 wallets and limited pilots to assess user readiness.  In 2023, Grab partnered with stablecoin issuer Circle to pilot Web3 customer experiences in Singapore. This allowed users to set up a blockchain wallet, earn rewards and use non-fungible token (NFT) vouchers.  In 2024, Grab started allowing users to top up their GrabPay wallets using crypto and stablecoins. On May 6, Grab partnered with Natix, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) operating in Solana, to combine blockchain-based mapping with Grab’s camera hardware and mapmaking technology.   While Grab is not new to stablecoins and blockchain, the deal marks an escalation from its previous experiments. It signals a much…

Markets in full risk-off mode

Markets in full risk-off mode

The post Markets in full risk-off mode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Markets retreated on Monday amid renewed uncertainty over Federal Reserve rate cuts, softer real-economy prints and broadening rhetoric that we are in an “AI bubble.” The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dipped 1% and 1.1%, respectively, pressured by tech sector weakness. Gold was also down 1.4%, with bitcoin down 2.3% to now sitting just above $90,000.  It was a risk-off day across the board, with virtually every major sector in the red except bitcoin miners, which managed a modest +1.0% gain. The hardest-hit pockets were L2 tokens (−6.1%) and the Solana ecosystem (−5.6%), hurt by broader DeFi deleveraging. L1s (−2.3%) tracked our REV index lower at roughly the same pace, while AI (-2.6%), DePin (-2.7%), and RWAs (-3.2%) were marginally worse off.  None of our indexes have held up on a one-week view, underscoring crypto’s status as the most reflexive asset class amid escalating macro headwinds. BTC is down 13% over the period, holding up the best among crypto investments. Network fundamentals are deteriorating, with our REV index sliding 13.3% as Ethereum and Solana ecosystem tokens crater 25-30%.  When dollars get scarce, the most speculative asset classes, crypto first among them, always take the hardest and fastest hit. An example of liquidity stress is the widening positive spread (SOFR > EFFR) being a sign of low levels of cash in overnight money markets. This means when cash gets scarce, people are desperate enough to pay more than the Fed’s rate to get their hands on dollars overnight. Broader macro themes remain tense. With the government shutdown resolved, TGA drawdowns should provide some liquidity relief as the government reopens. Debate continues on QT ending and how much a pivot to Fed balance-sheet expansion will actually increase liquidity and…

Ethereum, Solana, or Ozak AI? Why Analysts Believe This Emerging AI Token Offers More Long-Term Growth Than the Top Three Altcoins Combined

Ethereum, Solana, or Ozak AI? Why Analysts Believe This Emerging AI Token Offers More Long-Term Growth Than the Top Three Altcoins Combined

The post Ethereum, Solana, or Ozak AI? Why Analysts Believe This Emerging AI Token Offers More Long-Term Growth Than the Top Three Altcoins Combined appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. For years, Solana and Ethereum have long been seen as the main forces behind Web3 expansion. ​Crypto analysts believe that new AI-crypto, Ozak AI, which is now gaining traction as the next big challenger, may be better positioned for long-term growth than the leading cryptocurrencies of today because of its strategic innovation, which involves AI tools, DePIN, and several features with tokenized growth. ​As demand for AI-powered blockchain solutions grows, Ozak AI’s early entry may place it at the leading edge of the next big market cycle. Rapid Growth in Ozak AI’s Ongoing Presale With Phase 7 now, each $OZ token is priced at $0.014; the previous phase entrants at $0.012 saw an immediate 16.67% gain. With that, the final target price is $1. So far, more than 1 billion $OZ tokens have been sold, generating $4.44 million. Also, the analysts consider that the price has already increased by an astounding 1300% from Phase 1’s price of $0.001. Even the investors entering now could see returns of  7,042.86% from the current price, if the token reaches the projection price, demonstrating the potential of sustained and long-term growth. ETH Built the Base, SOL Raised the Speed, Ozak AI Adds the Brain While Solana pushed the boundaries of transaction speed and Ethereum established the framework for decentralized apps, Ozak AI is now launching the intelligence layer that may define the next phase of blockchain development. Ozak AI builds a decentralized network to offer financial market forecast insights by combining cutting-edge machine learning with DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) frameworks. ​Users can configure the ecosystem’s custom AI prediction agents to monitor trends. Ozak AI also has a $OZ rewards system in place to promote participation. Those $OZ token holders have several utilities.   ​Significant Partnerships of Ozak AI Ozak AI established a number of…
