BNB Chain new project Audiera (BEAT) has recently become a market focus. Data shows that BEAT has increased by approximately 84% in the past 24 hours.

From the driving factors, the recent surge in BEAT is mainly driven by speculative futures trading. On decentralized exchanges alone, related trading volume approaches $20 million, with daily trading volume increasing by about 33% week-on-week. On-chain data indicates that the number of buyers significantly exceeds that of sellers, and the market short-term sentiment is leaning bullish.

The discussion about quantum computing potentially causing a collapse of the Bitcoin market has recently heated up again. In response, Blockstream CEO and renowned cryptographer Adam Back explicitly stated that the current level of quantum computing development is far from enough to threaten the Bitcoin network, let alone trigger a systemic collapse at the price level. Adam Back refuted an extreme opinion article that claimed quantum computers could cause Bitcoin's price to plummet 99% from approximately $87,000. Back pointed out that such a scenario is only possible if quantum computers can massively break Bitcoin wallet private keys and attack the entire network consensus mechanism, but the reality is still very far from reaching this stage.

MYX Finance (MYX) has increased by approximately 8% in the past 24 hours, with the price briefly surpassing the important technical and psychological threshold of $3, sparking widespread market attention.

According to AMBCrypto's analysis, after breaking through the technical structure, the initial target for MYX was set at $3.45. However, the market development exceeded expectations, with MYX reaching a high of $3.9 on December 15, indicating strong bullish momentum.

According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin prices have fallen below the $86,000 mark for the first time in two weeks, indicating that market downside pressure is intensifying. On Monday, Bitcoin dropped as much as 3.7%, touching a low of $85,171, and then slightly rebounded above $86,000 during early Asian trading on Tuesday.

A recent research report released by Bank of America indicates that amid a fundamental shift in regulatory attitudes, the US banking industry is entering a multi-year "on-chain" transition phase. As the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Federal Reserve begin to establish clear regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and tokenized deposits, cryptocurrency policies are moving from discussion to implementation. The research team led by analyst Ebrahim Poonawala stated that a recent series of regulatory approvals and rule proposals signify that the US financial system is laying the institutional groundwork for real-world assets and payments to go on-chain. OCC has recently conditionally approved five digital asset companies to obtain national trust bank licenses, which is seen as an important step toward the federal-level official acceptance of stablecoin issuance and crypto asset custody. These activities must be conducted in the form of trust services and meet strict requirements for liquidity, compliance, and risk management.

BlockBeats News, December 16 — As Trump confidant pushes for Waller to become the next Federal Reserve Chair, the market’s betting odds on Waller becoming the new Fed Chair have surpassed Haskett, rising to the top. Deutsche Bank's Matthew Luzzetti team’s latest research report indicates that if Waller is elected Fed Chair, he may support interest rate cuts while simultaneously promoting balance sheet reduction (QT). However, the feasibility of pursuing both policies simultaneously depends on regulatory reforms that can reduce the banking system’s demand for reserves, and whether this can be achieved in the short term remains uncertain. As a popular successor to Powell, Waller earlier this year proposed the view that "inflation is a choice," believing that inflation is not caused by supply chains or geopolitical factors, but rather stems from the Fed’s own policy decisions. He called for the Fed and the Treasury to each be responsible for interest rates and fiscal accounts respectively, and emphasized that the Fed must reform and return to maintaining price stability as its core mission.
