🇯🇵 Japan equalizes the tax on cryptocurrencies to that of stocks

Japan has finally begun to dismantle the "tax wall" of 55% around cryptocurrencies. The government and the ruling coalition supported the proposal to apply a fixed rate of 20% on profits from digital assets — the same as stocks and funds.

➡️ What changes

🟡 Today, profits from crypto trading are classified as “other income” and fall into the progressive scale: from 5% to 45%
🟡 Wealthy investors still pay up to 10% in local taxes — reaching up to 55%
🟡 The new regime applies a fixed rate of 20% to crypto — similar to stocks

➡️ Why this matters

🟡 High progressive rates made crypto less attractive
🟡 The equalization reduces the “tax penalty”
🟡 For Web3 and local investors, it is a sign of recognition as a legitimate asset class

➡️ Implementation

🟡 The FSA intends to submit the project in early 2026
🟡 Changes will come via Financial Instruments and Exchange Act
🟡 The package includes greater investor protection: strict oversight, prohibition of insider trading, more transparency

➡️ Global impact

🟡 One of the strictest jurisdictions is moving towards a predictable model
🟡 It could revive the domestic market
🟡 Signal to the world: tax normalization instead of just regulatory tightening

Conclusion:
The reform will place crypto at the same tax level as stocks — making it a conventional financial instrument in Japan.

It's good that they don't talk about politics even in this space, as it shows how illiterate and alienated they are. The market will be sure of the easy prey they are. Especially the leftists.

📉 Bitcoin Drop: neither the shutdown nor AI are to blame

Bitcoin has reached its lowest level in nearly eight months, and the market quickly blamed the political chaos in the US and fears of an AI bubble. But on-chain analysts say the cause is deeper — leverage and liquidity.

➡️ Who was blamed first

🟡 Some investors blamed the end of the US government shutdown
🟡 Others blamed an "AI bubble" and the overheating of big tech
🟡 It seems convenient, but the data does not confirm this as the trigger for the drop

➡️ On-chain analysts' view

🟡 Rational Root says the drawdown cannot be explained solely by the shutdown
🟡 The main factor is the excess leverage in Bitcoin futures, which needed a reset
🟡 Over the past three years, the market has gone through three similar cycles — always followed by new highs

➡️ And the so-called AI bubble?

🟡 PlanC dismisses the AI bubble: Nvidia recorded record revenue of around $57bn
🟡 With more facts, the explanations reduce to the four-year cycle and global liquidity
🟡 In other words: it's not about trends, but about market structure and available money

➡️ Cycles and liquidity

🟡 The four-year cycle is being questioned with institutional adoption
🟡 Global liquidity (M2 etc.) still dictates the behavior of risk assets
🟡 Bitcoin continues to be the market's "liquidity sensor"

➡️ What this means for the market

🟡 The leverage reset gave the market a "new beginning"
🟡 Analysts expect smoother movements after this
🟡 For 2025–2026, the focus is on new ETFs and the entry of institutional capital

Conclusion: Recent movements in Bitcoin are much more a technical and liquidity reset than a reaction to the US shutdown or fears about AI.

📉 Bitcoin breaks 365-day average — market in panic

Bitcoin fell below $99,000, which analysts are calling a "warning sign" for the current cycle. The drop below the 365-day moving average (MA) has intensified discussions about the start of a downtrend.

➡️ What happened:

🟡 According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin broke the 365-day MA level ($102,000).
🟡 On Coinbase, the price hit a low of $98,900 before recovering to $101,800.
🟡 The last time this happened was during the final confirmation of the 2022 bear market.

➡️ Analysts' opinions:

🟡 Julio Moreno (CryptoQuant): "The price needs to rise quickly above the line, otherwise it's a concerning signal."
🟡 Bitrue Research: The drop of more than 20% from the ATH of $126K is just "the fourth correction of the current bull cycle."
🟡 Algoz Technology: "As long as the $100K level holds, it's still early to call it a bear market."

➡️ Context:

Historically, corrections of this kind in bull cycles have been followed by a rise of ~40% within 60 days. However, future movement will depend on macroeconomic factors — U.S. Fed policy and Trump administration decisions in December.

📊 Conclusion: Bitcoin is at the brink between a technical bear market and a final cleanup before the next rally.
The key level to watch is $100,000 — as long as it holds, bulls still have a chance for a Christmas recovery.

$BTC 📉 Crypto market in decline: $1.3 billion liquidated, Bitcoin struggles to maintain $100K

With Bitcoin falling below $104K, over $1.3 billion in positions were liquidated in 24 hours. Investors are nervous — the next important support is $100K, and a break could trigger a new wave of selling.

➡️ What happened:

🟡 Bitcoin fell to $104,130, a drop of 17% from the ATH of $126K
🟡 $1.21 billion in long positions were liquidated, including:
 — $377 million in Bitcoin
 — $316.6 million in Ethereum
🟡 Largest single liquidation — $47.87 million (BTC-USDT on HTX)

➡️ What analysts are saying:

🟡 Trader Jelle points out that BTC needs to recover the range of $105–107K to avoid falling below $100K
🟡 Open interest in CME futures fell by 9%, indicating lower institutional interest
🟡 AlphaBTC warns: daily close below $105,300 could increase pressure and push BTC below the psychological level

➡️ Context:

The decline was accompanied by mass liquidations and a reduction in open interest — signs of capitulation and a possible local bottom.

But as long as BTC does not recover $105K, the risks of correction remain. The level of $100K is the last hope for the bulls.

❌ USA: Congressman demands ban on Trump and his family trading cryptocurrencies and stocks

American congressman Ro Khanna introduced a bill that would prohibit President Donald Trump, his family, and members of Congress from owning or trading cryptocurrencies and stocks.

The reason — a potential conflict of interest between the White House policies and the crypto project of Trump's son, World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

➡️ What happened:

🟡 Khanna accused Trump of "blatant corruption" following the pardon of CZ (Binance), calling him a "foreign billionaire involved in money laundering."
🟡 According to Khanna, CZ "funded the president's son's crypto project," and the pardon was said to be "a trade."
🟡 CZ denied the accusations, stating that "senators can't even understand the facts."

➡️ Context:

🟡 CZ indeed pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act but is serving a light sentence and continues to work on projects outside the USA.
🟡 WLFI is a crypto platform associated with Eric Trump, who claims that his father has no connection to the project.
🟡 The problem is that the Trump family could influence crypto regulation while holding assets in the same sector.

➡️ Double standards:

Khanna himself actively trades stocks: according to Quiver Quant, in 2025 he moved over US$ 80 million, and since 2017 has exceeded US$ 580 million.
His main sectors — finance, IT, and healthcare.

📌 Conclusion: The regulation of cryptocurrencies is once again being used as a political weapon.
While some politicians accuse others of "corruption via crypto," many of them also hold millions in investments.

🇺🇸 Trump on pardon for Binance founder: “I don’t know ‘the crypto person’”

💬 President Donald Trump stated that he does not know “the cryptocurrency person,” referring to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, to whom he granted a pardon “at the request of many very good people.”

🎙️ In response to a reporter, Trump declared:

> “You don’t know much about cryptocurrencies — you don’t know anything about anything, you are fake news.”

⚡ The statement reflects Trump’s combative style with the press and his ambiguous stance towards the crypto market, despite recent gestures of support for the sector.$BNB

💵 Tether reaches 500 million users: the largest milestone in financial inclusion

➡️ Main event:

USDT is already used by 500 million people, about 6.25% of the world's population. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, called this "probably the greatest achievement in financial inclusion in history."

➡️ Why it matters:

🟡 According to the World Bank, 1.4 billion adults still do not have a bank account
🟡 Cryptocurrencies solve this problem — you just need a smartphone
🟡 In countries with high inflation or frozen accounts, USDT has become a lifeline

➡️ Example: Kenya

A Tether documentary showed how businesses and local residents use USDT:
🟡 To pay for imported goods when the national currency weakens
🟡 To preserve purchasing power
🟡 To send and receive payments without banks

➡️ Market dominance:

🟡 USDT market cap: $182.4 billion (58.4% of the stablecoin market)
🟡 Second place: USDC with $76.8 billion

➡️ Tether's plans:

The company is discussing raising $20 billion with a valuation of $500 billion, which would make it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.

Tether is not just a stablecoin — it is a global instrument of financial freedom, especially for those who were previously outside the banking system.

#📈 Stablecoin Market Grows: US$46 Billion in Net Inflows in the Quarter

In the third quarter, the stablecoin market saw a strong increase — net inflows reached US$45.6 billion, a jump of 324% compared to the previous quarter. The leaders were USDT, USDC, and the growing Ethena USDe.

➡️ Quarter Numbers

🟡 USDT — +US$19.6 billion
🟡 USDC — +US$12.3 billion
🟡 Ethena USDe — +US$9 billion
🟡 PayPal USD — +US$1.4 billion
🟡 MakerDAO USDS — +US$1.3 billion

According to DefiLlama, the total market capitalization reached US$290 billion, with USDT at 59%, USDC at 25%, and USDe at almost 5%.

➡️ But activity has dropped a bit:

🟡 Active Addresses — 26 million (–22.6%)
🟡 Transaction Volume — US$3.17 trillion (–11%)

Stablecoins continue to consolidate their role as the “digital dollars” of the crypto market. The increase in inflows, even with less activity, shows a phase of accumulation — calm before the next impulse.

📊 Bitcoin is approaching Amazon in corporate reserve size

$78 billion in Bitcoin versus $95–97 billion in cash from tech giants.

Strategy (known for its Bitcoin treasury) is now on par with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in liquid assets. With BTC at $126,000, its portfolio of 640,031 BTC has surpassed $80 billion — placing it among the top three corporate treasuries in the world.

➡️ Key facts:

🟡 Average purchase price — $73,981 per BTC; profit of +65% (~$30.4 billion)
🟡 Portfolio value already exceeds Apple, Meta, and Nvidia
🟡 Tesla remains the only other company in the top 10 with Bitcoin (11,509 BTC ≈ $1.4 billion)
🟡 The largest cash reserve still belongs to Berkshire Hathaway — $344 billion

➡️ Why this matters:

According to analysts at JPMorgan, Bitcoin and gold represent a "devaluation trade" — protection against the devaluation of the dollar and the rising U.S. public debt ($38 trillion).
Larry Fink (BlackRock) suggested that Bitcoin could reach $700,000 if this trend continues.

📈 Corporate adoption is growing:

More than 200 public companies now hold BTC on their balance sheets (less than 100 a year ago).
Major companies that avoided Bitcoin — Microsoft and Meta — lost double-digit profits, while Strategy continues to expand its positions.
