🔥On-chain hotspots: Whales increase holdings in three major assets Despite an overall market pullback of about 1.1%, on-chain data shows that whales (addresses holding large amounts of funds) have not backed down, but instead intensified their layout for specific assets before the FOMC meeting. Their main focus of increased holdings is concentrated on three tokens:
Aster ($ASTER ): In the past 24 hours, whales have increased their holdings the most, with an increase of 11.61%, worth approximately $4.34 million, demonstrating confidence in a bullish outlook against the market trend.
{future}(ASTERUSDT)
Pippin ($pippin ): Over the past week, whales have significantly increased their positions by 18.2%, adding a new position worth approximately $9.75 million. This token has risen over 400% in the past month.
{future}(PIPPINUSDT)
Chainlink ($LINK ): As a mainstream asset, LINK has become a key target for whale betting. Over the past seven days, whale holdings surged by 28.93%, worth about $11.5 million, while the LINK balance on exchanges continues to decline, indicating that funds are flowing from trading platforms to on-chain wallets.

Additionally, meme coin SHIB has also shown unusual on-chain activity. Data from December 9 shows that SHIB had 406 transactions over $100,000 in a single day, the highest level in the past six months, possibly indicating that large holders are preparing for price volatility.
Sector Dynamics: Alpha airdrop attracts early players In Binance's Alpha sector, the launch of new projects and airdrop activities continue to attract the attention of early players. The privacy blockchain project Midnight (NIGHT) was launched on December 9, and users holding at least 230 points can claim an airdrop of 600 NIGHT tokens. This continues to maintain the Alpha sector's high popularity as a place for early opportunity discovery.
Summary In short, the current market presents a situation of "calm on the surface, turbulent underneath." Price pullbacks reflect short-term market sentiment, but the on-chain layout of whales and the activity in the Alpha sector reveal the exploration and ambush of funds for medium to long-term opportunities. For investors, while paying attention to price fluctuations, closely tracking the movements of this on-chain "smart money" may provide a different perspective. #night #AsterDEX #PIPPPIN #ALPHA🔥 #ALPHA
The Federal Reserve meeting is coming to an end, and the market is holding its breath. The Federal Reserve's December meeting concludes today, with the expected announcement of the last interest rate decision for 2025. Wall Street generally expects Chairman Powell to announce a 0.25 percentage point rate cut, marking the third rate cut of the year and bringing the federal funds rate range down to 3.75%-4%. Despite the delay in the release of the November employment and inflation data, last week's moderate increase in consumer spending has strengthened easing expectations. The CME FedWatch tool shows an 88% probability of a rate cut. Analysts warn that if Powell's remarks lean hawkish, it could trigger increased market volatility, affecting the policy path for 2026. US stocks fluctuate slightly, bond market under pressure. The three major US stock indices rose slightly in early trading, with the Dow up 0.1%, the S&P 500 flat, and the Nasdaq down 0.14%. Investor risk aversion is rising as they await signals from the Fed. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury rose to 4.18%, driven by better-than-expected October job vacancy data (7.67 million, higher than the 7.12 million forecast), indicating resilience in the labor market. Asian stock markets rose broadly, Europe remained flat, and the VIX fear index fell 10.33% over five days. Bitcoin faces year-end pressure, crypto market sluggish. Bitcoin's rollercoaster in 2025 may end with an annual decline, continuing its weakness since the crash on October 10, affected by doubts about the AI bull market and the interest rate path. Cosmo Jiang, a partner at Pantera Capital, stated that the risk market's break has intensified selling. Standard Chartered's original forecast of reaching $200,000 by the end of the year has now been downgraded. Although dovish signals from the Fed may boost crypto, the correlation with the stock market has increased, making a rebound unlikely in the short term. US dollar weakens, yen under pressure. The US dollar index has slightly declined as traders bet on a Fed rate cut, with the euro/USD rising to 1.1622. Expectations for a rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on December 19 have increased, with the yen falling to 155.87 against the dollar. The global bond market is stabilizing, with the 10-year German bond yield slightly decreasing to 2.752%. These events highlight the high sensitivity of global financial markets, and the Fed's decision may reshape the year-end market.
$ZEN #ZEN/USDT #Nadeemgujjar143 {spot}(ZENUSDT) Horizen (ZEN) is back on the radar — and this time with some serious upgrades. The project has officially migrated ZEN onto Base Network, giving the token full ERC-20 compatibility on a Layer-2 Ethereum-compatible chain. That shift opens the door to cheaper, faster trades and smoother integration into decentralized-finance platforms like Uniswap and AerodromeFi — a big step for a project that’s rebranding its utility from a legacy blockchain to a modern DeFi ecosystem. To support this move, ZEN’s team also launched a developer-grant program, allocating 1 million ZEN to spur growth in privacy-preserving DeFi, gaming, and AI projects within the Base ecosystem. For holders and traders, the migration could mean improved liquidity, broader exchange availability, and perhaps renewed market interest — especially as the token adapts to Base’s architecture. That said, with past changes to its privacy features and network architecture, potential users should keep an eye on ongoing developments. All in all: ZEN’s evolution feels like a rebirth — from privacy-first mainchain to a modern, Ethereum-style DeFi asset. $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT) $ETH {spot}(ETHUSDT)
