**December 15**
Per CoinDesk, Doha Bank of Qatar has issued a $150 million digital bond with instant T+0 settlement via Euroclear’s distributed ledger infrastructure. The bond is listed on the London Stock Exchange’s International Securities Market, with Standard Chartered Bank serving as sole global coordinator and arranger for the transaction.
This issuance signals a shift toward regulated distributed ledger technology (DLT) systems—rather than public blockchains—as the preferred infrastructure for institutional asset tokenization. Euroclear’s DLT platform is built specifically for regulated capital markets, offering controlled access, legal finality, and integration with existing custody and settlement systems.

Original Canaan Inc. Co-Chairman: Recently, about 400,000 Bitcoin mining machines in Xinjiang, China have been shut down.
December 15 – Kong Jianping, former co-chairman of Canaan Inc. and current founder/chairman of Nano Labs, referenced a prior tweet (“Xinjiang Bitcoin mining facilities are gradually shutting down”) on Thursday. He noted that, based on Bitcoin’s recent hashrate drop, at least 400,000 mining machines (average 250T per unit) have been shut down recently.
Earlier data from F2pool shows the Bitcoin network’s current hashrate is 988.49 EH/s, a 17.25% decline from the same period last week.
Notably, foreign media reported in November that Bitcoin mining activity had picked up again in Xinjiang and other Chinese regions. As of October 30, 2025, China accounted for ~14% of global Bitcoin hashrate (third-largest globally). Subsequently, on November 28, the People’s Bank of China led 13 departments to launch a special campaign targeting virtual currency trading and speculation.

Bitunix Analyst: US Employment Stalls, Macro Stagnation Risk Remains, Crypto Market Focuses on Key Liquidation Range
**December 15 Update**
The U.S. labor market continues to cool: the unemployment rate has risen to 4.4%, hiring remains weak, and layoffs are steadily climbing—creating a "low hiring, low layoffs" stagnation. Economists warn that further deterioration in core industry employment could bring material downward pressure by 2026; the Federal Reserve has also flagged "significant downside risks" to the job market. Markets remain split on the "soft landing aftermath" and recession odds, but macro uncertainty is now a broad consensus.
Bitcoin (BTC) is in a consolidation phase. Heavy liquidation pressure clusters around $90,144, $91,000, and $91,300—signaling elevated selling pressure and leverage risk during the rebound. The key downside support level is $87,500; a break below may trigger fresh passive deleveraging. Short-term price action is likely range-bound, awaiting clear cues from macro data and liquidity trends.

US Employment, CPI, Index Rebalancing Triple Threat to Take Center Stage This Week
December 15th
Markets are on high alert this week, as a flurry of delayed economic data releases coincide with a broad market index rebalance—events that could spark volatility. The U.S. will publish the November jobs report and key inflation readings this week, which could either reinforce or push back against the Federal Reserve’s interest rate outlook for 2024.
Fed officials cut rates for the third straight time last week, while noting that as rates near neutral levels, they may keep an open door to easing again next year.
Also on tap: the U.S. November Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) expect the index to rise 3.1% year-over-year.
Farzin Azarm, managing director of stock trading at Mizuho Securities USA, says the week’s biggest market event is what he calls “one of the largest annual clearing events.” Specifically, quarterly rebalances for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 will take place Friday, when index providers will a
