Tom Lee: Many institutional investors will temporarily go off the grid during the year-end "holiday" trading period

2 hours ago

**December 31** Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine (the Ethereum Treasury Company), said on social media Thursday that “Typically, during these year-end holiday trading sessions, many institutional investors tend to step away temporarily. The market is largely driven by three key factors: - Quantitative programs and trading bots; - Tax-related stop-loss selling; This is a typical trait of market activity in the final days of December.” Separately, BlockBeats previously noted that on December 29, CoinShares’ latest weekly report showed digital asset products posted outflows of $446 million last week. Total outflows since October 10 have hit $3.2 billion, suggesting market sentiment has yet to fully rebound.

2026 Rate Cut Path Emerges as Key Variable for Crypto Market, Fed Disagreement Intensifying

**Dec 31 Update: Fed’s 2025 Rate Cuts Leave Rates at 18-Year High; 2026 Path Uncertain** The Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in 2025, pushing its benchmark rate to 3.5%-3.75%—still an 18-year high. Latest dot plot data shows officials deeply divided on 2026 policy: Views on zero, one, or two rate cuts are nearly evenly split, stoking rising market uncertainty. CME figures put January rate cut odds at just 20%, climbing to 45% in March. Most forecasts point to a 2026 cut (or only one). Analysts note: - If employment weakens and inflation stays controlled, 1-2 cuts could hit this year—benefiting risk assets. - If inflation rebounds, cuts paired with liquidity support (or a pause) would pressure stocks and crypto. Also critical for 2026 crypto: Powell steps down in May, with a potential dovish new Fed chair a key variable.
