Analyst Justin Low: Key points to note regarding the US November CPI report: 1. Due to the previous government shutdown, the CPI report will be incomplete, possibly only reporting price levels for November; 2. Limited data reduces reliability, creating uncertainty regarding monthly inflation details; 3. Inflation may slow, with tariffs boosting core commodity prices, but seasonal discounts limiting prices; 4. The market may react briefly, but incomplete data limits its lasting impact on Federal Reserve expectations. (Jinshi)

According to PANews, a report by Cointelegraph suggests that if MSCI proceeds with its plan to exclude crypto asset treasury companies from its indices, these companies might be compelled to sell up to $15 billion in cryptocurrencies. The group opposing MSCI's proposal, 'BitcoinForCorporations,' has predicted, based on a verified preliminary list of 39 companies, that these companies, with an adjusted total market capitalization of $113 billion, could face an outflow of $10 billion to $15 billion. Additionally, the group noted that JPMorgan's analysis estimates that if Strategy is removed from the MSCI index, it could result in an outflow of $2.8 billion. Strategy accounts for 74.5% of the adjusted total market capitalization of the affected companies. Analysts have calculated that the potential total outflow for all affected companies could reach $11.6 billion. Such a significant outflow would increase selling pressure on the crypto market, which has been on a downward trend for the past three months. At the time of writing, the petition by 'BitcoinForCorporations' has gathered 1,268 signatures. Previously, it was reported that MSCI plans to establish new regulations to exclude companies with more than 50% of their assets in digital currencies from major indices. The final decision on this proposal is expected to be announced on January 15, 2026, and will take effect in the review of the same year in February.

According to PANews, Delphi Digital has released its annual infrastructure outlook report for 2026, highlighting stablecoins as a central focus in the cryptocurrency sector. The report reveals that the total supply of stablecoins has increased by 33% this year, surpassing $304 billion. Adjusted monthly transaction volumes have now exceeded those of Visa and PayPal, and stablecoins hold $133 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, ranking as the 19th largest holder. The report notes the irony of crypto companies competing with traditional payment channels. While stablecoin recharge cards circulating through the Visa network represent a significant step, they have yet to establish a new paradigm. Without solutions that allow for autonomous control over daily spending and storage, many competitors may eventually be eliminated. Traditional giants have recognized this trend, with Stripe integrating the USDB stablecoin following its acquisition of Bridge, PayPal launching PYUSD, and Klarna announcing KlarnaUSD. As fintech companies increasingly issue stablecoins, the market battle has begun. The true winners will be those who can fundamentally transform the underlying payment infrastructure, rather than merely optimizing the interface.
