Huoxun Finance reported on December 9th that, according to CoinDesk, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated at the Bitcoin MENA conference that Strategy will not issue perpetual preferred shares (“digital credits”) in Japan within the next 12 months, granting Metaplanet a “one-year lead time.” Metaplanet plans to launch two new products, “Mercury” and “Mars,” entering Japan’s perpetual preferred share market, which currently only has five products, targeting significantly higher returns than traditional deposits. “Mercury” is expected to list in early 2026, with an annualized return of 4.9%. Since ATM financing is not permitted in Japan, Metaplanet will issue these through variable-strike-price warrants.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Federal Reserve is about to hold its FOMC meeting. Former Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard stated in an interview that if she were to participate in the upcoming interest rate decision, she might opt for a hawkish rate cut. Brainard indicated that, given the lack of official data, she would refer to employment data from non-governmental sources such as ADP and Revelio Labs (both of which show a decline in US job creation). Given that the Fed does not want to see the economy enter a self-reinforcing downward spiral leading to more layoffs, she personally prefers one more rate cut, followed by maintaining the rate unchanged for a period, with a firm commitment to reducing inflation to 2% over the next two years—a so-called hawkish rate cut. She stated that for Americans, the primary issue is inflation and prices. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan stated in a recent client briefing that the crypto market is poised for 10-20x growth over the next decade. He cited a prediction from SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, who stated that all U.S. stocks will be on-chain "within a few years." Currently, the U.S. stock market is worth approximately $68 trillion, while on-chain tokenized stocks represent only about $670 million, indicating significant growth potential. Hougan believes that stablecoins, tokenization, and Bitcoin will become increasingly important, but given the uncertainty of which blockchain network will ultimately prevail, he advises investors to seek broad market exposure through market capitalization-weighted crypto index funds rather than betting on a single network.
