Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has announced it is considering shifting its cryptocurrency regulatory framework from the Payment Services Act (PSA) to one based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). According to Cointelegraph, the move would strengthen disclosure requirements for Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs). Exchanges would be required to pre-disclose information on the issuing entity, token structure, and code audit results. Projects, regardless of their decentralization status, would also need to provide details on their issuance, distribution methods, and operating entities. The regulatory overhaul would also include expanded enforcement authority over unregistered overseas platforms and decentralized exchanges (DEXs), as well as an explicit ban on insider trading.

The Bitcoin volatility index continues to decline, weakening the possibility of a year-end rally, according to an analysis by CoinDesk. The media outlet noted that the Volmex BTC 30-day Implied Volatility Index (BVIV), which is based on options market data, has fallen to 49%. This marks a near-complete reversal from its mid-November peak of 65%. In a related analysis, crypto services provider Matrixport stated that as Bitcoin's implied volatility shrinks, the chances of a year-end rally are also reduced. The firm suggested that the upcoming U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Dec. 11 could serve as a final catalyst, but that volatility may slow even further afterward.

Gravity, the Layer 1 blockchain from Web3 community platform Galxe (G), announced it is being developed as a high-performance blockchain optimized for Real World Assets (RWA) and oracle utilization. In a post on X, the project stated it is building the necessary infrastructure to run large-scale RWA issuance, prediction markets, and data-intensive DeFi on-chain. According to the post, Gravity is based on Paradigm's Reth and incorporates a parallel EVM, an optimized mempool, and a pipelined execution structure, targeting a finality of approximately 1.9 Gigagas per second. The project also noted that an oracle layer is integrated directly at the protocol level, designed to anchor data from other chains, JWKs, and DNS, and provide it to contracts in a structured format. Gravity also distinguished itself from Tempo, another Reth-based, payment-focused blockchain that recently launched a public testnet. While Tempo focuses on real-world payment flows like stablecoin settlements, Gravity said its emphasis is on creating a high-performance execution environment for data-intensive applications such as native oracles, RWAs, and prediction markets.

Hedge funds are adopting risk-off positions ahead of the December U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, according to an analysis by XWIN Research Japan, a contributor to CryptoQuant. The research firm noted that while Bitcoin holdings on major exchanges are declining, deposits of USDT and USDC are on the rise. This trend indicates that institutions are reducing their exposure to risk assets and accumulating cash-like assets, a move often interpreted as a pre-emptive hedge before a major market event. This pattern mirrors behavior seen before the FOMC announcements between August and October. During that period, short-term traders entered large long positions, causing funding rates to spike, only for them to plummet immediately after the announcements. Bitcoin's price followed a similar trajectory, staging a brief rally on rate-cut hopes before reversing from its peak. The analysis concludes that with stagnant Bitcoin futures open interest on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and unchanged spot holdings among whale investors, the rising stablecoin inflows suggest institutions are focused on pre-emptive risk management rather than predicting market direction.

For Bitcoin to surpass the $100,000 mark, it must first convert the $93,300 level into a solid support line, according to an analysis by Cointelegraph. The media outlet noted that $100,000 is acting as a key psychological resistance, and repeated rejections at this level could trigger a sell-off similar to the one seen last February. To overcome this barrier, Bitcoin needs to secure $93,300 as definitive support and reclaim $98,000, the location of the five-day simple moving average on the BTC/USD chart. A breakout above this zone would target $108,000, where a major supply zone coincides with the 200-day moving average. Conversely, if BTC fails to break the $94,000 resistance, it could face increased downward pressure. A drop below $90,000 could lead to a potential pullback to $87,500 and subsequently to $84,000.
