PANews reported on December 11th that, according to Decrypt, Fundstrat co-founder and BitMine chairman Tom Lee stated in an interview, "BitMine believes Ethereum has bottomed out, and we've more than doubled our Ethereum purchases compared to two weeks ago." Tom Lee and BitMine are more excited about Ethereum's prospects over the next 10 to 15 years, especially given Wall Street's acceptance of the Ethereum network and its role in the future of finance. He stated, "The reason we're excited about Ethereum is that Wall Street has chosen to use this blockchain to position itself for the future. It started with stablecoins, which was a major 'epiphany' moment for Wall Street… but that was just tokenizing the dollar. Now Wall Street wants to tokenize everything, and they're not building on Bitcoin—they need a smart contract platform." The company recently significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, purchasing over 138,452 ETH last week, worth approximately $460 million at current prices. This is the largest single transaction since BitMine purchased over 200,000 ETH in October. As of Wednesday, the company held approximately 3.864 million ETH, representing about 3.2% of the circulating Ethereum supply.PANews reported on December 11th that, according to Decrypt, Fundstrat co-founder and BitMine chairman Tom Lee stated in an interview, "BitMine believes Ethereum has bottomed out, and we've more than doubled our Ethereum purchases compared to two weeks ago."

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.
