ChainCatcher News reports, according to Glonghui, HS Dent Investment Company founder Harry Dent recently warned that the most severe market crash in history will occur in 2026. Dent predicts that the current market bubble, which has lasted nearly 17 years, will burst, leading to a 90% decline in the stock market. He describes it as the worst market environment since the Great Depression, with stocks, real estate, and digital assets all trapped in a debt-driven "super bubble." Dent stated that early 2026—especially January—will be a critical period to determine whether the bubble will finally burst or if it will be extended for another year. The reason is that, based on historical experience, the strong performance of the stock market in the first week and month of January often indicates a bullish trend for the entire year; however, if January performs weakly, it will further confirm his bearish outlook. He summarized that the only assets that might "survive" are U.S. government bonds.

Golden Finance reported that F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated in a post on the X platform that he agrees with Blockstream CEO Adam Back's view that the market exaggerates the potential threat of Quantum Computing to Bitcoin, and he expressed that Quantum Computing is a "bubble" that will not break the secp256k1 Algorithm in the short term to affect Bitcoin.

This article summarizes cryptocurrency news as of December 19, 2025, focusing on the latest Bitcoin news, Ethereum upgrades, Dogecoin trends, real-time cryptocurrency prices, and price forecasts. Major Web3 events today include: 1. Tether CEO warns of AI bubble risks: could become the biggest external factor affecting Bitcoin prices in 2026; 2. Bank of Japan raises interest rates to 0.75%, but Bitcoin remains unusually calm: risk signal or new opportunity? 3. Bank of Japan's rate hike helps Bitcoin rebound to $88,000, Arthur Hayes bullish on the Japanese Yen and BTC.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino recently stated that the artificial intelligence (AI) bubble could become one of the major risk factors affecting Bitcoin price trends by 2026. As AI becomes a focal point for global capital pursuit, he believes that the rapid expansion in this field is accumulating potential instability in financial markets and could transmit through sentiment and liquidity to the cryptocurrency market. Ardoino pointed out that the investment boom in the artificial intelligence industry has driven rapid valuation increases in the short term, but if a bubble bursts in the future, it could trigger risk aversion on a global scale. Bitcoin, as a risk asset, often reacts to sudden macro shocks and market panic, and may be under pressure in extreme cases. However, he also emphasized that this does not mean artificial intelligence will weaken Bitcoin's long-term value fundamentals.

Chinese crypto analyst Banmu Xia pointed out that concerns about the AI bubble and Japanese interest rate hikes are nearing full valuation, and the Fed's balance sheet expansion is improving liquidity. Currently, it is a good time to buy risk assets mid-term, and in the future, there may be cyclical AI bubble concerns. Every pullback is an opportunity to buy.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that Bitcoin should not be compared to the 17th-century tulip bubble, arguing that Bitcoin has survived and risen after multiple downturns. Despite recent pullbacks, its long-term annualized return is around 50%, which is markedly different from the tulip bubble.

PANews, December 5—According to CoinDesk, James Butterfill, Head of Research at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, stated in a report that the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) bubble has largely burst. By the summer of 2025, some companies that were trading at 3 to 10 times their market value net asset value (mNAV) have now fallen back to around 1x or even lower. This trading model, which once regarded token treasuries as a growth engine, has undergone a sharp correction. The next move depends on market behavior: either prices fall further, triggering disorderly sell-offs, or companies hold their positions and wait for a rebound. Butterfill said he is more inclined toward the latter, citing an improving macro environment and a possible interest rate cut in December, which would support cryptocurrencies. Butterfill pointed out that the bigger challenge lies in structural issues. Previously, a group of companies...

ChainCatcher news, the topic of comparing the valuations of Ethereum and Amazon is causing heated discussion on X. Santiago, founder of Inversion Capital, believes that Ethereum is overvalued. He stated that ETH's price-to-sales ratio (valuation of $380 billion, annual revenue of $1 billion) is much higher than Amazon's; even during the internet bubble, Amazon's price-to-sales ratio never exceeded 28 times. The price Ethereum holders pay for every $1 of revenue is about 146 times what Amazon investors paid back then. He believes Amazon is also a successful network. Whether it's a company or a network, its pricing depends on the economic benefits it generates (revenue and cash flow), and TVL, collateralized assets, or settlement volume are not revenue. Ethereum treasury company SharpLink, on the other hand, stated that traditional valuation models do not apply to Ethereum: Ama

According to a report by Jinse Finance, HSBC Bank emphasized that the latest research shows 74% of companies have received positive returns from generative AI, contradicting previous claims that 95% of companies had not seen any investment returns. Analysts at the institution stated that the widely cited July MIT NANDA report was based on insufficient data and exaggerated concerns about an AI bubble. HSBC pointed out that measuring the success of AI is a complex task that requires rigorous methodology. The study, jointly conducted by Wharton School and GBK, is now in its third phase and provides more reliable evidence that AI investments are delivering tangible productivity and performance improvements for many enterprises.

"Big Short" Michael Burry once again criticized Bitcoin on a podcast, claiming it is worthless and that its price is absurd, even worse than tulip bulbs, emphasizing that Bitcoin fuels criminal activity. He warned back in 2021 that Bitcoin is a speculative bubble.

Odaily News DAT provides investors with exposure to underlying digital assets by packaging crypto assets in securities regulated by the SEC, aiming to outperform the performance of the underlying assets through a strategy that maximizes returns. A key metric for measuring the performance of DATs is the market net asset value (mNAV), which compares the company's enterprise value to its digital asset holdings. Investment bank Macquarie points out that the viability of DAT is closely related to the equity premium relative to net asset value. If this premium erodes or turns into a discount, the model will face significant challenges. When the crypto market experiences a pullback, mNAV may fall below 1, indicating that the company's trading price is below the value of its crypto asset holdings, which may force DATs to sell some tokens to obtain liquidity.

PANews, December 2nd news, according to Cointelegraph, the price of Bitcoin has currently dropped 31.4% from the historical high of $126,000 reached on October 6th. This pullback has caused the BTC price to fall below its network value (Metcalfe's value) for the first time in two years. Economist Timothy Peterson states that historically, this often indicates a recovery for Bitcoin. Metcalfe's Law indicates a positive correlation between BTC price and the rise in active addresses and volume (i.e., network value); the more wallets and transactions there are, the higher the fair price. This divergence between price and network value indicates that Bitcoin is undervalued relative to the continuously expanding network, a situation that usually occurs after excessive speculation. Peterson posted on X platform on Tuesday, stating that while it does not mean the price has hit bottom, it indicates that most of the leverage has been cleared and the "bubble" has burst. He also added that the Metcalfe price

Crypto KOL Lark Davis posted on platform X, saying: "Oh my gosh!! The Fed just injected $13.5 billion into the market through overnight repurchase operations. This is one of the largest liquidity injections since the COVID-19 pandemic, exceeding the scale of any overnight repurchase operation during the dot-com bubble."

The Fed recently injected Liquidity into the banking system through a $13.5 billion overnight repurchase operation, which is the largest repurchase operation since 2020, even exceeding the scale of operations during the burst of the tech bubble in the early 2000s. This surge in repurchase reflects the rising demand from banks for short-term dollar Liquidity, while also raising concerns in the market about financing pressures and potential chain reactions in the asset markets. The repurchase market allows financial institutions to obtain overnight cash by collateralizing U.S. Treasury bonds, supporting banks' daily cash flow and balance sheet management. Financial analysts point out that when banks are in urgent need of Liquidity, repurchase demand typically increases, which may indicate a tightening credit environment or increased collateral pressure. Similar situations occurred in September 2019 when repurchase market activity surged and during the pandemic in 2020.

Arthur Hayes expressed concerns about the Monad Token model, calling it a high FDV and low Circulating Supply, with extremely high risks that could lead to a brief market bubble followed by a rapid sell-off. He is bearish on the project, believing that most emerging L1 projects, including Monad, will struggle to survive.

Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations in November: it reached as high as $110,000 at the beginning of the month, and a few weeks later fell to a low of $80,600, possibly marking the largest monthly drop since 2018. However, in the past week, the market has shown signs of recovery, with Bitcoin rising 10.6% and returning to the $90,000 level, bringing a glimmer of optimism to the market. Market analysis indicates that trading volume significantly decreased this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. Wall Street was closed all day on Thursday and only opened for half a day on Friday, with limited liquidity being a key factor. Meanwhile, concerns over the artificial intelligence sector bubble are gradually dissipating, while investor expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December continue to heat up. The CME FedWatch tool shows that the likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut on December 10 is as high as 84.7%, with only 15.3% believing that rates will remain between 3.75% and 4%. A decrease in interest rates often boosts risk assets, and Bitcoin is expected to benefit.

BlockBeats reported that on November 27, the renowned economist Nouriel Roubini has carried the nickname "Dr. Doom" for nearly two decades. This economist believes that after a brief period of cooling growth, a strong rebound driven by technology and capital expenditure will follow, allowing the U.S. to maintain its leading position in the world. He pointed out that, first, market discipline, rational advisors, and the independence of the Fed protected the worst policies after the "Day of Liberation." Due to a rapid and substantial adjustment in the market, Trump had to concede and negotiate a more reasonable trade protocol. The current popular view—that the U.S. stock market is in a massive bubble destined to burst—is incorrect in the medium term. Roubini noted that increased GDP growth may lead to rising real bond yields, but a massive positive total supply shock driven by technology could.

CITIC Securities pointed out that the decline of the US stock market on November 20 was mainly driven by macro factors rather than a collapse of the AI bubble. Profit-taking and the Fed's hawkish statements triggered a pullback, and the market may focus on Trump's nomination of a new Fed chairman in the future. At the same time, the fundamentals of the AI zone are solid, and the possibility of a bubble burst in the short term is low.

The Fed Vice Chairman Jefferson believes that the development of artificial intelligence is significantly different from the internet bubble of the late 1990s, and that the current valuations of AI companies are lower than the peak values of internet companies at that time. He pointed out that it is still too early to judge the impact of AI on monetary policy, and that the financial system remains robust.

BlockBeats news, on November 21, Fed Vice Chairman Jefferson: Unlike the internet bubble period, the rise in AI-related stocks is mainly due to the fact that AI companies actually have real earnings. The current market's differences from the internet bubble period make it unlikely that we will witness a repeat of the late 1990s. It is still too early to determine how AI will affect the labor market, inflation, and monetary policy. (Jin10)

On November 5, Jin10 reported that the market capitalization of global chip manufacturers has sharply declined, as investors' concerns over the high valuations of tech stocks deepen. The selling wave led to a combined evaporation of about $500 billion in market capitalization for the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index on Tuesday and the index tracking Asian chip stocks on Wednesday. This big dump highlights that the rise of semiconductor stocks driven by the AI boom has been excessively overdrawn. Since the low point in April, as investors bet on a surge in AI computing demand, the market capitalization of chip manufacturers has increased by several trillion dollars. However, the current pullback reflects the market's growing concerns about the industry’s earnings prospects and excessively high valuations, especially against the backdrop of interest rates potentially being 'higher for longer.' Chris Weston, the research director at Pepperstone Group, stated: 'The entire market is a 'sea of blood,' presenting a gloomy and dull risk landscape. We must keep an open mind and acknowledge that this adjustment may further expand. Currently, there is almost no reason to buy.'
