Last week, funds have flowed into #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #Hyperliquid.

On December 11, market data shows the U.S. stock market opened with the following moves: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) up 0.05%, the S&P 500 down 0.37%, and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.6%. The cryptocurrency market was broadly lower, with notable decliners including Coinbase (-3.73%), BitMine (-5.32%), Circle (-4.73%), and Strategy (-3.93%).

On December 11, Tom Lee projects the S&P 500 will hit 7,700 by 2026—extending the bull market into its fourth year—with the target implying an 11.8% upside. He cites the "Wall of Worry" dynamic, AI-powered robust tech growth, and potential Federal Reserve dovishness as key bullish drivers. In 2025, the S&P 500 gained 17%, while communication services and tech sectors jumped 33% and 27%, respectively. Lee is bullish on 2026 performance for tech, AI, crypto, materials, energy, and financials: materials and energy lagged other sectors this year, and financials rose 11.2%.

On December 11, Yat Siu—co-founder and director of Animoca Brands—told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that his firm’s proprietary investment portfolio includes over 628 portfolio companies, with roughly 200 focused on gaming. Siu likened Bitcoin to digital gold, while altcoins serve as the crypto space’s growth engine, analogous to the stock market. Given altcoins’ real-world use cases, he added their total market capitalization will eventually far surpass Bitcoin’s.

On December 11th, per LookOnChain monitoring data, whale address bc1qsz has just deposited 2,000 BTC (valued at approximately $180.33 million) into Binance. This whale previously purchased 5,000 BTC (worth roughly $463.55 million) from Matrixport on December 4–5, at an average price of ~$92,710 per BTC.

On December 11, Bitwise co-founder and CIO said at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that unlike networks like Ethereum, Solana-based apps actually tap the final 1% of performance—delivering users the next marginal liquidity and scalability. On most blockchains, running a node is as simple as “download the software, double-click to start”—and how much (or little) you stake barely moves the needle for the network or the apps users can build. But Solana’s app landscape shifts daily: its protocol layer, performance, and capacity all iterate rapidly, and node performance directly sets the ceiling. That’s why we’re focused on this: as this product (staking ETFs/trusts) locks up more SOL and gains more influence, the ecosystem, developers, users, and even the broader community need to feel that its growth won’t “crush” the market structure or ecosystem—instead, it’ll make the network more stable, reliable, and better able to weather the next wave of innovation.

December 11th, decentralized derivatives platform dYdX has officially launched its first spot trading product—kicking off with the Solana (SOL) trading pair—and opened access to U.S. users on its platform for the first time. While U.S. users still can’t use perpetual contracts, the official statement noted the team will keep monitoring regulatory developments from the SEC and CFTC for further review. (The Block)
