Trump: Cooperation with China Can Make America 'Great Again'

On December 9, Gensyn— the blockchain-based AI computing protocol— announced the launch of Delphi, its open market focused on machine intelligence. Delphi is now live on the Gensyn testnet. Delphi runs on a decentralized on-chain Automated Market Maker (AMM) using the Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule (LMSR), providing continuous liquidity from the first trade through final settlement. It enables users to track the real-time competitive performance of machine learning (ML) models in benchmark tests and invest in model equity. Model evaluation, trade execution, and price shifts all occur dynamically on-chain.

December 9th: Overseas investors are pouring into Japan’s Government Bonds (JGBs) at an unprecedented pace, with their trading volume now making up a record 65%—far above the 12% share it held 15 years ago. As the Bank of Japan (BOJ) cuts back on bond purchases and the government rolls out a major fiscal package, foreign capital has emerged as the key driver behind rising yields and heightened volatility. Yields on 30- to 40-year JGBs have hit multi-year peaks, pushing Japan from an “ultra-stable market” to a “global volatility generator.” While Japanese domestic institutions still hold more than 80% of outstanding JGBs (providing a degree of stability), foreign investors have high turnover and low capital stickiness. A sudden pullback by these investors could spark chain reactions, spilling over to U.S., U.K., and European sovereign debt markets. With inflation remaining above the BOJ’s 2% target, should the central bank hike rates again, it would push global interest rate volatili

On December 9, crypto analyst @ali_charts noted that Bitcoin has posted just one price gain across seven FOMC meetings so far this year — a 15% jump on May 7. All six other meetings saw price drops. With that track record in mind, @ali_charts is warning traders to watch this week’s upcoming FOMC meeting, as the market could face downside pressure following a “buy the rumor, sell the news” dynamic.

On December 9, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his observations, noting he had previously flagged that the Ethereum Foundation was short on experience with the P2P network layer—prioritizing cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus, and the block layer while often taking the network layer for granted. That dynamic has shifted, however, thanks to PeerDAS’s performance. Buterin highlighted that @raulvk and other Foundation members have made “heroic contributions” to PeerDAS’s smooth operation, as well as the development of a roadmap focused on faster propagation, stronger resilience, and parallel network privacy improvements. He expressed optimism about further progress ahead.

On December 9, Japanese publicly-listed fashion firm ANAP Holding purchased an additional 54.51 bitcoins, per BitcoinTreasuries.NET, bringing its total holdings to 1200.2 bitcoins.

On December 9, Santiment tweeted: “With Bitcoin’s market cap hovering around $90,000, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value continues to see net outflows from centralized exchanges (CEXs). Over the past year, 403,200 BTC have flowed out of CEXs, and the net amount of exchange-held Bitcoin has dropped by 2.09%. Overall, this is a long-term bullish signal: historically, the lower the exchange-held supply, the less likely significant sell-offs that trigger asset price downturns are to occur.”
