▌European Commission proposes expanding the powers of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), raising licensing concerns
On Thursday, the European Commission released a package of plans proposing “direct regulation” of key market infrastructure, including crypto asset service providers (CASPs), trading venues, and the ESMA’s central counterparty.
If adopted, the ESMA’s role in regulating EU capital markets will be closer to the centralized framework of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a concept initially proposed by European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde in 2023.

... The crux of the controversy lies in Jupiter Lend's claim of possessing a "segregated vault," but its actual use of rehypothecation technology to improve capital efficiency means the vault is not truly segregated. Cryptocurrency ▌A Whale Re-enters the Market, Buying 80,000 Tokens in Half a Month According to analyst Ember's monitoring, an AAVE whale who had 32,000 AAVE liquidated at $101 during the market crash has re-entered the market since November 24th. Within half a month, this investor has spent 14 million USDC to purchase 80,900 AAVE, at an average price of $173. Currently, through revolving loans, they hold a total of 333,000 AAVE (worth approximately $62.59 million), with a total cost of $167 and a liquidation price of $117.7. This whale has been accumulating AAVE tokens over the past two years through a revolving loan strategy. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated in an article on the X platform that, looking back at Bitcoin's performance over the past year, it has actually (at least so far) only retraced last year's extreme gains. Last year it rose by 122%, five times the price of all other assets. Therefore, even if Bitcoin performs modestly or even slightly declines in 2025, as long as it still maintains an average annual growth rate of around 50%, occasional cooling of assets is normal, and stocks are no exception. In my opinion, people are overinterpreting it.

▌Analyst: Bitcoin should not be compared to the tulip bubble
Analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out that Bitcoin should not be compared to the tulip bubble.
Unlike the tulip mania that collapsed after only three years, Bitcoin has existed for 17 years and has recovered to historical highs after 6-7 major setbacks. While Bitcoin, like gold and art, is a non-productive asset, it still possesses value. Central bank officials from various EU countries have pointed out that dollar-backed stablecoins could pose a threat to their monetary policy-making capabilities. The stablecoin market has experienced explosive growth over the past year, largely thanks to the legal certainty in the United States. The total market capitalization of stablecoins has hit record highs every month, but European Central Bank policymakers worry that increased adoption of these dollar assets during crises could trigger a series of problems. Issuers of euro- and pound-backed stablecoins also acknowledge these risks, but they believe that proposed solutions such as a digital euro cannot quickly provide viable alternatives and question whether central bank digital currencies are the right choice. Conversely, issuers believe that the key to solving the problem of Eurodollarization lies in building a thriving European stablecoin ecosystem. Monetary policymakers are already advancing the Eurozone's digital currency project. According to the European Central Bank, the project aims to reduce the Eurozone's dependence on non-European providers, help integrate the fragmented payments sector, and support innovation and competition. Significant uncertainties remain: it is unclear whether the digital euro will operate on blockchain or other proprietary systems; the proposed holding limits will offset many of the inherent advantages of private stablecoins, such as scalability and decentralized access. Whether it's a private stablecoin or a digital euro closely overseen by the European Central Bank, the sovereignty of European monetary policy depends on the development of digital currencies.
