Macroeconomics and financial markets
In the US NY stock market on the 25th, the Dow continued to rise by $152 (0.4%) higher than the previous day. On the other hand, the Nasdaq, which has a high proportion of high-tech stocks, fell 0.52% due to the effects of short-time trading after the US holiday “Thanksgiving Day” and the fall in Apple stock.
On the 24th, when the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) were released, it was revealed that many participants had agreed to slow down rate hikes. Important indicators from this week onwards, such as the US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), are also likely to attract attention.
Virtual currency market
In the crypto asset (virtual currency) market, Bitcoin fell 2.2% from the previous day to $16,159.
After 8:00 Japan time, there was a large sell-off, with Ethereum (ETH) dropping 3.9% from the previous day and Solana (SOL) dropping 9.0%. . Since most of the market participants who have lost their pockets are skeptical, is the weight of the rebound phase exposed?
According to data from Solana Tokenomics , 48.6 million SOL are locked up out of Alameda Research’s large holdings of Solana (SOL), an investment firm affiliated with the failed major cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
This is a scale that accounts for 65.1% of Solana’s total stake , but considering that Alameda is a bankruptcy filing company, it will take several years to 10 years to complete the liquidation process based on past cases. It is possible, and unlikely to result in huge selling pressure immediately.
According to Stakewiz, Solana’s main validator, it has long been an “unspoken agreement” that Alameda runs its own set of validators.
altcoin market
Although BTC fell compared to the previous day, BNB rose 15% from the previous week and Dogecoin (DOGE) rose 20% over the weekend.
In the background of DOGE’s rise, CEO Elon Musk, who recently made a huge acquisition of Twitter, mentioned cryptocurrency payment methods on a slide about the “Twitter 2.0” concept posted on the 27th.

Entrepreneur David Gokhshtein also suggested that Ethereum co-founders Vitalik Buterin and Elon Musk are jointly developing Dogecoin, which is believed to have sparked speculative buying.
I feel that we’ll all see Vitalik and Elon working together to somehow upgrade $DOGE.

In August 2021, the Dogecoin Foundation welcomed Vitalik Buterin and others as advisors and revealed that it would participate in the transition support of the consensus algorithm from PoW (Proof of Work) to PoS (Proof of Stake). In February 2022, he publicly acknowledged his involvement in the Doge Project in a cryptocurrency-themed podcast, “UpOnly,” and reported that the transition plan is underway.
