[BlockBeats] Last week, the crypto market attracted another wave of real money—digital asset investment products saw a net inflow of $716 million for the week, bringing total assets under management up to $180 billion. But don’t celebrate just yet; this number is still far from the all-time high of $264 billion. Clearly, the market hype hasn’t returned to its craziest levels.
Where the money went is pretty interesting: Bitcoin remains the king of inflows, taking in $352 million, but XRP suddenly surged ahead with $245 million, and Chainlink was even more impressive—with a weekly inflow of $52.8 million, setting a new record. This amount accounts for 54% of its total assets under management, showing just how concentrated this wave of hot money is. Even more interesting, products shorting Bitcoin saw massive outflows, indicating that bears are starting to back down and market panic is notably cooling off.
Regionally, inflows are happening almost everywhere around the globe. The US led the pack with $483 million, Germany and Ca

[BlockBeats] Before the US stock market opened on December 8, crypto-related stocks collectively surged, which is quite encouraging:
• MSTR rose 2.58%
• COIN increased by 2.13%
• HOOD up 1.75%
• SBET performed well, up 3.26%
• BMNR was the strongest, up 4.55%
• CRCL rose 2.20%
Overall, the trend remains steady, and sentiment in the crypto sector has clearly warmed up.

[Bitpush] Last week, the crypto market saw another wave of capital inflows, with digital asset investment products attracting $716 million. This move pushed total assets under management to $180 billion. But to be honest, that's still quite a bit short of the all-time high of $264 billion.
The breakdown of fund flows is interesting: Bitcoin took in $352 million, maintaining its solid base. The real standouts, though, were XRP and Chainlink—XRP attracted $245 million in just one week, while Chainlink went even further, with $52.8 million in inflows hitting a record high, which now makes up 54% of its total assets under management. Another notable signal is that products shorting Bitcoin saw large outflows, indicating that market panic is clearly subsiding.
Looking at regional distribution, it's booming almost everywhere globally. The US remains the main force, pouring in $483 million, while Germany and Canada also contributed, with $90 million each.

[BlockBeats] Last week, the crypto market attracted another wave of capital—net inflows into digital asset investment products reached $716 million. This pushed total assets under management up to $180 billion, though it's still far from the all-time high of $264 billion.
Where did the money go? Bitcoin took in $352 million, holding down the fundamentals. But what's more interesting is XRP, which directly attracted $245 million—seems like institutions are showing renewed interest in this old coin.
Chainlink was even stronger this time—$52.8 million in inflows, setting a new record and accounting for 54% of its own assets under management. What does this ratio indicate? Either new funds are pouring in, or existing players are increasing their positions.
Another detail: products shorting Bitcoin saw large outflows. Is bearish sentiment in the market fading? At least, that's what the data suggests.
By region, the US remains the main player, with $483 million in inflows accounting for the majority. Germany and Canada...

[Crypto World] Recently, there's an interesting market on Polymarket—betting on whether Trump will publicly release the Epstein files on December 19 or before the end of the year. Logically, this should be a sure thing, right? After all, Trump already signed the "Epstein Files Transparency Act" on November 19, and the law clearly states that the Department of Justice must release all unclassified files within 30 days. If you do the math, that lands exactly on December 19.
But guess what the market thinks? The probability of release on the 19th is only 56%, and even by the end of the year it's just 70%. Where does such a big discrepancy come from?
The key lies in the settlement rules for this market, which are extremely strict. The files must be released directly by an executive branch agency via an official website or press release, and they must contain substantive content about Epstein's illegal activities—files unsealed by federal courts don't count, Congress releases don't count, and just releasing a metadata directory doesn't count either. Even if the Department of Justice wants to comply on time, it still has to first...
