BlockBeats News: On November 15th, Matrixport released its weekly report stating that Bitcoin is experiencing a strong upward trend driven by multiple favorable factors, including continuous inflows of Bitcoin spot ETF funds, expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and improved regulatory environment. The report specifically focuses on three important time points in December: MicroStrategy may be included in the S&P 500 index on December 6th, Microsoft will review Bitcoin investment proposals on December 10th, and FASB regulations will take effect on December 15th, allowing companies to measure cryptocurrency assets at fair market value. These events are expected to further drive institutional investors into the market. Looking ahead to 2025, the report predicts that the penetration rate of encrypted assets will exceed the key threshold of 8%. Meanwhile, factors such as the improved regulatory environment that may arise from Trump's inauguration in January 2025 and the expected return of $16.5 billion in creditor funds by FTX will continue to benefit the Bitcoin market. However, the report also reminds that the current RSI indicator shows overbought and may experience consolidation in the short term.

According to the official website, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority urges citizens to be vigilant and cautious of certain overseas cryptocurrency institutions that are not licensed banks in Hong Kong. They claim to be "banks" in Hong Kong or use the term "banks" when describing their products or services. These behaviors may have violated the Banking Regulations. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has noticed that two overseas cryptocurrency institutions, which are not licensed banks in Hong Kong, held events in Hong Kong. During the events, one of them was reported to have claimed to be a "bank", while the other described the card products provided on its website as "bank cards". The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is concerned that statements made by relevant institutions may lead consumers to mistakenly believe that they are licensed banks in Hong Kong and regulated by the authority, or to believe that such products and services are provided by licensed banks in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority reminds citizens that non Hong Kong accredited cryptocurrency institutions are not regulated by the authority. The inclusion of the word 'bank' in the name of overseas cryptocurrency institutions, or the claim of overseas' cryptocurrency banks' being licensed elsewhere, does not necessarily mean that they are licensed banks in Hong Kong. In addition, products or services with the word "bank" attached to their names may not necessarily be provided by licensed banks in Hong Kong.
