According to TechFlow, on December 23, Cointelegraph reported that Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman recently released a mysterious video titled "Soon," sparking speculation that she may run for the Senate seat in 2026. Previously, incumbent Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would not seek re-election. As a staunch supporter of the cryptocurrency industry, Lummis has promoted several blockchain legislations, including the Responsible Financial Innovation Act. Her departure will mean the crypto industry loses an important ally. Although Hageman has not yet made digital assets a core focus, she has already received support from Caitlin Long, a leading advocate for Wyoming's blockchain legislation. The 2026 election will test whether the state continues to maintain its position as a Senate advocate for cryptocurrency.

BlockBeats News, on December 23, "Bitcoin whale" Strategy (MSTR) suspended its bitcoin accumulation last week and increased its cash reserves to approximately $2.2 billion to cope with potential long-term market downturn risks. Affected by bitcoin's pullback and expectations of index exclusion, MSTR's stock price has significantly retreated from its highs, with a 43% drop from its 2025 peak, and market sentiment has clearly turned defensive. BiyaPay analysts believe that institutions choosing to "hoard cash and reduce risk" reflects that the current crypto market has entered a stage of deleveraging and patient competition. In the short term, bitcoin may continue to fluctuate within a high-volatility range, with liquidity and the impact of derivatives expirations remaining key factors. For ordinary users, it is more suitable to control position sizes and operate in batches. In volatile market conditions, BiyaPay supports the use of USDT for flexible allocation of digital assets and US and Hong Kong stock futures, among other diversified assets, helping users maintain capital mobility and risk diversification capabilities during uncertain cycles.

TechFlow News, December 23, expectations of interest rate cuts combined with geopolitical risks have led safe-haven funds to continue increasing their positions in precious metals. Recently, gold prices have repeatedly hit new highs, and investment banks have also raised their 2026 target levels (for example, Goldman Sachs has raised its December 2026 gold price forecast to $4,900 per ounce). BiyaPay analysts believe that the core logic behind the short-term rise in gold and silver remains "declining interest rates + safe-haven demand + debt devaluation trades," but under high volatility, it is more suitable to build positions in batches and control leverage and position size. With BiyaPay, users can exchange USDT for US dollars to participate in related products in the US and Hong Kong stock and futures markets (such as gold/silver-related ETFs), and flexibly manage deposits, withdrawals, and currency conversions.
