According to TechFlow news, on December 27, The Block reported that analysts pointed out that as Bitcoin prices adjusted, more and more investors began to pay attention to AI-driven investments and high-performance DeFi platforms. Bitget's chief analyst Ryan Lee stated that these emerging fields are becoming new frontiers for growth. For example, the HYPE token from HyperLiquid surged over 15% in the past 24 hours, while the AI-driven venture capital DAO token ai16z rose 8% in the same period.
Although emerging technologies and decentralized platforms provide exciting opportunities for investors, the strengthening of the US dollar has put pressure on digital asset prices. YouHodler's market director Ruslan Lienkha pointed out that higher interest rates make bonds and US Treasury securities more attractive to international capital, which in turn boosts the value of the dollar. This has led to a reduction in available capital for risk assets such as Bitcoin, potentially resulting in capital outflows.
