According to ShibDaily, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has forecasted that Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will be the first U.S. crypto funds to launch in 2025, with additional funds to follow. On December 17, Balchunas shared an analysis from fellow ETF analyst James Seyffart, indicating a gradual introduction of cryptocurrency ETFs next year. The initial offerings are expected to be Bitcoin and Ethereum combination ETFs, followed by potential funds for Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR).Balchunas and Seyffart suggest that Litecoin and Hedera ETFs could be approved sooner due to their favorable regulatory status. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has previously rejected several Solana ETFs, and Seyffart noted that Solana (SOL) and XRP ETFs might only be considered after the new SEC chair, appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, assumes office. The analysts believe that the SEC views LTC and HBAR more favorably, which could lead to their approval before larger market-cap assets like XRP and SOL. The SEC has classified XRP and SOL as securities, complicating the approval process for ETFs linked to these cryptocurrencies.Litecoin is seen as a strong candidate for ETF approval due to its classification as a Bitcoin fork, potentially qualifying it as a "commodity." Meanwhile, Hedera has not been categorized as a security by the SEC, possibly easing its path to ETF approval compared to other cryptocurrencies facing regulatory challenges. Despite the stronger approval prospects for LTC and HBAR, the analysts noted uncertainty regarding investor demand for these funds.Many in the crypto community are hopeful that the SEC, under the leadership of Paul Atkins, a nominee selected by President-elect Trump, may adopt a more favorable stance toward crypto assets. Trump has expressed that Atkins is a strong advocate for dynamic, innovative capital markets that meet investor needs and drive economic growth to bolster the U.S. economy.

According to Odaily, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has called for the abolition of the debt ceiling, a day after opposing a congressional agreement to fund the government before a potential shutdown. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump described the complete removal of the debt ceiling as "the wisest thing Congress could do," expressing his full support for such a move. He stated, "Democrats say they want to get rid of it. If they want to get rid of it, I will lead the charge."Trump argued that the debt ceiling is a meaningless concept, and no one knows for certain what would happen if it were ever breached—whether it would result in a disaster or prove inconsequential. He emphasized that no one should desire to find out the answer, adding, "It makes no sense, except psychologically." Trump's comments reflect ongoing debates about the necessity and impact of the debt ceiling, as lawmakers consider its implications for fiscal policy and government operations.

According to BlockBeats, on December 19, the Bank of England decided to keep its interest rate steady at 4.75%, aligning with market expectations. The decision, however, came with an unexpected voting result of 6 to 3. Governor Andrew Bailey emphasized that a gradual approach to future rate cuts remains appropriate. He noted the inability to commit to specific timing or magnitude of rate reductions in 2025.The surprising element in the decision was the presence of three members who voted in favor of a 25 basis point rate cut. These members expressed concerns over the risks associated with a significant output gap due to weak demand. They also highlighted that, in the medium term, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is projected to fall well below the 2% target.Following the announcement, the British pound weakened against the US dollar, with the GBP/USD exchange rate dropping to 1.2604.
