🟦The cryptocurrency industry is gearing up for the new year amid key events. In the EU, new rules for cryptocurrency exchanges will take effect on December 30, strengthening anti-money laundering measures and requiring compliance with MiCA. This will lead to stricter KYC procedures on platforms like Deribit. In the US, economic data, including unemployment figures and the business activity index, could impact the cryptocurrency market.
🟦The options sector remains under pressure following the expiration of $18 billion in contracts. Bitcoin is struggling to hold above $100,000, and reduced trading volumes continue to weigh on the market. With an influx of capital expected in 2025, market sentiment may shift.
