1. Economic Daily: The price of bitcoin rises as risks increase.

The article states that recently, the price of bitcoin has been rising continuously, reaching 0.099 million US dollars per unit at one point, setting a new historical record. Yu Jianing, co-chair of the Blockchain Special Committee of the China Communication Industry Association and honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, stated that in the short term, bitcoin may look for new resistance or support in volatility, while in the medium to long term, its price direction will depend on multiple factors such as global liquidity, economic outlook, and regulatory attitude. Yu Jianing analyzed that due to the fragmentation of crypto asset funds, the market is susceptible to manipulation by large amounts of capital, leading to behaviors like 'crashing' or 'lifting' the market, which in turn causes irrational operations by retail investors. The article mentions that regulatory authorities in our country have always been clear in their stance, identifying that activities related to cryptos are considered illegal financial activities, maintaining strict regulation on cryptos from various aspects, including cracking down on bitcoin mining and cutting off the funding chain for crypto speculation. 'Overall, as the popularity of bitcoin and the crypto market increases, new risks and uncertainties are also on the rise. Investors should respond to the current market with a rational and prudent attitude, closely monitor regulatory dynamics and market changes, and avoid blindly following trends,' warned Zhao Wei, a senior researcher at the OKX Research Institute.

Industry insiders indicate that BTC has become a mainstream investment tool, but if the new leadership of the SEC in the USA takes a conservative stance, it may lead to a decline in market confidence.

Fu Rao, executive director of the Hong Kong International New Economy Research Institute, pointed out that bitcoin, as an important component of the digital economy, has gradually transformed from a speculative asset to a mainstream investment tool. Despite a favorable long-term trend, short-term market sentiment and speculative capital flows may lead to price corrections, and investors should be wary of the market risks arising from overly optimistic sentiments. The friendly policies of the Trump administration towards the cryptos industry will continue to provide strong support for bitcoin. However, it is important to be cautious, as the specific implementation process of the policies may carry uncertainties. For example, if the new leadership of the SEC holds a conservative view on bitcoin, it may lead to a decline in market confidence.

12. South Korea postpones the implementation of the cryptocurrency capital gains tax to 2027, with the ruling party suggesting an extension to 2028.

At a press conference on December 1, the leader of the largest opposition party in South Korea, Park Chan-dae of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced the abandonment of plans to implement a cryptocurrency capital gains tax in 2025, agreeing to postpone it for another two years until 2027. The proposal to 'postpone the cryptocurrency capital gains tax' was put forward by the South Korean government and the ruling party, the People Power Party. The Democratic Party previously stated that the postponement is a political ploy by the ruling party. Initially, South Korea planned to impose a 20% tax on cryptocurrency gains (22% for local tax), which was set to take effect on January 1, 2022. Due to strong opposition from investors and the industry, this plan has been postponed twice until January 1, 2025. Following today's press conference, the tax collection has been postponed again until 2027. The ruling party, the People Power Party, also proposed that 'a two-year grace period for the crypto capital gains tax is still insufficient and should be extended to 2028, as rapid taxation on crypto is undesirable and may drive investors out of the market. The People Power Party hopes to delay the implementation until 2028 to fulfill commitments made during the election period.'
