Analysis of Web3 and AI Market Dynamics

1. Market Highlights

1. Market Trends

(1) Macro Environment

The U.S. non-farm payroll data for December is about to be released, and it is expected to more accurately reflect the current economic situation. Analysts predict that the number of new jobs will be around 153,000, a decrease from the previous two months. Economist Brian Bethune holds a more optimistic view, expecting new job additions to be between 165,000 and 175,000. If this data falls within the expected range, it may be seen as the "just right" state of the economy, neither raising inflation concerns nor indicating a recession. However, early indicators such as the ADP report show that private sector job growth may be slowing, with only 122,000 new jobs added in December, below market expectations.

(2) Web3 field

The Bitcoin market has recently exhibited an interesting phenomenon. Analysts point out that when the Bitcoin price approaches $100,000, market sentiment tends to be optimistic; whereas around $90,000, sentiment may turn cautious. The Bitcoin price often seeks a balance between these two ranges. Recently, the funding rate briefly turned negative (-0.001%), marking the first occurrence since last November, which may indicate the formation of a local bottom. This change has triggered a shift in market sentiment and the liquidation of some leveraged positions, followed by a rebound in the Bitcoin price to above $94,000.

2. Hot Events

(1) Macroeconomic Environment

Federal Reserve officials have recently issued warnings, suggesting that future interest rate cut decisions need to be more cautious. St. Louis Fed President Bullard stated that the current economic outlook has changed significantly compared to a few months ago. He pointed out that the risk of inflation hovering between 2.5% and 3% has increased, and therefore future rate cuts should be more gradual and conservative. Bullard emphasized that although the job market is in good shape, inflation remains a challenge that needs close attention.

(2) Web3 field

Dar Open Network has launched two innovative AI frameworks: the DeAI Multi-Agent Framework and aiNFT. The DeAI Multi-Agent Framework provides developers with a flexible platform for building and deploying collaborative AI agents, supporting multiple large language models as backends. aiNFT is a tool aimed at NFT holders, allowing users to create customized AI agents for their digital assets, giving NFTs unique personalities and interactive capabilities. These innovations aim to promote the deep integration of AI technology with digital assets.
