According to TechFlow, on December 21, Cointelegraph reported that Lomesh Dutta, Vice President of Growth at Dfinity Foundation, stated that AI no-code development tools combined with blockchain are challenging Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s dominance in the cloud computing market. These tools allow users to create applications through natural language prompts instead of writing code, and deploy them on decentralized blockchain infrastructure, thereby reducing reliance on centralized cloud servers. When applications are continuously generated and iterated by AI, what is needed is secure, tamper-proof infrastructure that can remain online without ongoing manual maintenance, and decentralized blockchain networks provide a brand new computing paradigm for this purpose. It is reported that currently, a large number of crypto and Web3 projects still heavily rely on centralized cloud services such as AWS for their external applications and websites. In 2025, multiple AWS outages affected many crypto platforms and exchanges. Bitget Wallet CMO Jamie Elkaleh and Uplink co-founder Carlos Lei, among other industry insiders, criticized that while the crypto industry has achieved decentralization at the ledger level, it is still far from meeting the standard at the infrastructure level.

Odaily reported that the cryptocurrency industry expressed regret over the announcement by US Senator Cynthia Lummis, a supporter of cryptocurrencies, that she will not seek re-election in 2026. Cynthia Lummis stated that although she is a devoted legislator, she feels she does not have the energy to sustain another six-year term. Collin McCune, Head of Government Affairs at a16z, commented that without Cynthia Lummis's efforts in Congress, the crypto industry would not have achieved its current success. David Sacks, the White House Director of AI and Cryptocurrency, described her as a great ally in the crypto field. Previously, Cynthia Lummis had vigorously promoted the "Responsible Financial Innovation Act" and the "Clarity for Digital Assets Act," aiming to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets. Kyle Samani, Managing Partner at Multicoin, stated that although Cynthia Lummis has decided to step down, policy work is not yet complete, and there is still legislation to be passed in 2026.

the Bitcoin to Gold (BTC/XAU) price has dropped to the level of about 20 ounces of gold, the lowest since early 2024. At the same time, the weekly RSI indicator of this ratio has fallen to around 29.5 (oversold area), close to a three-year low. Data shows that this RSI oversold region historically often appears near the bottom of bear markets. Some analysts believe this may indicate that Bitcoin is undervalued and has potential for a rebound in the future. However, there are also views that if this key support is broken, it may signal a weakening trend.
