Macroeconomic Environment
Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin investment proposal
Recently, Microsoft shareholders voted down a proposal to invest 1% of the company's total assets in Bitcoin. The proposal was put forward by a research center and aimed to hedge against inflation risk. Despite an impressive speech by the founder of MicroStrategy, highlighting that Bitcoin investment could bring significant returns to Microsoft, the shareholders ultimately supported the board's position, opting for a more conservative investment strategy.
This decision reflects that mainstream institutional investors still maintain a cautious attitude towards cryptocurrency investments, tending to avoid the volatility risks of the current cryptocurrency market.
Web3 Field Dynamics
Solana ecosystem AI-themed tokens perform outstandingly
On December 11, several AI-related tokens on the Solana blockchain performed exceptionally well. Among them, the no-code development platform ALCH's market capitalization surpassed $150 million, reaching an all-time high. The AI-driven venture capital DAO token ai16z also exceeded $800 million in market capitalization, setting a new record. Additionally, the meme coin DEGENAI has seen its price increase by more than six times since its launch.
The strong performance of these tokens demonstrates the market's ongoing enthusiasm for AI and meme themes, while innovations in the Solana ecosystem are attracting increasing attention in this area.
