Uncover the Hidden Insights of the Cryptocurrency Market
Market Observation
The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a major upheaval, with the overall market value seeing a decline of over $250 billion. Bitcoin, a prominent player, depreciated by 5% to reach $95,519. Ethereum, which had been on a high, also took a significant hit and fell from its recent peak to $3,500. This volatility has not only affected the prices of these digital currencies but has also led to notable movements among industry insiders.For instance, Ethereum researcher Max Resnick made a bold move by leaving Ethereum and joining the Solana camp. This decision sparked discussions and speculations within the industry. Additionally, Tron founder Justin Sun sold his Ethereum portfolio worth approximately $119.7 million after Ethereum broke through the $4,000 mark. Such actions have triggered widespread market speculation about his investment strategies.However, despite these seemingly negative signals, the cryptocurrency sector is still showing positive developments. At the government level, a Russian lawmaker proposed the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve to deal with sanctions. This indicates that digital assets are gradually being integrated into the global financial strategy. In the corporate world, the acceptance of Bitcoin is on the rise. With the support of the National Center for Public Policy, Amazon shareholders proposed converting at least 5% of the company's assets into Bitcoin. Microsoft has also considered a similar plan. Cryptocurrency mining company Riot Platforms plans to raise $500 million for Bitcoin acquisitions through private placement of convertible senior notes, highlighting the continued confidence of institutions in the cryptocurrency market.From a market analysis perspective, Tom Lee, an analyst at Fundstrat, pointed out that the recent rise in Bitcoin may suggest a future strength in the S&P 500 index. This judgment is based on the current high risk appetite of investors. He also emphasized the correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S. stock index, which helps explain the possible connection between the current Bitcoin pullback and the stock market decline. It is worth noting that the Indian company Jetking Infotrain purchased 12 Bitcoins, becoming the first listed company in the country to hold Bitcoin. This move is particularly significant in India's strict regulatory environment and may open up new prospects for the development of cryptocurrencies in the region.

Uncover the Factors Behind US TV Viewing Spikes in November
Sports and Broadcast Viewing
In November, broadcast viewing saw a significant 3 per cent increase, accounting for 23.7 per cent of total TV viewing time. The first week of the month was particularly dominant for the broadcast category, featuring Games 3, 4, and 5 of the MLB World Series on Fox, along with the regular slate of NFL and college football games. The combined viewing minutes of the final three World Series games exceeded 10 billion, and the Dodgers' victory in Game 5 attracted 18.2 million viewers, making it the sixth most watched broadcast telecast. This concentrated week of broadcast sporting events boosted the category's share to 24.9 per cent in the first week, and increased broadcast sports viewing by 34 per cent over October.Presidential Election and Cable Viewing
The coverage of the presidential election in the second week of the month led to viewing increases, especially for cable. Although cable ended November with a 25 per cent share of viewing, its share during the election week jumped to 26.5 per cent. Much of this increase was attributed to cable news. Interestingly, cable news viewing only rose by 1 per cent monthly but climbed from 36 billion to 48 billion viewing minutes between weeks one and two (+32 per cent), resulting in a share boost.Streaming Viewing Trends
Streaming viewership witnessed a substantial 7.6 per cent increase in November, reaching a record share of 41.6 per cent (+1.1 pt.). Some of this growth can be attributed to viewers seeking refuge from the unusual, election-driven news cycle covered by traditional TV networks. During the third week of the interval, the streaming category reached 42.6 per cent of TV viewing. Netflix also experienced peak viewership during this week, hitting 8.5 per cent of TV (compared to its overall monthly share of 7.7 per cent). This peak coincided with the live-streamed Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match and was fueled by viewing of its original series The Lincoln Lawyer, which had 3.9 billion viewing minutes and was the most watched streaming programme.Streaming Service Highlights
Three streaming services achieved platform-best shares in November. The Roku Channel saw a 12 per cent increase to 1.9 per cent of TV. Prime Video had a 10 per cent rise to 3.7 per cent of TV. YouTube secured a new category record with 10.8 per cent of TV. Peacock, although falling short of its Olympics-driven platform record, still had the largest monthly increase among streamers at 1.5 per cent (+0.2 pt.). Peacock's significant increase was partly due to Despicable Me 4, which generated 1.5 billion viewing minutes and a 58 per cent increase in kids viewing on the platform.
