According to @CNBC, Asia-Pacific markets were set to climb after Wall Street notched a fresh record on December 11, 2025, signaling regional equity strength at the open (source: CNBC, Dec 11, 2025). For crypto context, Bitcoin’s correlation with equities increased markedly post-2020, which makes equity momentum relevant for digital asset risk appetite, per IMF staff analysis noting stronger BTC and stock co-movements since 2020 and BIS research documenting equity-crypto linkages (sources: IMF blog, Jan 2022; BIS Working Papers, 2022). Given this documented cross-asset linkage, traders tracking BTC and ETH often reference major equity sessions for directional cues during risk-on phases reported by mainstream market sources (sources: IMF blog, Jan 2022; BIS Working Papers, 2022).
