#GateCEO2025YearEndOpenLetter 🚀 The Gate Story: 12 Years of Magic & Growth!
Hello Friends,
Imagine a tree that was planted 12 years ago. Today, in 2025, that tree has grown so large that it’s reaching the clouds! This is precisely what Gate has achieved.
Here is what Dr. Han (our Captain) shared in his special year-end letter:
🏆 We are the Champions!
Silver Medalist: In the world of trading digital assets, Gate is now ranked #2 globally! It's like being the second-fastest runner in the entire world.
The Super Safe Vault: We have a massive "piggy bank" worth over $11 billion. For every $100 a

🍕 Pentagon Pizza Index Is Flashing Again — Signal or Noise?
According to Foresight News, citing Pentagon Pizza Report monitoring, as of 23:41 ET (12:41 Beijing Time), the Domino’s Pizza closest to the Pentagon and two nearest Papa John’s locations reported above-average foot traffic.
On the surface, this sounds trivial. Historically, it hasn’t been.
📚 What Is the “Pentagon Pizza Index”?
The Pentagon Pizza Index is an informal but persistent indicator observed by analysts and journalists for decades. The logic is simple:
during late-night military briefings, crisis response planning, or eleva

#IstheMarketBottoming?
📊 Institutional Signals & Crypto Market Outlook – January 2026
JPMorgan analysts are signaling that the recent crypto pullback may be nearing its end. The note highlights several key observations:
🔹 ETF Flows Are Stabilizing
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF outflows, which accelerated during the pullback, have started to stabilize.
Stabilization in institutional flows indicates that selling pressure from professional investors may be slowing down, providing a more solid foundation for the market.
🔹 Liquidity Remains Healthy
Despite volatility, overall market liquidity is sti

#DailyMarketOverview
📈 Crypto Market Snapshot – Jan 9, 2026
On January 9, markets showed a mixed performance as capital shifted quickly between sectors — a sign that traders are rotating into what’s working and trimming what isn’t.
🔹 Key Performers (Up 1%–5%)
FLOW — Strength from developer and ecosystem interest
GLM (Golem) — Modest upside on narrative resurfacing
XTZ (Tezos) — Stability on protocol upgrades
ZRO — Selective buying in active small‑caps
SOL (Solana) — Up ~2.6%, keeping DeFi/DApp interest alive
These moves suggest selective rotation, not a broad breakout — capital is discrim

#NonfarmPayrollsComing
📊 U.S. Nonfarm Payroll Report & BTC Watch
Tonight, the first U.S. nonfarm payroll (NFP) report of 2026 is coming out. Analysts are expecting around 60K new jobs.
🔹 Why It Matters
NFP data is a key economic indicator that shapes Federal Reserve rate expectations.
Stronger-than-expected jobs could slow rate cuts, while weaker data may boost expectations for easing.
Bitcoin (BTC) has been consolidating near $90.5K, and short-term moves could hinge on this report.
🔹 Possible BTC Impact
Bullish Scenario: Jobs miss expectations → Fed may signal slower tightening → BTC coul

🚀 #GateFun Token Surge | Major Move in Meme Token Space 🚀

#BTCMarketAnalysis
📉 BTC Reality Check — $91K Zone
We are in a tug-of-war zone. Bitcoin peaked at $126K in late 2025 but has corrected and is now hovering around $90K–$92K.
⚠️ Bull Trap Risk
Many traders are calling this a bottom, but short-term technicals are warning — a “Death Cross” is looming on some charts. Unless BTC convincingly reclaims $94K, a “Final Flush” down to $75K–$80K remains possible.
🌍 Macro & Geopolitics
Rising tensions in Iran & Venezuela are confusing the market: is BTC risk-on tech or digital gold? Currently, it’s tracking Nasdaq, meaning macro caution is winning.

📉 The Analysis: ETH at the Crossroads
The current price action on ETH is what I call "The Great Filter." Since the start of the year, we've seen a 10% rebound, but it hasn't been a clean "moon" shot.
The Technical Wall: We are currently grinding against a heavy resistance zone between $3,200 and $3,350. This area is packed with "bag holders" from late 2025 and key moving averages (the 50-day and 200-day EMAs) that are currently capping the upside.
The Fundamental Divergence: Under the hood, things look different. Institutional accumulation is at a record high—players like BitM

#FedRateCutComing To understand the Federal Reserve’s path in 2026, we have to look past the spreadsheets and into the "new normal" of a high-growth, sticky-inflation world. After the recent NFP report, the picture is becoming clearer: we aren't in a race to the bottom for rates; we are in a tactical retreat to a "Neutral Rate."
Here is my deep dive into the 2026 policy outlook and what it means for your portfolio.
🏛️ The Fed’s 2026 Roadmap: The "3.25% Destination"
The era of aggressive, back-to-back rate cuts is likely behind us. The Fed entered 2026 with a target range of 3.50%–3.75%, and m

#CryptoMarketWatch
🧭 The $90K Tug-of-War: Why I’m Choosing “Strategic Patience” Over Hype
If you’ve been watching the charts this week, you’ve felt it: that heavy, suffocating sideways movement. Bitcoin is sitting near $90,500, and the air is thick with a massive divergence between the "Permabulls" screaming for $150K and the "Bears" waiting for a breakdown to $74K.
The first NFP report of 2026 just dropped, and honestly? It gave us more questions than answers. 50K jobs—a miss, yet the unemployment rate fell to 4.4%. It’s a "Goldilocks" scenario that actually makes the Fed’s job harder, and

#2026CryptoOutlook
🔮 2026 Crypto Cycle: Late Bull, Consolidation, or New Beginning?
As 2026 unfolds, the market is at a crossroads. Bitcoin consolidates, altcoins rotate, and narratives compete for capital. The question isn’t just where prices go, but which narratives endure across cycles.

AI & Web3 Integration – Projects leveraging AI for smart contracts, on-chain analytics, or decentralized applications show long-term utility and network effects. These are likely to survive and compound across cycles.

#CryptoMarketStructureBill
🏛️ U.S. Crypto Market Structure Bill: Risk or Opportunity for DeFi?
U.S. lawmakers and industry groups are still locked in negotiations over the long-awaited crypto market structure bill, with DeFi exemptions emerging as the most contested issue. With a critical Senate vote expected next week, this has become one of the most important regulatory catalysts for the crypto market in 2026.
The outcome won’t just affect prices—it could shape how DeFi evolves for the next decade.
🔍 Why DeFi Is at the Center of the Debate
At its core, the disagreement revolves around a f

#DailyMarketOverview
📊 Market Snapshot (Jan 9): Rotation Over Direction
On January 9, crypto markets showed mixed but constructive price action. While majors remained range-bound, selective strength emerged across multiple sectors:
FLOW, GLM, XTZ, ZRO, SOL gained +1% to +5%
No broad-based breakout
Clear signs of capital rotation, not fresh inflows
This is a rotation market, not a trend market—and that distinction matters.
🔄 Capital Rotation: What’s Really Happening?
Instead of new money entering crypto, existing capital is cycling rapidly between narratives:
L1s catch a bid → stall → capita

📊 January 2026 NFP Report: Why Bitcoin’s Breakout Is Delayed (Not Dead)
The first Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report of 2026, released on Friday, January 9, sent a clear signal to both the Federal Reserve and crypto markets.
While the headline number was slightly weaker than expected, the details beneath the surface have shifted the narrative toward a “higher for longer” rate environment—temporarily putting Bitcoin’s breakout on hold.
