【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, there has been an interesting trend in the market: US employment data remains stable, and inflation is not out of control, resulting in a comprehensive rebound in risk appetite. Risk assets such as stocks, precious metals, the US dollar, and cryptocurrencies are all rising. Continuous tensions in Venezuela and Iran have pushed up crude oil prices, but overall market sentiment remains calm and resilient.
What are investors pondering now? The expectation of Trump taking office. The market generally anticipates that he will try to push up asset prices by releasing liquidity and adopting a tough stance on the US to support American assets, while creating an atmosphere of "risk opening" globally. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin failed to break through several times but finally surpassed $95,000—finally not disappointing.
There is a mechanism worth noting: if precious metals continue to gain favor due to currency devaluation, Bitcoin's relative advantage as an alternative asset may shine again, attracting funds back into digital assets.
But don't forget the risks.

【CryptoWorld】SOL has recently exhibited a clear swing trading pattern over the past 4 hours. From 20:00 on January 13, 2026, until now, the price experienced a significant decline followed by a rebound, with the latest candlestick closing higher than the opening price, forming a bullish (yang) line. However, there is a detail worth noting—the trading volume is gradually shrinking. Although the price is still rising, the decline in volume indicates that the bullish momentum is weakening.

【CoinDesk】Chairman of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Tim Scott, publicly released a 278-page draft of a regulatory framework for digital assets on Monday, planning to assign regulatory authority over digital assets to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The most attention-grabbing clause of the draft focuses on stablecoin yields. According to the draft, digital asset service providers will not be allowed to pay interest or any form of yield to users solely because they hold payment stablecoins—however, reward mechanisms for specific activities such as trading, staking, and liquidity provision will still be retained.
This regulation has become a focal point of tension between the banking industry and the crypto sector. Banks worry that stablecoin yields will attract funds away from traditional savings accounts, while the crypto community accuses banks of using regulatory power to suppress competitors. Sources say that future proposals from lawmakers may include more aggressive amendments to further tighten stablecoin incentives.

【Crypto World】Nexo recently announced a major move — becoming the first title sponsor of the ATP 500 Dallas Open in the United States. This is not just a one-year partnership but a multi-year long-term agreement starting from 2026. Speaking of Nexo's involvement in the sports sector, this is already their fourth sponsorship of a tennis event, showing their continued investment in this field.

【Crypto World】Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has been a bit busy lately. Since January 1st, he has not posted on social media for 12 consecutive days, which was his voluntary choice — he stated at the time that he would take a break for a while to focus on refining long-form content and other communication channels.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Every price fluctuation of Bitcoin affects the liquidation data of exchanges. According to the latest on-chain data analysis, when the price breaks through or falls below key integer levels, mainstream exchanges will face liquidation pressures in different directions.
Specifically, if Bitcoin breaks above the $93,000 level, market short positions will be concentrated in liquidation, with the total liquidation strength potentially reaching 439 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below the $91,000 support level, a wave of long position liquidations will occur, with the total liquidation strength expected to surge to 455 million.
It is important to understand that the liquidation strength chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the value being liquidated. Instead, it uses bar graphs to reflect the relative importance of each liquidation price range compared to adjacent ranges — that is, the concept of "strength." In other words, this chart tells traders: when the price reaches a certain level, it may experience significant volatility due to concentrated liquidity.
