يستعد الرئيس الأمريكي السابق دونالد ترامب لإطلاق عملته الرقمية الخاصة، والتي من المقرر أن يتم إطلاقها يوم الأربعاء. وفي حين تكهن البعض بأنها قد تكون عملة مشفرة، فإن مشروع ترامب هو منتج تقليدي أكثر منه أصلًا رقميًا.

 
عملة جديدة لدعم الحملة الرئاسية
أعلن دونالد ترامب، الذي يترشح مرة أخرى لرئاسة الولايات المتحدة، عن إطلاق عملة معدنية جديدة لجمع الأموال لحملته الانتخابية. ويهدف المشروع، الذي يحمل عنوان "ميدالية فضية الإصدار الأول للرئيس ترامب"، إلى توزيع الفضة المادية على الأمريكيين الذين يدعمون رؤيته السياسية ويريدون رؤيته مرة أخرى في منصبه. وعلى الرغم من أن العديد من مؤيديه توقعوا أن يصدر ترامب عملة مشفرة، إلا أن هذه العملة المعدنية الجديدة مختلفة تمامًا.

يوتيوب توسع بشكل كبير استخدامه للذكاء الاصطناعي وتستعد لإطلاق ميزات جديدة تهدف إلى منح المبدعين المزيد من الطرق لزيادة وجودهم على المنصة. وفقًا لمدير يوتيوب التنفيذي نيل موهان، سيتمكن المبدعون في وقت لاحق من هذا العام من إنتاج مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة التي تعرض صورتهم الرقمية الخاصة - نسخة مولدة بواسطة الذكاء الاصطناعي من وجههم وصوتهم.
يوتيوب شورتس، صيغة الفيديو القصير على المنصة، الآن متوسط ​​حوالي 200 مليار مشاهدة يوميًا وسيكون المساحة الرئيسية لهذه التجارب الجديدة المدفوعة بالذكاء الاصطناعي. بينما لم تعلن يوتيوب بعد عن تاريخ إطلاق دقيق أو مواصفات تقنية مفصلة، تقول الشركة إنه سيتم مشاركة المزيد من المعلومات قريبًا.

ذكرت التقارير أن البنك المركزي الإيراني اشترى عملات مشفرة بقيمة تزيد عن 500 مليون دولار في عام 2025 بينما كان يتعامل مع أزمة مالية متزايدة وسعى لإيجاد طرق للت circumvent العقوبات الأمريكية. تأتي النتائج من تقرير صادر عن شركة تحليل blockchain Elliptic.
وفقًا لـ Elliptic، قام البنك المركزي بإجراء عمليتين كبيرتين لشراء عملة USDT المستقرة التي أصدرتها Tether في أبريل ومايو 2025. وتستند الاستنتاجات إلى وثائق مسربة بالإضافة إلى التحقيقات الخاصة للشركة في blockchain.
بحلول يونيو 2025، تم تحويل معظم الأموال إلى بورصة عملات مشفرة محلية إيرانية، حيث يمكن للمستخدمين الاحتفاظ بـ USDT، وتبادله مقابل أصول رقمية أخرى، أو تحويله إلى الريالات الإيرانية. تغيرت تلك الإعدادات بشكل كبير بعد أن تعرضت البورصة للاختراق في يونيو من قبل مجموعات متحالفة مع إسرائيل. بعد الاختراق، تم تحويل USDT إلى أصول تشفير مختلفة ونقلها عبر عدة شبكات blockchain.

دخلت XRP عام 2026 بزخم قوي، لكن تفاؤل المستثمرين أثبت أنه قصير الأمد. بعد ارتفاع في أوائل يناير دفع السعر إلى 2.41 دولار، عكس السوق واتجه الرمز تدريجياً لاستعادة جميع مكاسبه تقريبًا للعام. كان مزيج من عدم استقرار السوق، والقلق الاقتصادي الكلي، وضعف مشاعر المستثمرين يؤثر بشكل كبير على أداء XRP.

بداية قوية تليها تصحيح
بدأت XRP العام بنبرة متفائلة. خلال الأيام الستة الأولى من يناير، ارتفعت بنسبة تقارب 31%، لتصبح لفترة قصيرة واحدة من أفضل العملات الرقمية ذات القيمة السوقية الكبيرة أداءً. وقد fueled الارتفاع تدفقات رأس المال المتجددة إلى منتجات الاستثمار المنظمة المرتبطة بـ XRP، إلى جانب زيادة الاهتمام من قبل كل من المستثمرين المؤسسيين والأفراد.

بينما تراجعت معظم أسواق الأسهم العالمية يوم الأربعاء، تحركت الأسهم الصينية في الاتجاه المعاكس. ركز المستثمرون على الضغط المتزايد من الحكومة من أجل تحقيق الاكتفاء الذاتي التكنولوجي وتسريع تطوير الذكاء الاصطناعي المحلي، حتى مع بقاء الأسواق العالمية متأثرة بعدم اليقين والتوترات الجيوسياسية.
كانت القوة الأكثر وضوحًا في قطاع التكنولوجيا. ارتفع مؤشر STAR 50، الذي غالبًا ما يُقارن بمؤشر ناسداك، بنحو 4.3%، مُسجلًا أقوى مكسب أسبوعي له. كان مؤشر CSI 300 الأوسع، الذي يتتبع الأسهم الصينية الرئيسية في البر الرئيسي، مرتفعًا بنحو 0.5% بحلول منتصف بعد الظهر.

على الرغم من التكهنات بأن إدارة الولايات المتحدة قد تتراجع عن دعم تشريعات العملات المشفرة، فإن البيت الأبيض يحاول مرة أخرى إحياء المفاوضات حول مشروع قانون رئيسي سيحدد الإطار التنظيمي للأصول الرقمية في الولايات المتحدة. وراء الكواليس، تتكشف صراع متوتر بين صانعي السياسات، والمنظمين، وصناعة العملات المشفرة نفسها.
ت suggest أن المصادر القريبة من الإدارة تشير إلى أن الإحباط بسبب التأخيرات المتكررة قد أصبح قويًا لدرجة أنه تم النظر حتى في الانسحاب الكامل للدعم. ومع ذلك، قرر البيت الأبيض في النهاية الحفاظ على الضغط والدفع من أجل صفقة.

تعرض سوق العملات المشفرة لصدمة عنيفة قضت على 1.08 مليار دولار في يوم واحد وأجبرت أكثر من 182,000 متداول على إغلاق مراكزهم. حدثت هذه الواقعة في 20 يناير 2026، حيث كانت الخسائر تقريبًا كلها على المتداولين الذين كانوا في وضعية توقع زيادة الأسعار في بيتكوين وإيثيريوم.
أرسل السوق رسالة واضحة: التداول بالرافعة المالية أصبح شديد الخطورة في بيئة من تضييق السيولة العالمية.

تصفية تدفق تصفية تدمر المراكز الطويلة
خلال 24 ساعة حتى 20 يناير، تم تصفية 2,729 مركزًا فرديًا. استوعب المتداولون الطويلون تقريبًا كل الأضرار – 1.08 مليار دولار، بينما شكلت المراكز القصيرة 79.67 مليون دولار فقط، مما يبرز مدى انحراف تموضع السوق.

Despite Bitcoin reaching multiple new all-time highs over the past year, global public interest in the flagship cryptocurrency has declined sharply. Data from online searches and social media activity reveal a striking disconnect: while prices surged, public attention faded.
According to Google Trends data and social media analytics, search volume for the term “Bitcoin” fell by approximately 50% year-over-year in 2025, even as Bitcoin climbed to record price levels and briefly exceeded $126,080.

Record Prices, Weak Attention: Bitcoin Loses Media Momentum
Bitcoin rose above $120,000 in 2025 and set a new all-time high at $126,080, yet public engagement failed to return to levels seen in previous market cycles. This paradox highlights a growing separation between price performance and social or media attention.
Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp noted that the number of posts on X mentioning “Bitcoin” declined by 32% between 2024 and 2025, totaling approximately 96 million posts. This reinforces the view that discussion around Bitcoin weakened even as prices rose.

Short-Lived Attention Spikes, No Sustained Momentum
Public interest only saw brief upticks around specific events, including:
🔹 The inauguration of President Donald Trump

🔹 The pardon of Ross Ulbricht related to Silk Road

🔹 The re-establishment of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
However, none of these events resulted in lasting engagement. Traditionally significant milestones such as Bitcoin Pizza Day generated only marginal interaction. Even Bitcoin’s breakout above $120,000 failed to trigger a large-scale return of retail enthusiasm.
In October, when Bitcoin hit its peak of $126,080, social media activity remained muted. Shortly afterward, a sharp market correction occurred: on October 10, over $19 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, likely further dampening market enthusiasm.

Core Bitcoin Advocates Remain Active as Broader Interest Fades
While mainstream discussion declined, prominent Bitcoin figures remained highly engaged. Narrative-tracking tools such as Perception show steady output from long-time Bitcoin supporters despite falling search interest.
🔹 Michael Saylor ranked first with 1,268 Bitcoin-related posts, with nearly 97% carrying a neutral or optimistic tone.

🔹 Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, posted more than 11,450 updates, often focusing on security, code integrity, and quantum-computing risks.

🔹 Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation, published 9,445 Bitcoin-related tweets, with a 23% positivity rate, emphasizing individual freedom, human rights, and financial sovereignty.

Market Sentiment Remains Cautious Despite Price Recovery
Santiment data indicates that social sentiment toward Bitcoin shifted toward a more bearish stance in mid-January 2026, even as prices rose from $90,320 to $97,540.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained largely in the “fear” or “extreme fear” zones throughout most of 2026, signaling persistent investor caution despite the market rebound.
However, CryptoQuant data suggests a possible shift: the 30-day moving average of the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index crossed above the 90-day moving average, indicating improving short-term sentiment despite lingering long-term concerns.

Conclusion
Over the past year, Bitcoin reached historic price highs while simultaneously experiencing a significant decline in public interest. A 50% drop in search activity, weaker social engagement, and cautious sentiment suggest that the current rally is being driven more by institutional capital than by retail hype. Nevertheless, the core Bitcoin community remains highly active—potentially laying the groundwork for the market’s next phase.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and OpenAI have joined forces on an ambitious $50 million initiative aimed at accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence across African healthcare systems. The program, called Horizon1000, is designed to help governments and healthcare institutions deploy AI tools to improve access to care and raise the overall quality of medical services.

Horizon1000: AI as a Response to the Healthcare Workforce Shortage
Horizon1000 will provide African countries with practical expertise on integrating AI into healthcare—ranging from earlier disease detection to clinical decision support. According to the Gates Foundation, the initiative could reduce mortality rates and ease the severe shortage of healthcare workers that affects many countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
The partners stress that these tools will not be imported, one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, they will be developed in close collaboration with local policymakers and healthcare leaders to ensure they meet region-specific needs.

Clear Targets Through 2028
By 2028, Horizon1000 aims to support up to 1,000 primary healthcare clinics and surrounding communities across several African countries, starting with Rwanda. The foundation has already established an AI for Health Center in Kigali to anchor the program locally.
At last year’s Africa HealthTech Summit, Rwanda’s Minister of Health, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, described AI as the third major turning point in the history of medicine, following vaccines (1796) and antibiotics (1928). He highlighted practical successes such as Zipline’s drone deliveries of blood and medical supplies to remote hospitals—now a routine, life-saving service across rural Rwanda.

The Data Behind the Urgency
The Gates Foundation points to a shortfall of nearly 6 million healthcare workers in sub-Saharan Africa—a gap that education systems are unlikely to close in the near term.

According to estimates from the World Health Organization, poor-quality care contributes to 6–8 million deaths every year in low- and middle-income countries. These figures do not include millions living in rural areas with no access to healthcare at all.
Bill Gates noted that in regions facing acute staff shortages and weak infrastructure, AI could be a breakthrough for expanding access to quality care.

Concerns Remain: Accuracy, Bias, and Language
Despite the optimism, experts urge caution. Critics warn that AI systems can misdiagnose patients, especially if symptoms are described inaccurately. Another concern is data bias: many AI models are trained on datasets that underrepresent women and ethnic minorities, potentially leading to incomplete or skewed recommendations.
Language is another major challenge. Africa is home to thousands of languages and dialects, yet most healthcare data and AI models are trained primarily in English. This could disadvantage patients and clinicians who do not use English as a first language.
A study published last year by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that even how a medical question is phrased can influence AI responses. Patients whose messages included spelling errors, informal language, or vague wording were 7–9% more likely to be advised not to seek medical care compared with those using perfectly formatted text.

A Heavy Responsibility for Developers
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasized the responsibility developers carry in shaping these systems:
“Artificial intelligence may be a scientific miracle no matter what, but for it to become a social miracle, we have to find ways to use this incredible technology to genuinely improve people’s lives.”
Horizon1000 therefore represents both a major opportunity and a critical test. If AI solutions can be aligned with local realities, the initiative has the potential to fundamentally transform healthcare delivery across Africa.

Despite rising activity from large investors, Uniswap (UNI) has so far failed to follow whale accumulation with a price recovery. Even though supply is being absorbed, the market structure remains bearish and UNI continues to struggle.
One major whale recently re-entered the market after panic-selling 798,734 UNI for $4.26 million. Just days later, the same entity took advantage of lower prices and bought back 757,684 UNI for $3.66 million, signaling a shift in sentiment—but not yet a trend reversal.

UNI Slides After Failed Breakout Attempt
After attempting a breakout roughly a week ago, Uniswap faced strong resistance and dropped to $5.8. Since then, UNI has been trading inside a descending channel, with the broader crypto market sell-off intensifying the downside pressure.
At the time of writing, UNI was trading at $4.92, marking a daily decline of 1.29% and extending its weekly downtrend. This price weakness prompted investors—particularly whales—to step in and buy the dip.

Whales Take Profits, Then Re-Accumulate
Once UNI reached $5.8, large holders began taking profits. This pushed market momentum briefly to a peak of 6.2, but the increased selling volume quickly weakened bullish momentum and prevented further upside.
The whale momentum index then fell from 6.2 to 5.6, resulting in a negative price impact of at least 4.46%. This decline showed that once whales exited, remaining buyers lacked the strength to push prices higher.

During this phase, on-chain tracking identified a specific whale. As the market turned lower, the investor sold 798,734 UNI for $4.26 million at a price of $5.33 per token. After this sale, UNI continued falling to a local low of $4.5, before staging a modest bounce.
As prices kept declining, the same whale re-entered the market, purchasing 757,684 UNI for $3.66 million at an average price of $4.83 per token. This move suggests confidence in a potential recovery, though not confirmation of a trend reversal.

Demand Strengthens, but Price Still Lags
Alongside the whale’s return, demand metrics shifted sharply. Buyer strength surged to 96, while seller dominance dropped to 3.5. By comparison, sellers dominated the previous day with a reading of 67, highlighting a dramatic swing toward buyers.
Another key signal came from spot market flows. UNI’s spot netflow remained negative for four consecutive days, indicating increased spot demand. At the time of writing, netflow stood at –$290,000, a major improvement from –$3.13 million the previous day.

Is This Enough to Reverse the Trend?
Despite these bullish demand signals, Uniswap has yet to show sustainable upside momentum. The RSI rose from 32 to 35, but remains deep in bearish territory. UNI is also trading below its short-term moving averages (19 MA and 21 MA), confirming continued downside pressure.
If bearish conditions persist, UNI could revisit the $4.5 level. However, if whale demand holds and buyer strength continues to increase, the token could reclaim its moving averages and target key resistance at $5.8.

Final Thoughts
A Uniswap whale repurchased 757,684 UNI for $3.66 million after panic-selling 798,734 UNI for $4.26 million just days earlier. While this behavior points to renewed confidence among large holders, UNI remains under strong bearish pressure, and current demand has not yet been sufficient to pull the token out of its decline.

The Bitcoin market is undergoing a major shift. Control over BTC’s price action is gradually moving away from long-term holders toward a new generation of whales that entered the market only within the past year. Their behavior is increasingly determining whether Bitcoin moves higher or remains under pressure.

BTC Is Changing Hands: New Players Are in Charge
On-chain data suggests that a significant portion of Bitcoin changed owners in 2025. While some transfers may be technical in nature, the growing share of newly created wallets points to an influx of fresh capital. These newer investors, however, lack experience with previous market cycles, which strongly influences how they react to price volatility.
A key indicator is Realized Cap, which tracks BTC’s value based on the price at which coins last moved on-chain. This metric is increasingly concentrated among new whales, signaling that large amounts of Bitcoin were acquired at much higher price levels—often near all-time highs above $120,000.

Veteran Investors Took Profits, Control Shifted
Throughout 2025, long-term holders and legacy whales gradually began taking profits. Their place was taken by new capital that entered the market toward the end of the recent bull run. Wallets aged between 6 and 12 months now control more than 17% of Bitcoin’s marginal supply, making them one of the most influential selling cohorts.
This transition is happening at a sensitive moment. Bitcoin recently dropped as low as $86,000 as market sentiment deteriorated. Newer holders tend to react more impulsively, often locking in gains quickly or cutting losses, weakening the traditional long-term holding narrative.

New Whales Are Under Pressure
The average acquisition price for new whales sits around $98,000, meaning many have only recently reached breakeven. With spot prices trending lower again, a growing portion of this group has slipped back into losses. Estimates suggest that new holders are currently sitting on approximately $6 billion in unrealized losses, a factor that could heavily influence their future behavior.
In contrast, older whales remain largely unaffected. Their average realized price is around $40,000 per BTC, making current price levels far less threatening. Their activity has been sporadic and limited, contributing little to selling pressure.

The Market Is Returning to Distribution Mode
Recent sell-offs show that new whales are increasingly willing to sell into weakness. Rather than acting on long-term conviction, their behavior is focused on risk management and capital preservation. If this trend continues, Bitcoin may remain in a distribution phase until losses are fully absorbed or the market reaches capitulation followed by recovery.
This is reflected in sentiment indicators as well. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 32, firmly back in fear territory. While Bitcoin briefly attempted to stabilize, the broader outlook remains uncertain and heavily dependent on how this new generation of large holders responds to continued volatility.

Tensions between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and xAI founder Elon Musk have once again spilled into the public arena. The two tech leaders exchanged sharp remarks on social platform X, with Musk even urging users to “not let their loved ones use ChatGPT.”
The dispute was sparked by claims circulating on X suggesting that OpenAI’s language model ChatGPT played a role in several tragic user outcomes. Musk labeled the allegations “demonic” and launched a direct attack on OpenAI’s leadership. Altman responded by pointing out that Musk had previously criticized ChatGPT for being overly restrictive, while now accusing it of being too permissive.
Altman emphasized the scale of responsibility OpenAI carries:
“Nearly a billion people use ChatGPT. Some of them may be in extremely fragile mental states. We are doing everything we can to handle these situations safely and respectfully—but these are complex and tragic cases.”

OpenAI Acknowledges Risks, Updates Safety Mechanisms
According to a BBC report from last year, approximately 0.07% of ChatGPT’s weekly active users showed signs of mania, psychosis, or suicidal ideation. Another 0.15% engaged in conversations with explicit indicators of suicidal intent. In response, OpenAI updated ChatGPT to better recognize crisis signals and respond with empathy and safety-focused guidance.
Altman acknowledged that balancing protection for vulnerable users while maintaining the tool’s usefulness is extremely challenging. However, he stressed that the issue cannot be solved through blunt restrictions alone.

An Old Rift Resurfaces: OpenAI vs. xAI
Altman and Musk were once collaborators. They co-founded OpenAI in 2015 as a nonprofit AI research lab focused on public benefit. Musk left OpenAI’s board in 2018 and later became one of its most vocal critics, particularly regarding its partnership with Microsoft and its shift toward a commercial structure.
Musk went on to launch xAI and its AI model Grok, which has recently drawn criticism for controversial behavior. Grok was accused of sexualizing images, a claim xAI disputes. In early January, the company warned that any attempts to generate illegal content would be treated as if the user had uploaded such material themselves.
Altman responded indirectly, suggesting that Musk’s products have serious issues of their own that warrant scrutiny.

Tesla Under Fire: Autopilot and Fatal Accidents
The clash extended beyond AI. Altman also criticized Musk’s automotive company Tesla, citing reports of fatalities linked to the Autopilot system. He noted that his own brief experience using Tesla’s system left him feeling it was far from safe.
A Bloomberg investigation further highlighted cases where Tesla vehicle doors could not be opened following crashes, contributing to fatal outcomes. Tesla has since stated it is considering technical changes, including automatic door unlocking during power loss and redesigning door handles.

A Broader Battle Over the Future of Technology
The public confrontation between Altman and Musk underscores a deep philosophical divide between two former allies. While Altman stresses responsibility, safeguards, and incremental improvements, Musk warns of dangers while facing scrutiny over his own technologies.
The dispute is not merely personal—it reflects a larger debate over how far advanced technologies should go and who bears responsibility for their societal impact.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has once again confirmed that the Trump administration plans to add seized Bitcoin to the nation’s strategic digital asset reserves. According to Bessent, the government remains committed to halting the sale of confiscated cryptocurrencies and instead holding them as long-term strategic assets.
Speaking at a press conference in Davos on Tuesday, Bessent told reporters that the sale of seized Bitcoin remains suspended, in line with current U.S. policy.
“If assets are seized through criminal proceedings, the policy of this administration is to transfer those Bitcoins into our digital asset reserve after restitution is addressed, rather than selling them,” Bessent said in response to questions about the U.S. strategy for a strategic Bitcoin reserve in 2026 and speculation surrounding alleged Bitcoin seizures from Tornado Cash developers in the Southern District of New York.
He added that the first necessary step was to stop selling seized assets, a move the administration has already implemented. Only then, he said, can these assets be formally incorporated into forfeited government reserves.

Questions Remain Around Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet Cases
Bessent declined to comment in detail on the ongoing legal case involving Tornado Cash developers. However, the matter has fueled speculation over whether U.S. authorities are fully complying with Executive Order 14233, which requires confiscated Bitcoin to be transferred into the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
Earlier this month, Bitcoin Magazine reported that the Southern District of New York may have acted inconsistently with the executive order by failing to transfer forfeited Bitcoin into the SBR. Media outlets also questioned whether the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS)—acting on behalf of the Department of Justice—used Coinbase Prime to liquidate more than 57 BTC seized from Samourai Wallet developers Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill.
The USMS later denied those claims, stating that it did not sell the referenced Bitcoin and that it was unaware of how Bitcoin Magazine obtained the information. Similarly, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, said last week that Bitcoin seized in the Samourai Wallet case was not liquidated and will remain part of the SBR.
Despite these assurances, questions persist as to why the Department of Justice signed agreements with Samourai Wallet developers that included provisions related to asset liquidation.

No Immediate Plans for Additional Bitcoin Purchases
Uncertainty also surrounds whether the U.S. government plans to actively acquire additional Bitcoin beyond seized assets. Bessent has repeatedly emphasized that, for now, the administration is focused solely on growing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through confiscated BTC, with no immediate plans to purchase Bitcoin on the open market.
However, he clarified that budget-neutral acquisition strategies are still under consideration. One such proposal is the BITCOIN Act, reintroduced in March 2025 by Senator Cynthia Lummis.
The legislation has made little progress and is unlikely to advance in the near term, as congressional focus has shifted toward broader crypto market structure legislation. Adding to the uncertainty, Senator Lummis is expected to retire from the Senate next year, further reducing the bill’s prospects.

A senior White House adviser on digital assets is urging Congress to move quickly on approving comprehensive crypto market reform legislation, warning that the current opportunity may not last. According to him, delaying action could ultimately lead to much harsher regulations in the future.
Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, shared his views publicly on X as lawmakers continue debating the CLARITY Act, a bill aimed at establishing clearer rules for cryptocurrencies across the United States.

“The Question Is No Longer If, but When”
Witt says the debate in Congress has shifted away from whether a comprehensive crypto market structure bill will pass, and toward when it will finally be approved. Without strong federal regulation, a multi-trillion-dollar industry remains stuck in regulatory uncertainty.
As digital assets become increasingly intertwined with the banking system, capital markets, and institutional investment, the risks of regulatory inaction continue to grow. According to Witt, waiting for the “perfect moment” could prove counterproductive.
He notes that major financial regulations are often passed after crises rather than during periods of stability — a pattern the U.S. should avoid repeating in the crypto sector.

Risk of Regulation Driven by Fear
Witt warned that if Congress fails to act now and a major event occurs — such as another market shock or crypto industry collapse — lawmakers would face immense pressure to respond quickly. That could result in punitive legislation similar to the Dodd-Frank Act, which was passed following the 2008 financial crisis.
Such laws, he argues, are often written under political urgency and fear, with limited debate. This could suppress innovation, harm U.S. competitiveness, and weaken the country’s position in the global digital asset economy.

A Rarely Favorable Political Environment
According to Witt, the current political landscape offers a rare alignment: a crypto-friendly president, control of Congress, and regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC that are perceived as more open to working with the industry.
This alignment creates an ideal environment for crafting balanced, effective, and long-term regulatory clarity. However, Witt cautions that waiting too long risks losing this window of opportunity, especially if political leadership changes.

Industry Concerns Slow Legislative Progress
Despite broad agreement on the need for regulation, progress on the bill has stalled in recent weeks due to disagreements over specific provisions rather than the bill’s core objective.
A major setback came when Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange and a previously strong supporter of the administration, withdrew its backing of the bill. Coinbase raised concerns that certain provisions could negatively impact tokenized equities, DeFi privacy, and how stablecoin issuers provide yield to users.
As a result, a planned Senate Banking Committee hearing was postponed, despite expectations of significant momentum.

Compromise Is Essential, Witt Says
Witt acknowledged the industry’s concerns but emphasized that compromise is necessary to move forward. Passing the bill will require at least 60 votes in the Senate, making bipartisan cooperation unavoidable.
He stressed that lawmakers must avoid letting the pursuit of a perfect solution block progress altogether — and instead act while the political conditions remain favorable.

The price of Pi Network has come under significant downward pressure throughout January. Volatility across the broader crypto market remains elevated, and unfavorable conditions are weighing on Pi Coin more heavily than on many other projects. This is not just a general risk-off move—it is largely driven by structural supply dynamics that short-term improvements in sentiment have failed to offset.

Supply Outpaces Demand as Token Unlocks Continue
The main source of pressure remains the ongoing daily release of new tokens. More than 4.6 million PI enter circulation each day, systematically reducing scarcity and limiting upside potential. As a result, even brief rebounds tend to run quickly into supply, preventing the price from holding higher levels.
The situation is further complicated by an upcoming larger unlock of roughly 55.8 million PI toward the end of the month. Markets are already pricing this in, dampening buyers’ willingness to step in aggressively. Investors recognize that supply growth is pre-programmed and independent of sentiment or near-term fundamentals.
Recent improvements in payment features and ecosystem utility have yet to translate into a meaningful increase in demand. For now, growing use cases have not been sufficient to absorb the steady flow of newly unlocked tokens.

Large Exchange Balances Amplify Selling Pressure
Another negative factor is the sizeable PI balances held on centralized exchanges, totaling approximately 419 million tokens. These reserves represent readily available supply that can quickly hit the market, acting as a persistent cap on price advances.
Whenever short-term demand appears, part of this exchange-held supply tends to be sold, stalling recovery attempts. The result is a market where supply growth continues to outpace organic demand, leaving the price structure skewed toward distribution.

Technical Picture: Structure Breaks Down as Bears Take Control
From a technical standpoint, conditions deteriorated further after Pi Coin fell below the key $0.20 level, which flipped from support into resistance. This breakdown ended the prior consolidation phase and shifted the market into a continuation of the downtrend.
While a temporary floor has formed near $0.18, buying interest remains defensive rather than proactive. Rallies are shallow and quickly met with renewed selling pressure.
Technical indicators reinforce this bearish outlook:
Price is trading below the parabolic SAR around $0.208The negative directional index significantly outweighs the positiveAn ADX near 26 suggests the trend still has strength and is not yet exhausted
If momentum fails to improve, the next area of market focus lies around $0.15, where a potential stabilization attempt could emerge.

Summary: January as a Stress Test for Pi Network
Pi Network appears to be experiencing one of its most challenging months in recent history. The combination of regular token unlocks, large exchange balances, and a weakened technical structure makes sustained upside difficult.
Until there is clear absorption of supply and a reclaim of prior key levels, the longer-term price outlook remains strained and fragile. January is shaping up as a crucial stress test for the project—and so far, Pi Network is struggling to pass it.

Solana Mobile has officially launched its native SKR token, designed to support and expand the mobile ecosystem built around the Seeker smartphone. The token has been distributed via an airdrop on the Solana network, targeting eligible Seeker device users and selected app developers based on their activity.
Users have 90 days to claim their tokens. Any SKR not claimed within this period will be returned to the airdrop pool.

SKR Airdrop Is Live: Who’s Eligible and How to Claim
According to Solana Mobile’s official announcement, the airdrop went live on January 20 at 9:00 PM ET. Eligible Seeker users and qualifying developers can claim SKR directly through the built-in wallet on their device.
To complete the claim, users must hold at least 0.01 SOL in their wallet to cover network fees. The claim window closes on April 20, after which all unclaimed tokens will be automatically reallocated.
In addition to Seeker users, the airdrop also includes developers who launched high-quality apps during the first season of the Seeker dApp Store. The initiative aims to reward creators who help grow the mobile ecosystem and improve the user experience.

SKR Supply and Allocation
SKR has a fixed maximum supply of 10 billion tokens, with an allocation designed to support long-term ecosystem growth:
30% reserved for airdrops and early unlocks25% allocated to ecosystem growth and partnerships10% set aside for liquidity and launch support10% directed to the community treasury to fund future ideas and proposalsThe remaining tokens are split between Solana Mobile (15%) and Solana Labs (10%)
Staking, Governance, and the Inflation Model
SKR plays a central role in staking and governance. Holders can stake their tokens via the Seed Vault Wallet and earn up to 25.4% annually by supporting governance decisions, app management, and device oversight.
Users can unstake at any time, with a 48-hour cooldown before tokens are returned to their wallet.
The token’s inflation model is designed to balance early incentives with long-term sustainability. Inflation starts at 10% in the first year and gradually declines to 2%, supporting stable, long-term growth of the Seeker ecosystem.
Overall, SKR represents a core building block of Solana Mobile’s strategy—aligning users, developers, and governance under a clear economic framework to drive the next phase of mobile ecosystem expansion.

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has warned that uncertainty is creeping back into the global economy, driven by fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, now increasingly aimed at Europe. Speaking to CNN on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Lagarde said rising trade tensions are undermining trust between the United States and the European Union.
According to Lagarde, companies on both sides of the Atlantic are not only concerned about the potential size of new tariffs, but above all about the lack of clarity over what may come next. That unpredictability, she stressed, is more damaging to the economy than the tariffs themselves.

ECB: Uncertainty Weighs on Investment and Growth
Lagarde emphasized that the core issue is not just the risk of new trade barriers, but the fact that businesses, investors, and markets are operating without a clear outlook. In such an environment, companies tend to delay investment plans, hiring decisions, and long-term strategies—developments that could ultimately slow economic growth.
Trade, she noted, acts as a bridge between Europe and the United States. European firms have a strong presence in the U.S., while American companies are deeply embedded in European markets. Sudden or unpredictable tariff changes disrupt firms that rely on stable trade rules and increase economic risk.
For the ECB, this is particularly concerning as reduced corporate spending and investment could dampen the momentum of the European economy at a sensitive time.

Inflation and Monetary Policy Risks
Trade uncertainty may also affect inflation dynamics. If tariffs push up the cost of imported goods, price pressures could re-emerge, complicating the ECB’s efforts to maintain price stability—especially given Europe’s reliance on imports from the U.S.
Interest rates in the euro area have been on hold since June, and neither investors nor economists currently expect imminent changes. However, François Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France, said any new tariffs would need to be closely assessed, even if their immediate impact on prices is expected to be relatively muted.
Still, a tougher U.S. stance toward Europe could challenge the ECB’s relatively benign outlook for inflation and economic activity in the coming years. While the eurozone has shown resilience to rising protectionism so far, officials continue to stress that risks remain elevated.

Call to Protect Transatlantic Trade Ties
Lagarde underscored that the U.S. and Europe share deep and longstanding economic ties, built on trade, mutual investment, and job creation. Putting these relationships at risk, she said, does not make sense from either an economic or policy perspective.
She urged leaders on both sides of the Atlantic to carefully weigh the consequences of any trade actions before moving forward, warning that escalation could prove costly.
Lagarde also remarked that Europe has been through similar trade disputes before. When she said this was a “movie we’ve already seen,” she was referring to past trade conflicts with the U.S. that generated significant uncertainty but few lasting benefits. In her view, those experiences should serve as a reminder of the importance of avoiding a repeat of the same mistakes.
