BlockBeats message, January 19, analysts say that due to U.S. President Trump considering tariffs on European countries regarding Greenland, the uncertainty of U.S. policy has intensified, and the dollar is facing new downward pressure. Farm Credit analyst David Forrest stated: Trump's tariff threats have reignited the sentiment of 'sell America'. The market will also pay attention to the 'TACO deal' (Trump's last-minute retreat), as Trump may use the tariff threats as a negotiating strategy. This will provide some support for the dollar.

In 2026, with the intensification of geopolitical risks during President Trump's term, the euro will become one of the biggest losers. Tariffs may exacerbate the cyclical disadvantages of the Eurozone economy and further weaken the pressure Europe has applied on Russia regarding the Ukraine issue. (Jinshi)

Original title: (Outsmarting the X platform: Why is your traffic so strange)

Original author: Hongyu, encryption researcher

If you are a Twitter blogger, you have been experiencing abnormal phenomena for nearly six months.

Specifically, traffic and interaction data suddenly plummeted at a certain time, and the trending content's tone is very strange—deep analysis with dozens of views and zero interactions, while a borderline controversial statement gains a lot of followers.

The main content of this article is about why this phenomenon occurs. In other words, how the brilliant design of the X platform has ruined the vertical users you have painstakingly accumulated?

BlockBeats message, January 19, WalletConnect CEO Jess Houlgrave announced a partnership with Ingenico to launch stablecoin payment functionality at POS terminals. The initial phase will enable WalletConnect Pay for acquirers and payment service providers on Ingenico terminals starting in January 2026.

Bypassing traditional banks and credit card networks through "on-chain direct payment".

This is seen by some as a significant breakthrough for on-chain assets moving into offline consumption scenarios, but the actual process still heavily relies on users actively informing cashiers and completing multiple manual steps.

According to BlockBeats, on January 19th, on-chain data analyst Murphy stated that "a significant change has occurred in BTC's funding structure: compared to January 12th, the long gamma at $88,000 has disappeared, turning into short gamma; while $90,000 still maintains long gamma, GEX (options gamma exposure) has decreased from $1.2 billion to $590 million, almost halved. This means that the support force generated by the funding structure between $88,000 and $90,000 has weakened significantly. Conversely, GEX at $92,000 has reached a high of $1.4 billion, which will amplify BTC's volatility."
