Markets Shrug Off Fed’s Warnings 🚀

So here’s the deal: The Fed threw out some inflation warnings in their December minutes, but the markets? Totally unbothered. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones climbed, while Bitcoin slipped a bit to $92,000 after hitting $102,000. Still, it’s up 3% for 2025. Fed hints at rate cuts if the economy stays chill, and the crypto scene? Still optimistic but volatile. With the U.S. jobs report dropping soon, buckle up for the next market wave.

Crypto Market Takes a Tumble

Ouch! January 7 wasn’t kind to the crypto market. Bitcoin dropped 4% to $97K after briefly flexing above $100K. Ethereum? Down 8%. Liquidations hit $388M as traders panicked over rising bond yields and job data signaling possible Fed rate hikes. It’s a rough patch for risk assets, but hey, volatility’s part of the crypto game, right?

U.S. Bitcoin Reserves Hit All-Time High

America’s stacking sats like never before! U.S. entities now hold 65% more Bitcoin than offshore players, with MicroStrategy leading at a mind-blowing 444,262 BTC (worth $41.4B). Oh, and the U.S. government is set to liquidate 69,370 BTC tied to Silk Road, worth $6.5B. Despite a slight dip to $92,914, Bitcoin remains the crown jewel of crypto.

AI Tokens Are Heating Up 🔥

The whales are on the move! AI agent tokens like AI16Z and SWARMS are stealing the spotlight. AI16Z’s market cap is climbing, while SWARMS hit $0.60, thanks to a Binance launch. With the AI token market now valued at $17.25B, the buzz feels like the 2021 Web3 and NFT boom all over again.

Pump.fun Moves $20M in SOL

Uh-oh, something’s up with Pump.fun. They just shifted $20M in SOL to Kraken, continuing their streak of deposits totaling over $340M. Rumors of a sell-off are swirling, especially with recent UK regulatory issues. Still, Pump.fun remains a Solana powerhouse, responsible for 70% of token launches. Let’s keep an eye on this one.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Wins 💰

MicroStrategy bagged a $14B profit on Bitcoin holdings in 2024, with a killer 74.3% yield. They scooped up 258,320 BTC last year alone, now sitting on a whopping 447,470 BTC. MSTR stock crushed 2024 with a 350% surge but hit a snag in 2025, dropping 10% after a market dip. Love them or hate them, they’re still Bitcoin’s loudest cheerleader.

Trump’s Bitcoin NFTs Are Here

Donald Trump just dropped his first Ordinals NFT collection, “Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards,” on the Bitcoin blockchain. These rare “Alpha sats” collectibles are claimable on Magic Eden until January 31, with prices ranging from 0.25 BTC to 9.8 BTC. Say what you will about the guy, but he sure knows how to keep the NFT scene buzzing.
