🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

What Will the Fed’s Interest Rate Decisions Be This Year? ‘Even If They Keep Rates Unchanged in January…’

What can we expect from the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions this year, under pressure from US President Donald Trump? Here are the expert opinions.

Global banks have significantly divergent expectations regarding the Fed’s interest rate path. Brian Martin, Head of G3 Economic Research at ANZ Bank, argues that the pause in interest rate cuts will not last long, while J.P. Morgan paints a more cautious picture.

According to ANZ, even if the Fed keeps rates unchanged at its January meeting, it could soon return to a rate-cutting cycle. Martin predicts that the Federal Open Market Committee could lower the federal funds target range to 3.00%–3.25% by mid-year with two 25 basis point cuts in March and June. This expectation is based on the view that US inflation will gradually moderate by 2026, with the diminishing impact of tariffs on prices, a slowdown in the pace of wage growth, and a cooling in housing inflation.

In contrast, J.P. Morgan’s chief US economist, Michael Feroli, believes the Fed has completed its rate cuts and will keep policy stable throughout 2026. In a note to clients, Feroli stated, “We expect the Fed to maintain interest rates throughout 2026, with the next move likely to be a rate hike in 2027.”

Feroli’s forecast comes after interest rate cuts in the fall and winter of 2025, which brought mortgage rates to their lowest levels in over a year.

🇺🇸 The FED is preparing to inject an additional $20 BILLION into the economy.

More liquidity.
Easier financial conditions.
Higher risk appetite.
This is exactly the fuel markets are looking for.

📈 Bullish for equities.
📈 Even more bullish for crypto.

The FED preparing to inject an additional $20 billion means more liquidity and a higher risk appetite, which serves as the exact fuel the crypto market has been looking for. Personally, I believe easier financial conditions will make high-yield assets the primary destination for investors in the coming period. Do you think this liquidity is enough to sustain Bitcoin's bullish momentum, or do we need even larger interventions?

This kind of monetary policy action is what many traders have been waiting for. More liquidity in the system historically correlates with better performance in growth assets and alternative investments.

Ripple (XRP) Announces Significant Step Towards Entering the European Market.

Following its move regarding the UK last week, Ripple (XRP) has released another announcement this week concerning the European Union market.

Ripple (XRP) announced a significant step in its expansion strategy within the European Union. The company stated that it has received preliminary approval from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), Luxembourg’s financial regulatory body, for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license.

Ripple stated that this development is a critical milestone in scaling its Ripple Payments product across the EU. With this licensing process, the company aims to expand its institutional-level digital asset infrastructure in Europe.

The company stated that it has obtained more than 75 licenses and registrations to date, processed a total transaction volume exceeding $95 billion, and has access to approximately 90% of the daily global foreign exchange (FX) markets.

The statement also noted that the European Union has taken a leading role in creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets, and that Ripple supports financial institutions in this process, facilitating their transition from pilot programs to commercial scale. The company stated that it aims to unlock trillions of dollars of idle capital by bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance.

The price of XRP has increased by 1.62% in the last 24 hours.

Would BTC dip to grab liquidity before the next leg up?

Liquidity clusters at $92.5k–$93.3k are just resting orders waiting to be swept. The question for any trader is: does your system have the conviction to fade the initial dip if it triggers those stops, or are you designed to exit and re-enter? Liquidity hunts are profitable only if you can recognize them in real time.

Memecoin Dominance is back around all-time lows.

the last time I flagged this was on December 23, when I highlighted how similar lows in 2024 triggered a 440–2,500% rally in $BONK , $FLOKI, $WIF, and $PEPE

we experienced an early-January memecoin melt-up a week later: $USELESS, $PEPE, $BONK , and FARTCOIN pumped 50–120% in a few days, and the entire sector added over $10 billion to its market cap

$BTC is now starting to break out from a key level, majors are beginning to look attractive for the first time in months, and sentiment in crypto is starting to pick up again

however, memecoin dominance is once again around the levels seen on December 23, as well as in February 2024—just before the entire sector experienced a melt-up and several major memecoins went on parabolic 1,000%+ rallies

this setup is pointing to an imminent, sector-wide melt-up in memecoins

i’m positioned in the following memecoins because I expect them to aggressively outperform everything else:

- $USELESS

- $BONK

- $FLOKI
- $FARTCOIN

what other memecoins would you add to the list?

The Date for FTX’s $2.2 Billion Distribution Has Been Set – It Could Impact the Cryptocurrency Market.

The date has been set for the $2.2 billion payment that the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX will distribute to its creditors.

The bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has announced a new payment schedule for its creditors. According to information shared by Sunil, who is known for posting on behalf of FTX creditors, the company is preparing to make a new distribution of approximately $2.2 billion.

According to the shared schedule, the registration date for distribution is set as February 14, 2026. Payments are planned to be delivered to creditors on March 31, 2026. This distribution will be the newest payment installment made so far in the bankruptcy process.

Looking back at previous payments, FTX first distributed approximately $454 million on February 18th for claims under $50,000. This was followed by a comprehensive payment of $5 billion on May 30th, covering both small and large-scale claims. The third distribution took place on September 30th, with a total of $1.6 billion allocated to both claim groups.

On the other hand, a striking post was made from the long-dormant X account belonging to FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. In a 14-page document published by Bankman-Fried, it was claimed that FTX “never went bankrupt” and could have had a portfolio worth $136 billion today if legal proceedings hadn’t been initiated. However, lawyers and former creditors stated that this defense is a repetition of arguments already rejected by the courts in 2023 and 2024. They also pointed out that judicial investigations have revealed billions of dollars missing from customer funds.

Crypto market structure bill could sharply expand U.S. financial surveillance.

Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, said the scope of the proposed changes could mark the largest expansion of financial oversight in 25 years.

The bill would grant the U.S. Treasury authority to:

suspend crypto transactions without a court order.

expand “special measures” oversight of digital assets.

regulate DeFi frontends as part of the financial infrastructure.

Despite the fact that meme coins are essentially gambling, there is still a significant number of people who make incredible gains from them.

Of course, we don’t know how much they may have lost before, because gambling is gambling. However, the chances are still there, and the user base of such platforms is not decreasing.

We usually say DYOR, but it seems that DYOR no longer matters in gambling.

Pakistan Partners with US President Donald Trump’s Crypto Initiative World Liberty!

Pakistan is reportedly preparing to partner with World Liberty Financial on a dollar-pegged stable cryptocurrency project.

Pakistan is reportedly preparing to partner with World Liberty Financial on a dollar-pegged stable cryptocurrency project. According to a source familiar with the matter, Pakistan has signed an agreement with a company linked to World Liberty Financial, the main crypto venture of US President Donald Trump’s family, to evaluate World Liberty’s stable cryptocurrency for use in cross-border payments.

This agreement marks one of the first collaborations announced between a sovereign state and World Liberty Financial, a crypto-based financial platform founded in September 2024. It is also noteworthy that it comes at a time when relations between Pakistan and the US are gaining renewed momentum.

Under the agreement, World Liberty Financial plans to work with the Reserve Bank of Pakistan to integrate the USD1 dollar-pegged stable cryptocurrency into a regulated digital payment infrastructure. This will allow the token to be used with Pakistan’s own digital currency and payment systems. The source noted that details regarding the agreement with SC Financial Technologies, a company affiliated with World Liberty, have not yet been released.

Pakistan is expected to officially announce the agreement during World Liberty CEO Zach Witkoff’s visit to Islamabad. The Pakistani Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have yet to make an official statement on the matter.

The rapid global growth of dollar-pegged stable cryptocurrencies in recent years has prompted many countries to re-evaluate the role of these assets in their payment systems. The introduction of regulations supporting stable cryptocurrencies in the US during the Trump administration also gave impetus to the sector.
