๐Ÿš€ Trump's Bitcoin Reserve: A Game-Changer for Crypto?

๐Ÿ’ฌ This week, Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, discussed President-elect Donald Trumpโ€™s potential plan to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve through an executive order on his first day in office. The idea of a U.S. bitcoin reserve has gained traction recently, especially with new legislation and support from politicians like Senator Cynthia Lummis. Her Bitcoin Act of 2024 proposes that the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve acquire 200,000 bitcoins annually for five years, totaling one million bitcoinsโ€”about 5% of the world's supply.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ On Timcast, hosted by Tim Pool, Mallers revealed that Trump is considering an executive order for a bitcoin reserve. Pool was surprised, asking,
Sorry. You said a day one executive order for a bitcoin reserve for the United States?

Mallers confirmed, explaining that there are discussions around the dollar stabilization act which could allow the president to use an executive order to purchase bitcoin.

๐Ÿ’ก Mallers noted that while it might not reach one million coins, it would still represent a significant position and send a strong message from the United States. The validity of Mallers' claims remains uncertain. However, Trump recently hinted at a major move in crypto during a visit to the New York Stock Exchange, stating,
Weโ€™re gonna do something great with crypto

and when asked about a potential bitcoin reserve, he replied,
Yes, I think so


๐ŸŒ The concept of a strategic bitcoin reserve could revolutionize the crypto landscape. With Trump's interest and support from lawmakers like Lummis, the U.S. could enter a new era where digital assets are integrated into national policy, potentially transforming how currencies are managed. If implemented, this move could shift global perceptions of cryptocurrencies, promoting bitcoin as a key element of economic strategy rather than just a speculative investment.

๐ŸŸข XRP Price Analysis: Navigating Bullish Trends and Short-Term Pullbacks

๐Ÿ“ˆ XRP is currently trading at $2.62 with a market cap of $147 billion and a trading volume of $18.35 billion. The intraday price range has been between $2.37 and $2.71. The 1-hour chart reveals a recent spike to $2.72 followed by a dip, indicating active trading. Support levels are around $2.55 to $2.60 while resistance is noted at $2.70 to $2.72. Increased volume during the downturn suggests profit-taking and some selling pressure. Traders may consider buying near the $2.55 support if it holds, targeting recent highs.

๐Ÿ” Looking at the 4-hour chart, there is a clear bullish move to $2.72 before a pullback. Support is found between $2.45 and $2.50 with resistance at $2.70 to $2.72. Despite the retreat, the overall trend remains upward, although the recent sell-off indicates a potential cooling period. If prices stabilize near $2.50, further upward movement could occur, but traders might start taking profits near resistance levels.

๐Ÿ“Š The daily chart shows a consistent upward trend with XRP reaching a high of $2.91 before entering a consolidation phase. Support is between $2.40 and $2.50 while resistance is at $2.90 to $2.91. Despite recent pullbacks for profit-taking, the previous weeks' green candles suggest a long-term bullish outlook. A dip towards $2.50 could present a good re-entry point for long-term traders, with a break above $2.91 potentially leading to further gains.

โš–๏ธ Oscillator indicators for XRP are mixed today. The relative strength index (RSI), Stochastic, commodity channel index (CCI), and average directional index (ADX) are all neutral. Momentum indicates some selling pressure, while the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) leans bearish. However, the awesome oscillator shows no clear short-term momentum direction.

๐Ÿ“‰ Examining XRPโ€™s moving averages (MAs), a bullish trend is evident with all exponential moving averages (EMAs) and simple moving averages (SMAs) from 10 to 200 periods indicating a positive alignment. This consistent bullish setup across moving averages supports a favorable long-term trend despite short-term fluctuations.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Bull Verdict: XRP's sustained support at $2.50 and the alignment of all moving averages suggest strong bullish momentum. If buyers can reclaim $2.70 and surpass $2.91 resistance, a move towards the $3 mark or higher could be on the horizon, reinforcing the long-term uptrend.

๐Ÿป Bear Verdict: While XRP has shown strong historical gains, the recent pullback from $2.72 and neutral oscillator readings indicate a potential decrease in short-term momentum. If support at $2.50 fails, prices could drop further, possibly retesting the $2.40 range or lower, signaling a deeper correction.

WBTC's Resilience Amid Controversy

๐Ÿ” In the face of swirling controversies, WBTC stands resilient, buoyed by a steadfast community. A striking testament to this is the involvement of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), linked to Donald Trump, which exchanged an impressive $10 million worth of Coinbase's cbBTC for WBTC. This transaction highlights WBTC's intrinsic value, undeterred by the ongoing debates that surround it.

๐Ÿ” In the proceedings of the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) hearing, Coinbase faltered, failing to present substantive justifications for delisting WBTC. They offered no evidence of due diligence dilemmas or custody concernsโ€”issues conspicuously absent in their own cbBTC product. Instead, Coinbase resorted to an ad hominem attack, insinuating that โ€œJustin Sun was involved,โ€ relying solely on unverified media claims.

๐Ÿ” The judge's remarks concerning the TRO underscored the rarity of such orders in the American judicial framework, requiring compelling evidence of irreparable harm. While she did not endorse Coinbase's actions as acceptable or anti-competitive, she did suggest that BiT Global might pursue another order with enhanced proof of damages.

๐Ÿ” Additionally, doubts loom over Coinbase's credibility. A member of their listing team, recently convicted of insider trading, serves a two-year sentence, raising concerns about their internal standards. The Coinbase CEO's accusations against the U.S. Department of Justice and frequent critiques of the SEC further prompt a pivotal question: Did they truly believe they could dissociate from those the SEC pursued, or was this merely a convenient defense?

๐Ÿค UAE's Interior Ministry Partners with FSRA to Combat Virtual Asset Crimes

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The United Arab Emirates (UAE)โ€™s Interior Ministry has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to bolster efforts against crimes related to virtual assets. This agreement emphasizes information sharing and the enhancement of risk mitigation frameworks.

๐Ÿ“ˆ A report highlights that this collaboration supports the UAEโ€™s strategy to safeguard its financial system from emerging threats in the digital asset sector. It showcases the regulatorโ€™s commitment to addressing risks associated with emerging technologies.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Emmanuel Givanakis, CEO of the FSRA, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating,
Financial crime is constantly evolving, and it is crucial that regulators stay ahead of potential threats.

He reiterated the FSRA's focus on collaborating with UAE authorities to prevent financial crime, particularly in the realm of virtual assets.

๐ŸŒ Givanakis also mentioned that the FSRA aims not only to protect the financial ecosystem but also to ensure that the ADGM adheres to international best practices and federal laws. Raising awareness among users about financial crime risks is also a key objective.

๐Ÿ” According to the Middle East Economy report, the agreement seeks to strengthen the security and effectiveness of the UAEโ€™s financial system through knowledge sharing, joint training programs, and enhanced investigative capabilities.

๐Ÿ“‰ Bitcoin's Current Market Analysis: A Cautious Outlook

โžก๏ธ Bitcoin is currently priced at $95,492 with a market capitalization of $1.89 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of $42 billion. Today's price fluctuations have ranged between $95,134 and $99,886.

โ™พ The 1-hour chart reveals a significant drop from $99,881 to $95,111, indicating strong selling pressure. While support is holding at $95,000, resistance is seen between $97,000 and $98,000. Oscillators like the relative strength index (RSI) at 46 and the Stochastic oscillator %K at 35 suggest a cautious market, with the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) showing a bearish signal at 586.

โšก๏ธ On the 4-hour chart, a bearish engulfing pattern appears after reaching $99,881, signaling a short-term downward trend. Critical support is at $95,000, with a potential drop to $93,000 if this level fails. For a bullish reversal, prices need to break through the $98,000 to $99,000 resistance. Indicators like the awesome oscillator and momentum suggest further downside potential.

๐Ÿ’ซ The daily chart presents a bearish outlook, with Bitcoin retreating from its all-time high of $108,364 earlier this month. Support zones are crucial at $95,000 and $92,000, while $100,000 serves as a significant psychological barrier. Although the exponential moving averages (EMA) for 50- and 100-periods are optimistic, shorter ones remain bearish.

๐Ÿ”ด Oscillator readings indicate a neutral to bearish outlook. Traders should monitor for a push above $97,000 or a solid bounce from $95,000 for short-term opportunities, while long positions require additional confirmation across longer time frames.

โ—๏ธ The shorter-term moving averages continue to indicate selling pressure, but longer-term moving averages suggest that the broader trend may still favor accumulation if key support levels hold.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Bull Verdict: Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $97,000 to $98,000 resistance zone and show sustained upward momentum to shift sentiment bullish. A confirmed breakout above $100,000 could reestablish a strong uptrend.

๐Ÿ“‰ Bear Verdict: The bearish outlook prevails in the short to medium term, with $95,000 as the key level to watch. A break below this support could accelerate selling towards $93,000 and potentially $92,000. Current technical signals imply caution for buyers, with further downside likely unless significant bullish momentum reemerges.

๐ŸŒ El Salvador's Gold Reserves: A Potential Bitcoin Game Changer

๐Ÿ’ฐ Last week, El Salvador's recent discovery of vast gold reserves sparked discussions about the country's potential economic recovery and its cryptocurrency strategy. President Bukele revealed that these underground resources could provide the nation with a staggering $3 trillion to invest in development and expand its existing bitcoin holdings.

El Salvador could sell convertible shares, a plan following Michael Saylorโ€™s playbook, to finance large-scale bitcoin purchases

said Max Keiser, a cryptocurrency advisor to the Bukele administration. He emphasized that bitcoin is now a better asset than gold for long-term investment.

๐Ÿ”„ If El Salvador proceeds with this strategy, it could revolutionize the global gold market by diminishing gold's value while enhancing bitcoin's position as a reserve asset. This aligns with Michael Saylor's recent recommendation for the U.S. to use its gold reserves to acquire 25% of total bitcoin issuance, thereby weakening adversarial nations' holdings.

โš–๏ธ However, there are challenges to accessing these gold reserves. Metal mining is currently illegal in El Salvador, and environmental groups are opposing any changes to this law. Despite this, Bukele possesses the political influence to potentially overturn these restrictions and extract the gold responsibly.

๐Ÿš€ Should El Salvador successfully tap into its gold reserves, it faces a crucial decision: to invest a portion of these funds in bitcoin and position itself as one of the world's largest bitcoin holders, all while disrupting the global gold market in a single transaction.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Bitcoin Gold's Surprising Surge Amid Imminent Delisting

๐Ÿš€ Recently, Bitcoin Gold (BTG), a Bitcoin fork, has made headlines with a remarkable 140.31% increase in just 24 hours. This surge saw the cryptocurrency trading between a low of $9.30 and a high of $23.27 on Saturday.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท The recent excitement around BTG is largely driven by Upbit, a South Korean exchange. BTG was created on October 24, 2017, with the aim of promoting decentralization through GPU mining. However, the network has faced challenges, including multiple 51% attacks in 2018 and 2020, which have tarnished its reputation.

๐Ÿ“Š This weekend's price spike coincides with Upbit's announcement to delist BTG on January 23. Despite this impending delisting, BTG has seen significant trading activity on Upbit, where it is priced at $24.75 compared to a global average of $19.01. On Bithumb, another exchange, BTG trades at $18.90 without a premium but remains the most traded coin there. Notably, South Korea accounts for the majority of BTG's trading volume, with Upbit reporting $1.31 billion in transactions over the past day.

๐Ÿ“‰ While BTG's recent surge highlights a brief moment of speculation in South Korea, it also underscores its diminishing relevance in the broader cryptocurrency landscape. The stark contrast between its sudden gains and the upcoming delisting from Upbit suggests a shift in BTG's narrative from innovation to obsolescence. Despite this temporary spike, BTG appears to be more of a relic from a previous era of cryptocurrency rather than a viable player in today's market.

๐Ÿš€ Hong Kong's Initiative to Boost Blockchain in Banking

๐Ÿฆ The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has launched the โ€œSupervisory Incubator for Distributed Ledger Technologyโ€ (DLT) to facilitate the safe adoption of blockchain solutions by banks. Announced on January 8, this initiative aims to create a supportive environment for innovation in the banking sector.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Arthur Yuen, HKMAโ€™s Deputy Chief Executive, emphasized the importance of providing a nurturing space for innovation to flourish as the banking industry evolves. He described the program as crucial for developing safe, efficient, and impactful DLT-based banking systems.

๐Ÿ” The incubator consists of two main components. The first offers direct support to individual banks, including access to a central bank advisory team for guiding live trials. These trials focus on testing risk management systems before launching DLT-driven services, initially concentrating on tokenized deposits.

๐Ÿ”ต The second component promotes industry-wide collaboration by sharing best practices, conducting research, and providing supervisory guidance to streamline blockchain integration across the banking sector.

โžก๏ธ This announcement was made during the HKMAโ€™s FiNETech4 event, which was attended by over 300 financial professionals. Carmen Chu, HKMA Executive Director, highlighted the potential for more sophisticated management of tokenized assets as DLT evolves. She mentioned possibilities like real-time ledger updates and autonomous bookkeeping that could enable tailored financial products through smart contracts.

๐ŸŒ This initiative aligns with Hong Kong's broader efforts to advance financial technology. In December, the securities regulator approved licenses for four more virtual asset trading platforms, increasing the total to seven. Legislative discussions have also considered integrating Bitcoin into the national reserve to enhance financial stability under the โ€œone country, two systemsโ€ framework.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Recently, Hong Kong legislator Wu Jiexhuang urged authorities to explore including Bitcoin in ETFs as a preliminary step towards increasing Bitcoin holdings. He argued that this move could attract talent and investment, strengthen financial stability, and reduce market disruptions from Bitcoinโ€™s wider adoption.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Crypto ATMs Near Record Numbers After Turbulent Times

๐Ÿ“‰ The global count of crypto-automated teller machines (ATMs) is approaching its previous high of 39,958 from December 1, 2022, following a tumultuous 2023 and a recovery in 2024. The number of crypto ATMs experienced significant fluctuations after the Terra stablecoin crisis and the FTX collapse in November 2022. According to coinatmradar, the total dropped by 6,873 to a low of 33,085 by July 1, 2023, but has since rebounded.

๐Ÿ“Š As of January 11, 2025, there are 38,866 crypto ATMs operational worldwide, with 283 new installations this year and a notable increase of 404 in November. Bitcoin Depot leads as the largest operator with 8,486 ATMs, followed by Coinflip with 5,289 and Athena Bitcoin managing 3,797.

๐ŸŒ The United States dominates the crypto ATM landscape, hosting 81.3% of all machines. Europe accounts for 4.3%, Oceania 4%, and Australia has 3.5%. Most ATMs support bitcoin (BTC) (38,855 machines), with litecoin (LTC) available on 54.2%, ethereum (ETH) on 53.3%, and dogecoin (DOGE) on 27.7%.

๐Ÿ”— The growth of crypto ATMs illustrates the innovation and resilience within the cryptocurrency sector. Despite market fluctuations, these machines provide essential access to decentralized financial (DeFi) tools, bridging the gap between digital currencies and physical transactions.

๐Ÿ”— Verifying Total Value Locked in Bitcoin DeFi: A New Solution

๐ŸŒŸ Two startups are collaborating to address the need for verifying total value locked (TVL) claims in Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. With over $30 billion in TVL, Bitcoin DeFi is gaining traction, but inflated TVL figures from dubious projects pose a risk to the sector.

๐Ÿ“Š TVL is a crucial metric in DeFi as it indicates a token's liquidity and helps investors assess a project's popularity and reliability. However, measuring Bitcoin-based TVL is more complex due to Bitcoin's unspent transaction output (UTXO) model. This model allows projects to manipulate TVL figures, making it essential to find a reliable verification method.

โ€œYou can make as many claims on the UTXO model as you want,โ€

Professor Yu Feng stated.
โ€œBut at the end of the day, we only calculate the transaction that happens on the Bitcoin [blockchain] because thatโ€™s the number that nobody can alter,โ€

he added.

๐Ÿ” Bitcoin DeFi projects often advertise funds promised by liquidity providers in the form of Bitcoin UTXOs. However, it remains unclear whether these funds are actually provided to the projects. Feng emphasizes that only funds demonstrably controlled by the project should count towards TVL.

๐Ÿ›  To tackle this issue, Feng and former UCSB professor Shumo Chu have developed a tool that utilizes zk-proofs and BitVM to accurately confirm TVL.
The beauty of zk is that itโ€™s programmable,โ€

Chu explained.
โ€œWe can implement these protocols relatively easily using our technology so that people cannot cheat.โ€


๐Ÿ”’ Their proof-of-TVL solution is akin to the proof-of-reserves systems used by exchanges like Binance after the FTX collapse. It aims to prevent situations where investors withdraw their underlying Bitcoin only to find that a project has minted more tokens than it possesses.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Additionally, proof-of-TVL demonstrates how much Bitcoin is locked and slashable. The Bitcoin committed to a project is used for lending and DeFi purposes on proof-of-stake platforms that can confiscate funds from bad actors. Chu's solution verifies whether the platform has control over these assets.

๐Ÿ”— The proof-of-TVL system is still in testing but will be integrated into Nubitโ€™s upcoming product called Goldinalsโ€”a Bitcoin fungible token standard similar to Ethereumโ€™s ERC-20 model. Feng stated,
โ€œOne of our top missions is to bring the world computer back to Bitcoin.โ€
