Here’s what you’ll learn:

Market Sentiment: Cryptocurrency investment products saw record weekly inflows of $2.2 billion, driven by heightened excitement around Donald Trump’s inauguration, with Bitcoin leading the inflows at $1.9 billion. Ethereum-focused ETFs gained momentum, signaling institutional adoption of Ethereum's ecosystem. In DeFi, a shift toward Liquid Staking, Lending, and Bridges signals a maturing market. Retail demand remains subdued, with a 22% drop in activity, but Google searches for "how to buy crypto" hit an all-time high, indicating a potential resurgence in retail interest.

Yield Opportunities: Grayscale has launched its XRP Trust for accredited investors, Nubank expanded its USDC rewards program offering 4% annual returns, and platforms like Perena, Avalon Labs, and Resolv Labs are leading stablecoin farming opportunities, while Pendle Finance offers top yields for Berachain vaults.

New Airdrops: Orbiter Finance ($OBT), SoSo Value ($SOSO), and Solv Protocol ($SOLV) have launched new tokens, offering airdrops and community-focused incentives. Nillion has allocated 75M tokens for its Alpha Mainnet airdrop, while Humanity Protocol updates its system, allowing users to boost $RWT rewards by up to 60% by linking social media accounts.

Upcoming TGEs and Token Sales: Crypto events to watch include token releases such as $PMX from Jan 20-24, and $J on Jan 22. Notable listings include $ANIME farming on OKX from Jan 20-23, and $SOSO on Bybit from Jan 20-31. $QUAI (Quai Network) mainnet goes live on Jan 29. Plus, $SOL (Solana) ETF decision is due by Jan 25.
