🚀 Uganda's Internet Shutdown Boosts Bitchat App Downloads

According to Odaily, the Ugandan government has cut off internet access nationwide during the presidential election, leading to a surge in downloads of the encrypted communication app Bitchat. The Uganda Communications Commission confirmed that the internet shutdown took effect at 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday and will remain in place throughout the election period.

Bitchat, which enables encrypted communication without internet via a Bluetooth mesh network, has topped the download charts on both the Apple App Store and Google Play in Uganda. Additionally, several VPN applications have also seen high download rates, indicating a significant increase in the public's demand for information access ahead of the election.

The Ugandan government stated that the internet shutdown aims to prevent the spread of false information during the election. However, critics argue that this move could restrict the flow of election-related information. The Executive Director of the Uganda Communications Commission had previously stated that there would be no internet shutdown, yet the measure was implemented. As of early January, over 400,000 users in Uganda had downloaded Bitchat.

This marks the third consecutive presidential election in Uganda where a nationwide internet shutdown has been enforced, with similar actions taken during the 2016 and 2021 elections. The report also notes that Bitchat has been widely used in various countries facing internet restrictions or sudden disasters, becoming a popular alternative communication tool in such environments.

🚀 Russia Prepares Legislation to Normalize Cryptocurrency Use

According to Odaily, Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Markets Committee of the Russian State Duma, announced that a bill aimed at removing cryptocurrencies from the 'special financial regulation' framework is ready. This legislation could make cryptocurrency a common aspect of life for Russian residents.

In an interview with Russian national television, Aksakov stated that the State Duma will focus on issues related to digital financial assets and cryptocurrencies during the upcoming spring session. The proposed bill intends to stop treating cryptocurrencies as special regulatory objects, thereby normalizing their use.

Aksakov also mentioned that the bill allows non-professional investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market, with a cap set at 300,000 rubles for individual digital currency purchases. Professional financial market participants will not face such restrictions. Additionally, cryptocurrencies could be used for international settlements and, once issued in Russia, could further enter financial markets in other countries.

🚀 Ethereum's Technical Analysis Suggests Potential Price Targets

According to Odaily, Garrett Jin, representative of '1011 Insider Whale,' has released a technical analysis on Ethereum (ETH). The analysis indicates that the C wave decline began on October 10 and faced resistance around November 20, with a failed fifth wave decline on December 18, suggesting a weakening downward momentum.

🚀 Elizabeth Warren Calls for Halt on Trust Bank License Linked to Trump

According to Odaily, U.S. Senator and senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, Elizabeth Warren, has urged a pause on the national trust bank license application associated with World Liberty Trust Co. until U.S. President Donald Trump divests his family's holdings in related digital asset businesses.

Warren has reportedly written to Jonathan Gould, the Acting Comptroller of the Currency, requesting a delay in the application process as long as Trump retains interests in the matter. She highlighted that if the application is approved, the regulations set by the authorities could directly impact the profitability of the President's related enterprises, posing a significant conflict of interest.

Warren noted that Congress failed to address such issues when passing the GENIUS Act, and therefore, the Senate has a responsibility to confront these conflicts while considering cryptocurrency market structure legislation. The Senate Banking Committee is set to hold hearings on the relevant bill, but the latest draft has yet to include the government ethics provisions previously demanded by Democrats.

🚀 Potential Parabolic Growth for Bitcoin Amid Sustained ETF Demand

According to Odaily, Bitwise Chief Information Officer Matt Hougan expressed on the X platform that if the demand for ETFs persists over the long term, Bitcoin's price could enter a phase of parabolic growth. Hougan drew a parallel with the projected 65% increase in gold prices by 2025, noting that both gold and Bitcoin prices are influenced by supply and demand dynamics.

In 2022, following the U.S. seizure of Russian sovereign debt deposits, central banks worldwide increased their annual gold purchases from approximately 500 tons to around 1,000 tons, maintaining this level consistently. This shift in demand altered the supply-demand balance, although it did not immediately reflect in gold prices. Gold prices rose by 2% in 2022, 13% in 2023, and 27% in 2024, with parabolic growth only occurring in 2025. This pattern emerged because the demand in previous years was met by holders willing to sell gold, and once the selling pressure from these holders was exhausted, prices surged significantly.

Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a similar situation with ETFs. Since the debut of ETFs in January 2024, their purchase volume has exceeded the new supply of Bitcoin by 100%. Despite this, prices have not yet entered a parabolic phase due to the willingness of existing holders to sell. If ETF demand continues, the selling pressure from current holders will eventually be depleted, potentially leading to a significant price increase.

🚀 Man Accused of Stealing $11 Million in XRP Files Countersuit

According to PANews, Kirk West, accused of stealing over $11 million worth of XRP from Nancy Jones, the widow of late American country music singer George Jones, has filed a countersuit. West claims that during their relationship, he accumulated wealth through cryptocurrency investments and is entitled to a share of the assets.

West was arrested last year for allegedly stealing $400,000 in cash and over 5.5 million XRP from Nancy Jones. Court documents reveal that the two met and became romantically involved after George Jones passed away in 2013. West, who described himself as a 'cryptocurrency expert,' persuaded Nancy to invest in various cryptocurrencies, including XRP, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.

Nancy expelled West from her home last year after suspecting infidelity and subsequently discovered that her Ledger hardware wallet, which stored her crypto assets, was missing from her safe. Although over 5 million XRP were recovered with legal assistance, 483,000 XRP, currently valued at over $1 million, remain unaccounted for.

In his countersuit, West denies the theft allegations and asserts that he created wealth for both parties through 'multiple wise investments.' He seeks half of the cryptocurrencies, cash, and gold and silver assets they held when he left Nancy's residence last year. According to Rolling Stone magazine, these assets include $5 million worth of gold and silver and $1 million in cash.

The Williamson County court records indicate that the case, filed with a private summons last October, saw its first update this week with West's countersuit.

🚀 JPMorgan CFO Warns Against Parallel Banking System from Yield Stablecoins

According to PANews, JPMorgan's Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum cautioned during the fourth-quarter earnings call that yield stablecoins could lead to a 'parallel banking system' lacking traditional regulatory safeguards, which he described as 'dangerous and undesirable.' Barnum expressed support for the GENIUS Act's intention to establish guardrails for stablecoin issuance but opposed the emergence of alternative systems with banking features, such as interest-bearing deposits, that are not subject to appropriate prudential regulation. He emphasized that while banks welcome competition and innovation, they firmly oppose the creation of a parallel banking system outside existing regulatory protections.

Previously, the U.S. banking sector had expressed concerns that yield stablecoins might disrupt their business models. The recently reviewed draft amendment of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act explicitly prohibits digital asset service providers from paying interest or returns solely for holding stablecoins, aiming to prevent stablecoins from functioning like bank deposits. However, the draft still allows incentives for liquidity provision, governance participation, and staking within the ecosystem.
