🚀 Trump's Remarks Influence U.S. Interest Rate Expectations

According to BlockBeats, on January 17, data from CME FedWatch indicates that traders have reduced their expectations for two U.S. interest rate cuts in 2026. This shift follows U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that he may nominate someone other than National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett to succeed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

By the end of 2026, the probability of no rate cuts throughout the year stands at 11.8%. The likelihood of a cumulative 25 basis point cut is 30.3%, while a 50 basis point reduction is anticipated at 32.1%.

Today, Trump commented on Hassett, stating, "I want him to remain in his current position, and we will see." This statement implies that Trump may have another candidate in mind for the Federal Reserve Chair position.

🚀 Independent Miners Secure Bitcoin Block Rewards Amid Market Shifts

According to ChainCatcher, two independent miners successfully mined Bitcoin blocks this week, each earning a full block reward valued at approximately $300,000. One miner produced a block early on Thursday, receiving 3.157 Bitcoins, including transaction fees. The other miner earned a reward earlier in the week valued at around $295,000.

Currently, the Bitcoin mining market is dominated by large mining pools such as Foundry USA, AntPool, and F2Pool, making it less likely for independent miners to produce blocks. Recently, the market share of U.S. mining operations has declined, with some publicly listed mining companies shifting their computational power towards AI and high-performance computing sectors.

🚀 Tokenization of Gold Emerges as Promising Asset Class

According to Odaily, Tang Bo, Assistant Dean of the Institute of Financial Research at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, has highlighted the growing potential of gold tokenization within the realm of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. As a safe-haven asset, gold's value is experiencing a resurgence, and tokenization technology is set to imbue this ancient asset with new financial attributes.

Unlike traditional gold ETFs, gold tokens serve as a 1:1 certificate for physical gold, allowing holders to directly withdraw the physical asset from vaults. In contrast, ETFs merely represent asset certificates. Furthermore, gold tokens can generate interest on the blockchain, enhancing gold's financial properties through mechanisms such as collateralized lending.
