Santiment, a market research firm, posted on social media on January 15 that since January 10, 'whales' and 'sharks' holding 10,000 to 100,000 BTC have cumulatively increased their holdings by 32,693 BTC, representing a 0.24% rise in total holdings. Meanwhile, 'shrimps' holding less than 0.01 BTC have cumulatively sold off 149 BTC since January 10, resulting in a 0.30% decline in their total holdings. This data suggests a signal: smart money is consistently buying, while small-scale investors are exiting. This is an ideal positioning for the start of a bull market. How long this trend continues depends on how long retail investors remain skeptical about the current early-stage rally. Currently, the 'extremely bullish' green zone is still ongoing.

Jinshi Finance News, January 15: On Wednesday local time, U.S. President Trump said that although the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, he currently has no plan to remove Powell. However, he also stated it's 'too early' to say what final actions will be taken. When asked if he would attempt to remove Powell, Trump told Reuters: 'I currently have no such plan.' When questioned whether this investigation provides grounds for such action, Trump added: 'Right now, we're in a 'wait-and-see' mode with him, and we'll decide what to do. But I can't go into details now. It's too early.' Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chairman ends in May, but he doesn't need to leave the Federal Reserve Board in Washington until 2028. Trump hinted he leans toward nominating former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh or National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett to succeed Powell. He also said he has ruled out U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for the role, 'because he wants to stay in his current position.' (Jinshi)

JULIA1: Mars Finance News, January 15, the Senate Banking Committee has canceled the previously scheduled hearing to revise and vote on comprehensive crypto legislation, following Coinbase's announcement of withdrawing support for the bill. It remains unclear when the hearing will take place. The Senate Banking Committee had originally planned to hold a clause revision hearing on Thursday morning. The bill aims to clarify regulatory authority between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, define when digital assets should be classified as securities or commodities, and establish new disclosure requirements. The bill text was released late Monday night, with the deadline for submitting amendments set for late Tuesday, paving the way for a planned vote on Thursday. However, support began to fracture on Wednesday. Key negotiator and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego told reporters he was supposed to meet with Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Digital Asset Advisory Committee, but the latter failed to attend. He stated he is currently unable to support the bill. Subsequently, Coinbase announced it was withdrawing its support. The company's CEO, Brian Armstrong, expressed concerns on the X platform regarding provisions in the bill related to stablecoin yields, tokenized equity, and decentralized finance. Nevertheless, other crypto companies and advocacy groups have continued to express support, stating they will keep working toward making the bill law by 2026.

The term 'impossible trinity' has become so familiar that it's practically worn out.

During the first decade of Ethereum's existence, the 'impossible trinity' functioned like a physical law hanging over every developer's head—you could choose any two out of decentralization, security, and scalability, but never all three simultaneously.

However, looking back from the beginning of 2026, we realize it may be gradually evolving into a 'design threshold' that can be overcome through technological advancement, just as Vitalik Buterin pointed out on January 8th with his groundbreaking insight: 'Improving bandwidth is safer and more reliable than reducing latency; with PeerDAS and ZKP, Ethereum's scalability can be increased by thousands of times, and this does not conflict with decentralization.'
