There have been many focus points in the crypto market over the past week. Signals from the US labor market indicate that in the week of January 10, initial jobless claims were 198,000. Federal Reserve's Goolsbee hinted that there might be room for rate cuts this year, but the specific magnitude will depend on subsequent economic data.

On the policy front, the Trump administration has temporarily halted tariffs on key minerals, providing a breathing space for the industry chain. However, actions from traditional finance are also worth noting—US bank CEOs have publicly warned that interest-bearing stablecoins could impact the $6 trillion bank deposit scale, indicating that this field has already attracted serious attention on Wall Street.

In terms of institutional participation, Belgian bank KBC announced it will allow clients to purchase Bitcoin. Swift and Chainlink have also completed interoperability pilots for tokenized assets, reflecting the gradual acceptance of the crypto market by traditional financial institutions. A forecast from JPMorgan further boosted market confidence—predicting that by 2026, crypto capital inflows could exceed $130 billion. Whether this number can be achieved will depend on subsequent market performance.

The expectation of interest rate cuts causes the cryptocurrency prices to stir, but the real catalyst is institutional entry. The moves by KBC and JPMorgan have directly brought the crypto world from wild growth into a regulated framework. --- Stablecoins are impacting bank deposits, Wall Street is panicking haha, this shows we have won. --- $130 billion inflow? How can JPMorgan be so conservative? I think it can double. --- Suspending tariffs on mineral resources just to rescue the market? These policy moves are not enough; we need continuous accumulation through spot ETFs. --- Swift and Chainlink teaming up for a pilot program, traditional finance is really being reshaped, this is the trend. --- The Federal Reserve's rate cut space hasn't even been implemented yet, and they are already hyping expectations. The market is a bit overextended this time. --- Allowing KBC to buy Bitcoin is just the beginning. Next, many banks will follow suit. The reshuffling period has arrived. --- Initial jobless claims at 198,000. Does this number have a substantial impact on the price of cryptocurrencies? Or is it just another over-interpreted news?

Expectations of rate cuts + institutional entry, this rally is quite interesting Wall Street is starting to panic, indicating that we have indeed disrupted their cake $130 billion? We'll see then, better stockpile coins first Trump temporarily delays tariffs, the mining industry chain is saved Interest-bearing stablecoins impact bank deposits... this is a big deal Traditional finance embracing crypto, is mainstream adoption just around the corner? Initial jobless claims at 198,000, is a rate cut inevitable? KBC allows buying Bitcoin, Europe is waking up too This week's signals are overwhelming; the market's direction still depends on the buying power of retail investors Goolsby hints... the Federal Reserve is still wavering

Haha, Bank of America is probably scared. They’re even pulling out 6 trillion to scare people. --- The expectation of interest rate cuts is rising. Whether Bitcoin can benefit from this wave of gains depends on the situation. --- JPMorgan says 130 billion; I’ll believe it half. These institutional forecasts are just for listening. --- Banks are now allowing the purchase of Bitcoin. Truly a sign that times have changed. It’s quite ironic to think about. --- Trump easing tariffs? He’s probably trying to give the mining industry a breather, which is good news for the crypto world. --- Can stablecoins really shake the banking system? It feels a bit exaggerated to say so. --- Are traditional financial institutions collectively surrendering? It definitely looks different this year. --- If the 130 billion actually comes, then my decision last year was not in vain. --- Big institutions are all deploying strategies; small retail investors can only follow the trend. There’s not much they can do.

Wall Street is starting to panic, indicating that the crypto race is truly heating up --- Expectations of rate cuts + institutional entry, this wave of market movement depends on whether the retail investors follow or not --- JPMorgan predicts 130 billion, but I’m more cautious; usually, they do the opposite of what they say --- Stablecoin threatens 6 trillion in deposits? Banks are just scaring themselves --- Trump easing tariffs, this hand still shows some skill --- KBC allowing Bitcoin purchases indicates Europe can’t sit still either, haha --- Initial jobless claims at 198,000, expectations of rate cuts are rising, is BTC about to take off again? --- The collision between traditional finance and crypto, the real show has just begun --- Goolsby hints at rate cuts, but I didn’t hear anything new --- Swift and Chainlink working on interoperability, this move is well-planned --- A forecast of 130 billion USD, just listen and don’t take it seriously --- Policy benefits one after another, feeling too calm, need to be cautious
