Odaily News UBS Global Wealth Management noted in a report that despite the stronger-than-expected January non-farm payrolls report, evidence of declining US inflation in the coming months should allow the Federal Reserve to maintain its plans for further interest rate cuts. Chief Investment Officer Mark Haefele stated that the institution's baseline scenario remains a 25 basis point cut each in June and September, which "would create a favorable environment for stocks, bonds, and gold." Data from the London Stock Exchange shows that after the non-farm data release, money markets have lowered their expectations for the total magnitude of Fed rate cuts this year from the previous approximately 60 basis points to about 50 basis points, and have pushed back the pricing of the next rate cut from June to July.

Odaily News: Full-scope exchange Bitget has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its mobile app, placing cryptocurrency (Crypto) and traditional finance (TradFi) markets side-by-side on the homepage to enhance the cross-asset trading experience. In the new interface, through the trading tab, users can access crypto products such as contracts, spot trading, on-chain trading, leveraged trading, and wealth management. Simultaneously, a dedicated TradFi entry has been added, supporting users to access stock perpetual contracts, forex, gold, and RWA tokens with one click via USDT. Post-upgrade, the overall operational path is reduced by approximately 30% compared to conventional industry processes.

Bitget points out that the current annual global stock trading volume is approximately $100 to $130 trillion, and is expected to increase to $160 to $200 trillion by 2030. With the acceleration of tokenized asset circulation, exchanges may capture about 20% to 40% of the related trading volume. Bitget's UEX (Universal Exchange) strategic goal is to become a core liquidity and distribution hub, and to capture approximately 40% of the tokenized stock trading volume by 2030.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that as the regulatory environment gradually matures and the trend of institutional asset on-chainization strengthens, crypto technology is gradually evolving into the settlement infrastructure for everyday finance. This product experience redesign aims to align with this asset migration trend. The upgraded app has been launched globally.

Odaily News Bitcoin payment application Strike announced on the X platform that it will adjust its margin call policy. Its founder, Jack Mallers, clarified that Strike's loan mechanism will not conduct full liquidation of Bitcoin collateral. When a loan falls below the maintenance margin level, the platform will only perform partial liquidation to restore the loan to a healthy loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of approximately 65%. Jack Mallers added that this mechanism aims to protect users' Bitcoin assets as much as possible while maintaining loan health and buying more time for both customers and the Bitcoin price to recover. Based on this mechanism, the overall liquidation ratio of Strike's loan book is maintained in the low single-digit range of the total outstanding loans, approximately 1%–3%.
