Odaily According to Polymarket data, only 17% of users believe that all tariffs threatened by Trump on Europe will take effect on February 1st. This market sentiment reflects the "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) trading strategy, where investors bet that Trump will ultimately back down from his tariff threats. Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid noted that the market "has room for more volatility" and stated that markets have previously suffered losses from overreacting to tariff threats. UBS Chief Economist Paul Donovan believes the market is behaving rationally, and bond investors do not seem to be taking these threats too seriously. (Fortune)

Odaily News: A USD1 growth proposal from the Trump family-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has passed a governance vote, but it has drawn community criticism as holders with locked WLFI tokens were unable to participate. On-chain voting data shows the largest votes in favor came from top wallets marked as associated with the team or strategic partners. The top nine wallets collectively accounted for approximately 59% of the total voting power, with the largest single wallet contributing 18.786%. It is reported that many community users believe some holders' WLFI tokens have been locked since TGE and cannot be unlocked for voting until the team permits. WLFI holders are not entitled to any protocol revenue. According to project documentation, 75% of net revenue is allocated to entities related to the Trump family, with the remaining 25% going to entities related to the Witkoff family. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News According to local media reports, South Korean financial regulators are assessing whether to end the long-standing practice of "one exchange partnering with only one bank." This review, coordinated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Fair Trade Commission, aims to evaluate whether the current mechanism exacerbates market concentration. The report points out that the "one exchange, one bank" rule is not codified in law but has gradually formed under anti-money laundering (AML) and customer due diligence requirements. Related studies suggest this model may restrict small and medium-sized exchanges from accessing banking services, thereby reinforcing the dominance of leading platforms.

This discussion is also related to South Korea's advancement of the second phase of legislation for the "Digital Asset Basic Act." The bill plans to allow the issuance of Korean Won stablecoins, but disagreements remain regarding the regulatory framework and approval mechanisms. Its submission has been postponed to 2026.

Odaily News According to a Bloomberg report, crypto assets have added roughly $1.4 billion to the Trump family's wealth over the past year. Cryptocurrency now accounts for about one-fifth of their estimated $6.8 billion total net worth, marking the first time it has reached this level. During Trump's second term, the family has seen significant gains from new ventures including the crypto platform World Liberty Financial, which he co-founded, a meme coin bearing his name, and the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin Corp., among others. Notably, World Liberty's platform token and its stablecoin USD1 business have seen substantial valuation increases. Concurrently, the stock price of his social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, has fallen 66% over the past 12 months, partially offsetting the gains from crypto assets. Family members have also invested in companies like SpaceX through the venture capital firm 1789 Capital and have expanded the global real estate licensing business of the Trump Organization. The White House Press Secretary responded, stating that the administration is fulfilling the President's commitment through executive actions and policies to make the United States the world's capital for crypto.

Odaily News According to a recent editorial by Bloomberg's editorial board, although the US Congress is pushing to establish a clearer legal framework for digital assets, aiming to support technological innovation while strengthening constraints on illegal activities, this legislative process may fall short of expectations given the current weakened power of regulatory agencies and their significantly insufficient enforcement resources.

The article points out that the "Genius Act" related to stablecoin regulation disperses several core responsibilities across different regulatory bodies. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which plays a key role, has seen its enforcement capabilities significantly limited after experiencing layoffs and cybersecurity incidents. Meanwhile, the "Clarity Act" proposes adjusting regulatory divisions of labor, weakening the jurisdiction of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and bringing most tokens under the supervision of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). However, the latter's budget is only a fraction of the SEC's, and it has long faced constraints in manpower and enforcement resources. Furthermore, the functions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which previously handled consumer complaints in the crypto space, have been substantially reduced, further weakening the integrity of the overall regulatory network.

Bloomberg believes that against the backdrop of incomplete regulatory capacity, promoting the broader entry of crypto assets into public and institutional investment spheres may be counterproductive. If fraud and illegal activities continue to be exposed, market confidence and industry development could instead suffer. The article suggests that a unified trading regulatory framework should be established for digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are difficult to categorize, with rules jointly formulated by the SEC and CFTC to strengthen market stability, information disclosure, and investor protection. The editorial concludes with a warning that until Congress truly provides regulatory agencies with sufficient authority, professional capabilities, and resources, the crypto market will remain in a state of "caveat emptor" (buyer beware) for the long term.

Odaily News Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have declined once again, with BTC's price erasing all gains from last week's rally to $98,000.

Additionally, Bitcoin futures open interest has remained stable, and funding rates for most major tokens are still positive. However, futures open interest (OI) for DOGE, ZEC, and ADA saw the largest declines, indicating capital outflows. On some derivatives platforms, traders continue to price put options for BTC and ETH higher than call options. Traders are pricing in a 30% probability that BTC will fall below $80,000. (CoinDesk)
