Cryptocurrency investors appear to adopt a “wait-and-see” approach to abundance of contradictory headings that appear. As a result, the BTC Volatility Index (DVOL) at Popular Options Exchange Deribit has dropped since January 20 and dropped from a high of 72 to about 50.8.
Drop signalizes Bitcoin’s maturation as an asset according to Tracy Jin, COO for Cryptocurrency Trading Platform Mexc. “Instead of responding sharply to short-term market shock, BTC shows signs of stabilization, which is increasingly similar to the dynamics of commodity markets and traditional SAFEN port assets,” Jin said.
While the FTX Credit Payments have started to roll out, the weight token -the baker just continues. The co -creator of the token, Hayden Davis, boasted of buying access to Argentine President Javier Milei’s inner circle prior to Memecoin’s launch, according to messages reviewed by Coindesk.
Meanwhile, the strategy, the largest business owner of Bitcoin, has been set to raise another $ 2 billion by selling zero coupon cabriolet notes. The funds collected will mostly be used to accumulate more BTC.
As Brevan Howard Digital’s CEO and CIO – it is only one person – emphasized on the consensus Hong Kong, the cryptocurrency has evolved since the collapse of FTX, but 24/7 risk management is still a necessity.
At the macro -front, dealers focus on minutes from the Federal Reserve’s interest rate meeting in January. Indications of the potential impact of increased tariffs are a particular focal point considering President Donald Trump’s comments on customs “in the neighborhood of 25% for cars, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products.”
The latest US-Russia talks in Riyadh have led to the appointment of teams to negotiate a cessation of the war in Ukraine and obligations to “normalize the operation” of their diplomatic missions. Still except representatives from Ukraine and Europe is still a point of contention. Stay aware!

- The Memecoin sector rolls from the controversy of Argentine President Javier Milei and the weight token.
