On January 21, the Kingdom of Bhutan announced plans to deploy and launch the Sei Network validator in the first quarter of the year.

#Crypto_News🔈🔈🔈 U.S. Treasury officially incorporates confiscated Bitcoin into the national strategic reserve On January 21, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced during the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 20, 2026, that the U.S. government will halt the sale of confiscated digital assets and transfer all Bitcoin currently held by the Department of Justice and the Treasury Department into the “U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”📌📌📌 Under the policy, Bitcoin obtained primarily through criminal and civil asset forfeitures will be permanently retained and will no longer be subject to periodic auctions conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service. Bessent stated that the move is intended to “stop the outflow of sovereign digital wealth” and that the more than 200,000 BTC currently held by the United States will be treated as a long-term value reserve on the national balance sheet, serving as a hedge against volatility in traditional currencies. 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk

#Project Analysis🚨🚨🚨 Axie Infinity bucks the trend, is the king of blockchain games making a comeback? The crypto market weakened across the board today, with BTC falling below $90,000 and major cryptocurrencies generally down 5%+. However, Axie Infinity's native token, AXS, defied the trend, surging over 27% in 24 hours with a trading volume of £590 million, becoming a rare bright spot in the market and reigniting calls for the return of the "king of blockchain games."🔥🔥🔥 The core of AXS's counter-trend rise lies in the project's major adjustment to its economic model announced on January 18th: the introduction of bAXS, a non-tradable token linked to accounts, providing 1:1 AXS backing rewards to real players. Simultaneously, adjustments to the SLP mechanism significantly reduced inflation, alleviating token selling pressure at its source and addressing the inflation pain point of the early "play-to-earn" model. This also drove up the prices of ecosystem tokens such as RONIN and SLP.🔔🔔🔔 However, this short-term rebound is unlikely to prove the true return of the king of blockchain games. Axie previously lost over 80% of its users due to excessive financialization, and the GameFi industry is currently still undergoing a bubble burst, with slow recovery at the application layer. This surge is more of a positive sentiment reaction. Whether it can maintain this momentum depends on bAXS's ability to retain players, the game's innovative content, and the continued improvement of the Ronin blockchain ecosystem. The return of the king of blockchain games still requires overcoming the dual hurdles of gameplay and ecosystem sustainability.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk

#Rich🔥🔥🔥 A New Way to Arbitrage Across Chains: High-Frequency Cross-Chain Arbitrage Earns 4.6 Million Yuan in Six Months On January 21st, an insider revealed that a netizen exploited a loophole in the fee rates of cross-chain bridges on niche public chains. With an initial capital of 7,000 yuan, he profited 4.6 million yuan in six months through risk-free arbitrage and token appreciation, a 657-fold increase in his initial investment.🌈🌈🌈 He had been researching the price differences of various public chain assets for years and discovered that a certain emerging cross-chain bridge had an unbalanced pricing mechanism for cross-chain fees on niche stablecoins. There was a 5%-8% risk-free price difference for the same token across different public chains, which could also be combined with cross-chain mining rewards.🚨🚨🚨 Therefore, he built an automated arbitrage script, frequently buying low and selling high across chains, while simultaneously accumulating the cross-chain bridge platform's token. This token had long been low in circulation and unnoticed. Later, the cross-chain bridge received investment from an ecosystem fund and was listed on major exchanges, causing its price to soar. He then simultaneously realized the price difference and token gains.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk

#Rich🔔🔔🔔 Leveraging 6,000 RMB in NFT-Fi Rentals to Profit from Staking Arbitrage: A Friend Earns 5.1 Million RMB in September On January 21st, a user in the NFT-Fi sector revealed that a friend had discovered a staking arbitrage opportunity in a niche NFT rental protocol. With only 6,000 RMB in capital, they acquired low-value blockchain game NFTs and, through the combined returns of staking and rentals, saw the token surge 850 times in September, resulting in a profit of 5.1 million RMB.🚨🚨🚨 This friend, deeply involved in the niche NFT-Fi ecosystem, discovered a staking reward loophole in a certain blockchain game NFT rental protocol. They acquired low-value game tokens at low prices, earning platform tokens through staking while simultaneously earning stablecoins through rentals, accumulating double profits.🔔🔔🔔 This protocol's token had long lacked market capitalization, but the continuous accumulation of NFTs amplified the returns. Subsequently, the protocol integrated with leading blockchain game ecosystems, and the token's price soared after being listed on exchanges.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk

#Crypto_News⭐️⭐️⭐️ CFTC Chairman: Congress "Close to Passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" On January 21, the chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stated that the U.S. Congress is at a critical juncture in passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.

#MarketAnalysis🌐🌐🌐 Gold has peaked, the dollar is rebounding, so why is only the crypto market falling? On January 21st, spot gold surged 10% in 20 days, breaking through $4800/ounce, with a year-to-date increase of over $480. Spot silver rose 5.00% intraday, currently trading at $94.58/ounce, setting a new all-time high of $94.6/ounce. Conversely, Bitcoin briefly rebounded to $98,000 but then fell back below $90,000.⏸⏸⏸ Firstly, Bitcoin is a leading indicator of global risk assets because its price is purely driven by global liquidity and is not directly affected by any country's financial reports or interest rates. Therefore, its volatility often precedes that of mainstream risk assets like the Nasdaq index. Secondly, Bitcoin is highly correlated with the net liquidity of the global dollar. Although BTC reached a new high in 2025, this was largely due to new funds brought in by ETFs and did not change the fundamental situation of tight global macro liquidity.⌛⌛⌛ Furthermore, the world's second-largest source of liquidity—the Japanese yen—has also begun to tighten. This directly impacted a key source of funding for global risk assets over the past few decades: yen carry trades. Finally, geopolitical factors kept markets on edge, and Trump's actions in early 2026 further heightened this uncertainty.📉📉📉 Conversely, since 2025, precious metals and US stocks have seen successive rallies, a stark contrast to the cryptocurrency market. However, these market rallies were not due to a general improvement in macroeconomic and liquidity fundamentals, but rather a structural market driven by political factors and industrial policies against the backdrop of great power rivalry. 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk

#Project Analysis🌈🌈🌈 Pump.fun Launches Pump Fund, $3 Million Hackathon for Ecosystem Incubation On January 20th, Pump.fun, a leading MEME coin launch platform within the Solana ecosystem, officially announced the establishment of its investment arm, Pump Fund, and simultaneously launched a $3 million BiP hackathon. This program will provide $250,000 to each of the 12 selected projects at a pre-money valuation of $10 million, along with one-on-one mentoring for the founding teams and traffic exposure. Projects are required to be "openly built" throughout the entire process, with community feedback and market data serving as the final selection criteria.🚨🚨🚨 This move signifies a strategic upgrade for the platform from a short-term MEME coin trading tool to a long-term ecosystem incubation hub. It can convert existing speculative traffic into ecosystem stickiness and consolidate its traffic position by leveraging the social finance benefits of Solana's "smart cash tag." Its "open building + community validation" model breaks the subjective selection logic of traditional VCs, providing a more inclusive financing path for early-stage Web3 projects.⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pump.fun is backed by a cash flow of over 14 million tokens issued and annual revenue exceeding $1 billion. However, it is necessary to be wary of the risk of a bubble caused by the high pre-investment valuation of $10 million, as well as the possibility of data manipulation through inflated trading volume. The sustainability of this model will be determined by the subsequent quality of project implementation and the genuine activity of the community.🔥🔥🔥 🔡 Subscribe:Major Crypto Events ⭐ t.me/+52flOA1bxeUzOTRk
