Q: Let's check some news for this week.
A:
1)Industry news

  • Panic 29, extreme panic, but much better than last week.
  • The U.S. government has begun to consider regulating uncustodial cryptocurrency wallets, and will implement KYC on them, urging those unverified wallet addresses to complete real-name authentication, so that every transaction will be documented. But each country can currently only regulate its own piece of land, and investors are still on the fringes.
  • Several banks, including Jefferies and Credit Suisse, have released advertisements for crypto research positions, investment banks have been tracking and researching crypto assets for a long time, Morgan Stanley has announced the establishment of a crypto ecosystem team, and Bank of America has announced the establishment of crypto departments. Similar traditional financial companies are strengthening the research and layout of crypto market.
  • India’s proposed 30% tax on virtual asset income also signals the government is starting to recognize the country’s cryptocurrency industry.
  • The Google Cloud team said that it will soon accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If Google Cloud completes this move, it will be a big leap for crypto market, once these cloud services belonging to WEB2.0 products are encrypted to WEB3.0.
  • VISA has reached cooperation with more than 65 crypto platforms and exchanges. The payment giant has fully embraced the crypto market. In the future, swiping cards around the world can simply complete payments for cryptocurrencies.
  • The NFT market continued to be hot in January, with the transaction volume hitting a new high of US$6 billion, an increase of 129% from December, which can be said to have reached a staged volume. In the past week, Ethereum has added nearly 1 million NFT assets, with average per day 140,000 NFT assets. The BAYC has once again been the focus of recent deals and focus, with totaling more than $1.2 billion, and a growing number of celebrities in entertainment and sports are holding the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT series, including rap superstar Eminem, talk show host Jimmy Fallon, NBA stars Stephen Curry and Shaq O'Neal, well-known investor Mark Cuban, etc.
  • YOUTUBE is ready to enter the crypto market. This giant of WEB2.0 will upgrade to WEB3.0.

2)Coins' news
  • The Russian Ministry of Digital Development stated that if the circulation of cryptocurrencies is banned, it will lead to the stagnation of Russian blockchain technology, the experts will flow out to other countries. At present, the Russian Ministry of Finance has advocated regulation, not prohibition.
  • More and more US governors are supporting Bitcoin, the states of Arizona, Texas, Florida and New York all showing extreme acceptance.
  • Grayscale adds 25 digital assets to its list of potential investments, adding DeFi projects Algorand (ALGO) and Convex (CVX) and metaverse projects The Sandbox (SAND), Axie Infinity (AXS) and Yield Guild Games (YGG) to the list ).
  • Brazilian officials believe that Bitcoin is the future and that using cryptocurrencies can help people fight inflation.
  • Flushing Bank to offer Bitcoin to clients in Q1 of 2022, it is another bank to offer crypto services to clients via NYDIG, and more banks to participate in crypto markets from this year. NYDIG is a subsidiary of Stone Ridge, a holding company that delivers Bitcoin products across industries, from banking and insurance to fintech and nonprofits.
  • Bitcoin: JPMorgan lowered the fair value of Bitcoin to $38,000, and the number of Bitcoins held and lost hit a 13-month high of $7.3 million. After the recent rebound, there is still no selling pressure. It is expected that the selling pressure will appear around $40,000. The current position still depends on the rebound.
  • ETH: Relatively strong in the past two days, NFT has led to the destruction of a large amount of ETH, and deflation has occurred again. The future is worth looking forward to. Selling pressure is around $3000, please be patient.

Conclusion:
  • Prominent analyst Willy Woo said a potential drop to $20,000 for Bitcoin does not seem feasible. On-chain metrics suggest that BTC is not in a bear market, he said, with a large number of long-term holders who haven’t sold in more than five months, traders who stopped selling near $40,000, and a steady accumulation rate as key reasons to remain bullish.
  • What the blockchain needs to solve is the transmission of internet value. If there is no token, the blockchain technology cannot show its strong tandem ability. Coinless blockchain actually only takes advantage of the face value of blockchain technology, rather than its core value transmission system.
  • 2021 is a busy year, if you are a long-term holder, the ups and downs of last year may make you uncomfortable, but the new channel sideways of $30,000 to $60,000 will build the bottom of the next bull market. In the next six months, we are going to be within this big channel repeatedly, but once it breaks out in the future, there will be an epic surge.
