According to Odaily, the new session of the United States Congress is set to conduct the official counting and certification of the 2024 presidential election results on January 6. In this election, Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious. The process is expected to be overseen by Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the losing candidate in the election.

According to Odaily, Goldman Sachs has released a report forecasting that the S&P 500 index will rise to 6500 points by the end of this year, driven primarily by corporate earnings growth. The report estimates an 11% increase in earnings per share for this year and a 7% increase for the next year, with the price-to-earnings ratio expected to remain around 21.5 times by year-end. Goldman Sachs noted that last year, the S&P 500 achieved a total return of 25%, marking the second consecutive year with returns exceeding 20%. The last occurrence of such consecutive high returns was in 1998 and 1999. Nearly half of last year's annual returns were attributed to five stocks: Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, and Broadcom.

According to Cointelegraph, a Bitcoin rally led by former President Donald Trump is anticipated to occur in the days leading up to his January 20 inauguration. However, this momentum might diminish towards the end of the month as the Federal Reserve is set to announce its first interest rate decision of the new year. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, forecasts a "positive start" in early January, followed by a slight pullback before the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data on January 15. Thielen suggests that a favorable CPI result could reignite optimism, potentially fueling a rally into Trump's inauguration. Nonetheless, he warns that this momentum may wane, with the market likely retreating ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on January 29. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool indicates an 88.8% probability that the US federal target rate will remain between 425 and 450 basis points following the FOMC’s January 29 meeting. Previously, Bitcoin experienced a nearly 15% drop to around $92,800 after the FOMC meeting on December 18, where the number of projected interest rate cuts for 2025 was reduced from five to two. Thielen identifies the Federal Reserve's communication as the "primary risk" to a Bitcoin rally in 2025, noting that while lower inflation is anticipated this year, it may take time for the Federal Reserve to formally acknowledge and respond to this shift. Another significant factor will be the pace at which institutional investors return to the crypto market, as reflected through stablecoin minting and spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund inflows. Thielen projects Bitcoin to be in the $97,000 to $98,000 range by the end of January. Meanwhile, John Glover, chief investment officer at crypto lending firm Ledn, predicts Bitcoin could pull back to $89,000 before rebounding to $125,000 by the end of the first quarter. Glover further anticipates that Bitcoin may retrace to $100,000 before making a push towards $160,000 in late 2025 or early 2026. His $160,000 estimate is more conservative compared to the $180,000 and $200,000 predictions by asset management firms VanEck and Bitwise. Despite the bearish short-term outlooks, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which gauges market sentiment for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, returned to the "Extreme Greed" zone with a score of 76 out of 100 on January 5 as Bitcoin rose to $98,850. It had previously exited the Extreme Greed zone on December 27, 2024, remaining in the "greed" zone for the last ten days.

According to BlockBeats, Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, has forecasted a promising beginning for the cryptocurrency market in early January. In a report dated January 5, Thielen anticipates a slight pullback before the release of the Consumer Price Index inflation data on January 15. Following this, the market is expected to rise again ahead of the inauguration of Donald Trump. However, a decline is predicted before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on January 29.

According to Odaily, Placeholder partner Chris Burniske recently expressed optimism about the cryptocurrency market on X, stating that Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) appear robust across various time frames and are likely to rise again soon. He also noted that, similar to previous trends, meme coins have served as a good indicator of increased risk appetite in recent weeks.

韩国加密交易所 Bithumb 将其已停运的子公司 Bithumb Meta 转型为 Bithumb Partners，并更改主营业务为投资，类似于 Bithumb 去年寻求分拆时试图成立的投资机构。 业内人士透露，Bithumb 于去年第四季度进行此次更名，并将资本金增至 300 亿韩元。过去，Bithumb Meta 成立时的资本为 290 亿韩元，此次新投入的资本为 10 亿韩元。 Bithumb 拥有 100%的股份。三年前向 Bithumb Meta 投资约 100 亿韩元的 LGCNS、CJ Olive Networks 和 SK Square 关联公司已于去年下半年清算了其股份。其间，Bithumb Meta 一直从事 NFT、元宇宙等业务，但未能产生显著的业绩，损失了大部分投资。 Bithumb Partners 将主要负责利用 Bithumb 自有资金进行股票、债券等短期债权投资，以区别于主要负责投资外部企业的子公司 Bithumb Investment。 业内人士指出：“Bithumb 在正式实施人员重组时，提出了以交易所为中心的存续法人和新投资法人体系，因此此次投资子公司的成立似乎与此有一定关联。鉴于 Bithumb 已公开宣布今年将进行 IPO，市场对其成立子公司等举措将如何推进表示高度关注。”（BizWatch）

According to Odaily, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has made predictions regarding tokenization, emphasizing its potential impact on the supply side rather than the demand side. While much attention has been on democratizing the use of money market funds, Horsley believes the true revolutionary potential lies in enabling a large number of untapped small businesses to access capital markets. Edwin Mata, founder and CEO of Brickken, also highlighted the significance of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. He suggested that by 2025, RWA tokenization could become a pivotal narrative in the crypto sector. This process involves digitizing assets such as real estate, debt, and equity, allowing them to be traded on blockchain platforms, thereby transforming traditional markets.
