As of January 14, 2026 (Wednesday), the major core positive developments are organized by impact priority (based on Jintou data, technical analysis, and macro sentiment), with added driving logic and sustainability assessments:
1. Macro Data Positives (Continuing overnight strong drivers)
1. US December Core CPI below expectations (verified by Jintou data): Month-over-month and year-over-year increases at four-year lows, reinforcing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, stabilizing the dollar, and lowering treasury yields, leading to a rebound in risk asset preferences; Bitcoin temporarily broke through $94,000 overnight, with a 24-hour increase of over 3%, driving mainstream coins higher. - Sustainability: Short- to medium-term positive, pending confirmation from upcoming non-farm payroll and PCE data on the rate cut cycle. 2. Market sentiment: Bitcoin options positions are fully washed out, leverage environment stabilizing; signs of increased institutional fund inflows, with crypto-related stocks like Coinbase also strengthening.
2. Regulatory and Industry Milestone Positives
1. US Senate crypto regulation bill draft advancement (key): Clearly defines Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., as “digital commodities” under CFTC jurisdiction, security tokens under SEC, and separate regulation for stablecoins; a key vote is scheduled for Thursday, which is expected to clarify regulatory boundaries, providing long-term benefits for institutional entry. - Sustainability: Long-term strong positive; if enacted, it will significantly reduce compliance risk premiums. 2. Bitpanda plans Frankfurt IPO in the first half of the year (announced January 14): Target valuation of €4-5 billion, with Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and others acting as underwriters; accelerated crypto exchange platform IPOs reflect increased recognition of the crypto industry by traditional capital markets. - Sustainability: Mid- to long-term positive, driving industry valuation restructuring and compliance progress. 3. South Korean companies’ crypto investment ban lifted (continued positive): The 9-year ban ends, with increased expectations for corporate funds entering the market, bringing incremental institutional capital.
3. Technical and Ecosystem Positives
1. Bitcoin Core adds a sixth trusted key holder, further dispersing authority, enhancing network security and resistance to censorship. 2. Dubai DFSA updates crypto token regulations, clarifying stablecoin supervision and fee standards, promoting the normalization of the Middle East crypto financial ecosystem.
