Illinois has become the latest state in the United States to advance a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill. HB1844, proposed by state Rep. John Cabello, proposes the creation of a "Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund" as a special fund for the state treasury to hold Bitcoin as a financial asset. According to the bill, the state treasury must hold Bitcoin for at least 5 years, after which it may choose to transfer, sell or convert it into other cryptocurrencies. The bill was submitted to the Rules Committee on January 29, awaiting further regulatory details and legislative approval. Notably, Illinois' move comes on the heels of the Arizona Senate's advancement of Bitcoin reserve legislation, which seeks to allow public funds and pensions to invest in Bitcoin. MANSA co-founder and CEO Mouloukou Sanoh said the move is an important step in the popularization of Bitcoin in the United States and may inspire more states to follow suit, but nationwide approval still requires time and regulatory clarity. In addition, Texas has also included Bitcoin reserves in its 2025 legislative priorities.

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise, recently wrote an article analyzing that Trump's latest executive order may become a key catalyst to break the four-year cycle of the crypto market. The executive order lists the development of the digital asset ecosystem as a "national priority", clearly proposes to establish a clear crypto regulatory framework, and plans to establish a "national crypto reserve" to pave the way for Wall Street's big banks and investors to enter the crypto field on a large scale. Hougan pointed out that the four-year cycle of the crypto market is usually triggered by technological breakthroughs or market events, including bull markets, leverage accumulation, market overheating and subsequent pullbacks. However, Trump's executive order may have far-reaching effects, promoting banks to custody crypto assets, stablecoins to be widely integrated into the payment system, and institutional investors to deploy crypto assets on a large scale. He predicts that this series of changes may attract trillions of dollars of new capital to flow into the market. Although Hougan believes that the market may still experience short-term fluctuations, he expects the magnitude and duration of future pullbacks to be shorter than before. He said that as the crypto market matures and the investor structure becomes more diversified, the "crypto winter" in 2026 may not be as severe as expected. At present, he believes that the market is still in a comprehensive bullish stage and the crypto industry is ushering in a new era of mainstreaming.

Patrick Bush, senior investment analyst at VanEck, conducted a comprehensive comparison of Sui and Aptos, covering blockchain performance, scalability, ecosystem and trading advantages. He predicts that by the end of 2025, the price of SUI will reach $16 and the price of APT will reach $22. The analysis believes that Sui has greater potential in technology and transaction optimization, such as its programmable transaction blocks and deep order books (DeepBook), which provide lower transaction costs and deeper liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEX). However, Aptos' dynamic parallel processing and more sound design may have an advantage in future competition. In addition, the report pointed out that the long-term success of both will depend on the combination of technological innovation and ecological expansion, as well as whether they can attract developers and users. Although Sui and Aptos are technologically advanced, they still face challenges from established blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana and emerging competitors.

According to an official announcement, Worksport, a US clean energy solutions manufacturer, has purchased Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP) for the first time, which is an important measure of its newly established cryptocurrency reserve strategy. The company said that the initial purchase of the six-figure amount is to cope with global economic changes and support its long-term growth plan. Worksport plans to achieve revenue growth, launch three new products and approach the cash flow positive target in 2025. The company said that it will use excess cash reserves to gradually increase its cryptocurrency holdings, while closely monitoring the regulatory dynamics of the new US government on cryptocurrencies. In addition, Worksport also plans to introduce cryptocurrency payment options on its official website Worksport.com to reduce transaction costs and expand payment methods, further improving operational efficiency. Worksport CEO Steven Rossi said that the company's business is growing rapidly, and both revenue and profit margins are steadily increasing.

The company is optimistic about the current BTC and XRP holdings in the long term. Earlier news, US listed company Worksport announced that it would purchase Bitcoin and XRP as reserve assets.

Recently, the People's Court of Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, announced several criminal judgments involving the BKEX exchange, which clearly defined the contract transactions on the platform as gambling behavior, and held relevant employees and agents criminally responsible for the crime of opening a casino. The judgment shows that the BKEX exchange was founded by Ji Jiaming in Chengdu in 2018, mainly providing virtual currency exchange and spot trading services. In 2021, the platform launched a perpetual contract trading function. Users bet through USDT and bet on the price rise and fall of virtual currencies such as BTC and ETH with high leverage, suspected of using the Internet to gather people for gambling. As of the time of the incident, the BKEX platform had a cumulative net profit of approximately 54.798 million USDT (equivalent to approximately 300 million yuan), and the number of contract trading users reached 270,000, of which more than 60,000 were active users. Because the founder Ji Jiaming is on the run, this case mainly targets platform employees and agents. The verdict involved 2 employees and 6 agents. One of the employees, Zheng Lei, served as a wallet engineer and was responsible for technical support for fund flow. He was sentenced to 2 years and 1 month in prison, suspended for 2 years and 1 month, and fined 150,000 yuan. Another employee, Wang, was responsible for KYC certification and fund settlement. He was sentenced to 1 year and 11 months in prison and fined 52,000 yuan. Agent Dong was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison, suspended for 1 year and 6 months, and fined 35,000 yuan for developing downline gambling. The relevant illegal gains have been recovered and turned over to the state treasury. The court determined that the defendants were all accomplices, and some of them received lighter punishments for admitting guilt and actively returning the stolen goods.

Fed Chairman Powell said at a press conference that the U.S. economy remains strong overall, and the labor market remains robust despite a cooling. He pointed out that inflation is close to the target but still slightly high, and the labor market is not the source of current inflationary pressure, so the Fed does not need to rush to adjust the policy interest rate. Discussions on the policy framework have been launched at this meeting. Powell stressed that the Fed will only consider cutting interest rates when there is substantial progress in inflation or the job market is weak, and expects inflation to improve further in the future. He said that the Fed's current policy is "substantially but not highly" restrictive, and overall financial conditions are slightly loose. In addition, Powell mentioned that artificial intelligence is an important factor in the development of the stock market, but the market volatility it has caused is not a continuous change, and the Fed is more concerned about the macro economy. He also said that the Fed's interest rate level is significantly higher than the neutral interest rate, and the reserve funds in the balance sheet are still ample. When asked whether a rate cut is possible in March, Powell reiterated that there is no need to rush. He pointed out that the Fed will take time to assess the impact of the new government's policies, including tariffs, immigration, fiscal and regulatory policies, and emphasized that it will not rush to formulate policies to ensure that policy responses are fully understood.
