We're not allowed to own bitcoin Bitcoin shaken by FOMC's aftermath, warns of further declines early next year

The rebound in various inflation indicators seems to have come as a blow to the cryptocurrency, with Chairman Jerome Powell expressing hesitancy to cut interest rates next year.
“While we have lowered our policy rate substantially, we need to be more cautious about further reductions in the future,” Powell said.
“We're not allowed to own bitcoin,” he said, putting the nail in the coffin of the idea of a strategic stockpile of bitcoin in a second Trump administration. “That's a matter for Congress to consider, and the Fed has no plans to pursue legislative changes,” he said.
According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) FedWatch tool, the probability of another rate cut at the January meeting is currently rated as low as 8.6%. Stock markets were also negatively impacted, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 closing down about 3% each.

Usual x Ethena x BUIDL - The Holy Trinity of DeFi Renaissance

A strategic partnership between Usual, Ethena, and Securitize, the tokenization platform for the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), is reshaping DeFi by combining liquidity, yield, and composability.

What’s Changing for Users?
USDtb Collateral Integration: In the coming weeks, the combination of USDtb and BUIDL can be accepted as collateral for USD0, bridging TradFi-grade stability with DeFi innovation. It will provide Usual diversification of collateral and increase USD0 decentralization.
Maximized Yield Opportunities: USD0++ holders can access a 1:1 incentivized vault in USUAL and sats for sUSDe, unlocking higher yields through delta-neutral strategies and fully subsidized rewards. These vaults will be isolated and won't affect USD0++ backing.
Unmatched Composability: All these communicating layers show the real power of DeFi. Usual and Ethena aim to drastically improve the stablecoin landscape and provide users increased safety, composability, and profitability.
Enhanced Liquidity: A seamless 1:1 swap mechanism between USDtb, USD0, and USDe reduces reliance on secondary pools, ensuring strong peg and pristine liquidity as efficient capital flows between stablecoins and the rest of the market.
Yield and treasury diversification: Ethena will allocate a portion of its reserves to USD0++, driving adoption, increasing TVL, and expanding yield opportunities for users. Usual's collateral will diversify its yield sources through the integration of USDtb and BUIDL.

Trump-Backed WLFI Announces Collaboration with Ethena to Revolutionize DeFi Market

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform backed by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, has announced a long-term collaboration with Ethena Labs.

The collaboration aims to integrate Ethena's sUSDe token as a collateral asset for WLFI's lending protocol.

The sUSDe token has performed exceptionally well since its addition to the Aave Core and Aave Lido platforms in November of last year, reaching nearly $1.2 billion in supply within a month. As a collateralized asset, sUSDe is likely to be adopted not only by WLFI but also by other DeFi protocols.

The decision to integrate sUSDe is subject to approval by WLFI governance, with a final decision expected this week. If the move is not approved, the two sides will explore other avenues of cooperation and find a mutually beneficial way to integrate.

WLFI has seen rapid growth since Trump's election, and recently appointed Tron founder Justin Sun as a strategic advisor to accelerate the platform's global expansion.

Additionally, WLFI has purchased $600,000 worth of ENA tokens, reflecting its confidence in the success of Ethereum's network. While these actions are not directly related to the collaboration, they demonstrate WLFI's long-term commitment to the partnership.

An unusual liquidation imbalance has occurred in Dogecoin (DOGE), according to Yutoday. As of the last 24 hours, the liquidated Dogecoin positions amounted to $13.88 million, which is not much considering the overall cryptocurrency market size ($4.02 billion). “The problem is not the size of the liquidations.

To put it in numbers, the amount of longs liquidated is 1,209% more than the total amount of shorts.” ”The reason is, as always, simple. “The reason is simple as always: latecomers or overleveraged traders failed to properly assess their risk and received a margin call from the exchange.

JPMorgan “Trump's November election ushers in a new era for U.S. crypto”

Donald Trump's victory in the November presidential election has ushered in a new era for cryptocurrencies in the United States, according to a new report from JPMorgan, according to CoinDesk. “The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has increased by approximately 65% since Trump's victory,” the report said. ”The second-term Trump administration has shown not only a favorable perception of cryptocurrencies, but also an eagerness to promote them, and a willingness to discuss how to regulate the cryptocurrency market and sustain its future development in the United States. Trump has already named a number of officials who will be involved in crypto policy formulation and enforcement.” “In the past, the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies has been abysmal. Now the industry will be safer, more transparent, and more productive from a regulatory perspective. An improved regulatory environment will encourage exchanges and brokers to list more tokens and spur product innovation.” ”However, it will take time for these effects to be fully realized. We may not see the policy impact for at least 9-12 months of Trump's term.”
