Jan. 17 — Trader James Wynn, who once teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, took to social media to say: “Ethereum looks pretty strong. The cycle we’ve been waiting for might be unfolding now.” Many are still on the sidelines; others have already stepped away—returned to their day jobs, or moved back in with their moms. But this time, it might actually be here. As I noted earlier, Q1 will be a bull market. Watch for ETH, PEPE, DRB, and BYTE.

On January 17, U.S. fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake announced it allocated $10 million to Bitcoin this week, formally adding BTC to its balance sheet. The move builds on its crypto-friendly push over the past eight months, during which all U.S. locations began accepting Bitcoin payments.

Per Reuters, Trump recently told reporters at the White House that while White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett was widely expected to replace current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, he “leans more toward keeping Hassett in his current role” and views a potential reassignment as a “serious concern.” The comment quickly cooled market expectations that Hassett would take the Fed’s top job. As a result, Hassett’s projected win probability on prediction platform Polymarket plummeted, while that of his top rival—former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh—jumped to nearly 60%.
