On January 16, Anna Paulson—Philadelphia Fed’s newly installed president and a 2026 FOMC voting member—said in her first national media interview there’s no need to rush rate cuts, explicitly backing Fed Chair Powell’s leadership and central bank independence. Paulson noted current interest rates remain slightly above the neutral range, which continues pushing inflation toward the 2% target. She expressed “satisfaction” with the Fed’s rate hold at its January meeting. She expects substantial inflation progress this year, but any rate cut later in 2024 will hinge on two factors: whether inflation eases as forecast, and whether the labor market sees an unexpected deterioration. On risk balance, Paulson said downside risks to the labor market are “slightly higher than” those of sticky inflation.

January 16 — Per Coinglass data, if Bitcoin drops below $94,000, cumulative long liquidation strength across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $263 million. On the flip side, if Bitcoin rises above $97,000, cumulative short liquidation strength on major CEXs will reach $97.57 million (rounded from the original $97.5681 million). Note from BlockBeats: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or their precise value. Instead, the bars on these charts reflect how important each liquidation cluster is relative to adjacent clusters — this is what’s meant by "strength." As such, liquidation charts indicate how much the underlying asset’s price will react when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more pronounced price response driven by a liquidity cascade.

On January 16, AI Auntie monitoring shows X has revoked API access for the InfoFi app, causing KAITO to drop 19% in 24 hours. Per the Kaito Dune dashboard, 25,798,188 KAITO tokens are currently staked (valued at ~$14.16 million), with an average of 589 tokens staked per address. Given KAITO’s 7-day unstaking lockup period, this staked supply has already faced 19% forced dilution.

On January 16, GMGN monitoring data shows most BSC meme coins saw a slight rebound this morning, with Year of the Horse-themed tokens posting relatively strong gains. “I Stepped on the Horse” is up ~10% over the past 6 hours, boasting an $18.3 million market cap and a current price of ~$0.0182. Meanwhile, other meme coins with seven-figure market caps—including “Dark Horse,” “Crying Horse,” “Success Horse,” and “Jumping Pony”—also logged notable gains today. Separately, the $1 pool meme coin “One” surged at open today, driven by the $1 trading competition. It now has an $8.8 million market cap, and its rally mirrors that of “Peace” and “BIG DON” — with a wave of suspected linked new addresses conducting concentrated on-chain trading. BlockBeats notes that meme coin trading is extremely volatile, heavily tied to market sentiment and hype, and lacks real value or utility. Investors should exercise caution and be fully aware of the risks.
