It will advise the CFTC on “the business operationalization, economic benefits, and practical considerations of emerging financial products, platforms, and business models”—aiming to “set clear rules for the U.S. financial market’s golden age.” Behnam will lead the new committee as its initiator, planning to nominate 12 “CEO Innovators” as founding members. Crypto industry figures tapped include Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan, Kalshi (prediction market platform) founder Tarek Mansour, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, and Kraken co-founder Arjun Sethi.

Analyst: Current Bitcoin Volatility Drops to Extreme Low Levels, Signaling an Upcoming Breakout from Narrow Range Oscillation

On January 13, CryptoQuant analyst Axel took to social media to note that current market volatility has fallen to an extremely low level—one that often precedes a price breakout from a narrow trading range. Axel noted Bitcoin’s realized volatility has compressed to 23%—a threshold that rarely persists long statistically. Historically, such compressed volatility typically gives way to a sharp spike in volatility. Extended periods of extremely low volatility signal a delicate balance between supply and demand; in turn, the market usually enters an active phase of liquidity redistribution, with a notable expansion in its price range. That said, the indicator does not point to a breakout direction nor does it qualify as a trading signal.

PancakeSwap Official Announces New Proposal to Adjust CAKE Max Supply from 4.5 Billion to 4 Billion

**January 13 Update: PancakeSwap Proposes Cutting CAKE Max Supply to 400M** Official sources confirmed on January 13 that the PancakeSwap team has unveiled a new proposal to reduce CAKE’s maximum supply from 450 million to 400 million. The team noted the adjusted cap will be sufficient to support all the protocol’s future development needs. While there’s a ~50 million token buffer between the current circulating supply (≈350 million) and the new 400 million max, the team expects this reserve won’t need to be accessed. It may only activate the buffer in special circumstances. Notably, Pancake’s ecosystem development fund continues to grow steadily, currently holding ~3.5 million CAKE. These reserves will be prioritized for protocol needs before any additional emissions are considered—meaning the protocol is unlikely to return to an inflationary state.

BSC on-chain USD1 Pool Meme Coin "Anu" has continued to rise since a lackluster morning, with a current market value of $34.7 million

January 13 "An"—the first Chinese meme coin on BSC to use a $1 stablecoin pool—launched today and surged sharply, per GMGN Monitoring (via their Telegram bot at https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8). It hit a peak market cap of $41 million, now standing at $34.7 million with a current price of $0.034. Notably, the rally came without any positive news or community-driven narrative. While monitoring platforms have found no linked risks, caution is still urged. Market analysts attribute the surge to potential institutional activity. BlockBeats reminds users: Meme coin trading is highly volatile, driven largely by market sentiment and speculative hype, with no real value or use cases. Investors should be mindful of the risks.
