A Pacifica high-frequency trader achieved a 2x return on investment, with an expected trading volume that would earn approximately 40,000 points.
As of January 14, official data from Pacifica shows that since its Pacifica Points program launched, the platform has drawn numerous traders to open positions—both to chase market gains and accumulate points.
A high-frequency trading address (4TYE) began ramping up trading volume to earn points on November 25. With an initial outlay of ~$300,000, it generated $1.2 billion in trading volume, netted nearly $650,000 in profits (doubling its initial investment), and now tops the monthly profit leaderboard.
Analysis of community traders who’ve already claimed points suggests this address could accumulate ~47,000 points from its trading volume. If the points program runs for another 22 weeks and the airdrop allocation is 25%, the address is projected to receive ~53,000 tokens.

Analysis: Bitcoin OG Whale Selling Pressure Eases Significantly, Shifts to Hodling Instead of Distribution
**Bitcoin OG Whale On-Chain Activity, Selling Pressure Drop Sharply**
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted on Jan. 14 that on-chain activity for Bitcoin “OG whales” — holders who haven’t touched their BTC in 5+ years — has plummeted.
Notably, this cycle offered OG whales an almost perfect selling window: big institutional capital flowed in, and even government-linked buyers joined as the cycle unfolded. Still, their selling at cycle highs has been tapering off.
The 90-day moving average of sending TXOs (STXOs) for these whales peaked at ~2,300 BTC recently but has since dropped sharply, now hovering around just 1,000 BTC. This signals their sell pace has slowed, with heavy selling pressure easing significantly. The current dominant trend leans more toward holding than selling.

MTE: U.S. Midterm Election Outlook Indicates Strength in U.S. Stocks and Crypto Assets, Dip Still a Buying Opportunity
On January 14, QCP released its daily market analysis, noting:
U.S. employment remains solid, inflation stable. Risk sentiment has fully rebounded, with gains across risk assets—stocks, precious metals, the U.S. dollar, and crypto. While news circulates about Venezuela, Iran, and U.S. involvement, markets stay largely calm. Crude oil carries a geopolitical risk premium, but the broader trend remains resilient.
More practically, investors are framing current conditions through the U.S. midterm elections: Markets expect Trump to lean on liquidity and a stronger U.S. stance to lift performance, support U.S. asset outperformance, and drive global “risk-on” mood. After multiple failed attempts to break above, Bitcoin has finally topped $95,000. If precious metals keep benefiting from currency devaluation trades, Bitcoin’s relative value edge could draw funds back to digital assets again.
Key risks still loom: the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling and further escalation in Ve
