Fed January Decision Landed: Benchmark Interest Rate Unchanged, Policy Could Be Relaxed if Tariff Inflation Peaks and Then Falls
**Fed Holds Rates Steady in 2026 First Decision; Gold, Silver Extend Gains**
Beijing time, January 29 at 3:00 am — The Federal Reserve announced its first interest rate decision of 2026 early Wednesday: it will keep the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%, pausing three consecutive rate cuts since September 2025. The move aligns with market expectations.

Lightning启动LIT Staking Admission Mechanism: LLP Limit Tied to Staking Amount, Uncovered Portion Will Be Gradually Returned
On January 29, Lighter announced via social media a new rule: users must stake LIT tokens to gain access to LLP.
For LLP allocations exceeding staked LIT coverage (1 LIT covers 10 USDC), the team will gradually refund the excess to users. Starting tomorrow, daily refunds will cap at the higher of 3% of the uncovered amount or 100 USDC, with funds sent directly to users’ USDC balances.
The mechanism aims to better align the interests of LIT stakers and LLP holders. Critically, LLP allocations are now verifiable—rules have been encoded into a zero-knowledge proof (ZK) circuit.
In two weeks, traders will be able to use LLP as collateral, a move that will boost Lighter’s capital efficiency and enhance the utility of both LLP and staked LIT.
