ChainCatcher news, Riot Platforms Vice President of Research Pierre Rochard pointed out that the biggest obstacle to the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (SBR) plan does not come from the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, banks, or Elizabeth Warren, but from Ripple/XRP.

ChainCatcher news, OKX President Hong stated in an interview with CoinDesk that although DEX trading volume on the OKX platform has increased by 20 times, DEX and CEX are not opposing forces but rather complementary. Hong added that crypto-native users need the reliability of CEX while leveraging DEX to capture innovative opportunities. She stated that this supply-demand dynamic will drive further adoption of DEX to achieve innovation, while also supporting the gradual maturation of the regulatory framework for the crypto industry.In addition, when discussing the dynamics of the Trump administration's proposal to "make Bitcoin a national strategic reserve," Hong expressed a cautious attitude but did not rule out the possibility that smaller sovereign nations or certain states might take the lead in trying it out. The crypto industry is full of uncertainties, and anything is possible. Hong further pointed out that if the Trump administration fails to deliver on its crypto promises, it could quickly dampen the bull market. In her view, the biggest potential risk remains the issue of excessive centralization. The best solution to this is self-custody—a "vaccine" that OKX believes the market is rapidly accepting.

ChainCatcher news, OKX President Hong stated in an interview with CoinDesk that discussions surrounding institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies and the risks of centralized custody are driving a significant increase in the popularity of self-custody. Hong pointed out that while the adoption of crypto assets by institutions and the rise of crypto ETFs are positive signals for industry development, these trends have also raised concerns about the risks of custody centralization. She emphasized that in this context, self-custody, as a safer and more transparent solution, will increasingly be favored by crypto-native users.Hong revealed that the total assets held in self-custody wallets on the OKX platform currently amount to nearly $50 billion, surpassing the total assets of its centralized exchange at $30.8 billion. This trend reflects the growing emphasis users place on asset security and autonomy. She also mentioned that by 2025, there will be more educational activities within the industry to help users understand the importance of self-custody and how to use it, while also launching more self-custody products that simplify the user experience and lower the technical barriers and risks involved.

ChainCatcher News: U.S. President Trump will deliver a speech at Davos via video on Thursday at 11 AM Eastern Time (Friday at midnight Beijing Time).

ChainCatcher news, foreign media AXIOS reported that recently Trump tested the new limits of presidential power by launching a meme coin "TRUMP," which made him a cryptocurrency billionaire just two days before his inauguration. Cryptocurrency insiders are concerned that TRUMP and the hastily launched MELANIA meme coin could undermine the credibility that this scam-ridden industry has worked hard to establish over the years.It is worth noting that Trump was once skeptical of cryptocurrencies until his shift during the 2024 campaign. Most Americans are unaware that the U.S. president has virtually no restrictions on profiting from new ventures or business deals using their power. Due to Supreme Court rulings, if a president is accused of exceeding any legal boundaries, they also enjoy immunity for "official actions."Analysis suggests that within just eight hours on inauguration day, Trump expanded the immense public and private powers of the presidency to previously unimaginable levels. While presidents have always been able to pardon, grant favors, or protect friends, family, and allies, no one has ever done so as broadly, as openly, and as quickly as he has, and the public seems unfazed by it.

ChainCatcher news, Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani stated that insiders holding Trump tokens may distribute these supplies, leading to losses for unsuspecting investors, a situation that has occurred in the past with Trump-related assets, especially when the stock of Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group, fluctuated.Gautam Chhugani added that given the rapid surge in the token's market capitalization, the 80% supply held by insiders does put some pressure on it. However, tokens directly related to the president may be more enduring than most tokens, but their ownership structure could diminish their appeal. In this case, meme coins leveraging Trump's brand effect and political image have a certain durability, but since 80% of the insider supply is provided by Trump's affiliates, their longevity will depend on the potential token design.
