They proposed many clever solutions.The common perception is that Chinese people are good at copying. But the reality is that some details in DeepSeek 3 are outstanding, and I wouldn't be surprised if Meta borrows some of those elements and applies them to the Llama model. This is not to say they are copying, but rather that they are innovating."

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Ark Investment Management founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated in a recent interview: "DeepSeek has brought a shock to the American tech industry, but competition is a good thing. I believe competition is beneficial for the U.S., lowering costs is good for the world, and the decline in innovation costs should help all regions of the world. This field is forming a tug-of-war.American artificial intelligence is like the internet in the early 1990s; we don't even know what we have. Although there was excitement at that time, now is not the time for strict regulation. Trump may like competition in the tech industry. For Bitcoin, the U.S. will gain significant clarity in regulation and will also achieve legislation. Moreover, the executive branch is very supportive of the crypto industry, such as the inclusion of Bitcoin in the Treasury reserves, which has received support from U.S. government departments. This is a huge change."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Bank of America stated that as the global market approaches Donald Trump's inauguration, the U.S. economy remains resilient. The previously released employment data is strong, retail sales data is also robust, and the core inflation rate is at 3.2%, still at a high level within the range. The cyclical and structural dynamics of the U.S. economy are consistent with the natural interest rate, which is quite close to the current Federal Reserve funds rate, but inflation remains stubbornly above the target. Based on this alone, the Federal Reserve has reason to end the easing cycle. The impact of Trump 2.0 in the U.S. and other parts of the world carries significant uncertainty, and protectionist policies may affect inflation expectations. More concerning is that excessive fiscal stimulus could impact the potential for economic performance. Contrary to market pricing, Bank of America believes that the Federal Reserve has completed its rate cuts.

Previously, Bank of America leaned towards a March timeline to allow the Bank of Japan more time to assess the new U.S. government's policies.
