U.S. Treasury Announcement Looms

The crypto market holds its breath, eyes fixated on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's impending decision regarding spot bitcoin ETF applications this week. This decision, anticipated to beckon a wave of both retail and institutional investments, represents a watershed moment, potentially unlocking the treasure trove of bitcoin investment.

Yet, the horizon holds more than just this pivotal verdict. The U.S. Treasury's quarterly refinancing announcement (QRA), set for January 29, looms large. The spotlight on borrowing details and bond auction specifics intensifies in a world still grappling with the financial echoes of the pandemic.

Historically, U.S. Treasury bonds are the globe's bastion of safety, their rates serving as a universal yardstick. A recent unexpected dip in these rates sparked a flurry of risk-taking, buoying both bitcoin and stock markets. However, this upcoming announcement may not cast the same favourable glow, warns Quinn Thompson of Maple Finance.

Thompson, in his January 7 newsletter, hints at a potential challenge: the Treasury's probable strategy to leverage the current lower long-end rates to manage debt, a move that might stir the calm waters of the U.S. Treasury securities.

As markets teeter on the brink of these significant announcements, the intricate dance of government decisions, market expectations, and investor sentiment continues. The crypto world, coupled with the broader financial sphere, watches and waits, poised for the ripple effects of these pivotal moments.

LayerZero officials said on Discord: "Using Merkly does not mean that the airdrop amount will be zero. If you have only used Merkly, then you are likely a witch. If you are a real user performing normal operations, then there is no problem (you should be fine)."

세이프DAO, 4/23 SAFE 토큰 양도 금지 제한 해제
스냅샷에 따르면 디지털 자산 관리 플랫폼 세이프(SAFE·구 노시스 세이프) DAO가 토큰 양도 컨트랙트 제한으로 이체가 금지됐던 SAFE 토큰 양도 제한을 오는 4월 23일(현지시간) 해제하기로 결정했다. SAFE는 FTX가 붕괴하기 시작한 2022년 10월 에어드랍을 통해 출시되는 바람에 시장 혼란에 따른 토큰 가격 급락을 방지하고자 당시 SAFE 홀더들이 토큰 락업(출금 컨트랙트 일시 중단)에 투표한 바 있다. 15일 9시 13분 마감된 SAFE 토큰 양도 제한 해제 관련 거버넌스 제안은 총 99.1%의 찬성표를 받아 통과됐으며, 베스팅 기간이 남아 있는 토큰까지 언락되는 것은 아니다.

"Fed's mouthpiece": Government shutdown means key interest rate hike node will be postponed
Odaily Planet Daily News Nick Timiraos, "Fed's mouthpiece", said that Federal Reserve officials are walking a tightrope. They must curb inflation while avoiding an unnecessary severe economic slowdown. A prolonged government shutdown means they may have to "walk a tightrope blindfolded." If the U.S. Congress fails to pass a temporary financing measure by Sunday, the closure of some institutions may delay the release of the latest economic data on wages, employment, inflation and output. Timiraos pointed out that a government shutdown lasting more than two weeks may prevent officials from obtaining key information at the November interest rate meeting to decide whether to raise interest rates.

Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: The list of new applicants only means that they are applying for a license, not that they have been issued a license
Odaily Planet Daily News The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will publish four lists of virtual asset platforms online, including a list of new applicants. Huang Lexin, director of the financial technology group, said that the list allows investors to know whether trading platforms have made false statements in applying for licenses. He also emphasized that all trading platforms on the list are only applying for licenses and have not been issued licenses. If investors want to trade, they should refer to the list of licensed trading platforms issued by the Securities Regulatory Commission. Huang Lexin also said that there are initially four institutions on the applicant list. CEO Liang Fengyi said that the trading platforms on the applicant list do not mean that they meet all the requirements of the regulatory framework. (RTHK website)

Safe community votes again on proposal to enable token transferability
The Safe Community Forum, a digital asset management platform, once again launched a proposal to "vote to enable token transferability in June 2023", aiming to realize the transferability of SAFE tokens. About eight months ago, SAFE tokens were eligible to be claimed, but the transferability of the tokens was locked in as a function of the smart contract, the proposal said. However, locking up SAFE governance tokens will prevent other users from participating in SAFE governance, and early adopters and contributors who hold tokens will not be able to give up governance rights, thus leading to centralization. Previously, SEP #2 was submitted to the community, but the community voted to delay the transferability of SAFE tokens. The proposal proposes to override the 5 milestones of SEP #3 and enable token transferability. At the same time, the proposal should be designated as a formal SEP immediately and not posted on the Snapshot.
