Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FXPro, said that the decline in risk appetite may exacerbate Bitcoin's future decline, and in a negative scenario, Bitcoin may fall back to $74,000. But what is certain is that Bitcoin has basically maintained a steady rise since the "pin" on Monday, and returning to the key mark of $90,000 has further enhanced its recovery prospects. In addition, while Wednesday's key CPI report will play an important role in the short term, overly optimistic policy expectations may disappoint the market in the coming weeks.

The UK government has launched a consultation to explore the possibility of a nationwide ban to prevent operators of critical national infrastructure from succumbing to the demands of ransomware cybercriminals. In a proposal on January 14, the Home Office proposed a "targeted ban" on ransomware payments for all public sector agencies and critical national infrastructure (such as energy, health services and local councils), expanding the existing ban on government departments. British Security Secretary Dan Jarvis said the move is aimed at cutting off the source of ransoms for cybercriminals and thus protecting national security. He said: "These proposals will help us address the scale of the ransomware threat, hit the wallets of these criminal networks, and cut off the key funding channels on which they rely to operate." In January 2023, the Royal Mail suffered a cyberattack, which brought the international transportation of parcels and letters to its branches to a standstill; in August 2022, the Advanced Computer Software Group, a provider of medical service software, suffered a cyberattack, which resulted in the leakage of personal data of nearly 83,000 people. The government office also said that as of August 2024, the National Cybersecurity Center handled 430 cyber incidents, including 13 incidents of "national significance" that "caused serious damage to essential services or the economy as a whole."

According to Odaily, South Korea's Financial Services Commission convened a meeting on Wednesday to outline key objectives of an upcoming legislative proposal. Kim So-young, Vice Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission, highlighted that major global economies are expediting the establishment of cryptocurrency regulations to enhance investor protection and eliminate regulatory uncertainties. South Korea's first cryptocurrency regulatory framework came into effect in July of last year, following its legislative approval a year earlier. This framework aims to safeguard cryptocurrency investors by imposing stricter requirements on exchanges. For instance, service providers are mandated to store at least 80% of user cryptocurrency deposits in cold wallets, separate from their own funds. The meeting also addressed topics such as increasing transparency in the listing of new cryptocurrencies on exchanges and enforcing disclosure requirements for crypto entities similar to those for traditional financial companies. Regarding stablecoin regulation, authorities reviewed global practices concerning the management of reserve assets by issuers and the redemption rights of users.
