Investinglive analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta stated that recent comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the FOMC press conference, which were more dovish than expected, provided support for gold prices. He downplayed inflation risks and emphasized the weakness in the labor market, suggesting that the Fed is more tolerant of higher inflation than of a weak labor market. This week's focus is on the US non-farm payrolls report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Currently, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 57 basis points by the end of 2026. If US economic data is strong, especially regarding the labor market, we may see a hawkish adjustment in market expectations for interest rates, leading to a decline in gold prices. On the other hand, weak data should further support precious metal prices as the market will be pricing in a rate cut in advance. From a broader perspective, due to the Fed's dovish response mechanism, real yields are likely to continue to decline, so gold prices should maintain an upward trend. However, in the short term, further hawkish adjustments in interest rate expectations may put pressure on the market. (Jinshi)

Somnia (SOMI) is positioning itself as one of the most ambitious Layer 1 blockchains in Web3. Designed as an EVM-compatible, ultra-high-performance network, Somnia aims to unlock real-time, fully onchain experiences across metaverse platforms, gaming, AI-driven social applications, and interactive entertainment.Built using advanced technologies such as MultiStream consensus, IceDB, and deterministic compression architecture, Somnia is engineered to deliver Web2-like responsiveness while preserving the core benefits of blockchain: transparency, security, and programmability.Following its Binance debut, Somnia has drawn attention from traders, developers, and builders looking for infrastructure that can finally support real-time applications at scale. To better understand the project’s vision, tokenomics, roadmap, and role within the Binance ecosystem, Binance News sat down with the Somnia team for an in-depth Q&A.1. For users hearing about Somnia for the first time, what is the project’s mission in one sentence, and how does the SOMI token enable it?Somnia is building the fastest EVM Layer 1 blockchain to enable real-time, fully onchain applications that feel as responsive as Web2 experiences.The SOMI token powers every transaction on the network and secures the chain through staking and validator incentives.2. Binance Academy describes Somnia as an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for real-time mass-consumer applications. What core problem does Somnia solve that existing blockchains haven’t fully addressed?Most blockchains simply cannot handle real-time applications. Even high-performance chains that rely on parallel execution models tend to struggle during periods of congestion.Somnia was designed specifically for these stress moments. Whether it’s a viral NFT mint, a major token launch, or a multiplayer game spike, the network is built to run smoothly with predictable fees, even under extreme load.3. Somnia introduces new architecture such as IceDB and MultiStream consensus. How do these innovations improve throughput and user experience?IceDB addresses a fundamental issue most blockchains ignore: database latency variance. Traditional databases like LevelDB or RocksDB can have read times that vary by up to 1,000x, depending on whether data is cached or buried on disk. This makes fair gas pricing almost impossible.IceDB produces a deterministic performance report for every read and write — showing exactly how many cache lines and disk pages were accessed. Because this behavior is consistent across nodes, Somnia can charge gas based on actual resource consumption. Frequently accessed data costs less gas, allowing more transactions per block. IceDB also delivers average read/write operations in 15–100 nanoseconds, with built-in snapshotting that eliminates the need for separate Merkle trees.MultiStream consensus fundamentally changes how data flows through the network. Instead of one validator proposing blocks and broadcasting all transaction data, each validator publishes its own independent data chain. Validators continuously stream their portion of transactions, distributing bandwidth evenly and enabling advanced streaming compression.Combined with BLS signature aggregation — compressing thousands of signatures into a single constant-size signature — and the power-law distribution of transaction data, Somnia achieves effective bandwidth approaching 1 Gbps, unlocking unprecedented throughput.4. How does Somnia balance real-time performance with decentralization and transparency?Decentralization exists on a spectrum. We’re not targeting Bitcoin- or Ethereum-level decentralization, but we aim to be far more decentralized than any infrastructure currently used for real-time applications.Performance is our primary goal, but transparency remains intact — anyone can inspect onchain activity. Applications that require additional privacy can implement it at the application layer, depending on their use case.5. What inspired your team to build Somnia, and what is the long-term vision?We wanted to bring real-time games and metaverse applications fully onchain, but existing blockchains simply couldn’t support that vision.During research, we discovered a scientific paper called “Autobahn: Seamless High-Speed BFT,” which proposed a high-speed blockchain design that had never been implemented. We tested it, found it worked, and spent nearly two years building Somnia around it — alongside many additional innovations that together deliver unprecedented performance.6. SOMI is live on Binance Spot, Futures, and the HODLer Airdrop. How does this support mass adoption?Accessibility is critical. Binance is the largest exchange globally and offers an extremely user-friendly onboarding experience. Listing SOMI across multiple Binance products ensures broad access, deep liquidity, and frictionless entry for users worldwide.7. Beyond trading, what roles does the SOMI token play in the ecosystem?SOMI is used for staking, governance, and transaction fees, but the tokenomics are intentionally unique.50% of all gas fees are burned, permanently removing tokens from circulation. Validators receive fixed allocations rather than inflationary rewards, creating a deflationary economic model over time.8. Are there incentives for long-term holders beyond speculation?Yes. A significant portion of supply is allocated to long-term community incentives, roughly matching the size of the initial airdrop.Rewards are not front-loaded into launch hype. Instead, they are distributed gradually to users who remain active, build, and contribute to the ecosystem.9. How is token supply and vesting structured to reduce post-listing volatility?SOMI has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, with unlocks spread over 48 months.Over 50% of supply is allocated to the community and ecosystemTeam and partners vest over 48 months with a 12-month cliffInvestors and advisors vest over 36 months with a 12-month cliffAirdrop tokens unlocked gradually over 60 daysEcosystem and grant tokens distribute as development progressesThis creates a predictable supply curve aligned with real network adoption, not speculation.10. Are there exclusive Binance campaigns tied to SOMI?Details will be announced separately through official Binance and Somnia channels.11. Why was Binance chosen as the first major exchange listing for SOMI?Binance offers unmatched liquidity depth, which is essential for a Layer 1 designed for mass adoption. It also provides global visibility, placing SOMI in front of millions of active users who may not discover the project through niche channels.12. How do BNB and USDT trading pairs expand reach?The BNB pair connects SOMI directly to the Binance ecosystem, reducing friction for BNB holders.The USDT pair provides a stable entry point for institutional traders and users in regions where USDT dominates, particularly across Asia and emerging markets.13. Are collaborations with Binance Academy or Binance Square planned?Details will be shared as initiatives roll out.14. How will Somnia leverage Binance’s global community?The listing is just the entry point. Adoption accelerates when Binance users start using applications that simply cannot exist on other blockchains.15. What’s next after the Binance listing?Major activations are coming. Users can stay updated via X (Twitter) and the Somnia Substack.16. Key milestones for the next 6–12 months?Adding more validatorsIncreasing TVL and staking participationDriving user acquisition and retention, which is the top priority17. How do you approach responsible trading education?We strongly caution against excessive leverage. Crypto is already volatile, and leverage amplifies risk. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.18. How does Somnia approach security and compliance?Security is layered:Google Cloud + Mandiant for threat intelligence and infrastructure protectionHacken audits for core protocol smart contractsValidator staking requirements (5M SOMI) and slashingInstitutional-grade custody via Fireblocks and BitGo19. Any partnerships driving real-world adoption?Recent partnerships include Basketball.fun with NBA star Tristan Thompson, games like SparkBall, and upcoming prediction market launches in Q1.20. How will Somnia maintain performance at massive scale?The architecture is already proven. Somnia achieved 1M+ TPS in devnet testing and processed 2B+ transactions on testnet over six months without degradation.21. Best way for Binance users to get started?Start with Binance Earn, then explore Spot, and only move to Futures once comfortable.22. How are developers and creators supported?$10M grant programDream Catalyst accelerator for gamesDreamathon incubator for DeFi, AI, and SocialFiOngoing mini-hackathonsQuest platform rewarding real usage23. Educational resources for non-technical users?User-friendly content is available via the Somnia Blog, Substack, and an accessible whitepaper.24. How are early adopters and long-term holders rewarded?Ongoing quest-based rewardsStaking yields with flexible or locked optionsLiquidity incentivesDeflationary mechanics via gas fee burns

Bitcoin’s recent price stagnation below the $90,000–$92,000 range may be driven less by weak demand and more by options-market dynamics, according to market analyst Jeff Park.Despite continued interest from traditional investors — including spot Bitcoin ETF buyers willing to pay premiums for long exposure — long-term Bitcoin holders selling covered call options are exerting persistent downward pressure on spot prices, Park argued.How Covered Calls Are Suppressing BTC PriceCovered calls involve selling call options against an existing Bitcoin position. The seller collects a premium, while granting the buyer the right — but not the obligation — to purchase BTC at a predetermined price in the future.According to Park, large, long-term BTC holders (“OGs” or whales) have increasingly used this strategy to generate yield from coins held for many years.“When you already have Bitcoin inventory that you’ve held for 10-plus years and you sell calls against it, the only new market impact comes from the call selling — and that impact is negative,” Park explained.The key mechanism lies in market maker hedging:Market makers typically buy the call options from whalesTo hedge their exposure, they sell spot BTCThis hedging activity introduces consistent sell-side pressure, even as ETF investors accumulate BTC on the other side of the marketBecause the Bitcoin used to underwrite these calls is not newly acquired, the strategy does not reflect fresh demand or capital inflows — only additional negative delta from options positioning.Options Market Steering Short-Term Price ActionThe result, Park said, is a market where options flows increasingly dictate spot price behavior, leading to choppy, range-bound trading rather than sustained upside momentum.As long as whales continue monetizing their holdings through covered calls, Bitcoin may struggle to break decisively higher, even in the presence of structural demand from institutions.This dynamic helps explain why Bitcoin has lagged risk assets despite favorable macro narratives and expanding access through regulated investment vehicles.Bitcoin Decouples From Stocks as Outlook DivergesBitcoin has notably decoupled from U.S. equities in the second half of 2025, with stock indices posting new highs while BTC retreated toward the $90,000 level.Some analysts continue to expect a renewed Bitcoin rally if the U.S. Federal Reserve resumes its rate-cutting cycle and injects additional liquidity — a historically supportive backdrop for risk assets.However, futures markets currently price only a 24.4% probability of another rate cut at the January FOMC meeting, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.Others remain cautious, warning that Bitcoin could revisit lower support levels near $76,000 if macro conditions tighten further or if options-driven selling persists.What to Watch Going ForwardMarket participants are now closely monitoring:Changes in options open interest and call-selling activityETF inflows relative to spot price responseSigns that long-term holders reduce covered call exposureA shift in any of these factors could alter the balance between derivatives-driven pressure and structural demand — and determine Bitcoin’s next major move.
