According to Odaily, the U.S. dollar remains stable ahead of the release of employment data, which could provide insights into the timing of the Federal Reserve's next interest rate cut. The ADP employment figures for December and the JOLTs job openings for November are scheduled to be released tonight at 21:15 and 23:00 UTC+8, respectively. Additionally, the ISM services data will be published. However, the primary focus for the market this week is the U.S. non-farm payroll report set for release on Friday. If signs of a weakening labor market become more evident, it may lead the market to anticipate an earlier rate cut. LSEG data indicates that the probability of a rate cut in March is currently balanced, but a rate cut is fully priced in by June.

According to PANews, Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi expressed on the X platform that 2026 will mark the beginning of the financial blockchain era, with stablecoins and Ethereum being crucial infrastructures. Yi noted that WLFI recently exchanged BTC for ETH, reflecting similar strategic thinking. He outlined three future paths for WLFI: firstly, USD1 is expected to surpass $10 billion in the short term, $100 billion in the medium term, and capture a trillion-dollar share in the $3 trillion stablecoin market in the long term. Secondly, USD1 plans to collaborate with Web2 companies with millions of active users, leveraging the advantages of stablecoin payments over traditional Visa to bring billions of users into the blockchain and stablecoin ecosystem. Thirdly, in the future multi-trillion-dollar financial blockchain market, USD1 aims to become a key infrastructure by utilizing its brand, compliance, B2B, and user advantages. This strategic reasoning underpins their significant investments in ETH and WLFI.

According to BlockBeats, crypto influencer Wimar.X (@DefiWimar) has suggested that January 10 could become the "worst day of the year" for markets. This prediction is based on the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court may rule U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs illegal, an event currently estimated to have a 78% probability on Polymarket. Such a ruling could lead to a significant downturn in U.S. stocks, cryptocurrencies, and bonds. Wimar.X argues that historical precedents indicate that a ruling of "tariffs illegal" could trigger massive tariff refunds, potentially reaching up to $600 billion. However, these refunds typically require years of litigation, resulting in a delayed cash flow impact. Community members have expressed skepticism about the scale of the potential tariff refunds, suggesting that the anticipated market volatility could present trading opportunities rather than a market collapse. Tom Lee also shared the article, commenting that it might serve as a contrarian indicator.
