Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded in the short term, trading around $91,250 on January 9th. U.S. President Trump stated he has decided on a Federal Reserve chair candidate, with Kevin Warsh emerging as the leading contender in prediction markets. JPMorgan Chase plans to expand its JPM Coin deposit token across multiple blockchain networks to establish “interoperable digital currencies.”
U.S. President Trump stated in an interview with The New York Times that he has decided who to nominate as the next Federal Reserve chair but did not reveal the choice. “I’ve made my decision in my mind, but I haven’t discussed it with anyone.” When asked about his chief economic advisor Hassett, Trump said “I don’t want to say,” but called Hassett “absolutely one of the people I like.” Regardless of Trump’s choice, the next Fed chair will inherit an institution at a critical moment, positioned at the center of an unprecedented push by the president to significantly lower interest rates. Prediction market Kalshi shows Kevin Warsh has a 41% probability of becoming Fed chair, Kevin Hassett 39%, and Christopher Waller 12%.
JPMorgan Chase expands blockchain ambitions and plans to establish “interoperable digital currencies.” JPMorgan Chase plans to expand its JPM Coin deposit token across multiple blockchain networks, including the privacy-focused Canton Network. The bank aims to create a regulated, interoperable digital currency system for near-instantaneous institutional payments. JPMorgan Chase coins representing U.S. dollar deposits are currently available to institutional clients on Ethereum Layer 2 network infrastructure.

Phyrex Ni (@Phyrex_Ni): “Recent analysis has been difficult to write. Market sentiment remains slightly volatile. The Venezuela situation is proceeding as market expectations predicted. The U.S. has begun communicating with Venezuela about oil import issues. If resolved smoothly, it could help lower oil prices and reduce U.S. inflation. However, I personally believe the focus this week remains on Friday’s two events.”
“Friday’s two events are both very important. One is the non-farm employment data release. Currently, both positive and negative unemployment data appear positive. Rising unemployment may increase expectations for Fed rate cuts, while falling unemployment indicates the U.S. economy remains optimistic. However, no rate adjustment in January is likely, with adjustments after March becoming more about direct negotiations between Trump and the Fed, though still January.”
“The other more important matter is that tomorrow the Supreme Court may announce its decision on Trump’s tariffs. If it rules Trump’s tariffs illegal, it would benefit U.S. inflation relief and help the Fed choose rate cuts, but it could be difficult for Trump and his administration, potentially impacting Trump’s approval ratings.”
“Looking at Bitcoin data, the 90,000 USD barrier seems to have been broken. Even though it fell below 90,000 USD yesterday, today with U.S. stocks declining, BTC returned above 90,000 USD, showing a different trend from U.S. stocks. Of course, it’s too early to draw conclusions. We need to see market changes after Friday’s non-farm data and Trump tariff results. Stabilizing above 90,000 USD would be decent.”
“The chip structure continues to change. Investors around 87,000 USD are still participating in position turnover. The current stabilization period is still short, not yet forming stable bottom-building consolidation. Instead, investors around 90,000 USD remain relatively stable. Let’s see after tomorrow.”
