According to the latest "January 2026 Private Wealth Management Monthly Report" released by Gate, the crypto market experienced a sell-off in January, with BTC and ETH dropping by 10% and 18% respectively. In the overall pressured market environment, the Gate Private Wealth Quantitative Fund performed relatively steadily, with the USDT strategy achieving a return rate of 6.7% over the past year. The report noted that the Interstellar Hedge (USDT) strategy stood out with a monthly annualized return rate of 5.0%, while the Quantum Leap (USDT) and Interstellar Hedge (USDT) strategies have achieved a 100% monthly win rate since their inception. The annualized return rate of the top 30% portfolio in January reached 4.5%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin and U.S. Treasury yields.From an overall perspective, Walsh's appointment is not sufficient to be interpreted as a comprehensive tightening of monetary policy stance; the mainstream market expectation still believes there is room for two rate cuts this year. Although adjustments in monetary policy expectations and increased phase selling have intensified market volatility, historical data indicates that we are more likely in a market consolidation phase, with long-term structural trends still having development potential.

At the "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum recently held by ChainCatcher in Hong Kong, Art Abal, Managing Director of the Vana Foundation, delivered a speech on the topic of "Why Data is Crucial for Building AI." He systematically elaborated on the core value of data as "context" in an AI-driven era, and how users can regain data sovereignty and unlock its potential economic value through decentralized technology.Art Abal pointed out that there is a serious data monopoly issue in the current AI ecosystem. The vast majority of consumers rely solely on a single general-purpose AI assistant and rarely use other major models, leading to the centralization of data and context. Meanwhile, large tech companies have been continuously restricting API access, terminating free services, and planning to charge fees in recent years, effectively depriving users of control over their own data and its contextual value.In response, Vana has proposed a comprehensive solution. First, by developing tools that enable users to truly own their data; second, by establishing protocols to achieve cross-platform portability of data; and finally, by building an ecosystem that encompasses applications, data DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), and services to unlock the deeper value of data.He concluded that in the AI era, data is context, and context is the key to differentiation. Vana's mission is to return the control of data, context, and its economic value to every user through decentralized protocols and ecosystems, in order to build a more open and fair data value internet.

According to Fortune, in the past two weeks, Rick Rieder's odds of becoming the next Federal Reserve Chair on Polymarket have surged to nearly 50%, clearly leading over the second-ranked Kevin Warsh (29%) and the third-ranked Christopher Waller (6%). Rieder's career has been almost entirely on the front lines of the global bond market, working as a trader and asset manager, deeply involved in the market, interpreting and profiting from central bank policy signals. Simply put, no one understands the bond market better than Rick Rieder. And in Trump's policy decision-making, nothing is more important than "whether the bond market is up or down."Currently, Rieder is responsible for BlackRock's global fixed income business, managing up to $2.4 trillion, which accounts for about one-sixth of the $14 trillion in assets under management at the world's largest asset management firm. A former CEO who worked with Rieder described him as "extremely personable" and stated that Rieder "has a very good understanding of how the market operates and is able to maintain independent judgment."If Rieder takes over as Federal Reserve Chair in May, he will face extremely daunting challenges. His stance on the federal funds rate has long been clear and is more aligned with Trump's camp. In an interview with CNBC on January 12, Rieder stated, "The Fed needs to lower rates to 3% (currently 3.50%--3.75%), which I believe is closer to a balanced level." The problem is that the Fed is currently implementing two policies that could potentially raise inflation. In mid-December last year, the central bank reversed its previous quantitative tightening (QT) policy. Additionally, the Fed is also reducing the amount of reserves that banks must hold at the central bank.
