On February 13, news broke that an old tweet from 2020 was recently rediscovered in the crypto community. Michael J. Casey, then an executive at CoinDesk and now Chairman of DAIS Global, once commented "Game Over" on a platform suspending XRP trading after U.S. regulators sued Ripple. At the time, this statement was seen as a final judgment on XRP's fate and deepened market concerns about its prospects in the United States. However, the reality did not unfold as predicted. In mid-2023, a U.S. federal court ruled that XRP traded on secondary markets does not qualify as a security. This ruling marked a turning point, and subsequently, several major U.S. trading platforms restored XRP trading permissions. Since then, XRP has gradually emerged from regulatory shadows and re-entered the mainstream market.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of Bitcoin has fallen below 30, entering the typical "oversold" zone. This technical signal indicates that recent selling pressure has significantly exceeded buying interest, and the market's short-term momentum is weakening, suggesting a potential technical correction in price. However, analysts warn that oversold conditions do not necessarily indicate a trend reversal and should not be directly interpreted as the start of a new bull market. RSI was introduced by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978, primarily measuring the price changes over the past 14 days, with values ranging from 0 to 100. When the indicator drops below 30, it is generally interpreted as the market declining too rapidly, with sentiment leaning toward extremes. Many quantitative models and short-term traders look for rebound opportunities within this range, which also gives "oversold rebounds" a certain self-fulfilling effect.

January 29 News, controversy has once again erupted within the U.S. Congress over cryptocurrency regulation. Six senators recently co-signed a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd W. Blanche, questioning potential undisclosed conflicts of interest related to his efforts to reduce enforcement of U.S. digital assets. The signatory senators include Elizabeth Warren, Mazie K. Hirono, Richard J. Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Christopher A. Coons, and Richard Blumenthal. The letter states that Blanche, when issuing a memorandum titled "Ending Enforcement Through Prosecution" in April 2025, still held approximately $158,000 to $470,000 worth of crypto assets, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum. The memorandum called for prosecutors to avoid taking action against platforms themselves and to focus enforcement on individuals using cryptocurrencies for criminal activities.

On Monday, MicroBT officially launched its new generation of WhatsMiner mining machines—the M70 series—in Abu Dhabi. Despite Bitcoin mining revenues currently being at multi-year lows, the company has chosen to introduce a product line with higher energy efficiency. The M70 series covers three efficiency tiers: 12.5 J/TH, 13.5 J/TH, and 14.5 J/TH, offering both air-cooled and water-cooled models. The single-unit hashrate ranges from the entry-level M70 at around 214 TH/s to the rack-mounted M79S at over 1 PH/s, targeting ultra-large-scale mining farms and advanced energy solutions. This launch comes at a time when mining economics are extremely tight. According to market data, Bitcoin hashprice has dropped to about $35 per PH/s/day, nearing historic lows; meanwhile, network hashrate remains above 1 ZH/s, increasing revenue pressure on miners. Record-high mining difficulty combined with price corrections has significantly slowed miner demand, and ASIC manufacturers are generally facing challenges such as extended inventory and order cycles.
