This week (January 19 to January 23), the global political and economic stage, along with the cryptocurrency market, will witness a series of key events, from Trump's return to the Davos Forum to the release of inflation data closely watched by the Federal Reserve, as well as token splits, airdrops, and auctions within the crypto industry, making it a week full of highlights. Below is a summary of the daily news.

January 19 (Monday): Davos Reopens and Token Splits

Trump Leads Delegation Back to Davos

● After six years, U.S. President Trump will once again appear at the World Economic Forum (Davos).

● According to a statement from the forum organizers, Trump will deliver a highly anticipated speech at this year's annual meeting. More than 60 heads of state and government leaders are expected to attend, discussing global key challenges. Bloomberg reports that Trump plans to lead a "large-scale American business delegation" to Switzerland.

MANTRA Completes Token Split and Brand Upgrade

● Layer1 blockchain MANTRA will conduct a token upgrade today as planned, splitting the original OM token into a new MANTRA token at a ratio of 1:4.

● The project's CEO stated that this move aims to simplify the token economic structure and increase flexibility to attract institutional funds. For users holding OM on the MANTRA chain, the conversion will occur automatically; however, users holding on external networks like EVM will need to migrate manually to avoid asset retention.

ETHGas Airdrop Snapshot

● The Ethereum gas fee tracking project ETHGas will take a snapshot of eligibility for its token GWEI airdrop at 00:00 (UTC) on January 19. According to its published economic model, the total supply of GWEI is 10 billion, with 31% allocated to the ecosystem and 27% to investors.

Other Updates

● WorldAssets announced that its RWA (Real World Assets) trading platform RWAX DEX is launching today, aiming to integrate the issuance, information disclosure, and trading of RWA assets.

January 20 (Tuesday): A Relatively Calm Interlude

● LayerZero Token Unlock: The cross-chain protocol LayerZero's token ZRO will unlock approximately 25.71 million tokens at 7 PM Beijing time on January 20, valued at about $44.5 million. The large-scale token unlock may increase market circulation, and its potential impact on token prices should be monitored.

● Space Project Announces Allocation Results: The leveraged prediction market project Space raised over $20 million in its public sale, and the token allocation process will be announced on January 20.

January 21 (Wednesday): Old Cases and New Beginnings in Crypto

Caroline Ellison Released Early

● Former co-CEO of Alameda Research Caroline Ellison is expected to be released from federal custody today.

● Ellison received a significant sentence reduction for cooperating in the FTX fraud case and providing key testimony. She was originally sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion, but she served about 14 months, approximately 10 months earlier than her original sentence. Additionally, she agreed to a 10-year ban from serving as an executive in publicly traded companies or cryptocurrency exchanges.

● Her release contrasts sharply with that of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who remains in prison with a 25-year sentence.

ZAMA Token Auction Begins

● The fully homomorphic encryption network Zama has adjusted the timing of its Dutch auction for its native token ZAMA to take place from January 21 to 24, with token distribution set to begin on February 2. This auction will sell 10% of the total token supply.

Solana Mobile Airdrop Open for Claiming

● The previously announced SKR airdrop from Solana Mobile officially opens for claiming at 02:00 (UTC) today. This airdrop will distribute nearly 2 billion SKR, covering over 100,000 users and 188 developers. After claiming, the tokens can be staked for rewards.

Binance Order and Contract Adjustments

● Binance will automatically cancel all unfilled spot and leveraged orders created before January 1, 2024, at 07:00 (UTC) today.

● Binance contracts will delist and settle four USDT perpetual contracts, including BIDUSDT and DMCUSDT, at 09:00 (UTC) today.

January 22 (Thursday): Key U.S. Economic Data Released

U.S. Inflation and Employment Market Data

At 21:30 Beijing time on January 23 (due to time difference, corresponding to January 22 Eastern Time), the U.S. will release a series of significant economic data:

● November Core PCE Price Index Year-on-Year/Month-on-Month: This is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator, and the market will assess the progress of U.S. inflation decline based on this.

● Initial Jobless Claims for the Week Ending January 17: This data is used to observe the health of the U.S. labor market.

On the same day, the crypto bug bounty platform Immunefi will conduct its first token generation event (TGE) for its native token IMU.

January 23 (Friday): Bank of Japan Decision and Airdrop Deadline

Bank of Japan Monetary Policy Meeting

The Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision and economic outlook report today, followed by a press conference by Governor Kazuo Ueda. In June of last year, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 0.5% and announced a gradual reduction in government bond purchases starting in April 2026. This meeting will set the tone for this year's monetary policy path.

Meteora Airdrop Claim Deadline

The claim window for the MET token airdrop from the Solana ecosystem dynamic liquidity protocol Meteora will close today. Tokens not claimed by the deadline will be returned to the community reserve pool for future incentives.

Summary and Outlook

Next week will be information-rich, with macro and micro-level events intertwined:

● At the macro level: The geopolitical signals from the Davos Forum, U.S. core PCE inflation data, and the Bank of Japan's policy statements will collectively influence global market risk sentiment.

● At the crypto industry level: There are both significant old case milestones like Caroline Ellison's release and active dynamics from new projects such as MANTRA splits, ZAMA auctions, and SKR and MET airdrops, indicating the industry's ongoing evolution.

Market participants are advised to pay close attention to the actual values of U.S. inflation data compared to market expectations, as this may directly impact the Federal Reserve's monetary policy expectations, subsequently affecting the crypto market and other risk assets.
