Rewards Hub I. Crypto Market Overview
Key Takeaways
1.
Macro Environment
Global markets are focused on the release of US January CPI and China CPI/PPI data, which are expected to influence risk sentiment and monetary policy outlook. The launch of CME futures for Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar marks a significant step in institutional crypto adoption. Regulatory attention remains high, with MiCA compliance deadlines in Europe and evolving frameworks in Asia shaping cross-border crypto flows.
2.
Crypto Market
The crypto market experienced broad declines over the past 12 hours, with BTC down 3.5% to $68,675 and ETH down 4.8% to $2,016, pressured by weak risk sentiment and ETF outflows. Most major altcoins, including SOL (-5.3%), ADA (-4.0%), LINK (-4.3%), and XLM (-4.1%), also fell. Notable gainers were Decred (DCR, +11.7%) and Humanity Protocol (H, +11.7%), driven by increased staking and renewed interest in decentralized identity. CME’s launch of ADA, LINK, and XLM futures expanded institutional access but did not offset overall market weakness.
3.
Today's Outlook
Today, the launch of CME futures for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) is expected to boost institutional participation in crypto derivatives. The release of US January CPI and China CPI/PPI data will be closely watched, as these inflation indicators could drive volatility across both traditional and crypto markets.
