As users in Europe and the United States gradually return from holidays, market activity has increased, although the primary theme this week remains adjustment, with no sustained hotspots. Later this month, the new U.S. President, Donald Trump, is set to officially take office, and market expectations for 2025 are optimistic. However, recent corrections in U.S. stocks have introduced uncertainty, and the likelihood of maintaining the status quo in this month's interest rate meeting suggests a lack of short-term positive catalysts.

Despite these factors, the deepening integration of mainstream finance with the crypto market, along with the U.S. government and major corporations holding Bitcoin reserves, presents long-term benefits for the crypto market. The year 2025 may witness further positive developments.
