XRP the hottest crypto trade has emerged as the standout performer to start 2026, surging 25% and briefly topping a $130 billion market cap—securing fourth place behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to make a ruling on Friday regarding the legality of Trump's tariff policies, risking over billion in potential refunds. The case questions whether the president's imposition of tariffs under emergency economic powers exceeds legal limits, with lower courts already challenging the justification for the tariffs. If the government loses, importers who have paid tariffs may be eligible for refunds, which could put financial pressure on the government and disrupt trade relations. The market is on high alert, with trade and manufacturing stocks, the foreign exchange market, and cryptocurrencies potentially experiencing sharp volatility, as demand for safe-haven assets increases.

Written by: Blockchain Knight At the beginning of 2026, Bitcoin broke through $94,000, reaching a new high in over a month, marking the end of the market stagnation that persisted at the end of 2025. Compared to the dull performance of the same period last year, this rebound has achieved a decisive reversal in market sentiment. The core driving forces are favorable macroeconomic conditions, recovering institutional demand, and healthy market mechanisms. On the macro level, the shift in the US economic landscape provides support for Bitcoin. First, the US Treasury yield curve has moved away from the inversion seen in 2022-2024, with short-term easing expectations coexisting with long-term high yields, prompting re-pricing of duration risk and credit risk. Second, the structural weakening of the US dollar, although still solid, is controlled in its depreciation. Policy directions are enhancing trade competitiveness, and this combination benefits assets with defensive characteristics. Meanwhile, at the end of 2025, ETF

The Korean stock market, driven by optimistic expectations for the AI industry and foreign capital inflows, has risen for four consecutive days to 4,551.06 points on the KOSPI.

The KOSDAQ index declined for two consecutive days, mainly due to selling pressure on machinery and electrical electronics stocks. The Korean won against the US dollar remains strong, and international oil prices have fallen. The US stock market rose, while the Japanese and Hong Kong markets declined.

1. Introduction In early January Beijing time, a message circulated on overseas social platforms and multiple crypto communities: the U.S. government has taken strong actions regarding the Venezuela situation, drawing significant attention from the international community. Almost simultaneously, a trading record on a decentralized prediction platform was rapidly amplified and discussed by the market. Data shows that within just four days starting from December 27, 2025, an account on the prediction market platform Polymarket invested approximately $32,537 USD, continuously betting on the event that "Venezuelan President Maduro will step down before January 31." Notably, this account concentrated large positions just hours before the related news was widely discussed externally. At that time, the market's overall pricing of the likelihood of the event was not high, around 6%. As the situation evolved and the United States

The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on January 9 whether Trump's global tariff policy is legal. The policy has generated $200 billion in revenue for federal finances. The court may issue three possible rulings, and the outcome will affect the U.S. president's authority over trade and the global supply chain. If found unconstitutional, the government will face a complex refund process, but it does not rule out the possibility that the executive branch could continue exerting pressure through other means.

At the beginning of 2026, decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket announced a significant partnership with on-chain real estate data platform Parcl to jointly launch prediction markets based on major city housing price indices. This move marks the official entry of prediction markets into the massive traditional real estate sector, providing users with a new tool to trade housing price trends without owning property. However, the pace of business innovation coincides with regulatory scrutiny. New York State Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres simultaneously proposed the "Financial Prediction Market Public Integrity Act," aimed at prohibiting federal officials from trading on policy-related prediction markets using non-public information, directly targeting the previously controversial "Maduro arrest" prediction event. On one side, the business expansion into a trillion-dollar market is aggressive; on the other, legislative bodies are seriously concerned about market fairness and political risks. Prediction markets, as an emerging phenomenon, are standing at a critical crossroads.

An astonishing prediction market trade is triggering an earthquake in US regulation. Before the news of Venezuelan President Maduro's arrest was made public, traders invested approximately $32,000 on the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket, betting that he would "step down before January 31, 2026." After the news broke, this trade quickly yielded profits of over $400,000, with an astonishing return. Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain further discovered that three related wallets collectively profited over $630,000 from this event. This series of seemingly insider trading transactions directly prompted US Representative Ritchie Torres to announce the introduction of the "2026 Financial Prediction Market Public Integrity Act," aimed at prohibiting government officials and employees from using their positions to trade in political prediction markets. This controversy marks the first time that the rapidly growing crypto prediction market faces the same stringent insider trading regulatory scrutiny as traditional financial markets.

A prediction market trade surrounding the fate of Venezuelan President Maduro is triggering an urgent crackdown in U.S. politics on a new realm of "insider trading." According to reports, a user invested approximately $32,500 on Polymarket, betting that Maduro would step down before January 31, and after the news of his arrest was made public, they made a profit of over $400,000, with a return rate of more than 1,200%. This move has sparked significant "insider information" controversy because some trades occurred just hours before the official announcement. In response, U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres is about to introduce the "2026 Financial Prediction Market Public Integrity Act," aimed at prohibiting federal officials from using non-public information obtained through their duties in prediction market trading, extending the principles of the Securities Act to this emerging field, which had a trading volume of over $44 billion in 2025.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both hit new stock price highs on their first trading day of 2026, fueling market expectations for the domestic semiconductor industry. The recovery in exports combined with high-value-added memory demand appears to have boosted the stock prices of both companies. On January 2nd, Samsung Electronics closed at 128,500 KRW, up 7.17% from the previous trading day, breaking the 120,000 KRW mark for the first time at the close.

As 2026 approaches, the Bitcoin market is facing a clear macro risk: the tariff agenda of U.S. President Donald Trump. Looking back at 2025, the cryptocurrency market has experienced profound impacts from tariff headlines on prices, with effects comparable to ETF capital flows. This article delves into the five major tariff risks looming over 2026, including a 100% tariff cliff against China, global baseline tariff hikes, retaliatory digital service taxes targeting Europe, drug tariffs potentially as high as 200%, and expanded secondary tariffs based on sanctions trade. Each measure could rapidly reverse market liquidity and risk sentiment, bringing significant uncertainty to Bitcoin's trajectory. Historical data shows that tariff escalations in 2025 repeatedly triggered widespread sell-offs, with single-day liquidation amounts reaching as high as $19 billion, and the market has yet to fully recover. Investors should closely monitor these policy developments to prepare for potential market storms.

Author: Bloomberg Translation: Saoirse, Foresight News This is yet another year filled with "high certainty bets" and "rapid reversals." From Tokyo's bond trading desks, New York's credit committees, to Istanbul's foreign exchange traders, the markets have brought unexpected gains and caused intense volatility. Gold prices hit record highs, the stock prices of solid mortgage giants swung wildly like "Meme stocks" (stocks driven by social media hype), and a textbook-level arbitrage trade collapsed in an instant. Investors heavily bet on political changes, expanding balance sheets, and fragile market narratives, driving significant stock market rallies and a rush into yield trades, while cryptocurrency strategies largely rely on leverage and expectations, lacking other solid support. After Donald Trump returned to the White House, global financial markets first suffered heavy losses and then recovered; European defense stocks ignited a hot trend; speculators
