Gnosis (GNO) founder Friederike Ernst stated in an interview with DL News that President Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance and the entry of traditional finance are obscuring the true potential of cryptocurrency. She argued that while large banks and fintech firms are entering the market following the Trump administration's favorable policies, the fundamental purpose of crypto is not to simply enhance existing industries. Instead, Ernst believes cryptocurrency should aim to make platforms, money, and technology work for ordinary people rather than serving as tools for exploitation. She asserted that Wall Street institutions like Robinhood (HOOD) and Bank of America (BOA) would be unable to guarantee crypto's core values of individual sovereignty and ownership. Ernst emphasized that integration with institutional finance could dilute the inherently innovative nature of cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency spot trading volume has halved in three months, Cointelegraph reported. The outlet noted that Binance's BTC trading volume plummeted from $200 billion last October to $104 billion this January. This decline in spot demand is being attributed to a large-scale forced liquidation event on Oct. 10 of last year. Liquidity is being further depleted by stablecoin outflows from exchanges and a decrease in their market capitalization, the report added. Justin d'Anethan, head of research at Arctic Digital, predicted that the biggest risk for BTC in the coming months will be macroeconomic factors, including a potential hawkish turn by the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, he suggested that a resumption of ETF inflows, the enactment of crypto-friendly legislation, and slowing U.S. employment data could act as catalysts for a rebound.

He added that while the rally could continue in the short term, it is likely to remain a short-lived rebound unless accompanied by spot-driven capital inflows and an improved macroeconomic environment.
