On January 23rd, according to Bubblemaps, the late entrepreneur and cryptocurrency enthusiast John McAfee's account on Solana released its own AI version of Meme coin AINTI, which involved a large amount of insider trading. Before AINTI was launched, 90% of its supply was sent to multiple addresses and more than $1.5 million has been sold off so far. Bubblemaps added that on January 7th, the deployer of AINTI token began distributing 60% of AINTI to 218 addresses and continued until it was launched. In total, 287 addresses received 90% of the supply. As soon as this token was introduced, it sold out at a price of $1.5 million from just 60 addresses. Other insiders still hold about 71% of the supply.

Standard Chartered Bank's Global Digital Assets Research Director Geoff Kendrick stated that the inflow of institutional investors' funds could drive up the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. He predicts that by the end of 2025, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum will reach $200,000 and $10,000 respectively. He expects that in 2025, institutional funds flowing into Bitcoin will exceed the level in 2024, with additional funds possibly coming from long-term investment funds such as pension funds. At the same time, he pointed out that the inflow of institutional funds may suppress the strength of smaller coins.
