    Analyst: The stagnation of stablecoin supply indicates market risks, and if CPI data is higher than expected, it may trigger a significant pullback
    According to CoinDesk, analyst Omkar Godbole pointed out that although Bitcoin has rebounded quickly from below $90,000, the stagnation of stablecoin supply may indicate market risks. Glassnode data shows that the total supply of the four major stablecoins USDT, USDC, BUSD and DAI remains at 189 billion dollars, with a net change of only 0.37% in 30 days, indicating a lack of new funds entering the market. Analysts believe that if the upcoming U.S. CPI data is higher than expected, coupled with last Friday's strong employment report, it could exacerbate market concerns about the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts being less than expected and trigger significant downward fluctuations.

    Canary releases and Japanese Listed Companies increase their holdings of Bitcoin again, further demonstrating the trend of market institutionalization
    On January 15th, according to Arkham's monitoring data, Canary Release invested in purchasing 142.717 bitcoins from the CEX hot wallet in the past 20 hours, with a total value of about $13.11 million. This move marks Canary Release's continued consolidation of its position as one of the world's largest digital asset management institutions while maintaining strong confidence in the market.   Meanwhile, Japan's Listed Company Remixpoint also recently announced its latest bitcoin increase. According to reports, the company completed the purchase of 33.34 bitcoins on January 14, bringing its total holdings to 333.189. This increase is part of its 3 billion yen additional purchase plan, indicating its intention to seize the opportunity to buy on dips during market fluctuations.   Combining the actions of the two major institutions, the institutionalization trend of the Bitcoin market has further emerged. The continuous purchase of Canary Release and the strategic layout of Japanese companies indicate that Bitcoin not only continues to attract the attention of mainstream institutions internationally, but is also being seen as an Asset Allocation tool to cope with economic uncertainty. This dynamic injects new liquidity into the market and may also provide important support for price trends.
