4. The founder of Dune stated that on-chain adoption rates will return to the peak levels of 2021 in 2024, with transaction counts three times higher than the 2021 peak.
Dune founder @hagaetc stated on social media, "In 2024, on-chain adoption rates reached the levels of 2021, while surpassing previous historical highs in terms of transfer volume and transaction counts. The overall on-chain adoption is nearly back to the peak of 2021. The Dune on-chain adoption index averaged a peak of 84 in November 2021, while it reached 77 in December 2024. From a weekly data perspective, there were several weeks that reached the adoption levels of the 2021 peak. Fees dropped from $2 billion in November 2021 to $500 million in December 2024. The costs associated with blockchain have significantly decreased. From a certain perspective, this could be interpreted as a decrease in demand, but it may actually be a good thing. Most technologies have deflationary characteristics—lower costs drive greater transaction volumes. The value of on-chain transfers first exceeded past highs at the end of 2024, with January 2022 at $730 million and December 2024 reaching $817 million, with an annualized transfer total of $1 trillion, comparable to Visa's transaction scale. The number of transactions grew threefold compared to the 2021 peak, with December 2024 surpassing 1 billion transactions for the first time. After several years of stagnation or decline, on-chain transactions experienced exponential growth in 2024. This clearly illustrates how the decrease in fees has driven an increase in usage. Despite the regulatory resistance and uncertainty faced by the entire industry in 2024, this year remains a breakthrough year for on-chain adoption, with most indicators surpassing the peaks of 2021." -Original

9. Trump's policies and the Federal Reserve's expected interest rate stance may lead to a continued strong dollar, putting pressure on Bitcoin in the coming months.
CoinDesk analyst James Van Straten stated that due to Trump's policies and the Federal Reserve's expected interest rate stance, the continued strength of the dollar may put pressure on Bitcoin in the coming months. Dragosch noted, "Trump has indicated that he will impose tariffs on major trading partners, which may exacerbate global geopolitical uncertainty, further driving demand for the dollar, as it is seen as a safe haven during turbulent times. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has communicated to the market that they will only cut rates twice in 2025—far below previous expectations. As a result, the dollar is appreciating, and yields are continuously rising. I believe this is also one of the factors currently putting pressure on Bitcoin. The macroeconomic environment is now a headwind." -Original

11. Bloomberg reports that Canada's crypto industry is applying lessons learned from the success of the U.S. election.
Following the significant success of the cryptocurrency industry in last year's U.S. elections, Canadian digital asset companies have begun to apply the lessons they learned. The next Canadian federal election is scheduled for October 2025, but it may be held earlier under Canada's parliamentary system. The Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, currently forms a minority government, and the opposition is expected to propose and support a motion of no confidence to overthrow the government this year. Canada's crypto industry hopes to see digital assets become a larger focus in that election, just as they were in the U.S. In July, Stand With Crypto expanded to Canada, but the Canadian branch does not intend to support candidates in the upcoming election. Instead, its goal is to "inspire the cryptocurrency advocacy community" and launch a grassroots movement for supporters to engage with other Canadians and their parliamentary members. While cryptocurrency may not be a political focal point in Canada, the country has played a significant role in the industry. The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, was born in Canada, and it is home to the world's first Bitcoin ETF. Other issues that the Canadian crypto industry is lobbying for include allowing the use of Bitcoin in retirement savings plans and tax-free savings accounts, as well as incorporating crypto into open banking laws. So far, no political party in the country has supported the industry, but digital asset companies have been trying to position crypto as a way to enhance affordability—an important focus in Canadian politics. -Original

15. Tron’s T3 financial crime unit has frozen $100 million worth of USDT.
The T3 financial crime unit was established in collaboration with the Tron blockchain, stablecoin issuer Tether, and blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs. The unit stated that since its establishment in September, it has frozen a total of $100 million in Tether USDT used by illegal actors. T3 stated in a statement that the joint venture analyzed millions of transactions across five continents, monitoring over $3 billion in USDT, the largest stablecoin. T3 involves TRM Labs using its blockchain intelligence and monitoring tools to help Tron and Tether identify and freeze USDT related to illegal activities. The USDT issued on the Tron blockchain is close to $60 billion, second only to Ethereum, which has a slightly higher issuance of over $75 billion. Chris Janczewski, Global Investigations Director at TRM Labs, stated that "money laundering as a service" (where criminals hire dark web entities to launder illegal funds) is the largest source of frozen funds. In an interview with CoinDesk, he mentioned that investment fraud, illegal drugs, terrorism financing, ransomware scams, hacking, exploitation, and even violent crimes have also become targets. "The blockchain is a terrible place for money laundering because it is very transparent. We can confirm victim reports on public blockchains and even identify other victims; this insight is something traditional finance cannot achieve," Janczewski said. T3 indicated that up to $3 million of the frozen USDT is linked to North Korea, which has been actively trying to infiltrate crypto projects to fund its regime. The U.S. Treasury announced in December that it had shut down a North Korean money laundering network. "Ultimately, we hope that through our efforts, not only can victims recover their funds, but also that bad actors will think twice before engaging in illegal activities on blockchains like Tron," Janczewski said. -Original
