4. Goldman Sachs expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points twice this year in June and December, with market expectations for rate cuts rising.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. economy is in a "sweet spot," but the market may be overly pessimistic about the pace of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius stated in a new report released on Monday that the key issue for monetary policy is how aggressively the Trump administration implements its import tariff agenda. Goldman Sachs predicts that the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25 basis points twice this year, in June and December, and will cut rates again in 2026. Jan Hatzius said, "But the risks to this forecast are generally tilted toward further easing, partly because even if the economy performs well, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may decide to cut rates before June, and partly because while a significant rate cut by the FOMC in the event of a sharp deterioration in economic data or risk sentiment is unlikely, it is far from impossible." -Original
5. The memecoin launched by Trump sparks market discussions, with the official memecoin TRUMP going live on Solana and quickly surging.
6. Coinbase announces support for trading Trump's memecoin TRUMP on the Solana network.
On Monday, during Donald Trump's inauguration, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant price fluctuations as his refusal to mention cryptocurrency in his inaugural speech turned excitement into disappointment. The broad market cryptocurrency benchmark CoinDesk 20 index fell over 5% during the inauguration, while Bitcoin (BTC) dropped from $106,000 to $101,000, later stabilizing around $103,000. The weekend's memecoin cryptocurrency frenzy related to Trump centered on the Layer-1 network Solana (SOL), which led the decline among major altcoins, falling nearly 10% from its recent historical high. Donald Trump's official memecoin TRUMP launched on Solana on Friday, plummeting 30% from $50 during Trump's speech. It later recovered some ground but was still down about 20% from its intraday high. MELANIA, a token named after First Lady Melania Trump, launched a day after Trump's inauguration and once plummeted 46%, later recovering some losses. The lack of mention of cryptocurrency in Trump's inaugural speech and the subsequent drop in Bitcoin from its highs indicated that volatility had significantly increased leveraged cryptocurrency trading positions, with over $700 million in liquidations across all digital assets on exchanges as of Monday. Nearly $500 million of the liquidated positions were long bets on price increases. Including the overnight sell-off before the inauguration, the total liquidation in the past 24 hours exceeded $1.2 billion, marking the largest leveraged liquidation of the year. The crypto industry had high expectations for Trump's presidency, hoping for friendlier policies towards digital assets after years of regulatory uncertainty and crackdowns. However, the meme token launched just days before Trump took office sparked a speculative frenzy on crypto trading platforms, angering several prominent figures both inside and outside the industry. Nic Carter, founding partner of crypto investment firm Castle Island Ventures, told Politico: "What he is doing is simply ridiculous. Their launch of a memecoin is utterly foolish." Maxine Waters, a senior Democratic member of the House Financial Services Committee, is the latest to condemn this action. In a statement on Monday, she said, "This memecoin represents the worst of the crypto space and illustrates why many regulators, advocates, and policymakers have long been concerned about it. These actions by President Trump will further tarnish the crypto industry, which has long been fighting for legitimacy and a fair competitive environment with other financial institutions." -Original

11. Mark Cuban considers creating a meme coin and will allocate sales revenue to the U.S. Treasury.
Billionaire entrepreneur and cryptocurrency advocate Mark Cuban stated on the X platform: "If meme coins are the trend of the future, maybe I will issue one. However, I will add a new twist. The issuance terms will be the same as TRUMP: 20% circulation, the same release plan. But there is one difference. All revenue from token sales will go directly to the U.S. Treasury. The wallet address will be public so everyone can track the flow of funds. If you want to take a gamble, go ahead. But at least use this money to help reduce the U.S. debt." -Original
