1. Trump's Speech May Intensify Market Volatility

Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. President Donald Trump is set to deliver a speech later on Friday, and market volatility seems likely to continue escalating. Griffin Ardern, head of options trading and research at the crypto financial platform BloFin, stated: "Domestic policy in the U.S. has become unstable, and the White House appears eager to leverage this instability. Given the challenges investors face in obtaining accurate forward guidance, many prefer to hold low-volatility assets… Traders need to liquidate positions to reduce exposure to specific assets before turning to other markets, which explains the decline in almost all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies." -Original

6. U.S. Consumer Spending Declines in January, Inflation Rises

U.S. consumer spending unexpectedly declined in January, but the rise in inflation may support the Federal Reserve in delaying interest rate cuts for some time. Data shows that consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, fell by 0.2% last month, while the market had expected a 0.1% increase. Weak consumer spending may reflect a waning pull from front-loaded consumption, as well as the drag caused by unusually low temperatures and snowstorms in much of the country. Wildfires in Los Angeles may also have harmed consumption. Winter storms disrupted residential construction last month and were one of the reasons for suppressed job growth. Aside from weather factors, policies from the Trump administration have also hindered economic activity, including tariffs and significant spending cuts. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose by 0.3% in January, with a year-on-year increase of 2.5%. Core PCE rose by 2.6% year-on-year, with a month-on-month increase from 0.2% last month to 0.3%, both in line with market expectations. -Original

8. CME to Launch Solana Futures

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME Group), the world's largest derivatives market, announced in a press release on Friday that it plans to launch Solana (SOL) futures on March 17 to expand its cryptocurrency derivatives product lineup. The new contracts are awaiting regulatory review and will allow traders to manage SOL price risk with two contract sizes: 25 SOL and 500 SOL. Giovanni Vicioso, global head of cryptocurrency products at CME Group, stated: "With the launch of our new SOL futures contracts, we are meeting the growing demand from customers for a wider range of regulated products." All news contracts will be cash-settled, using the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate, which tracks the price of SOL daily at 4:00 PM London time. CME has already offered Bitcoin and Ether futures, which have seen significant growth in trading activity. The company reported an average daily contract volume of 202,000 this year, a 73% increase from 2024. Industry leaders view this move as a step towards greater institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. Teddy Fusaro, president of Bitwise Asset Management, pointed out that CME's crypto derivatives pave the way for regulated financial products, including ETFs. Kyle Samani of Multicoin Capital added that such products provide mature investors with more tools to manage risk and exposure. As Solana becomes increasingly popular among developers and investors, the addition of SOL futures highlights the growing demand for regulated crypto trading products. It may also pave the way for the approval of Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, stated: "CME's decision to list SOL contracts today significantly increases the likelihood of corresponding spot ETF applications being approved in the foreseeable future." "While it's difficult to pinpoint a specific approval timeline, the SEC is likely to want to see several months of trading data from CME and be assured that futures are correlated with the spot market before approving SOL ETF applications." -Original
