The most anticipated moment in the history of Digital Assets is upon us: The inauguration of Donald Trump, “the first crypto president” on January 20th, will mark a pivotal moment for the Digital Assets landscape across all markets.
The golden era of Digital Assets has started, now is the time to pay attention to everything this space has to offer so you don’t miss the greatest wealth-creation opportunity of our time.
Make Trump’s Pump Great Again
As Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, expectations are soaring in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin surging past $100,000 and altcoins like XRP and Solana (SOL) experiencing double-digit gains. Trump’s reported plans to issue an executive order designating cryptocurrency as a national priority, establishing a crypto advisory council, and potentially formalizing a national Bitcoin reserve, have fueled this rally. The proposed policies include creating a U.S.-based cryptocurrency reserve, potentially incorporating assets like XRP and SOL alongside Bitcoin. This has driven XRP up 45% in the past week, putting it just a 2x away from flipping Ethereum in market cap.

Coinbase launches Bitcoin-backed loans
Coinbase now offers Bitcoin-backed loans, allowing users to borrow USDC without selling their Bitcoin. This service provides instant access to funds with competitive interest rates and flexible, open-ended repayment terms. Users can borrow up to 40% of their Bitcoin holdings, with no credit checks, flexible repayment terms, earning over 4% in USDC rewards, and a maximum loan limit of $1 million. The loans are entirely on-chain, powered by the Morpho protocol on Base.
This feature is designed to help users access liquidity while retaining their Bitcoin investments, significantly lowering selling pressure on BTC. With fewer people selling their Bitcoin, the supply on the market remains constrained, which could support or even drive higher BTC prices. Additionally, this integration is expected to attract more fintechs and institutions to on-chain financial infrastructures, further expanding DeFi’s reach and adoption.
Coinbase launches crypto-backed loans powered by Morpho
Today, @coinbase users can now access USDC loans directly in their Coinbase app. Under the hood, loans are originated from Morpho markets. This marks a huge milestone for DeFi and its adoption, so I can't be more excited… x.com/i/web/status/1…

DeFAI Steals the spotlight
This week DeFAI as an emerging sector surged pushing $ANON past $300M and $AIXBT near $1B in a "hated rally" showcasing the growing DeFi-AI intersection. While "DeFAI" skeptics exist, AI agents could revolutionize how users interact with DeFi by simplifying complex processes. Instead of manually navigating multiple platforms for yield farming, imagine telling an AI to "find 8% yield on ETH with minimal risk" and having it execute everything automatically. This could be the key to making DeFi accessible to mainstream users.
