Hi Siai,

Welcome back to your weekly Day1x update. Markets are finding their footing, stablecoins are flowing back into DeFi, and regulation is finally starting to move in the right direction. Here's what you need to know this week.

DAY1x UPDATES

• $PAXG trading fee free today
  To celebrate gold hitting historic highs, $PAXG is trading fee free for the rest of today. A popular option for traders looking to stay active while markets consolidate.

• Fortnightly Auto Buys now available
  We heard your feedback and have added a fortnightly auto buy schedule, perfect for aligning with fortnightly pay cycles and staying consistent without timing the market.

• Leaderboard reset and winners paid
  Congrats to last week's leaderboard winners: ChrisM, aaron, ustrail2001. Your USDT bonuses have been credited. The leaderboard has now reset, giving everyone a clean slate and a fresh chance to win this week.

• Near-instant deposits for Australians are live
  Australian users now have named Day1x accounts, meaning PayID and Osko deposits are near instant and far less likely to be delayed by banks. Please make sure you are funding from a bank account in the same name as your Day1x account to avoid issues.

• Last week's video: Bear markets and stablecoins
  In last week's video, we broke down how traders can stay active in bear markets and how stablecoins are being used across DeFi platforms. Given some of the news below, it looks like the broader market agrees.

CRYPTO NEWS

• U.S. Senate advances crypto market structure bill
  On January 21, the Senate Agriculture Committee released a draft bill proposing clearer commodity-style oversight for crypto markets, with markup scheduled for January 27. Regulatory clarity remains one of the biggest long-term unlocks for institutional participation.
  

• Solana records $1.3B in stablecoin inflows
  Solana saw approximately $1.3 billion in stablecoin inflows over the past week, while Ethereum supply declined. This suggests renewed on-chain activity and growing demand for yield opportunities across DeFi ecosystems.
  

• Trump signals imminent crypto legislation
  President Trump has indicated he intends to sign pro-crypto legislation "very soon," following renewed bipartisan discussions. Policy momentum continues to improve sentiment across the market.
  

• Hong Kong prepares first stablecoin licenses
  Hong Kong is set to issue its first stablecoin licenses, strengthening the global regulatory framework for USD-pegged assets like USDC. This supports stablecoins as a core settlement and liquidity layer during volatile markets.
  

• Cardano founder highlights long-term upside
  Charles Hoskinson has pointed to strong long-term potential across select crypto assets as DeFi activity continues to grow, including record open interest across derivatives platforms. While short-term volatility remains, longer-term infrastructure growth continues.
