Key events shaping crypto markets in January. Jan 7 - Ripple escrow unlock (1B XRP) Ripple released 1 billion XRP from escrow. Scheduled token unlocks are largely priced in. Jan 9 - Ethereum “BPO” hard fork Technical network upgrade focused on protocol optimizations. Infrastructure upgrades without tokenomics changes are not market-moving events. Jan 9 - US Non-Farm Payrolls Labor data came in stronger than expected - labour markets remain robust. Strong jobs data delay rate-cut bets, causing short-term risk-off. Jan 13 - US CPI (Inflation) Market expectations: ~2.7% YoY (consensus). Actual: 2.7% YoY (in line with expectations). Market reaction (moment): Crypto saw volatility around the release, especially BTC/ETH swings. Takeaway: No major surprise; inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% goal, which keeps markets cautious. Jan 14 - US Producer Price Index (PPI) PPI came in softer than expected. Market expectations: ~2.7% YoY forecast. Actual: 3.0% YoY (above forecast). Market reaction: Higher-than-expected PPI tends to support USD and suggest stickier inflation - risk assets initially softer. Takeaway: PPI surprise reinforced inflation persistence, tightening rate-cut expectations. 📅 Jan 27-28 - FOMC meeting 📅 Jan 28 - Interest rate decision High probability of rate hold - markets pricing little chance of cuts or hikes in January. Status quo priced in - volatility likely around guidance, but trend impact limited unless Fed surprises materially.

SilkPay, in partnership with Intebix and @SuperteamKZ KZ, has executed a live cross-border settlement with @Mastercard using USDC on Solana. The settlement flow is live and operational, bringing blockchain directly into payment infrastructure. Transactions that traditionally moved through SWIFT and multiple correspondent banks are now settled on-chain, with USDC used as the settlement asset. The implementation reduces intermediaries, lowers operational costs, and shortens settlement cycles -while remaining embedded within existing payment systems. This is how blockchain is adopted in global payments in practice: as a settlement layer integrated into traditional financial infrastructure.

Kazakhstan has formally integrated digital assets into its financial system. The President has signed a law establishing two parallel regulatory frameworks: • AIFC - aligned with international financial markets • National Bank sandbox - providing direct institutional oversight The law also recognizes the digital tenge as a legal form of national currency, issued exclusively by the National Bank and accessed through licensed financial institutions. This structure creates a clear separation between state-issued money and private digital assets. Intebix operates within both regulatory frameworks, enabling compliant access to digital assets under national law and international standards.
