Berachain to announce token economics tomorrow, token TGE on February 6

Berachain Foundation officially announced that the Berachain token TGE will be carried out simultaneously with the mainnet launch, and token economics and Checker (or airdrop checker) will be launched today.

Previously, the Berachain Foundation officially announced that the Berachain mainnet will be launched on February 6, 2025. In terms of the economic model, BERA is used for staking and trading, and BGT is used for governance and rewards. The issuance of BGT is closely related to the staking of BERA, and BERA can be swapped by burning BGT. In addition, the PoL mechanism controls inflation by adjusting the validator’s Boost to ensure the security and decentralization of the network.

Berachain is a new EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that aims to align the value of the network with the value of the applications built on it through the Proof of Liquidity (PoL) mechanism. Through its core innovation of Proof of Liquidity (PoL), it changes the incentive mechanism of traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) and links the rewards of validators with the application needs on the network.

Market Trends: ETH/BTC exchange rate hits a four-year low, RWA track may continue to be hot

Market Hotspots

The overall performance of RWA sector tokens is stronger than other sectors in the market. OM, ONDO, PLUME and other tokens have performed relatively stably. The RWA track is the second largest mainstream narrative in this round of market except for the AI ​​sector. The launch of BlackRock BUIDL tokenized fund may lead to the continued popularity of the RWA track;

The rebounded AI Agent tokens such as FARTCOIN, SWARMS, and PIPPIN have returned to a downward trend. The overall market is unstable. These AI Agent tokens have been in a downward trend since the beginning of the year. Most of the tokens have fallen by more than 70% from their historical highs. The AI ​​track needs to be reshuffled and wait for the emergence of new popular AI concept tokens.

Mainstream Coins

BTC rebounded sharply to above $101,500 and then fell back to $97,500. Yesterday, BTC ETF had a large outflow of 230 million. The short-term market is still dominated by wait-and-see;

ETH rebounded weakly, and fell sharply yesterday to below $2,100; the ETH/BTC exchange rate continued to fall to a new low in nearly four years. In addition, ETH’s market share has continued to decline over the past year and is currently approaching the 10% mark;

Altcoins generally fell, the market lacked hot spots, and on-chain tokens were more easily manipulated in price due to their small market capitalization and concentrated chips, so the market was temporarily in a boring stage.

Macro News: The three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher, and the Fed’s expectations for a rate cut in 2025 dropped sharply

The three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher, with the S&P 500 up 0.72% at 6,037.88 points, the Dow Jones up 0.30% at 44,556.04 points, and the Nasdaq up 1.35% at 19,654.02 points. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was 4.52%, and the 2-year Treasury yield, which is most sensitive to the Fed’s policy rate, was 4.21%.

The current interest rate futures market’s expectations for the Fed’s interest rate cut in 2025 have cooled significantly compared to the second half of last year, and some traders have even begun to price in the Fed’s “no interest rate cut” in 2025. The “dot plot” released in December 2024 showed that the expectation of interest rate cuts in 2025 was significantly reduced from the previous four times to two times, and the interest rate expectations for 2026 and the “neutral interest rate” expectations that the market focused on were both raised, forcing the U.S. bond market to repricing expectations of interest rate cuts.
