🇺🇸 What Trump is planning for day one
Donald Trump and his team are gearing up for a whirlwind start, promising a "blizzard" of executive orders immediately after his inauguration. Trump and aide Stephen Miller hinted that the final tally could reach 100 actions, with immigration, deregulation, and bureaucracy reform taking center stage.

Energy and tariffs are expected to be focal points, though tariffs remain a wildcard. Investors are watching closely as these actions could reshape key industries and sectors. "It's going to be immediate," Trump emphasized.

📈 Bitcoin hits ATH Ahead of Donald Trump's Inauguration
Bitcoin soared past $109,000, hitting a record high of $109,333 on Binance during Monday's early hours, just ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration. Trump has voiced strong support for cryptocurrencies, pledging to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet” and establish a “strategic national bitcoin reserve.”

Investors are buzzing with optimism, expecting policies that could push BTC even higher in 2025.

🤯 89% of Donald Trump's net worth is now in the $TRUMP meme coin
The $TRUMP memecoin, launched just days ago on the Solana blockchain, now represents 89% of Donald Trump's net worth, becoming a major financial asset for him. It’s not just enriching Trump but also offering a way for the crypto industry to support him while letting the public speculate on his political future.

Meanwhile, Melania Trump’s coin, $MELANIA, debuted Sunday night, rapidly surpassing a $5 billion market cap in a stunning display of the couple's crypto influence.

It’s been a pretty crazy turn of events over the weekend.

📱 TikTok’s Near-Death Experience
TikTok faced a brief shutdown, but President-Elect Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he’ll sign an executive order after his inauguration to help bring the platform back online. TikTok stated it’s already “in the process of restoring service.”

Meanwhile, Instagram has been busy rolling out updates to attract TikTok users, and Meta has launched "Edits," a new app similar to CapCut, intensifying the competition in short-video content creation.

📊 The stock market has never looked like this before
As President-elect Donald Trump readies for his second term, the stock market stands at a remarkable high. The S&P 500 posted back-to-back gains of over 20% in 2023 and 2024, a feat last seen in the late '90s.
