Trump sends Koreans by encryption exchange
The five cryptocurrency exchanges, which were licensed in Korea, surged 4.5 times to apply for a new account after Donald Trump’s victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the US presidential election in November.
According to the data distributed by LEE Hunseung’s parliamentarians to local media, the exchange recorded an average of 108,695 new applications per month from January to October. This number has soared to 492,464 a month in November and December.
A total of 20 million new encryption trading accounts were registered in 2024, and almost half (47.6%) were registered at the end of the year. Lee’s lawmaker also noted a significant increase in 47.5%of the new accounts for applicants over 40 years old.
South Korea remains a key player in the global encryption market, and Korea ranks the highest fiat currency in the early 2024 industrial trading volume.

China’s AI Superstar DeepSeek calms Wall Street and Bitcoin.
DEEPSEEK, a Chinese AI app from China, challenged the assumption that high -power chips are needed in the top AI model, the industry dominated by NVIDIA, filmed at the top of the Apple App Store, including the United States.
The shock wave struck Wall Street as NVIDIA brought the global market due to a plunge in the US -based AI stocks. Since the first time US President Donald Trump took office, Bitcoin was the first to be less than $ 100,000, and the cryptocurrency was not spared.
The same was true of speculation and fraud as Deepseek’s popularity increased. According to a security firm, BlockAid, at least 75 malicious deep sea themed tokens flooded on January 27. Some have announced that they were directly connected to DeepSeek’s official website and social media accounts, but the company has never released a token.
One meminin expanded to nearly $ 50 million market cap before collapsing, reflecting a pattern similar to the recent trump theme memo.
Meanwhile, the question was raised about the validity of the success of DeepSeek, which claims that it coincides with the model of Openai’s model.
The US export restriction says that in China, NVIDIA’s most advanced AI chip, but DEEPSEEK insists that it has trained Deepseek-V3, the latest model for the 2,048 NVIDIA H800 GPU, which is much less and more powerful than the 16,000 H100 GPUS meta used in LLAMA. DeepSeek has trained the AI model with about $ 6 million, and is part of billionai and rivals of billions of dollars.
Suspicions like Bernstein’s analysts argue that the cost of AI production in DeepSeek is higher than advertising. Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale AI, claimed that the company is using NVIDIA’s prohibited chips, but his claims remain unproven.
Microsoft and Openai are known to have started internal probes inappropriate whether the data of Openai’s technology stack was inappropriate by a group connected to DeepSeek.

Bitcoin’s lunar New Year recoil
After the annoyance of Deepseek, Bitcoin rebounded to $ 100,000 during the lunar New Year during the lunar calendar, which was supplied to the east trading activity that leads the method of Digital Asset Services company, which leads to the continuous method of Bitcoin’s positive period. I did it.
Bitcoin’s trading volume ratio is historically tilted west, as INTOTHEBLOCK data can be seen. However, the Eastern Transaction time recorded almost separated scores on the day before January 29, surpassing the western trading volume of NEW YEAR.
The encryption industry also found another way to celebrate the festival, except for trading Bitcoin. In classic degenerative cryptocurrency fashion, merchants rushed to launch tokens (nodded to the sun of snake) with the theme of the sixth of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. And as expected, most have already fallen.
Meanwhile, encryption exchange with strong ties with Asia accepted the lunar New Year as an air drop based on traditional Hongbao or Red Packets.
In Chinese culture, money is provided in a red envelope at the same celebration as a new year, symbolizing prosperity and luck. Other Asian culture follows a similar tradition. The encryption exchange adapted by distributing “encryption red packets” to the user.
