Earlier on the 9th, in an interview with the US podcast "The Roundup," Lutnick blamed the stalled US-India trade agreement negotiations on Indian Prime Minister Modi, saying, "Everything was ready, and I (to the Indian side) said you have to get Modi to call the president (Trump). They were uncomfortable doing that. So, Modi didnt call."U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: The United States supports the courageous Iranian people.On January 10th, a research report from Founder Securities stated that the December non-farm payroll data was mixed, with the US job market generally showing a mild downward trend, but the unemployment rate showed marginal improvement, giving the Federal Reserve more reason to wait and see in January. Combined with the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional, this may be a short-term positive for US stocks and the US dollar, but a negative for US Treasuries. Data on new jobs, job openings, and hourly wage growth indicate that the US job market remained relatively weak in December, but the marginal decline in the unemployment rate was one of the few bright spots. Looking at interest rate futures and US Treasuries, the market priced in a no-rate-cut by the Fed in January, with a possible rate cut as early as June. Meanwhile, the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional means that economic expectations may improve marginally, inflationary pressures may weaken, but the fiscal deficit may worsen. With the Fed in no hurry to cut rates and tariffs easing, US Treasuries face many unfavorable factors in the short term and are likely to remain at high levels. US stocks will benefit from the AI boom and reduced tariff disruptions, especially in sectors affected by tariffs such as consumer staples and industry, which are more resilient.January 10 - According to the UN Security Council schedule, the Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on the situation in Ukraine on January 12.

Binance.US Adds Terra UST Stablecoin As Base Pair for Cryptocurrencies

Binance. Today, the United States formally designated UST as the Bitcoin base trading pair.


Since the release of the $10 billion Bitcoin reserve, everyone has been talking about the stablecoin.


LUNA is once again on the verge of setting a new all-time high.


Terra, LUNA, and UST have been attracting a lot of interest from investors, developers, analysts, and traders in the crypto sector for a time now.


The bullish storm that the DeFi chain has sparked isn't going to let up anytime soon. Especially in light of today's events.

UST Is Now A Base Pair

Because UST is a base pair, other cryptocurrencies will be able to trade against it in the same way they can with USD, if the option is available.


Binance disclosed this development earlier this month, along with the delisting of the UST/BTC trading pair and the cancellation of all existing trade orders. UST is currently only available as a Bitcoin base pair.


Binance isn't the first to do so; in fact, OKX, one of the top 20 cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, introduced UST as a base pair for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche earlier this month.


TerraUSD has garnered traction in the market as a result of its CEO Do Kwon's announcement that he intends to create a $10 billion+ UST reserve in Bitcoin.


At its current value, $10 billion in Bitcoin corresponds to roughly 253183.79 BTC, making Terra the largest Bitcoin holder at the time, surpassing MicroStrategy's current holdings of around 129,218 BTC.

At The Moment, LUNA

Terra's native cryptocurrency, LUNA, is presently the year's best-performing asset, with gains of 142.22 percent from February to April and a new all-time high of $119.5 at the same time.


Although LUNA is now trading at $93.5, it is on its approach to gradually exceeding the $120 mark, owing to the 23.5 percent rise seen three days ago.
