According to The Block, Ben Slavin, the global ETF head at Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), stated that asset managers are accelerating their tokenized ETF plans, driven mainly by investor demand and the FOMO sentiment of fearing to miss early opportunities in blockchain finance. Slavin revealed that BNY has multiple tokenized ETF projects underway, and although the regulatory environment and infrastructure are not yet fully ready, many clients wish to launch products as soon as possible. He believes that blockchain networks are expected to become a new distribution channel for traditional investment products, enabling around-the-clock holding and transfer of fund shares, shortening settlement times, and expanding coverage for global investors.Slavin also pointed out that currently, hundreds of well-known ETFs are trading in tokenized form in unregulated markets, and most of these have not been directly authorized by the fund sponsors, which poses reputational risks. This topic has become a focal point for discussions among BNY's asset management clients. Although the industry is still exploring core issues such as the integration of tokenized funds with existing infrastructure, secondary trading mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks, Slavin stated that asset managers are increasingly inclined to believe that "getting in early" in this field is more important than "waiting for clarity."

The cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment stated that ETH has fallen below $2000 for the first time since March 29. Typically, after a significant price drop, the market exhibits two typical sentiments: one is retail investors falling into FUD due to weak performance, and the other is the FOMO sentiment that views the drop as a "discount buying opportunity."Santiment pointed out that the latter is currently emerging in the market. As ETH breaks below a key psychological support level, a large number of retail investors are starting to "buy the dip." It believes that this usually indicates that the price of ETH may still have further room to decline, as retail sentiment is currently too optimistic, and historically, the general market tends to make incorrect judgments. Santiment stated that the truly better buying opportunities usually arise after market FOMO cools down and sentiment shifts to panic.

The cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment posted on social media that Bitcoin's market value has surpassed the $70,000 mark, and market sentiment has once again fallen into a state of FOMO.In cryptocurrency-related discussion areas on platforms like X, Reddit, and Telegram, Trump's remarks about the possibility of the war ending soon, along with news of a reversal in oil prices, have greatly encouraged investors.

He Yi posted on platform X, stating that driving change in the world often comes with a lot of discussion and skepticism, which is not unique to the crypto industry. Compared to traditional assets, the crypto industry is still in its early stages, and volatility and controversy are inevitable.The current FOMO around gold and silver is not surprising; our Bitcoin (digital gold) era will eventually arrive. He hopes that community users will make independent judgments and manage risks well, safeguard their assets, and conduct their own research.

The analysts at the blockchain analysis platform Santiment pointed out that cryptocurrency market participants showed strong sentiment on social media at the beginning of the year, but simultaneously warned that whether the market can move further upward depends on whether retail investors can remain rational."We need retail investors to maintain a certain level of caution, a certain level of pessimism, and a certain level of impatience," Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan said in a YouTube video released on Saturday. Although other crypto sentiment indicators show that market participants are experiencing fear, Quinlivan stated that Santiment's social media data points in the opposite direction. "Current sentiment is very positive," he said, "which is usually somewhat concerning, but this time it may just be a normal rebound after the holiday return."Quinlivan expressed that he is not overly worried about "a surge of FOMO sentiment," but added that if Bitcoin quickly rises to $92,000, such sentiment could flood the market. When market excitement is too high, the cryptocurrency market often moves in the opposite direction of what most people expect. Quinlivan pointed out that a rapid rise in Bitcoin's price to that level would reveal "the true reaction of retail investors": "If they start pouring in funds because of 'Bitcoin going up,' that would be a negative signal." Despite January's historical strong performance, the crypto market still faces fear signals. Retail euphoria in the cryptocurrency market often occurs near historical highs or cycle peaks, and historical data shows that the market often declines afterward.
