Jinse Finance reported that OpenAI announced on Friday that it will begin testing advertisements in the ChatGPT app for some users in the United States. This marks a significant shift for the company as it seeks to increase revenue from its popular chatbot. In the coming weeks, ads will be shown to logged-in users of the free version of ChatGPT, as well as to users of the low-cost “Go” plan, which was initially launched in India and is now expanding to the United States at a monthly price of $8. The premium paid version of ChatGPT will remain ad-free. OpenAI’s decision to embrace advertising reflects its broader efforts to diversify revenue ahead of a potential initial public offering, and helps offset the enormous costs of building and supporting artificial intelligence systems. OpenAI expects to remain unprofitable for years and has committed to investing about $1.4 trillion in data centers and chips for artificial intelligence.

Jinse Finance reported that Galaxy CEO Michael Novogratz stated that U.S. crypto market structure legislation does not need to be "perfect" and should be advanced as soon as possible, saying, "So what if it's not perfect? It can be fixed later," in order to allow the industry to continue developing. He pointed out that disagreements over the stablecoin reward mechanism are at the core of recent negotiation deadlocks, but he expects a compromise will eventually be reached, even if the outcome may not be the most favorable for the crypto industry. In contrast to his stance, the CEO of a certain exchange, Brian Armstrong, has publicly opposed the current draft bill, believing it would stifle multiple businesses including stablecoin rewards, and stated, "I'd rather have no bill than a bad bill." Meanwhile, Democratic staff from the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee and Banking Committee plan to hold calls with representatives from the crypto industry to continue discussing the advancement of related legislation.

due to Trump suggesting nominating someone other than National Economic Council Director Hassett to replace Powell, U.S. Treasury prices fell, and traders reduced their expectations for two rate cuts in the U.S. in 2026. The decline in U.S. Treasuries pushed the two-year yield up by 5 basis points to 3.61%, reaching the highest level since the Fed's last rate cut in December. After Trump's comments on Hassett, short-term interest rate contracts reflected a decreased probability of the Fed cutting rates by 25 basis points twice this year. Meanwhile, the Treasury market continues to be troubled by the December employment data released a week ago, which led Wall Street banks that had previously predicted a rate cut at the Fed's next meeting on January 28 to abandon that view. Morgan inflation economist predicts that despite changes in the Fed leadership, the Fed will not cut rates further. John Fath, managing partner of BTG Pactual Asset Management USA, stated: "Previous trades were bets that whoever serves as the next Fed chair would be dovish. This trend has reversed in the past few days."
