There, Alibaba Qwen introduced a new AI model called Qwen2.5-Max.
The team claimed that it outperforms solutions such as GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, Llama-3.1-405B, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
According to the official release, the model was trained on 20+ trillion tokens using SFT and RLHF. Performance was evaluated using benchmarks MMLU-Pro, LiveCodeBench, LiveBench, and Arena-Hard.
This time, the stock and cryptocurrency markets did not react to this news, unlike with DeepSeek. NVIDIA shares also remained at the same level — apparently, the market has already digested this whole story.

BlackRock Proposes In-Kind Redemptions for ETFs to Reduce Tax Impact
Nasdaq has filed a proposed rule change to introduce in-kind redemptions for BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). This would allow investors to receive Bitcoin directly instead of selling the assets for cash.
Key Points:
What’s Changing: Investors will now be able to redeem Bitcoin directly, simplifying the transaction and reducing the tax burden.
Old Scheme: Selling Bitcoin and returning the funds in cash created complexity and tax costs.
Why It Matters: The new approach is more in line with institutional players who want flexibility in managing their assets.
Why It Matters: • In-kind redemptions could minimize taxable events for investors. • If approved, the proposal could encourage other issuers to pursue similar strategies, strengthening the connection between traditional finance and the crypto market.
This Nasdaq and BlackRock initiative could set a new standard for Bitcoin ETFs, making them more attractive to institutional investors.

The term "Santa Claus Rally" was coined by Yale Hirsch to describe the behavior of traditional financial markets in the last five trading days of the year and the first two days of the next year. Why these dates? It's simple: during this time, the activity of major players in the markets usually decreases, while small investors create increased demand, which can lead to price increases.
What I wrote about. After the listing on Binance, they gave some +10$ and the drain began. They won't draw Xs right away, but in a panic you can look for TVX.
It's all very logical. The meme will not die and will stay with us for a long time.
Bitcoin, as an investment asset, does not satisfy everyone. For small investors, the returns are not that significant. For large serious investors and funds, the volatility is too high and there is a great risk of a prolonged decline in the asset's price. Therefore, conservative funds use other opportunities and instruments, such as cryptocurrency hedge funds.
The head of the SEC in the US makes final remarks before his departure ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration — says that Bitcoin is a highly speculative asset, but 7 billion people want to trade it: just as gold has been for 10,000 years, now there is Bitcoin.
And the CNBC host urges Gensler to finally admit that he loves and holds BTC — now it's possible.
