The U.S. Federal Reserve is set to make another round of Treasury bill purchases as it expands its balance sheet again. This has sparked optimism about a crypto market rally, as this move could inject more liquidity into the economy.
Federal Reserve To Buy $55 Billion Worth Of Treasury Bills
The New York #Fed will begin buying Treasury bills next week, January 20, and will purchase up to $55 billion in these treasuries between then and February 10. This move comes as part of the Fed’s plans to expand its balance sheet through reserve management purchases.

As #CoinGape reported, the Federal Reserve ended quantitative tightening (QT) at the December FOMC meeting and committed to purchasing treasury bills. The Fed notably just completed $40 billion in reserve management purchases, which it began in December after the meeting.
The upcoming $55 billion in treasury bill purchases has sparked optimism about a potential crypto market rally. The purchases come at a time when the market is seeing renewed bullish momentum, with Bitcoin reaching a new yearly high above $97,000 earlier this week.
Crypto commentator Crypto Rover noted in an X post that the U.S. #Federal Reserve’s move is bullish for the market in the long term. This could lead to higher crypto prices as dollar liquidity increases, as BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has predicted.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the Fed’s purchases of the treasuries will come amid the upcoming FOMC meeting, where the committee is likely to keep interest rates steady. There is currently a 95.6% chance that the FOMC will hold rates steady and 4.4% chance they will lower rates by 25 basis points (bps), according to CME FedWatch data.
Why The Treasury Purchases Are Not Bullish In The Short Term
In an X post, macro commentator Milk Road Macro explained why the Federal Reserve’s treasury purchases are not bullish for the crypto market in the short term. Milk Road Macro noted that the Fed balance sheet is expanding but rising at an “extremely slow pace.”
The commentator further remarked that while each reserve management purchase is a liquidity-positive event, it is too small to move risk assets such as Bitcoin on its own. They predict that this balance sheet expansion is likely to remain gradual unless there is a “true shock” to the system.
Milk Road Macro also noted that the current type of balance sheet expansion is different, as the Federal Reserve is buying Treasury bills rather than coupons. Buying treasury coupons usually leads to faster expansion, which is more akin to quantitative easing and is more bullish for the crypto market.

DJT #Stock rose on Tuesday after Trump Media confirmed that February 2, 2026, would be the record date for its digital token distribution. Shares surged by 3.1% to about $14.57, as per TradingView data. The rise comes as Trump Media advances its Crypto.com-backed token plan, even as broader equity and crypto markets sold off.
DJT Stock Surges Against a Weak Market 
DJT Stock surged by over 7% on the day, while most risk assets declined. The Nasdaq fell nearly 2%. Overseas, Japan’s Nikkei dropped by 2.5%, while Germany’s DAX declined by 1%. This is due to the ongoing global tensions over Trump’s tariffs.
DJT Stock moved higher despite the trend in Crypto-related equities. #Bitcoin erased most of its 2026 gains and traded only 3% above its January starting level. Investors sought safer options, sending gold up 3% and silver up 7%, both hitting record highs.

DJT stock rose on the announcement of the record date for its distribution of digital tokens to shareholders. #CoinGape had earlier reported the Bitcoin treasury company’s plan to distribute tokens, though the company didn’t announce a date for the airdrop at the time. 
Trump Media Sets February 2 Record Date
Trump Media, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker DJT, said that February 2 will determine eligibility for its blockchain-based token distribution. The company first announced the initiative in late December, in partnership with Crypto.com.
According to the company, registered holders and ultimate beneficial owners of at least one whole DJT Stock share will qualify. However, shareholders classified as objecting beneficial owners may face delays in information sharing. 
As a result, the firm encouraged investors to confirm non-objecting status or use direct registration. #Trump Media stated that the token will not represent company equity. The token may also provide benefits tied to Truth Social, Truth+, or Truth.Fi, but cannot be exchanged for cash.
It is worth noting that Trump Media holds 15,000 bitcoin, valued at about $1.36 billion. The company has a market cap of $4.91 billion, with $2.36 billion in trading volume over the past 30 days.
Crypto.com’s Role and Token Structure
After the record date, the top crypto exchange, Crypto.com, will mint and custody the tokens pending distribution. The company previously indicated the token may launch on Crypto.com’s blockchain infrastructure. CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said the process follows Securities and Exchange Commission guidance and aims to improve transparency of ownership.
Trump Media reiterated that tokens will remain non-transferable and reserved for eligible shareholders only. The company added that additional details on allocation and distribution will follow. #Crypto projects have added about $1.4 billion to the Trump family’s wealth since Trump took office.
DJT Stock rose as investors weighed the timing of confirmed tokens, sizable Bitcoin holdings, and clear eligibility rules. The rise comes despite falling global equities and weakening crypto prices. 

$COS The crypto market has always been unpredictable. Sometimes the market looks calm, and suddenly a coin surprises everyone. Today something similar happened when Contentos ($COS ) became one of the top gainers on Binance, catching the attention of traders around the world.
When the market opened earlier today, most investors were focused on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, as the day progressed, traders began noticing that a smaller altcoin was rising rapidly. Within just a few hours, Contentos ($COS ) experienced a significant price jump and quickly became one of the most talked-about coins of the day.
For many traders, this move came as a surprise. Some people managed to enter early and made quick profits, while others watched the rally from the sidelines. This is the true nature of the crypto market — opportunities appear suddenly, but so do the risks.
Contentos is a blockchain-based project designed to support digital content creators. Its goal is to build a decentralized ecosystem where creators can share their content and receive direct rewards through blockchain technology. The project’s vision, combined with a sudden increase in trading volume, may be one of the key reasons why the coin gained so much attention today.
However, there is one important thing to remember:
Being a top gainer in the crypto market does not always guarantee long-term success. Many coins that experience a strong pump today can also face sharp corrections later. That is why experienced traders always prioritize proper research and risk management before making any investment decisions.
Today’s market movement once again shows that even smaller coins can sometimes create big stories in the crypto world. And who knows — tomorrow another coin might take the spotlight while traders continue searching for the next opportunity.$
