January was a powerhouse start to the year at SwissBorg, packed with exciting updates, new opportunities, and major milestones. From our Meta Exchange going multi-chain, fresh token listings, new Earn strategies, and exclusive Alpha Deals, we kicked off 2025 with a bang.
In this roundup, we’ll cover everything that the SwissBorg Team delivered in this first month of the year, along with key developments and major trends shaping the crypto landscape. Let’s dive in.
📰 The Cryptosphere: January Buzz
Trump’s Back. What Does It Mean for Crypto? 🇺🇸
Love him, hate him, or just enjoy the chaos, Donald Trump is back in the White House, bringing a familiar approach to economic policy. But what does it mean for crypto?
✅ Regulatory shake-ups – A more hands-off approach could mean friendlier policies for crypto. We definitely think so! ✅ ETF Expansion – With Bitcoin Spot ETFs thriving, institutions are pushing for XRP, DOGE, SOL, and beyond. Expect Trump’s administration to accelerate approvals. ❌ China, tariffs & market turmoil – If Trump reignites tensions, volatility could return. Historically, Bitcoin has thrived in uncertain times, will 2025 mirror 2020?
The Altcoin Awakening
With Bitcoin leading the charge, altcoins were booming. Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions began thriving, Solana was back stronger than ever, and AI-powered tokens gained serious traction. If 2024 was the ETF year, 2025 might be the year of real-world utility in crypto.
🚀 SwissBorg January Highlights: Innovation, Community & Opportunities!
The Meta Exchange Goes Multi-Chain
We redefined what’s possible for our community by connecting our Meta Exchange (MEX) to the Avalanche C-Chain. It is the first step in our mission to make multi-chain and cross-chain trading a simple reality for everyone.
Our team organised multiple online events in conjunction with Avalanche to promote this exciting new addition, including an entertaining YouTube Live event with special guests from the Avalanche ecosystem and an X Space hosted by Avalanche. The SwissBorg x Avalanche Winter Roadshow got underway in London, Brussels and Paris, with dates to come in Lausanne and Zurich during the first week of February.
