While the trading competition is underway, Yooldo is accelerating the official launch of its first game, "Dungeon Log: Dagger Hit." This game is the first real-world application of the ESPORTS token after its issuance and recently completed its closed beta test, with 500 users participating and an average rating of 4.7 out of 5. According to the official plan, the game will be officially released in March. Compared to the test version, the official version will introduce a more complete growth system and richer gameplay mechanics, with ESPORTS and X402 being incorporated into the core design.

Gold prices continue to stay above $5,000, driven by ongoing geopolitical risks that fuel demand for safe-haven assets and a broad sell-off in currencies and sovereign bonds. According to Odaily, investors are closely monitoring the upcoming U.S. consumer confidence data set to be released on Tuesday evening, as well as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech on Wednesday. FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill noted that if Powell firmly counters political pressure and demonstrates a strong stance on maintaining the Fed's independence, it could temporarily boost the dollar. Conversely, if he indicates support for gradual rate cuts, it may further weaken the dollar.

Investors are currently closely watching US consumer confidence data due later on Tuesday and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech on Wednesday. FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill stated that if Powell clearly counters political pressure and demonstrates a firm stance in defending the Fed's independence, it could boost the dollar in the short term; conversely, if his statements lean towards supporting gradual interest rate cuts, it could further depress the dollar.
