🥂 Good morning, today is **Monday, Jan. 02, 2023.**

**Macro:** The Japanese yen experienced modest growth as the new year began and some investors have taken out short-dollar positions. Meanwhile, Chinese equity bulls may see improvement in 2023, but market volatility may persist due to challenges such as Covid, US-China tensions, and the possibility of a global recession.

**Crypto:** [Bitcoin](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT), Ether, XRP, and Dogecoin have all seen slight increases, while Solana and Avalanche have experienced decreases. TONCoin stood out from the crowd with spectacular gains. U.S. markets are closed on Monday, with trading set to resume on Tuesday.

****Topic of the Day:**** SushiSwap Revamps Tokenomics to Boost Liquidity and Decentralization

**Notable Headlines:** Italy’s Parliament has approved a 26% capital gains tax on crypto; Bahamas’ Securities Commission said it’s been holding on to more than $3.5 billion worth of FTX customer assets; Australia has overtaken El Salvador to become the fourth-largest hub for cryptocurrency ATMs…

## Macro at a Glance
As the new year began, the Japanese yen experienced a modest but notable increase on Monday as traders considered the potential risks and rewards of further technical strength during the holiday season's thin trading. The currency rose by as much as 0.3% to hit 130.77 per dollar in Tokyo, but chart watchers warn that a close below the 130.41 mark of the dollar-yen's August low could lead to trouble for the pair in the future.

Some investors have even taken out short-dollar positions in anticipation of a potential break in the absence of regular market liquidity. The yen has been on the rise since October, likely due to government intervention and speculation about the Bank of Japan's future policies. Many believe that the BOJ's recent surprise move to adjust its yield curve control parameters is a sign that the bank's ultra-easy monetary policy may be coming to a close.

On the other hand, Chinese equity bulls may finally see some improvement in 2023 if the country's sudden reopening from Covid restrictions leads to a robust economic recovery. 

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, suffered its worst year on record, with combined losses from equities traded on the mainland and in Hong Kong reaching $3.9 trillion. However, market experts predict that 2023 will be a better year, as authorities prioritize economic revival and offer more support to private enterprises.

It won't be a smooth ride, however, as the nation faces challenges such as a messy Covid exit, ongoing US-China tensions, and the possibility of a global recession. Despite these hurdles, a growing number of Wall Street banks are becoming more optimistic about Chinese equities due to renewed economic optimism and attractive valuations. 

Although the rebound has slowed in December due to concerns about rising infections, asset managers believe that any dips present a buying opportunity. China's economy is expected to grow by 4.8% in 2023, thanks in part to the government's loose monetary policy and supportive stance towards private businesses. However, tensions with the US and a struggling housing market could continue to cause market volatility.

## Topic of the Day: SushiSwap Revamps Tokenomics to Boost Liquidity and Decentralization

SushiSwap, a decentralized exchange, has announced plans to revamp its tokenomics in an effort to boost liquidity and decentralization on the platform. The new model, proposed by CEO Jared Grey, introduces time-lock tiers for emission-based rewards and a token-burning mechanism to strengthen the exchange's treasury reserves.

Liquidity providers will be able to earn boosted, emissions-based rewards by locking their liquidity, but these rewards will be forfeited and burned if removed before maturity. Staked SUSHI tokens will be eligible for emissions-based rewards paid in SUSHI, with the amount determined by time-lock tiers. The decentralized exchange will also use a percentage of its swap fees to buy back and burn SUSHI tokens.

This redesign comes after SushiSwap disclosed that it had less than 1.5 years of runway left in its treasury, raising concerns about its operational viability. The exchange has experienced a $30 million loss over the past year due to incentives for liquidity providers under its current token-based emission strategy. With these changes, SushiSwap hopes to turn things around and continue providing a reliable platform for cryptocurrency traders.

### SushiSwap **(SUSHI) $0.9294 (-1.27%)**

**SUSHI Overview:**

- ***Closest daily support zone: 0.858 - 0.787***
- ***Closest daily resistance zone: 0.988 - 1.130***
- ***Key Level: 0.858 (Weekly Low of Sep. 28 - Oct. 05, 2020)***
