I posted this yesterday but I didn't see it in the notables. Russia is planning to invest $10 Billion in Bitcoin to "avoid US sanctions" and replace some of its USD reserves in February. Considering that the current 24h volume is sitting at around $4.1 Billion, that should be a pretty significant boost for the coin and crypto markets in general.

If nothing else, it's an investment opportunity but I suspect it's more than that.
