Amazon says it is bringing its “Just Walk Out” checkout technology to temporary retail locations.

The company on Tuesday (Jan. 13) announced the debut of the latest iteration of its radio frequency identification (RFID) lanes, designed for things like pop-up shops and festivals.

“This builds on the RFID technology we pioneered in 2023 for merchandise: walk-through lanes that use RFID tags to automatically detect what customers are carrying, so they can simply grab items and walk out by tapping their card to pay,” Amazon said on its blog.

The new lanes feature enhancements designed to speed checkout, such as in-lane screens “with an intuitive user interface guide shoppers through the checkout process while displaying cart totals.”

They also feature motorized gates that automatically open and close to help the flow of traffic, along with “dynamic pre-authorization gives customers greater cart visibility” so they know what they’re spending before finishing their purchase.

Amazon also cites the impact Just Walk Out has had for its corporate users. For example, Lumen Field in Seattle increased total sales per game by 47%, while BayCare’s St. Joseph’s Hospital in Florida shrank wait times from 25 minutes down to 3 minutes.

The technology also helped UC San Diego in California serve 11% more students while reducing retail theft by 83%.

In addition to third-party retail locations such as stadiums, Amazon said it is also adding Just Walk Out technology to its own operations, including more than 40 Just Walk Out-enabled stores at Amazon fulfillment centers, with more slated to go live this year.

“This internal deployment demonstrates our confidence in the technology while creating additional opportunities for innovation and scale,” the company said.

In other Amazon news, PYMNTS wrote on Tuesday about the company’s rivalry with Walmart at a time when “retail is being stretched by two different and increasingly incompatible forces that shape consumer behavior, capital allocation and competitive advantage … Call them essential gravity and discretionary gravity.”

Amazon, that report said, has found its strength is not any one category, but the ability to absorb demand as it appears. Search, recommendations, reviews, Prime membership and fulfillment all come together to ease friction at the moment of intent.

“Still, discretionary gravity is riskier. It is exposed to consumer sentiment, macro cycles and promotional intensity,” that report said. “But it is also where growth lives. When consumers feel confident, discretionary spending expands rapidly. When new categories emerge, platforms, and not stores, can capture the upside first.”

The question before retailers now, PYMNTS added, is not whether they can compete with giants on price or scale. It is whether they grasp which gravity they serve, and whether they are willing to commit fully to it.

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Trex Company, Inc. (“Trex” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TREX) on behalf of Trex stockholders. Our investigation concerns whether Trex has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices. Investigation Details:

On August 2025, Trex assured investors that “our revised inventory strategy reduces the volatility typically associated with channel stocking and de-stocking” and “by level-loading our production, we can better manage inventory cycles, enhance operational efficiencies, and reduce volatility in our quarterly results.” The company also called for FY 2025 sales growth of 5% to 7%.But after the markets closed on November 4, 2025, Trex surprised investors when it reported disappointing Q3 2025 financial results with net sales of $285 million coming in 5% below the mid-point of its guidance (significantly missing analysts’ consensus estimates), a sequential decline of about 26%. The company also reported a 12% decline in net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior year periods. In addition, Trex said it expects a “muted” fourth quarter, explaining in part “we expect our pro channel partners to lower their inventories through the rest of the year” and revised its 2025 sales growth guidance down to roughly 0% compared to 2024. On this news, the price of Trex shares declined by $14.61 per share, or approximately 31.07%, from $47.04 per share on November 4, 2025 to close at $32.43 on November 5, 2025. Next Steps:

Solana’s price has delivered a slight rebound as the broader crypto market gradually shifts towards a bullish outlook. Although the price of SOL may be demonstrating strength once again, its future trajectory is largely tied to the performance of the leading network in the days ahead.

Network Performance Becomes The Key Catalyst For Solana’s Price Following a slight bounce on Monday, Solana is back above the $140 price mark. However, on-chain data suggests that the altcoin is nearing a turning point where its next significant price change may depend more on how well its network functions going forward than on market sentiment.

This thesis was outlined by Santiment, a leading market intelligence and on-chain data platform, after examining the correlation between SOL’s current price movement and its network activity. With price spikes coinciding with reduced network activity, the focus is now on the blockchain’s ability to maintain that momentum.

Santiment highlighted that as ongoing market volatility cools off, the price of SOL experienced a leg up as high as $144, drawing dangerously close to breaking past its $145 resistance level. While the price remains below the key resistance level, the altcoin awaits its next major catalyst in order to clear this level.

Source: Chart from Santiment on X According to the on-chain platform, this will mostly depend on whether SOL network growth can start to increase once more, drawing attention to its fading new wallet creation. Data shows that the number of new wallet addresses created in a weekly timeframe has dropped significantly over the last few weeks.

In contrast to the prior optimistic moments, when new addresses were generated at record rates, accompanied by soaring trading and meme-coin activity, the slowdown represents a significant change.

As of November 2024, the number of weekly wallet addresses created was approximately 30.2 million. Fast forward to today, and the figure has fallen sharply, sitting at about 7.3 million. This massive drop in wallet creation signals a growing cooling phase in user onboarding across the SOL network. 

SOL Maintaining Large Daily Transactions New wallet addresses may have reduced significantly, but Solana’s transaction scale remains robust. Despite fluctuations in the overall market momentum, SOL maintains a remarkably high level of daily transactions, demonstrating the power of its network.

In a recent report from Solana Daily on the X platform, it was revealed that the network has persistently carried out more than 60 million transactions every day for the past 750 days. This consistency demonstrates the chain’s widespread use in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), payments, and high-throughput applications that depend on its affordability and speed.

An interesting aspect of this growth is that the network has maintained zero uptime within the timeframe, reinforcing its position as a reliable hub for on-chain activity. Currently, Solana is supported by real usage rather than just speculative spikes, which increases network efficiency.

Posted: January 13, 2026

Between October 2025 and January 2026, Bitcoin [BTC] ETF outflows accelerated, rising from approximately $3 billion to nearly $6 billion.

Traders took profits near the November 2025 ATH and triggered panic-selling as the price slipped below the ETF realized level around $86,000. Consequently, selling pressure intensified and accelerated ETF outflows.

Most post‑ATH inflows have shifted into losses, leading to intensified redemptions, particularly during periods of thin liquidity. However, price action has shown a notable divergence from these outflows.

Source: X

Bitcoin fell from near $120,000 but stabilized in the $85k – $90k range. This was a far smaller move compared with the scale of capital exiting ETFs.

This resilience suggests that spot demand outside ETFs absorbed much of the sell pressure.

Stabilization may come from the recent flattening of ETF flows in late December 2025 and early January 2026, which reduces forced selling.

A broader remedy lies in deeper liquidity and renewed long-term inflows. As a result, price holding above the ETF realized level can restore confidence and gradually slow further redemptions.

Short-term selling pressure intensifies! Market stress often reveals itself first through short-term participants, and Bitcoin is now entering such a phase. Recent buyers are under growing pressure as prices trade below their collective cost basis.

At press time, the Short‑Term Holder Realized Price was approximately $98k, while the spot price hovered near $91.5k.

This gap leaves many recent market entrants at a loss, increasing their sensitivity to further downside risk.

Source: X

At the same time, the 30-day Short-Term Holder Net Position Change has turned negative, with roughly -99,000 BTC distributed.

This shift signals net selling rather than accumulation. Historically, similar behavior has preceded short-term corrections, as weaker hands exit during periods of uncertainty.

Source: X

If the price remains below the realized level, selling pressure may intensify and extend the drawdown.

However, this dynamic does not guarantee a bearish outcome. Past cycles show that sustained short-term holder capitulation can also mark exhaustion phases.

Once selling slows, the price often stabilizes and attracts stronger demand. A reclaim of the realized price would ease pressure and restore confidence.

Meanwhile, long-term holder behavior remains relatively stable, supporting the broader structure. Therefore, downside risk persists, but upside recovery remains plausible if demand reasserts itself.

Can bulls reclaim a KEY technical level? At press time, Bitcoin was trading around $91,800, maintaining support above the $90,015 demand zone following the sharp breakdown between November and December.

ETF outflows triggered short-term holder pain, pushing the price below former support at around $95,300 and $99,600, now acting as overhead resistance.

Source: TradingView

Buyers continue to defend the $85,000–$90,000 range, indicating absorption rather than capitulation.

While momentum remains fragile, higher lows are forming above the highlighted support zone. To invalidate the current distribution structure, bulls must reclaim the $95,300 level.

Overall, investors should monitor for a confirmed move back above $95,000. Failure to do so could trigger a deeper correction toward $85,000.

Final Thoughts ETF outflows and short-term holder selling have intensified, yet Bitcoin continues to stabilize between $85k and $90k, suggesting strong spot demand is absorbing much of the sell pressure. Confidence hinges on reclaiming $95k, as a breakout signals recovery while rejection risks a drop toward $85,000.

On Tuesday, monero ( XMR) kept the good times rolling, and among the top ten privacy coins by market cap, everyone except zcash (ZEC) and mimblewimblecoin (MWC) is flashing green with gains. Privacy Coins Find Their Groove At press time, around 12:10 p.m. Eastern on Jan.

Former New York mayor Eric Adams’ new NYC token fell more than 81% within about 30 minutes of its Jan. 12 launch on Solana, wiping out roughly $500 million in peak paper value.

The token briefly reached an estimated market cap of $540 million–$600 million.

Adams unveiled the project at a Times Square event about 12 days after leaving office and tied the token to funding blockchain education and combating antisemitism.

The launch was promoted through his verified X account and later annotated by X Community Notes with a “rug pull” warning.

Adams framed the venture as part of an effort to counter antisemitism.

On-chain investigators quickly focused on liquidity movements and concentration risks.

According to Bubblemaps, a wallet connected to the deployer created a one-sided liquidity pool on Meteora and removed roughly $2.5 million in USDC near peak pricing.

NYC token rugpull (Source: Bubblemaps)It then added back about $1.5 million after the token price had already dropped more than 60%, leaving about $932,000 not accounted for in that round trip.

Solscan shows the referenced deployer-linked account activity tied to the analysis.

The same reporting also documented extreme supply concentration, with the top five wallets holding about 92% of supply and the top 10 about 98.73%.

It included one wallet with about 70%.

NYC holders (Source: Bubblemaps)Retail losses were visible in transaction historiesOne Solscan-tracked wallet executed five buys totaling 745,725 USDC and then sold for 272,177 USDC.

That trader lost about $473,548 in under 20 minutes.

The speed of the drawdown and the centralized holdings structure meant price discovery depended on a thin set of wallets and a small amount of removable liquidity.

Those conditions can amplify slippage during exits on DEX venues.

Key metrics and developments summarized at a glanceMetricNYCPeak market cap$540M–$600MPost-crash market cap~$87M–$110MPeak price~$0.58Crash price~$0.11Price change-81%+USDC removed from liquidity (est.)$2.43M–$3.4MTime from peak to crash~30 minutesEric Adam's crypto historyThe episode landed on a public figure who has spent years linking his political brand to crypto.

According to NYC.gov, Adams arranged to convert his first paycheck as mayor into cryptocurrency in early 2022.

He had previously stated on X in 2021 that he would take his first three paychecks in Bitcoin, including in a post tied to that pledge.

In 2025, he increased his crypto visibility through city initiatives and public appearances, while his political standing shifted after he lost the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani and left office at the end of 2025.

Separately, according to CNBC and Axios, a federal judge dismissed Adams’ corruption case with prejudice on April 2, 2025, after the Justice Department sought dismissal.

How US regulation allowed NYC token to existThe market backdrop matters because NYC arrived after other politician- and celebrity-linked tokens drew scrutiny for fee extraction, insider allocations, and steep drawdowns.

Data places NYC’s 81% crash alongside steep declines in TRUMP and MELANIA from their peaks.

The broader memecoin market cap fell 61% from early 2025 highs to roughly $36.5 billion, then rebounded to $47.3 billion in early 2026.

Volumes also dropped from around $20 billion in mid-2025 to under $3 billion by December.

On Solana, that same material cited a 2025 token creation boom and a low share of tokens reaching sustained trading venues.

That throughput pattern can keep attention-driven launches competing for the same retail liquidity.

Regulatory posture has also shifted in ways that leave retail outcomes dependent on disclosure choices, platform controls, and general anti-fraud enforcement rather than the disclosure regime investors associate with securities offerings.

According to a Feb. 27, 2025 SEC staff statement, many memecoins do not involve securities transactions because they are typically purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes.

The statement also warned that fraudulent conduct can still be pursued by other federal or state authorities.

Since that staff statement, public enforcement activity against meme coin issuers has been limited.

It added that prosecutors have continued to bring fraud cases in other crypto contexts, and states have explored statutes tailored to liquidity-pool theft and similar conduct.

In New York, the proposed legislation would define and criminalize certain “rug pull” conduct based on developer holdings and sell behavior.

That would create a separate pathway from federal securities theories.

For NYC, the immediate questions center on control and disclosure: who financed the launch, what agreements governed liquidity provisioning and market making, and whether promotional representations matched on-chain execution.

Those questions intensified because the deployer-linked liquidity removal occurred at the point of maximum retail demand.

They also intensified because the token’s supply distribution left price formation dependent on a small number of wallets that could sell into thin liquidity or withdraw it entirely.

Adams has publicly promoted the token, while the NYC Token account has discussed liquidity arrangements on X.

Neither has published a detailed accounting that reconciles the roughly $932,000 gap cited in the Bubblemaps analysis.

Ultimately, the story is one I had to verify multiple times to ensure it was not based on deepfake video or imagery. It seemed too fantastical and absurd to be true. However, it appears that this is the world we now live in.

If the president of the United States can launch a memecoin, then why not a former New York mayor? Still, while the president removes liquidity according to a regular, public schedule, leading to a slow decline in value, Adams rug-pulled investors at launch, nuking all value straight away.

US retail investors who bought both NYC and TRUMPOFFICIAL at launch are underwater on both, and it's unlikely either will instill confidence that crypto can be a force for good.

The Solana ecosystem is up slightly this week, recording a modest 1.4% improvement in global market capitalization (market cap) since our last update.

TL;DR: Sentiment: BTC above $93K; Fear & Greed neutral; traders flip risk-on. Solana: ecosystem flat; SOL +3.2%, breaks $140; select tokens surge. Watch out for: CPI and market-structure hearings could reprice volatility this week. It’s full steam ahead for the altcoin market following a recovery in trader sentiment after Bitcoin (BTC) smashed through the $93K threshold.

The CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index is now squarely back in neutral territory, though price action suggests that speculators are beginning to shift to a “risk-on” stance.

But with the U.S. CPI readings coming in better than expected and hearings on the much-anticipated market structure bill later this week, volatility may be on the cards.

Solana Market Recap The Solana ecosystem is up slightly this week, recording a modest 1.4% improvement in global market capitalization (market cap) since our last update.

Though the majority of Solana ecosystem tokens are down, this decline was buoyed by the outperformance of the Solana (SOL) token. It gained a further 3.2% this week to break $140 for the first time since December 2025.

A select few other ecosystem assets also put on a strong performance, including:

Avici (AVICI): +33.9% (Launched MoonPay-powered virtual accounts) Official Melania Meme (MELANIA): +33.9% (Speculation around Amazon documentary plus social media hype drove momentum) The White Whale (WHITEWHALE): +24.9% (Trading competition and viral trader profit story boosted hype) Frax (FRAX): +24.1% (FXS to FRAX exchange migration and rebrand headlines) The trending list also highlighted the emerging White Whale-spinoff and meme coin narratives.

Despite the stability, several Solana ecosystem assets suffered heavy drawdowns this week. Meme coins also featured heavily among this week’s worst performers.

Overall, the sector is outperforming almost all others. It’s third only to the PolitiFi and AI sectors when ranked by market cap-weighted category performance.

The PEPE coin price shows early reversal strength after bullish engulfing candles and rising volume have reclaimed key support, increasing the probability of a continuation toward higher resistance.

Summary

Bullish engulfing candles signal buyer control and momentum shift Rising volume confirms breakout strength and participation Holding support opens upside toward value area high (potential 187% rally) PEPE (PEPE) coin price is beginning to show signs of a potential market structure shift after a strong bullish response sparked renewed momentum on the chart. Following months of bearish pressure, price action has now produced a sequence of bullish engulfing candles that aggressively pushed PEPE higher, suggesting buyers are stepping back in with conviction.

This move is technically meaningful because it was supported by expanding volume, which adds credibility to the breakout rather than signaling a temporary relief bounce. With PEPE now reclaiming key levels and retesting the breakout zone as support, the market is entering a pivotal phase where a broader reversal could develop if price holds above newly reclaimed structure.

PEPE coin price key technical points PEPE printed strong bullish engulfing candles, signaling buyer control Rising volume confirms genuine participation, strengthening the breakout Holding reclaimed support opens upside potential toward value area high resistance PEPEUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView Bullish engulfing candles are often a reliable early signal of momentum shifts, particularly when they emerge after extended bearish trends. In PEPE’s case, the engulfing structure was not isolated, it appeared with follow-through strength and pushed price into the value area low region, marking a clear shift in short-term behavior.

Technically, this type of move suggests that sellers are losing control and that buyers are willing to transact more aggressively at higher prices. When an asset transitions from being capped by resistance into reclaiming and holding higher levels, it often signals that market structure is beginning to change.

What stands out is that PEPE’s move higher was not slow or corrective. It was impulsive, which matters from a market structure perspective. Impulsive expansions often indicate that the move is demand-driven, rather than a temporary bounce caused by a lack of liquidity.

Retest and support flip structure Following the impulsive breakout, PEPE is now undergoing a retest phase, in which the previously resisted zone is attempting to turn into support. This is one of the most critical moments for any reversal setup.

A successful retest confirms that buyers are willing to defend the new support region. It also signals that the market has accepted a higher value and is less likely to revert immediately to the bearish range.

As long as PEPE remains above this reclaimed support zone on a closing basis, the market structure remains constructive. Losing the level would weaken the reversal narrative and suggest the move higher was only temporary.

However, if the level holds and price forms a higher low, it would confirm the early bullish structure and set the foundation for a larger continuation move.

Upside target and potential 187% rally If the support flip is confirmed, PEPE’s next major target sits at the high-time-frame resistance near the value area high. This zone represents the next structural ceiling on the chart and would be the key liquidity target if bullish continuation develops.

A move into that region would represent a significant rally potential, roughly 187% upside from current levels based on the projected range expansion. While such a move would not happen instantly, the structure supports the possibility if volume remains intact and the reversal continues to develop.

Reclaiming the value area high would be a major confirmation that the broader bearish structure has been negated. It would signal that PEPE has shifted from corrective price action into a more sustained trend recovery.

Market structure shift and reversal conditions To confirm a full market structure reversal, PEPE needs to establish both a higher low and eventually a higher high. The bullish engulfing move represents the first stage of this transition, while the retest phase will determine whether the structure can hold.

If price maintains support and continues building bullish momentum, it increases the probability that PEPE can break through overhead resistance and fully transition into a new trend cycle.

Volume remains the key factor. A larger rally is most likely if volume stays elevated and supports continuation rather than fading during consolidation.

What to expect in the coming price action In the near term, PEPE is likely to remain focused on holding reclaimed support after its bullish engulfing breakout. As long as price continues to close above this support region and volume remains constructive, the probability of continuation toward value area high resistance increases.

WalletConnect reports support for more than 700 wallets. Its network has processed over $400 billion in volume in the past year, with stablecoins representing a large share of that activity. This footprint allows the Ingenico integration to plug into existing Web3 user behavior. It presents a familiar checkout flow at physical terminals, according to their press release.

Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect, framed stablecoins as a practical tool for value transfer and a logical next step for everyday payments.

“Stablecoins have become an important payment instrument for moving value quickly and efficiently,” said Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect. “By working with Ingenico, we’re extending stablecoin payments into real-world retail environments in a way that is practical, familiar and easy for both merchants and consumers around the world.”

Integration for acquirers (banks or companies that process card payments for merchants) and PSPs (payment service providers that help businesses accept electronic payments) is scheduled for January 2026.

Why the Partnership Matters Ingenico has operated in payment acceptance for more than four decades, with operations across dozens of countries and a leading share of the global POS terminal market. Its terminals are used by merchants across sectors such as retail, transport, and hospitality, and the company is part of Worldline’s broader payment services group after a multi-billion-dollar acquisition in 2020.

They have also worked more closely with the crypto industry. They have formed more partnerships with companies like Binance and Crypto.com in the past. Now that stablecoins are trending, this partnership comes at the perfect time to push crypto adoption in daily life, bringing it closer to card payments.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is jetting off to the Swiss Alps this week for a high-profile appearance that could potentially reignite IPO rumors. 

According to the latest agenda from the CfC St. Moritz (Crypto Finance Conference), Garlinghouse is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

The specific topic of his panel is: "Oil and Water? Are Crypto Companies Compatible With Traditional Public Markets?"

HOT Stories

The panel questions whether the nature of crypto can actually mesh with the rigid regulatory structures of traditional stock markets.

Garlinghouse will be joined by heavyweights, including Galaxy Digital President Christopher Ferraro. 

A highly exclusive event CfC St. Moritz is considered to be the most exclusive and "high-powered" investor conference in the digital asset space. It often gets compared to the World Economic Forum, which happens nearby in Davos shortly after.

This event is capped at 250 people, which sets it apart from massive retail conferences of the likes of Consensus or Token2049.

The audience consists almost entirely of family offices, institutional funds, and central bankers 

The theme is centered on the "maturity" of the asset class. The agenda focuses heavily on tokenization (RWAs), the intersection of banking and blockchain, as well as regulatory clarity.

No public offering According to a recent report by U.Today, Ripple President Monica Long recently shut down speculation regarding the company's public offering. 

Ripple no longer needs the public markets to fund its growth since it remains in a strong financia position. 

Safe Foundation and Ethena Labs announced a partnership aimed at expanding institutional use of USDe, Ethena’s tokenized dollar, within Safe Smart Accounts and the multisig environment. The agreement, presented in Zug, Switzerland, links two infrastructures already used by DAOs, protocols, and onchain entities with strict custody and treasury controls.

The collaboration introduces immediate benefits for users holding USDe in Safe accounts. First, Safe accounts that hold USDe receive a 10x multiplier on Ethena Sats points during the current Ethena rewards program, increasing incentives for early adopters and treasury managers. Second, the partnership delivers a direct user-experience improvement: Safe sponsors Ethereum mainnet gas fees for all transactions executed by USDe holders, removing transaction costs when interacting with the asset through Safe Smart Accounts.

Safe operates self-custody infrastructure that secures more than $60 billion in digital assets and processes roughly $4 billion in monthly transfers. On Ethereum mainnet alone, Safe Smart Accounts currently secure over $6 billion in stablecoin assets, positioning the platform as a central hub for institutional onchain activity.

Usage data reinforces the institutional angle of the agreement. As of January 2026, 85% of all Ethena capital held within Safe accounts is allocated to sUSDe, the staked version of USDe. The figure indicates that Safe users—primarily DAOs, protocols, and institutional entities—actively deploy Ethena products as part of treasury management rather than holding assets passively.

Major crypto tokens could skip extra disclosure rules, easing institutional trading and boosting U.S. market acceptance.

Market Sentiment:

Bullish Bearish Neutral

Created by Gabor Kovacs from DailyCoin

A draft U.S. Senate crypto bill suggests that major tokens, including XRP, Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Hedera (HBAR) may be treated like Bitcoin and Ethereum from the start. 

Sponsored

This would allow them to avoid extra disclosure and regulatory burdens that most other tokens would face. If confirmed, the move signals stronger regulatory acceptance and could make it easier for institutions to invest in these digital assets.

Draft Bill Signals Equal Treatment for Major TokensAs reported by journalist Eleanor Terrett, several leading crypto tokens could receive regulatory treatment equivalent to Bitcoin and Ethereum under a draft market structure bill circulating ahead of its official release by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee.

🚨NEW: Here’s an interesting section giving some tokens classification as non-ancillary assets based on their inclusion in exchange-traded products as of January 1, 2026.

— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) January 13, 2026 The incomplete draft includes a provision stating that if a major token is the main asset of an ETF listed on a U.S. stock exchange by January 1, 2026, it would be exempt from the disclosure requirements that apply to most other digital assets under the bill.

This lighter disclosure makes it easier, faster, and cheaper for institutions to invest in and trade the token.

Under this framework, Chainlink (LINK) is listed alongside XRP, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Dogecoin (DOGE), placing them on the same regulatory footing as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) from the outset of the legislation’s implementation.

Reduced Compliance Uncertainty for InvestorsThe provision represents a significant regulatory signal for the tokens, which have long existed in a gray area amid debates over classification and disclosure obligations. 

If enacted, the bill would reduce compliance uncertainty for investment products tied to these assets and could encourage broader institutional participation.

DeFi–TradFi Compromise and Broader Regulatory ContextBeyond token classification, the draft bill reflects a compromise between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). 

Section 601 reportedly protects software developers, after tense closed-door negotiations last week. TradFi groups had worried that DeFi could be used to bypass regulations.

The draft bill also includes two ethics rules, covering felony convictions and insider trading, while other committees handle most other ethics matters.

The document, however, does not include the section on stablecoin yield.

Why This Matters If passed, the bill would reduce regulatory hurdles for these XRP, Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), Hedera (HBAR), and Dogecoin (DOGE), making them easier for institutions to invest and trade while signaling growing U.S. acceptance of major crypto assets.

People Also Ask:What does “lighter disclosure” mean for crypto tokens?

Lighter disclosure means a token doesn’t have to submit as many reports or filings to regulators, making it faster, cheaper, and easier to invest in or trade.

Which tokens are affected by this draft bill?

According to the draft, major tokens like XRP, Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Hedera (HBAR) could benefit from lighter disclosure.

How does this compare to Bitcoin and Ethereum?

The draft treats these tokens similarly to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which already have more established regulatory clarity in the U.S.

Does this mean all crypto tokens get the same treatment?

No. The lighter disclosure only applies to certain major tokens listed as the main asset in an ETF. Most other tokens would still face standard reporting rules.

Hyperliquid price failed to reclaim key resistance and closed back below, confirming a failed auction setup that increases downside probability toward the $19.70 range-low support zone.

Summary

Failed reclaim near $27 confirms a failed auction setup Price remains below the Point of Control, keeping structure bearish Downside rotation targets $19.70 range-low support Hyperliquid’s (HYPE) price action exhibits clear bearish characteristics after failing to reclaim a key high-time-frame resistance level. The attempted breakout above resistance was short-lived, with price closing back below the level soon after.

This behavior is consistent with a failed auction, where the market briefly explores higher prices but cannot sustain acceptance due to weak demand.

Hyperliquid price key technical points Hyperliquid confirmed a failed auction after rejecting a key resistance reclaim Price is trading below the Point of Control, keeping momentum bearish Downside rotation favors a move toward $19.70 range-low support HYPEUSDT (4H) Chart, Source: TradingView A failed auction occurs when price pushes above a key level, often triggering breakout participation or liquidity sweeps, but then fails to hold and closes back below resistance. This reveals a lack of sustained demand and typically indicates sellers are absorbing buy-side pressure at higher levels.

In the current Hyperliquid structure, price attempted to reclaim the high-time-frame resistance zone near the $27 region, but was unable to maintain acceptance. The close back below the level confirms the auction failure, signaling that the move higher did not attract enough follow-through demand to shift market structure bullish.

This type of price action often acts as a reversal trigger within a range. Rather than confirming breakout continuation, the market rotates back into its previous value and begins searching for stronger demand below.

Point of control resistance and weak support conditions Following the failed reclaim, the Point of Control has now become a key overhead resistance. From a market profile perspective, the Point of Control represents the level where the highest amount of volume has traded, and it frequently acts as a pivot for price direction.

When price trades below the Point of Control after a failed auction, it suggests that market acceptance has shifted lower. This keeps short-term structure bearish and increases the probability of further downside exploration.

On the downside, the value area low is acting as the nearest support region, but price is currently holding this area only marginally. Weak defense at value area low often signals that buyers are not stepping in aggressively, and that support may eventually give way if selling pressure persists.

If the value area low fails to hold on a closing basis, the market becomes more likely to rotate toward deeper support levels within the range.

Market structure remains bearish From a market structure standpoint, Hyperliquid continues to trade within a bearish environment. The inability to reclaim resistance has reinforced seller control, and the failed auction further supports continuation lower rather than reversal.

The broader structure suggests that price is not currently building a base for a sustained rally. Instead, it is rotating lower through the range as liquidity and volume shift away from the highs.

In many failed auction scenarios, the market will revisit the lower boundary of the trading range, where stronger demand is typically located. This makes the $19.70 support zone the next major technical target.

Moving averages add bearish pressure Another bearish factor is the positioning of moving averages, which are now acting as dynamic resistance rather than support. When price trades below its key moving averages and fails to reclaim them, it often signals weakening momentum and trend continuation to the downside.

In Hyperliquid’s case, these moving averages are contributing additional resistance pressure, limiting upside attempts and increasing the probability of rotational continuation lower. This resistance overlay reinforces the failed auction signal and supports the bearish bias as long as price remains capped beneath these dynamic levels.

What to expect in the coming price action Hyperliquid is now positioned in a technically vulnerable zone, with the failed auction at $27 confirming weakness and shifting probability toward lower support testing. As long as price continues to trade below the Point of Control and remains unable to reclaim key moving averages, downside risk remains elevated.

ETH/USD Weekly Chart (Bitstamp) – Source: TradingView

The $2,800 is still the key structural support to watch. ETH has managed to stay above this mark, and this bounce coincides with the rise in transaction volumes cited earlier.

We envision a move to $3,900 if bullish momentum picks up steam, but we have not yet seen any concrete signals that this is the case.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has to rise above the 14-period moving average to confirm a buy signal, in which case ETH may start its journey to this key area of resistance. This would imply a 24% upside potential in the near term, for starters.

That said, if we get a bearish breakout below this mark, ETH could drop by around 42% to $1,600. This is in line with how bearish crossovers below the 100-week EMA have resulted in the past, but there have also been instances in which the move has been a false positive.

In such cases, bear traps have ended up propelling the token to higher highs. Hence, we have these two scenarios on the table. For now, the odds favor bulls unless a break below $2,800 occurs.

Meanwhile, $3,900 is a conservative target, as these same historical patterns support a move to $5,000 at least if positive momentum accelerates.

TL;DR

Bitcoin’s price growth diverges from rising global M2 money supply. Fidelity views the decoupling as temporary amid renewed monetary easing. Some analysts interpret the divergence as a potential bear market signal. Bitcoin continues to drift away from the global M2 money supply at the start of 2026, deepening a divergence that began in mid-2025 and challenging long-held macro frameworks used to explain price behavior.

For years, the expansion of global liquidity served as a core reference for bullish Bitcoin models. Historically, periods of accelerating M2 growth aligned with Bitcoin bull cycles, reinforcing the idea that scarce digital assets absorb excess capital during monetary easing. Recent data, however, shows a growing gap between both variables.

Data cited by Fidelity Digital Assets shows Bitcoin year-over-year growth turning negative, while global M2 year-over-year growth exceeds 10%. The correlation visible in prior cycles weakens further as 2026 begins. Bitcoin no longer tracks liquidity expansion in a linear way, raising questions about whether macro liquidity remains the dominant driver.

Fidelity maintains a constructive view In its January report, the firm argues that Bitcoin bull phases typically coincide with accelerating M2 and points to the end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening and renewed global monetary easing as supportive conditions. According to Fidelity, Bitcoin’s fixed supply allows it to absorb excess capital more directly than other assets once liquidity flows normalize.

Other analysts offer contrasting interpretations Market commentator MartyParty compares Bitcoin price action with global M2 using a 50-day lag, suggesting recent weakness reflects delayed adjustment rather than structural change. He argues price action may rebound to align with liquidity growth if historical lag patterns reassert.

#Bitcoin vs Global Liquidity – Lagged 50 days M2 says we bounce here – Jan 12th pic.twitter.com/hPw5ObpvAk

— MartyParty (@martypartymusic) January 12, 2026

Analyst Mister Crypto observes that prior periods of M2 decoupling often appeared near major market tops, followed by multi-year bear phases. From that view, the current divergence signals exhaustion rather than accumulation.

A separate explanation comes from Charles Edwards, who attributes the disconnect to technological risk rather than liquidity cycles. Edwards argues that 2025 marked Bitcoin’s entry into a “quantum risk window,” where the theoretical probability of quantum computing challenges to cryptography becomes non-zero. He suggests capital allocation now reflects risk reassessment rather than monetary expansion alone.

What’s next: Market participants continue to watch whether Bitcoin re-aligns with liquidity trends or establishes a new pricing framework driven by technology, geopolitics, and risk perception. The split among analysts highlights a market entering 2026 with more variables than prior cycles.

Key Takeaways CL used productivity gains to help offset higher raw material and packaging costs in Q3 2025.CL's Strategic Growth and Productivity Program is boosting efficiency, flexibility, and margin performance.CL is integrating AI and analytics across the supply chain and planning to support cash flow and agility. Colgate-Palmolive Company’s (CL - Free Report) productivity initiatives played a significant role in helping offset elevated raw material and packaging cost pressures in the third quarter of 2025. While higher input costs continued to weigh on gross margins, the company’s growth-funding efforts provided a meaningful offset, highlighting the importance of internal efficiency. In addition, the integration of AI and predictive analytics within the program is aimed at automating processes such as demand planning, supporting lower working capital requirements and stronger cash generation.

Colgate’s Strategic Growth and Productivity Program is becoming a key driver of margin performance as the company navigates cost inflation and uneven category trends. Management emphasized that the initiative is designed to transform the organization into a faster, more efficient, and better-aligned operation in line with its long-term strategic priorities. Importantly, the program also enhances P&L flexibility, helping offset headwinds from raw material inflation, tariffs and foreign exchange volatility.

The company is generating increased leverage across the P&L by continuing to optimize its supply chain. These improvements are delivering efficiency gains and cost benefits, allowing the business to improve financial performance despite overall volumes remaining softer. Management noted that it underpins a new operating model designed to support Colgate’s longer-term strategy, including greater use of data, analytics and digital tools, improved marketing effectiveness and increased supply chain agility.

Colgate is leaning on disciplined cost control and productivity gains to defend margins, but the key question is whether efficiency alone can offset softer demand and persistent input cost pressures. Overall, Colgate has been clear that this is not a short-term solution. The company expects productivity benefits to accrue over time, particularly as savings are reinvested to drive growth.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - January 13, 2026) - National plaintiffs' law firm Berger Montague PC announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) ("Klarna" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Klarna securities during the period of September 7, 2025 through December 22, 2025 (the "Class Period"), including shares issued pursuant and/or traceable to Klarna's September 2025 initial public offering ("IPO").

Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased Klarna securities during the Class Period may, no later than February 20, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE.

Klarna, a United Kingdom company headquartered in Sweden, offers Buy Now, Pay Later ("BNPL") solutions, connecting consumers and merchants and extending loans for small retail transactions.

According to the lawsuit, Klarna's IPO documents failed to disclose material financial risks to the Company. Defendants are alleged to have significantly underestimated the likelihood that its loss reserves would rise sharply shortly after its IPO, a risk linked to the high-risk profiles of its customers, many of whom were experiencing financial hardships and/or were unsophisticated and were thus at risk of defaulting on their loan obligations.

On November 18, 2025, Bloomberg reported that Klarna had set aside greater provisions for credit losses than anticipated by the market. The price of Company shares declined in response. By the time the complaint in this action was filed, shares closed at $31.31 per share, a loss in value of 21% from the IPO price of $40 per share.

Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Assurant (AIZ - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry.

This insurer has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 30.48%.

For the most recent quarter, Assurant was expected to post earnings of $4.23 per share, but it reported $5.73 per share instead, representing a surprise of 35.46%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $4.43 per share, while it actually produced $5.56 per share, a surprise of 25.51%.

Price and EPS Surprise

Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Assurant lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Assurant has an Earnings ESP of +1.92% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on February 10, 2026.

With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
