Here's How High The Dogecoin Price Would If It Repeats Previous Parabolic Runs cryptonews
DOGE
Dogecoin’s price action has a habit of compressing quietly before going on a massive rally, and the late-2024 rally is one of the clearest examples of that behavior. After spending weeks grinding sideways around $0.10, the meme coin transitioned into a parabolic phase that carried the price to about $0.45 in a matter of two to three months. 

Now, how high would the Dogecoin price go if it were to repeat that same parabolic structure?

How Dogecoin’s Late-2024 Parabolic Run Played Out The 2024 rally began from a base that had formed just above $0.10, right where Dogecoin spent a long time absorbing sell pressure. Once buyers regained control, Dogecoin cleared intermediate resistance around $0.15 and $0.20 with minimal pullbacks, then entered a vertical phase that pushed it through $0.30 and to $0.45.

The key takeaway from that period is not just the magnitude of the move, but its speed, as Dogecoin delivered a roughly 4.5x increase in a very short time window of less than four weeks.

That move unfolded rapidly, with little warning, and was characterized by expanding volume, strong bullish candles on the 4-hour candlestick timeframe, and momentum indicators pressing into overheated territory. As shown in the chart below, this period was characterized by high RSI readings that pushed into the 70 to 80 range.

Source: Chart from Jimmy on X Applying The Same Parabolic Structure Parabolic rallies often catch many investors off guard. Particularly, one of the defining features of Dogecoin’s strongest rallies is that they rarely announce themselves clearly. Since Dogecoin has performed like that before, then it is not out of proportion to expect similar performance, especially considering that it is now back to trading close to the lows that it rebounded from in late 2024.

If Dogecoin were to produce a similar percentage expansion from a higher base, the arithmetic would also be straightforward. Using $0.15 as a reference level, a move equivalent to the late-2024 rally would project the price to around $0.60 to $0.67. 

That scenario assumes the same kind of rally seen previously, where the consolidation finally gives way to a parabolic rally, not a gradual grind higher. In practical terms, a trader holding 1,000 DOGE at $0.15 would have a position valued near $150 at entry, while a move to anywhere between $0.60 and $0.67 would lift that same holding into the $600 to $675 range. 

These figures do not come with any suggested timeline. Instead, they serve to show how Dogecoin’s past parabolic moves would translate if the same price behavior were applied to current levels. Even under that framework, the projected move is below Dogecoin’s existing all-time high of $0.76. 

At the same time, separate outlooks are already pointing to a push beyond that peak, with one notable prediction expecting a move to $0.80 very soon.

Ethereum Treasury Firm SharpLink Stakes $170 Million of ETH on Linea cryptonews
ETH LINEA SBET
In brief SharpLink Gaming staked $170 million worth of ETH on Ethereum layer-2 network, Linea. In October, the firm announced its intentions to stake up to $200 million on Linea to earn higher risk-adjusted yields. Shares of SBET rose 1.4% on Thursday but remain down nearly 37% in the last six months. Publicly traded Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink Gaming has deployed $170 million worth of ETH to Ethereum layer-2 scaling network, Linea, the firm announced on Thursday. 

The Minneapolis, MN-based firm previously said that it would stake up to $200 million worth of Ethereum as part of a multi-year effort on the network as a way to optimize on-chain yields for its Ethereum holdings. 

“This deal allowed SharpLink to generate additional yield, in excess of its current staking rewards, while pushing the industry to embrace institutional-grade DeFi,” SharpLink CIO Matt Sheffield told Decrypt.

“A public company, deploying into liquid staking, then bridging, all without leaving a qualified custodian,” he added. “This was multiple industry firsts, and it is a milestone on our journey to make our treasury the most productive exposure to ETH.” 

Stockholders were privy to a gain of around 1.4% on Thursday, with shares of SBET changing hands at $10.28 at the close of trading. That mark is more than 33% below SBET’s level when the staking plan was announced in October. 

As the second-largest publicly traded Ethereum treasury firm, SharpLink maintains a treasury of 864,840 ETH valued at nearly $2.7 billion—all of which is staked via its custodians. With its recent deployment on Linea, it will gain re-staking rewards from Eigen Cloud as well as incentives from EtherFi and Linea, in addition to native ETH staking yields.

Though the firm would not disclose incentives on a deal-by-deal basis, Sheffield told Decrypt that the firm intends to “do many more deals of this nature, accretive to our stockholders, as we earn the excess DeFi yields.” 

In September, SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom told Decrypt that it is important for the firm to drive real-world activity to “Ethereum-aligned” products like Linea given its interest in Ethereum’s success. 

But SharpLink is also a member of the Linea Consortium, a group of firms that help manage the distribution of the LINEA token. It also maintains another connection to Linea via Chairman Joseph Lubin, who co-founded Ethereum and is both a founder and CEO of Consensys, the software development firm that incubated Linea’s layer-2 network. 

(Disclaimer: Consensys is one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt). 

The layer-2 network launched its native token in September, and has since seen a steady decline in total value locked (TVL) on the network. According to data from DefiLlama, TVL peaked at $1.64 billion on the network around 2 weeks after the token launch. Since that time it has fallen around 89% to just $185.74 million. 

“This is just the beginning of making SharpLink’s ETH treasury resources even more productive for shareholders,” said Sheffield. “SharpLink is creating a new on-chain paradigm for capital markets. Our belief is that Ethereum will be the bedrock of global finance, and this is a big step toward modeling DeFi for institutions at scale on a risk-adjusted basis.”

ETH has fallen around 1% in the last 24 hours to change hands at $3,115. It remains 37% off its all-time high of $4,946.

Polygon Launches Open Money Stack to Reinvent Cross-Border Payments cryptonews
MATIC POL
TL;DR

Polygon Labs introduced Open Money Stack, a modular framework for stablecoin payments and cross-border transfers, scheduled to launch in 2026. The system operates across multiple blockchains and allows institutions and fintech firms to integrate onchain settlement, fiat access, and regulatory control modules. Open Money Stack unifies liquidity, payment orchestration, and blockchain settlement rails, removes token swaps and cross-chain bridges, and reduces reliance on multiple providers. Polygon Labs introduced Open Money Stack, a modular framework focused on stablecoin payments and cross-border value transfers. The system was announced on January 8, with a launch planned for later in 2026. The proposal aims to unify the core components of the payments stack within an interoperable and configurable infrastructure.

Open Money Stack is designed to operate across multiple blockchains. The model allows financial institutions, fintech firms, and developers to integrate only the modules they need, without adopting a closed network or relying on a single provider. Polygon stated that the objective is to enable onchain settlement, fiat access, and regulatory compliance within a single architecture.

The framework groups functions that are typically handled through separate services. It includes liquidity management, payment orchestration, blockchain settlement rails, and regulatory controls. Polygon said this integration is intended to reduce operational complexity and remove the need to coordinate multiple providers to execute international stablecoin payments.

Polygon Will Unify All the Tools to Move Stablecoins Across Borders The design of Open Money Stack reduces the technical complexities commonly associated with crypto payments. Transfers can be executed without token swaps or cross-chain bridges. Each company can build payment flows tailored to its operational and regulatory requirements, while maintaining connectivity with other systems and blockchains.

The launch will align with the growing use of stablecoins in cross-border payments. At the same time, banks and traditional financial providers continue to develop products linked to tokenized money. Open Money Stack is positioned as an infrastructure layer for these flows, aimed at institutional-scale operations.

Standardizing Payment Construction According to Polygon Labs, the system aims to standardize the construction of stablecoin payments without imposing a single model. The goal is to concentrate all critical functions within a common stack while preserving a high degree of flexibility in implementation.

Sandeep Nailwal, founder of Polygon, said the initiative seeks to move money onchain in an open and interoperable way. Open Money Stack could become a core piece of the foundational infrastructure for the future of international stablecoin payments

Florida Advances Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Legislation for 2026, Narrows Focus cryptonews
BTC
The US state of Florida is advancing an earlier proposal for a crypto strategic reserve, but has narrowed its focus to expedite the process. The Sunshine State is among multiple US jurisdictions, including Texas, Arizona, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Alabama, and Utah, that are exploring a Bitcoin strategic reserve. The race is on as several states are expediting the process to gain the first-mover advantage.

According to the Florida Senate archives, the bill details the new proposal, and the Senate has about 6 months to deliberate on this measure and pass it. However, it will need approval from the Senate Appropriations Committee on Agriculture, Environment, and General Government before it can be sent to the full Senate for approval. 

According to the proposal, the cryptocurrency considered for such a strategic reserve should have an average market capitalization of at least $500 billion over the preceding two years. Only Bitcoin itself meets the standard of this reserve right now, with a market cap exceeding $1 trillion, while Ethereum ($370 billion), XRP ($126 billion), and the rest of the pack are ineligible. However, Ethereum may be able to sneak above the threshold if it receives a sustainable boost in the near future.

The new proposal is also an attempt to narrow the focus of earlier efforts that began with the Florida House of Representatives and didn’t proceed. The Florida SB 1038 eliminates the possibility of involving retirement funds and now envisages a standalone crypto reserve directly under the state’s finance department.

Florida still lags behind While the new bill shows that the Florida state apparatus is willing to kickstart a new wave of state-backed cryptocurrency adoption, further research shows that it is lagging behind others. Here is the breakdown across the pro-crypto states:

Image Source: Bitcoin Laws The Arizona (AZ) House of Representatives and the Texas (TX) Senate have taken a lead in this scenario and enacted legislation to start such a strategic reserve. Texas became the first state to actually start such a reserve with a $5 million purchase back in June 2025. Earlier in May, New Hampshire became the first US state to approve such a state-backed measure, so FL is clearly lagging behind here. 

The next weeks are expected to be interesting for the Florida strategic reserve, as the Senate committee is expected to actively deliberate on the proceedings. However, given the poor run of form for the embattled digital asset in 2025, the outcome may not be as upbeat as crypto enthusiasts would like.

Cryptographers who mass exited Electric Coin Company debut new Zcash wallet cryptonews
ZEC
The researchers and developers who mass-exited the Electric Coin Company are building a new Zcash wallet, under the "codename" cashz, to compete with the privacy network's flagship wallet Zashi.

"After you've joined the waitlist, just sit tight for a few weeks while we boot up cashZ. Once it's live, we’ll make sure the migration for every Zashi user is as easy as what you experience in Zashi today."

In a post on the new cashz website, ex-CEO of the Electric Coin Company Josh Swihart noted that cashz is being developed using "the same Zashi codebase we built."

On Thursday, Swihart announced that the entire staff of the for-profit ECC resigned en masse following a disagreement with Bootstrap, the company’s nonprofit board. While exact details remain unclear, a core dispute revolved around monetizing parts of the Zcash protocol, including, potentially, the Zashi wallet. It appears the board resisted "alternative structures to privatize Zashi" on legal, political, and corporate concerns, according to a message from Bootstrap.

In his post, Swihart notes that the nonprofit foundation model for crypto development is an outdated legacy from an era of pre-Trump regulatory uncertainty. But these "compliance" buffers have led to "bureaucratic lethargy" and misalignment. 

"The reason the mixture of nonprofits and tech startups doesn't work is at its root about misalignment. Nonprofits are about rule-lawyering, while tech startups are about rewriting the rules," Swihart wrote, arguing that profit incentives drive innovation.

"Basically, there's no benefit in keeping a fast-growing technology company under a nonprofit when the substance of the organization is a for-profit, and there might be real downside," he added.

Bootstrap is distinct from the nonprofit Zcash Foundation. The parent nonprofit was created in 2020 specifically to take ownership of the Electric Coin Company.

The news comes amid a period of rekindled interest in privacy tech broadly and Zcash in particular, which was one of the top-performing digital assets in the second half of 2025. Launched in 2016 as a fork of Bitcoin and highly refined since, Zcash was developed by some of the world's most preeminent cryptographers.

Zcash's ZEC token sold off sharply on Thursday following the ECC crew news, while rival Monero reclaimed its top spot as the largest privacy coin by market capitalization.

PEPE Whale Eats Half-Million Deficit: $0.00001 Rally Cooked? cryptonews
PEPE
Over it: following 5 months of holding, this whale throws in the towel at a huge deficit: bear or bottom signal?

Market Sentiment:

Bullish Bearish Neutral

Published: January 8, 2026 │ 6:46 PM GMT

Created by Gabor Kovacs from DailyCoin

The popular frog-decorated meme coin Pepe Coin (PEPE) leapfrogged to a fresh monthly peak last week, but has dropped 6.9% from this milestone today. Right now, the Pepe Coin’s believers rely on the surging trading volume, as PEPE leads in this category with billions of dollars a day.

Key Price Hurdle Cleared, PEPE Whales Still SellOn the other side of this bullish PEPE tale are the profit-taking large investors, popularly referred to as whales. Some of the largest PEPE Coin holders have sold off all their tokens at a massive loss, as portrayed in the latest instance by LookOnChain.

Sponsored

One crypto whale sold 129.15 billion PEPE tokens at a $511K deficit after holding the popular Ethereum-based meme coin for over 5 months, the research noted. Despite still holding above $800K in a flurry of mid & low-cap meme coins, the trader’s action portrays a worrying trend if other crypto whales feel the same way.

While PEPE’s current price is still above the key support of $0.000005407, clearing this hurdle doesn’t necessarily mean whales believe in crypto’s favorite frog eating a zero. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) depicts a story of slight profit-taking across top exchanges like Binance & Coinbase on the 4-hour charts.

Pepe’s Real Price Setup & The Shadow Of $60B BTCZooming out, the profit-taking looks way more intense, sending the CMF index below -0.30 on the daily time-frame. The good news is that PEPE’s current price setup has crossed over the Smoothed Moving Average (SMA), presented in purple color in the daily PEPE price chart below.

What happens in the next few days will be crucial to determine the length of the all-around meme coin rally in 2026. Kicking off strong, major-caps are now seeing double-digit retreats as geopolitical concerns plant more uncertainty surrounding the global financial landscape.

With Donald Trump’s administration making strong moves in the American continent, it’s yet to be determined how this plays out on the broader crypto & stock markets in the long-term. Venezuela’s rumoured to be a big player in Bitcoin (BTC), holding reserves of $60 billion if true.

The destiny of those assets would likely have implications for the rest of the market, not just BTC. Sporting a high price correlation with the flagship asset, PEPE Coin’s profit-taking could be overshadowed by renewed buying power.

For that, Bitcoin (BTC) would have to reclaim the cost-basis checkpoint of $100K, viewed by many connoisseurs as the confirmation of a bull run.

People Also Ask:What exactly did this PEPE whale do?

Wallet 0x7274 dumped 129.15 billion PEPE (worth ~$822K) after holding for over five months, locking in a realized loss of approximately $511K.

Why sell PEPE Coin at such a big deficit?

Likely capitulation amid waning momentum in PEPE’s early-2026 rally – cutting losses before potential deeper dips, common in volatile memes when hype cools.

How does this fit into the broader picture?

PEPE’s up over 50% weekly on meme frenzy & whale transaction spikes (620% WoW), but this exit adds selling pressure and highlights risks of over-leveraged longs.

Solana Attempts a Rebound as Consolidation Nears End—Can SOL Price Break the $145 Barrier? cryptonews
SOL
Solana is one of the most closely watched cryptos since its breakout in 2021, attracting sustained interest from retail traders, whales, and institutions. Since the start of 2026, sentiment surrounding SOL price has become increasingly optimistic, supported by rising institutional engagement, including ETF-related filings involving major financial players, as well as continued network upgrades and ecosystem expansion. The growing adoption of DeFi, tokenisation initiatives, and broader Solana-based projects has reinforced the long-term bullish narrative.

Despite these tailwinds, SOL has struggled to establish a firm base above the $145–$150 zone. Following the pullback from the 2025 highs, sellers successfully pushed the price below $150, transforming it into a supply zone. Repeated rejections from this range indicate active distribution, with bears defending the level aggressively. Until SOL can reclaim and hold above this supply band, upside attempts are likely to remain capped.

As seen in the chart, Solana price has remained range-bound for several months, oscillating between well-defined support and resistance zones. Buying interest has consistently emerged between $128 and $119, reinforcing demand below the $131–$128 support band. However, upside attempts continue to stall within the $130–$144 supply zone, where repeated sell-offs point to sustained distribution. This persistent supply has prevented SOL from reclaiming the $145 resistance, a level that would be critical to opening the path toward $150 and above. For now, liquidity appears to be thinning, with the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) showing a notable bearish divergence.

Despite this near-term pressure, momentum indicators are beginning to tilt in favor of the bulls. The MACD signals waning selling pressure and hints at a potential bullish crossover. Besides, the RSI is attempting to recover toward higher levels, suggesting strengthening upside momentum. These developments indicate that SOL may be quietly building strength, and a sustained pickup in volume could support a push back toward the $145–$150 range.

The broader structure suggests Solana (SOL) price is in a consolidation phase rather than a trend reversal. From a wider perspective, this prolonged range could be laying the groundwork for a stronger bullish expansion once key resistance levels are decisively reclaimed.

Florida becomes latest state to pursue bitcoin reserve ahead of 2026 session cryptonews
BTC
Florida lawmakers have filed a new proposal that would authorize the creation of a state-managed bitcoin reserve, marking the latest attempt by a U.S. state to formally place the cryptocurrency on its balance sheet ahead of the 2026 legislative session set to kick off on Jan. 13.

Senate Bill 1038 would establish a Florida Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve overseen by the state’s chief financial officer. Rather than permitting bitcoin investments across existing public funds, the measure creates a standalone reserve structure with its own custody rules, reporting requirements, and advisory committee.

Under the proposal, the CFO would be permitted to purchase cryptocurrencies with an average market capitalization of at least $500 billion over the prior 24 months, a threshold that currently limits eligibility solely to bitcoin.

The legislation is sponsored by state Sen. Joe Gruters. The Block reached out to Gruters for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Florida has also considered similar measures in recent years. Companion House and Senate bills filed during the 2025 session that would have allowed portions of public funds to be invested in bitcoin stalled in committee and ultimately died before advancing, according to the Bitcoin Laws digital asset legislation tracker.

A separate House bill filed by Republican Webster Barnaby in October for the 2026 session remains pending. That proposal would authorize the chief financial officer and other public entities to allocate up to 10% of certain state and local funds to digital assets and exchange-traded products, a broader approach that touches pensions and multiple trust funds.

Gruters' newly filed Senate bill adopts a narrower framework by isolating bitcoin holdings within a dedicated reserve rather than altering how existing public funds are invested.

Other states already in motion The proposal proposal comes as several other states are beginning to put their bitcoin-related legislation into practice. 

In Texas, lawmakers last year approved a state bitcoin reserve, with reports in November pointing to an initial $5 million purchase of BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF, IBIT.

Meanwhile, New Hampshire and Arizona have enacted narrower frameworks governing how public entities may hold or interact with bitcoin, rather than establishing full reserves.

Solana Sees 740% Surge in Buying Pressure Amid ETF Buzz — What's Next for the Price? cryptonews
SOL
Solana Sees 740% Surge in Buying Pressure Amid ETF Buzz — What’s Next for the Price?Solana price is up 8% weekly, down 2% daily, and holding above $133 support.Speculative supply fell 35%, while holder net buying jumped 740% since December 24.Breakout requires a daily close above $143, opening upside toward the $178 target.Solana price is pulling back, but the structure remains bullish. The 2% day-on-day dip comes as a new Solana-focused ETF was filed, putting SOL back in focus in a relatively volatile crypto market. Despite a mild daily decline, Solana is still up over 8% on the week, holding up better than most large-cap peers.

Beneath the surface, positioning is shifting in ways that support stability rather than weakness.

Morgan Stanley ETF Filing Arrives as Solana Tests a Key StructureThe recent Solana ETF filing by Morgan Stanley on January 6, 2026, adds a fresh narrative layer to an already active chart setup. Even though the price has not reacted sharply, Solana is consolidating near a major bullish pattern as institutional attention increases.

On the daily chart, Solana continues to form an inverse head and shoulders structure. This pattern often signals a potential move higher once confirmed.

The left shoulder formed in late November. The head surfaced in mid-December. The right shoulder is now developing as price pulls back from recent highs.

Solana Breakout Structure: TradingViewWant more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.

Even if Solana dips another 8% to 10%, the price would still remain within the left-shoulder zone. For now, $121 seems like a good support zone for a bounce, as this is the level where the left shoulder formed.

A clean break above the neckline would open a measured 24% upside from the breakout level. Therefore, the bullish structure remains intact.

Capital Flow Stays Positive as Speculative Supply ExitsCapital flow data supports the idea that this pullback is controlled. Chaikin Money Flow, which tracks whether capital is entering or leaving an asset, has trended higher since early November.

Even during periods when the Solana price moved lower, CMF continued rising. Most importantly, CMF remains above the zero line, signaling net large inflows. During the latest dip, CMF did not roll over, showing capital has stayed engaged.

Capital Flows: TradingViewAt the same time, speculative supply is clearly leaving, as visible using the HODL Waves metric, which segregates cohorts based on the duration of Solana holdings. Wallets holding Solana for one day to one week reduced their share of supply from about 6.0% to 3.9% between December 24 and January 7. That is a 35% reduction, even as Solana gained nearly 8% over the same period.

HODL Waves Showing Short-Term Dumping: GlassnodeSponsored

Another short-term group, the one-month to three-month holders, also trimmed exposure. Their share fell from 21.57% to 19.95%, a drop of roughly 7.5%.

Short-Term Speculative Money Leaving SOL: GlassnodeThis matters because speculative selling usually pressures the price. This time, price has remained stable, showing that sell pressure is being absorbed.

Buying Pressure Jumps 740% as Strong Hands Absorb SupplyThat absorption is clear in the holder net position data, which tracks the position of long-term investors. Since December 24, buying pressure has increased sharply.

Net position change rose from roughly 189,000 SOL to about 1.59 million SOL by January 7. That represents a 740% increase in net buying pressure in under two weeks. January 7 saw the largest inflow, the day after the ETF product was made public.

Buying Pressure Continues To Increase: GlassnodeThis surge explains why Solana has avoided a deeper pullback despite visible profit-taking from short-term traders. It also lines up with the steady rise in CMF, confirming that capital is flowing in, not out.

From here, price levels define the next phase. Solana needs to hold above $133 to keep the structure stable. Pullbacks toward $130 still fit the right-shoulder formation. Even a move toward $121 would not invalidate the pattern.

For upside confirmation, Solana must reclaim $143. A daily close above that level would confirm the breakout and activate the path toward $178.

Solana Price Analysis: TradingViewWith speculative supply declining, buying pressure surging, and capital flow staying positive, Solana’s pullback continues to look healthy. The next move depends on whether the SOL price can convert that positioning into a neckline break.

Optimism Targets DAO Funding Issues With OP Buyback Strategy cryptonews
OP
TL;DR

Optimism proposes using 50% of Superchain revenue for monthly OP buybacks, beginning in February if governance approves the plan on January 22. Optimism says the Superchain, including Base, Unichain, Ink, World Chain, Soneium, and OP Mainnet, contributed 5,868 ETH in 12 months to a governed treasury. Purchased OP would return to the treasury and could be burned or used as staking rewards, while the rest stays managed by the Foundation. Optimism is pitching a new way to improve funding discipline by tying tokenholder value to Superchain revenue rather than relying on governance symbolism. In a January 8 post, the Optimism Foundation introduced a proposal to use 50% of incoming Superchain revenue to buy back OP tokens, starting in February if approved. The aim is to align OP with demand across OP Stack chains as activity scales. The core bet is that revenue funded buybacks create persistent token demand, making DAO funding feel less cyclical and more system driven. Governance will still set rules.

How Optimism Targets DAO Funding With OP Token Buybacks Optimism frames the Superchain as mature infrastructure: it says the OP Stack has become the default choice for builders, with exchanges, enterprises, and institutions standardizing on the Superchain for security, scalability, and economic clarity. In the same post, it cites 61.4% Layer 2 fee market share and says the Superchain processes 13% of all crypto transactions, with that share rising. Against that backdrop, aligning OP with Superchain momentum is the stated objective, so token incentives track real network usage rather than narrative. It says every new chain and transaction expands the buyback base.

Optimism says it earns revenue from the Superchain, a network of L2 chains built on the OP Stack that includes Base, Unichain, Ink, World Chain, Soneium, OP Mainnet, and more. These chains contribute a portion of sequencer revenue back to Optimism, and the post says that in the past 12 months Optimism collected 5,868 ETH, with 100% dedicated to a treasury overseen by governance. Under the new proposal, 50% of incoming Superchain revenue would fund monthly OP buybacks for the next year, linking growth to demand. Remaining revenue would be available for management.

How it works is clear. The proposal recommends buybacks on a monthly basis, with OP purchased through the program flowing back into the treasury. Optimism says those tokens could later be burned or distributed as staking rewards as the platform evolves, while governance retains oversight over parameters that control the buyback and the treasury. It also says the Foundation would manage ETH revenue not directed to buybacks, in addition to a staking program, enabling treasury management. With a vote set for January 22, February becomes the execution checkpoint if the Collective approves.

Bearish Signal Emerges For Ethereum As US Spot Demand Fades cryptonews
ETH
Ethereum has once again failed to hold above a critical resistance zone, retracing from the $3,300 level back toward the $3,100 area. The pullback highlights the market’s ongoing struggle to establish a sustainable recovery, as bullish momentum continues to fade near key technical thresholds. While buyers have managed to prevent a deeper correction for now, the inability to reclaim higher levels has reinforced a cautious tone across the market.

Beyond price action, on-chain data adds an important layer to this weakness. According to data from CryptoQuant, Ethereum’s Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped sharply into negative territory. This metric, often used as a proxy for US institutional demand, reflects the price difference between Coinbase and offshore exchanges. A negative reading suggests that buying interest from US-based investors is lagging behind global activity, reducing the probability of a strong upside continuation.

Historically, sustained Ethereum rallies have coincided with a positive Coinbase Premium, signaling consistent institutional accumulation. The current divergence between price attempts to stabilize and weakening US demand creates a structural headwind for bulls. As long as this premium remains negative, reclaiming the $3,300 level becomes increasingly difficult.

For now, Ethereum appears trapped in a fragile range, where price stability depends less on aggressive buying and more on the absence of renewed selling pressure. The coming sessions will be decisive in determining whether this consolidation evolves into a recovery or resolves to the downside.

Coinbase Premium Weakness Undermines Recovery Attempt A new on-chain signal is reinforcing the cautious outlook for Ethereum as it trades below key resistance. Analysis shared by CryptoQuant and highlighted by CryptoOnchain shows that the Coinbase Premium Gap has deteriorated sharply, reaching its most negative level in nearly a year. The 14-day moving average of the metric has fallen to around -2.3, indicating that ETH prices on Coinbase are trading at a notable discount compared to Binance.

Ethereum Coinbase Premium Gap | Source: CryptoQuant This divergence matters because Coinbase activity is often used as a proxy for US institutional demand. When the premium turns deeply negative, it typically signals that buyers in the US spot market are either stepping aside or actively distributing rather than accumulating. That dynamic is unfolding as Ethereum remains capped below the $3,300 resistance zone, following its sharp correction from the October peak near $4,700.

The combination of weak price follow-through and declining Coinbase demand creates a bearish divergence. While ETH attempts to stabilize, the lack of institutional participation reduces the probability of a sustained breakout. Historically, strong Ethereum rallies have required a positive Coinbase Premium, reflecting consistent inflows from US-based investors.

Until this gap narrows and flips back into positive territory, Ethereum’s upside appears constrained. For now, the data suggests caution is warranted, as the persistence of weak US demand increases the risk that recent consolidation resolves into another leg lower rather than a confirmed recovery.

Ethereum Struggles As Recovery Lacks Confirmation Ethereum’s price action remains fragile after failing to reclaim the $3,300 resistance zone. On the daily chart, ETH is trading near the $3,100–$3,150 area, a level that has acted as a short-term pivot but has not yet attracted strong follow-through from buyers. The broader structure still reflects a corrective phase rather than a confirmed trend reversal.

ETH consolidates below key resistance levels | Source: ETHUSDT chart on TradingView From a technical perspective, ETH remains below its key moving averages. The 50-day moving average is sloping downward and continues to cap upside attempts, while the 100-day and 200-day moving averages sit higher, reinforcing a heavy overhead supply zone between roughly $3,300 and $3,600. Each rally into this region over recent weeks has been met with renewed selling pressure, highlighting persistent distribution.

The sequence of lower highs since the October peak near $4,700 remains intact. Although price has stabilized compared to the sharp November sell-off, the rebound so far resembles consolidation within a bearish structure rather than a new impulsive move. Volume has also moderated during recent advances, suggesting limited conviction behind the bounce.

On the downside, the $2,900–$3,000 range stands out as a critical support area. A sustained break below this zone would expose Ethereum to a deeper retracement toward the mid-$2,600s. For bullish momentum to regain credibility, ETH must reclaim $3,300 with strength and hold above the declining moving averages. Until then, the chart argues for caution, with downside risks still present despite short-term stabilization.

Here's Why Bitcoin's Next Major Rally Matters For Short-Term BTC Holders' Sentiment cryptonews
BTC
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Despite the recent pullback, the price of Bitcoin has managed to hold above the $91,000 level as the market shifts towards a volatile state once again. While BTC continues to face sideways movements, short-term holders remain underwater. However, a sharp bounce above a specific level could be a game-changer for these investors.

A Make-Or-Break Point For Bitcoin STHs Is Fast Approaching Following the brief bounce on Monday, Bitcoin is closing in on a pivotal price zone that could reshape the sentiment and behavior of short-term BTC holders. This objective was disclosed by Alphractal, an advanced investment and on-chain data analytics platform, after examining the BTC Short-Term Holder NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss).

As the market approaches this threshold, On-chain measures indicate a change in attitude, with speculative capital starting to reevaluate risk, spending patterns shifting, and unrealized profits and losses constricting. The level signifies the zone where feeble hands may capitulate or re-enter the market with conviction.

According to the platform, the Bitcoin short-term holder NUPL has started to rise again and is currently heading toward the 0 level. Such a move toward the level indicates that the holders are moving to a break-even zone and are close to lowering their unrealized losses.

BTC short-term holders are still in loss | Source: Chart from Alphractal on X It is important to note that the area around the 0 level has historically served as a resistance for the short-term holder NUPL metric. However, a move into positive territory is only expected to occur if BTC breaks above and holds the $99,000 mark, which currently represents the short-term holder realized price.

Until that happens, the platform highlighted that the majority of short-term holders continue to operate at a loss. Interestingly, this will keep the market sensitive to volatility spikes and defensive profit-taking, especially from the group.

Whether the $99,000 level serves as a launchpad or a stress test, it is clear that Bitcoin’s path to this crucial area might completely change the near-term environment for both traders and short-term investors. 

BTC’s Bullish Movement Is Weak Because Of Investors’ Demand Bitcoin quickly lost its renewed bullish momentum, and several reasons have been linked to why this happened. However, one of the key reasons that stands out strongly is the demand for the flagship crypto asset.

In a CryptoQuant Quicktake research, Caueconomy, a market expert and author, revealed that the demand for BTC is still weak and needs to recover. Despite the price of BTC recently rising to the $93,000 level, the expert noted that apparent on-chain demand is still low and requires a stronger comeback to sustain a return to $100,000.

Currently, demand for a return to on-chain movement has not yet shown clear signs of improvement due to the market’s low trading volume and still conflicting attitude. However, Caueconomy stated that this could happen now, with the end of the holiday period, as many investors are likely to reduce trading.

Ripple Stays Private, Surprising Crypto Investors cryptonews
XRP
21h05 ▪ 4 min read ▪ by Luc Jose A.

Summarize this article with:

While the crypto industry is multiplying IPOs to gain legitimacy, Ripple opts for a different path. Against all odds, its president Monica Long has dismissed any IPO, despite a valuation of 40 billion dollars and the end of the showdown with the SEC. Thus, contrary to the signals sent to the market, this refusal marks a clear intention : to remain independent in order to better control its growth and governance, while consolidating its status in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

In brief Ripple officially dismisses any IPO, despite a valuation reaching 40 billion dollars. Monica Long, president of Ripple Labs, states that the company can fund its growth without relying on public markets. This decision surprises, as several recent signals hinted at an imminent IPO. This stance marks a clear intent to integrate into the traditional banking landscape while maintaining strategic independence. A postponed IPO : the financial strategy of a crypto giant The end of the long legal battle with the SEC opens new prospects for Ripple. Thus, interviewed by Bloomberg this Tuesday January 6, Monica Long, president of Ripple Labs, declared unambiguously : “for now, we still intend to remain a private company”.

A statement that dispels persistent rumors about an IPO, fueled by the company’s recent financial developments. Long specified that Ripple does not need to resort to public markets to finance its growth : “we are in a very healthy financial situation, which allows us to continue funding and investing in our company’s growth without going public”.

Speculations were nevertheless fueled by several concrete elements :

A massive fundraising of 500 million dollars in November 2025, led by Citadel Securities and Fortress Investment Group ; A Ripple valuation raised to 40 billion dollars following this operation, increasing market expectations for a future IPO ; The post-litigation context with the SEC, interpreted as a potential green light for an IPO ; Comparisons with other industry players, such as Circle or BitGo, who have already launched or planned their IPO. Faced with these signals, Ripple opposes an independent growth strategy, without reliance on public markets to raise capital. The choice to remain private is assumed as a strategic stance, allowing the company to keep its flexibility and governance while continuing its international expansion.

A regulatory and banking shift behind the scenes Beyond the IPO question, Ripple is discreetly but significantly strengthening its regulatory positioning.

Last December, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved Ripple’s request to operate as a national trust bank in the United States. A major development that would allow the company to offer institutional financial services under a federal charter.

It should be noted that Ripple specified in its request that this structure will not be used to issue a dollar-backed stablecoin, unlike some of its competitors such as Circle, which also obtained this approval. This decision marks a step towards deeper integration of Ripple into the traditional banking infrastructure, without implying a radical transformation of its business model.

Regulatory recognition through the banking charter thus consolidates its status while opening the way to new partnerships with traditional financial players. The focus is no longer on defending its legitimacy but on redefining its role in tomorrow’s banking ecosystem.

Ripple had already renounced going public despite its victory against the SEC. This now confirmed choice paves the way for controlled growth, away from the constraints of public markets. It remains to be seen if this strategy will hold up against investor pressure and the evolving global regulatory framework.

Trump could use Greenland for 10,000 EH/s Bitcoin mining hub from stranded energy if it becomes a part of the US cryptonews
BTC
Talk of the United States buying Greenland has returned to Washington, and miners are tracking the power projects on the island.

The White House said a U.S. purchase of Greenland is an “active discussion,” according to Reuters.

For Bitcoin miners, the more actionable clock is Greenland’s industrial power planning.

How Greenland’s hydropower translates into real Bitcoin mining capacityGreenland’s government said it plans to open a public tender round in the second half of 2026 for the two largest mapped hydropower sites intended for industrial use, Tasersiaq (site 07.e) and Tarsartuup Tasersua (site 06.g), according to Naalakkersuisut.gl.

It said the two sites together could produce more than 9,500 gigawatt-hours annually.

Mining math is straightforward.

Bitmain’s Antminer S21 specification lists 200 TH/s at 3,500 watts, or about 17.5 joules per terahash, according to Bitmain.

Using a planning power usage effectiveness value near 1.1 (cooling and overhead), 1 megawatt of facility power equates to about 0.052 exahash per second (EH/s) at 17.5 J/TH.

That implies about 0.041–0.061 EH/s across a 15–22 J/TH efficiency band.

Facility power (MW)Hashrate ceiling (EH/s) @ 17.5 J/TH, PUE 1.150.26251.30502.601005.19Greenland’s installed base is far smaller than the tendered ambition.

Nukissiorfiit reports about 91.3 megawatts of hydropower capacity across its systems and an average electricity sales price of about DKK 1.81 per kilowatt-hour in 2024, according to its annual report.

Retail-style pricing at that level does not map cleanly onto mining economics.

That is why any large build depends on industrial power purchase agreements or behind-the-meter supply at new generation, rather than buying power like a normal customer.

The lack of a national grid narrows the paths to scale.

Power stations generally serve towns and settlements as local systems, with limited interconnection, according to Trap Greenland.

That pushes early “stranded” or surplus-energy concepts toward colocating flexible load at specific plants.

Greenland reporting has discussed utilizing surplus energy in the context of lowering energy costs, according to Greenland Review.

If 5–25 megawatts can be aggregated behind the meter near existing generation, the ceiling is about 0.21–1.52 EH/s across the 15–22 J/TH band (about 0.26–1.30 EH/s at 17.5 J/TH).

That is enough for pilots, but not enough to move global network share.

The next rung up is Nuuk’s main hydro plant.

Scaling bitcoin mining in Greenland: from surplus power pilots to grid-level expansionBuksefjord is planned to expand from 45 megawatts to 121 megawatts, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and commissioning targeted for 2032, according to NunaGreen.

The European Investment Bank’s project pipeline references a roughly 76-megawatt Buksefjord-3 build near the existing 45-megawatt plant.

If 50–121 megawatts of output were contracted to miners, the electrical ceiling is about 2.07–7.33 EH/s across the 15–22 J/TH band (about 2.6–6.3 EH/s at 17.5 J/TH).

That assumes those megawatts are not absorbed by Nuuk demand growth and electrification plans.

The two-site tender is where Greenland becomes a gigawatt-scale discussion.

More than 9,500 GWh a year equates to about 1.08 gigawatts of average power if fully utilized.

That implies an electricity-limited hashrate ceiling around 44.8–65.7 EH/s across the 15–22 J/TH band (about 56.0 EH/s at 17.5 J/TH).

Tracking sites place Bitcoin hashrate around 1.03–1.17 zetahash per second (ZH/s), and minerstat places difficulty near 148 trillion, according to minerstat.

On that baseline, a fully utilized 1.08 GW mine implies about 4–6% of today’s network hashrate, with the share shrinking if global hashrate expands.

Could Trump-linked capital eye Greenland’s energy surplus for Bitcoin mining expansion?Trump-linked mining capital is already forming, which is why Greenland’s power calendar could draw attention inside the sector.

Hut 8 partnered with Eric Trump to launch American Bitcoin, combining Hut 8’s mining operations with an investor group that includes Donald Trump Jr., while Hut 8 retained an 80% stake.

American Bitcoin said installed hashrate expanded to about 24 EH/s and cited fleet efficiency around 16.4 J/TH as of Sept. 1, 2025, according to the company.

Using the same PUE 1.1 planning value, 24 EH/s implies roughly 430 megawatts of facility power at 16.4 J/TH (about 460 megawatts at 17.5 J/TH).

That means a fully utilized 1.08 GW tender buildout could power an American Bitcoin-sized fleet more than once over, if the offtake were dedicated to mining and if transmission and construction timelines cleared.

Even in a “what if” sovereignty scenario, the constraints stay practical.

Industrial hydro requires multiyear construction, heavy logistics, and long-duration offtake, and mines need resilient data links, spares, and import capacity for ASIC fleets.

Greenland Connect links Canada, Nuuk, Qaqortoq, and Iceland by subsea cable, according to Tusass, but it does not solve transmission to remote hydro basins.

Clean, firm megawatts also face competition from other loads.

The International Energy Agency has warned that AI will drive higher electricity demand from data centers, which can raise the opportunity cost of dedicating long-duration renewable output to mining.

Diplomacy will shape financing conditions around any “Trump Greenland mine” thesis.

European officials have stressed that Greenland’s status rests on consent and sovereignty norms, according to Reuters.

Greenland’s tender round planned for the second half of 2026 will set the baseline for any large-scale Bitcoin mining offtake from new hydropower on the island.

Why Greenland’s energy economics and geopolitics matter for large-scale Bitcoin miningHowever, if Greenland were brought under U.S. jurisdiction and treated as an energy buildout zone rather than a small, fragmented utility market, the renewable ceiling that matters for mining would shift from 1-GW-class hydro tenders to also focus on wind.

According to a systems study published in Energy and indexed on ScienceDirect, Greenland’s onshore wind technical potential is about 333 GW nameplate, producing about 1,487 TWh per year under the assumption that 20% of Greenland’s ice-free area is available.

That equates to about 170 GW of average generation on an energy basis.

Output would be variable and would require transmission, overbuild, curtailment, storage, and firming to serve a 24/7 load at scale.

Translating that energy-only ceiling into hashrate shows how far the “Trump Greenland mine” narrative can be pushed in theory.

At 15–22 J/TH with PUE around 1.1, 170 GW of average generation implies roughly 7.0–10.4 ZH/s of hashing capacity if miners could absorb the average output as a flexible load, well above today’s network.

Current hashrate stands at around 1 ZH/s, so acquiring enough mining machines to facilitate such a build-out makes this mostly a theoretical exercise in potential forward-facing limits.

Also, 10 ZH/s is not a “24/7 firm baseload” unless you add massive transmission, overbuild, curtailment, and storage/firming (or accept downtime/variable operation). It’s a ceiling based on absorbing average wind energy rather than delivering guaranteed power every hour.

Still, a crude linear extrapolation of that same study’s land-availability assumption from 20% to 100% implies about 7,435 TWh per year (about 848 GW average), or roughly 34.8–51.7 ZH/s.

That is a physics-and-maps ceiling rather than a build plan, given siting, permitting, ports, roads, and HVDC requirements.

According to IRENA, the global average installed cost for new onshore wind in 2023 was about $1,154 per kW.

That puts 333 GW at roughly $384 billion in turbines alone before Arctic premiums, transmission, and firming infrastructure.

OneMiners lists an Antminer S21 XP Hyd at 473 TH/s for $6,799. To utilize 333 GW, you'd need roughly 21,141,650 miners, which comes to around $143 billion.

However, that’s just the ASIC purchase cost. It excludes shipping, duties/VAT, spares, racks/PSUs/networking, buildings, cooling/hydro loops, and commissioning, stuff that’s very non-trivial at tens of millions of units.

All in, assuming hardware is available (which it isn't), an investment of around $427 billion would give a miner based in Greenland enough renewable energy-sourced hash power to control the $1.8 trillion Bitcoin network ten times over. Or around $55 billion to equal the current network hashrate (it's not simply 1/10th due to scaling).

These are all “back of an envelope” figures with lots of caveats and assumptions, but the reality is that there's enough unused energy in Greenland to power the Bitcoin network many times over. With Starlink deployment, you could probably build some major AI datacenters, too.

Bit Digital's ETH growth, staking rewards support repeat ‘Outperform' rating, Noble analysts say cryptonews
ETH
Bit Digital Inc (NASDAQ:BTBT) earned a repeat ‘Outperform’ rating and $5.50 price target, according to Noble Capital Markets analysts who highlighted the company’s December Ethereum treasury update and reiterated confidence in its strategic positioning.

The analysts wrote that Bit Digital’s latest disclosure shows continued growth in its Ethereum holdings and staking activity.

As of December 31, the company held about 155,227 ETH, up from roughly 154,399 ETH at the end of November. Included in that total were approximately 15,146 ETH and ETH-equivalents held in an externally managed fund.

During the month, Bit Digital staked an additional 642 ETH, bringing total staked ETH to around 138,263, or about 89% of total holdings at month-end.

The analysts noted that staking operations generated approximately 389.6 ETH in rewards for December, which equates to an annualized yield of roughly 3.5%.

Based on a December 31 closing Ethereum price of $2,967, the estimated the market value of Bit Digital’s ETH holdings is approximately $460.5 million.

Noble pointed to recent movements in Ethereum prices. They wrote that ETH experienced significant volatility late in 2025 but has strengthened since the start of the new year, rising from around $2,985 to about $3,213. They added that the current ETH price is “modestly above Bit Digital’s average ETH acquisition price.”

Noble maintained its bullish stance on the stock, citing Bit Digital’s evolving business model. “The transformation into an Ethereum Treasury with a large ownership stake in WhiteFiber has positioned the Company to capitalize on two new trends, in our view,” they wrote. “BTBT shares currently trade at a 14% discount to its NAV.”

Temple Digital Group launches 24/7 institutional trading built on Canton cryptonews
CC
Temple Digital Group has launched a private, institutional trading platform built on the Canton Network, offering continuous, 24/7 trading of digital assets using a central limit order book and non-custodial market structure.

According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph on Thursday, the platform supports trading in cryptocurrencies and stablecoins and is designed to allow institutions to transact with approved counterparties while maintaining privacy and regulatory oversight, with participants retaining custody of assets rather than relying on a central intermediary.

The system is built around a price-time priority central limit order book with sub-second matching and includes execution monitoring and transaction cost analysis tools intended for institutional trading desks, the company said.

The platform is live and onboarding institutional users, including asset managers, market makers and financial institutions, with support for tokenized equities and commodities planned for 2026.

The Canton Network is a permissioned blockchain created by Digital Asset that allows regulated institutions to transact and settle tokenized assets onchain.

Institutional adoption accelerates on the Canton NetworkThe Canton Network drew increased institutional attention in late 2025, as companies announced new deployments involving tokenized funds, collateral and financing infrastructure.

In December, Franklin Templeton expanded its Benji tokenization platform to Canton, allowing its tokenized US government money market fund to be used as collateral within Canton’s institutional ecosystem. The fund held $828 million in assets at time of writing, according to industry data.

Tokenized US Treasury Funds. Source: RWA.xyzOn Dec. 9, Canton Network's creator, Digital Asset, and a group of major financial institutions completed a second round of onchain US Treasury financing on Canton. The trial showed that tokenized Treasurys can be reused as collateral in real time, highlighting how blockchain-based infrastructure can reduce frictions in traditional collateral and financing markets.

About a week later, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) said it plans to mint a subset of US Treasury securities on the Canton Network, extending blockchain-based settlement into market infrastructure that processed $3.7 quadrillion in transactions in 2024.

On Wednesday, Digital Asset and Kinexys by JPMorgan announced plans to bring JPMorgan’s US dollar deposit token, JPM Coin, natively onto the network.

The Canton Coin (CC) has risen sharply recently. It is up more than 40% over the past two weeks and more than 80% over the past month, according to CoinGecko data at the time of writing.

Dogecoin Price News: DOGE Rises by 14% as Volumes Spike – Memes Are Back? cryptonews
DOGE
DOGE/USD Daily Chart (Coinbase) – Source: TradingView

The rally kept going for 5 consecutive days and pushed DOGE past the $0.14 barrier, which was the key resistance to watch at that point to confirm the beginning of an uptrend.

Now, the token is taking a breather and could possibly retest this price mark from above. This is a healthy pullback, and volumes are already reacting to the move, spiking above an already-augmented 14-day moving average.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also sent a buy signal upon climbing above the 14-day moving average. The oscillator currently sits at 54 after peaking briefly at 65. All of this reflects that positive momentum has accelerated.

Key Levels to Watch for the Next Few Days Buyers seem to be in control of the price action at the time. As long as interest remains strong, they need to keep breaking DOGE’s sell walls to further squeeze bears out of their short positions.

The next relevant target of the top meme coin would be $0.18 – the level at which the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) lies.

Getting to that target would mean a 27% upside potential from where DOGE is trading right now. Meanwhile, if the rally keeps going, then the token could move to much higher levels, possibly to $0.28.

Volumes need to accompany the move to confirm it. Ideally, DOGE’s weekly volume should continue to be above $10 billion to confirm that buying interest is accelerating. Retail FOMO is a critical factor that tends to push meme coins higher.

Hence, increased retail buying, social media mentions, and short squeezes would be the signal that DOGE’s rally is rapidly gaining traction.

Upexi Moves Toward a Yield-Focused Strategy as Solana Treasury Grows cryptonews
SOL
TL;DR

Upexi will implement a risk-adjusted high-yield strategy for its Solana treasury in 2026, aiming to increase returns. The company holds 2,174,583 SOL, 3.2% more than in October 2025, and repurchased 416,226 shares at $1.92. The price of SOL fell nearly 33% over 12 months, reducing the value of Upexi’s treasury from $406 million to $294.9 million. Upexi announced the implementation of a risk-adjusted high-yield strategy for its Solana treasury in 2026. The company stated that the initiative aims to increase returns in a controlled manner without affecting existing treasury operations. The strategy will be based on asset management alongside the company’s consumer brands.

As of today, Upexi holds 2,174,583 SOL, an increase of 3.2% from the 2,106,989 SOL reported at the end of October 2025. The company also reported the repurchase of 416,226 shares at an average price of $1.92. In addition, CEO Allan Marshall personally acquired 200,000 shares in December 2025. These actions were taken amid the price decline and aim to strengthen the company’s position in both the capital markets and the Solana market.

The price of SOL dropped nearly 33% over the past 12 months, reaching approximately $135.50. The decline affected the value of Upexi’s holdings, which fell from $406 million in October to $294.9 million in January. The company maintains a debt-to-capital ratio of 0.58 and a current ratio of 3.41.

Upexi’s Holdings Lost Over $100 Million Due to the Solana Drop The strategy framework includes token staking, intelligent capital issuance, and purchases of discounted locked tokens. The company stated that the new policy will not cause disruptions to treasury operations and will allow greater flexibility to execute transactions in a disciplined manner. Additional details about the implementation will be released in the coming weeks.

Why Bitcoin's Current Limbo Could Be a Constructive Signal cryptonews
BTC
TLDR

Analysts suggest Bitcoin has entered a stabilization phase that breaks away from traditional boom-and-bust cycles. Institutional ownership and supply control by large corporations drastically reduce the risk of massive liquidations. Global M2 money supply growth is laying the groundwork for a long-term bullish impulse following this sideways period. An unusual phenomenon has been observed in the cryptocurrency market over the last few hours. The violent corrections seen in previous cycles have given way to a potential Bitcoin consolidation in 2026, which is emerging as a period of market maturity.

On-chain analysts indicate that the current price stagnation does not signify a loss of confidence; rather, it represents a diversification of liquidity channels and a structural shift in investor behavior.

Capital inflows into Bitcoin have dried up.

Liquidity channels are more diverse now, so timing inflows is pointless. Institutions holding long-term killed the old whale-retail sell cycle. MSTR won't dump any significant chunk of their 673k BTC.

— Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) January 8, 2026 Unlike in the past, large institutional holders now control a significant portion of the circulating supply. These actors serve as “strong hands” that do not react with panic to short-term volatility, weakening the classic narrative of massive sell-offs.

In this context, Bitcoin consolidation in 2026 is interpreted as a constructive sideways movement while capital temporarily rotates toward other assets, such as precious metals.

Global Liquidity and the Future of Bitcoin Consolidation in 2026 Even though the immediate capital flow seems to have slowed down, macroeconomic indicators tell a different story. The global money supply (M2) is expanding at its fastest pace since late 2022. 

Generally, the asset tends to react to this increase in liquidity with a slight lag. Therefore, the Bitcoin consolidation in 2026 could be the precursor phase to a new monetary expansion.

Experts like Merlijn The Trader view Bitcoin as a late-cycle asset that reacts to general liquidity conditions. With inflation beginning to cool and monetary policies tending to soften, the market appears to be in an active waiting phase. 

For traders expecting a 50% collapse, the data suggests the current structure is much more resilient. Although the outlook may seem “boring” to speculators, the underlying conditions of Bitcoin consolidation in 2026 are quietly preparing the ground for a potential next major upward move.

Why Whales Are Buying FLOKI, PEPE, SHIB cryptonews
FLOKI PEPE SHIB
Whale transactions worth over $100,000 in FLOKI (CRYPTO: FLOKI), PEPE (CRYPTO: PEPE), and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) exploded by 950%, 620%, and 111% respectively this week, as meme coins added $14 billion in market cap in 2026.

Meme Coins Dominate Whale Activity RankingsMarket intelligence firm Santiment tracked a surge in transactions worth $100,000 or more—the type of size that indicates institutional or wealthy individual investors rather than retail traders.

Meme coins dominated this activity, taking four of the top ten spots among all crypto projects with at least $500 million market caps.

FLOKI on Ethereum led with a 950% surge, followed by PEPE at 620% and FLOKI on BNB at 550%.

Additionally, Shiba Inu rounded out the meme coin presence at 111%, beating out AI tokens, real-world asset platforms, and established DeFi protocols for whale attention. 

The pattern suggests large holders are rotating capital away from Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), into higher-volatility meme coins.

Meme Coin Performance Reverses 2025 LossesFLOKI surged 41.7% over the past week while PEPE emerged as the strongest performer with a 67% weekly rally, breaking out from descending wedge patterns.

Shiba Inu climbed 28.7% over seven days, up nearly 48% from its late December lows. 

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) reclaimed the $0.15 level with a 30-33% rebound from December, and benefiting from renewed institutional interest through ETF inflows.

Collectively, these four meme coins posted 25-67% gains in the first week of 2026, reversing months of losses that saw the sector collapse 61% throughout 2025.

Meme Coin Market Cap Surges 37% In Eight DaysMeme coins added $14 billion in market cap since January 1, rising from $38 billion to $52 billion—a 36.8% surge in just eight days. 

The rally significantly outperformed the broader altcoin market.

Darkfost on CryptoQuant noted that memecoin dominance within the altcoin market hit a historical low in December 2025. 

In November 2024, meme coins accounted for 11% of total altcoin market cap. By December 2025, that ratio fell to 3.2%. The last time memecoin dominance reached such low levels, it preceded a massive memecoin season. 

Over the past few days, major meme coins posted strong gains, potentially marking the beginning of a memecoin comeback.

Dogecoin rebounds with strength as meme-coin appetite returns in early 2026 cryptonews
DOGE
TL;DR

Dogecoin shows constructive technical setup after 2025 sell-side liquidity sweep. Key support at $0.14 and resistance target zone near $0.188–$0.194. A sustained breakout requires volume confirmation to avoid false reversals. Dogecoin (DOGE) rises alongside broader meme coins in Q1 2026. A fresh technical read from Bitguru points to a constructive setup: the pair completed a sell-side liquidity sweep in November–December 2025, flushed weak hands, and built an accumulation base. Early 2026 shows lower volatility and tighter ranges, conditions that often precede continuation while price holds key levels.

The chart also records a rounded cup pattern and a mid-2025 continuation phase that lifted price stair-steps ahead of a market-wide pullback. Now DOGE trades back above a reclaimed support near $0.14, a signal of prior supply absorption and more orderly consolidation. From that base, risk-reward improves for participants seeking upside extension.

$DOGE is showing a clean structure after a liquidity sweep and long consolidation, which often signals a trend reset. $DOGE reclaim of support suggests accumulation is complete, and as long as price holds this base upside continuation toward higher supply zones remains likely pic.twitter.com/Ry9oyxBeEJ

— BitGuru 🔶 (@bitgu_ru) January 7, 2026

A target zone sits at $0.188–$0.194, aligned with former ceilings that capped advances during the decline. While buyers defend $0.14–$0.148, odds favor an upward sweep toward areas of higher supply. A decisive loss of $0.148 triggers invalidation and invites a slide toward local lows inside the risk band highlighted by the analyst.

Near term, volume must confirm break attempts Without sponsorship, upper wicks proliferate and price reverts to range behavior. Quality signals include daily closes above intraday highs with buy-side delta in control, shallow pullbacks after expansion, and next-session follow-through. Lacking those elements, entries work better on clean pullbacks into support with defined stops.

At press time, DOGE trades near $0.143, up over 18% on the week, per market dashboards. Intraday action shows a -5% print over 24 hours, a common outcome after expansion candles. Weekly volume fell more than 30%, a cautionary datapoint: structure improves, yet flow has not fully validated a sustained breakout. Discretionary desks often seek confirmation on 4H and daily frames before chasing highs.

The $0.14 shelf already serves an operational role: it concentrates bids, shortens stop distance, and clarifies risk management. Overhead, $0.188–$0.194 pools resting liquidity and late shorts, so reactions inside that band will gauge trend strength. The constructive skew persists while closing prices respect $0.148 and pullbacks display selling attenuation.

One connotative line captures the tone: DOGE now moves on conviction rather than inertia. In practice, the tape rewards discipline—confirm volume, buy pullbacks to support, trim into resistance, and recycle only after fresh confirmation. 

With meme coins drawing renewed attention yet still sensitive to liquidity shifts, the plan remains simple: protect capital below $0.148, press winners toward $0.188–$0.194, and let price action judge extension.

South Korea Rules Bitcoin Held on Exchanges Is Subject to Criminal Seizure cryptonews
BTC
TL;DR

South Korea’s Supreme Court ruled Bitcoin held on exchanges can be seized in criminal investigations, rejecting a claim that only physical objects qualify. The court said seizure targets include tangible objects and electronic information, describing Bitcoin as a tradable electronic token with economic value. The decision follows earlier recognition of Bitcoin as intangible property and arrives amid crypto-crime enforcement, as the UK recognized digital assets as property. South Korea’s Supreme Court has clarified that investigators may seize Bitcoin held on cryptocurrency exchanges during criminal probes, closing a dispute over whether digital assets qualify as confiscable property. The decision stems from a money laundering case involving an account holder identified only as Mr. A, whose exchange balance of 55.6 Bitcoin, valued at about 600 million won or $413,000 at the time, was taken by police. The ruling signals exchange custody does not shield crypto from seizure. Mr. A challenged it, saying the law covers only physical items and cannot reach data-only tokens there.

Supreme Court Defines Exchange-Held Bitcoin as Seizable Property The fight turned on Article 106 of South Korea’s Criminal Procedure Act, which Mr. A said allows seizure only of “physical objects” for evidence or confiscation. A Seoul court rejected that reading and dismissed his complaint, prompting an appeal that reached the Supreme Court in December 2025. Top judges sided with prosecutors and wrote that seizure targets include both tangible objects and electronic information. They described Bitcoin as an electronic token that can be managed, traded, and controlled for economic value, so it meets the legal standard for assets investigators may take. Decision upheld it.

In explaining the outcome, the court said the “disposition” that seized Bitcoin managed by a virtual asset exchange under Mr. A’s name was lawful, and found no error in the lower court’s refusal to reconsider. The ruling also fits a longer judicial trend. In 2018, the Supreme Court recognized Bitcoin as intangible property with real economic value and said it can be seized when obtained illegally. Courts that year treated crypto as divisible in divorce cases, and by 2021 judges were clearly treating Bitcoin as virtual property under criminal law. Extending that logic to exchanges.

The decision lands as South Korean authorities intensify enforcement against crypto-related crimes, with high-profile fraud and money laundering cases drawing attention. One example cited in reporting involved a crypto exchange operator sentenced to four years in prison for attempting to sell military secrets to North Korea in exchange for Bitcoin. South Korea is not alone in tightening legal definitions. Last month, the UK passed legislation recognizing digital assets as property, giving them the same legal status as houses and cars, following Law Commission recommendations. Together, courts are translating “crypto” into enforceable property rights in practice.

CryptoQuant CEO: Bitcoin Enters ‘Boring' Sideways Phase as Inflows Stall cryptonews
BTC
Ki Young Ju’s view challenges both crash narratives and quick-bull expectations, pointing instead to a prolonged period of low excitement.

Bitcoin (BTC) inflows have dried up, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, who said that the market is likely heading into several months of flat, uneventful price movement rather than a dramatic sell-off.

His comments matter because they challenge both crash fears and near-term bull expectations at a time when Bitcoin is trading just below key recovery levels after a volatile end to 2025.

Capital Rotation Replaces the Old Bitcoin Cycle Writing on X, Ki noted that fresh capital is no longer flowing into Bitcoin in a meaningful way. Instead, money has rotated into equities and commodities, which he referred to as “stocks and shiny rocks.” He argued that this shift, combined with structural changes in the market, makes timing inflows far less useful than in earlier cycles.

According to Ki, the traditional pattern where large holders sold into retail demand has weakened. Long-term institutional ownership has changed supply behavior, and he dismissed fears that major corporate holders will suddenly flood the market with coins. He pointed to Strategy’s 673,000 BTC stash, saying the firm is unlikely to sell a meaningful portion.

As a result, Ki said a deep drawdown similar to prior bear markets looks unlikely. Instead of a violent drop from the all-time high, he expects what he described as “boring sideways” price action for the next few months. He added a blunt warning to traders betting on a sudden collapse:

“Shorting here hoping for a nuke? Good luck with that.”

Not everyone agreed. A reply from X user Inner Edition captured frustration among smaller investors, saying they were “extremely disappointed” and questioning whether a bull market would even arrive. Ki responded by urging patience, comparing Bitcoin to something that improves with time rather than quick speculation.

On-chain Data Backs a Slow, Grinding Phase A recent report by analyst CryptoZeno gives context to Ki’s outlook. According to them, Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss is sitting near the 0.3 level, a zone that has often acted as a holding range between recovery and renewed risk-taking. The reading suggests average holders are back in modest profit, but nowhere near the excess seen late in past cycles.

You may also like: CNBC Crowns XRP Hottest Crypto Trade of 2026 Over BTC and ETH: Here’s Why Bitcoin’s 2026 Rally Has Legs – But Only If These Risks Fade Why Bitcoin’s Recent Recovery Is Being Called ‘Structurally Healthy’ Glassnode also echoed that view in its Week On-Chain report released January 7, which described the flagship cryptocurrency entering 2026 with a “cleaner market structure” after a major reset. Profit-taking has cooled, derivatives positioning has been cleared, and spot ETF flows in the U.S. have started to turn positive again, though still uneven.

However, other market watchers remain split. For example, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes that BTC’s 2026 recovery can continue if regulatory uncertainty in Washington eases and equity markets avoid a steep drop. Meanwhile, more cautious voices, such as the pseudonymous Doctor Profit, still see risks of lower prices later this year, despite a limited downside in the short term.

Shiba Inu Whales Quietly Accumulate Billions Off Exchanges—Is a Massive 300% Rocket Coming? cryptonews
SHIB
Shiba Inu (SHIB) continued to trade indecisively on Wednesday despite a major upswing last week.

Notably, on Sunday, Shiba Inu’s price jumped just over 13% as the 2026 meme coin frenzy continued to shift between top assets. 

However, since Tuesday, SHIB has dropped about 4%, as buyers and sellers battle around the $0.000007–$0.000014 range. Despite this indecision, a trend mirrored across major crypto assets, analysts remain bullish on the meme coin’s near-term potential.

According to popular analyst Javon Marks, SHIB could surge significantly in the coming months. In a follow-up tweet earlier this week, Marks noted that SHIB could surge almost 300% based on a major bullish divergence and price breakout.

“Price breakout has followed the bullish divergences in $SHIB! An over 246% run to the $0.000032 divergence targeted area can be getting initiated here with the price breakout and additional bull divergence.” He wrote.

Just last month, the analyst pointed to a major upside for SHIB, highlighting that this pattern suggested the potential for prices to recover more than 234%, targeting levels around $0.000032.

The bullish sentiment is supported by on-chain data pointing to significant SHIB accumulation. Notably, over the last five months of 2025, roughly 35.6 million SHIB were withdrawn from Binance, indicating a sustained trend of coins leaving exchanges. Much of this accumulation occurred while the price rested on a long-term support zone, historically associated with absorbing demand. October saw the peak of this activity, with more than 20 million SHIB exiting exchanges as smart money quietly accumulated. According to Crypto Onchain, these persistent withdrawals have reduced available spot liquidity and eased structural selling pressure, suggesting the market is in a neutral-to-bullish accumulation phase rather than a distribution stage.

“Upside confirmation now depends on renewed volume and demand inflows.” He tweeted on Tuesday. 

Adding to the optimism, crypto analyst Claybro emphasized Wednesday that Shiba Inu has become a focus for institutional and whale accumulation.

 “Shiba Inu is performing well based on aggressive accumulation from top whales rather than a surge in retail demand. Whales understand the transition from fear into potential greed and are accumulating as much as they can.” He noted.

Further, he stated that SHIB’s current market behavior positions it alongside XRP and Solana as favored assets for concentrated capital flows. He stated in his YouTube analysis.

At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00000863, down 1.83% in the past 24 hours.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Big Short' Star Danny Moses Predicts Gold Monster Rally — Prices 'Will Double From Here' stocknewsapi
AAAU BAR DBP DGL GLD GLDM IAU OUNZ SGOL UGL
Gold has spent years being treated as insurance — useful, but rarely exciting. Danny Moses, best known as one of the traders featured in The Big Short, thinks that framing is already outdated. In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, Moses made a blunt call that cuts against market comfort: "Gold prices will double from here over the next few years."

Track gold price via GLD ETF here. For Moses, this isn't a future pivot — it's a trend already in motion.

"I think that already happened in 2025," he said, pointing to gold and silver outperforming most asset classes. In his view, precious metals have quietly shifted from hedge status to leadership assets, helped by macro forces that are no longer temporary.

Why Gold's Bid Looks Different This TimeMoses draws a clear distinction between silver and gold. Silver's rally, he said, is being driven by hard math: "The current demand for silver far outweighs the supply and there is no quick fix," with solar, EVs, and AI data centers pulling metal into industrial use.

Gold's story is less about scarcity and more about trust. "Global central banks have been the biggest purchaser of physical gold as a hedge against their own incompetencies," Moses said — a buying trend he doesn't see slowing in 2026. On top of that, investor demand through ETFs continues to grow, creating what he calls ongoing "market dislocations."

Volatility First, Payoff LaterMoses isn't selling a straight-line rally. "Of course, you could see a pullback, and we will no doubt have continued volatility," he cautioned. But the long-term setup, in his view, remains intact as gold works its way into more portfolios — whether through ETFs, mining stocks, or direct exposure.

Calling for gold to double sounds extreme — until it doesn't.

Moses made his reputation by recognizing stress before markets were forced to price it in. This time, he's watching currencies, central banks, and confidence — and betting that gold's role is about to expand again, in a very big way.

Lilly's Zepbound plus Taltz boosts arthritis relief, weight loss in late-stage trial stocknewsapi

Jan 8 (Reuters) - Eli Lilly (LLY.N), opens new tab said on Thursday a late-stage trial showed its weight-loss drug Zepbound, used with its psoriatic arthritis treatment Taltz, improved arthritis symptoms and drove weight loss better than Taltz alone.

Lilly said 31.7% of patients who received Taltz plus Zepbound met the main goal of the study: at least a 50% reduction in psoriatic arthritis disease activity and at least 10% weight loss after 36 weeks. That compared with 0.8% of patients who took Taltz alone and met the same combined outcome.

Sign up here.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease linked to psoriasis. It can cause joint pain and stiffness, along with nail and skin issues.

In a separate measure, Lilly said 33.5% of patients on Taltz plus Zepbound achieved the benchmark of at least a 50% reduction in disease activity compared with 20.4% on Taltz alone.

The study enrolled 271 overweight or obese adults with active psoriatic arthritis and at least one additional weight-related condition.

Lilly said about 65% of U.S. adults with psoriatic arthritis also have obesity or are overweight and have at least one additional weight-related comorbidity.

"These results demonstrate how an integrated treatment approach has the potential to improve the standard of care in a compelling and comprehensive way," said Mark Genovese, senior vice president of Lilly Immunology Development.

The most common side effects associated with the combination included nausea, diarrhea and constipation occurring in at least 5% of participants, Lilly said.

Brazil's oil regulator puts Petrobras drilling at Foz do Amazonas on hold stocknewsapi

CompaniesRIO DE JANEIRO, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian oil regulator ANP has told Petrobras (PETR3.SA), opens new tab that it cannot resume offshore drilling in the Foz do Amazonas basin until it provides information on a leak of synthetic fluid in the environmentally sensitive region, the agency said on Thursday.

The ANP decision was recorded in documents signed on Wednesday and seen earlier by Reuters.

Sign up here.

ANP said in a statement to Reuters that Petrobras must report the causes of the leak and mitigation measures. Foz do Amazonas is the large delta where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of northern Brazil.

Petrobras did not immediately reply to a request for comment but has previously said it had contained the leak and that the fluid is biodegradable, posing no harm to the environment or to people.

Petrobras spent years trying to obtain a license to drill in the region, considered to be its most promising oil frontier because it shares geology with nearby Guyana where ExxonMobil (XOM.N), opens new tab is developing huge fields.

The leak has led to an outcry by activists and local Indigenous organizations, who have for years warned of the impact oil exploration could have on the region's marine and coastal ecosystems.

During a Wednesday meeting with ANP officials, Petrobras said it did not know what caused the accident, the documents seen by Reuters showed.

The documents also showed the leak was larger than initially reported - 18 cubic meters (23.54 cubic yards), instead of 15.

The oil regulator plans to inspect the drilling rig in February, a source close to the matter told Reuters, adding that drilling could resume before then. The regulator declined to comment on plans to inspect the site.

The drilling started in October and was expected to last around five months. The well is the first of seven that Petrobras plans to drill in the region.

Google's $32 Billion Wiz Acquisition Faces EU Decision stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
A regulatory decision on Google’s largest ever acquisition could be weeks away.

European competition regulators will decide by Feb. 10 whether to allow the company’s $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity provider Wiz, according to a filing on the European Commission (EC) website.

Google announced the deal in March, calling it an investment by its Cloud unit to “accelerate two large and growing trends in the AI era: improved cloud security and the ability to use multiple clouds.”

The EC’s filing was flagged in a report by Reuters Thursday (Jan. 8), which notes that tech deals in Europe have in recent years undergone strict scrutiny from regulators, who are worried that the world’s tech giants may use them to further increase their market power.

The commission, which enforces antitrust regulations for the European Union, can either approve the deal with or without seeking concessions from Google, or can launch a full-scale probe if it finds serious concerns. The U.S. Department of Justice gave its blessing to the merger in November.

Google had looked into acquiring Wiz in 2024, with the smaller company ultimately rejecting the tech giant’s $23 billion offer.

Google’s pursuit of Wiz “serves as an exclamation point on how the landscape of cloud security is continually evolving,” with several key trends guiding its future, as PYMNTS wrote last year.

“One of the biggest strides being made is the embrace of AI and machine learning (ML) as integral to cybersecurity strategies, enabling real-time analysis and swift identification of anomalies,” that report said. “These technologies enhance the ability to pre-emptively detect and respond to threats, thereby reducing potential damages.”

The acquisition comes at a time when cybersecurity is paramount, PYMNTS wrote at the time, though that statement holds true nearly a year later.

Days earlier, a supply chain attack had compromised open-source software used by more than 23,000 organizations with credential-stealing code.

“In response to the evolving threat landscape, organizations are increasingly investing in advanced security solutions to safeguard their operations and data,” the report said.

The threats of 2024 snowballed during 2025, as covered here last month, with cyberattacks going from “episodic crises” to “a persistent condition of doing business.”

The situation, PYMNTS added, got to the point that one of the world’s largest cyber insurance firms, Beazley, announced it was scaling back its U.S. cyber business.

ARDT BREAKING CLASS ACTION NEWS: BFA Law has Sued Ardent Health, Inc. for Securities Fraud after Collectability Issues lead to 33% Stock Drop -- Investors Notified to Contact the Firm stocknewsapi
ARDT
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit against Ardent Health, Inc. (NYSE:ARDT) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit against Ardent Health, Inc. (NYSE:ARDT) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop.

Investors have until March 9, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Ardent Health securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. It is captioned Postiwala v. Ardent Health, Inc., et al., No. 3:26-cv-00022.

Why is Ardent Health Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Ardent Health and its affiliates operate acute care hospitals and other healthcare facilities. A critical aspect of Ardent Health’s operations is the collection of accounts receivable and the framework by which Ardent Health determines the collectability of such accounts. According to the lawsuit, Ardent Health stated that it employed an active monitoring process to determine the collectability of its accounts receivable, and that this process included “detailed reviews of historical collections” as a “primary source of information.”

As alleged, in truth, Ardent Health did not primarily rely on “detailed reviews of historical collections” in determining collectability of accounts receivable, but instead “utilized a 180-day cliff at which time an account became fully reserved.” This allowed Ardent Health to report higher amounts of accounts receivable during the Class Period, and delay recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. The lawsuit alleges that Ardent Health’s purported misrepresentations are a violation of the federal securities laws.

Why did Ardent Health’s Stock Drop?

On November 12, 2025, after market hours, Ardent Health revealed it had completed “hindsight evaluations of historical collection trends” that resulted in a $43 million decrease in revenue for the quarter. Ardent Health also revealed that it increased its professional liability reserves by $54 million because of “adverse prior period claim developments” resulting from a set of claims between 2019 and 2022 “as well as consideration of broader industry trends.”

This news caused the price of Ardent Health stock to drop $4.75 per share, or more than 33%, from a closing price of $14.05 per share on November 12, 2025, to $9.30 per share on November 13, 2025.

Fidelity Let's You Go Full YOLO On Ethereum, but Should You? stocknewsapi
ETHA FETH
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Crypto speculation has moved from exchanges to brokerage accounts. Spot Ethereum ETFs let investors bet on the second-largest cryptocurrency without managing wallets or private keys. But easy access doesn’t mean you should add Ethereum exposure.

What FETH Actually Does Fidelity Ethereum Fund (NYSE:FETH) holds actual Ether tokens and tracks their price. When Ethereum rises or falls, so does your investment. No leverage, no options overlay, no income generation. The fund charges 0.25% annually to warehouse crypto in your brokerage account. It launched in July 2024 with $2.2 billion in assets.

This infographic details how the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) operates, its best use case as high-risk speculation, and a balanced overview of its pros and cons for potential investors. The return engine is pure price speculation. Ethereum’s value depends on network activity, developer adoption, and market sentiment around smart contracts and decentralized applications. Unlike dividend stocks or bonds, there’s no cash flow, no earnings, no fundamental anchor. You’re betting someone will pay more for ETH tomorrow than you paid today.

The Performance Reality FETH has delivered a 16% loss since inception. Investors who bought at launch are underwater after five months. The fund tracks Ethereum nearly perfectly, capturing every stomach-churning swing. In the past 60 days alone, Ethereum experienced four separate days with 8% to 10% intraday price swings.

The S&P 500 gained 16% over the same period FETH lost 16%, a 32-percentage-point gap. Even within crypto, Bitcoin ETFs have outperformed, with iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) down just 12% versus FETH’s 16% decline.

The Tradeoffs You’re Accepting Volatility is the primary cost. Five percent daily swings are normal for Ethereum. Major selloffs correlate with volume spikes, meaning panic selling drives the worst declines. You’re exposed to regulatory uncertainty, network technical risks, and competitor blockchains that could erode Ethereum’s market position.

You’re also paying 0.25% annually for something tech-savvy investors can buy directly on exchanges for lower fees. The convenience of holding crypto in a brokerage account costs you basis points every year, with no tax advantages unless held in a Roth IRA.

Who Should Avoid This Retirees seeking income or capital preservation should stay away. FETH pays no dividends and offers no downside protection. Investors with short time horizons face sequence-of-returns risk. If you need to sell during a crypto winter, you’ll lock in losses with no recovery mechanism.

The Bigger Alternative iShares Ethereum Trust (NASDAQ:ETHA) offers identical Ethereum exposure at the same 0.25% expense ratio but with five times the assets at $11.1 billion. That scale advantage translates to deeper liquidity and tighter bid-ask spreads. ETHA’s seven times higher trading volume makes it safer for selling substantial positions without slippage.

For investors determined to hold Ethereum in a portfolio, ETHA’s institutional scale provides better execution on both entry and exit. The tracking accuracy is identical, but the trading infrastructure is more robust.

FETH offers convenient Ethereum exposure for speculation, but you’re accepting casino-level volatility with no income and significant underperformance versus both stocks and Bitcoin.

Why Constellation Brands Stock Was Moving Higher Today stocknewsapi
STZ
The beer stock managed to beat estimates in its earnings report.

Shares of Constellation Brands (STZ +4.61%) were gaining today after the domestic seller of Corona and Modelo beat estimates in its third-quarter earnings report.

As of 1:57 p.m. ET, the stock was up 4.7% on the news.

Image source: Getty Images.

Constellation tops a low bar Constellation Brands has faced a number of headwinds recently, including weak discretionary spending, younger generations turning away from alcohol, and a slowdown among Hispanic customers.

Revenue fell 10% to $2.22 billion, but that was mostly due to the sale of a number of wine brands last year. Organic sales were down just 2%, and revenue topped estimates at $2.16 billion.

Beer sales, which make up the vast majority of the business, were down 1%, and the company said it continued to gain market share in the category.

On the bottom line, adjusted earnings per share declined 6% to $3.06, but that also beat estimates at $2.63.

CEO Bill Newlands said, "The operating environment during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 remained challenged, which was in line with our expectations and relatively consistent with the prior quarter."

What's next for Constellation Brands Constellation Brands reaffirmed its full-year guidance, calling for organic net sales to fall 4%-6% and adjusted earnings per share of $11.30-$11.60, down from $13.78.

Despite the stock's gains today, there's not much to be excited about here for long-term investors. If you squint and imagine a world where the macro environment improves and Constellation returns to growth, there's an argument that the stock is a value play, but that's a big "if" at this point.

SPS Commerce Announces New Product Innovations Enabling Retailers and Brands to Meet the Needs of Evolving Supply Chains stocknewsapi
SPSC
New products and capabilities to address four of the biggest forces shaping the future of supply chain collaboration

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPSC), a leader in retail supply chain cloud services, today announced new products and capabilities to address four key trends reshaping how goods move from creation to consumption. These trends are based on insights from its team of supply chain experts and intelligence from its network, which enables over 750 million transactions annually.

“The landscape is shifting, and it can feel impossible to keep up,” said Mike Svatek, chief product officer at SPS Commerce. “As a global company with access to wholesale and point-of-sale data and market signals from both retailers and suppliers, we are in a unique position to identify the trends that are shaping and re-shaping the supply chain. With that information in hand, we design solutions that help our partners rapidly navigate these changes.”

Trend 1: AI-Powered Supply Chain Orchestration

Businesses across global commerce are looking to AI as a tool that fuels the operating system of their supply chains. AI is now orchestrating inventory, forecasting demand, and coordinating vendors at machine speed to reduce errors and delays.

Shared data is at the heart of AI-enabled supply chain automation. SPS Commerce, which operates the largest retail supply chain network in the industry, will be delivering new AI-enabled capabilities for Fulfillment in early 2026 so that suppliers can elevate performance, surface insights and connect with an agentic supply chain ecosystem.

SPS Commerce has joined the Commerce Operations Foundation as a Founding Member to support the launch of the Order Network eXchange (onX). This open industry standard brings a consistent way for orders, inventory, and fulfillment data to move across commerce, logistics, and emerging AI systems. onX solves the long-standing gap between selling channels and the world of fulfillment by creating a shared operational language that any system can plug into. It is built to let orders capture, ship, and reconcile in real time across ERPs, WMS and OMS platforms, 3PLs, and next-generation agentic commerce tools.

By aligning with the standards advanced through onX, SPS Commerce is helping shape a future where commerce operations run with more accuracy, transparency, and scale across the entire ecosystem.

Trend 2: Omnichannel Precision At-Scale

Consumers now expect every channel to deliver at the same speed and accuracy they grew to depend on in recent years. Retailers are fulfilling orders through stores, distribution centers, ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, and drop-ship partners all at once. This creates new pressure on trading partners, who must keep information precise and up to date across a growing number of systems and order types.

To support this shift, SPS Commerce is introducing new capabilities that strengthen the data and integration infrastructure to help trading partners remain in sync, even as omnichannel expectations continue to rise.

PDF Order Automation – Many businesses still receive purchase orders through email. PDF Order Automation converts PDF orders into ERP-ready digital transactions, enabling trading partners to respond to orders faster and maintain accuracy as omnichannel volume increases.

System Automation for SAP S/4HANA – Suppliers using SAP need a streamlined way to integrate with the expanding number of retail systems they work with. This capability connects SAP S/4HANA Private and Public Cloud editions directly to the SPS network, simplifying integrations and supporting real-time visibility across every connected channel.

System Automation for Shopify – Shopify sellers expanding into retail often struggle to manage multiple ordering systems. This capability centralizes all orders, inventory, and shipping updates in one place and provides retailers with a consistent, accurate view of order status as sellers expand into more complex omnichannel operations.

Trend 3: The Great Rewiring of Trade

Companies across retail and manufacturing are shifting away from single-source supply networks toward more regional and diversified models. This transition introduces new partners, new geographies, and new layers of complexity. As production footprints shift, both retailers and suppliers must stay aligned with partners they have never worked with before and maintain visibility into performance across more tiers of the supply chain.

SPS Commerce Relationship Center – enables companies to bring on new partners and expand into new regions. It streamlines onboarding, reduces time to revenue, and keeps both sides aligned during transitions, so disruptions are minimized. SPS Relationship Center gives retailers and suppliers a shared space to exchange item data, compliance requirements, and operational information

Every step of the supply chain is under scrutiny, meaning Manufacturers are also rewiring their own supply networks as they add new raw material providers, component suppliers, and production partners. The SPS Commerce Manufacturing Suite helps manufacturers improve the performance of their upstream supplier networks. By improving visibility into quality, timeliness, and production reliability, the solution supports more resilient manufacturing operations as companies diversify their supply bases.

Trend 4: The Adaptive Commerce Era

Retailers and suppliers are operating in a market where demand patterns shift frequently and often without warning. Promotions, regional preferences, supply constraints, and emerging consumer trends can all create sudden changes in what moves, where it sells, and how quickly inventory needs to be replenished. Traditional planning cycles are no longer enough to keep supply and demand aligned.

Companies are moving toward a more adaptive operating model that relies on ongoing adjustments, shared visibility, and faster recognition of performance changes across the network. This approach helps retailers and suppliers respond more effectively to short term swings while still maintaining financial and operational discipline.

Performance Dashboard, as a new capability within SPS’s Supply Chain Performance Suite, gives retailers and suppliers a shared view of the operational indicators that matter most during periods of shifting demand. It highlights fill rates, on-time performance, compliance status, and inventory patterns so trading partners can proactively identify issues and adjust before they affect shelf availability. As promotions, shifting regional preferences, and supply disruptions add risk for volatility, the Performance Dashboard helps trading partners stay aligned on what is selling and where support is needed.

Revenue Recovery - Demand swings often introduce errors that go unnoticed as order volumes rise, and fulfillment paths change. Revenue Recovery identifies where financial breakdowns occur, including shortages, overages, pricing discrepancies, and late adjustments. By isolating the root causes and providing clear visibility into where revenue is being lost, the solution helps suppliers protect revenue and their relationships even when demand patterns are shifting quickly.

Billable Overages - helps suppliers protect revenue when rapid changes in demand result in mismatches between what was ordered, shipped, or invoiced. This capability uses automated checks to identify overages that should be billed back to retailers and provides the information needed to address issues quickly. This ensures that suppliers stay whole during volatile demand cycles and that financial records remain consistent across both sides of the partnership.

Svatek continued: “AI orchestration is the key enabler that propels brands, retailers, 3PLs, carriers, and all supply chain participants to harness and maximize these trends. Regional supply chains will cut lead times, clean data flows will enable rapid AI-driven decisions, and stores will become micro-fulfillment centers near customers. Together, businesses will be able to meet instant commerce expectations.”

Micron's Pricing Power Looks Unstoppable As AI Demand Outruns Supply stocknewsapi
MU
Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is riding an AI-fueled memory squeeze, with JP Morgan saying demand for DRAM, especially HBM, should continue to outstrip supply past 2026, keeping pricing firm and reinforcing its bullish stance on the stock.

JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur said his team hosted an investor group meeting with Micron’s CFO Mark Murphy, CBO Sumit Sadana, and Senior Director of Investor Relations Samir Patodia.

Sur reiterated an Overweight rating on Micron with a price forecast of $350.

The analysts said management struck a bullish tone on demand for both DRAM and NAND, citing customers “upsiding” memory and storage needs.

He said recent Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and eXtreme Processing Unit (XPU) trends support that view, pointing to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) indicating additions to the $500 billion+ Rubin and Blackwell backlog through year-end calendar 2026, and to Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) volumes for Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) continuing to move higher, alongside JP Morgan’s increased CoWoS capacity forecasts tied in part to expectations of higher TPU volumes.

Sur added that Micron remains constrained in its ability to grow supply and meet incremental customer demand because it lacks available clean-room space.

Even so, he said node transitions, production efficiency improvements, and accelerated yield ramps should collectively drive at least 20% growth in bit shipments for both DRAM and NAND in calendar 2026.

He said that still does not fully bridge the gap to demand growth, which JP Morgan expects to run at 30%+ year over year, but he noted it marks an improvement from supply growth expectations even 90 days ago.

Pricing Support Builds As DRAM And HBM Demand Outruns SupplySur said he expects DRAM/HBM demand to outstrip supply beyond 2026 even as new capacity comes online, a setup he said underpins further strength in pricing.

He said management reiterated Micron can only serve 50% to two-thirds of key customers’ medium-term bit demand and added that demand will likely continue to exceed supply even as greenfield clean-room capacity starts to come online in calendar 2027.

He noted Micron has pulled forward the timing of first wafer-out for its Idaho 1 fab by about one quarter to mid-calendar 2027, but management expects the ramp of that greenfield capacity to be gradual because of physical limitations rather than capital constraints.

Sur said Micron expects competitors to face similar gradual ramp dynamics as they bring greenfield capacity online in late 2027 and 2028, while demand continues to rise.

He said JP Morgan expects this supply-demand tightness to support pricing strength through calendar 2026 at a minimum, with JP Morgan forecasting average DRAM pricing up almost 60% year over year in calendar 2026.

New AI Workloads Expand NAND Demand And Fuel Longer-Term UpsideSur said Micron sees context window memory management as a rapidly growing demand vector for NAND.

He said management viewed Nvidia’s CES announcement of its new Inference Context Window Storage platform as unsurprising because hyperscalers and others with in-house AI XPU infrastructure have already deployed, or are developing, KV cache management systems to manage rapidly growing context windows and offload from HBM and system memory.

Sur said this trend could open another swim lane for NAND bit demand growth, with attach rates for Nvidia’s Bluefield-4 based system likely to be high.

He added that Micron does not expect KV cache offload efforts to impact customers’ HBM roadmaps, which are already in place for the next couple of years.

Sur also said Micron expects physical AI, and robotics in particular, to become a “massive” demand driver for memory, following closely on the heels of generative AI and potentially representing a significant proportion of overall industry demand in the future.

He said management described customer plans as “incredible” in scale and pointed to implied memory needs, citing an example in which a leading edge humanoid robot utilizes upwards of 64–128GB of DRAM and 1–2TB of NAND, with both figures likely to rise over time.

Sur said scaling that across millions of units would imply significant incremental DRAM and NAND demand.

MU Price Action: Micron Technology shares were down 3.51% at $327.62 at the time of publication on Thursday. The stock is approaching its 52-week high of $346.30, according to Benzinga Pro data.

According to the complaint, Ardent Health reported higher amounts of accounts receivable during the class period, and delayed recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. Further, Ardent Health did not maintain professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts "sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]”

Plaintiff alleges that on November 12, 2025, Ardent Health revealed a $43 million decrease in third quarter 2025 revenue due to revised determinations of accounts receivable collectability after the Company transitioned to a new revenue accounting system and from purported “recently completed hindsight evaluations of historical collection trends.” On this news, the price of Ardent Health stock fell $4.75 per share, or nearly 34%, from $14.05 per share on November 12, 2025, to close at $9.30 per share on November 13, 2025.

Exclusive: Big Tech spared strict rules in EU digital rule overhaul, sources say stocknewsapi

BRUSSELS, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab, Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab, Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab and Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab will not face heavy-handed regulations in Europe's digital rule overhaul despite calls from telecoms companies, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

A slew of new tech rules adopted in recent years by the European Commission sparked criticism from the United States which says it targets U.S. tech giants. The EU has categorically rejected such claims.

Sign up here.

EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen will present the rule revamp known as the Digital Networks Act, which aims to boost Europe's competitiveness and investments in telecoms infrastructure, on January 20.

She will need to thrash out the details with EU countries and the European Parliament in the coming months before the DNA becomes law.

The tech giants will only be subject to a voluntary framework rather than binding rules to which telecoms providers have to comply with, the people say.

"They will be asked to cooperate and discuss voluntarily, moderated by EU telecoms regulators' group BEREC. There will be no new obligations. It will be a best practices regime," one of the people said.

Under the draft DNA, the Commission will also set out the duration of spectrum licensing, the conditions for the sale of spectrum and a pricing methodology to guide national regulators during auctions of spectrum which can yield billions of euros for governments, the people said.

While the goal is to harmonise the allocation of spectrum across the 27-country European Union and reduce the regulatory burden for telecoms companies, some national regulators may see it as a power grab.

The DNA will also allow governments to extend the 2030 deadline for replacing copper networks with fibre infrastructure if they can show that they are not ready, the people said.

Air France-KLM announces the successful issuance of a 650 million euros note under its EMTN Program

Air France-KLM successfully placed a €650 million senior unsecured notes under its EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) Program. The maturity of the notes is 5 years and the notes carry a fixed annual coupon of 3.875% (the yield was fixed at 4.033%).

This transaction enables the Group to take advantage of attractive market conditions and extend the average maturity of its debt.

The transaction attracted more than 150 orders from institutional investors with a peak orderbook in excess of €3.5Bn. The high level of oversubscription and quality of demand allowed the Group to achieve the lowest credit spread in its history and to increase the size from €500 million to €650 million.

The success of this transaction reflects Air France-KLM 's strong credit quality and investor confidence in its business model, growth potential and financial structure.

The proceeds of the issue will be used for general corporate purposes and to redeem the first tranche of the Sustainability Linked Bonds (€500m, coupon 7.25%) in May 2026.  

The Group's long-term debt is rated BB+ by Standard & Poor's and BBB- by Fitch Ratings.

J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Société Générale acted as Global Coordinators, with Bank of China, Commerzbank, HSBC, La Banque Postale and Natixis acting as Joint Active Bookrunners.
