Class Action Targets Offering Documents for Failure to Disclose “Known Trends” Adversely Affecting Operations and Liquidity

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman is issuing a reminder to investors in StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: STUB) ahead of the January 23, 2026, deadline of their opportunity to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the pending securities class action lawsuit.

The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement was materially flawed because it failed to disclose the known trends regarding vendor payments, causing the stock to collapse shortly after the IPO.

Share
The litigation centers on allegations that StubHub’s highly anticipated September 2025 Initial Public Offering (IPO) was launched using Offering Documents that contained material misstatements and omissions. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges the company failed to disclose crucial “known trends, events, or uncertainties” that were already adversely impacting its Free Cash Flow (FCF)—a key liquidity metric touted to prospective investors.

“This litigation focuses on alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, which requires transparency for newly public companies. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement was materially flawed because it failed to disclose the known trends regarding vendor payments, causing the stock to collapse shortly after the IPO,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation in this matter. “We urge investors in StubHub who purchased or otherwise acquired company shares pursuant to the IPO to contact the firm now.”

Legal Analysis: Alleged Undisclosed Vendor Payment Trends and IPO Disclosure Failures

The complaint focuses on the alleged misrepresentations and omissions within the core offering documents, which led to a substantial loss of market capitalization:

Securities Act of 1933 Liability: The lawsuit alleges the Registration Statement and Prospectus were materially flawed, making Defendants liable to investors who acquired shares pursuant to the IPO.

Concealment of Known Trends: The Offering Documents allegedly failed to disclose adverse changes in the timing of payments to vendors—an alleged known trend that directly impacted liquidity.

143% Liquidity Collapse: The alleged omitted truth led to Q3 2025 results revealing Free Cash Flow was negative $4.6 million, marking a stunning 143% decline from the prior year. This revelation corrected the market's perception of the company's operational financial health.

Investor Damages: This disclosure caused the stock to fall well below the IPO price resulting in compensable damages for investors who acquired shares traceable to the IPO.

Next Steps: Contact Partner Reed Kathrein Today

Hagens Berman has a proven track record, securing significant recoveries for investors.

Mr. Kathrein and the firm’s investor fraud team are actively advising investors who purchased STUB shares pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO and suffered significant losses due to the alleged undisclosed financial trends.

The Lead Plaintiff Deadline is January 23, 2026.

REalloys utilizes its first-to-market processing and metallization capabilities to secure a sovereign supply of heavy rare earths for U.S. defense agencies on an accelerated timeline.

Strategic alliance would establish the United States’ first fully domestic mine-waste-to-magnet ecosystem, leveraging federally funded upstream innovation to break reliance on foreign supply chains.

DALLAS, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blackboxstocks (NASDAQ: BLBX) Merger Target, REalloys Inc. (“REalloys”) announced today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Mission Critical Materials LLC (“MCM”) to establish a framework for the first fully domestic supply chain converting acid mine drainage into heavy rare earth metals and magnets for defense related manufacturing and strategic stockpiles.

The partnership links MCM’s upstream technology developed at West Virginia University (“WVU”) and funded extensively by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) and Department of War (“DOW”) (f/k/a Department of Defense) with REalloys’ first-to-market integrated midstream and downstream capabilities, including rare earth separation, HF-free metallization, alloy production, and U.S.-based magnet manufacturing, for planned delivery to U.S. government clientele, including the DLA, DOW and DOE.

Under the non-binding MOU, REalloys becomes MCM’s preferred downstream and offtake partner for rare earth materials recovered from acid mine drainage (“AMD”), a hazardous wastewater stream long viewed as only an environmental burden. MCM’s process recovers high-purity mixed rare earth oxides, including strategically important heavy elements such as dysprosium, terbium, yttrium, and gadolinium, as well as magnet-critical light rare earths like neodymium-praseodymium.

“This collaboration acts as a transformational bridge between America’s upstream innovation and the downstream industrial capacity required to finally rebuild a sovereign rare earth supply chain,” said Steve duMont, Non-Executive Chairman Elect of REalloys and President of GM Defense. “The alignment of REalloys’ first-to-market processing capabilities and MCM’s recovery technology will strengthen supply chain security and resilience for the defense industrial base, while further positioning REalloys to meet the heavy rare earths needs of U.S. strategic and protected markets on an accelerated timeline.”

MCM is assessing several potential U.S. domestic coal- and hard-rock-based AMD sites for commercial production. They plan to leverage continued DOW and DOE support to accelerate the industrialization of this recovery technology. Many of these sites have unusually high concentrations of the strategically important heavies; grades rarely found in U.S. deposits. MCM has already produced high-purity concentrates (>95% REO) from these materials, and anticipates being able to supply several hundred tonnes of heavies to the REalloys supply chain over the coming years. REalloys will now conduct separation, metallization and magnet-grade evaluations to demonstrate a complete U.S. production pathway—from wastewater to finished NdFeB magnets—using fully domestic infrastructure.

“This partnership represents a new model for American industrial strategy,” said Leonard Sternheim, Chief Executive Officer of REalloys. “By turning environmental liability into strategic sources of rare earth feedstock, we are securing domestic access to Dy, Tb, Y, and NdPr - the elements at the heart of U.S. defense technologies and advanced manufacturing. This U.S. Technology can also potentially be licensed, expanded, and further monetized through our international allied feedstock partnership network.”

This collaboration aligns with federal priorities to re-shore supply chains for critical minerals and reduce reliance on Chinese processing. By linking environmental remediation with advanced manufacturing, the REalloys–MCM partnership offers a template for building a resilient U.S. magnet supply chain. The companies expect to negotiate a definitive multi-year offtake agreement in 2026.

“For years, the United States has led in rare earth research but lacked a fully domestic pathway to convert that innovation into industrial output,” said Steve Dunmead, Chief Executive Officer of Mission Critical Materials. “Our partnership with REalloys changes that. By integrating our AMD-derived rare earth concentrates with REalloys’ processing and magnet-making capabilities, we are demonstrating that America can build a complete, resilient rare earth supply chain on its own soil. This is exactly the type of public–private collaboration envisioned by DOE and DOW.”

The companies plan to coordinate closely on technical optimization, flowsheet integration, and joint federal funding proposals. Both intend to pursue DOE and DOW opportunities in 2026 to accelerate commercial deployment.

About REalloys:
REalloys Inc. (“REA”) is a leading North American mine-to-magnet rare earth company, uniting its upstream resource at Hoidas Lake, with first-to-market midstream processing in partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (“SRC”), and downstream production of metals, alloys and magnet materials in Euclid, Ohio.

It was a nasty year for the software stocks in 2025, as investors pondered the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence (AI).

Ford recorded more fourth-quarter sales compared with the prior year, as lower-priced truck sales helped it more than offset a decline in electric vehicles.

No matter how much investors hope it will happen, volatility in the stock market isn’t going away, and market swings of a few percentage points in a single day, which used to be incredibly rare, may become more common, especially if we are truly in an AI bubble or if there are truly signs that the last three years of double-digit gains point to signs of an impending crash.

For dividend investors, this creates something of a choice, as fears of any crash might have you thinking you should hide in cash and watch your purchasing power erode, or think about how to build a portfolio that stays strong even when the markets are messy.

The problem is that most dividend strategies blow up when you need them most, so it’s time to build something different. The three ETFs below do exactly that by prioritizing quality, focusing on companies that raise dividends regularly, and structuring their holdings to reduce volatility without sacrificing income.

Why Dividend Quality Matters in Volatility
The difference between a dividend fund that breaks when things get tough and one that endures all comes down to what is “under the hood.” Some funds are going to chase yield by loading on shaky companies or overweighting in a single sector like technology. If this sector gets hit hard, the entire fund is affected, and dividend cuts could follow.

Fortunately, these ETFs take a different approach by screening for companies with strong balance sheets, consistent earnings, and that have already demonstrated they can perform during downturns. There is also a sizable amount of diversity, so that no single company or sector is weighing things down. The thing you need to know most is that when the market drops by 20%, these funds might fall 10%, but the dividend checks keep arriving, no matter what, and that is completely by design.

Fidelity High Dividend ETF
To get a portfolio started that can handle volatility well, begin by looking at the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (NYSE:FDVV), which holds high-quality dividend-paying stocks that have been screened for a history of sustainable payouts and strong business fundamentals. This fund looks at a variety of factors to identify which companies, based on their earnings, balance sheets, and cash flows, should be added to the holdings mix.

The 2.88% yield is modest, but the 11.29% dividend growth is the real story, and the fund isn’t even paying you maximum income today. The whole idea here is to position yourself to collect significantly larger dividends down the road. To this point, with a payout ratio of only 56.45%, there is plenty of room for growth, and if you owned 5,000 shares right now, you’re collecting around $8,200 annually in quarterly payments, all while knowing this number is going to be much larger by the end of the decade.

State Street SPDR S&P Dividend ETF
The State Street SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (NYSE:SDY) holds S&P 500 companies that all have a 20-year track record of dividend increases. This is more than just your standard dividend fund, it’s one that is built on the proven resilience of these companies, which means each of these names has survived recessions, rate shocks, and bear markets.

The 2.60% yield combines with a 7.44% dividend growth number to create a compelling story. What you are getting is meaningful income that is going to grow faster than inflation, all from companies that have shown over more than 20 years that they will keep paying no matter what.

There is even the comfort of knowing that this ETF holds its companies as spread across different sectors, so that you are not on the hook if just one single area gets overwhelmingly impacted during volatility. With around 5,000 shares of ownership, you’re looking at around $18,150 annually spread across four quarterly payments.

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF
If you’re focused on the long game, and you should be, look no further than the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSE:VIG), which is home to stocks that have raised dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. While a 1.62% yield might look small at first glance, you have to look deeper and find the 5.29% annual growth number.

Even during market corrections, this ETF is focused on quality, which in turn leads to smaller drawdowns than the broader market. What this really means is that the dividends you will receive are coming from businesses that can, again, remain resilient against market volatility.

With a payout under 40%, you also have room for growth as these companies keep raising dividends even if earnings might dip during a recession. Owning 10,000 shares would net you roughly $35,600 annually, but this number is set to increase to $37,500 the following year and then $39,500 the year after that, so you can quickly see the benefit of what you will receive with or without broader market volatility.

MILTON, Del., Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- January is typically defined by the optimistic pursuit of self-improvement. Despite the best intentions, that often translates to a high-pressure race to check the box on every "New Year, New You” trend. That’s why, this month, Dogfish Head is offering a lighter take on resolution season stresses with its “30 Minute Time Bank,” an immersive, one-day-only, pop-up experience designed to give folks something no productivity hack ever does: 30 uninterrupted minutes to themselves.

January asks a lot out of all of us, so we figured we’d give you a little something back – 30 minutes to slow down and ‘smell the hops,’ with a 30 Minute Light IPA in hand.”

 Inside Dogfish Head’s “30 Minute Time Bank,” folks will move through thoughtfully designed touchpoints that engage the senses and encourage moments of pause.

Meta Platforms said Tuesday that it's delaying the international expansion of its Ray-Ban Display glasses due to inventory constraints and "unprecedented" demand in the U.S.

"Since launching last fall, we've seen an overwhelming amount of interest, and as a result, product waitlists now extend well into 2026," Meta wrote in a blog post.

Due to "limited" inventory, the company said it will pause plans to launch in the U.K., France, Italy and Canada early this year and concentrate on U.S. orders as it reasses international availability.

Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp (TSX-V:PINN, OTCQB:PSGCF) has revealed promising results from a recently completed airborne LiDAR survey over its high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico, confirming known structures and uncovering new targets across the property.

The survey, which covered the entire 11-square-kilometre project, identified a total of 64 adits, six shafts, and 51 prospecting pits across Pinnacle’s two claim blocks.

On the northern El Potrero block, the survey confirmed the trace of the Dos de Mayo vein system, along with smaller exposures of the El Capulin and La Estrella veins. LiDAR data also suggests potential extensions to the southeast across the river valley, hosted in similar andesitic rocks, and a previously unidentified northeast-southwest structural trend that could host a different, intrusive-related style of mineralization.

The southern Maria Fernanda 2 block showed scattered shafts, adits, and pits, and LiDAR identified smaller structures perpendicular to a northwest-southeast trend. Road cuts in the area display intense argillic alteration and pervasive chloritization with minor pyrite, which Pinnacle interprets as indicative of a possible buried hydrothermal system.

“The LiDAR survey was highly successful in confirming the 1,600-metre known strike length of the Dos de Mayo vein system and, perhaps more importantly, has identified new structures, often with artisanal workings that may indicate the presence of vein material,” said Robert Archer, Pinnacle’s CEO.

“The sheer number of historic shafts, adits and pits interpreted from the LiDAR survey underscores the prospectivity of the project and, to date, we have focused only on the northernmost 10% of the property. As such, we are adding to our geological team to follow up on these new targets.”

The company plans a systematic follow-up exploration program in early 2026 to evaluate these newly identified targets.

Key Takeaways XLE comes into focus after Trump vows U.S. control of Venezuela's oil after the capture of the leader.CVX is the only U.S. major in Venezuela, positioning it for privileged access to vast oil reserves. VDE offers diversified exposure to U.S. oil majors as investors weigh asset recovery against high costs.
The global energy landscape experienced a dramatic upheaval recently following the U.S. military operation that led to the capture of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro. This bold geopolitical move, characterized by U.S. President Trump as a mission to liberate Venezuela's vast resources from "drug terrorism," has placed U.S.-Venezuela relations at a historic flashpoint. 

Trump’s subsequent vow to have American companies "take control" and "revitalize" Venezuela’s oil industry has sent shockwaves through the market. For investors, this scenario has suddenly placed a spotlight on energy companies with existing Venezuelan footprints, and, by extension, the energy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold them, as markets weigh the potential for a major redistribution of global oil wealth.

The Geopolitical Impact on Energy CompaniesThe current crisis is a double-edged sword for energy giants. 

On one hand, U.S. control could grant American energy firms "privileged access" to the world's largest proven oil reserves, estimated at over 300 billion barrels. To this end, it is imperative to mention that currently, Chevron (CVX - Free Report) is the only U.S. oil major operating in Venezuela, while other U.S. oil giants like Exxon Mobil (XOM - Free Report) and ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) have billions of dollars in outstanding claims in relation to seized projects by the Venezuelan President.

Furthermore, Venezuelan heavy crude is considered an ideal feedstock for many complex refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, which were specifically engineered decades ago to process dense, high-sulfur (sour) oil, thereby offering a strategic supply source. U.S. energy majors, particularly the three mentioned above, thus stand at the forefront of this crisis, and a favorable political shift could pave the way for asset recovery and earn them new, lucrative operations. 

However, the reality of "controlling" this oil involves navigating a decimated infrastructure that requires an estimated $100 billion in investment, or may be even more, to fully recover. This investment would have to be made against a backdrop of relatively low global oil prices and considerable uncertainty over Venezuela’s legal and political future, factors that could deter U.S. energy companies from deploying capital aggressively.

What Do Analysts Expect?In light of the current situation, industry experts remain divided on whether the United States can truly "control" Venezuelan oil in the near term and the resultant impact on U.S. energy companies.

For example, analysts from JP Morgan suggest that if the United States successfully integrates Venezuelan reserves, it could control nearly 30% of global oil, potentially stabilizing prices at historically lower ranges and reshaping the balance of power in international energy markets (as mentioned in a Fortune press release). 

In the same line of thought, analysts from Goldman Sachs believe that the scope for higher Venezuelan oil output in the long run, after the United States’ capture of the nation’s leader, may eventually pressure global crude prices (as cited in a Yahoo Finance report). 

On the contrary, many experts, including those at Rystad Energy, caution that oil majors might be "wary" of investing billions without absolute political stability and legal guarantees. They warn that meaningful increases in crude production to 3m barrels of oil a day would require 16 years of work and investments totaling $185 billion, due to the decrepit state of Venezuelan facilities and the risk of future political reversals (as cited in The Guardian). 

Thus, while the U.S. administration promises the crisis as a "gold mine" for its domestic firms, the immediate geopolitical gambit arising out of this crisis creates a high-stakes scenario where the potential for massive resource access is weighed against immense political, legal, and infrastructural risks, directly impacting the valuations and prospects of major energy firms.

Energy ETFs in the SpotlightGiven this volatile backdrop, as mentioned above, investors might be closely watching diversified Energy ETFs that provide exposure to the U.S. oil majors positioned for potential upside while mitigating the risk of any single company. Four such ETFs currently in focus are:

State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE - Free Report)

Smaller 5-millimeter instruments to be incorporated into the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system

Takeways:

SS Innovations International enhances the SSi Mantra platform with new 5mm robotic instruments for high-precision, small-anatomy surgeries
SS Innovations International leverages SSi Mantra to expand access to pediatric and cardiac robotic surgery in underserved global markets
Ongoing innovation by SS Innovations International positions SSi Mantra as a cost-effective, scalable solution for advanced robotic procedures worldwide

Fort Lauderdale, FL, January 6, 2026 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SS Innovations”) (Nasdaq: SSII), a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announced that the Company has completed the development of five new 5-millimeter surgical instruments for clinical use across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck surgery, among other procedures involving smaller anatomical structures.

The newly developed 5-millimeter surgical instruments include a spatula cautery, hook cautery, needle driver, bipolar forceps, and grasping forceps.

Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for Asia Pacific, commented, “We developed several new smaller instruments designed to benefit critical surgical robotic procedures across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck.  Our innovative 5-millimeter instruments, combined with our advanced, cost-effective SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, show great promise for supporting the large population of pediatric patients left behind each year.  Globally, 1.7 billion children and adolescents lack easy access to critical surgical care, which can play a significant role in preventing disability and death.1  It has been reported that more than 390 million children under the age of five in lower- and middle-income countries do not receive timely intervention with safe and affordable surgical care.2  Unfortunately, to date most robotic surgeries have been geared towards the adult population.  We aim to make robotic surgery more accessible to pediatric patients with new, smaller surgical instruments.” 

Dr. Srivastava concluded, “In addition, our 5-millimeter instruments can benefit cardiac surgery, which often involves small structures, such as the internal mammary artery during robotic coronary artery bypass surgery.  Furthermore, our new robotic instruments can help perform critical tasks during head and neck procedures, which entail tight working space and quite small structures.  Moving forward, we will continue to focus on developing differentiated surgical robotic technologies, such as these instruments, for the benefit of a larger segment of patients globally.”

As of December 31, 2025, the cumulative installed base of the SSi Mantra totaled 168 systems, including 12 systems deployed across nine countries outside of India. To date, 153 hospitals have installed the SSi Mantra, and more than 7,800 surgical procedures have been performed, including over 120 telesurgeries and more than 400 cardiac procedures.

Southdale YMCA, part of YMCA of the North, becomes the second YMCA location nationally to partner with Cardio Diagnostics, expanding community access to AI-powered cardiovascular testing and education

EDINA, Minn. & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDIO), an AI-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company, today announced a new partnership with the Southdale YMCA to bring expanded heart health education and advanced cardiovascular testing to their members and the broader Edina community. The Southdale YMCA primarily serves the Edina, Richfield, Bloomington, and South Minneapolis areas, supporting more than 14,000 individuals, approximately 80% of whom are adults.

“Heart disease is often preventable when detected early, and this collaboration gives more individuals an opportunity to be proactive about their heart health.”

Share
This collaboration builds on Cardio Diagnostics’ growing engagement with YMCAs nationwide, following its inaugural partnership with the YMCA of East Tennessee.

Heart disease remains a persistent challenge nationally. In Minnesota, approximately 17% of all deaths are due to heart disease. These numbers highlight the importance of bringing meaningful heart health resources directly to Minnesota communities like Edina. By combining community-based education with innovative testing options, Cardio Diagnostics and the Southdale YMCA aim to help YMCA members and Edina residents better understand and manage their cardiovascular risk.

New 2026 Community Offerings

As part of the collaboration, Cardio Diagnostics will host an in-person heart health education event on January 26th at 11.30am CT at the Southdale YMCA. The session will be led by Dr. Robert Philibert, MD, Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Cardio Diagnostics, and will offer community members practical guidance on reducing their risk of heart disease, understanding their individual cardiovascular profile, and using modern tools to support long-term heart health. Additional members of the Cardio Diagnostics team will also be on site to engage with attendees and answer questions.

This educational event will lead into the Southdale YMCA Heart Health Fair on February 25th between 8am-4pm CT, offering members the opportunity to explore heart health resources, ask questions, and access Cardio Diagnostics’ physician-ordered tests with onsite blood sample collection available.

Access to Advanced Testing for the Community

Throughout the program, Southdale YMCA members and the Edina community will have access to discounted prices for Epi+Gen CHD™ and PrecisionCHD™, two clinically validated tests developed by Cardio Diagnostics.

Epi+Gen CHD™ provides a three-year risk assessment for a coronary heart disease (CHD) event, including heart attack risk.

PrecisionCHD™ assists in the diagnosis and management of CHD.

Both tests use a simple blood draw and are powered by epigenetics and AI. The tests will be available through Cardio Diagnostics’ telemedicine partner, with the option to receive an at-home kit or complete sample collection at the Heart Health Fair.

“We are excited to partner with the Southdale YMCA to bring our precision cardiovascular tools to the local community,” said Meesha Dogan, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of Cardio Diagnostics. “Heart disease is often preventable when detected early, and this collaboration gives more individuals an opportunity to be proactive about their heart health.”

“The Southdale YMCA is committed to helping individuals thrive throughout every stage of life,” said Catherine Quinlivan, Senior Operations Director at Southdale YMCA. “By offering this program that encompasses innovative cardiovascular testing alongside education, this partnership allows us to better support the health and well-being of our members and the broader community.”

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have drawn strong inflows in 2026 as Matrixport analysts point to renewed investor appetite due to the new year’s “clean-slate effect.”

US spot Bitcoin ETFs bagged $697 million worth of inflows during the second trading day of 2026 on Tuesday, bringing in over $1.1 billion in net positive inflows in the opening days of the new year, according to Farside Investors data.

The renewed inflows are a welcome sign for Bitcoin (BTC) holders, following two consecutive months of net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. The funds saw $3.48 billion in outflows in November and $1.09 billion in December, according to Sosovalue data.

Inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs were the primary driver of Bitcoin’s momentum in 2025, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, recently told Cointelegraph.

Bitcoin ETF Flows, in USD Millions. Source: Farside InvestorsLooking at other crypto funds, spot Ether (ETH) ETFs attracted $168 million on Monday, marking their second consecutive day of inflows. Spot Solana (SOL) ETFs recorded $16.8 million in investments, clocking 20 days of successive inflows, according to Farside Investors.

The renewed demand for crypto ETFs reflects a “rebalancing phase” driven by geopolitical risk and “liquidity positioning,” as fundamental market drivers remain “constructive” despite the elevated uncertainty, according to Lacie Zhang, research analyst at Bitget Wallet.

The renewed ETF inflows and expanding stablecoin supply signal that “institutional buyers are absorbing supply, supporting a near-term rebound,” Zhang told Cointelegraph, adding:

“In this setup, Bitcoin has room to push toward $105,000, while Ethereum could test $3,600, as traders balance inflation risks with crypto’s deflationary characteristics and long-term adoption narrative.”Crypto market demand surges on new year “clean-slate effect”Meanwhile, a report from crypto platform Matrixport highlighted the “clean-slate effect” of the new year, which allowed cryptocurrency markets to reset as $30 billion of Bitcoin and Ether futures leverage unwound since the $19 billion market crash at the beginning of October.

“Entering 2026, positioning is far leaner, speculative excess has been flushed out, and without the weight of crowded trades, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies now have room to follow their natural trajectory, which may well be higher,” wrote Matrixport in a Monday X post.

Smart money traders were net short on Bitcoin for $108 million, with nearly $19 million in net short positions added during the past 24 hours, according to crypto intelligence platform Nansen.
