Dogecoin, PEPE rocket as much as 25% as 2026 starts with a bang for memecoins cryptonews
DOGE PEPE
The broader meme coin market is heating up, with CoinGecko's GMCI Meme Index showing a market value of $33.8 billion and a trading volume of $5.9 billion.Updated Jan 3, 2026, 6:47 a.m. Published Jan 3, 2026, 6:46 a.m.

Dogecoin and pepe led a sharp meme coin bounce on Friday, with traders leaning into “meme season” talk as 2026 gets underway.

Dogecoin was up about 11% over 24 hours, while pepe rose roughly 17% on the day after a stronger intraday push.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Crypto’s meme basket has also been heating up more broadly. CoinGecko’s GMCI Meme Index category showed a market value of roughly $33.8 billion with about $5.9 billion in 24 hour trading volume, a sign that the move is not just a single token story.

Meanwhile, the “dog themed” basket flashing green across the board. Following dogecoin, Shiba Inu was up 8% and Solana’s Bonk added nearly 11%, while Floki climbed close to 10%.

The move was not limited to the majors and smaller caps moved faster, with Mog Coin up about 14% on the day and roughly 37% over seven days, while Popcat gained nearly 9% and is up more than 17% on the week.

Traders on X pointed to PEPE’s sharp breakout, with some charts suggesting momentum traders are chasing a familiar setup where speculative flows spill from large caps into meme coins once liquidity returns.

Why are memes popping?Bitcoin has been range bound, liquidity is still uneven after the holidays, and traders are looking for the highest beta place to express risk on views without waiting for a clean macro catalyst.

Memes tend to benefit in that environment because they move fast, have deep derivatives markets on major venues, and attract momentum flows that do not need a fundamental narrative.

That does not automatically mean the market has entered a sustained meme cycle.

A lot of these bursts are self reinforcing in the short run, but fragile. When positioning gets crowded, spot demand thins, or bitcoin slips, meme coins can unwind quickly because the same leverage that accelerates the upside can force sharp downside de risk moves.

One way to frame it is that memes are acting like a temperature check on speculative appetite.

A “meme season index” style approach tracks how many large meme tokens are outperforming bitcoin over a set window. If that number keeps rising, it usually means traders are rotating into higher risk corners of the market rather than just buying large caps.

For now, the price action says traders are willing to take selective risk. The next signal will be whether the move spreads beyond a handful of liquid meme names, or fades as quickly as it started.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Dec 22, 2025

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.View Full Report

Bitcoin: The Crucial Price Levels to Watch This Year cryptonews

Summarize this article with:

2026 promises to be a decisive year for bitcoin. After historic peaks and brutal corrections in 2025, BTC finds itself at a technical crossroads. What are the thresholds to watch to anticipate its next moves? Decoding the key levels, possible scenarios, and expert opinions.

In Brief

The levels of $74,508 and $100,000 are the critical thresholds to watch for bitcoin in 2026.
Experts are divided: some anticipate peaks at $150,000 or $170,000, while others foresee consolidation between $65,000 and $75,000.
Investors must adopt proactive strategies, using technical analysis tools and following macroeconomic announcements.

The Price Levels That Will Tip Bitcoin in 2026
Bitcoin is evolving around major technical levels in 2026. In this respect, the critical support at $74,508, linked to the 20-month exponential moving average, is a historic pivot. A break below this threshold could trigger a drop towards $65,000, or even $50,000, as observed during past corrections.

Conversely, the psychological resistance at $100,000 for bitcoin represents a symbolic milestone. Therefore, its crossing would open the way towards $126,199, the previous historic peak. Between these two extremes, the consolidation zone between $85,000 and $90,000 is to be watched, with tightened Bollinger bands, a sign of imminent volatility.

Tightening of the Bollinger bands.
Technical indicators, such as RSI and trading volumes, will confirm the strength of movements. A bullish break above $100,000 could reignite optimism, while a collapse below $74,508 would plunge the market into uncertainty.

What Do Experts Think About Bitcoin in 2026?
Expert opinions on bitcoin in 2026 are mixed. On one hand, institutions like J.P. Morgan and Bernstein anticipate ambitious peaks, with forecasts up to $150,000 or $170,000. These optimists base their views on:

The continuous influx of institutional capital;
The growing adoption of Bitcoin ETFs;
An increasingly favorable regulatory environment.

On the other hand, players like Fidelity and Fundstrat take a more cautious view. Indeed, they believe that 2026 could be a year of consolidation, with support located between $65,000 and $75,000. This divergence reflects uncertainties related to global liquidity, monetary policies, and the evolution of traditional BTC cycles.

Finally, according to Polymarket, bettors estimate only a 27% chance that bitcoin will reach $150,000 in 2026. This low probability underscores persistent doubts about BTC’s ability to maintain a strong bullish trend in a still fragile economic context.

BTC: How Should Investors Prepare in 2026?
In 2026, bitcoin investors must adopt a proactive strategy to navigate between bears and bulls. For traders, using stop-loss and take-profit orders around key levels, such as $74,508 and $100,000, is essential to limit risks. Monitoring volatility indicators, like Bollinger bands or the crypto VIX, will help anticipate sudden moves.

Long-term investors should diversify their portfolios and closely follow macroeconomic announcements, especially those from the Fed and regulations. Furthermore, technical analysis tools and reliable information sources will be valuable allies for staying informed in real time. Finally, risk management remains paramount in such a volatile market. Whether trader or investor, vigilance and responsiveness will be the watchwords throughout this year.

2026 could mark a turning point for bitcoin, between confirmation of its maturity and a new test of resilience. The key levels to watch provide a compass to anticipate its moves. But according to you, will BTC manage to exceed expectations or will it suffer a major correction?

Why Is the Crypto Market Up Today? Bitcoin Price Above $90K Sparks Altcoin Rally cryptonews
BTC
The crypto market has started 2026 on a strong note, with Bitcoin climbing back above the $90,000 mark and triggering a broad rally across altcoins. While Bitcoin’s move itself drew moderate attention, the real momentum is coming from strong buying activity, rising whale accumulation, and improving on-chain signals across the market.

At the time of writing, the total crypto market cap has crossed $3.07 trillion, with nearly all major assets trading in the green.

Bitcoin Price Reclaims $90K, Sets Positive Market ToneBitcoin is currently trading around $90,290, recovering from recent lows and regaining a key psychological level. Although BTC remains nearly 30% below its 2025 high, the rebound has restored confidence among investors who view this zone as a long-term accumulation area.

Historically, Bitcoin reclaiming major levels has often led to renewed activity in the broader market, and this time has been no exception.

Altcoins Rally as Market Turns GreenAltcoins have taken the spotlight heading into the weekend, with strong gains across the board. In the past 24 hours, PEPE jumped 25%, while SUI rose 14% and DOGE climbed 13%. ADA and AAVE each gained 11%, SHIB moved up 10%, and XRP added around 8%, showing renewed buying interest across major tokens.

Ethereum has also strengthened, trading near $3,124, while the altcoin market cap has surged to $214.86 billion.

XRP Flips BNB to Become Third-Largest CryptoOne of the most notable developments today is XRP overtaking BNB to claim the third spot by market capitalization. This shift reflects rising interest driven by whale accumulation and XRP’s growing role as a hedge narrative amid global uncertainty.

The move has added fuel to broader altcoin sentiment, encouraging traders to rotate capital beyond Bitcoin.

Whale Buying Surges Across Major ExchangesA major driver behind today’s rally is heavy Bitcoin buying from large players. On-chain data shows coordinated accumulation over the last 10 hours:

A single whale bought 7,194 BTCBinance acquired 4,928 BTCCoinbase added 8,176 BTCKraken bought 2,267 BTCWintermute accumulated 1,613 BTCIn total, more than $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin was purchased in a short period. Such large-scale buying typically reduces available supply and pushes prices higher, especially during low-liquidity periods.

Crypto Market Cap Breaks Key TrendlineThe total crypto market cap has now broken above a long-standing descending trendline. The last time this technical breakout occurred, the market rallied nearly 60% in the months that followed.

While past performance does not guarantee future results, this breakout is widely seen as a positive structural shift for the market.

Another important factor supporting prices is the behavior of long-term Bitcoin holders. After months of heavy selling, the largest distribution phase since 2019, long-term holders have flipped back to net accumulation.

When long-term holders stop selling, downward pressure typically fades. Prices may not surge instantly, but strong support levels often begin to form.

At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs continue to absorb available supply while corporate treasuries are quietly buying on dips. Retail participation remains limited, and overall market sentiment is still driven by caution rather than hype. 

Historically, this mix of strong institutional demand, low retail involvement, and elevated fear has tended to appear closer to market bottoms rather than market tops, often laying the groundwork for a more sustained recovery.

Ethereum Activity Hits New HighsEthereum’s on-chain activity has also strengthened. Daily transaction counts have surpassed levels last seen during the 2021 NFT boom, suggesting renewed network usage and demand.

Rising activity often signals improving market conditions, especially when paired with price stability.

Rising Open Interest Signals Renewed Risk AppetiteFutures open interest has climbed 2.16% in the last 24 hours, reaching nearly $130 billion. This increase suggests traders are deploying fresh capital and leverage, a sign of growing confidence in short-term market direction.

Buying the Dip Supports Market RecoveryMany investors are also buying the dip after steep declines in 2025. Ethereum is still down about 40% from last year’s high, while several major tokens remain well below previous peaks. Historically, such pullbacks often attract long-term buyers looking for value.

Regulatory Clarity and Institutions Boost 2026 OutlookWith clearer crypto regulations expected in the US and increased institutional onboarding, many market participants believe 2026 could mark a turning point for crypto adoption.

While volatility remains part of the market, today’s rally reflects improving fundamentals rather than short-term hype.

In short, the crypto market is moving higher because sellers are stepping back, whales are accumulating, and confidence is slowly returning.

Billion-dollar Bitcoin hacker Ilya Lichtenstein released early, thanks Trump cryptonews
BTC
Ilya Lichtenstein, the hacker behind one of the largest Bitcoin thefts on record, has been released from prison just over a year after receiving a five-year sentence, thanks to a criminal justice reform law signed during former President Donald Trump’s first term.

“Thanks to President Trump's First Step Act, I have been released from prison early,” Lichtenstein said in a Friday post on X. “I remain committed to making a positive impact in cybersecurity as soon as I can,” he added.

The First Step Act, passed in 2018, expanded eligibility for sentence reductions through earned time credits and other rehabilitation measures. Lichtenstein was sentenced in November 2024 after pleading guilty to a money laundering conspiracy tied to the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, in which nearly 120,000 Bitcoin (BTC) were stolen.

Lichtenstein’s wife, Heather Morgan, also acknowledged the news, posting a photo of the couple and calling it the “best New Year’s present” after years of separation. Morgan, who performed under the name “Razzlekhan” and was charged for helping launder the stolen funds, received an 18-month sentenceand announced her own early release in October.

Morgan posts a photo of the couple after Lichtenstein’s release. Source: Heather MorganBitfinex hack duo arrested in 2022Lichtenstein and Morgan were arrested in 2022, years after the hack, following a sweeping federal investigation that ultimately led to the seizure of a significant portion of the stolen Bitcoin. Their case later became the subject of a Netflix docuseries and an upcoming film.

After being sentenced to five years in prison, Lichtenstein confessed to hacking Bitfinex in 2016 and laundering “thousands of Bitcoin” but suggested he wanted to shoulder the entirety of the blame rather than his wife. “[My wife] was in no way involved in the hack itself. She didn’t even know about it for years,” he said.

Though there were many victims of the Bitfinex hack, the exchange may be the only party that qualifies for reimbursement, according to an October 2024 court filing. The US government had asked victims of the 2016 hack to submit impact statements by November.

Trump to review case of Samourai wallet co-founderLichtenstein’s early release comes as Trump has said he will review the case of Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez, signaling he may consider a potential pardon. Speaking at a White House press conference last month, Trump said he was aware of the case and would “take a look at it,” while noting he was not yet familiar with the details.

In January last year and shortly after taking office, Trump granted Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the defunct darknet marketplace Silk Road, a presidential pardon on his life sentence. He also pardoned Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao in October.

Could XRP Become a Top 2 Crypto? Realistic Outlook vs $10,000 Price Claims cryptonews
XRP
XRP shocked the crypto market in 2024.

After years of slow movement and legal uncertainty, the token surged nearly five times in value toward the end of the year 2024. Many investors openly admitted they missed the move. Some were left asking whether this rally was just a one-off event or the early sign of something bigger brewing for 2026.

Why XRP’s 2024 Move Caught Everyone by SurpriseUnlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, XRP had largely fallen out of favor with short-term traders. Regulatory pressure, slow price action, and limited retail hype kept it off most radar screens.

That is why the late-2024 acceleration stood out. It was fast, aggressive, and unexpected. The rally did not follow the usual meme-coin or retail-driven patterns. Instead, it appeared more connected to institutional narratives, banking use cases, and long-term infrastructure positioning.

This has led some analysts like Abs and Paul Barron to believe XRP could be setting up for another major cycle around 2026.

XRP vs Ethereum: A Growing ComparisonMuch of the current discussion centers on comparing XRP with Ethereum.

Ethereum remains the second-largest digital asset, but it has struggled to translate technology upgrades into strong price performance. ETH fell roughly 45% from its peak near $4,950, raising concerns about whether its value capture model is weakening.

One issue is Ethereum’s heavy reliance on Layer-2 networks, which improve scalability but also pull transaction value away from the main ETH token. As more activity shifts off-chain, the question becomes simple: Does Ethereum still benefit as much as it used to?

XRP supporters argue that this is where the XRP Ledger gains an edge.

The Institutional Thesis Behind XRPUnlike most retail-driven cryptocurrencies, XRP is often analyzed through a different lens.

The core argument is that XRP should not be valued like a speculative token but rather as financial infrastructure. Ripple continues to position XRP as a bridge asset for banks, cross-border payments, stablecoins, and tokenized finance.

Supporters point to three major drivers:

Growing bank and institutional partnerships
More spot XRP ETFs in the future
Expanding use cases on the XRP Ledger, including DeFi and smart contracts
The $10,000 XRP Debate: Vision or Fantasy?One analysis that has sparked intense debate says XRP could one day reach $10,000 per token.

The logic behind this claim is not based on traditional crypto market math. Instead, it assumes XRP becomes deeply embedded in global liquidity flows, settlement systems, and institutional finance.

Critics argue this view ignores basic supply dynamics and market reality. Supporters counter that infrastructure assets do not behave like retail tokens.

The truth likely lies somewhere in between.

While such price targets may be unrealistic in the near term, they highlight a deeper issue: XRP is being judged by rules that may not fully apply to its intended use case.

Why Ethereum May Be the Bigger Risk Going ForwardBitcoin has firmly secured its “digital gold” narrative. It does not need constant upgrades or new use cases to justify its value.

Ethereum, however, sits in a more fragile position. It must continuously evolve while defending its dominance against faster, cheaper, and more scalable networks. Even with strong technical leadership, Ethereum’s price has struggled to respond.

There is also a growing concern around centralized influence, where a single tweet or leadership controversy could impact market confidence.

XRP’s Biggest Strength and Its Biggest RiskXRP’s greatest advantage is also its biggest risk.

On one hand, it has clear institutional goals, real-world integration, and regulatory progress. On the other, its success depends heavily on adoption by banks, regulators, and financial institutions, groups that move slowly and cautiously.

Unlike meme coins or retail-driven assets, XRP’s upside is not fueled by hype alone. That makes it less explosive in bull markets but potentially more durable over time.

Crypto Weekly Recap: Market Rebounds as Meme Coins Rally, CLARITY Act Advances, and Tether Expands Bitcoin Treasury cryptonews
BTC USDT
Why Trust CoinGape

CoinGape has covered the cryptocurrency industry since 2017,

all facets of the digital asset space with unwavering commitment to timely, relevant information.

The crypto market started 2026 on a more positive note as risk appetite in major assets, meme coins and AI-linked tokens increased. Also, the good regulatory outlook was reinforced by the progress made on the U.S. CLARITY Act.

The crypto market focus also shifted to accumulations by treasuries. Tether had added more Bitcoin to its reserves, which indicated long-term trust in the asset.

Can Meme Coins Lead the Crypto Market Rally?
Bitcoin and Ethereum exhibited a mild level of upside bias during the week. Crypto market mood turned bullish as there was significant investments in speculative assets, notably AI tokens and meme coins. BTC and ETH, XRP and SOL options-market positioning were also of interest.

Based on the max-pain levels, there were indications of short-term volatility in Bitcoin and other major assets. But confidence remained following the apprehensive mood of late 2025. This was evident in traders becoming more interested to invest in riskier tokens.

PEPE was among the top gainers in the meme coin sector, which was due to increased trade volumes. Also, new speculative buying showed renewed attention to Dogecoin and AI-linked tokens as their prices rose as well.

The trend shows that the new technology segment of the crypto market is of significant interest to investors. The tokens’ gains appeared to have been more momentum-oriented than fundamentals.

Does CLARITY Act Progress Help Sentiments in the Crypto Market? 
The week was enriched with regulatory developments. The CLARITY Act discussions showed that U.S. policymakers remain interested in faster progress on digital asset regulations in 2026. This progressive flow was considered by market players as a positive indication of long-term market structure.

In addition, positioning related to options is still affecting short-term sentiment. The future expiries and the max-pain rates provided a hint on the possible price ranges for the top assets.

Tether Expands Bitcoin Treasury Holdings
Meanwhile, USDT stablecoin issuer Tether increased its Bitcoin holdings through the acquisition of 8,888 BTC. The acquisition created interest in the buying activity of the company and its approach to managing its crypto reserves.

The relocation also supported the emphasis on the development of the crypto ecosystem treasury. Also, it contributed to supply distribution discussion and market psychology as large holders kept on accumulating for long-term exposure.

Bitcoin ETFs attract $471 million to kick off the new year cryptonews
BTC
The year-end sell-off was short-lived as buying pressure returned to the Bitcoin ETF market.

Key Takeaways

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted about $471 million in inflows on the first trading day of the year.
BlackRock's IBIT led the group with $287 million, followed by ETFs managed by Fidelity and Bitwise.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US kicked off 2026 with a surge in demand, pulling in roughly $471 million in fresh capital in the opening trading session, Farside Investors data shows.

Renewed appetite for Bitcoin exposure helped reverse the negative trend seen on December 31, when the ETF group shed $348 million.

On Friday, the sector saw a complete turnaround with no funds posting losses, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with inflows of approximately $287 million. Funds managed by Fidelity and Bitwise also reported major gains.

The rebound came amid a crypto market recovery, with Bitcoin climbing above $90,000, while Ethereum surged past $3,100. In the past 24 hours, the total crypto market capitalization rose approximately 2% to $3.1 trillion, per CoinGecko.

Ethereum ETFs also bounced back. After a $72 million outflow on the final day of 2025, inflows resumed yesterday as spot Ethereum ETFs recorded around $174 million in fresh capital, largely driven by funds managed by Grayscale and BlackRock.

XRP Flips BNB After 7% Daily Surge, Analyst Predicts Ripple Will Never Go Below $2 Again cryptonews
BNB XRP
XRP touched a three-week peak.

Ripple’s native token joined the overall altcoin trend on Friday and jumped by double digits from bottom to top. More precisely, it skyrocketed from $1.86 to a three-week high of $2.05 before it faced some resistance but still stands above $2.00.

This has helped the asset reclaim the fourth spot in terms of market capitalization from Binance Coin, which is up by a more modest 1% daily and 4.4% weekly. As a result, BNB’s market cap sits at $120 billion, while XRP’s has neared $122 billion.

Naturally, the XRP Army rejoiced in this price revival as the asset was struggling sideways below $2.00 and even $1.90 for weeks. Cobb, one of the most vocal Ripple supporters, was quick to predict that the underlying asset won’t go below $2.00 again, even though it’s excruciatingly close to doing exactly that now.

Analyst CW indicated that the XRP rocket had launched after the asset broke past the first resistance at $1.90. They added that the number of XRP short positions is quite slim, which shouldn’t be a problem for the asset to continue its run.

On a more macro scale, CW explained that XRP’s Phase 4 has just begun. The analyst noted that breaking through the $3.65 July 2018 all-time high “is the top priority,” which could send the token even north.

The next step of $XRP‘s Phase 4 is beginning.

Breaking through the ATH is the top priority. https://t.co/jQP1fiKdXl pic.twitter.com/tGPOCFgLuo

XRP Jumps Above $2 as Market Watches $3.20 for Trend Confirmation cryptonews
XRP
XRP jumped back to the $2 level on Jan. 2, then traders shifted focus to whether it can flip $2.10 into support for a larger push.

XRP Reclaims $2 Level in Early January TradingXRP climbed back above the $2 mark on Jan. 2, extending a late-week advance after several days of sideways movement. The token traded as high as about $2.05 during the session before easing slightly, according to CoinCodex data, marking its strongest price level since late December.

XRP Price Breaks Above $2 on Jan. 2. Source: CoinCodex

Earlier in the week, XRP moved within a narrow band between roughly $1.83 and $1.90. During that period, price action showed overlapping candles and limited follow-through, which pointed to consolidation rather than a clear trend. On Dec. 31, a brief dip toward the lower end of the range failed to hold, and price quickly recovered, suggesting short-term support remained intact.

Structurally, the chart shows a transition from range-bound trading into a short-term breakout attempt. The $2 level now acts as a key reference point. Holding above it would keep the recent upside move intact, while a drop back below could place price back into the earlier consolidation zone.

As of the latest reading, XRP traded near $2.03, with market capitalization around $123 billion and 24-hour volume close to $5.9 billion.

Swiss Trader Points to $3.20 Flip as Key XRP TriggerIn a post on X, trader Swiss, known as @swisstrader09, said XRP shows a “clean structure” on higher time frames, with the $2.10 level acting as the key line between continuation and further consolidation.

The TradingView chart shared by Swiss shows XRP breaking out of a descending trendline that guided price lower for several months. Price has now moved back into a former support and resistance band around $2.05–$2.10, highlighted as a decision zone.

According to the chart, sustained trading above this area would signal a structural flip, rather than a short-lived bounce, following repeated rejections in late 2025.

Swiss noted that confirmation remains necessary before taking action. The chart projects a potential move toward the $3.30–$3.40 region if XRP flips $2.10 into support and consolidates above it. That target aligns with a prior horizontal resistance zone from earlier market cycles.

Until such confirmation appears, price action remains in a transition phase rather than a confirmed trend continuation.

Bitcoin Price To Hit $100K in Coming Weeks – Here's Why cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin price is approaching a decisive moment that could shape its next major move, with bullish momentum steadily building as 2026 begins. After weeks of consolidation, BTC has reclaimed its 21-day moving average, a key technical signal that often marks a shift in short-term trend direction.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading within a well-defined range between $84,000 and $90,000, a zone it has respected for over a month. The immediate focus for traders is the $90,000–$92,000 resistance band. A clean and sustained break above this level could quickly open the door toward $95,000, with $100,000 emerging as the next psychological and technical target.

Why Bitcoin Price is Poised For 30% Rally in the Coming Weeks?Several historical and macro signals are aligning in Bitcoin’s favor as the market heads into Q1 2026.

1. Three Red Monthly Candles PatternBitcoin recently printed three consecutive red monthly candles. Historically, the last four times this occurred, BTC formed a short-term bottom, followed by rebounds ranging from 30% to as high as 130%. This pattern has often marked exhaustion in selling pressure.

2. RSI Hits Oversold LevelsBTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped into deeply oversold territory in recent weeks. In past cycles, similar RSI conditions have coincided with the end of major downtrends and the start of strong upside moves.

3. Nasdaq 100 Signals Risk-On SetupThe Nasdaq 100 began 2026 trading below its 50-day moving average. The previous four instances of this setup led to strong rallies during the first few months of the year, a trend that has historically benefited risk assets like Bitcoin.

4. Panic Signals in US Equity MarketsThe US equity put/call ratio spiked toward the end of 2025, reflecting heightened investor fear and demand for downside protection. Historically, such spikes have marked local market bottoms, with positive returns often following over the next two to three months.

5. Potential Capital Rotation From MetalsGold and silver added more than $13 trillion in combined market value during 2025. If metals enter a consolidation phase, profit-taking could drive some liquidity back into equities and crypto, supporting Bitcoin’s upside case.

BTC Price, Key Levels to WatchBitcoin formed a local low near $80,500 on November 21. Since then, price action has remained constructive despite sideways movement. Reclaiming $90,000 on strong volume remains critical. A successful breakout could accelerate momentum toward $95,000, with a continuation likely targeting the $100,000+ region.

Overall, the bias remains bullish. As long as BTC holds above key short-term averages and buying pressure continues to build, the probability of a breakout increases. The coming week is expected to be crucial, as strong follow-through above resistance could confirm a fresh upward trend and bring 6-figure Bitcoin back into focus sooner than many expect.

On the other hand, according to Ali charts, Recent market analysis suggests Bitcoin may be mirroring price behavior seen in NVIDIA ($NVDA) during previous market cycles. If this correlation plays out, BTC could briefly sweep liquidity below the $78,400 support level before staging a strong reversal.

Jupiter Exchange Considers Ending JUP Buyback as Airdrop Size Gets Slashed cryptonews
JUP
Jupiter Exchange, a major Solana-based DEX aggregator, is rethinking its JUP token buyback plan after spending over $70 million with little effect on price, as JUP still trades 89% below its all-time high. 

At the same time, the platform has reduced its JUP airdrop from $700 million to $200 million to ease pressure.

Jupiter Exchange Plan To End JUP BuybackIn a recent post, Siong, a core member of the Jupiter Exchange team, asked the community if stopping the JUP buyback could be better for the project. He shared that Jupiter spent over $70 million on buybacks last year, but the token price barely moved.

This raised a simple question, instead of buying tokens, should the money be used to build and grow the platform? 

Siong says that the JUP team suggested using the funds for user rewards, new features, and better incentives.

what do you all think if we stop the JUP buyback?

we spent more than 70m on buyback last year and the price obviously didn’t move much.

we can use the 70m to give out for growth incentives for existing and new users.

should we do it?

— ⚔️ SIONG (@sssionggg) January 3, 2026 Joining the discussion on X, Amir Haleem, founder of Helium (HNT), responded with his experience. According to Haleem, markets no longer reward token buybacks as they once did.

He said that Helium and Helium Mobile generated $3.4 million in revenue in October alone, and the team has decided to use that money to grow real users, expand its network, and build partnerships, rather than buying tokens.

JUP Buybacks Show Limited Price ImpactEarlier reports and governance talks show that Jupiter spent a large share of its revenue on JUP buybacks over the past year. The exchange had promised to use 50% of its protocol fees to buy back JUP and lock the tokens for three years to reduce supply and support long-term value.

Despite these efforts, the JUP token price is still down about 89% from its all-time high of $1.83.

The token is now trading near $0.205, close to multi-month lows, and has underperformed many other Solana-based tokens, even though Jupiter’s platform continues to grow strongly.

JUP Airdrop Size Reduced to Cut Selling PressureAlong with the buyback talk, Jupiter also shared big changes to its JUP airdrop. The total airdrop has been cut from 700 million JUP to 200 million JUP. This move aims to reduce selling pressure once tokens are distributed.

Out of these, 175 million JUP will go to active community users, while 25 million JUP are set aside for people who stake JUP.

In addition, 200 million JUP are reserved only for stakers. Another 300 million JUP will stay locked to support JupNet’s long-term growth, and 300 million more will be used for ecosystem rewards, with no near-term selling.

The final snapshot for the airdrop is set for January 30, 2026, with $0.20 marked as the last entry price.

Bitcoin Drops Below $90K Amid Reports of Explosions in Venezuela cryptonews
BTC
BTC reached $91,000 yesterday but its progress was halted.

Bitcoin’s price recovery was stopped earlier on Saturday morning as the asset dropped from its multi-week peak of $91,000 to under $90,000.

The latest rejection came after reports emerged about several explosions felt across Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, which were linked to potential strikes by the United States.

The cause has not been confirmed yet, but US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned Venezuela of ground strikes, and deployed a navy task force in the Caribbean. Additionally, the BBC reported that the Trump administration was aware of the explosions today, but there’s no official statement yet.

The CNN added that several areas of the city were left without power after the explosions, and agency journalists said they could hear the sound of an aircraft.

Although the strikes have not been confirmed to be initiated by the US, BTC’s price felt the consequences immediately after the reports started to go live. The asset, which has been prone to experience enhanced volatility in times of attacks between different nations, stood at around $90,500 after it touched $91,000 yesterday.

However, it dumped by over a grand within less than an hour following the first BBC and CNN reports and now sits at $89,500.

Canton Network Emerges as Wall Street's Blockchain Infrastructure of Choice cryptonews

TLDR:

Table of Contents

TLDR:Broadridge Powers Trillion-Dollar Operations on Canton InfrastructureMajor Financial Institutions Deploy Canton-Based Systems at ScaleGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

Broadridge processes over $280 billion daily in repo market transactions on Canton Network platform
DTCC received SEC approval to tokenize $30 trillion in US Treasury securities using blockchain
Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq built native tokenization platforms on Canton’s private infrastructure
Digital Asset Holdings raised $450 million from Wall Street giants including Nasdaq and Citadel

Canton Network has positioned itself as the primary blockchain infrastructure for traditional finance institutions. 

The platform processes over $280 billion daily through major financial players. Wall Street’s adoption of blockchain technology appears to be materializing through private, institutional-grade networks rather than public alternatives.

Broadridge Powers Trillion-Dollar Operations on Canton Infrastructure
Broadridge Financial Solutions operates as a critical backbone for global financial markets. The $26 billion company handles approximately $10 trillion in daily transactions. 

The firm deployed its Distributed Ledger Repo platform on Canton Network in 2023. This platform now processes over $280 billion in daily repo market volumes.

The DLR platform enables instantaneous settlement of financial collateral between banking institutions. Banks can track lending activities, bond ownership, and cash settlements in real time. Traditional settlement processes often require multiple days to complete transactions. Canton’s infrastructure reduces this timeline to seconds through atomic capabilities.

Broadridge serves 19 of the 24 major players in the repo market. The company continues migrating legacy operations to the blockchain-based system. 

Industry observers note that tokenized assets represent legally binding economic claims. These digital representations mirror traditional financial instruments in economic value.

Canton’s architecture employs DAML programming language for enhanced privacy features. Bank A and Bank B can transact while keeping operations invisible to others. 

This privacy-focused design addresses regulatory requirements and competitive concerns. Public blockchains cannot offer the confidentiality that traditional finance demands.

Major Financial Institutions Deploy Canton-Based Systems at Scale
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation received SEC approval to tokenize US Treasuries. DTCC manages over $100 trillion in assets under custody. Approximately $30 trillion of these assets consist of US Treasury securities. This regulatory clearance enables tokenization of Depository Trust Company assets.

Goldman Sachs built its bond tokenization platform GS DAP on Canton Network. Nasdaq integrated its Calypso platform with Canton for collateral management. 

The Calypso system serves over 95 percent of major banking institutions. Banks now manage tokenized collateral within existing risk management software.

Additional participants include Bank of America, Santander, Tradeweb, DRW, and Citadel. These institutions utilize Canton for real-time collateral operations and 24/7 market access. 

The network facilitates settlement of tokenized treasuries against stablecoin instruments. Traditional settlement systems cannot match this operational efficiency and speed.

Digital Asset Holdings raised over $450 million to develop Canton Network. Strategic investors include Nasdaq, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, and Citadel. 

Circle and other blockchain firms also participated in funding rounds. These investors actively use the network rather than functioning as passive providers.

Canton succeeded where previous attempts failed by offering neutral infrastructure. Competing institutions avoided proprietary systems controlled by rivals. 

The platform coordinates major players through shared private blockchain infrastructure. Analysts suggest 2026 could mark institutional blockchain adoption reaching critical mass.

BitMine stakes $259M more ETH, pushing validator entry queue near 1M Ether cryptonews
ETH
BitMine Immersion Technologies has added another 82,560 Ether, worth roughly $259 million, to Ethereum’s staking system, intensifying congestion in the network’s validator entry queue as institutional demand for yield continues to build.

Data from Arkham shows that the Ether (ETH) treasury firm sent multiple large deposits to Ethereum’s BatchDeposit contract within the past few hours. With the new stake, BitMine’s total staked ETH has climbed to 544,064 Ether, valued at approximately $1.62 billion at current prices, according to onchain analyst Lookonchain.

BitMine first started staking ETH on Dec. 26, transferring nearly $219 million worth of ETH to staking-related contracts on the Ethereum network.

In November, BitMine revealed plans to begin staking Ether in the first quarter of 2026 through an internal infrastructure known as the Made-in-America Validator Network (MAVAN). The company said it had selected three institutional staking providers for an initial pilot, deploying a limited amount of ETH to evaluate performance, security and operational reliability before expanding the program.

Ether validator entry queue nears 1 million ETHMeanwhile, BitMine’s aggressive staking push has helped push Ethereum’s validator entry queue to roughly 977,000 ETH, with an estimated wait time of nearly 17 days for new validators to become active, according to the blockchain explorer Ethereum Validator Queue.

On the other hand, exit activity remains comparatively light, with just over 113,000 ETH waiting to withdraw.

Ethereum validator queue. Source: ValidatorQueueEthereum’s network data shows that more than 35.5 million ETH, or roughly 29% of total supply, is now staked, while the annualized staking yield stands near 2.54%.

Abdul, the head of DeFi at layer 1 blockchain Monad, said in an X post last week that the last time the entry and exit queue flipped in June, Ether “doubled in price shortly after,” and predicted that “2026 going to be a movie.”

Tom Lee pushes massive share expansion at BitMine As Cointelegraph reported, Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, is urging shareholders to approve a sharp increase in the company’s authorized share count to 50 billion, arguing the move is needed to accommodate future stock splits if Ether’s price drives BitMine’s valuation higher.

Lee said the company’s share price closely tracks ETH and modeled scenarios in which Ether reaches $250,000 if Bitcoin climbs to $1 million, a level that would push BitMine shares to prices he believes would price out most retail investors.

Bitcoin treasury companies face valuation strain, 40% now underwater cryptonews
BTC
Almost half of all publicly-listed Bitcoin treasury companies, also known as Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), are trading below the value of the digital assets on their balance sheets. About 40% of the top 100 Bitcoin treasury firms are valued by the market at less than the net asset value of their BTC holdings, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net.

At least 37 companies in the group now trade at discounts to NAV, a notable reversal from conditions seen in Q2 and Q3 2025 when the king coin was changing hands at all-time-high levels. 

During the first three quarters of the year, most treasury firms possessed sizable premiums and could issue equity above the value of their Bitcoin, raise capital, and buy more coins without immediate shareholder dilution. Nearly 200 public firms now hold more than 1 million Bitcoin collectively, valued at roughly $96 billion in 2026. 

Among the top 5 BTC DATs by holdings are Strategy, with 672,497 BTC, and MARA Holdings, which owns 53,250 coins. Twenty One Capital holds 43,514 Bitcoin, Metaplanet controls 35,102, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury holds 30,021. 

Is the Bitcoin DAT model a failure? mNAVs fall steeply 
When Michael Saylor’s software firm Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) began buying Bitcoin through convertible notes and equity, Bitcoin’s price was slightly above $11,000. Fast forward to 5 years later, an all-time-high value of $126,000 in October must have been a reason for MSTR shareholders to smile, but that wasn’t entirely the case.

The model began to falter as equity valuations slipped and BTC prices tanked by over 30% in just three months, not to mention several firms like Strategy had bought the highs. Once stock prices fell below NAV, the business model of issuing new shares to buy Bitcoin became uneconomical, exposing firms to market pressure and investor criticism.

A December report from BitcoinTreasuries.net showed that only one BTC treasury company, France-based The Blockchain Group, outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025, since the benchmark US stocks index returned 16% over the year.

Every other treasury company was well behind the index, and about 60% of them spent more acquiring BTC than those holdings are currently worth. Pioneers Strategy traded at more than double the value of its Bitcoin last year, but its shares are now at a 17% discount to NAV.

Smaller players like Sweden’s H100 Group trade at a 32% discount, Vanadi Coffee trades at a 61% discount to its BTC value, alongside five to six firms near parity, including Brazil-based OranjeBTC. Any modest equity selloff could push them below NAV and make them ripe for a takeover if Bitcoin’s price drop continues.

Echoes of distress, delisting on MSCI, and DATs dubbed rug pulls
Bitcoin treasuries are being blasted by some naysayers in the crypto community, who believe the companies’ buying spree led to a crypto market pull-down causality. 

“Every single one of these companies is simply a pump N dump rug pull on their common shareholders. And no, preferred equities won’t save your shitty scheme when you don’t have a profitable underlying business, will not save your shitty stock. You should avoid any company that calls itself a ‘DAT’ or ‘Bitcoin treasury company’. Bunch of scammers and idiots tbh,” complained one user on X.

Some companies, seeing the whiplash of red mNAVs, are also stepping back, including Prenetics, a health-sciences firm that began buying Bitcoin in 2025. Cryptopolitan reported that it stopped adding coins on December 4 and will now focus on IM8, a nutritional supplement brand co-founded by former England football captain David Beckham.

“We are making disciplined strategic decisions that reflect our experience as operators and our commitment to maximizing long-term shareholder value,” Danny Yeung, Prenetics’s chief executive officer, said in a press release.

In other related news, index provider MSCI’s decision to exclude companies holding significant BTC reserves from its global benchmarks will be made on January 15. If the NYSE-listed company greenlights its exclusion, estimates from BTC for Corporations show the DATs would be forced to sell between $10 billion and $15 billion over a year.

BTC for Corporations, a group advocating corporate Bitcoin adoption, held discussions with MSCI leadership before 2025 came to a close. “We had a very constructive conversation,” said George Mekhail, the group’s executive director.

Tensions Rise As XRP Nears Critical Psychological Level cryptonews
XRP
9h25 ▪
4
min read ▪ by
Luc Jose A.

Summarize this article with:

For the first time in over 400 days, a major technical support of XRP has broken. Under pressure below 2 dollars, Ripple’s crypto operates in a critical zone. The market holds its breath, as the bullish structure falters, and what follows will depend on the next moves.

In brief

XRP breaks a key technical support, for the first time in over 400 days.
The price is trapped between $1.85 and $1.88, below the strong $2 resistance.
This compression zone signals a possible increase in short-term volatility.
Several technical signals suggest a weakening of the bullish momentum.

A major support breaks : the technical signal not to ignore
XRP is at a decisive turning point, as a long-term technical support breaks for the first time in more than 400 days and supply collapses on exchanges.

Indeed, the crypto has just broken below its 200-day simple moving average on the 3-day time frame, a crucial technical support level never crossed to the downside in over a year. In a post on X, analyst Umair Crypto highlights that XRP “faced strong resistance around the psychological level of 2 dollars”, causing a tight consolidation between $1.85 and $1.88, reflecting market indecision.

This type of compression, common in pre-break phases, often signals imminent volatility. Current technical analysis reveals several signals illustrating the token’s vulnerability :

A close below the 200-SMA (3D) : a significant break from a long-term trend perspective ;

Price compression between $1.85 and $1.88 : this hesitation zone acts like a vice before a potential volatility explosion ;

A psychological resistance at $2 : a symbolic wall the market has not been able to break for several days.

These signals suggest that XRP is at a pivotal moment. The long-term momentum seems to be weakening, and although buyers still hold short supports, the break of the 200-SMA marks a major technical turning point that investors will need to watch very closely.

Increased structural pressure
Beyond purely technical signals, the fundamental context adds considerable pressure on the XRP price.

One of the most significant recent events is Ripple unlocking 1 billion tokens, a planned operation but one that “adds additional pressure to an already fragile market setup”.

This sudden increase in supply, amidst consolidation, could increase downside risks if demand does not follow. The market has not yet fully absorbed this new liquidity, and this constitutes another fragility factor.

Analyst Umair Crypto identifies intermediate support levels at $1.45, $1.10, then $0.69 in case of accelerated selling. Any acceleration in selling pressure could lead to a faster price drop, as the price operates within a range where buyers have not yet established strong defenses.

On a monthly scale, Chad, another analyst, notes that the current level corresponds to a former ceiling now acting as support, which “suggests that buyers continue to defend the existing structure”.

The XRP ETF suffers an unexpected setback after a month of success, increasing pressure on an already weakened asset. In a tense market, buyers’ reaction around current levels will determine if this pullback marks the start of a deeper reversal.

Why Are Memecoin Prices Surging? Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Lead Rally cryptonews
DOGE PEPE SHIB
As of the latest update, the memecoin market is witnessing a sharp uptrend to start 2026. The total sector market cap jumped 10.8% over the last 24 hours, reaching $48.4 billion. 

The Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe are all the main movers as the bullish momentum continues to gain momentum over the last 24 hours.

Memecoin Frenzy: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, And Pepe Prices Surge
Memecoin prices surged across the board, led by PEPE’s 17% rally. Dogecoin followed with a 10% gain, while Shiba Inu rose 9%.

The broader crypto market also showed strong performance, rising 3% in the past day and reclaiming the $3.12 trillion mark

Bitcoin price is trading above $90k in addition to the rising global sentiment and seasonal factors, which assisted in driving this force. Capital is now being shifted by analysts to high-volatility sectors such as memecoins.

The activity of a significant memecoin trading has increased dramatically, and PEPE is doing the best among them. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also recorded strong returns. 

Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index increased by 8 to 36, the value that indicated an improvement in investor sentiment.

Dogecoin Price Soars 10% as Whales Buy 325M DOGE
In the past 24 hours, Dogecoin price increased by more than 10% to $0.1432. The rally was spurred by the positive trend in altcoins and favorable technical signs.

The trading volume increased 114% to reach a high of $3.23 billion, showing increased interest.

BREAKING: 🐕 🐋 Whales purchased over 325 million $DOGE (Dogecoin) in the last 12 hours. pic.twitter.com/ARpwYEBuWS

— CEO (@Investments_CEO) January 3, 2026

Whales have purchased over 325 million DOGE on-chain, and 220 million of them in the last 24 hours. These massive inflows assisted Dogecoin to regain the support level of $0.130.

The rush came after a greater crypto market momentum, with Bitcoin trading above $91 000 and Ethereum price nearing $3,000. 

As long as the bullish pressure persists, DOGE is likely to revisit $0.15.A prolonged breakout would provide a road to the area of $0.20, which would strengthen short-term bullishness.

SHIB Eyes $0.0000090 After Bullish 8% Spike
Shiba Inu Price climbed 8% in 24 hours, reaching $0.000007665. Trading volume rose sharply to $216.26 million, up 86.04%.

This surge indicates growing bullish momentum. If buyers sustain pressure, SHIB could potentially push toward the $0.0000090 resistance level in the near term.

Pepe Coin Price Jumps 17% After Falling Wedge Breakout
Pepe coin price jumped 17% after breaking out of a falling wedge pattern, signaling renewed bullish momentum in early January. 

The token was trading at $0.0000055907 with a high increase of 112% in the volume of the day to 3.45 billion.

The increase in derivatives was indicated by an increase in open interest of 0.65 to a high of $448.70 million. 

Technical indicators aid the possibility of an increase up to $0.0000058 when the momentum prevails. 

Source: Coinglass
PEPE has the potential to increase gains over the next few days due to increased demand for memecoins. 

The rally highlights renewed investor interest as a trading frenzy gathers strength in leading meme tokens, with PEPE the one potentially in a new upward direction in the month.

What’s Next for Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, And Pepe
As the bullish trend continues, Dogecoin can soon approach the level of $0.15, Shiba Inu could reach the level of $0.0000090, and PEPE will be able to shake hands at the level of $0.0000058. 

The continued pressure to buy and increasing volumes, and the wider optimism in the market, may be the driver to further increases in these memecoins in the short term.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Memecoin prices are rising due to improved market sentiment, whale accumulation, and strong trading volumes.

Yes. Whales purchased over 325 million DOGE, pushing price above $0.13 support.

Bitcoin Bulls To Reclaim Market When Price Closes Above This Level – Analyst cryptonews
BTC
For the majority of December, Bitcoin maintained a stable price range between $85,000 – $90,000 following the initial heavy corrections seen in Q4 2025. Amid the cheers of the new year, the flagship cryptocurrency has once again retested the proven price resistance around $90,500, but the market still bears a sense of uncertainty.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium To Rebound? 
In an X post on January 2, renowned analyst Burak Kesmeci shares an insightful analysis of the Bitcoin market following the asset’s positive start to 2026. Notably, the premier cryptocurrency has gained by almost 4% since the new year commenced two days ago. Amid the mild market euphoria, Kesmeci highlights a simultaneous rise in Coinbase premiums across the Bitcoin and Ethereum market suggesting the recent price gains are significantly influenced by US investors. 

Source: @burak_kesmeci on X
For context, the Coinbase premium assesses how much more or less US investors are paying for an asset. It is a strong market indicator as US investors’ liquidity tends to heavily influence the global market. Despite the latest price gains, Kesmeci notes that Coinbase premiums for BTC and ETH still remain negative, suggesting the majority of US investors still remain cautious.

Bitcoin Short-Term And Long-Term Triggers 
In predicting future price movements, Burak Kesmeci has also outlined some potential developments investors should watch out for. Using the simple moving average indicator, the market expert has identified certain price levels of importance to Bitcoin’s price trajectory. For a bullish trend to kick off in the short-term, Kesmeci explains that Bitcoin must maintain its current 50-day simple moving average (SMA50) above the present level at $89,415 for at least the next two days. Notably, a potential loss of this price level would suggest the present consolidation continues.

Source: @burak_kesmeci on X
Meanwhile, the seasoned analyst also expects a positive long-term trend to only develop when Bitcoin crosses above $101,000, which represents an intersection between the SMA365 and SMA111. This outlook underscores $101,000 as a major psychological and structural resistance, with a decisive break above it likely to restore Bitcoin’s bullish market structure after the extended correction observed in Q4 2025.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $89,520 following a 0.85% gain in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is up by 11471%, representing buoyant market activity. Notably, Bitcoin’s market cap has climbed to $1.79 trillion, allowing the maiden cryptocurrency account for 58.6% of the total crypto market cap.

Bitcoin Supply in Profit Slides to 68.85%, Signaling a Critical Market Transition cryptonews
BTC
TLDR:

Bitcoin’s Supply in Profit at 68.85% places the market firmly in the transition zone between bull and bear phases.
The sustained decline since October 2024 suggests structural fatigue, not a short-term pullback or anomaly.
Prolonged consolidation below 75–80% historically raises the probability of deeper downside phases.
Elevated volume masks weakening internals, reinforcing the need for cautious positioning and risk control.

Bitcoin on-chain metrics indicate the market may be shifting toward a critical juncture. The Supply in Profit metric has declined to 68.85%, placing it within the transition zone between bull and bear market conditions. 

This sustained decline since October 2024 suggests growing fatigue in the broader market cycle. As of writing, Bitcoin trades at $89,512.60 with a 24-hour volume of $50.18 billion.

Supply in Profit Metric Signals Weakening Market Strength
The Supply in Profit indicator measures the percentage of Bitcoin currently held at a profit. Analysts classify readings above 80% as bull market territory, while levels at or below 55% typically indicate bear market conditions. The transition zone spans between 55% and 80%, where the current reading of 68.85% now resides.

This metric has been trending downward for several months rather than experiencing a brief correction. 

Bitcoin Cycle: Entering a Transition Toward a Bear Market?

“If price action continues to consolidate and the metric stagnates around the 70% level, historical cycles suggest an increasing likelihood of a transition into a broader bear market.” – By @Yonsei_dent pic.twitter.com/8DkHWv6Vh3

— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) January 2, 2026

Market observers note this pattern resembles the accumulated fatigue seen during late-cycle phases in previous Bitcoin cycles. The decline represents more than just temporary weakness in price action.

Trading volume remains elevated at over $50 billion in the past 24 hours. However, the prolonged consolidation around the 70% level raises questions about the sustainability of further upside momentum. 

Bitcoin has gained 0.83% in the last day and 2.33% over the past week, though these modest gains occur against a backdrop of weakening internals.

Duration in Transition Zone Becomes Critical Factor
Market analysts emphasize that the length of time spent in the transition zone matters more than the initial drop below 80%. 

Historical patterns suggest prolonged stagnation around current levels increases the probability of entering a broader bear market phase. Conversely, a recovery above 75-80% would indicate potential cycle extension.

Macro conditions continue to weigh on risk assets across financial markets. Geopolitical tensions and increasing demand for safe-haven assets create headwinds for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. These external factors compound the technical weakness shown in on-chain data.

The current environment calls for conservative positioning rather than aggressive directional bets. Market participants should prioritize risk management as the transition phase unfolds. 

While definitive predictions remain premature, the data suggests Bitcoin has entered the early stages of moving away from bull market conditions. 

Whether this transition leads to a full bear market or merely a consolidation period depends on price action and metric recovery in coming weeks.

Stani Kulechov has moved to reset the conversation inside the Aave community after a contentious governance vote rejected a proposal to transfer control of the protocol’s brand assets and intellectual property to its decentralized autonomous organization.

Key Takeaways:

Aave’s founder says the protocol must move beyond DeFi lending to keep growing.
Aave Labs plans to share non-protocol revenue with AAVE holders and revisit IP control.
Governance tensions persist over fees and influence despite the SEC closing its probe.

The failed vote reignited debate over Aave’s long-term direction and how value should be shared between tokenholders and core contributors.

Addressing those concerns in a post on Aave’s governance forum on Friday, Kulechov said the protocol faces a strategic inflection point as growth in decentralized finance lending alone may not be enough to sustain its next phase.

Aave Founder Says DeFi Is at a CrossroadsKulechov argued that Aave should expand beyond its core DeFi lending business into areas such as real-world assets, institutional credit and consumer-facing financial products.

Without that broader push, he warned, DeFi risks stalling as competition intensifies and market conditions shift.

He described the ecosystem as being “at a crossroads,” urging the community to think beyond near-term governance disputes.

A key element of the roadmap is a plan by Aave Labs to distribute non-protocol revenue to holders of the AAVE token.

The move would mark a shift in how the token captures value, extending its role beyond governance voting.

Kulechov also said a revised proposal addressing intellectual property and brand rights will be brought forward, following strong resistance to the initial plan.

The strategy pitch appears aimed at unifying a community that has grown divided over questions of control and revenue ownership.

Kulechov singled out real-world assets as a major growth avenue, citing estimates that put the value of global financial assets at roughly $500 trillion, a pool he believes on-chain finance can increasingly tap.

Aave remains one of the largest DeFi protocols by scale. Industry data showed the platform’s total value locked surpassed $45 billion in October, underscoring its influence even as the broader sector grapples with slower growth and regulatory uncertainty.

Aave Governance Dispute Centers on Swap Fees and Revenue ControlThe governance dispute itself centered on fees generated by token swaps routed through services such as CoW Swap, which allow users to trade directly from Aave.

Some community members argued those revenues should accrue to the DAO, while others favored keeping them under the control of Aave Labs to fund development.

Tensions were heightened by Kulechov’s recent purchase of roughly $15 million worth of AAVE tokens.

Critics suggested the move was intended to sway the vote, a claim Kulechov rejected, saying the purchase reflected personal conviction rather than an attempt to influence governance.

Last month, the US Securities and Exchange Commission formally concluded its multi-year investigation into the Aave Protocol without recommending any enforcement action.

The action ends nearly four years of regulatory uncertainty surrounding one of decentralized finance’s most widely used lending platforms.

Bitcoin Loses $90K Level as U.S. Strikes Hit Venezuela: What's Next for BTC? cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin’s recovery has unfortunately hit another wall.

Just as the market was trying to build momentum above $90,000, reports of explosions in Venezuela sent Bitcoin sharply lower. Within an hour, BTC fell from its recent peak near $91,000 to below $90,000, once again showing how fast geopolitical headlines can shake crypto markets.

Explosions Reported in CaracasEarly Saturday morning, loud explosions were heard across Caracas around 2:00 am (0600 GMT).

The timing comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. U.S. President Donald Trump has deployed a navy task force to the Caribbean and has openly raised the possibility of ground strikes. Earlier this week, Trump said the U.S. had “hit and destroyed a docking area” used by alleged Venezuelan drug boats.

While there is still no official confirmation linking the Caracas explosions to U.S. action, BBC reported that the Trump administration was aware of the incident. CNN added that several parts of the city were left without power, and journalists reported hearing aircraft sounds.

Bitcoin Drops Below $90KThe crypto market reacted immediately.

Bitcoin, which was trading around $90,500 after touching $91,000, dropped by more than $1,000 in less than an hour after the reports surfaced. The price has slid to around $89,750, wiping out gains from the previous day and stopping the ongoing recovery attempt.

The move highlights a familiar trend. During periods of geopolitical tension, Bitcoin has shown increased volatility, often reacting like a risk-sensitive asset rather than a standalone hedge.

Here We Go Again…Frustration quickly surfaced across the crypto community.

Ash Crypto posted, “US is attacking Venezuela. And it’s happening exactly when crypto is trying to recover. F*cking tired of this shit now.”

Crypto Rover echoed the sentiment, saying, “We were finally starting to recover. This is incredibly frustrating.”

A Familiar Pattern ReturnsThroughout 2025, Bitcoin repeatedly reacted to geopolitical and macro events – from the U.S. government shutdown to U.S.-China trade tensions and Middle East conflicts.

Now, just three days into 2026, Bitcoin appears to be responding to global risk once again.

How much further Bitcoin falls remains to be seen.

Bitcoin reclaims $90K – Is this BTC's true 2026 price bottom? cryptonews
BTC
Journalist

Posted: January 3, 2026

2026 has kicked off with solid bullish momentum. 

Between ETF inflows and steady whale buying, the market looks largely in sync, what many are calling “coordinated accumulation.” On paper, this makes a case that a market bottom could already be in.

But does the data back it up? From a technical angle, Bitcoin [BTC] has opened 2026 with a 2.8% jump, reclaiming the $90k level after six weeks of consolidation, adding weight to the idea that a bottom may already be in.

Source: TradingView (BTC/USDT)

If so, the $90k reclaim may just be the first step. 

From a positioning standpoint, the trade is already paying off. Lookonchain data flagged a trader who went fully long on Bitcoin with 20x leverage and is now sitting on roughly 55% unrealized gains, with an entry near $87k.

Meanwhile, on the 2nd of January, $326 million in shorts got flushed, marking the biggest short liquidation in a month and aligning with BTC’s push to $90k. In short, flows and liquidations are starting to tilt bullish.

The key question now: Is this smart positioning or blind optimism? According to AMBCrypto, that distinction will be critical in determining whether BTC can sustain its rally or if this move ends up being a “bull trap.”

Strategic play vs. market optimism: The Bitcoin dilemma
Keeping an eye on Bitcoin’s on-chain data is more important than ever.

The logic’s simple: The Fear & Greed Index is up 7 points, almost on the verge of leaving the “fear” zone. BTC’s funding rates flipping positive? Not a fluke. Optimism is running hot, and traders are betting on more upside.

Consequently, it’s worth watching if on-chain data backs this positioning. If not, any sudden shift could trigger a cascade, pushing the index back into fear. Plus, with Bitcoin whales on the move, the risk of fallout is very real.

Source: CryptoQuant

Notably, the chart above highlights this risk. 

By removing exchange addresses, the data shows that whale balances are actually declining (first chart). Similarly, addresses holding 100–1,000 BTC (which include ETFs) show the same pattern (second chart).

At the same time, it’s still too early to see Bitcoin ETFs as solid bid support. After all, historic losses have pushed assets under management (AUM) down to $67.6 billion, near the lowest level since June 2025.

Taken together, this shows a clear disconnect between positioning and on-chain data. With the market reading whale moves as “coordinated accumulation” and ETFs still lagging, Bitcoin’s upside looks exposed. 

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin’s whale balances are declining, and ETFs are lagging, despite bullish sentiment and positive funding rates.
With optimism running hot but structural support weak, the rally looks like a textbook bull trap, putting the bottom thesis under scrutiny.

The Top Stocks to Buy With $50,000 for 2026 stocknewsapi
AMZN GOOG GOOGL TSM
These tech giants should continue to deliver for their shareholders.

If you've got $50,000 that you're looking to invest during 2026, I've got a few stocks that you should consider. Even if you don't have that much to deploy, smaller investments in these three stocks would allow retail investors to benefit from where the market looks to be heading. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM +5.28%), Amazon (AMZN 1.93%), and Alphabet (GOOG +0.48%) all have strong chances to outperform in 2026.

Taiwan Semiconductor
Taiwan Semiconductor is a key provider of the high-end chips being deployed in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure buildout. Without its foundry capabilities, we wouldn't have the AI tech that we know today.

The investment thesis for Taiwan Semiconductor is fairly simple: Over time, the world will use more chips and more advanced ones. The truth of that premise is fairly obvious if you look at the trends in the tech sector's spending forecasts.

All of the AI hyperscalers set new records on capital expenditures in 2025, and all of them have said they expect to break those capex records in 2026. This money is being used to purchase land, build data centers, and fill them with the cutting-edge computing hardware required to handle generative AI workloads. Because it is the world's largest third-party foundry operator, Taiwan Semiconductor is manufacturing a major share of the chips going into those data centers, and that hardware isn't cheap.

Every time a new data center is constructed, TSMC gets a slice of the spending. With the data center buildout expected to accelerate in 2026 and beyond, Taiwan Semiconductor makes for a strong investment.

Amazon
Amazon is one of those companies constructing data centers for its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is the most popular cloud computing option. It's also a major client of Taiwan Semiconductor through some of the chips that it purchases.

AWS provides 66% of Amazon's total operating profits, so as AWS goes, so goes Amazon.

Fortunately for Amazon shareholders, AWS grew revenue at a 20% clip during Q3 -- its fastest rate in several years. With AWS growing rapidly and established as a critical partner for many AI-focused businesses, I think Amazon will be a great stock to invest in during 2026.

Alphabet
Alphabet shares had an incredible 2025, rising by around 65%. That performance isn't likely to be repeated in 2026, as part of it came as the result of the stock starting the year undervalued due to a cluster of concerns. 

GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.

Now, it's trading at 30 times forward earnings, a valuation in line with its peers. This means the bulk of Alphabet's stock performance from here will be driven by its business growth, which is trending upward. In Q3, Alphabet reported a strong performance across the board. Revenue rose 16% year over year, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased by 35%.

Even Google Search, the most mature part of Alphabet's business, experienced revenue growth of 15%. This indicates how strong the advertising market is, and as long as that market stays healthy, I have no reason to doubt that Alphabet will be a profitable stock pick in 2026.

Furthermore, Alphabet has emerged as a leader in the AI realm, thanks to its popular large language model, Gemini. If Alphabet can continue to push boundaries and innovate, it will have a unique cost advantage. Alphabet can afford to keep prices on its models low to beat the competition, which may allow it to become the dominant AI model over the long term. We won't have a clear answer about how that will play out anytime soon, but it's a trend to keep an eye on.

Though it won't repeat 2025's performance in 2026, Alphabet still looks like one of the top stocks to buy right now.

Is Amazon Stock Still a Buy After Hitting an All-Time High? stocknewsapi
AMZN
Amazon's performance is presenting an opportunity.

Shares of Amazon (AMZN 1.93%) set an all-time high in November 2025. You probably know that the company has been growing by leaps and bounds. Indeed, over the past 25 years, its stock averaged annual gains of 24%. Over the past three years, it averaged annual gains of 40%!

Given all that, you might wonder whether it makes any sense to invest in Amazon now. My answer to that would be...yes. 

Image source: Getty Images.

Here's why: For starters, while the stock has surged over recent years and decades, it has taken a bit of a breather recently and was only up about 5% in 2025.

Also, investors shouldn't focus too much on past results. Instead, focus on where the stock is now, and where it could be in the future based on how the business is doing. Compare its stock price to other measures such as earnings, and to past levels of those measures. For example, Amazon's recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28 is well below its five-year average of 44, suggesting that the stock is undervalued. Its recent price-to-sales ratio of 3.6, meanwhile, is a bit above its five-year average of 3, suggesting that the stock is a bit overvalued. Stock valuation is never precise, as one must take many measures into account, some of them rather subjective and not just comparisons to the past. Still, Amazon's shares seem at least reasonably valued at recent levels.

Before investing, though, you need to consider whether you expect the company to be much bigger in the future, as stock price should follow growth. I think it will be. Not only is it a massive online marketplace, but, perhaps more importantly, it's a leader in cloud computing with its Amazon Web Services (AWS) business, and its advertising division is growing rapidly, too. Best of all, it has multiple competitive advantages, such as its network effect and economies of scale.

1 Top Dividend Stock to Buy With Double-Digit Dividend Growth and an Aggressive Share Repurchase Program stocknewsapi
AXP
The integrated payments company is pairing fast dividend growth with aggressive buybacks. But is the stock still a smart long-term buy after a big run-up?

Dividend investors tend to focus on yield. But the best long-term dividend stocks are often the ones that can keep raising their payouts at a healthy pace, year after year, without stretching their finances.

That is why integrated payments company American Express (AXP +0.97%) stands out right now. The dividend yield is modest (just under 1%). But the company is growing the payout at a double-digit rate and is still spending far more on share repurchases than dividends.

Combine this capital return profile with a low payout ratio and strong earnings growth, and there's a lot to like about the growth stock. But the big question is whether or not the stock is worth its higher valuation after rising 25% last year. Shares aren't nearly as cheap as they were.

Image source: Getty Images.

Room for growth
American Express increased its dividend by 17% last March, reflecting the company's strong underlying business strength. Even with the increase, its dividend yield currently sits at just 0.9%. But investors can take comfort in how well-covered it is. The fact that the company can easily afford its dividend means more big increases are likely in the cards for investors.

Showing how easily it can afford its dividend, American Express's annual dividend payments amount to just 21% of management's expected full-year 2025 earnings per share, which range from $15.20 to $15.50. A payout ratio that low gives management flexibility. It can continue to invest in the business and buy back stock, while still having room to grow the dividend even if business growth slows in the coming years.

Backed by strong business growth
Dividend growth is easiest when earnings are growing. And American Express has been delivering.

Its third-quarter revenue rose 11% year over year to a record $18.4 billion. And net income increased 16% to $2.9 billion. Helped by share repurchases, earnings-per-share growth rose even faster, climbing 19% year over year.

The company's momentum has been particularly strong in recent months.

In its third-quarter earnings release, American Express CEO Stephen Squeri said the company saw spend growth accelerate, and he highlighted that demand for its refreshed U.S. Platinum products exceeded expectations, with new U.S. Platinum account acquisitions doubling versus pre-refresh levels.

Big repurchases
American Express' dividend is nice, but it pales in comparison to the amount of capital the company is returning to shareholders through share repurchases.

In the first nine months of 2025, the company returned $6.1 billion to shareholders, including $4.4 billion of share repurchases and $1.7 billion of dividends. And in the third quarter of 2025 alone, it repurchased 7.3 million shares at an average price of $315.26 -- well below where the stock is trading today.

That pace builds on aggressive repurchases for years. In 2024, American Express returned $7.9 billion to shareholders, with $5.9 billion of that coming from share repurchases (and the remainder from dividends).

American Express stock: Buy, sell, or hold?
But are shares still worth buying at their current valuation?

The stock currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 25. This time last year, its multiple was 21 -- more reasonable for a financial company in the business of lending and providing credit. Still, given the company's recent trends of accelerating spend and a successful refresh of its flagship Platinum card in the U.S., I think American Express will likely grow earnings at a double-digit rate again this year.

In other words, I think American Express is worth its premium valuation -- especially for dividend investors. Given the company's strong earnings momentum and low payout ratio, robust dividend growth is likely to persist for years. And investors who buy shares today get access to strong underlying business momentum.

Of course, if the economy contracts or a crisis arises in the financial industry, shares could take a hit. Additionally, the credit card payment space is intensely competitive, so American Express investors will need to keep an eye on the competitive environment. But, even with these risks, I still think shares look attractive for investors willing to hold for the long haul.

On September 14, 2025, it was reported that the Gallup-McKinley County Schools Board of Education had filed a complaint against the Company, alleging fraud, deceptive trade practices, systemic violations of law, and intentional and tortious misconduct, including inflating enrollment numbers by retaining "ghost students" on rolls to secure state funding per student and ignoring compliance requirements, including background checks and licensure laws for its employees. On this news, the price of Stride's shares fell $18.60 per share, or 11.7%, to close at $139.76 per share on September 15, 2025.

Then, on October 28, 2025, the Company disclosed that "poor customer experience" had resulted in "higher withdrawal rates," "lower conversion rates," and had driven students away, and that the Company estimated the impact caused approximately 10,000-15,000 fewer enrollments and that, because of this, its outlook is "muted" compared to prior years. On this news, the price of Stride's shares fell $83.48 per share, or more than 54%, to close at $70.05 per share on October 29, 2025.

The case is MacMahon v. Stride, Inc., et al., Case No. 25-cv-02019.

JYD Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Jayud Global Logistics Ltd. Securities Fraud Lawsuit stocknewsapi
JYD
, /PRNewswire/ --Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Jayud Global Logistics Ltd. (NASDAQ: JYD) between April 21, 2023 and April 30, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Jayud securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Jayud class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48196 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Jayud was the subject of a fraudulent stock promotion scheme involving social media-based misinformation and impersonated financial professionals; (2) insiders and/or affiliates used offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during a price inflation campaign; (3) Jayud's public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of the false rumors and artificial trading activity driving the stock price; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Jayud's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

To join the Jayud class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48196 orcall Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Sees Price Surge Amid Market Revival cryptonews
SHIB
Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second-largest meme cryptocurrency, experienced a notable price increase at the beginning of the year, with some analysts speculating on a potential significant rise in value. However, other market indicators suggest this upswing might be temporary, possibly leading to another downturn soon.

The digital asset saw an 8% rise in the past 24 hours, positioning its price at approximately $0.000007593, according to CoinGecko. This increase pushed SHIB’s market capitalization to nearly $4.5 billion, ranking it as the 35th largest cryptocurrency.

The broader rebound in meme coins appears to be a major factor contributing to SHIB’s recent price movement. Dogecoin (DOGE), the leading asset in this category, has risen by 10% over the same period. Other meme tokens, such as Bonk (BONK), Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Pump.fun (PUMP), and Pepe (PEPE), have also reported substantial gains.

Additionally, the resurgence of SHIB’s burning mechanism seems to have positively influenced its valuation. The SHIB community and its team have burned close to 200 million tokens in the past week, marking a 533% increase compared to the previous week. This initiative aims to decrease the overall supply, potentially increasing the asset’s value over time. Since the program’s inception in 2022, more than 410.7 trillion coins have been burned, leaving the circulating supply at roughly 585.2 trillion.

Market observer Anup Dhungana highlighted SHIB’s recent price increase on social media platform X, noting that the asset is retesting a significant long-term support level. Historically, such tests in 2021 and 2024 led to substantial price surges.

Despite these gains, some indicators suggest caution. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for SHIB has risen above 70, implying that the price might have increased too quickly, which could lead to a correction. The RSI measures market momentum on a scale of 0 to 100, with readings above 70 typically indicating overbought conditions.

Another factor to consider is SHIB’s recent exchange netflow, which has shown more inflows than outflows over the past week. This pattern could indicate that some investors are preparing for a potential sell-off, as reported by CryptoQuant.

The future of SHIB remains uncertain as market participants continue to monitor these developments. Further data and investor actions will shape the trajectory of this asset in the coming days.
