SOL hit $144, but network growth drops from 30.2M to 7.3M wallets, raising breakout doubts.

Analysts see short-term bullish signals as 4h EMAs strengthen, hinting at a possible rally.

$145 resistance remains critical; sustained gains need higher network activity and user participation.

Solana surged to $144 this week, inching closer to the critical $145 resistance level. Traders are watching closely, as the token’s next move largely depends on the network’s ability to regain momentum. 

According to Santiment, the count of new wallets per week dropped from 30.2 million in November 2024 to just 7.3 million currently. This is a sign of weak network growth and begs questions of whether SOL can truly break out meaningfully. Notably, Solana's historical price action closely mirrors that of on-chain activity, which is why this metric is an important harbinger for traders and analysts.

Earlier in the market cycle, Solana had a solid rally backed by rapid growth in the network. The number of new addresses and overall activity significantly rose and further reinforced upward price momentum. According to Santiment, this is a "real rally" whereby growth in usage directly supports higher valuations.

However, that trend later reversed. During a corrective phase, network growth slowed sharply, and brief price rebounds failed to hold. Analysts label this period a “fake rally,” reflecting temporary price gains unsupported by network expansion. Currently, network growth continues trending lower, highlighting reduced participation and weaker underlying demand.

Technical Signals Hint at Short-Term Upside

Despite waning network activity, some analysts remain cautiously optimistic. Altcoin Sherpa notes, “$SOL chart looks fantastic and I think this actually continues to lead. The 4h EMAs have looked the healthiest they have since September 2025.” This suggests that Solana may regain technical strength even amid a broader slowdown. 

Additionally, CryptoBull_360 points out that SOL is preparing for a short-term breakout from a triangle resistance zone. Consolidation above the point-of-control area could trigger a brief bullish rally, making it a focal point for traders seeking short-term gains.

Hence, Solana’s path forward hinges on network reactivation. Analysts warn that without renewed wallet creation and increased on-chain activity, price momentum may remain fragile. Moreover, the $145 resistance zone continues to test investor patience.

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + "Moonshots" total $14.0 billion, including 4.168 million ETH tokens, total cash of $988 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine will hold its Annual Stockholder Meeting at the Wynn Las Vegas on January 15, 2026

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 67th most traded stock in the US, trading $1.3 billion per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support Bitmine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + "moonshots" holdings totaling $14.0 billion.

As of January 11th at 7:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 4,167,768 ETH at $3,119 per ETH (Coinbase), 193 Bitcoin (BTC), $23 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash of $988 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 3.45% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"2026 augurs many positive things for crypto with stablecoin adoption and tokenization driving to make blockchain the settlement layer of Wall Street, particularly favoring Ethereum," said Thomas "Tom" Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of Bitmine. "We continue to view the leverage reset post October 10th, 2025 as akin to the 'mini crypto winter.' 2026 is the year crypto prices recover and with stronger gains in 2027-2028."

"In the past week, we acquired 24,266 ETH and still managed to increase our cash position by $73 million," continued Lee. "Bitmine only issues equity selectively and only at a premium to mNAV. We remain the largest 'fresh money' buyer of ETH in the world," stated Mr. Lee. "And when MAVAN launches its commercial operations, we will be the largest staking provider in the entire crypto ecosystem."

Bitmine released a special Chairman's message (link) explaining why Bitmine stockholders should vote to support the amendment to increase authorized shares ahead of the upcoming annual stockholder meeting on January 15, 2026 (the "Annual Meeting").

"Bitmine charter has an unusual feature requiring 50.1% of all shares outstanding to support a share increase. This is an extremely high bar and thus, makes it very difficult to get an authorized share increase. We need to pursue this increase now as Bitmine is soon to exhaust its current 500 million authorization. And when that happens, our ETH accumulation will slow. Thus, we need stockholders to approve proposal #2 to increase authorized shares," said Tom Lee. "Bitmine's sole focus remains creating stockholder value, achieving this by accretively acquiring ETH per share, and has only issued shares at mNAV premium, optimizing yield and income on its ETH holdings, and strategically investing the balance sheet on 'moonshots' and leveraging the company's strong community and market position to generate additional returns."

As of January 11, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 1,256,083 ($3.9 billion at $3,119 per ETH). This is an increase of 596,864 in the past week. This is a fraction of the 4.17 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (composite Ethereum staking rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.81%. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the company moves towards unveiling its commercial MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) in 2026. "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world."

"At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking fee is $374 million annual (using 2.81% CESR), or greater than $1 million per day," stated Tom Lee. "We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN). This will be the 'best-in-class' solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026," continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 672,497 BTC valued at $61 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.3 billion (5-day average, as of January 9, 2026), ranking #67 in the US, behind Vistra (rank #66) and ahead of Cisco (rank #68) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Venezuela’s PDVSA now settles most oil exports in USDT, bypassing dollar banks blocked by U.S. sanctions.

Stablecoins account for an estimated 80% of Venezuela’s oil revenue, reshaping state cash flow under sanctions.

USDT is also widely used by Venezuelans for savings, remittances, and payments amid currency collapse.

Venezuela has turned to Tether’s USDT to keep oil revenue moving under U.S. sanctions. The shift began in 2020 and continues today. According to multiple reports, state oil firm Petróleos de Venezuela, or PDVSA, now settles most crude transactions using USDT instead of dollars through banks blocked by sanctions.

Oil Payments Change From Banks to Stablecoins

According to the Wall Street Journal, PDVSA started accepting USDT after losing access to dollar clearing systems. Buyers send payments directly to wallet addresses or through intermediaries that convert proceeds into Tether. Notably, this structure avoids correspondent banks and reduces exposure to frozen accounts.

Local economist Asdrúbal Oliveros said on a podcast that stablecoins now account for nearly 80% of Venezuela’s oil revenue. This estimate highlights how digital dollars have reshaped state cash flow. However, U.S. sanctions continue to target related activity.

Tether has stated it cooperates with U.S. authorities and freezes sanctioned wallets when required. Since then, several wallets linked to Venezuelan oil trade have been blocked. Nevertheless, USDT remains embedded in export settlements due to limited alternatives.

Maduro Case Brings Fresh Scrutiny

Scrutiny increased after Nicolás Maduro was arrested and detained in Brooklyn, according to reports. Maduro pleaded not guilty to narcotrafficking charges in U.S. federal court. The case renewed attention on financial channels linked to the Venezuelan state.

Adam Zarazinski, CEO of Inca Digital, said stablecoin use will likely persist despite enforcement actions. He noted that inflation and weak institutions sustain demand. However, he also warned these conditions allow sanctions evasion.

Ari Redbord, global policy head at TRM Labs, described stablecoins as dual-use tools. He said they function as civilian lifelines while also enabling restricted financial flows.

USDT’s Role Beyond the Oil Trade

Beyond exports, USDT plays a daily role inside Venezuela’s economy. Citizens use stablecoins for purchases, remittances, and savings. Researchers link adoption to capital controls and distrust in domestic banks.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino cited Venezuela’s currency collapse as a key driver. He said the bolivar lost 99.8% of its value against the dollar over ten years. Earlier efforts, including the oil-backed Petro token launched in 2018, failed due to low trust.

Coinbase may withdraw support for the CLARITY Act if stablecoin rewards face restrictions on crypto platforms.

Stablecoins generated $247M for Coinbase in Q4; banning rewards could hit revenue and platform activity hard.

Banking groups warn stablecoin yields could siphon $6.6T from traditional banks, fueling DeFi vs. banking debate.

US crypto exchange Coinbase has escalated pressure on U.S. lawmakers over the CLARITY Act, warning it may withdraw support if the bill restricts stablecoin rewards. The exchange’s move reflects mounting tension between traditional banking interests and the fast-growing cryptocurrency sector. 

According to Bloomberg, “Coinbase may reconsider its support” for the bill should it limit stablecoin issuers from offering rewards on crypto platforms. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to discuss the issue in a markup session this Thursday, making the debate increasingly urgent.

Coinbase has been clear in its strategy. Besides urging lawmakers to resist restrictions, the platform highlights the revenue potential of stablecoin rewards. In Q4 alone, stablecoins generated nearly $247 million for Coinbase, alongside $154.8 million from blockchain rewards. Circle’s USDC, for instance, allows users to earn around 3.5% yield, a figure that could drive significant platform activity. 

Consequently, a ban on such rewards would materially impact Coinbase and other trading platforms. Moreover, Coinbase has applied for a national trust banking charter, which could legally enable it to continue offering rewards under certain rules.

DeFi Provisions Spark Wider Debate

However, banking groups argue that stablecoin rewards could siphon trillions from the traditional financial system. The Treasury Department estimated in April that widespread stablecoin adoption could draw $6.6 trillion from banks. 

Furthermore, there was an anti-DeFi movement advertising on Fox News, urging the public to corner the senators in legislation related to the ban on DeFi provisions. The fight portrayed a larger conflict between the innovation of crypto and banking regulations.

Besides the financial stakes, political timing adds uncertainty. Analysts warn that the 2026 U.S. midterm elections could slow the CLARITY Act’s progress, possibly delaying passage until 2027 and final implementation until 2029. 

Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, however, maintains optimism, stating the bill can “deliver real results for the American people.” Meanwhile, the crypto community has mobilized, with Stand With Crypto claiming over 135,000 emails sent to senators to protect stablecoin rewards.

Future of Crypto Rewards Hangs in Balance

Therefore, the result of this legislative policy debate is bound to influence the Coinbase business model as well as the DeFi space in its entirety. In addition to this, the policy is also potentially changing the landscape of stablecoin economic incentives as well as the rivalry between the two sectors (crypto services and the banks).

Investors in the industry and users wait with bated breath while deliberations ensue later this Thursday, recognizing that a potential path for all of American crypto policy may be set by the CLARITY Act.

South Korea lifted its 2017 ban, allowing listed firms and professional investors limited crypto access under new FSC rules.

Eligible entities can invest up to 5% of equity in top-20 cryptocurrencies on the country’s five regulated exchanges.

The move aims to boost liquidity and curb capital outflows as South Korea advances broader digital asset laws.

South Korea has moved to reopen crypto markets to corporations after nearly a decade of restrictions. On Sunday, local media reported that the Financial Services Commission finalized new crypto trading guidelines. The decision, disclosed in Seoul, allows listed companies and professional investors to invest under strict limits as part of the government’s 2026 Economic Growth Strategy.

New FSC Rules Define Corporate Crypto Access

According to Seoul Economic Daily, the Financial Services Commission shared the updated guidelines with its crypto working group on Jan. 6. The rules end a ban introduced in 2017, when regulators restricted institutional crypto activity over money laundering concerns. Under the new framework, eligible entities may invest up to 5% of equity capital annually.

Notably, investment options will be limited to the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Trading must occur on South Korea’s five largest regulated exchanges. Approximately 3,500 entities, including listed firms and registered professional investors, qualify once implementation begins.

However, regulators have not finalized whether U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins like Tether’s USDT will qualify. Additionally, exchanges must apply split trading methods and order size limits. These controls aim to reduce volatility as corporate liquidity enters domestic markets.

Market Impact and Industry Response

The guidelines mark the first institutional green light since 2017. Since then, South Korea’s crypto market has relied almost entirely on retail participation. According to reports, capital outflows reached 76 trillion won, or about $52 billion, as traders moved offshore.

By contrast, institutional activity dominates mature markets. Coinbase reported that institutions accounted for over 80% of trading volume in the first half of 2024. Industry participants expect the new access to improve liquidity, although flows may concentrate in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Despite support, some industry officials criticized the 5% cap as overly cautious. They cited the absence of similar limits in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, and the European Union. Critics also warned the rule could restrict digital asset treasury strategies.

Digital Asset Law and Next Steps

The Financial Services Commission plans to release final guidelines by January or February. Corporate trading is expected to begin later this year. Timing will align with the Digital Asset Basic Act, scheduled for introduction in the first quarter.

The legislation aims to formalize stablecoin licensing and support spot crypto ETFs. Separately, the government plans to process 25% of treasury transactions through a CBDC by 2030. These measures form part of South Korea’s broader digital finance strategy.

Crypto market expands by $120B, due to sustained capital inflow and structural strength.

Market consolidates above $3T, a sign of ongoing rotation in preparation for the next growth phase.

Stablecoin balances rise on exchanges, is a signal of capital recycling within the crypto space.

In 2026, Crypto market has added roughly $120 billion in total capitalization. This shows persistent and ongoing inflows. The market is in a consolidation above $3 trillion. This reflects a healthy rotation in preparation for further expansion. Still, sentiment remains cautious but constructive.

Capital Flow and Market Strength

The crypto market opened 2026 with strong participation, pushing total capitalization from about $2.93 trillion to over $3.18 trillion. Therefore this broad-based expansion was not a short-term spike.

Recent pullbacks toward $3.05 trillion is due to rotation of capital. Long upper wicks near the highs reflect profit-taking, due to the absence of panic selling indicates market resilience.

Price is stabilizing above its early-year baseline, showing structural strength. The $3.00–3.05 trillion range now serves as a liquidity magnet, where buyers and sellers position themselves for the next move.

https://twitter.com/Cointelegraph/status/2009830068508311979?s=20

Market consolidation in this zone represents absorption of gains before another leg higher. Sideways movement should not be read as stagnation, but as preparation. Strong hands are defending current levels, which supports renewed growth.

The path toward $3.15–$3.20 trillion remains open if current levels hold. This reflects a market in consolidation, not exhaustion, with capital inflows continuing to support valuations.

Sentiment Analysis and Psychological Trends

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index provides insight into market psychology across cycles. Historically, extreme fear aligns with macro bottoms, after prolonged greed phases.

This divergence indicates a maturing market that shakes out weak hands and prevents short-term euphoria. Entering 2026, the index has cooled sharply despite elevated prices. 

Holding price levels amid declining sentiment reflects cautious optimism. Traders remain reactive and headline-driven rather than driven by excessive enthusiasm.

Such sentiment behavior allows trends to persist longer. Extreme fear has previously marked buying opportunities, while sustained greed supports ongoing trends.

Market observers note that the current psychological environment favors continued accumulation without emotional excess, reinforcing the foundation for future growth.

Stablecoins and Capital Recycling

The Stablecoin to Bitcoin exchange balance chart shows latent buying power and market readiness. Rising stablecoin holdings indicate capital waiting on exchanges rather than leaving the market.

During prior cycles, increases in stablecoin balances coincided with major inflection points. For instance, in late 2022, a spike preceded Bitcoin’s macro bottom,and fueled subsequent advances in 2023–2024.

From 2024 into 2025, the ratio declined gradually as capital rotated into BTC exposure. This pattern reflected structured accumulation and healthy bull-market behavior.

Heading into 2026, stablecoin balances are rising again while Bitcoin remains elevated. This signals that profits are being realized into stablecoins, with funds staying within the ecosystem for redeployment.

Market participants are effectively recycling capital rather than exiting. Such dynamics historically appear in mid-cycle consolidations, suggesting readiness for the next growth phase.

Tokenized equities market cap surged from $16M to $800M, reflecting rapid structural adoption across blockchain finance.

Demand is driven by 24/7 trading, faster settlement, and access for global investors facing market restrictions.

Platforms like Backed Finance and Kraken support growth through regulated custody and real stock backing.

Tokenized equities have crossed a major threshold, reaching an estimated $800 million market capitalization in early 2026. The growth reflects rising adoption of blockchain-based stock exposure, combining traditional equity trust with crypto-native efficiency.

Market Expansion Signals Structural Adoption

Tokenized equities now represent a fast-growing segment within real-world assets on blockchain networks. Market data shows capitalization rising nearly thirtyfold within one year, moving beyond early experimentation. 

The growth curve reflects sustained participation rather than short-term speculative inflows.Trading activity increased alongside market value, supporting evidence of consistent user engagement. 

https://twitter.com/CryptoPatel/status/2009860252347601386?s=20

Active addresses and transfer volumes expanded during the same period, indicating functional use across platforms. Observers on social media noted the synchronized rise in liquidity and participation.

The September to October inflection marked a shift where issuers and users aligned. Tokenized equities gained traction as infrastructure matured and regulatory pathways clarified. The market moved from niche exposure toward broader financial relevance.

How Tokenized Equities Function in Practice

Tokenized equities are issued by regulated providers that acquire real company shares. These shares are secured with custodians, while equivalent blockchain tokens are minted. 

Each token reflects the price of its underlying stock through live data feeds. Holders store tokens in digital wallets and trade them continuously on supported platforms. 

Settlement occurs almost instantly, compared with traditional market timelines. Some issuers allow redemption for underlying shares, subject to jurisdictional rules.

Platforms such as Backed Finance and Ondo Global Markets support this structure. Their systems address corporate actions, custody, and compliance requirements.

Institutional Participation and Market Direction

Institutional platforms have expanded tokenized equities offerings during 2025. Crypto exchanges like Kraken and Bybit introduced tokenized stock products, increasing market visibility. 

These offerings attracted users seeking regulated equity exposure within crypto ecosystems. Traditional financial firms also entered the space through regional initiatives. 

Robinhood launched tokenized equity access for European clients seeking U.S. stock exposure. Coinbase explored integrations that connect blockchain settlement with familiar investment products.

Despite rapid growth, tokenized equities remain a small share of global equity markets. Analysts cited this gap as room for expansion rather than saturation. Ongoing participation suggests steady integration into mainstream financial infrastructure.

Die SUI-Preisanalyse positioniert den Token an einem technischen Entscheidungspunkt, da Erholungsmomentum auf etablierten Widerstand trifft. Gleichzeitig zeigt Solana relative Stärke, während das 92.000-USD-Niveau von Bitcoin die dominierende Marktreferenz bleibt.

SYRUP trades near critical resistance after rebounding from long-term channel support on the daily chart.

Short-term structure remains bullish, though momentum indicators show cooling near psychological resistance.

Traders monitor 0.4016 for breakout confirmation or rejection-driven pullback scenarios.

SYRUP price analysis centers on a decisive technical zone as price approaches long-standing resistance. Market structure suggests recovery potential, while mixed momentum signals keep traders focused on confirmation rather than anticipation.

Daily Chart Structure Signals a Decision Zone

The SYRUP/USDT daily chart shows a prolonged descending channel that shaped price action for several months. Price respected both trendlines, reflecting controlled selling pressure rather than disorderly liquidation across the structure.

According to commentary shared by ZAYK Charts on X, price rebounded sharply from the 0.24–0.26 support region. That move formed a higher low, suggesting diminishing seller strength near the lower channel boundary.

https://twitter.com/ZAYKCharts/status/2009496614134808880?s=20

Price now trades near the upper descending trendline around 0.39–0.40. This area represents a pivotal test, where rejection may sustain the broader downtrend, while a daily close above could signal reversal confirmation.

Resistance Levels and Measured Upside Scenarios

The 0.4016 level marks the high of the most recent swing and acts as immediate resistance. Several reactions near this zone indicate cautious positioning and potential liquidity-driven volatility.

A confirmed breakout above 0.4016, supported by volume expansion, may open a path toward 0.4575. Further continuation could extend toward 0.5049, aligning with prior resistance clusters on higher timeframes.

ZAYK Charts noted that a clean channel breakout often precedes momentum expansion. The projected measured move targets the 0.65–0.70 region, contingent on sustained bullish follow-through.

Intraday Momentum Shows Consolidation, Not Breakdown

On the 45-minute chart, SYRUP transitioned from impulsive upside into sideways consolidation beneath 0.40. Multiple rejections at this psychological level point to profit-taking rather than aggressive distribution.

Short-term structure continues to print higher highs and higher lows, preserving a bullish intraday bias. Momentum indicators, including MACD, show cooling conditions instead of trend reversal signals.

RSI near 51 reflects a healthy reset from overbought territory. Volume contraction during pullbacks suggests limited selling interest, with buyers likely defending the 0.38–0.385 support zone.

Support Zones Define Risk Management Framework

Immediate support sits near 0.3497, a level closely watched for potential reactions. A failure to hold may expose a deeper move toward 0.3109, the prior swing low.

A bullish imbalance zone around 0.31 previously attracted strong demand. Traders often monitor this area for liquidity sweeps followed by reversal patterns on lower timeframes.

Market participants remain cautious near recent highs, where manipulation risks increase. Confirmation through candle structure and closure remains essential before directional bias becomes firmly established.

BitMine bewegt heute 266 Mio. USD an ETH, was große Staking-Aktivitäten, nicht Marktausgänge, unterstreicht.

Vorsitzender Tom Lee prognostiziert für ETH einen Wert zwischen 7.000 USD und 9.000 USD Anfang 2026, mit einem langfristigen Potenzial bis zu 20.000 USD.

Analyst Snyder warnt vor schwachen Wochenend-Pumps; Händler sollten Liquidity-Auslöser sorgfältig beobachten.

BitMine hat eine massive Bewegung im Ethereum-Bereich unternommen und in den letzten drei Wochen 3,3 Milliarden USD in ETH gestaked. Das Unternehmen überwies allein heute 266,3 Millionen USD an ETH, die an den BatchDeposit-Vertrag zur Staking-Zwecken weitergeleitet wurden.

Analyst Ted zeigt kürzliche Abflüsse von ETH aus BitMine-verknüpften Wallets, die eine strategische Zuweisung statt Marktausgänge verdeutlichen. Vier große Übertragungen fanden vor etwa 11 Stunden statt, wobei jeder Betrag zwischen 19.000 und 23.000 ETH lag und einzeln zwischen 59 Millionen und 71 Millionen USD wert war. Insgesamt betragen diese Bewegungen mehr als 86.000 ETH.

Die Unterstützung bei 87.200 US-Dollar für Bitcoin definiert die aktuelle Marktstruktur und die kurzfristige Richtungsbias für Preisstabilität.

Ein täglicher Schluss unter 87.200 US-Dollar könnte Liquidität in Richtung 80.600 US-Dollar und tiefere historische Nachfragezonen freisetzen.

Stablecoins can cut costs and speed cross-border payments, boosting financial inclusion in underserved regions.

Currency substitution and market volatility remain major risks, requiring strong international regulatory coordination.

Collaboration between banks, regulators, and policymakers is crucial to safely harness stablecoins’ global potential.

Stablecoins are gaining influence in global finance, creating both opportunities and risks, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said. With a market capitalization of about 10 percent of Bitcoin, these digital assets are increasingly linked to mainstream financial markets. 

As explained by the IMF, stablecoins can make cross-border payments faster, lower in cost, and more inclusive. But concerns are being raised regarding the impact of growing stablecoins on currency substitution, capital flow volatility, and financial integrity. Experts at the IMF are now calling for regulatory action towards using stablecoins for the benefit of global finance in a safe and sound way.

Apart from minimizing transaction costs, stablecoins can also make cross-border money transfers easier by making correspondent banking chains shorter. This is because current cross-border money transfers involve several banks, different time zones, and large transaction costs. 

Remittance transfers, for example, charge up to 20 percent of the amount sent. This problem would be solved with stablecoins, which are collateralized with liquid instruments such as U.S. treasury bonds and are pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Moreover, Asia leads global trading volumes, while Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East show the highest usage relative to GDP. Consequently, stablecoins are positioning themselves as a key tool for financial inclusion and innovation.

Opportunities and Use Cases

Today, most stablecoins facilitate cryptocurrency trading, acting as a bridge to conventional currencies. Additionally, they could foster retail digital payments where banks are less active. By promoting competition with traditional payment providers, stablecoins could lower costs and diversify products. 

Many developing countries are already leapfrogging conventional banking, leveraging mobile phones and tokenized digital money. Hence, stablecoins could enhance financial access and encourage innovative services across the globe.

Risks and International Challenges

However, stablecoins carry significant risks. Their value can fluctuate if reserves lose worth or users lose confidence, potentially causing market instability. Currency substitution may reduce a central bank’s ability to manage monetary policy, particularly in emerging economies. Furthermore, pseudonymous transactions make stablecoins attractive for illicit purposes like money laundering.

Despite this, there still seem to be inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks, which create arbitrage opportunities for issuers to set up shops in regions with light oversight. It is on this basis that the IMF has called for international collaboration in this endeavor through the Financial Stability Board and BIS to improve oversight and fill the gaps in data.

Stablecoins have come to stay, but the level of adoption in the future remains in question. Some of the providers could carve out a place for themselves as the global leader, while conventional banks could also look at creating digital currencies. Improvement of the payment infrastructure could be the cheapest option.

As IMF experts conclude, “Turning stablecoins into a force for good in the global financial system will require concerted actions by policymakers.”

EnigmaValidator hält 2,47 Mio. HYPE, kämpft aber weiterhin darum, zu den Top-Validatoren zu gehören, unter intensiver Konkurrenz.

Der Preis für $HYPE liegt wahrscheinlich zwischen 20 $ und 30 $ im Januar; aggressive Ziele über 34 $ bleiben unwahrscheinlich.

Die Unterstützung durch Delegatoren und die bevorstehenden Eintritte auf CEXs werden die Platzierungen der Hyperliquid-Validatoren stark beeinflussen.

Das Validatorekosystem von Hyperliquid wird heißer, da sich die Konkurrenz unter den Top-Kandidaten verschärft. Derzeit hält EnigmaValidator 2.470.418 HYPE-Token, hat aber immer noch keinen Platz im Validatoren-Set gesichert. Die Hyperliquid Foundation hat kürzlich 1.004.000 HYPE-Token von Meria_Finance neu delegiert, doch diese Maßnahme hat die Platzierungen nicht signifikant verändert.
