SOL a atins $144, dar creșterea rețelei scade de la 30,2M la 7,3M de portofeluri, ridicând îndoielile despre posibilitatea unui breakthrough.

Analiticienii observă semne bullish pe termen scurt, deoarece EMAs de 4h se întăresc, sugerând o posibilă creștere.

Rezistența de $145 rămâne critică; creșterile sustenabile necesită o activitate mai mare a rețelei și o participare mai mare a utilizatorilor.

Solana a crescut la $144 săptămâna aceasta, așezându-se mai aproape de nivelul critic de rezistență de $145. Tradersii urmăresc cu atenție, deoarece următoarea mișcare a tokenului depinde în mare măsură de capacitatea rețelei de a recâștiga impulsul. 

Potrivit Santiment, numărul de portofeluri noi pe săptămână a scăzut de la 30,2 milioane în noiembrie 2024 la doar 7,3 milioane în prezent. Aceasta este o semnătură a unei creșteri slabe a rețelei și ridică întrebări privind posibilitatea ca SOL să poată ieși în mod semnificativ. Remarcabil este faptul că evoluția istorică a prețului Solanei se aseamănă îndeaproape cu cea a activității pe lanț, motiv pentru care acest indicator este un semn important pentru traderi și analiști.

Russell 2000 a depășit pragul de 2.600, semnalând o revenire a lichidității și a încrederii investitorilor în risc, determinată de măsurile fiscale și de acțiunile Fed-ului.

Cumpărările de obligațiuni de la Trezorerie, achizițiile de obligațiuni ipotecare și eliberările din TGA injectează lichidități pe piețele financiare din Statele Unite.

Cripto rămâne într-un trend descendente, dar reglementările viitoare și creșterea încrederii în risc ar putea susține un rebound viitor.

Indicele Russell 2000 a depășit pentru prima dată în istorie nivelul de 2.600 săptămâna aceasta pe piețele din Statele Unite. Potrivit Teoriei Bitbull, această mișcare arată o creștere a lichidității și o revenire a încrederii în risc. Depășirea nivelului a avut loc în contextul unor măsuri de politică, acțiuni fiscale și fluxuri de trezorerie care au adăugat lichidități în sistemele financiare.

Crypto YouTube views dropped sharply, showing that many small investors are losing interest in the market.

Scams and weak profits pushed people toward safer options like gold and other traditional investments.

Bitcoin mood is slowly improving, but prices must stay near $90,000 to keep investors confident.

Crypto content consumption has fallen sharply, raising worries about everyday investor interest. Over the past three months, crypto YouTube viewership dropped to its lowest level since January 2021.

Recent data from Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into The Cryptoverse, shows a clear drop in 30-day average views across major crypto channels. He stressed that the slowdown extends beyond algorithm changes. “Here is a 30 day moving average of views to a lot of different crypto youtube channels,” Cowen said. “So it's not just X and an algorithm change. Viewership to crypto has been dropping across platforms.”

Market Cycles Drive Audience Attention

The chart Cowen shared tracks crypto YouTube views alongside Bitcoin’s price history. From 2019 through early 2020, both metrics stayed relatively muted. However, late 2020 triggered a dramatic shift. Bitcoin entered a strong bull cycle, and YouTube views surged aggressively. Consequently, retail interest peaked during Bitcoin’s 2021 all-time highs.

But after that high, interest sharply decreased. YouTube views of cryptocurrencies decreased in 2022 along with the decline of Bitcoin. It stabilized at lower levels but did not reach zero. Views have gradually increased since 2023. Aside from that, it didn't attain general popularity; instead, it came in spurts.

YouTube creator Jesus Martinez reinforced this trend. He said, “I’ve experienced some intense peaks, but nothing ever came close to the few videos I created in the peak of 2021.”

Retail Fatigue and Capital Rotation

Besides market cycles, commentators cite deeper structural issues. TikTok creator “Cloud9 Markets” blamed rampant scams and speculative schemes. “Retail is tired of getting rekt,” they said. Hence, many investors now seek safer alternatives.

Marc Shawn Brown, Cointelegraph’s head of social media, echoed that shift. “They’ve likely pivoted into precious metals/macro,” he observed. “People want returns, not stories of when returns could come.” Moreover, Brown highlighted weak crypto performance. “2025 was hard. -7% return for BTC and palladium, rhodium, cobalt, silver, and gold all outperformed,” he said.

Social Sentiment Shows Early Stabilization

However, sentiment data offers cautious optimism. Santiment noted improving Bitcoin sentiment. It said positivity shows “mild signs of reversing.” Additionally, the platform emphasized that $90,000 remains critical for retail confidence. Meanwhile, Ether sentiment “appears to be scattered, and not showing any consistent trends as of now.”

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.

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.

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 moves $266M ETH today, highlighting large-scale staking, not market exits.

Chairman Tom Lee projects ETH $7K–$9K early 2026, long-term potential up to $20K.

Analyst Snyder warns of weak weekend pumps; traders should watch liquidity triggers carefully.

BitMine has made a massive move in Ethereum, staking $3.3 billion over the past three weeks. The company transferred $266.3 million in ETH today alone, directing it to the BatchDeposit contract used for staking. 

Analyst Ted shows recent ETH outflows from BitMine-linked wallets, which highlight strategic allocation rather than market exits. Four major transfers occurred approximately 11 hours ago, each ranging between 19,000 and 23,000 ETH, worth $59 million to $71 million individually. Collectively, these moves total over 86,000 ETH. 

Additionally, similar activity three days prior included multiple transfers from 17,000 to 28,000 ETH, indicating consistent staking and internal redistribution. Consequently, these patterns reveal BitMine’s methodical approach to staking and network participation.

BitMine’s Asset Position and Market Impact

As of December 29, BitMine held 4.11 million Ethereum, 192 Bitcoins, and $23 million in Eightco assets, amounting to total crypto and cash holdings of nearly $13.2 billion. Over $1 billion of this remains in cash, giving the company liquidity to navigate market movements. 

Tom Lee, BitMine’s chairman, emphasized that year-end tax-loss selling temporarily depresses crypto prices. “We continue to be the largest ‘fresh money’ buyer of ETH in the world,” Lee stated. 

Moreover, Lee projected bullish long-term growth for Ethereum, estimating a potential $7,000 to $9,000 range in early 2026 and a possible $20,000 as Ethereum expands into tokenization and payment adoption.

Ethereum Trading Insights

Meanwhile, analyst Lennaert Snyder outlined short-term trading strategies for ETH. Snyder expects weak weekend pumps and highlighted the $2,970 monthly open as a key resistance level. He advised waiting for liquidity triggers before executing trades, emphasizing caution in low-liquidity conditions. “No trigger, no trade,” Snyder noted. Hence, traders must monitor market structure closely next week to capture potential opportunities while avoiding unnecessary risk.

BitMine's aggressive staking strategy shows confidence in the long-term growth of Ethereum, while analysts warn of short-term volatility. In addition, this consolidation of large ETH holders into staking contracts might affect network dynamics and liquidity.

Bitcoin $87,200 support defines current market structure and short-term directional bias for price action stability.

A daily close below $87,200 may expose liquidity toward $80,600 and deeper historical demand zones.

Whale positioning on Bitfinex suggests leverage reduction while price stability remains intact.

Bitcoin's $87,200 support has emerged as a decisive technical level. Market structure, resistance zones, and leverage dynamics now guide expectations for near-term direction.

Structural Support Defines Market Balance

A recent post by Ali Charts described $87,200 as a line separating stability from acceleration lower. The level reflects higher lows, signaling buyers continue absorbing sell pressure.

As long as Bitcoin trades above this area, consolidation remains constructive rather than corrective. Market participants view this behavior as compression rather than exhaustion.

https://twitter.com/alicharts/status/2009398711437209782?s=20

A daily close below the level would shift market structure. Such a move would confirm trendline failure and invite momentum-driven selling.

Once broken, liquidity appears sparse until the $80,600 region. Below that zone, historical demand rests between $72,935 and $69,230.

This downside path reflects prior accumulation areas rather than arbitrary targets. Price often revisits such zones during broader corrective phases.

Resistance Zones Frame Upside Potential

While support holds, resistance remains defined between $92,700 and $96,800. This band previously acted as a base earlier in the cycle.

Ali Charts noted that markets frequently retest former support zones after breakdowns. These areas often determine whether recovery or rejection follows.

A push into this region could be driven by short covering and sidelined liquidity. Such moves typically occur during compressed trading ranges.

https://twitter.com/TedPillows/status/2009278211226534375?s=20

If momentum builds, price could extend toward the $98,000 to $100,000 psychological range. Profit-taking historically intensifies near such round levels.

Rejection near these highs would still fit a corrective structure. A subsequent loss of $87,200 would then confirm a lower high pattern.

This sequence would align with broader consolidation rather than immediate trend reversal. Price behavior near resistance remains central to near-term bias.

Whale Positioning Signals Absorption

Another observation shared by Ali Charts focuses on Bitfinex whale behavior. Large traders have begun reducing leveraged long positions.

Historically, similar reductions followed extended accumulation phases. In prior cycles, these shifts preceded upside expansions rather than declines.

The reasoning centers on leverage management. Whales often de-risk during strength while maintaining spot exposure.

https://twitter.com/cryptorover/status/2009576507681943693?s=20

Current data shows longs declining while Bitcoin price remains stable. This divergence suggests selling pressure is being absorbed efficiently.

Such absorption reduces overcrowded positioning and stabilizes funding conditions. This environment often supports spot-led advances.

If historical patterns repeat, comparable percentage gains could target the upper $90,000 range. Price stability during leverage reduction remains notable.

Bitcoin $87,200 support therefore stands at the center of technical structure, resistance testing, and positioning dynamics. Market direction depends on its preservation.

Tether registered the Hadron trademark in Russia, securing exclusive rights for blockchain financial services through 2035.

Hadron supports tokenization of stocks, bonds, and other assets, expanding Tether’s asset tokenization strategy.

The approval aligns with Russia’s planned crypto regulation changes expected in the first half of 2026.

Tether has registered a trademark in Russia for its asset tokenization platform, Hadron, according to RIA Novosti. The filing received approval from Rospatent in January 2026. Tether is seeking trademark protection for blockchain-based financial services tied to Hadron.

Trademark Filing and Approved Scope

According to RIA Novosti, Tether filed the Hadron trademark application with Russia’s patent office in October 2025. Rospatent approved the request in January 2026. As a result, Tether holds exclusive rights to the trademark until October 3, 2035.

The trademark features a distorted hexagon with three smaller hexagons inside. Notably, the registration allows use across several blockchain-related financial services. These include cryptocurrency trading, exchange services, transfers, and payment processing.

In addition, the trademark covers financial information and advisory services related to cryptocurrencies. It also applies to blockchain-based financial operations conducted within Russia. This protection grants Tether legal control over Hadron branding in the Russian market.

Hadron Launch and Tether’s Stablecoin Business

Tether launched the Hadron platform in November 2024. The platform enables tokenization of assets such as stocks, bonds, and rewards points. According to RIA Novosti, Hadron supports a wide range of real-world asset conversions.

Tether Limited issues multiple stablecoins pegged to real-world assets. These include tokens linked to the U.S. dollar, the euro, and gold. However, USDT remains the company’s largest product.

As of January 2026, USDT held an estimated market capitalization of about $187 billion. It ranked third among all crypto assets globally. Within the stablecoin category, USDT maintained the largest market share.

Registration Timing and Russian Regulation

The trademark registration comes as Russia prepares broader cryptocurrency regulation. According to previous disclosures, lawmakers aim to adopt new rules in the first half of 2026. These changes follow a gradual policy shift during 2025.

Earlier steps included proposals from the Central Bank of Russia. In March, it suggested an experimental regime for cross-border crypto payments. Later, it allowed crypto derivatives for qualified investors.

By December, the central bank outlined plans to recognize cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as monetary assets. Notably, these regulatory developments align with Tether’s trademark approval timeline.
