Crypto Market Volatility
The market showed resilience with modest gains, pushing the total capitalization up about 1.4% to roughly $3.1 trillion. Bitcoin climbed 1.6% to around $89,000, while Ethereum held steady above $3,000 with a 0.5% bump. Cardano led the pack, surging 7% amid broader altcoin strength. However, volatility triggered significant liquidations, totaling around $126 million—down 46% from recent peaks but still hitting 158,000 traders hard, mostly on long positions.
On the political front, looming U.S. government shutdown risks and Fed minutes highlighting liquidity worries added uncertainty. Upcoming crypto regulations, like stablecoin rules and SEC shifts, could bring clarity but spark short-term dips. These factors fueled cautious optimism, boosting inflows into ETFs while amplifying deleveraging fears. Overall, it's a balanced start to 2026—stay vigilant
