Despite the drop in XRP, investors made record purchases in four months.
XRP lost 12% in just one week, going down sharply after peaking on January 6. But something unusual is happening under the sales wave. Determined buyers are increasing their assets at a rate not seen since September 7. The fourth most valuable crypto asset in the market was withdrawn to $2.06 after rising to $2.38 in the first days of the month. However, the bottom purchases of long-term investors or rather determined buyers have intensified. This is seen in the HODLer net position change, a metric that tracks whether long-term wallets increase or decrease their coin balances. When the value is positive, the owners accumulate. When it's negative, they sell. The strongest accumulation does not come from large whale groups, but from determined owners. The HODLer net position change shows that wallets added about 62 million XRP on January 9, followed by almost four times that amount over the next two days. On January 10 and 11, although the price continued to fall, holders bought about 239 million XRP and 243 million XRP. This was the strongest two-day bottom buying series since September 7. In contrast, whales continue to act cautiously. Only smaller whales holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP showed mobility. Their total balance increased from 3.52 billion XRP to 3.53 billion XRP, which corresponds to an increase of about 10 million XRP. This is not a large-scale accumulation. A targeted, defensive purchase. As smaller whales approach important levels, larger players are still waiting. This imbalance explains why XRP is struggling to achieve a strong recovery despite finding support. $XRP #

To take a closer look at XAGx Silver Token, it is also necessary to examine its working logic. 1 XAGx Silver Token is created to be equivalent to 1 ounce of silver. Every 1 XAGx Silver Token produced has a physical silver equivalent of 0.999 purity, and these physical silvers are obtained from well-known ingot traders. XAGx Silver Token advances the entire process in a balanced way with the power it receives from smart contracts. It is essential to maintain the supply and demand balance in XAGx Silver Token. For this reason, 250,000 tokens have been minted. Of course, it is necessary to underline that the token supply can be increased or decreased in order to maintain the supply-demand balance with physical silver. The entire mint process is carried out through a smart contract. Thanks to periodic controls, the supply and demand balance is equalized to 250,000 pieces. The protection of silver price is realized thanks to the establishment of the supply and demand balance. At the point where the supply and demand balance needs to be re-established, XAGx Silver Token is burned thanks to the smart contract. As a result of this process, tokens are permanently destroyed. This means that the tokens will come out of circulation. The other process to protect the supply and demand balance is to mint new tokens with smart contracts. When a new token is put into circulation, additional silver is allocated to banks or safes. So the maximum supply is unlimited. The current price of XAGx Silver Token is determined by the global USD open market price per ounce of silver. The stability of the price is based on the balanced relationship between the current prices in the silver market and the supply of XAGx Silver Token. Who is the Founder of XAGx Silver Token? XAGx Silver Token was created by NEOMO Technologies and Trading LLC, a Georgia-based technology company. Focusing on developing innovative financial solutions and operating in the field of trade, NEOMO has combined its expertise in the field of technology with trade activities.

Electric vehicle charging company Blink Charging (BLNK) has launched crypto payments at selected US fast charging stations. The company announced that it has launched the first stage application, which allows some US drivers to pay using cryptocurrencies at Blink's DC fast charging stations. The feature currently supports USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin whose value is fixed to dollar. Drivers will be able to use USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and Base networks. Cryptocurrency payments are currently active at selected Blink DC fast charging stations, and the company plans to spread this feature to other Blink-owned stations throughout 2026. The first stations include 1680 Main Street, Chipley and 145 SE Bandit Street, Madison in Florida. This move expands payment options for electric vehicle drivers. Harmeet Singh, the company's Director of Technology, said, "Blink's goal is to make electric vehicle charging seamless and convenient for all drivers. By introducing cryptocurrency payments, we adopt innovations that are compatible with Blink and the developing digital economy," he said. Singh said they want to offer customers "more options for an easier charging experience". Blink, referring to a survey by Motley Fool, stated that half of the adults who participated in the survey could consider using stablecoins in their daily purchases. According to the company, this rate increased to 71% among generation Z participants and 60% among Generation Y. $USDC $BTC $ETH
On January 8, 2026, the Electric Coin Company (ECC), the core development team behind Zcash, announced its collective resignation. This move is considered highly unusual in the blockchain industry and could have significant implications for a major privacy-focused cryptocurrency like Zcash. 🧠 Reason Behind the Resignation According to ECC CEO Josh Swihart, the resignation stemmed from serious governance disputes with Bootstrap (ZCAM), the organization responsible for funding and support within the Zcash ecosystem. Swihart stated that decisions made by the Bootstrap board diverged from Zcash’s original vision and development roadmap, ultimately making it unsustainable for the development team to continue operating under the existing structure. As a result, the ECC team decided to leave the organization and establish a new company while maintaining the same core vision and principles behind Zcash. 🔄 Impact on the Protocol Despite the resignations, it was emphasized that the Zcash protocol itself remains unaffected and continues to operate normally. Since Zcash is open-source, development can still proceed through the broader community and independent contributors. 📉 Market Reaction Following the announcement, ZEC experienced a price decline of up to 7%, reflecting investor concerns over governance uncertainty and the future direction of the project. 🧩 What This Means for Zcash Many analysts believe this event could have long-term implications for Zcash’s governance structure and development strategy. Key questions now focus on: How the newly formed company will contribute to Zcash’s futureWhether alignment between developers and funding bodies can be restoredHow the community will respond to this structural shift Summary The entire ECC development team has stepped down due to governance disagreements and plans to continue its mission through a newly formed company. While the network remains technically stable, the situation introduces short-term uncertainty for both investors and the broader Zcash ecosystem. #zcash #zec #Binance {spot}(ZECUSDT)
🌍 The era of buying property with cryptocurrency in Dubai has arrived, making real estate investment easier and more accessible for global investors. With Dubai's forward-thinking approach and blockchain-powered transactions, purchasing real estate with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and XRP is now seamless and secure.
The 10,000 bitcoins that software developer Laszlo Hanyecz paid for two Papa John's pizzas, which he ordered to his home in Florida on May 22, 2010, was worth about $41 at the time. Today, with bitcoin reaching record levels, the value of these bitcoins has reached 1.1 billion dollars.
Ripple's payment token XRP was described as the "new favorite crypto" by CNBC after gaining about 20% in value in the first week of the new year. Brian Sullivan, host of CNBC's Power Lunch program, said yesterday, “The most popular crypto trade of the year is not Bitcoin or Ethereum, but XRP.” XRP has gained about 20% since January 1, surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum, which has risen by 4%, and Ethereum, which has risen by 6% in the same period. So why? According to experts, there may be many more factors that raise the price of the token. The momentum of exchange-traded funds, social sensitivity, on-chain key indicators, and recent partnerships may explain why XRP is currently outperforming its competitors. Analysts state that ETF entries and social media sentiment have historically been volatile and do not guarantee sustainable price growth. Previous XRP rallies, triggered by narrative momentum, were often cooled when inflows slowed down or general market conditions changed. While in-chain metrics, such as falling stock market balances, may quickly reverse during periods of increased volatility, regulatory and macroeconomic developments remain significant external risks that could affect price movements despite the strong performance at the beginning of the year. XRP ETF momentum continues its strong course CNBC presenter Mackenzie Sigalos said, "During the period in the 4th quarter, many people turned to XRP ETFs. This is the opposite of what happens in spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, where people move parallel to the coin price," he said. According to Coinglass, four spot XRP ETFs have seen nearly $100 million in entries since the beginning of the year, and the highest entry in more than five weeks was achieved on Monday. Total inflows have now reached $1.15 billion, and there hasn't been a day of exit yet. Upward-prone social awareness and on-chain activity Social sensitivity for XRP also supports the uptrend. Using artificial intelligence to analyze crypto social media accounts, Market Prophit reports that both mass sentiment and "smart money sensitivity" are on an upward trend. According to CryptoQuant, XRP exchange reserves on Binance are also at the lowest level in two years. High stock market balances often mean that investors are preparing to sell the asset. According to XRPscan, there was also an increase in network activity and transactions, and an increase of over 50% in the last two weeks. Ripple makes more moves in Japan On the other hand, Ripple Labs also comes to the fore with various partnerships. The company has partnered with major Japanese financial institutions such as Mizuho Bank, SMBC Nikko and Securitize Japan to increase the adoption of XRP Ledger in Japan. In December, Ripple received conditional approval from the U.S. Office of Currency Supervision to establish the Ripple National Trust Bank. $XRP #Xrp🔥🔥
What Is CPI (Consumer Price Index)? Its Deep Impact on Crypto Markets, Risks, and Hidden Downsides
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is one of the most fundamental indicators used to measure inflation in an economy. It tracks price changes in a basket of goods and services that households regularly consume, including food, energy, housing, healthcare, transportation, and education. For this reason, CPI reflects not only macroeconomic conditions but also changes in purchasing power and the cost of living. U.S. CPI data holds particular importance for global financial markets. The U.S. dollar’s role as the world’s primary reserve currency and the Federal Reserve’s influence on global liquidity make CPI a critical signal for investors worldwide. CPI readings strongly shape expectations around whether the Federal Reserve will raise, hold, or eventually cut interest rates.
The CPI – Interest Rates – Liquidity Chain When CPI remains elevated, inflation is perceived as persistent. This increases the likelihood of tighter monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. Higher interest rates reduce liquidity across financial markets, and in low-liquidity environments, risk assets such as cryptocurrencies typically come under pressure. Investors tend to shift capital toward safer, yield-bearing instruments. When CPI prints above expectations, crypto markets often experience: •Sudden selling pressure in Bitcoin and major altcoins •Rapid liquidations of leveraged long positions •Sharp increases in volatility •A quick deterioration in market sentiment On the other hand, CPI data that comes in below expectations can fuel optimism around future rate cuts. This improves liquidity expectations and may trigger fast upside reactions in crypto markets. However, these moves are often short-lived reactions rather than the beginning of sustainable trends.
CPI-Driven Volatility in Crypto Markets Compared to traditional markets, crypto markets operate with thinner liquidity and significantly higher leverage. This structure amplifies the impact of macroeconomic data such as CPI. Before and immediately after the data release, order books often thin out, allowing relatively small trades to cause outsized price movements. Retail traders attempting to predict short term direction are often the most exposed. The sharp wicks seen during CPI releases can easily trigger stop loss orders and force positions to close unexpectedly. Even when the directional bias is correct, poor timing and market structure can still result in losses.
The Hidden Costs of CPI-Focused Trading The damage caused by CPI driven moves goes beyond simple price declines. First, an excessive focus on CPI encourages a reactive, headline driven trading mentality. Long term fundamentals and project specific developments are pushed aside in favor of short term macro speculation. Second, repeated exposure to violent price swings takes a toll on investor psychology. Quick gains during CPI events can promote excessive risk taking, while sudden losses often lead to panic selling or complete disengagement from the market. This cycle is particularly harmful to inexperienced participants. Third, CPI-induced price action disrupts the natural price discovery process. Instead of healthy, organic trends, markets experience abrupt spikes and sharp reversals tied to news events. Over time, this undermines market stability and erodes investor confidence.
How CPI Should Be Interpreted CPI is not a standalone buy or sell signal. Monthly readings, core inflation data, expectation gaps, and Federal Reserve communication must be evaluated together. Moreover, CPI’s market impact is often short term, while long term direction is determined by broader liquidity conditions and macroeconomic cycles. Properly interpreting CPI means managing risk rather than reacting impulsively. In many cases, avoiding trading during data releases can be the most rational strategy.
Conclusion CPI exerts a powerful but double edged influence on crypto markets. While it can create short term opportunities under the right conditions, it can also cause significant damage when approached without a clear strategy. CPI should not be treated as a directional trigger, but rather as a macro signal that helps contextualize market conditions. Sustainable success in crypto markets comes not from reacting to data, but from understanding where that data fits within the broader economic framework. #CPIWatch #WriteToEarnUpgrade
XRP has reached its highest level since November...🚀🚀
XRP captured a strong bullish momentum, leading the broad recovery in the crypto market in the first week of 2026. According to CoinMarketCap data, the fourth most valuable asset in the market rose to $2.3 with an increase of 9% in the last 24 hours, reaching the highest level since November 13. According to analysts, this strong rise of XRP is supported by a mixture of technical and fundamental factors.
BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael Lucas said, “We've recently seen a break from the falling wedge pattern, and the price is above the 50-day moving average, the classic indicator of positive momentum. In addition, pointing out that the short XRP position worth $31.76 million was liquidated in the last 24 hours, Lucas added, "This is a clear proof that aggressive purchases and the closure of short positions triggered a rapid rise." The analyst stated that this move, combined with the increase in trading volume, is an "excellent recipe" for short-term volatility and strong rise. XRP ETFs moved On the other hand, Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, said that XRP rose significantly with strong volume after exceeding significant resistance levels. Liu added that the rise is further supported by inflows into spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which increase risk appetite. According to SoSoValue data, spot XRP ETFs recorded the largest daily net entry since December 3, with a net inflow of $46.1 million on Monday. Total daily trading volumes reached $72.15 million, which is the highest level since November 24 and the second highest level overall. Since the launch of the first XRP ETF on November 13, the funds have recorded eight consecutive weeks of net inflow, reaching a total of $1.23 billion as of Monday. “This steady demand is based on a few clear factors: re-clarified regulations following the Ripple SEC agreement, interest in XRP's role in cross-border payments, and visibility of long-term institutional investors looking for diversified positions beyond just BTC and ETH,” Lucas of BTC Markets commented. $XRP
Morgan Stanley has applied to the SEC for approval of its BTC and SOL ETFs.
U.S. investment banking giant Morgan Stanley has filed an official application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to offer exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track Bitcoin and Solana. The Wall Street company, which manages approximately $6.4 trillion in assets, submitted separate S-1 applications for the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust and the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust, according to the SEC's statement released on Tuesday. Morgan Stanley's Solana Trust also includes a staking feature. If approved, the applications in question will place Morgan Stanley among major crypto ETF issuers such as BlackRock and Fidelity. Morgan Stanley's applications came with the acceleration of the adoption of crypto ETFs among institutional and individual investors. With this growing demand, leading representatives of traditional finance have begun to focus on the growing crypto ETF market. According to The Block's data, the total transaction volume of US spot crypto ETFs exceeded $2 trillion. The market spent more than a year surpassing the first $1 trillion threshold, then it took only eight months to pass the next trillion threshold. This emphasized the increase in activity and liquidity. After Donald Trump, who held the second term of the presidency in the USA, took office, the formation of a more friendly regulatory environment for crypto assets in the SEC also supported the concentration of companies on this market. Bitcoin and Solana ETF applications show that with crypto markets maturing and institutional participation continuing to expand, Morgan Stanley is positioned to meet growing customer demand for regulated, exchange-traded investment opportunity for digital assets. $BTC $SOL #solana #btc
Bitcoin and general crypto market predictions for 2026 indicate that the industry will now evolve into a new phase governed by institutional and macroeconomic dynamics, breaking away from the four-year classic halving cycles. While giant financial institutions such as Bernstein and Standard Chartered see the $160,000 to $200,000 for Bitcoin as a reasonable target, analytics giants like 21Shares predict that the global crypto ETP (Exchange Traded Products) volume will exceed $400 billion, competing with Nasdaq-100 ETFs. Industry representatives and Wall Street analysts expect more than 100 new ETF applications for assets such as Solana, XRP, Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) to dominate the market with the SEC simplifying general listing standards in 2026. Especially with the addition of staking to Ethereum and Solana ETFs, the transformation of these funds into "returning institutional tools" is seen as the main factor that will reinforce the commitment of institutional capital to the ecosystem. On the macro scale, with the full implementation of the GENIUS Act, stablecoins are expected to become an alternative track to SWIFT in global payment systems, and the on-chain market value of Real World Assets (RWA) such as tokenized US bonds is expected to increase 3-5 times to approach a trillion dollar volume.$SOL $BNB
Bitcoin (BTC) The leading crypto asset settled at the heart of global finance in 2025 as a strategic reserve asset of the USA, not just an investment tool. The rally, which was fueled by corporate ETF entries during the year, surpassed the $126,000 band in August and reached an all-time high. Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum, the "technological leader" of 2025, broke the efficiency record in enterprise staking operations with Pectra and Fusaka updates. Revolutionary features such as raising staking limits and account abstraction have brought the presence of giants like BlackRock on the Ethereum network to 6.5 million ETH. XRP (XRP) For the Ripple ecosystem, 2025 was finally the year of "institutional freedom" after years of legal uncertainties. The launch of the first spot XRP ETFs, along with the SEC approval in October, renewed investor confidence in the asset. Solana (SOL) Solana, known as the "king of speed" in 2025, proved its technical capacity by integrating the Firedancer update, which makes thousands of operations per second possible into the main network. The expected and subsequently confirmed spot ETF wave in the middle of the year triggered RWA (Real World Presence) growth on the Solana network. Official TRUMP (TRUMP) TRUMP, the flagship of the political memecoin movement, reached a historic peak of $77 in parallel with the president's second swearing-in ceremony at the beginning of 2025, becoming the most talked about speculative asset of the year. Despite the intense volatility experienced throughout 2025, it has gained a cult place in the memecoin category with community power. Hyperliquid (HYPE) Making one of the brightest exits of 2025, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has fascinated investors by transforming its decentralized exchange (DEX) infrastructure into a corporate layer-1 network. The token has proven itself with Paxos-backed stablecoin integration and staking ETF applications from giant asset management companies such as VanEck $BTC $ETH $XRP
1️⃣ With Trump taking office in January 2025, the "golden crypto age" began in Washington. The administration, which quickly executed its election promises, provided full legitimacy to the sector by appointing David Sacks as the "Crypto Tsar". In this process, Trump also released his own memecoin. These moves of the White House kept the individual investor appetite alive throughout the year, completely erasing the fear of regulation in the sector. 2️⃣ With the decree signed in March 2025, the USA broke new ground in the world by declaring its Bitcoin assets as the National Strategic Reserve. While this move made Bitcoin a geopolitical power element, the new tariffs that came into play in the first half of the year created turbulence in the market. 3️⃣ The GENIUS regulation, which became law in July, ended the legal chaos by defining stablecoins as a federal means of payment. While the law brought control to digital dollar issuers in banking standards, it paved the way for traditional banks to issue their own stablecoins. 4️⃣ The era of "digital gold" in corporate treasury management has evolved to a new dimension under the leadership of Strategy (MSTR) and BitMine (BMNR). Strategy dominates more than 3% of the total Bitcoin supply, transforming into a "BTC fortress"; BitMine has built the world's largest institutional Ethereum treasure, surpassing the 4 million ETH threshold. 5️⃣ Following Bitcoin and Ethereum, the SEC officially launched the corporate altcoin season by giving spot ETF approvals for Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR) and Chainlink (LINK). These approvals allowed fresh capital to spread throughout the ecosystem. $BTC $PAXG #2025 #WriteToEarnUpgrade #Binance
