☹️ $XRP SELLING PRESSURE INCREASES STRONGLY, PRICE LOST THE $2 THRESHOLD — WHAT IS HAPPENING?

- $XRP is under significant pressure after losing the psychological threshold of $2, causing market sentiment to shift entirely towards defense.
- The weak rebound cannot maintain demand, while the flow of money shows signs of shifting from holding to distribution.

🔼 QUICK POINTS:
- $XRP has dropped ~50% from the recent cycle peak of $3.66, currently around $1.85–$1.90
- The inflow to exchanges has increased significantly, especially on Binance — a signal preparing for selling
- Bearish technical structure: price is below key MAs, weak RSI

✅ IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LEVELS:
- Support: $1.80–$1.85 (short-term demand zone). Breaking this area could pave the way to $1.50
- Resistance: $2.10–$2.20. Only if this area is reclaimed and held, can the trend have a chance to reverse

✏️ Conclusion: With high inflow to exchanges, XRP is unlikely to form a sustainable bottom. The market needs to see a decrease in inflow + demand returning to confirm accumulation. For now, the risk remains tilted towards a decline/sideways movement lasting.

🔥Market prediction from Dragonfly Capital for 2026

Haseeb (Managing Partner Dragonfly) shares a perspective on BTC price and notable sectors for 2026:

🖤 $BTC breaks $150,000 by the end of 2026, but dominance will decrease -> Altcoins will not face much pressure when BTC rises
🖤 $ETH & $SOL will grow "beyond expectations", top devs still prioritize neutral infrastructure
🖤 Big Tech (Google/Facebook/Apple) may launch or acquire crypto wallet projects
🖤 Perp DEX will be favored due to reduced legal barriers
🖤 Stablecoin supply increases ~60%, USD stablecoin still >99%; USDT dominance slightly decreases to ~55%
🖤 Prediction market booms, but 90% of products will sink and then disappear

The perspectives among the funds are similar but not much different in product trends 💪

🔥 Bitcoin has about ~7% left to close the year 2025 in the green!

- Looking at the quarters, Q4 2025 is the second worst quarter in history.

- Looking at the years, so far, 2025 is one of the 4 years with negative profits in the last 11 years.

- Gold, Silver, and Platinum have all seen significant corrections in trading on the first day of the week yesterday. There has been a recovery this morning.

- According to the community, nearly 4% means >90K, to pull a green candle for December, 7% to pull a green candle for the year 2025, so can Bitcoin do it in the next 47 hours?

🔥 It's almost 2025, sit here and let me tell you about the legend

No fancy office. No MBA degree. But he built a project valued at 9B USD at the age of 27

- At 14 years old, discovered crypto while downloading pirated music

- At 16 years old, bought ETH for $0.30 during Ethereum's first ICO

- 2020: COVID broke out, locked himself in the bathroom to build the project

- 2022: fined 1.4M USD by regulators, banned from entering the US

- 2024: His company predicted Trump's first victory

- October 2025, NYSE owner invests 2B USD to acquire 25% of the company

- At 27, the youngest self-made billionaire in the world

No fancy office. No MBA degree. But he has "overcome all difficulties" to the end

Really impressed with Shayne Coplan - CEO of Polymarket

🔥 There is a high possibility that Lighter will not airdrop today

The Lighter airdrop is one of the most anticipated airdrops by many people

Initially, many exchanges like Mexc and Gate announced the end of the Lighter event on 29/12

The odds on Polymarket for the airdrop on 29/12 once rose to 87%. But it seems the tide is changing, this rate has dropped to 43%

That’s why, even if the odds on Polymarket are 90%, it's still just for reference 😬

🔥League of Legends "The Big Short 2008" continues to indicate trends for 2026

Three former traders who crashed Wall Street in 2008 are Danny Moses, Vinny Daniel, and Porter Collins, who are betting together on a scenario. Continue to Short USD, hold strong on Gold.

In this context, the current rise of American stocks, Bitcoin is too dependent on AI, highly centralized, and can quickly crash if the flow of money reverses. Meanwhile, U.S. public debt is ballooning, geopolitical tensions are prolonged, and loose fiscal policies are gradually eroding the role of the USD as the global reserve currency.

Moreover, Gold is definitely the economic measure, the number one reserve asset. This group believes that the upcoming trend of precious metals will continue to rise despite the world entering a phase of economic turmoil.

While the majority is fascinated by AI and stocks, smart money is quietly selling USD and buying gold.

Do we have to go through another tough period for Bitcoin and the crypto market 🙏

🔥 Memecoin $WhiteWhale goes against the market rising x60 after the owner took over

While many old memecoins are dumping heavily, $WhiteWhale is reviving the Solana hype by the end of 2025

Inspired by the famous trader The White Whale, what has caused this token to surge:
🖤 Initially created by fans, then taken over by The White Whale
🖤 He used $130k to create liquidity on Wasabi Protocol and DeFiTuna
🖤 Locking the tokens until 2063
🖤 The treasury currently holds ~35% of the supply for buyback, rewarding holders, and stabilizing prices

-> The goal is to make the token less susceptible to rug pulls

A rare case where someone stands behind "based" like this. However, memecoins still carry certain risks, so let's limit FOMO

If only all top world KOLs were like this, how great it would be 🤭

Solana Price Prediction: What will happen to $SOL in January 2026

- December's sharp decline suggests a recovery; January's average increase of 59% due to inflows from ETFs.
- Bullish divergence of the RSI supports, but bearish crossovers and short positions limit the upward momentum.
- 129 USD confirms the upward trend to 150–171 USD; if it breaks 116 USD, the bullish scenario will end.

⠀

$XRP at a critical time when on-chain data and charts show conflicting signals
⠀
- $XRP decreased by 11.4% in December, potentially ending a two-year streak of consecutive growth
- The inflow of funds into Binance increases, indicating rising selling pressure and retail investors accepting losses.
- Analysts point out that 2017-style patterns may continue to support long-term recovery.

World Liberty Financial proposes using the treasury to promote the acceptance $USD1
⠀
This plan aims to support cooperation between CeFi and DeFi, arguing that the wider use of USD1 will help strengthen the WLFI ecosystem and increase demand for services governed by WLFI.

- World Liberty Financial introduces a governance proposal using a portion of its token treasury to support the development of USD1.
- The plan aims to use less than 5% of the supply $WLFI of unlocked tokens to fund incentive programs and partnerships for stablecoins.
- However, this initiative has faced strong opposition from the outset, with more than 67% of voters currently disagreeing with this proposal.

Hyperliquid reveals a signal about unlocking $HYPE —What's happening on 06/01?

- Hyperliquid will distribute 1.2 million $HYPE tokens to team members on 06/01/2026.
- $HYPE from the control group will follow a one-year cliff mechanism and be distributed linearly until 2027 to ensure consensus.
- The monthly unlocking, which can be predicted in advance, helps limit sudden sell-offs but still creates short-term supply pressure.

3 notable meme coins in January 2026
⠀
- $PUMP is at risk of dropping below 0.00179 USD as whales continuously reduce their positions.
- $PIPPIN has regained the 0.46 USD mark with CMF above 0, potentially heading towards 0.55 USD and 0.71 USD.
- $DOGE maintains 0.120 USD with sharks accumulating, supporting a rise to 0.141 USD

The issue of Bitcoin's '13 unlucky' is: the reasons why every time the price rebounds it fails

- The cost basis of short-term retail investors is at 99,790 USD, limiting every price rebound of Bitcoin.
- CMF below 0 indicates that buying pressure is not strong enough to overcome the resistance zone.
- A 13% increase above 99,790 USD - 99,820 USD could reverse the trend and reset the outlook for January 2024.

🔥 Bitmine is recording a loss of 3.5B USD on an investment of $ETH

As of now, Bitmine holds 3.86M $ETH worth 12.4B USD

And if you buy $ETH at the current price, it will be equivalent to Bitmine's DCA ETH price

Good deal, I'm only telling you 😎

🔥 DePIN generates $73.8M in revenue in 2025 — but the token price is ...

1. Looking at DEPIN projects in 2025:

- Average DePIN token -58.45%
- Most -80-90%
- Even $TAO — the strongest project in the DEPIN sector — is also down 40%

2. Everything with DEPIN seems perfect:

- Infrastructure is being built
- Real users are using it
- Revenue is real

...

But that value does not flow to token holders 🤡

3. So where is the actual problem?

Tokenomics is the thing that kills the token price

Most DePIN tokens are only used for Airdrop, to expand the project.

When the project is successful, all revenue will flow into the Team's pockets. And the token does not receive any benefits!

In the future, DEPIN projects (Gradient, Dawn,...) will be launched. You know what to do 🫣

🔥 Price $ARB may drop significantly, but Arbitrum still shows its importance

Currently, there are over 100 Layer2 projects with TVL over $100K, but in reality, only 2 projects are truly "alive":

✔️ They are Base and Arbitrum

Base leads in revenue - largely due to the strength of Coinbase.

Meanwhile, Arbitrum is quietly becoming the infrastructure for the finance sector

Notable numbers of Arbitrum 👇

- $20B total value secured
- Robinhood stock token surpasses $50M volume
- Stablecoin peaks at $10.6B, handling over $150B volume
- Revenue of $4.5M just in October, coming from multiple sources
- The majority of value is secured properly, not fake TVL

Currently, the market is tough, and many L2s will close down. Liquidity will gradually be fragmented

And only those Layer2s with real users can survive

Revenue and profit are what sustain the project in the long run 😎

RWAs have now surpassed DEXs to become the fifth largest category in DeFi by TVL.

Earlier this year, DEX platforms weren't even in the top 10 categories.
