Cryptocurrency Market Overview BTC (-0.25% | Current price 91,065 USDT): In the past 24 hours, BTC's price initially continued the previous rally and surged rapidly, forming a local high near 94,800 USDT. Subsequently, bullish momentum waned, and the price began to retreat from the high, experiencing a noticeable downward trend. During the decline, the price dipped to around 88,465 USDT for support, with bearish momentum gradually dissipating. The market saw bottom-fishing funds entering, prompting a technical rebound. Currently, the price has recovered to around 91,000 USDT, but overall, it remains in a correction and consolidation phase after the decline. There is significant resistance in the 92,000–93,000 region above, while the 90,000 level below has become an important support for short-term bulls and bears. The short-term trend is mainly characterized by oscillation and correction.

JPMorgan Chase, a global banking giant, is pushing its blockchain ambitions to new heights. The bank plans to expand its JPM Coin deposit token from the existing Ethereum Layer 2 network Base to privacy-focused Canton Network and other blockchain platforms, aiming to build a "regulated, interoperable digital dollar" system that spans public chains and private networks. This strategy aims to provide institutional clients with near-instant, secure cross-border payment and settlement options. Meanwhile, its Kinetics digital payment network has successfully been implemented, helping multinational companies like Siemens achieve 7x24 real-time foreign exchange settlements. JPMorgan's move marks a significant step for traditional financial giants to deeply reshape the infrastructure of global capital flows in a compliant and gradual manner, establishing a key paradigm for the integration of "blockchain + finance."

Entering 2026, the native token Pi Coin of the mobile mining project Pi Network has recently seen a significant increase in trading activity, and market attention has rebounded.

The highly anticipated mobile mining project Pi Network has recently experienced unusual market activity. Its token Pi Coin, amid declining social media discussion, has defied the trend with seven consecutive days of price increases, with daily trading volume soaring to 8 million USD, reaching a near three-week high, forming a rare phenomenon of “discrepancy between volume, price, and social buzz.” Analysis suggests that this may be an early deployment by large investors (whales) under the condition of still low retail investor participation. Meanwhile, Pi Network has officially launched its first multi-signature wallet, aiming to enhance security and practicality, adding a key piece to its long-term roadmap. The market is watching whether these changes indicate that Pi Coin will break free from long-term skepticism and enter a new development phase.
