Pump.fun (PUMP), Story (IP), and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) are experiencing a strong sell-off wave over the past 24 hours, indicating that market sentiment remains cautious.

The crypto market opened the day under pressure after Bitcoin lost the $90,000 level, a key psychological support traders had been watching closely. BTC briefly slipped below that mark earlier today, triggering a wave of selling across the market and dragging most major altcoins lower with it.

Emerging token RIVER experienced a remarkable start to 2026, surging another 12% in the past 24 hours, breaking through $18, with a market cap approaching $366 million. Its nearly one-month increase exceeds 340%, and the year-to-date gain has reached nearly 469%, making it the most eye-catching short-term target in the market. This wave of frenzy was directly triggered by a public call from BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes and was strongly boosted by massive leveraged trading in the derivatives market, with daily trading volume on Binance futures alone reaching up to $2 billion. This "perfect storm" driven by opinion leaders, technological breakthroughs, and leveraged funds vividly demonstrates the emotional and highly volatile speculative nature of the crypto market.

Solana (SOL) once again attracts attention after recording a 24-hour DEX trading volume of $6.701 billion, surpassing the total activity of all Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks combined. This growth momentum has sparked a wave of optimism across the entire cryptocurrency market, especially when

Financial markets are responding cautiously rather than panic-driven to a new wave of geopolitical statements and developments involving the United States. Bitcoin slipped below the $93,000 level despite extremely high activity in futures markets, while gold, after several strong sessions, has

2026 will become the key year for large-scale institutional adoption of blockchain, with stablecoins being the most fundamental and largest-scale blockchain application. Trend Research believes that WLFI (World Liberty Financial) and its launched USD1 stablecoin will become one of the fastest-growing and most widely used blockchain projects. In the future era of on-chain finance, it will have comprehensive advantages such as compliance, branding, users, and liquidity, forming the infrastructure for a market worth hundreds of trillions of dollars in on-chain finance. 1. Stablecoin Explosion Is Ready to Burst "Throughout the history of financial technology, almost never have we seen such a level of global project startup. The business model of stablecoins is fostering a new wave of founders, builders, and products. They are no longer limited by geopolitical barriers. From the very first moment of product launch, their goal is the global market." 1. Growth Trend of Stablecoins

Solana just hit fresh highs at $294 in January 2025, Avalanche secured a $675 million institutional deal, and both chains are climbing hard into Q1 2026. But while SOL and AVAX holders celebrate their gains, something unexpected is happening. A wave of profit-takers from these Layer-1 giants are

To ride the AI wave, Bitcoin mining leader Riot Platforms (NYSE: RIOT) has not hesitated to "sell coins for cash." At the end of last year, it sold a total of 2,201 Bitcoins, earning approximately $200 million. According to Riot Platforms' disclosures, the company sold 383 and 1,818 Bitcoins in November and December of last year, respectively, reducing its holdings to 18,005 Bitcoins. Miner companies sell Bitcoin for various reasons, including covering operational costs, adjusting asset allocation, or responding to market fluctuations. However, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, pointed out that Riot's recent coin sales may be closely related to its AI data center deployment. Matthew Sigel analyzed that Riot's end-of-year Bitcoin sales income...

Interview: The Round Trip Compiled & Edited by Yuliya, PANews As the AI wave sweeps the globe at an unprecedented speed, a "arms race" centered around computing power has already begun. When Nvidia's market value surpasses one trillion, and giants like AWS and Google Cloud almost monopolize cloud computing power, a profound challenge faces all AI innovators: Will the high concentration of computing power stifle open innovation and lock the future of AI within the "walled gardens" of a few companies? With a successful track record of selling a company for $60 million to Snapchat and founding Product Science, which provides AI code optimization services for top enterprises, Gonka AI's co-founders David and Daniel

Bitcoin rebounded to around $93,860 today, driven by three main factors: the Venezuela geopolitical crisis triggering safe-haven demand, Trump not ruling out military action against Greenland, technical oversold recovery, and institutional buying resuming. The technical structure has shifted from a descending triangle to a narrowing wedge, with RSI rising above the midline. After holding the $92,000 support, the probability of breaking through the $100,000 barrier increases.

The corporate bond issuance market, which had been quiet for a period, has become active again at the beginning of the new year. As the largest-scale corporate bond maturity wave in history arrives this year, major companies are rapidly taking action to refinance their funds. According to the Korea Exchange, on January 5th, Korea Aerospace and Pohang Future Technology announced plans to issue corporate bonds worth 250 billion KRW each, while Lotte Wellfood and Hanwha Investment & Securities also announced they would raise 200 billion KRW and 150 billion KRW respectively. Based on demand forecast results, these companies have reserved the option to double their issuance scale. Among them, Hanwha Aerospace has already initiated its first demand forecast for this year, and the remaining companies will also conduct demand forecasts successively. The process of companies issuing corporate bonds to raise funds is closely related to market interest rates. Until the end of last year, rapidly rising interest rates caused financing pressures for companies, leading to a continued atmosphere of delaying issuance. As the Bank of Korea maintains the benchmark

Edited｜Odaily Planet Daily (@OdailyChina); Translator｜Moni After experiencing what can be called a "tormenting" Q4 of 2025, the cryptocurrency market finally shows signs of recovery in early 2026. To many people's surprise, it was not Bitcoin or Ethereum that ignited the crypto rally at the start of the new year, but Meme coins. After a period of calm holidays and sluggish market activity, Meme coins are making a strong comeback. Is the capital rotation cycle repeating? Honestly, this Meme coin rally is not surprising. By the end of 2025, market liquidity dried up, FUD sentiment spread, and retail investors' risk tolerance dropped to the lowest point of the year. Meme coin market capitalization fell over 65%, and on December 19, it even dropped to $35 billion, hitting a new annual low, with traders' risk tolerance decreasing. After Christmas, Bitcoin

Author | Momir @IOSG The altcoin market has experienced its most difficult period this year. To understand why, we need to go back to decisions made a few years ago. The funding bubble of 2021-2022 fueled a wave of projects that raised large amounts of money. Now, these projects are issuing tokens, leading to a fundamental problem: a massive supply flooding the market, while demand remains scarce. The issue is not just oversupply; even more concerning is that the mechanism causing this problem has remained largely unchanged to this day. Projects continue to issue tokens regardless of whether there is a market for their products, treating token issuance as an inevitable step rather than a strategic choice. As venture capital dries up and primary market investments shrink, many teams see token issuance as the only fundraising channel or a way to create exit opportunities for insiders. This article will analyze the "Four Losses Dilemma" that is dismantling the altcoin market, examine why past repair mechanisms have failed, and propose possible pathways for rebalancing. 1

Pi coin drops 1.38% to $0.211, weekly increase of 5% but encounters resistance at $0.22 and pulls back. Core selling pressure: 1/2 unlocks 6 million coins, with 131 million coins to be released in the next 30 days. The team launched v23 upgrade, but the unclear 2026 target raises market concerns. $0.20 is a key psychological support level; falling below may intensify panic.

The past 2025 has showcased an unprecedented "Tech Ice and Fire Show" in the capital markets. On one side are the newly listed tech giants, whose stock prices have plummeted like a kite with a broken string. Once hot star companies have seen their market values evaporate by billions of dollars within months, with some cases experiencing declines of over 50%. The market's "coldness" has quickly spread, causing many star companies planning to go public to become fearful and repeatedly postpone their IPO plans. On the other side, the "hot pursuit" of capital is burning fiercely. A brand-new "Trillion-Dollar Club" is gathering outside the gates of the capital market. From Elon Musk's space empire SpaceX to Sam Altman's OpenAI, and the emerging giants like Anthropic, they are preparing with valuations often reaching hundreds of billions or even trillions, gearing up for the next wave of technological advancement.

The proposal to significantly expand the number of shares allowed for issuance by BitMine has faced an increasing wave of opposition from shareholders, even as the company continues to affirm Ethereum as a key treasury asset.

Author: Frank, PANews Recently, the popularity of prediction markets has continued to rise, especially with smart money's arbitrage strategies being regarded as the gold standard. Many have started to imitate and experiment, as if a new wave of gold rush has begun. But behind the hype, how effective are these seemingly clever and reasonable strategies? How exactly are they executed? PANews conducted an in-depth analysis of 27,000 transactions made by the top ten profit-generating whales on Polymarket in December, exploring the true nature of their profits. After analysis, PANews found that although many of these "smart money" operations involved hedging arbitrage strategies, this hedging is significantly different from the simple hedging described on social media. The actual strategies are more complex, far from just a simple "yes" or "no" combination, but instead make full use of rules like "over/under" and "win/lose" in sports betting.

To everyone's surprise, at the beginning of the new year, the spark for the crypto market was not Bitcoin or Ethereum, but Meme coins.

As the US regulatory environment shifts with the passage of the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill, one of the Big Four accounting firms, PwC, has announced a full-scale entry into the crypto industry, covering everything from auditing and consulting to regulatory advisory. This move not only signifies the end of PwC's years of cautious observation but also heralds the rapid disappearance of the boundary between traditional finance and blockchain. US Deregulation Spurs PwC’s Crypto Engagement: Now Is the Best Time PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) US CEO Paul Griggs told the Financial Times in an exclusive interview that the company has launched a comprehensive internal deployment of personnel and expertise, actively expanding cooperation with crypto enterprises. He pointed out that the key reason for this shift is the passage of the GENIUS Act and the clear regulatory framework for stablecoins, which led the company to believe that now is the best time to invest in the crypto ecosystem: I expect that regulatory clarity will make

In May 2025, the Anza team spun off from Solana Labs designed and announced a comprehensive overhaul called the Alpenglow consensus architecture. This upgrade is not a gradual optimization but a complete redesign from the ground up, aiming to reduce the average block finality time of the Solana network from about 12 seconds to an astonishing 100 to 150 milliseconds, achieving nearly a 100-fold performance leap. The goal is to make Solana the first public blockchain to maintain decentralization while reaching the response levels of traditional Web2 applications. Meanwhile, the Solana ecosystem has shown strong momentum, with on-chain spot trading volume surpassing $1.6 trillion in 2025, exceeding all major CEXs except Binance, and liquidity and stablecoin supply continuing to migrate to high-performance chains. The success or failure of Alpenglow will directly determine whether Solana can support the next wave of institutional-grade, real-time applications.

Morgan Stanley (Morgan Stanley) stated in the 2026 Market Outlook report that after experiencing policy and macroeconomic uncertainties for most of 2025, the global investment environment is gradually shifting toward a relatively favorable state. The report believes that, with rare alignment in monetary policy, fiscal policy, and regulatory direction, coupled with the continued expansion of AI investments, market focus is beginning to shift from macro risks back to the performance and narratives of various asset classes.
