#Tether is steadily increasing its gold reserves.
In a Bloomberg interview, @paoloardoino said @Tether_To purchases 1–2 metric tons of gold per week, bringing total holdings to around 140 tons, valued at roughly $23B. The gold is stored in a Swiss nuclear bunker for security.
Ardoino described a vision of Tether acting as a “gold central bank” in a potential post-dollar environment, citing geopolitical shifts and moves by countries such as China and Russia toward gold backed alternatives.
The strategy further diversifies $USDT reserves beyond fiat assets and mirrors broader central bank gold accumulation trends, though it also raises questions around regulatory scrutiny and why Bitcoin $BTC plays a smaller role in Tether’s reserve mix.

Analyst Soothes Market Worries, Highlights Bitcoin's Superior Performance Over Gold Since 2022
Despite recent market volatility, Bitcoin has outperformed traditional assets since 2022, according to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. Balchunas notes that Bitcoin has grown 429% since 2022, outstripping silver, gold, and the Nasdaq-100. He attributes this strong performance to the period surrounding BlackRock's filing for a Bitcoin ETF in 2023 which spurred market anticipation. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's chart may seem unsteady in the short term, but its long-term trajectory paints a more positive picture. Despite struggles to break resistance of $94,000 - $98,000 and a recent dip below $90,000, Bitcoin remains a strong asset in the long term, with its dominance hovering around 57%. Current market weakness is attributed to broader risk-off conditions like uncertainty around US monetary policy and large liquidations in derivatives markets.
Plasma starts from a quiet truth most people already feel. Stablecoins are being used like money, yet the experience still feels fragile, technical, and unfinished. Plasma’s purpose is to remove that friction and give digital dollars the same calm reliability people expect from cash. This intention flows directly into how the system is built. By keeping full EVM compatibility through a Reth-based execution layer, it respects the work developers have already done. By using PlasmaBFT, it makes settlement feel final, not anxious, not delayed.$XPL The most human choice is gasless USDT transfers. No extra tokens. No confusion at the moment that matters. Just sending value. Security is treated with the same seriousness. By anchoring to Bitcoin, Plasma leans on a network that has earned global trust through time, not marketing. The result is a chain that feels less like an experiment and more like infrastructure. Something merchants can rely on. Something families can use across borders. Something institutions can build on without fear.

Buy Zone: 3,010–3,035

Price reclaimed structure fast, pulled back in control, and every dip is being absorbed. Liquidity sweep below 3,000 failed, showing buyers are defending. As long as demand holds, continuation is favored. Levels clear, risk defined — let’s ride this one 💥

$KITE /USDT Momentum Breakout in Play
$KITE just flipped structure on the 4H chart. After a long consolidation near 0.11, price broke out with strong volume and clean bullish candles, printing higher highs and higher lows. The move to 0.156 shows aggressive buying, and the current pullback looks healthy, not weak. As long as price holds above the breakout zone, continuation remains the higher-probability scenario.
Trade Setup
Entry: 0.138 – 0.145
Target 1: 0.158
Target 2: 0.172
Target 3: 0.190
Stop Loss: 0.126

$XLM /USDT Stellar is currently trading around 0.2102 USDT, showing a +2.04% move in the last 24 hours. After a strong impulsive push from the 0.206–0.207 zone, price entered a short consolidation and is now holding above key intraday support. The structure on lower timeframes shows higher lows, while sellers failed to push price back below the breakout base. This keeps the short-term bias constructive.
On the 1H timeframe, candles show controlled pullbacks rather than aggressive selling, which usually signals continuation rather than reversal. The rejection near 0.212 confirms this level as a short-term resistance, but repeated tests increase the probability of a clean breakout if volume expands.
Trade Setup (Intraday / Short-term)
• Entry Zone: 0.2090 – 0.2105
• Target 1 🎯: 0.2120
• Target 2 🎯: 0.2155
• Target 3 🎯: 0.2190
• Stop Loss: 0.2065
If 0.212–0.213 is reclaimed with strong volume and candle close, $XLM can accelerate into the next resistance band, turning the current consolidation into a continuation leg. As long as price holds above the 0.206 structure, dips remain buyable and momentum favors upside expansion rather than breakdown.

The #Federal Reserve is expected to hold the federal funds rate steady at 3.5%–3.75% during its January 2026 meeting, signaling a pause after three back-to-back cuts last year that brought borrowing costs to their lowest levels since 2022. Market participants will be closely watching any guidance on the timing of the next rate reduction, though policymakers may indicate an extended hold.
Recent data show a marked slowdown in job growth, a stable unemployment rate, and inflation lingering above the Fed’s 2% target, all of which support a cautious approach. In its December projections, the Fed signaled only a single 25-basis-point cut for 2026, with markets largely anticipating it around June and a smaller chance of another adjustment by December.
Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming press conference, the first since the Fed received grand jury subpoenas, is expected to draw questions on political pressures and the bank’s independence, adding a layer of scrutiny to an already closely watched policy meeting.

$KAVA is trading around 0.0783, posting a +3% move in the last 24 hours. After a steady push from the 0.0772 base, price attempted a breakout near 0.0794 and is now consolidating just below that level. This behavior suggests healthy cooling rather than weakness.
On the 1H timeframe, structure remains constructive. Higher lows are still intact, and recent pullbacks are being absorbed above prior intraday support. Bullish candles earlier in the session indicate demand stepping in on dips, which often precedes another attempt to test the highs. Volume remains supportive, signaling that buyers have not exited the move.
If price holds above the current consolidation range and reclaims the intraday high with conviction, continuation toward higher resistance zones becomes likely.
Trade Setup
• Entry Zone: 0.0778 – 0.0785
• Target 1: 0.0800
• Target 2: 0.0825
• Target 3: 0.0850
• Stop Loss: 0.0765
A clean break and hold above 0.0795 with rising volume would confirm strength and open the path toward the upper targets. Failure to hold the entry zone would invalidate the setup and shift focus back to range support.

Звичайні енциклопедії сидять на чиїхось серверах, і якщо хтось зверху скаже «прикрити» ну то все, це кінець. А на Walrus можна зробити справжню базу знань, де кожна правка то це просто окремий об’єкт у мережі. Цей момент можна розкрутити, але зараз не про це. І ніякий суд, ніякий уряд не зможе взяти й одним махом усе вимкнути.
Бо знаєш, доступ до знань то це не якась там розкіш для багатих країн чи «правильних» людей. Це має бути базове право кожної людини. Поки що це виглядає так, але я вважаю що ситуація тут явно не остаточна.@WalrusProtocol #walrus $WAL
$HOME is trading around 0.03148, up ~3.7% in the last 24 hours, showing clear strength after a clean bounce from the 0.0300 zone. Price pushed into 0.03185 and is now consolidating above prior resistance, which is a healthy sign. On the 1H timeframe, structure remains bullish with higher lows and steady follow-through, suggesting buyers are still in control. As long as price holds above the breakout base, continuation remains the higher-probability path.
Trade Setup
Entry Zone: 0.0312 – 0.0316
Target 1 🎯: 0.03185 (recent high / first liquidity)
Target 2 🎯: 0.0326 (extension of the current leg)
Target 3 🎯: 0.0335 (range expansion zone)
Stop Loss: 0.0308 (below structure support)
If HOME reclaims and holds above 0.03185 with strong volume, momentum can accelerate into a broader expansion phase, opening the door for higher levels in the short term.
