Walrus Makes Storage Durable Across Operator Turnover
Most storage solutions assume operators will remain stable over time, but real environments don’t behave that way. Providers exit markets, machines fail, priorities shift, and infrastructure gets reallocated. Walrus is built with operator churn as a baseline condition. Objects are split with erasure coding and distributed across providers so availability doesn’t collapse when a few nodes disappear. WAL incentives reinforce the protocol’s expectation: persistence must outlast the original uploader, not just survive day one. Sui coordinates proofs and lifecycle tasks without forcing the chain to store large payloads. This lets applications rely on the network’s continuity instead of hoping a single provider never changes direction.

South Korea is moving toward reopening its crypto market to corporate participation after nearly a decade of restrictions, signaling a structural shift in how digital assets may be traded domestically. According to draft guidelines from the Financial Services Commission, listed companies and registered professional investor corporations would be allowed to invest corporate funds into crypto again, following a ban that has been in place since 2017. The framework is deliberately conservative, capping annual investments at 5% of a company’s equity and limiting eligible assets to the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with the inclusion of dollar-based stablecoins still under debate.
The proposal also introduces market structure safeguards, including rules on order execution and price limits, aimed at preventing sudden liquidity shocks as corporate money enters the market. While the opening is modest, the scale of corporate balance sheets means even small allocations could translate into meaningful spot demand for major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. At the same time, regulators are aware that allowing corporates in also means allowing them out, creating a new, policy-driven source of supply during periods of stress.
More broadly, the move reflects South Korea’s effort to modernize its financial market infrastructure and attract global capital, alongside initiatives such as extending foreign exchange trading hours. The ultimate impact on Bitcoin liquidity will depend on the final details of eligibility, asset selection, stablecoin treatment, and banking rails, which will determine whether this becomes a steady new source of institutional demand or a cautious pilot with limited market influence.
XRP Drops 2.26% as Regulatory Delay Fuels Seven-Day Slide Despite $3.17B Trading Volume
XRPUSDT experienced a 2.26% decline over the past 24 hours, with the current price at 2.0544 USDT, attributed primarily to regulatory uncertainty following the US Senate Agriculture Committee's delay on the Market Structure Bill. This legislative development has contributed to a broader seven-day downward trend for XRP, despite notable ETF inflows and ongoing institutional interest. Trading activity remains strong, with a 24-hour volume of $3.17 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $124 billion, while the asset trades in a tight range, underperforming the overall cryptocurrency market.

$LUNC Hope vs Reality Check 👀
Calls like “$LUNC to $0.01 this year” sound exciting, but smart traders separate belief from probability. At current levels, reaching that target would require massive supply reduction, sustained volume, and real ecosystem demand — not just social hype.
That doesn’t mean there’s no opportunity. Short-term moves in $LUNC and LUNC can still be traded on momentum, volatility, and news-driven spikes, especially during high-volume sessions. The key is risk management, not blind conviction.
Trade what the market gives — not what memes promise.

$BTC ALERT: The “January 14th” Bitcoin Curse Is Back — 86K Incoming?
There’s an eerie pattern Bitcoin traders can’t ignore. For 7 straight months, BTC has printed an average 5% drawdown within one week after the January 14th opening candle. Not once. Not twice. Seven consecutive times.
Now we’re back at that exact date — and history is staring the market in the face.
If this notorious mid-month setup repeats, Bitcoin could be dragged down into the $86K–$87K zone before the week is over. The chart doesn’t lie: similar structures, similar timing, similar liquidity sweeps. This isn’t fear — it’s probabilities.
Smart money watches patterns retail shrugs off… until it’s too late.
Does January 14th strike again, or is this the month Bitcoin finally breaks the streak?
