XRP crashes to its lowest since Trump's election win, could slide further to $1.00
XRP has fallen to $1.44, its lowest level since November 2024, as bitcoin’s decline fuels broader risk aversion in the crypto market.
XRP has fallen to $1.44, its lowest level since November 2024, as bitcoin’s decline fuels broader risk aversion in the crypto market.
The token has broken below key support around $1.60, a former demand zone from April’s sell-off, leaving limited technical support until the psychologically important $1.00 level.

Solana to reach $2,000 by 2030 despite recent plunge to $100, says Standard Chartered
Analyst Geoffrey Kendrick trimmed his 2026 SOL forecast to $250 from $310, but says stablecoin micropayments could drive a longer-term surge as Solana moves beyond memecoins.
The bank describes Solana as moving beyond its “one-trick pony” image. In 2025, nearly half of Solana’s protocol fees came from memecoin trading on decentralized exchanges. But data now shows a shift in trading flows — from meme tokens to SOL-stablecoin pairs — suggesting that new uses are emerging. Stablecoin turnover on Solana now significantly outpaces Ethereum ETH$2,270.76, pointing to a different kind of activity: high-frequency, low-cost transactions. ivest in $SOL #strategy
The White House is meeting folks, Congress advanced a bill and key regulators are back to joint press appearances.
The White House is convening a meeting of representatives from the crypto and banking industries to kickstart a conversation on stablecoin yield and rewards. The parties involved so far largely consist of representatives from trade organizations and lobbyist groups, though a handful of companies also appear to be sending representatives from their policy teams.
The parties will likely discuss what they might be willing to compromise on around the yield issue, and could form the basis of further negotiations as the Senate Banking Committee gets back to negotiating the bill itself.
Of course, yield rewards was just one of the many outstanding areas of disagreement; there's still anti-money laundering and know-your-customer provisions as they apply to decentralized finance (DeFi), whether the regulators will be required to have a quorum of bipartisan commissioners and whether there will be ethics provisions enforced on the president (and other lawmakers). The Banking Committee's members have not yet indicated if they are making any progress on some of these issues. A markup hearing still seems likely to happen in the coming weeks — it's just unclear when.$BTC #USCryptoMarketStructureBill
A fast Bitcoin drop usually has a mechanical component, and you could see it in the way price moved.
The first push lower tends to come from spot selling and hedging, then the derivatives market takes over. Stops get hit, funding flips, open interest gets forced down, and liquidations do the rest. The selling becomes less about belief and more about rules, margin requirements, and forced execution.
If you want a single datapoint to watch in real time during these moves, it is liquidation prints and how they cluster around obvious levels.
The most recent data from Coinglass shows over $800 million in liquidations, with $691 million taken from longs over the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin faces slide to $60,000 if impending US shutdown triggers a statistical blackout
As shutdown risk elevates, Bitcoin traders brace for ETF outflows and potential data blackouts.
Bitcoin traders are aggressively positioning for a US government shutdown that could begin Jan. 31 if Congress fails to extend funding that expires Jan. 30.
The urgency of the setup is visible in prediction markets, where odds changes have become tradable headlines in their own right.
Shutdown contracts on prediction platforms like Polymarket have swung to as high as 80% for a shutdown by Jan. 31. The market has drawn nearly $11 million in bets as of press time.
For BTC traders, these rapidly shifting probabilities translate into short-dated hedging demand and sharper moves around incremental legislative updates.
Notably, a partial shutdown tied to unfinished appropriations is the core risk under debate. The Wall Street Journal reports that this includes a contentious fight within the Department of Homeland Security in a broader $1.3 trillion spending package.
Consequently, the transmission to Bitcoin depends on whether the lapse disrupts core economic data releases and whether ETF outflows accelerate as managers cut risk.
Data fog is the headline risk, because rates set the tone for Bitcoin
A shutdown is not a debt-ceiling default event because Treasury interest and principal payments continue. However, the first-order shock of these events is often informational.
If a funding lapse pulls staff from agencies that publish market-moving releases, investors can lose scheduled anchors for inflation, jobs, and spending trends, forcing rate markets to trade with less clarity than they typically get from the macro calendar.
So, the risk is less about the government missing a payment and more about the market losing a timetable.
In prior shutdowns, officials warned that releases, including jobs and CPI, could be delayed, which is a straightforward problem for any market trying to price the path of monetary policy.

Another Red Day for Crypto ETFs as Bitcoin, Ether See Fresh Exits
Are Bitcoin ETFs still seeing outflows? Yes, bitcoin ETFs posted a $32 million net outflow, though selling slowed and was limited to major funds.
How did Ether ETFs perform compared to Bitcoin? Ether ETFs saw a larger $42 million outflow, with losses partially offset by inflows into Grayscale products.
Which crypto ETFs attracted inflows despite market pressure? XRP and Solana ETFs stayed positive, drawing small but steady inflows during the session.
What does this trend signal for crypto investors? The data suggests cooling capitulation, selective positioning, and cautious sentiment rather than a full rebound.
What is driving the current bearish convergence in bitcoin markets? On-chain data show negative apparent demand alongside whale and dolphin distribution, signaling selling pressure outweighing new buyer absorption.
Why is Cryptoquant warning about long-term holder behavior? Long-term holders are releasing bitcoin at a pace that historically suppresses price momentum beyond short-term pullbacks.
What does a negative Coinbase Premium Index indicate for bitcoin? It reflects weaker demand from U.S.-based traders and institutions compared with global markets.
Do bearish on-chain signals mean a bitcoin crash is imminent? Historically, similar conditions have led to extended consolidation rather than immediate sharp declines.
The big U.S. crypto bill is on the move. Here is what it means for everyday users
For those who don't have the compass and the time to track Congress through its arcane procedures, here's what's likely to affect you if a bill passes. Or doesn't.
What's in all this congressional action for you? Potentially a fully regulated infrastructure for your crypto holdings, which could mean more safety with less outlaw vibe.
In the final outcome of these months (and years) of lobbying and lawmaking, crypto would become a node of the established U.S. financial system, though failure is still an option.
Winning the government's stamp of approval could drive more investment that raises the value of existing holdings, though rewards for investors may be under pressure in the latest negotiations.
Here’s why bitcoin’s is failing its role as a 'safe haven' versus gold
Bitcoin behaves more like an "ATM" during uncertain times, with investors quickly selling it to raise cash.
What to know:
During recent geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin lost 6.6% of its value, while gold rose 8.6%, demonstrating bitcoin's vulnerability in times of market stress.
Bitcoin behaves more like an "ATM" during uncertain times, with investors quickly selling it to raise cash, contrary to its reputation as a stable digital asset.
Gold remains the preferred hedge for short-term risks, while bitcoin is better suited for long-term monetary and geopolitical uncertainties that unfold over years.
Achiziționarea etherului și a Bitmine Immersion înainte de weekend este o miză bună: Standard Chartered
Activitatea de tranzacționare în creștere pe Ethereum și achizițiile continue ale lui Tom Lee sunt semne bune pentru cripto, care a scăzut de la maximele din 2026 în zilele recente, a spus Geoff Kendrick.
Ce trebuie să știți:
Etherul a scăzut împreună cu restul cripto în ultimele zile, dar dezvoltările pozitive continuă, a spus Geoff Kendrick de la Standard Chartered.
El a observat că tranzacțiile pe rețea au crescut la maxime record după actualizarea Fusaka din decembrie, despre care analiștii spun că atenuează blocajele de capacitate anterioare și permite mai multă activitate on-chain.
Achizițiile continue ale Bitmine Immersion și șansele în creștere ca Rick Rieder de la BlackRock să fie următorul președinte al Rezervei Federale sunt, de asemenea, printre dezvoltările optimiste. A fi lung pe ETH și BMNR în weekend arată [ca] un risc/recompensă bun.$ETH #ETHMarketWatch
Slăbiciunea Bitcoin față de aur și acțiuni readuce temerile legate de computația cuantică în prim-plan
Unii investitori și-au revigorat îngrijorările că computația cuantică ar putea amenința bitcoin, dar analiștii și dezvoltatorii afirmă că slăbiciunea recentă a prețului reflectă structura pieței.
Ce trebuie să știți:
Stagnarea recentă a prețului Bitcoin a stârnit o dezbatere reînnoită asupra riscurilor legate de computația cuantică, investitorul Nic Carter argumentând că temerile cuantice deja conturează comportamentul pieței.
Analiștii on-chain și investitorii proeminenți contrazic faptul că încetinirea este mai bine explicată prin faptul că marii deținători își iau profiturile și prin creșterea ofertei care ajunge pe piață în jurul nivelului de $100,000.
Cei mai mulți dezvoltatori Bitcoin încă văd atacurile cuantice ca o amenințare îndepărtată, gestionabilă, observând că actualizările propuse, cum ar fi BIP-360, oferă o cale către securitate rezistentă la cuantă și este puțin probabil să explice mișcările de preț pe termen scurt.$BTC #FOMCWatch
