In January 2026, $5.5 billion worth of tokens will be unlocked, with the four major currencies ONDO, BGB, HYPE, and TRUMP accounting for 35% ($1.94 billion). ONDO will unlock $840 million, BGB will unlock $500 million, and TRUMP will unlock $270 million. When market liquidity is insufficient, large-scale unlocking may trigger significant volatility.

Walking in downtown Caracas, store clerks directly point to the USDT payment code, and Bolivars are almost useless. By the end of 2025, 10% of food and 40% of trading will be in cryptocurrencies. In 2023, the PDVSA corruption scandal erupted, with $20 billion stolen by officials through USDT. The government shut down all national mines citing the power grid, and tens of thousands of devices were confiscated, turning the mining paradise into a forbidden zone.

Austan Goolsbee and three hawkish Fed presidents exit FOMC voting in 2026, replaced by Anna Paulson and Neel Kashkari (dovish) plus Beth Hammack and Lorie Logan (hawkish).

XRP reserves on centralized exchanges have plummeted to their lowest levels since 2018, dropping from approximately 4 billion tokens at the start of 2025 to around 1.6 billion by December. This dramatic withdrawal has ignited fervent discussion within the crypto community about a potential supply shock that could catalyze a significant price rally in 2026.
However, a deeper analysis reveals a nuanced picture. Critical examination of data coverage, historical precedents, and the dynamics o

Pi Network recently completed a major upgrade to its mainnet protocol v23, integrating Stellar Core v23.0.1 to enhance network security, scalability, and smart contract functionality, aiming to build a more robust community-driven digital economy infrastructure for over 15.3 million "pioneer" users who have migrated to the mainnet.
Meanwhile, the core project team released an official timeline review from 2019 to 2025, outlining the gradual development path from mobile mining experiments to the open mainnet launch. However, at the market level, its native asset Pi Coin is currently trading around $0.20, down more than 93% from its all-time high, and faces potential selling pressure from the approximately 134 million tokens unlocking in January 2026. Short-term price forecasts vary significantly, and the long-term value of Pi Coin will ultimately depend on its actual utility within the ecosystem and adoption by mainstream trading platforms.

Pi coin plummeted 87% after reaching a high of $2.98 in February 2025. In October, it dropped to a low of $0.1585 and is currently trading at $0.209. Analysts point out the core weakness: when Bitcoin rises, Pi coin rises slowly; when Bitcoin falls, Pi coin falls quickly. The January token unlock and the lack of transparency in the roadmap have intensified market panic.

On the night of January 2, 2026, the US military deployed over 150 fighter jets to raid Venezuela, dragging the sleeping Maduro couple out of their bedroom and arresting them, then transporting them to New York. Trump immediately announced the takeover of oil facilities. Historian Salas straightforwardly stated that drug charges are a cover-up; the real motive is to regain control of the world's largest oil reserves (3.03 trillion barrels), marking a militarized return of "Tango-Roism."

In 2025, Bitcoin's annual line first declined after the halving, breaking the traditional 4-year cycle rule. The core reason is that the US PMI indicator continues to hover in the neutral 46-50 range. Based on the cyclical decline pattern, 2026 may face a 60% to 65% retracement, with a target price of $42,000 to $48,000. The decisive factor is whether the PMI can rebound above 51 in the second half of the year.

When Bitcoin prices surged past the key psychological threshold of in early 2026, the market welcomed a heavyweight "bullish flag bearer." Veteran cryptocurrency trader James Wynn publicly disclosed that he has established a Bitcoin long position with up to 40x leverage, holding 124.18 BTC, worth approximately $11.5 million.
This aggressive move coincided with a significant shift in market sentiment: the cryptocurrency fear and greed index returned to "neutral" for the first time since October last year, and Bitcoin spot ETF funds experienced a renewed net inflow. This move is not only a high-risk bet but also seen as a strong endorsement of the market narrative that the "Bitcoin four-year cycle has ended, and a new bull market is beginning," sparking widespread discussions about whether the market has entered a new phase.

The Federal Reserve and the market have a serious divergence in the interest rate outlook for 2026. The market expects 2 to 3 rate cuts (Polymarket shows a 94% chance of a rate cut in June), but the Federal Reserve has only hinted at one rate cut. Trump's push for rate cuts was countered by inflation, causing economic policy approval ratings to drop to 36%. As the midterm elections approach, it has fallen into an impossible triangle of rate cuts, inflation, and elections.

In 2018, Maduro issued the world's first national-level cryptocurrency, Petro, claiming each token was backed by one barrel of oil and priced at $60. This experiment to counter US sanctions ended disastrously, with holders losing all value by January 2024. The technical specifications were repeatedly changed from Ethereum to NEM and then to a private chain, with constant delays, resulting in a fully centralized system that was oil-backed but unexchangeable. In 2023, a corruption scandal erupted, with billions of dollars stolen by officials.

After the Ethereum network experienced the "Fusaka" upgrade in early December 2025, on-chain activity saw a dramatic resurgence. According to Glassnode data, the number of new daily addresses surged by 110%, reaching approximately 292,000, the fastest growth rate since the 2024 bull market. Market participants interpret this growth as driven by structural adoption fueled by technological upgrades rather than short-term speculation.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin further claimed that through the combination of Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (ZKEVM) and PeerDAS technology, Ethereum has successfully solved the "Impossible Triangle" that has plagued the blockchain industry for a decade, achieving a fundamental breakthrough in decentralization, security, and high scalability.

After experiencing the rollercoaster of 2025, the crypto venture capital market is standing at a critical crossroads. Although the total traditional VC investment has rebounded to $18.9 billion, the number of deals has plummeted by approximately 60% year-over-year, with funds highly concentrated in later-stage projects and DAT companies. Looking ahead to 2026, top investors generally expect the market to continue its rationality and discipline, with early-stage investments only experiencing a mild recovery, and token sales serving as a supplementary fundraising method. This article will delve into the underlying logic behind capital flows and reveal the certainty tracks and potential risks that institutions see in the coming year.

In early 2026, the meme coin market cap increased by 30%, breaking $47 billion, with a daily trading volume of $9.2 billion. DOGE rose 20%, SHIB increased 18.9%, and PEPE surged 65.6%. Compared to altcoins (TOTAL3), which only increased by 7.5%, this indicates a shift of funds toward speculative assets. Analysts point out that the US IRS does not apply the 30-day wash sale rule to cryptocurrencies, leading investors to re-enter the market immediately in January after year-end tax clearing.
