Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – DEXE, ASTEROID, DASH, RAVE

Notably, this comes after ten straight green weeks, reinforcing a strong bullish structure. This week’s move, however, was important on the chart. 

From the technical standpoint, DEXE broke above the $13 resistance level, which it had previously lost during the pre-October crash last year. The breakout has also brought in some FOMO, with traders now eyeing potential continuation into next week.

But it’s not fully one-way momentum.

The RSI is now in overbought territory, which usually signals the move is getting a bit overheated and could cool off. On top of that, price is approaching the $15 resistance zone, a level it hasn’t reclaimed since early June 2025, so that’s the next key test.

Stablecoins can help businesses turn costs into revenue, Paxos Labs cofounder saysStablecoins, the $300 billion class of digital dollars, may have started as a faster way to move money across the globe, but companies are now asking a different question: what can they actually do with them?
That shift is driving a new phase of adoption, according to Chunda McCain, co-founder of Paxos Labs, who says the industry is moving beyond basic infrastructure toward real business use cases.
"The first step was getting a stablecoin," McCain said in an interview with CoinDesk. "The next question is: what now?"

7 out of 7 times’ – Why Bitcoin beats Gold and S&P 500 in every crisis

Similar patterns were seen in the Russia-Ukraine war, the U.S.-Iran war of 2026, and also during the U.S. banking crisis.

However, it was only in 2024, when a Yen carry trade unwind led to gold surging by 9% and the S&P 500 surging by 7%, whereas BTC was up by only 3%.

For context, back then, the Bank of Japan’s rate hike and weak U.S. data led to increased appreciation of the Yen. 

The comparison chart of these assets based on 60-day return highlighted how Bitcoin was the only asset to bounce back. 

Remarking on the same, the Bitcoin Archive account took to X and noted,

Since the "Rollup as a Service" (RaaS) era, the fate of L1 has been sealed. This is a harbinger of the execution layer spiraling into commoditization.

I mean, the general L1 token will continue to approach zero, and likely without exception. I will try to explain why, and how I would change course if I were an L1 operator.

The main drivers of L1's failure are: linear token release, a flawed value proposition, poor governance, and industry "leadership."

I will briefly elaborate on these points—these are personal opinions, not definitive conclusions.

The current form of linear staking release has some advantages, namely distribution through liquidity staking ("My 7% annualized!"), but it fails in several key areas.

Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) makes it easy for theoretical "decentralization fundamentalists" to participate in cybersecurity, but it doesn't properly incentivize insiders, users, and developers. At best, it incentivizes people to hold tokens, offering no real value creation.

 The classic argument I've heard about PoS is that large validators have an economic incentive not to dump their tokens on you. But this doesn't stop them from selling every possible unlocked amount and block reward.

This leads to my next point: they sell because L1 tokens lack a long-term value proposition.

A fragile "tissue"

The arguments about "gas tokens" and "governance" are old hat and utterly unconvincing—like two Bounty tissues, they fall apart with a single soak. The value of a network token depends on what you can buy with it.

Therefore, the goal of all blockchain teams should be to promote their tokens as widely as possible as possible as a form of currency. In the pursuit of higher TPS and lower block times, the industry's vision of "peer-to-peer electronic cash" seems to have been lost.

On April 18th, Kelp DAO's cross-chain bridge was attacked. The attacker minted 116,500 rsETH without any real asset backing, deposited them into Aave, and lent them out as WETH. Aave Guardian initiated an emergency freeze within hours. According to Lookonchain's on-chain estimates, Aave V3 and V4 face potential bad debts of approximately $195 million.

In contrast, SparkLend, a lending protocol within the MakerDAO (Sky) ecosystem, suffered no losses.

This is not because Spark's team is smarter than Aave's, nor because they foresaw the vulnerability in the cross-chain bridge. Spark's reason for withdrawing from rsETH, stated in a governance forum post three months prior, has nothing to do with the bridge contract's security.

January 29th, 2026, is the core date of this article. On this day, Spark executed a governance operation called Spell, stopping the access of new rsETH supplies.  On the same day, Aave officially launched rsETH E-Mode, allowing users to borrow WETH using rsETH as collateral, with a maximum collateralization-to-value (LTV) ratio of 93%.

One exit, one expansion, both on the same day.

Spark's decision to exit began with a governance post submitted by PhoenixLabs (Spark's ecosystem executive) on January 16, 2026. The reason for exiting was straightforward: rsETH usage was low, with almost all usage coming from a single wallet (on-chain address 0xb99a), and the holder of this wallet had indicated a willingness to use wstETH or weETH as alternative collateral. The original governance post stated, "Exiting rsETH can improve SparkLend's safety margin and increase risk-adjusted returns." This was a periodic asset cleanup, with tBTC, ezETH, and the entire Gnosis Chain market also exiting in the same batch, all citing "low usage" as the unified reason.

 Aave's expansion decision originated even earlier, stemming from a proposal initiated
