Ozak AI’s Presale Surge Gains Global Attention — A Detailed Examination of What Makes This Token One of the Strongest Contenders for 2026–2029 Growth

Bitcoin shorts drop 82%, hedge funds cut exposure – Rally or more caution?

Leveraged hedge funds have reduced their Bitcoin futures short positions on the CME by 82%, from $444 million in August to $78 million by mid-January. While this decline may appear bullish, analysts caution that these funds engage in basis trades—buying spot ETFs while shorting futures—and the recent drop in yield from 10% to 5% has made these positions less attractive. Consequently, reduced short exposure may not necessarily signal a bullish trend unless accompanied by renewed spot ETF inflows. Recent ETF outflows totaled $1.33 billion, reflecting weakened institutional demand. However, easing geopolitical risks and potential liquidity injections could support a short-term BTC recovery. At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $89.7k.

Grayscale Registers for U.S. Spot BNB ETF Following VanEck Proposal

Grayscale has filed with the U.S. SEC to launch a spot BNB ETF, named the Grayscale BNB Trust (ticker: GBNB), aiming to list on Nasdaq. The filing, submitted on January 23, would allow investors to gain exposure to BNB without holding the token directly. Coinbase is designated as the prime broker and custodian. This marks the second BNB ETF proposal, following an earlier application by VanEck in April 2025. Both are still under SEC review and require further regulatory approval. Following the news, BNB’s price saw minor fluctuations, trading around $890. Grayscale also recently filed for a NEAR Trust ETF, signaling its expanded focus on altcoin ETFs.

XRP Trend Still Coherent On Binance As CVD Correlation Remains Supportive

XRP is attempting to stabilize above $1.90 after falling below $2.00, creating market uncertainty. Analysts are divided on whether this is a bearish continuation or a temporary pullback before a rebound. A key insight from Binance data shows a 30-day correlation of 0.61 between XRP’s price and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), indicating a moderate to strong positive relationship. This suggests recent price movements are supported by actual trading activity rather than noise, lending structural coherence to the trend. Although the positive correlation remains, the latest CVD reading is still negative, reflecting ongoing selling pressure rather than net buying dominance. This metric acts as a confirmation tool—assessing trend quality and internal market alignment—rather than a direct trading signal. The current correlation strength implies XRP may be in a base-building phase, with gradual absorption of selling pressure rather than aggressive distribution. If correlation weakens during price recoveries, it could signal underlying weakness and potential reversals. For now, the market shows balanced, coherent behavior amid volatility.

Can KAIA crypto target $0.10 next after a 39% daily surge?

Kaia (KAIA) broke out of an eight-month downtrend, surging 39.7% in 24 hours to trade at $0.079 after hitting a two-month high of $0.084. The rally was fueled by its integration into the Web3 game 'Magic Squad,' which introduced a gas abstraction feature allowing users to pay fees without holding KAIA tokens. This development attracted significant buying activity, with a positive Buy-Sell Delta of 4 million and a 430% jump in trading volume to $106 million. Futures market participation also soared, with Open Interest up 279% and a Long/Short Ratio of 1.04 indicating bullish sentiment. Technical indicators like the RSI at 70 and a bullish DMI crossover suggest potential for further gains toward $0.10-$0.11, though a retracement to $0.06 is possible if profit-taking occurs.
