Crypto Dream Turns Nightmare As SafeMoon CEO Gets 100 Months In Jail

SafeMoon CEO Braden John Karony has been sentenced to 100 months in US federal prison after being convicted on charges of securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. Prosecutors proved that Karony and others misled investors by falsely claiming that SafeMoon’s liquidity pools were locked, while secretly diverting over $9 million for personal use, including luxury homes and vehicles. The fraud severely impacted small investors, including military veterans and hard-working Americans. The court has ordered forfeiture of approximately $7.5 million, with restitution proceedings ongoing to return funds. The case highlights continued law enforcement focus on prosecuting crypto-related fraud.

Bitcoin Sell-Off Goes Largely Unabsorbed: Fresh Capital Is Missing

Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim key resistance levels amid weakening market demand and persistent capital outflows. According to a CryptoQuant report, new investor inflows have turned negative, with cumulative 30-day flows dropping to approximately –$2.6 billion. This indicates that the current sell-off is not being absorbed by fresh capital, contrasting with typical bull-market corrections where dips attract new buyers. Instead, the market shows signs of a transitional phase often seen after a cycle peak, with price movements driven by internal capital rotation rather than new inflows. Without sustained demand, any upward price action is likely corrective rather than indicative of a trend reversal, suggesting continued resistance and volatility until new capital enters the market.

Are Cardano Investors Exiting? ADA Open Interest Collapses In Sudden Derivatives Reset

Cardano (ADA) is experiencing a significant decline, with its price dropping to as low as $0.22 amid a broader crypto market correction. This downturn is reflected in its derivatives market, where Open Interest (OI) has sharply collapsed from around $1.6 billion to $334 million, indicating a sudden unwind of leveraged positions and reduced speculative activity. Market expert Joao Wedson notes that the structure of open interest has flipped, with Binance's dominance dropping from over 80% in 2023 to just 22%, while Gate.io now leads with 31%. This fragmentation suggests a loss of upward momentum for ADA, as concentrated leverage on major exchanges like Binance has historically driven altcoin rallies. Despite the current weakness, some analysts view ADA's price level as a long-term accumulation range, potentially setting the stage for a bullish continuation targeting $2 to $3, or even $6 to $10 in a strong altcoin season. Cardano remains one of the most active chains in development, focusing on governance, scaling, and real-world utility.

India’s Crypto Policy Under Scrutiny as Chadha Pushes for VDA Legal Recognition

Indian AAP MP Raghav Chadha urged the Indian government to legally recognize Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) as a formal asset class during a Rajya Sabha address. He highlighted the inconsistency in the current approach where crypto profits are taxed—1% TDS and 30% flat tax—yet lack legal status. This ambiguity has eroded investor confidence, driven an estimated 12 crore Indian investors to offshore platforms, and caused 180 VDA startups to relocate abroad. Chadha noted that 73% of crypto trading volume has moved offshore in FY25, resulting in significant tax revenue loss. He proposed a new licensing law to enhance consumer protection, enforce AML measures, and potentially recover ₹15,000–20,000 crores in annual tax revenue through clear regulation.

Bitcoin’s Latest Selloff Mirrors June 2022 As New Buyers Realize $1.5 Billion In Daily Losses

Bitcoin's recent selloff has triggered significant loss realization among recent investors, mirroring patterns seen during the June 2022 market bottom. According to on-chain data, buyers from 2025 and 2026 realized approximately $1.5 billion in daily losses during the downturn. The Net Realised Profit/Loss metric, which tracks net profit or loss from transactions, plunged into negative territory for these cohorts. While newer investors were selling at a loss, older investors largely took profits. Additionally, the Relative Unrealized Loss—unrealized loss as a percentage of market cap—rose to 16%, a level comparable to the May 2022 bear market. Bitcoin is currently trading around $69,300, down over 11% in the past week.

Bitcoin Is Back In The Spotlight As Online Searches Surge

Bitcoin has surged back into public attention as global Google searches for the term reached a one-year high during the week of February 1, 2026. This spike in interest aligns with significant price volatility, with Bitcoin swinging from around $81,500 to $64,000 before recovering to the low $70,000s. Analysts interpret increased search activity as a sign of returning retail investor interest, which often accompanies sharp market movements. While heightened attention can amplify short-term price pressure, it remains uncertain whether this will lead to sustained demand or remain a short-lived trend. Current trading price is noted at $70,836.

Solana – Why ETF money is still coming despite SOL’s price action

Solana (SOL) is presenting conflicting market signals. While its price and derivatives appear weak, with SOL trading around $87.17 and showing a lack of momentum, spot Solana ETFs are experiencing consistent capital inflows. Data from SoSoValue reveals that total net assets in these ETFs have climbed to $674 million, suggesting long-term investor confidence despite recent price declines. This indicates a divergence between short-term trader sentiment, which remains bearish with negative funding rates and reduced open interest, and the patient, accumulation strategy of ETF buyers. Although these inflows don't confirm a trend reversal, their consistency could eventually support a market stabilization, contrasting with the current cautious derivatives landscape.

Has the Bitcoin market priced in Kevin Warsh’s nomination?

Politics and crypto are increasingly intertwined, as seen with Trump's pro-crypto stance influencing markets. The nomination of Kevin Warsh as potential Fed Chair has introduced uncertainty, causing Bitcoin to drop 14% in a week. While Warsh is seen as bullish on rate cuts, his plan to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet has raised concerns about tighter liquidity. This has led investors to turn cautious, impacting not just crypto but U.S. assets broadly. Despite expectations of rate cuts, Bitcoin's performance remains weak due to persistent inflation, macro uncertainties, and Trump's tariff policies. The market appears more bearish than bullish, as the full implications of Warsh’s potential policies are not yet priced in.

Chainlink: Are investors buying the fear amid LINK’s 12% drop?

Chainlink (LINK) experienced a sharp 12.75% price drop, breaking below a key $8.35 support level held since October 2023. Despite the bearish sentiment and rising trading volume indicating fear, on-chain data reveals contrasting investor behavior. U.S. spot LINK ETFs saw a $1.18 million inflow, and exchange reserves decreased significantly, suggesting potential accumulation as tokens move to private wallets. The price is testing a crucial support near $7.20; holding above it could lead to a reversal, while a break may trigger a further 20% decline to $5.85. Derivatives data shows traders are heavily positioned for more downside, reflecting prevailing bearishness.

Tether Scraps $20 Billion Funding Ambitions Due To Investor Opposition

Cryptocurrency giant Tether has significantly scaled back its fundraising ambitions, reducing its target from an initial $15–20 billion to potentially as low as $5 billion. This shift follows investor resistance to the company's proposed $500 billion valuation. CEO Paolo Ardoino clarified that the $500 billion figure was a maximum valuation cap, not a firm target, and noted that internal reluctance from existing shareholders to sell equity has complicated efforts to structure a larger round. Despite the fundraising challenges, Tether reported strong 2025 net profits exceeding $10 billion and continues to expand its USDT stablecoin supply, which now circulates approximately $186 billion. The company has also diversified its reserves, including significant gold purchases, and launched a new dollar-pegged stablecoin, USA₮, for the U.S. market.
