Shiba Inu rallies 26%, but whales quietly step aside – What happens now?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) rallied 26% in early January, boosted by Bitcoin's surge above $90k. Despite the price increase, on-chain data indicates that large holders (whales) have been reducing their holdings since late November, suggesting the rally is driven by short-term hype rather than strong accumulation. The top 10 wallets control 62.65% of the supply, though 41% is permanently locked in a burn address. Key support lies at $0.0000085–$0.0000087; a drop below $0.0000078 could signal bearish momentum returning. Low recent on-chain movement implies room for growth, but whale distribution remains a cautionary signal.

Bitcoin’s price could be hit by Venezuela’s 3% BTC reserve: Here’s how

Venezuela holds an estimated 600,000 to 660,000 Bitcoin (BTC), roughly 3% of its total supply. If the U.S. seizes these coins following the potential capture of President Maduro, they could be frozen in legal proceedings for years, effectively removing them from circulation. This scenario is viewed as bullish for Bitcoin, as it would reduce liquid supply and reinforce its scarcity narrative. A large-scale fire sale is unlikely due to political and strategic risks. The market has shown little panic, with Bitcoin demonstrating resilience to macroeconomic shocks. The holdings rival those of major corporate and ETF accumulators, and their freeze could have a more significant impact than Germany’s recent BTC sales.

XRP exchange supply hits 8-year low – Rally setup or false hope?

XRP exchange supply has dropped to 1.6 billion tokens, an 8-year low, reducing immediate sell pressure and signaling a shift toward long-term holding. Despite routine escrow releases, Ripple consistently re-locks most tokens, minimizing net new supply. This structural change supports price stability below $2 and reduces downside risk, but a sustained rally requires increased demand, regulatory clarity, and favorable market conditions. Key factors like the CLARITY Act, ETF speculation, and broader crypto trends will influence XRP's direction in the coming weeks.

Ripple Ushers In New Year With Sell-Offs: 1,000,000,000 XRP Makes Its Way Out Of Escrow

Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow on January 1, 2026, in three transactions totaling $1.84 billion, amid concerns of increased sell pressure following XRP's negative December close. However, on-chain data shows Ripple quickly relocked 700 million XRP into new escrow contracts within hours, continuing its practice of mitigating supply shocks. The market impact is expected to hinge on how much of the remaining 300 million XRP is sold on exchanges rather than the unlock itself.

Will Chainlink reserve’s buying strategy offset rising leverage risk?

Chainlink's reserve recently added 94,267 LINK, reinforcing its strategy to reduce circulating tokens and ease sell pressure. While this supports long-term stability, it hasn't triggered immediate price gains. Spot inflows have significantly declined, indicating weaker organic demand and thinner order books. However, Open Interest rose 8.61%, suggesting growing speculative leverage. This buildup increases fragility and volatility risk, especially with dense liquidation clusters below current prices. For a sustained upward move, spot demand must return to support leveraged positions; otherwise, short-term pullbacks are likely before any meaningful price expansion.

XRP Supply On Exchanges Crash To 8-Year Lows, But Why Is Price Still Below $2?

XRP's supply on cryptocurrency exchanges has plummeted to an eight-year low of 1.6 million tokens, a 57% decline from late 2025. This significant reduction in readily available supply, typically a bullish signal, has not translated into a sustained price increase. Despite the potential for a supply shock, XRP's price remains stuck below $2, struggling to maintain upward momentum. The article attributes this disconnect to persistent selling pressure, negative investor sentiment, weaker demand, and repeated rejections at key resistance levels. Furthermore, over half of the circulating supply is held at a loss, increasing the risk of panic selling. These factors, combined with a broader market slowdown affecting major cryptocurrencies, have kept XRP in a downward trend with no immediate rebound in sight.

XRP’s supply squeeze builds despite $1B escrow release – Here’s why!

Despite a bearish overall outlook for 2025, XRP's market is showing signs of a potential supply squeeze. While a 36% Q4 drop erased all H1 gains, key on-chain metrics suggest underlying resilience. Exchange reserves dropped significantly, with $300 million worth of XRP leaving exchanges in Q4 alone, falling from 3 billion to 2.6 billion for the year. This is occurring even as a routine $1 billion escrow release adds potential selling pressure, with typically 20% of unlocked tokens hitting the market. Technically, XRP has consolidated around $1.80 for weeks, and derivatives data shows a strong 70%+ long skew, indicating traders are positioning for an upside and potentially frontrunning a local bottom. Regulatory progress provides a further tailwind for the asset.

XRP adoption rises as ETF inflows absorb supply – Signals to watch into 2026

XRP adoption is intensifying as institutional ETF inflows steadily absorb supply, reducing exchange balances to a seven-year low of 1.6 billion tokens. Despite trading near $1.87 with muted price action, on-chain and derivatives signals strengthen. The XRP Ledger ranks as the second fastest-growing real-world asset network, outpacing Ethereum and Solana. However, overhead liquidity near $2.50–$3.20 continues to cap upside momentum, keeping XRP range-bound. Key factors to watch include sustained ETF demand, expanding infrastructure adoption, and a potential breakout requiring broader market participation.

Bitmine Expands Ethereum Holdings: Adds 32,938 ETH And Stakes Nearly 119K ETH

Despite a struggling Ethereum market marked by apathy and persistent selling pressure, institutional entity Bitmine has significantly expanded its long-term commitment. Acquiring 32,938 ETH (worth ~$97.6 million) and staking an additional 118,944 ETH (~$352.16 million), Bitmine now holds approximately 3.357 million ETH valued at around $10 billion. This large-scale staking removes substantial ETH from liquid circulation, tightening supply. While the broader market remains cautious and ETH price action is weak, Bitmine's actions signal strong long-term confidence, contrasting with the current bearish sentiment. Analysts are divided on whether this indicates early positioning for a recovery or if macro headwinds will prolong the current consolidation.

XRP Demand And Price Are Set To Surge In 2026 As These Factors Play Out

A crypto expert predicts 2026 will be a breakthrough year for XRP, driven by several key factors. The approval and accumulation of XRP Spot ETFs, which already hold over 350 million XRP, are attracting institutional capital and reducing liquidity. Supply dynamics are also favorable, with fewer XRP available on exchanges creating structural pressure for price gains. The growing utility of the XRP Ledger, supporting stablecoins, tokenization, and institutional DeFi, is expected to increase on-chain activity and adoption. Additionally, Ripple’s expanding institutional infrastructure, improved regulatory clarity following its legal resolution with the SEC, and the need for faster settlements are encouraging broader institutional use. These elements combined could position XRP for significant demand and price growth in 2026.
