Nevada Fails To Stop Coinbase Prediction Markets: $LIQUID Brings Liquidity Together

Nevada regulators have encountered an early setback in their attempt to block Coinbase from operating prediction markets, suggesting that federal commodity definitions may override state-level gambling classifications. This development could pave the way for institutional capital to enter the prediction market sector, significantly increasing trading volume compared to offshore platforms. However, the current infrastructure remains fragmented, with liquidity isolated across different blockchains. LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is presented as a solution, offering a Layer-3 infrastructure that unifies Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana into a single execution environment to eliminate this friction. The project's ongoing presale, having raised over $527K, reflects growing investor interest in interoperability infrastructure that can support the next wave of DeFi applications.

Aperture Finance Loses $3.67M in Exploit, Hacker Deposits Funds Through Tornado Cash

Aperture Finance suffered a security breach on January 25, 2026, resulting in a loss of approximately $3.67 million. The exploit targeted specific versions of its smart contracts (V3 and V4), allowing the hacker to steal funds by exploiting vulnerabilities in contract approvals and function calls. The attacker subsequently deposited 1,242.7 ETH (worth around $2.4 million) into Tornado Cash, likely to obscure the transaction trail. In response, Aperture Finance disabled affected web app functions, released a security analysis, and urged users to revoke all related ERC-20 and ERC-721 approvals connected to the compromised addresses.

EverValue Announces Burn Vault Boost Upgrade to Its On-Chain Backing Mechanism

EverValue (EVA) has announced the launch of the Burn Vault Boost upgrade on February 6, enhancing its existing on-chain backing and burn mechanism. This new feature introduces an additional vault that operates alongside the original Burn Vault Core. Instead of distributing Bitcoin (BTC) backing uniformly across the entire token supply, the Boost applies it to a predefined subset of tokens. This change is designed to increase the sensitivity of the reference burn value to BTC deposits over time. The Burn Vault Core continues to back the full circulating supply of EVA, while the Boost complements it by altering how backing is distributed. The upgrade is implemented via on-chain smart contracts, with all backing levels and reference values publicly verifiable. User participation is passive and requires no action beyond holding tokens. The mechanism has undergone a security audit by CertiK. EverValue is an on-chain protocol that integrates Bitcoin mining with a fixed-supply token model and transparent backing mechanics.

Bitcoin prices fall: Will 2026 mirror BTC’s 2022 bear market?

Bitcoin's 2026 market is showing signs of a potential bear market similar to 2022, but with key differences. According to analysis, this post-halving cycle is the weakest on record, with a -6.3% ROI in 2025, starkly underperforming previous cycles. The rise of ETFs has dampened scarcity-led rallies, with institutional outflows capping upside potential. Unlike the 2018 and 2022 bear markets that followed massive rallies, the current 20% price drop is driven by loss realization rather than a post-euphoria correction. On-chain data, including UTXOs in Loss and negative Net Realized Profit/Loss, mirrors stress levels last seen in 2022, reinforcing the view that 2026 could be the softest post-halving bear market yet.

Buterin Offloads $ETH As Prices Dip: Why Capital’s Rotating Into The $MAXI Presale

Vitalik Buterin's recent transfer of $ETH to exchanges has created bearish sentiment, despite the amounts being relatively small. This signals a 'risk-off' environment for major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, as liquidity rotates into higher-risk, high-reward assets. Capital is moving towards meme coins, with Maxi Doge ($MAXI) emerging as a primary beneficiary. $MAXI leverages a high-risk trading culture-focused narrative, offering gamified trading competitions and staking rewards with a dynamic APY of 68%. Its presale has raised over $4.5M, attracting investors seeking aggressive returns decoupled from slower-moving Layer-1 tokens.

Bitcoin Treasuries An ‘Explosion Waiting To Happen,’ Capriole Founder Warns

Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards warns that the rapid growth of Bitcoin Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies—now numbering 200—is a "leverage explosion waiting to happen." Comparing DATs to the 1920s investment trust bubble, Edwards notes these firms, which hold 12% of all Bitcoin, face unsustainable model for yield on a fixed-supply asset. With many having bought at bull market prices, recent downturns have pressured their holdings. Edwards cautions that an unwind could dwarf the collapses of Luna and FTX. Bitcoin is trading around $74,500, down 16% over the past week.

Trilemma Troubles No More: $HYPER Solves Problems of Old; Bitcoin Eyes $120K

Bitcoin ($BTC) is consolidating near the $75K resistance, with a bullish outlook driven by institutional ETF inflows and a favorable macro environment. Technical analysis suggests a potential breakout toward $120K if key resistance levels are breached, though a failure to hold support could trigger a correction. However, Bitcoin faces scalability challenges due to the Blockchain Trilemma. This has increased interest in infrastructure solutions like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Bitcoin Layer 2 integrating Solana’s Virtual Machine to enable high-speed, programmable DeFi on Bitcoin. Having raised over $31M, $HYPER is attracting smart money, positioning it as a high-potential scalability solution amid Bitcoin bull market dynamics.

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.

South Korean Authorities Question Crypto Exchange Executives Over Lawmaker’s ‘Favoritism’ Controversy

South Korean police have summoned executives from major crypto exchanges, including Upbit's parent company Dunamu and Bithumb, as part of an investigation into allegations of favoritism by independent lawmaker Kim Byung-kee. He is accused of seeking employment for his son at these firms and then using his political position to attack Dunamu, Upbit's operator, after his son was hired at Bithumb. The investigation coincides with the Financial Services Commission's controversial proposal to impose a 15%-20% ownership cap on crypto exchange major shareholders, a move opposed by the industry and the ruling party for potentially hindering growth and conflicting with global standards.
