From ‘ghost chain’ claims to 20% surge – What’s happening to Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is experiencing a significant surge, rising nearly 20% amid renewed optimism and notable developments. The upcoming Leios upgrade, a long-term initiative extending into 2026, is progressing well, with the main improvement proposal 67% complete and technical design at 46%. Additionally, Grayscale’s portfolio rebalance has boosted ADA’s credibility, as it at 18.55% of the Grayscale Smart Contract Fund, behind only Ethereum and Solana. Despite the strong rally pushing ADA close to $0.40, selling pressure has emerged near this level. The RSI is neutral around 50, and the CMF has dipped slightly below zero, indicating slowing capital inflows. However, trading volume remains healthy, suggesting continued trader interest. The market appears cautious about whether the upward momentum will sustain or stall. Overall, Cardano’s rally is supported by tangible network progress, but further price movement will depend on continued follow-through.

Ripple’s XRP Suffers Another Blow As WisdomTree Pulls ETF Application

WisdomTree has withdrawn its application for an XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), dealing a significant blow to Ripple's XRP. The withdrawal, filed with the SEC under Rule 477, comes just over a month after the application was submitted in December 2024. This decision triggered a sharp decline in XRP's price, erasing recent gains. The move is surprising given WisdomTree's success with its Spot Bitcoin ETF and highlights the challenges of launching new crypto investment products. Following the news, XRP ETFs experienced their first net outflows since launch, totaling approximately $40.8 million on January 7, 2026, reducing cumulative net inflows from $1.25 billion to $1.2 billion.

TRON is growing fast, but TRX isn’t rising at all – Why?

TRON (TRX) is experiencing significant network growth, with weekly transactions consistently reaching tens of millions, primarily driven by USDT transfers and routine payments. Despite this high utility and increased protocol revenue from fee burns and staking, the price of TRX has remained relatively stagnant, especially compared to other cryptocurrencies posting double-digit gains. Recent developments, such as Wirex building an on-chain payment layer on TRON and Zerion integrating TRON into its multi-chain wallet, highlight the network's expanding use cases. Additionally, TRON's collaboration in combating financial crime has been recognized as effective. However, these advancements have not translated into strong price momentum, as traders appear more focused on short-term gains rather than utility-driven growth, keeping TRX's price action contained.

Truebit protocol confirms security incident as exploit drains over $26m in ETH

Truebit protocol confirmed a security breach on January 7, resulting in a loss of over 8,500 ETH (approximately $26 million). The exploit targeted a pricing flaw in a smart contract function that allowed attackers to mint tokens for free and drain ETH reserves through rapid buy-sell loops. Most stolen funds were consolidated into a single address, with half quickly routed through Tornado Cash. The TRU token price collapsed by over 60% following the incident. Truebit is working with law enforcement and has urged users to avoid interacting with the affected contract. The attack reflects a broader trend of rising crypto-related crime driven by economic incentives.

Ethereum’s BPO fork: How it will shape ETH’s 2026 prediction

Ethereum's BPO fork increases the blob limit per block from 15 to 21, a key upgrade for its Layer 2 scaling strategy. This provides L2s like Arbitrum with more data capacity, which enhances scalability and reduces transaction costs for users. Crucially, it strengthens Ethereum's economic model by creating a feedback loop: increased L2 activity generates more fee revenue that flows back to the Ethereum mainnet, offsetting previous revenue declines from lower fees. This strategic move supports growing on-chain adoption and solidifies Ethereum's fundamentals, positioning it strongly for 2026.

Optimism proposes OP token buybacks using superchain revenue

The Optimism Foundation has proposed a governance plan to allocate 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue to monthly OP token buybacks for an initial 12-month period, starting in February if approved in a vote on 22 January. This marks a shift from OP’s role as a governance token toward one with demand tied to aggregate network activity across OP Stack chains like Base and OP Mainnet. The initiative is designed as a pilot to test whether routing sequencer revenue to buybacks can create sustainable alignment between usage and token economics, without targeting short-term price impact. The outcome may influence how other L2s approach value capture in low-fee environments.

As SKR launches, Solana tests whether mobile users stick onchain

Solana Mobile is launching its SKR token on January 21, marking a critical test of whether mobile-first user distribution can lead to sustained onchain activity. Following the Seeker Season campaign, which engaged over 100,000 users and generated 9 million transactions, the SKR launch shifts focus from initial user acquisition to long-term retention. The tokenomics emphasize early user participation, with 40% of the 10 billion supply unlocked at launch primarily through airdrops. An inflationary model starting at 10% annually encourages early engagement before tapering. The success of SKR will be measured not by its price, but by its ability to convert mobile users into a durable source of onchain demand for the Solana network, strengthening transaction volume and fee generation.

The Most Rapidly Expanding Stablecoin Recently Is Actually a Trump Family Pawn

USD1, a rapidly expanding stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has seen its market capitalization surge to $3.37 billion, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin. Its recent growth is largely attributed to aggressive incentive strategies, including a 20% APY promotion on Binance and direct treasury-funded adoption incentives approved through governance. Despite being listed on major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Upbit, USD1’s trading liquidity remains significantly behind established stablecoins like USDT and USDC. For instance, BTC/USD1 trading volumes are substantial but still trail leading pairs. The stablecoin also experienced high volatility and temporary price deviations due to thin liquidity in its early trading pairs. USD1 is primarily issued on BSC and Ethereum, with limited presence on Solana despite announced ecosystem partnerships. WLFI has applied to establish a federally regulated trust bank to enhance USD1’s compliance and institutional adoption. Backed by dollar-denominated reserves and custodied by BitGo, USD1 aims to serve cross-border payments and DeFi, though it carries risks including regulatory constraints and limited direct redemption access. The project has notable affiliations with the Trump family.

Zcash Cryptocurrency Price Crashes 20% in a Few Hours. Here's Why

The price of Zcash (ZEC) plummeted by approximately 20% in a matter of hours, falling below $400 for the first time since mid-December. This sharp decline was triggered by the announcement that the entire development team from the Electric Coin Company (ECC) is leaving the project. The departure is a result of an acute conflict with the board of directors of the non-profit Bootstrap organization, which oversees Zcash's development. ECC's CEO, Josh Swihart, stated that changes to their working conditions effectively forced the team out, making it impossible to work effectively within the current structure. The ECC is a primary developer of Zcash and is funded through a "Developer Fund," which allocates roughly 20% of each block reward to support the network. Bootstrap cited governance issues and the need for strict legal compliance for non-profits to protect the project's assets as reasons for the conflict. Despite the management crisis, the Zcash protocol and network itself remain technically unaffected. The ECC team is already forming a new company, though the future funding model for development is unclear. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox commented that the network remains secure and private, and that this managerial conflict does not change that. The article includes a standard disclaimer that it is for informational purposes only and that cryptocurrency is a volatile asset.

GateToken (GT) Destroys 2,163,900 Tokens in Q4 2025, Building a More Robust Token Economic Structure Through Ecosystem Expansion

GateToken (GT) completed its Q4 2025 on-chain token destruction, permanently removing 2,163,900 GT tokens, valued at over $26.92 million. The total number of GT destroyed to date has reached 184,819,426, with a cumulative value exceeding $1.901 billion. As the native utility and gas token of GateChain, GT supports the network’s transfer system and transaction execution. Since the mainnet launch in 2019, GT’s total supply has decreased by approximately 61.61% from its original 300 million tokens due to its ongoing destruction mechanism. With the expansion of Gate’s Layer and Web3 ecosystem—including products like Gate Perp DEX, Gate Fun, Meme Go, and Gate Swap—GT is increasingly integrated as the essential gas token across all on-chain activities. Its usage and consumption continue to grow alongside ecosystem development. Gate remains committed to its deflationary tokenomics, reinforcing GT’s scarcity and value through sustained and compliant destruction. This approach aligns token economics with real on-chain demand and supports long-term ecosystem growth. As part of its All in Web3 strategy, Gate continues to enhance decentralized infrastructure and expand application scenarios, aiming to deliver a secure, efficient, and diverse Web3 experience.
