Injective Passes Vote to Cut INJ Supply and Boost Deflation

The Injective community has overwhelmingly approved governance proposal IIP-617, passing with 99.89% support. This update significantly accelerates the network's deflationary strategy by reducing the rate of new INJ token emissions. It does not introduce a new burn mechanism but instead makes the existing token issuance more restrictive. This change works alongside the ongoing Community BuyBack program, which uses ecosystem revenue to buy and burn INJ on the open market. The proposal is the latest step in Injective's long-term plan to structurally reduce supply, building on previous upgrades like IIP-392. Despite these improved tokenomics, INJ's market performance remains volatile and heavily influenced by broader market sentiment, not just supply dynamics.

Avalanche defends KEY support: Why AVAX traders watch $18 next

Avalanche (AVAX) demonstrates strong momentum, driven by real adoption in DeFi, tokenization, and real-world assets, achieving a milestone of 1.7 million daily active addresses. This growth, supported by institutional interest and filings, reflects rising confidence. Market data shows sustained Taker Buy dominance and whale accumulation around the $12 support level, reinforcing bullish sentiment. AVAX price action suggests an ascending triangle pattern, with potential to break resistance at $15.36 and target $18.52 or higher. However, caution is advised as a drop below $11 could lead to a decline toward $8.60. Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels closely.

Pump.fun Launches Direct Investment, Spending $3 Million to Buy 12 New Memes

Pump.fun, a leading Meme token launch platform, has announced the creation of its investment arm, Pump Fund. The fund will launch its first initiative, the Build in Public (BiP) hackathon, this month. With a total allocation of $3 million, it plans to invest $250,000 into each of 12 new tokens launched on its platform, valuing each project at $10 million.

This marks Pump.fun’s first direct financial endorsement of specific Meme tokens, signaling strong support for promising new projects. The platform, known for its substantial revenue—reportedly over $954.8 million historically—aims to reinvest in the ecosystem beyond token buybacks. The BiP hackathon encourages founders to publicly build products after launching a token on Pump.fun. Key requirements include retaining at least 10% of the token supply and maintaining active communication with supporters via social media and live streams. Project selection will prioritize organic user growth, genuine market appeal, and long-term sustainability over hype. Applications opened on January 19 and will run for 30 days.

Ripple Advances Zero-Knowledge Proofs For The XRP Ledger

RippleX, the development arm of Ripple, is actively prototyping zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) capabilities for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). According to Aanchal Malhotra, Head of Research at RippleX, this initiative aims to introduce "programmable privacy," trust-minimized interoperability, and a scaling model that offloads heavy computation to layer-2 systems while XRPL remains the settlement layer. Malhotra emphasized that integrating ZKPs into XRPL is complex and requires custom development rather than using off-the-shelf solutions. The approach involves a hybrid implementation—some components native for performance, others in a programmability layer for developer choice. Key benefits include selective disclosure for compliance (e.g., proving age without revealing exact data), reducing reliance on trusted intermediaries in cross-chain bridges, and scaling via succinct proof verification on-chain. The goal is to enhance XRPL’s competitiveness without compromising on flexibility or security.

Pendle Announces Token Upgrade to Scale Its DeFi Yield Platform

Pendle, the largest crypto yield trading platform, has announced a major upgrade to its native tokenomics with the introduction of sPENDLE. This update aims to unlock deeper liquidity, diversify revenue streams, and strengthen Pendle’s leadership in on-chain yield and interest rate markets. The upgrade follows a record-breaking performance in 2025, with $5.7B average TVL (up 76% YoY), $4.46B in cumulative protocol fees (up 134% YoY), and $54B in monthly nominal trading volume. Key features of the upgrade include protocol revenue being used to buy back and distribute $PENDLE to active sPENDLE holders, a flexible exit mechanism for sPENDLE (14-day no-penalty or 5% fee for instant redemption), and improved voting via an algorithmic emissions model aimed at reducing PENDLE emissions by 20–30%. The vePENDLE lock mechanism will be paused on January 29. The upgrade also supports Boros, Pendle’s innovative platform for tokenizing perpetual funding rates, which has reached $6.9B in notional open interest and $91M in OI within four months of launch. Pendle aims to bridge DeFi with traditional fixed-income markets, offering tools like Principal Tokens (PT), Yield Tokens (YT), and funding rate derivatives to expand access to global yield opportunities.

Dialogue with Axis: How a Group of Quantitative Traders is Reshaping 'Yield-Bearing Dollars' with Institutional Strategies?

Axis, founded by a team of quantitative traders including Chris (an early QCP Capital employee and co-founder of the $400M+ AUM fund Alphanonce with 35%+ annual returns), is building a protocol to generate sustainable, transparent yield on-chain through institutional-grade arbitrage strategies. The core product is USDx, a dollar-pegged synthetic asset that users can stake to earn yield. Unlike many DeFi protocols that rely on unsustainable token incentives or directional market bets, Axis’s returns are generated from real, verifiable cross-market arbitrage opportunities. The team’s extensive background in traditional finance, quant trading, and DeFi (with experience from firms like BlackRock, Tether, Ondo, and Maple) informs their focus on capital efficiency, rigorous risk management, and institutional security practices. Axis recently raised a $5M private round led by Galaxy Ventures, with participation from OKX Ventures and FalconX. The protocol is built on Plasma, chosen for its deep USDT liquidity and mature DeFi infrastructure, and is currently in a private testing phase ahead of public launch. Key innovations include a dynamic “arbitrage engine” that allocates capital across multiple strategies (not just basis trading) to capture opportunities in various market conditions. The team emphasizes transparency, with plans for on-chain, third-party-verified proof of reserves and delta-neutrality to build trust. Long-term, Axis aims to evolve from a yield generator into critical “liquidity infrastructure” for the on-chain economy, with plans to expand into yield-bearing assets backed by Bitcoin and gold.

Early Trading Made a Fortune? A Comprehensive Guide to Genius's New Rules

**Title: Early Traders Made Huge Gains? Understanding Genius' New Rules** Genius, a highly discussed DEX, announced new GP points rules for its Season 1, ending April 12, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation. The team confirmed that GP points earned from early trading volume remain valid, benefiting users who followed initial interaction guides. Key updates: - Total S1 GP points are fixed at 200 million, with 75 million already distributed from pre-whitepaper trading. The remaining 125 million will be distributed weekly starting January 20, at 10 million GP per week. - Distribution is weighted to prevent whales from dominating, allowing smaller traders to earn points. - Stablecoin swaps (e.g., USDT/USDC) now have a 0.5x weight; other spot trades retain 1.0x. - Previous task-based and referral GP rewards were removed. Now, points are earned solely via spot trading volume. - New trading tiers introduce fee discounts based on cumulative trading volume, though zero-fee trading remains active indefinitely. - Referrals now offer 35% commission on invitees’ trading fees post-zero-fee campaign. - The GENIUS token will be created before April 12, 2026, with a TGE expected randomly before then. Despite platform bugs from high traffic, Genius’ strong backing (including investment from YZi Labs and CZ as advisor) and confirmed TGE make it noteworthy. With a potential $300M FDV and 10% airdrop, each GP point could be worth ~$0.15. Early participants may have profitable opportunities, especially during the ongoing zero-fee period.

PancakeSwap tightens CAKE supply ceiling following tokenomics overhaul

PancakeSwap's community has approved a proposal to reduce the maximum supply of its native CAKE token from 450 million to 400 million. The vote, held from January 16 to 19, 2026, received near-unanimous support. This change follows the implementation of Tokenomics Proposal 3.0 in April 2025, which reduced daily emissions and resulted in a net burn of 8.19% of CAKE's total supply in 2025. The new cap does not affect the current circulating supply of approximately 334 million tokens but reduces long-term dilution risk. The move reinforces PancakeSwap's shift toward deflationary tokenomics and supply discipline, though short-term price impact remains muted.

Hyperliquid leads Solana and Ethereum in fees – What it means for HYPE

Hyperliquid [HYPE] has recently led all major blockchain networks, including Solana and Ethereum, in both fees and trading volume over a 24-hour period, according to Artemis data. This indicates strong user demand, as fees are only incurred during transactions. Additionally, Hyperliquid network has recorded the highest weekly perpetual DEX trading volume and open interest, suggesting sustained trader engagement. While competitors like Lighter have seen a decline in activity, Hyperliquid’s liquidity and consistent participation have made it a central player in the perps market. The question remains whether this momentum can be sustained and positively impact the price of its native token, HYPE.
