Bitcoin briefly rose above $92,000 on Monday after US federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Despite the price pop, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $1.38 billion in net outflows over four straight sessions, and futures basis remained near 5%, signaling cautious positioning.

Bitcoin climbed above $92k after briefly sweeping the $90,250 lows late Sunday, with recent Monday sessions showing volatile liquidity grabs followed by reversals. On‑chain data between 5 and 11 January showed long‑term holders slightly increasing their realized cap share while overall accumulation cooled, suggesting neutral distribution pressure that could intensify if price approaches the $96k–$100k liquidity pocket. Analysts noted that the $100k region remains a key psychological and technical barrier, where long-term holder selling and whales exiting near breakeven might obstruct a sustained breakout.

XRP saw a brief rebound in early 2026 and is now trading slightly above $2.0. Analysts highlight a recurring setup that previously drove a move from about $0.5 to over $2, with a decisive break above $2.26 and resistance between $3.4 and $3.7 viewed as key levels for the next leg higher.

On Monday, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced a new Innovation Advisory Committee to guide oversight of blockchain and AI. Chair Mike Selig plans to nominate 12 CEO Innovation Council participants as charter members. Additional nominations are open until Jan. 31, 2026.

Bitcoin's price fell from around $92,500 to nearly $90,500 after Jerome Powell issued an unusually sharp statement responding to a criminal investigation into his actions as Federal Reserve Chair. While BTC consolidates below key resistance in the $90,000–$94,000 zone, short-term holders are increasingly realizing losses, with the STH SOPR stuck below 1.00 for over 70 days. This mix of political tension, compressed volume, and retail capitulation is shaping the near-term risk backdrop for the market.

Canton rallied over 15% after JPMorgan announced the expansion of JPM Coin onto the Canton Network, shifting focus toward real-world settlement and tokenized finance use cases. The CC price is trading around a cup-and-handle pattern near the $0.160–$0.170 neckline, while derivatives open interest has climbed above $27.5 million and many top traders still hold short positions.

On Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins criticizing President Trump's August executive order that makes it easier for crypto and private equity to be added to 401(k) plans. She warned that highly volatile digital assets and tokenized products could increase the risk of major losses for retirement savers and weaken SEC oversight. Warren pressed the SEC for details on market surveillance, investor education, and company disclosures, while unions also voiced concern that tokenization could create a regulatory loophole for retirement funds.
