On January 11, 2026, Michael Saylor posted a brief message that rekindled speculation about Strategy's next Bitcoin purchase. By January 12, 2026, the company's Bitcoin-centric balance sheet was back under the spotlight, while the asset traded in a tight range and analysts monitored nearby resistance and support.

In 2025, stablecoin issuers generated roughly $5 billion from deployments on Ethereum, according to X. Startups reported a 400% year-over-year rise in stablecoin card usage and payment volumes, while ERC20 stablecoin activity approached record highs, per CryptoQuant. U.S. lawmakers are also weighing changes to yield rules, with a markup set for the 15th of January.

Bitcoin has been capped below $94k after its recent rejection and is now moving in a narrow range between $90k and $93k, with spot price around $90,739 and a modest daily decline. While Bitfinex whales are aggressively closing long positions, a pattern that previously preceded a 50% rally to a $112k all‑time high, market liquidity is now clustered in short liquidation zones near $91.8k–$92.2k and $93.8k–$94.2k, and the long/short ratio has stayed under 1 for five straight days. With RSI sliding from 65 to 52 and demand weakening, a sustained break above $94k could trigger a short squeeze, whereas losing $90k support may open the way to $88k and heavier long liquidations.

Betterment said an unauthorized party accessed a third‑party marketing system, leading to bogus push alerts and emails that promoted a "crypto giveaway." The messages promised to triple deposits and instructed users to send between $1 and $750,000 in Bitcoin or Ether within three hours.

Bitcoin’s New Year advance is stalling near the key $90,000 support area after multiple failed attempts to hold above that level since November 2025. Morgan Stanley has filed for both Solana and Bitcoin ETFs with staking features, while Shiba Inu briefly touched $0.00001 and XRP jumped about 32% in January, drawing a cautionary technical warning from John Bollinger. Bitcoin has also posted its first post‑halving red year as traders monitor tight ranges and potential Sunday volatility around $85,000 to $90,000.

Coinbase Global Inc. is warning US lawmakers it could withdraw support for a major digital asset bill if new rules severely restrict its ability to pay rewards on stablecoins held on its platform. The exchange wants any changes limited to stronger disclosure requirements, arguing broader bans or exclusive rights for licensed banks could threaten an estimated $1.3 billion in annual stablecoin-related revenue. The dispute over rewards, which follows the GENIUS Act's stablecoin framework passed in July, is now weighing on bipartisan support for the market structure legislation planned for early 2026.

TRON's TRX has maintained a bullish market structure, with weekly charts showing a rebound from the $0.272 support area and sustained buying interest. However, the $0.30 region, which recently rejected price around $0.3025, remains a key resistance, and a Bitcoin move below the $89k–$90k band could undermine this bullish setup.
