After a near 72% yearly decline and a quarter-long downtrend between October and December 2025, FLOKI has rebounded with an 18% daily gain. Technical indicators such as SAR, MFI, and A/D now point to both renewed upside potential and lingering bearish pressure, leaving questions about how long the rally can last.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Ethereum's network handled over $8 trillion in stablecoin transfers, almost twice the volume recorded in the second quarter. Over the same period, daily transactions, monthly active addresses and unique active wallets on Ethereum all climbed to new all-time highs, while the chain kept a leading share in stablecoin issuance and real-world asset tokenization.

Ethereum extended its advance above $3,050 and $3,100, briefly tagging $3,218 before consolidating around the $3,200 area. The price holds above the 100‑hour Simple Moving Average with a short‑term trend line near $3,120; traders are watching $3,200–$3,220 and $3,250 for a breakout, while $3,165 and $3,120 act as initial supports.

In a Saturday X post, Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum can overcome the blockchain trilemma through PeerDAS and ZK-EVMs. He cited PeerDAS for 2025 and initial ZK-EVM usage in 2026, noting data availability sampling is on mainnet and ZK-EVMs are performance-ready but still need safety work.

Shiba Inu, the meme cryptocurrency launched in 2020, entered 2026 with renewed momentum after a prolonged downtrend and a difficult 2025. The project saw a major Shibarium bridge exploit in September 2025 and a $19 billion October market wipe-out, but also a sharp rise in SHIB burn rate and signs of seller exhaustion. Technical signals now point to a potential local bottom, with some scenarios targeting a return to the November 2024 price range if SHIB can remove a zero from its quote.

In 2025, Solana's on-chain spot trading volume climbed to $1.6 trillion, putting it ahead of large centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Bybit and Bitget while remaining behind Binance. Alongside this shift, stablecoin liquidity has increasingly migrated from Ethereum and Tron toward faster, low-cost networks, and SOL's price has reclaimed the $130 level with indicators suggesting strong upside momentum.

Memecoin capitalization climbed more than 23% over the past week, moving from $38 billion on Dec. 29 to $47.7 billion on Monday. Trading activity surged alongside, with transaction volume rising from $2.17 billion on Dec. 29 to $8.7 billion on Monday, a 300% increase. DOGE, SHIB and PEPE led gains, while broader crypto rose more modestly.

Official Trump's TRUMP memecoin climbed 8.6% in the last 24 hours while Open Interest rose 35%, even as its higher timeframe trend stayed bearish. After a bounce from $4.68 to $5.46 and a break above local resistance near $5–$5.1, traders are watching potential entries on retests and a possible move toward $8, though a lasting trend reversal remains uncertain.
