On January 27, 2026, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus argued in a meme post that the crypto slump reflects a risk-off rotation rather than broken fundamentals. He pointed to capital moving from meme coins into gold and silver, while chart signals for DOGE suggest a double bottom near $0.115 and a potential breakout target around $0.27.

On January 27, 2026, BitMine staked 209,504 ETH, lifting its staked holdings to 2,218,771, and recently increased total ETH to 4.2 million after buying 40,202 tokens. With about 52% of its treasury locked and an average cost of $2,839, ETH near $2,900 leaves a narrow profit margin and heightens concentration risk.

After a subdued week, more than 250 billion SHIB have been withdrawn from exchanges, with one trading session alone seeing 450 billion tokens moved off centralized platforms. On-chain flows and chart signals point to Shiba Inu potentially completing a bullish head-and-shoulders pattern inside a long-term falling wedge, with analysts eyeing a move toward $0.00001 and scenario targets of $0.000033 and $0.000042 if momentum and broader market conditions improve.

In January 2026, XRP Ledger data shared by Ripple core team member Luke Judges indicated that tokenized assets on XRPL have surpassed $2 billion, after more than $1 billion of additional assets in December were indexed. Technical analysis highlights a multi‑month descending triangle, with key levels at $1.90 and $2.35, and some traders watching potential upside targets near $3.70 and even $5 as XRPL's tokenisation push accelerates.

On January 23, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation created a Post‑Quantum security team, per researcher Justin Drake, with Thomas Coratger leading. Vitalik Buterin has cited a 20% chance that quantum computers could break modern cryptography this decade. Technical signals outline potential paths toward $5,000 and, if momentum extends, toward $10,000.

On January 22, 2026, Shiba Inu marketer Lucie argued on X that meme coin inactivity signals an extended market cycle rather than lost potential, suggesting SHIB's bullish phase may be incomplete. Technical analysis points to a falling wedge, a demand zone near $0.0000068 and a developing inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with upside projections toward $0.000033 and potentially $0.000042 if a full altcoin season emerges.

On January 21, 2026, Ondo Finance said more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs went live on Solana, expanding access to on-chain capital markets. Dune Analytics data shows Solana already holds 46% of the $1 billion tokenized stock market, while traders are watching $120, $145, and $210 as key levels.

In a move disclosed on January 16, 2026, major U.S. mortgage provider Newrez, which manages $778 billion, began treating Ethereum as a liquid asset for mortgage qualification alongside Bitcoin. This policy lets ETH holders on U.S.-regulated exchanges use their holdings for asset verification and income assessment without liquidating, adding a new real-world use case that analysts suggest could support Ethereum's long-term price structure.

In January 2026, technical signals on the BTC/DOGE pair suggest Dogecoin could outperform Bitcoin as traders rotate toward higher‑beta meme coins. A potential breakdown in the BTC/DOGE ascending channel and a double‑bottom pattern near $0.115 on DOGE point to a possible falling wedge breakout toward $0.28 and beyond. Momentum indicators such as RSI and MACD are aligning with this bullish scenario, while Bitcoin Hyper emerges as a project aiming to enhance Bitcoin’s scalability using Solana‑based technology.
