During a live market rundown, a crypto host warned that Bitcoin slipping below $80,000 alongside sizable spot ETF outflows is eroding price support and could deepen a correction, with a downside focus near $68,000 tied to the 200‑week EMA. Over the past 24 hours, according to the host, roughly $1.5–$1.6 billion in positions were liquidated, while U.S. spot ETFs saw month‑to‑date net withdrawals around $1.6 billion.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin slid to $74,680 on Monday after about $1.8 billion in long liquidations since Thursday, yet multiple signals point to support holding near $75,000 into 2026. Derivatives premia sit around 3% with open interest at $40 billion, while spot ETFs logged $3.2 billion of outflows—less than 3% of AUM. Macro indicators and corporate balance-sheet details further suggest limited forced selling.

On February 2, 2026, a sponsored article outlined BlockDAG’s presale pitch, citing a 15,000 TPS design, a hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work architecture, full EVM support, and $453M raised.

XRP's price recently rebounded from the central line and tagged the 33-EMA around $1.60–$1.61 after a sharp liquidity sweep near $1.64. A technical analyst outlines scenarios where XRP could first see another liquidity grab before expanding, with potential targets near $7 or even $27 if past bull cycles repeat. XRP's setup is further shaped by Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin launch, which has surpassed $1.2 billion in under two weeks and may influence near-term volatility.

According to CertiK, physical coercion of crypto wallet holders increased sharply in 2025, with 72 verified cases worldwide and an approximate 75% rise from 2024. Confirmed losses reached $40.9 million, while France tallied 19 incidents and Europe accounted for about 40% of global cases. The firm warned this threat now sits at the center of ecosystem risk.

Ripple's U.S. dollar-pegged RLUSD is closing in on a $1.5 billion market cap after fresh liquidity, with total value around $1.39 billion. The RLUSD Treasury minted 28,200,000 tokens, and a January spot listing on Binance introduced pairs like RLUSD/USDT and XRP/RLUSD, pushing 24-hour volumes above $363 million.
