Since January 6, ETH net taker volume has posted a $390 million positive imbalance, the largest buy-side skew since January 2023. CVD stands at -3,676 ETH and price is holding above $3,000, while Hyblock reports roughly $540 million in net longs near $3,100. These signals indicate renewed futures participation, with trend resilience hinging on daily closes above $3,000.

On January 20, 2026, the Cardano Foundation confirmed it had delegated 220 million ADA, valued at about $77 million, to 11 community-selected Delegated Representatives to strengthen governance resilience and diversity. The move follows a November 2025 proposal from key Cardano organizations to draw 70 million ADA from the community treasury to fund core infrastructure such as stablecoins, custody solutions, analytics, cross-chain bridges and pricing oracles.

Swissblock said a key market-cycle gauge for Ethereum has shifted to "predominance," echoing leadership seen in Q2 2025. Staked supply has reached 47% (77.85 million ETH) as BitMine added 1.7 million ETH worth $5.56 billion in recent weeks. CoinShares also noted $496 million of ETH inflows into U.S. spot ETFs last week.

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) said it will distribute a new digital token to shareholders, setting a record date of February 2, 2026. Eligible recipients include ultimate beneficial owners and registered holders with at least one DJT share, and the tokens will be minted with Crypto.com and held in custody before distribution.

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.

Ethereum is showing a strong on-chain accumulation band between $2,772 and $3,119, suggesting a key support area above $3,000. According to analyst Ali Martinez, many holders last bought ETH in this zone, which could limit downside risk unless price breaks decisively below $2,772. A sustained move above $3,119 may reinforce bullish momentum, while a drop under the range alongside ETF outflows could trigger a deeper correction.

According to market data, altcoins extended a broad sell-off over the past 24 hours, with the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin sliding to about $1.2 trillion and losing roughly $50 billion in a day. Trading volume hovered near $147 billion, while large-cap tokens such as Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, BNB and Monero posted notable weekly declines.

On January 19, 2026, Glassnode warned that XRP's current on-chain cost-basis structure closely resembles the configuration seen ahead of its 60% price decline in 2022, with newer wallets buying below the mid-term cohort's realized price. XRP is trading at $1.91, down 4.74% over the past 24 hours and below its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages, while analysts are watching the $2.00 psychological level, $1.80 support, and potential downside toward $1.25 if selling pressure intensifies. Despite $1.37 billion in cumulative ETF inflows since November 2025 and exchange reserves dropping to their lowest since 2018, recent inflows and rising exchange balances show that ETF demand has not fully averted drawdowns.
