On 20 January 2026, privacy-focused blockchain Midnight, which is closely integrated with the Cardano ecosystem, saw its NIGHT token listed for trading on eToro. The move opens access to a wider retail user base beyond crypto-native exchanges, while the network continues to develop zero-knowledge technology for selective data privacy and advances through its 2026 roadmap.

World Liberty Financial faced criticism after a USD1 growth proposal, created on December 28 and closed on January 4, passed with 77.75% support while nine large wallets controlled about 59% of the voting power. Community members objected that many WLFI holders with locked tokens could not vote, questioned dilution from using WLFI for USD1 incentives, and flagged large transfers such as 500 million WLFI sent to Jump Trading as early investors remained locked. The dispute has intensified even as the project pursues a U.S. national banking charter and launches World Liberty Markets to expand its USD1 and WLFI ecosystem.

On January 15 in Las Vegas, BitMine Immersion Technologies secured 81% shareholder approval to boost its authorized share count, backing its equity-funded plan to grow its Ethereum holdings. The firm now holds 4,203,036 ETH, or about 3.48% of the 120.7 million ETH in circulation, while BMNR shares closed 8% lower at $28.35 on January 20 with heavy, though below-average, trading volume. BitMine also detailed a $200 million investment agreement in Beast Industries linked to Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, which is expected to close this week.

Solana has fallen 9% over the last week and is trading around a key demand zone near $130 after four straight losing sessions. A rare Bollinger Band buy signal from mid-December and an ascending price channel suggest a possible recovery toward $150 and $170 if bullish momentum returns. Trading volume has dropped by about 25% in the past 24 hours, which may indicate fading selling pressure, while meme coin presale Maxi Doge has raised over $4.5 million as speculative interest persists.

The BNB price is trading around $913 as Binance prepares a live event on Elon Musk's X platform featuring several BNB Chain projects. While short-term indicators suggest BNB may have peaked recently, some analysts see potential for a longer-term move toward $1,100 and $1,500 later in 2026. Separately, AI-driven content platform SUBBD has attracted over $1.4 million in presale funding for its Ethereum-based token.

On 20 January 2026, World Liberty Financial faced backlash after a governance vote tied to USD1 expansion. According to independent researchers, fewer than ten wallets held enough voting power to determine the outcome, while many holders with locked WLFI could not participate. The project has not commented and continues with a US trust charter bid and its World Liberty Markets launch.

Dash is showing three caution flags as the privacy coin rally unfolds. In November 2025, long-dormant coins were reactivated and CDD spiked, while the top 100 addresses now hold over 41% of supply. Open interest stands above $180 million even with price near $150, heightening liquidation risk.

Axie Infinity's AXS rose 14% in the past 24 hours, extending the recent strength in gaming tokens while many peers failed to hold gains.
