According to CryptoRank, retail holders of the official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins are facing over $4.3 billion in losses after the tokens plunged more than 90% from their early 2025 peaks. The TRUMP token has dropped from an all-time high of $75 to around $3.55, while MELANIA has fallen from $13.05 to about $0.11, as insiders and exchanges reportedly captured substantial profits. Data cited from blockchain analytics shows losses are concentrated among nearly two million smaller wallets, with insiders earning roughly $600 million and some wallets extracting over $1.2 billion in total.

BNB Chain introduced support for ERC-8004 and BAP-578 to advance agent identity and application standards amid weak market sentiment. Earlier this month, it deployed ERC-8004 on BSC Mainnet and Testnet, and by February 17 the AI Agent ecosystem counted 58 projects. The initiative has also drawn over 200 builders in an ongoing hackathon focused on AI and on-chain actions.

On Friday, Solana's price jumped 10.3%, reclaiming the $80 area and briefly moving past $85 after trading between $78 and $88 and dipping to $67 during the prior day's correction. Some market analysts see a possible move toward $88 and potentially the $90–$96 zone if bullish momentum continues, while others caution that losing support around $77–$78 could expose SOL to deeper declines toward $51 or even $40. As of the latest available data, Solana is trading at $84.17, down 2.5% on the weekly timeframe.

On Friday, crypto markets recovered 15% from multi‑year lows, and analyst Ali Martinez argued in an X post that an "inverted altcoin season" is developing as many tokens break down structurally. During a Thursday panel at Ondo Summit 2026, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said a broad altcoin rally may never return.

On Monday, BNB Chain released a weekly snapshot for Jan 22–28, 2026, reporting an average 4.9 million DAU and 142.6 million transactions. BSC logged 2.59 million DAU while opBNB had 2.36 million. BNB's price fell 13.1% on the week, hovering near the $760–770 range after touching the $730 support.

On Thursday, Bitcoin fell nearly 9% toward the $81,314 area after a brief 2.6% rebound, slipping below near‑term supports. Analysts Ted Pillows and Rekt Capital warn the loss of the 100‑week EMA and a retest of the Macro Triangle bottom near $82,500 raise downside risks, with history implying up to a 76.88% drawdown toward $30,000 if patterns repeat.

Dogecoin has been moving between $0.119 and $0.151, with a brief rally to $0.156, and is now trying to reclaim the $0.1250 level after a recent 5% bounce. Some analysts say the current structure resembles past consolidation phases that preceded parabolic advances with gains of up to 215x, while others warn the coin is already in a bear phase that could bring a 50%-70% decline toward the $0.060-$0.035 area. As of the latest price action, DOGE trades around $0.125, roughly 1.4% lower on the week.

After retesting the $1.90 region on Friday and rebounding 4.6% intraday, XRP has remained in a $1.85–$2.00 band while defending macro support near $1.80. An analyst argues the altcoin is completing a running flat ABC correction that has unfolded over about 400 days, suggesting a possible structural breakout toward key resistance at $2.70 if the $1.80 level is not lost.
