Ethereum remains range bound after failing to hold an early‑month push above the mid‑$3,000s, with price oscillating between demand near $2,700 and supply closer to $3,500 while the 100‑ and 200‑day moving averages cap upside. According to the Coinbase Premium Index, recent sustained negative readings show a discount on Coinbase versus Binance, underscoring cautious U.S. spot flows.

On January 23, 2026, Ethereum's price remained subdued even as active addresses climbed and roughly 2.3 million daily transactions signaled stronger usage. Fees stabilized after a compression phase but sit well below past peaks, while exchange netflows continue to show outflows. ETH/BTC trades under long-term averages, keeping any altcoin rotation contingent on improved relative performance and rising economic throughput.

On January 23, 2026, XRP traded in the lower $1.90 area, roughly 19% below its January 5 peak near $2.35, while social sentiment data showed small retail holders had slipped into "extreme fear." Metrics from Santiment indicate that this level of pessimism has historically preceded rebounds, even as spot volumes hovered just above $2 billion and leveraged markets saw $3.67 billion in activity and over $2.10M in long liquidations.

On 23 January 2026, Grayscale submitted an S-1 registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval for a spot Binance Coin ETF that would trade on Nasdaq under the ticker GBNB.

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.

According to on-chain data, Binance shifted 17,527,443,126 Shiba Inu tokens from a hot wallet to an internal cold storage address on the Ethereum network, prompting debate among SHIB holders. The transfer involved no ETH and cost less than $0.01 in gas fees, while SHIB was trading around $0.00000788 with stable volumes and no visible spike in selling pressure. Analysts suggest the operation appears to be a storage and reserve management move rather than a signal of imminent liquidation, though any sharp volatility this week could hint at a broader strategic rebalance.

Grayscale Investments has submitted a Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register the Grayscale BNB ETF, an exchange-traded fund intended to mirror the price of BNB. The Delaware-incorporated trust would issue shares representing fractional interests in BNB and begin offering them only after the SEC declares the registration effective.

According to CoinGlass data, Shiba Inu open interest rose 0.45% in the last 24 hours to $87.19 million, even as the token's price and trading activity declined. SHIB was trading at $0.00000786, down 0.51% daily and 6.06% over the week, while CoinMarketCap figures showed spot volume dropping 27.87% to $82.26 million. With leverage reportedly being flushed out and key resistance near $0.000008 holding since Jan. 14, traders appear to be reassessing the next move for the meme coin.
