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.

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.

As of January 23 2026, the Cosmos Hub is contending with a wave of project and developer departures and a deeply underperforming ATOM token, which is down almost 90% from its all‑time high and trading near $2.3. Community figure Tony argues that exits by projects such as Noble can ultimately benefit the Hub, framing them as a chance to refocus on institutional use cases. Teams linked to Cosmos are now exploring radical changes to ATOM tokenomics, value accrual, and inflation while emphasizing interoperability, appchain flexibility, and institutional‑grade infrastructure.
