Sui Network's SUI token has climbed more than 36% in a week, with trading volume surging 244.65% across DEXs, aggregators, and derivatives. The price briefly reclaimed the $1.90-$2.00 range and is up 43% since 1 December, even as social interest and dominance remain muted.

Polkadot's DOT and Ethena's ENA have each risen more than 20% over the last week, but their trading activity and inflation patterns show clear differences. ENA saw higher and steadier volume, while DOT climbed on lower participation, and the two tokens also follow contrasting annual supply dynamics. These factors may shape how sustainable their recent price moves prove to be.

Large Bitcoin holders accumulated more than 56,000 BTC since mid-December while smaller wallets reduced exposure. In early January, ETF net inflows climbed, bringing cumulative inflows close to $58 billion as price advanced toward $94k. Resistance is flagged near $98k–$105k, with support around $80k–$82k.

As of January 2026, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index shifted back to neutral, hovering in the low 40s. Bitcoin reclaimed the $90,000 zone after weeks of range-bound trade, with RSI above 60 and MACD turning positive. The last neutral phase in early October 2025 preceded a fast drop from above $125,000 to nearly $80,000.

In 2025, Solana's on-chain spot trading volume climbed to $1.6 trillion, putting it ahead of large centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Bybit and Bitget while remaining behind Binance. Alongside this shift, stablecoin liquidity has increasingly migrated from Ethereum and Tron toward faster, low-cost networks, and SOL's price has reclaimed the $130 level with indicators suggesting strong upside momentum.

As 2026 began, crypto posted broad gains, with CoinMarketCap's Top 20 Index up nearly 5% and BTC and ETH rising about 5% and 7%. Standout winners included MYX (+77%), PEPE (+70%+), and WLFI (+22%), while UNI, HYPE, and XMR slipped. Toncoin, Canton, and Dogecoin advanced; XAUt, PAXG, and Dash fell.

Ethereum’s protocol changes are moving from research into deployment. Vitalik Buterin said on X that PeerDAS is live on mainnet and ZK-EVMs have reached production-grade performance. On 2 January 2026, spot ETH ETFs saw $174 million in net inflows, lifting cumulative inflows to $12.5 billion, while Q4 2025 recorded 8.7 million contract deployments.

Toncoin climbed nearly 10% over the past week as buyers returned after a mid-month dip, with RSI strengthening and MACD turning bullish. The move aligned with Telegram launching a self-custodial wallet for U.S. users, enabling in-app send, swap, and storage. DeFi TVL sat around $85 million and stablecoin supply near $960 million, signaling active usage but lagging liquidity.

Ethereum has seen staking inflows turn positive for the first time in six months, with more than 745,000 ETH now queued for staking against about 360,000 ETH waiting to exit. Even as ETF flows stay negative and price trades sideways above short-term support, on-chain metrics such as falling exchange balances, record smart contract deployments and nearly $19B in RWA value suggest growing network confidence.
