Tyler Adams from COZ has submitted a "Competitive Fee and Blocktime Enhancements" proposal on the neo.community governance forum, calling for a sharp reduction in Neo transaction execution fees and a move to three-second block times. The plan leverages Neo‑CLI v3.8.0 and v3.9.0 features, introduces limits on transactions per block and lower GAS per block, and would require a governance transaction with Council signatures and a one-week governance window to implement.

According to U.Today, momentum gauges show bears are overextended, placing many assets in oversold territory. XRP remains capped beneath $1.60 after failed rebounds, while SHIB's roadmap centers on reclaiming the 26/50 EMA and $0.0000078. Ethereum prints its most oversold daily RSI in 300 days, hinting at room for a technical bounce if sentiment steadies.

XRP has moved into what Korean Certified Elliott Wave Analyst XForceGlobal describes as a "washout" zone within an expanded flat correction, a structure he believes could ultimately precede a new macro uptrend toward $20–$30. In a February 3 video, he argued that the current Wave C sell-off may still need to complete a five-wave decline, potentially driving XRP into a volatile $1.50 to $1.08–$1.09 range before a reversal, with interim resistance and risk-management levels such as $6 on the path higher. At the time of reporting, XRP was trading at $1.5887.

In early 2026, Google's Gemini AI generated long-term price projections for XRP, Ethereum and Solana, suggesting the trio could reach fresh all‑time highs by late 2026 or 2027 under a prolonged bull market and clearer U.S. regulation. The model outlines a path for XRP toward $8, Ethereum breaking above $5,000 and Solana potentially climbing to $500 if ETF inflows, institutional adoption and oversold technical readings align. It also highlights factors such as RSI levels, key resistance zones and the proposed CLARITY bill as conditions that could support these scenarios.

PEPE extended its correction in early February, sliding about 48% over two weeks and revisiting its yearly low area. The move mirrored a roadmap shared by an analyst on X, following a rapid early‑year rally to $0.00000715. At publication, PEPE traded near $0.00000425 after touching an intraday low of $0.00000402.

Investor focus is rotating toward Bitcoin infrastructure altcoins as Bitcoin trades near key resistance levels. Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer 2 integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, has reported presale funding of $31,228,293.92 with whale wallets accumulating over $116K, including a $63K purchase on Jan 15, 2026. The project markets itself as core DeFi and high-speed payments infrastructure for Bitcoin rather than a purely speculative token.

On February 4, 2026, L2Beat's tracking showed that only about 27 of roughly 136 Ethereum L2 projects average at least 1.00 UOPS, leaving around 109 below that mark. Activity is concentrated on Arbitrum and Base, which handle about 90% of scaling traffic, while many smaller L2s see minimal engagement.

On 4 February 2026, Ripple detailed a busy week that included securing a full Electronic Money Institution license in Luxembourg and building on earlier UK approvals, broadening its regulated presence across Europe. The company also advanced institutional services, real‑world asset tokenization on XRPL, and RLUSD stablecoin growth, even as XRP fell nearly 20% over the week toward the $1.50 support level amid wider market pressure.
