A price jump from $0.0003 to $0.015 doesn’t just catch attention – it forces a closer look. In January 2026, that exact gap is what’s driving growing interest around DOGEBALL, a gaming-focused meme coin presale launching at a time many expect Q1 2026 to favor high-beta altcoins. Analysts tracking

On January 5, 2026, according to community reports, Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is planning to accept cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum as payment for its "New Shepard" suborbital space travel program. If this news is officially confirmed, it will be the first time that cryptocurrency serves as the primary payment method for commercial crewed space flights, marking a milestone breakthrough for digital assets in high-end physical consumption scenarios. Currently, the ticket price for a single "New Shepard" flight is still estimated to be in the millions of dollars, with nearly 100 passengers having experienced it so far. If this move materializes, it will not only be a key business strategy for Blue Origin to catch up with competitor SpaceX but also potentially open a new "space-grade" application paradigm for the entire cryptocurrency payment field.

Cardano is kicking off 2026 with some renewed energy, and the chart is making one thing very clear. ADA is right back at the level that’s been holding it down for weeks.  As Sssebi put it, ADA “wants to fly” as it presses into the $0.40 zone, and that’s not hype, it’s just what the ADA chart i

The highly anticipated decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Lighter is about to reach a key milestone—Token Generation Event (TGE) and a large-scale airdrop. According to core information disclosed by the project team in the market Q&A, its native token LIT has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, of which up to 25%, or 250 million tokens, will be used for the initial airdrop, with no lock-up restrictions. This airdrop will be directly distributed based on the completed points system, and community speculation suggests that the timing window is very likely to be in the coming days. Against the backdrop of a generally sluggish market, Lighter’s TGE performance is regarded by the industry as a key indicator of current market risk appetite, supported by its ZK Rollup-based technical architecture, a total locked value of $1.392 billion, and a recent massive financing round of $68 million.

DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) supported by the Trump family background is currently embroiled in a fierce internal struggle. On December 28, the project proposed a controversial governance proposal to use no more than 5% of the unlocked WLFI token treasury to subsidize and incentivize the adoption of its stablecoin USD1, aiming to catch up with giants like USDT and USDC. However, the proposal faced strong opposition during the community voting phase, with over 67% of voters casting against it. Dramatically, almost simultaneously, the circulating market cap of USD1 broke through the $3 billion mark for the first time, ranking as the seventh-largest stablecoin globally. Meanwhile, the WLFI governance token price has fallen 56% from its peak. Amid scrutiny due to political connections and fierce market competition, the project's development path remains full of uncertainties.

WHITEWHALE is a Solana meme coin that launched on Pump.fun two months ago, with an initial market cap of $80,000.

After Nansen detected signals of dispersed holdings, community enthusiasm surged, and the price skyrocketed by a hundred times within ten days.

As the US dollar outlook is questioned, gold and silver continue to lead the global asset markets. Analysts point out that this surge in precious metals not only reflects market risk aversion but may also signal a structural shift in the international monetary system. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, which has lagged behind, is being reevaluated by the market for its potential to catch up. (Previous summary: Bitcoin frenzy, altcoins buried: a two-year bull market review, why are your assets shrinking?) (Background addition: The four-year cycle of Bitcoin is dead!

The on-chain Perpetual Futures exchange Lighter has opened its Airdrop registration. The current premarket price is around 3.75, corresponding to a FDV of 3.75 billion USD, while the latest valuation in the last round was 1.5 billion USD. The author has organized Hyperliquid's market capitalization to revenue ratio (PS Ratio), as well as the Lighter PS Ratio calculated using VC valuation and premarket valuation, suggesting that the current Lighter premarket price may not be a good entry point. On the other hand, the trading volume of Lighter divided by the open interest ratio is far higher than that of Hyperliquid, indicating that there may be some wash trading involved.

When a cargo-filled container ship moves faster than the transfer of its ownership documents, it indicates that something is fundamentally broken. Here is how blockchain technology addresses a 70-year-old problem—and why the race to build this infrastructure will define the future of finance over the next decade. Imagine you are transporting $40 million worth of crude oil across the Atlantic. The oil tanker sails smoothly at 14 knots, but who has the paperwork proving ownership of the oil? It’s caught in a relay race of courier services, bank processing queues, and manual verification checks. By the time the documents catch up with the ship, weeks have passed, millions of dollars are frozen, and sometimes, as in the case of an unfortunate vessel docked outside a port for two months, the documents are simply lost. > This is not a story from the 1950s. This is global trade in 2024.

Arthur Hayes firmly believes that Bitcoin will rise to $250,000 in 33 days, citing three major factors influencing this, including changes in liquidity from The Federal Reserve (FED), Trump's fiscal policies, and the disappearance of ETF basis trading. Recently, the price of Bitcoin has rebounded, indicating that the market's latent momentum is changing. While TradFi funds are seeking safety, long-term holders are accumulating BTC at lower levels, showing a contrast between "reluctance" and "catch a falling knife."

On November 24, Bitcoin fluctuated higher, breaking through $87,000, while Ethereum also climbed above $2,840. Although the market remains in a state of "extreme fear" with strong bearish sentiment, some analysts have noted that by the close on November 21, spot trading volumes on major exchanges surged to recent highs, indicating heavy turnover and a pattern of increased volume halting the decline. However, analysts warn that traders are betting on a short-term V-shaped rebound, but the accompanying high volatility could catch retail investors off guard.

Tarek Mansour, the CEO of the American prediction market platform Kalshi, stated in a recent interview that the growth rate of prediction markets far exceeds his expectations and is moving towards a trillion-dollar market scale. He particularly pointed out that Kalshi's previous victory in a lawsuit against U.S. regulators has become a key turning point for the explosive growth of the entire industry. Approaching a trillion-dollar scale, it could catch up with the stock market in a few years. Mansour stated that the current growth rate of the prediction market is quite astonishing. Initially, he believed that it would take the prediction market 10 years to have a chance to catch up with the trading activity of the stock market, but it now seems that such a scale can be achieved in just a few years. He further remarked that the prediction market currently looks like a trillion-dollar market. The victory in litigation has driven the industry explosion, making a big entry into sports betting. Mansour pointed out that Kalshi last year

Author: Shao Shiwei As the complainant, if you want to file a criminal complaint in Mainland China to hold the infringer accountable, the first prerequisite is that the infringer is in Mainland China. If the infringer is in Hong Kong or overseas, then even if domestic public security authorities file a case, it is likely that there will be no follow-up. The reason for this can be seen in this article "Can Chinese Public Security Authorities Cross Borders to Catch Telecom Network Fraud Suspects Abroad?" This article will not be repeated here. This is also why many overseas Web3 projects that deceive users ("cutting leeks") are ineffective even if domestic users report cases, because these people are usually overseas. Under this premise, we now proceed to the main topic. For the complainant, the first issues they will face are the following: What materials need to be submitted when filing a report? Which public security authorities should the complaint be made to? If reporting to the police, will the authorities consider our activities illegal and instead initiate an investigation against us?

Research from Columbia University indicates that nearly a quarter of trading volume on the prediction market Polymarket may be wash trading, which could impact market credibility. The study found that during certain periods, the proportion of wash trading exceeded 90%. The platform's design incentivizes low-cost volume manipulation, raising concerns about data authenticity. The research recommends strengthening monitoring to improve market transparency.

After a long and unbearable period of stagnation, Pi Network has once again made headlines.

Wintermute stated that the macro environment remains favorable, including interest rate cuts, the end of quantitative tightening, and stocks approaching highs. However, as capital flows gradually decrease following the FOMC meeting, cryptocurrency performance continues to lag. Global liquidity is expanding, but capital has not flowed into the crypto market. ETF capital inflows have stalled, DAT trading activity has dried up, and only stablecoins are still growing. The market structure appears healthy, with leverage suppressed and positions relatively clear. Nonetheless, a rebound in ETF or DAT capital inflows will be a key signal for liquidity recovery and potential catch-up.
