January 28 News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared a real on-chain operation experience on the decentralized social platform Farcaster, sparking discussions among developers and users about wallet design and block explorer capabilities.
Vitalik stated that in the morning, he needed to check the signature addresses in his multi-signature wallet, but at that time he was using a mobile device and had not installed his usual wallet app. In this situation, he was not limited by a specific frontend but directly queried the address through a block explorer and used the "Read Contract" function to obtain the necessary information, successfully completing the operation.

BlockBeats News, January 28 — According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a newly created wallet "0x9D2" deposited another $36.15 million into HyperLiquid (totaling $45 million) to increase its HYPE holdings.
As of now, this whale has purchased 277,100 HYPE tokens, worth $9.478 million.

January 28 News, PYTH price has recently experienced significant fluctuations and successfully established a stage support around $0.05. Driven by related listing news, the token once surged rapidly, with intraday gains approaching 17%, and then entered a high-level consolidation phase. The market has begun to reassess its subsequent growth potential.
From a fundamental perspective, after gaining support from broader channels, PYTH has significantly expanded its potential user base and has also, to some extent, increased the project's market visibility and liquidity levels. Such changes often help lower the participation threshold for ordinary investors and have a positive impact on medium-term capital structure, which is not common in the oracle track.

BlockSec has released a closed-source smart contract vulnerability analysis, revealing suspicious transactions on SwapNet and Aperture Finance across multiple blockchains, resulting in over $17 million in losses. The root cause is insufficient input validation in the affected contracts, allowing attackers to abuse token approvals to steal assets.

On January 28, Bitcoin experienced a technical rebound after recently dropping to $85,970, but the rally was only about 4%, and it faced resistance again around $89,380, failing to generate sustained upward momentum. Despite market progress related to ETFs, the price performance remains relatively weak, indicating that macroeconomic conditions are significantly constraining short-term trends.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin previously formed a hidden bullish divergence on the daily chart, with RSI weakening while the price remained high, temporarily pushing the price higher. However, the effect of this signal was short-lived, as buying pressure was quickly offset by selling pressure. Meanwhile, positive news surrounding ETFs has not resulted in the usual amplification effect, reflecting that risk appetite among funds remains cautious.

On January 28, news reports that the HYPE token surged over 30% this week, with its price once reaching $33, clearly outperforming mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This trend is seen by industry insiders as a microcosm of the deep integration between the crypto market and traditional financial assets, driven by recent structural changes in the decentralized platform Hyperliquid.
Hyunsu Jung, CEO of Hyperion DeFi, a Nasdaq-listed company, pointed out that the rise of HYPE is not purely driven by sentiment, but results from the acceleration of market aggregation across multiple asset classes on the same chain under the asset tokenization trend. As the first U.S. publicly listed company to include HYPE in its long-term financial portfolio, Hyperion DeFi held over 1.4 million HYPE tokens by the end of last year.

January 28 News, Ethereum is about to launch a new standard, ERC-8004, which defines an artificial intelligence agent economy system on the mainnet. This proposal is seen as an important step in the deep integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence, aiming to enable AI agents to become true on-chain economic participants in trustless environments.
ERC-8004 was first proposed in August 2025, with the core goal of allowing AI agents to directly interact with different organizations, protocols, and applications within the Ethereum ecosystem, forming a decentralized, permissionless AI service marketplace. Ethereum officials stated on social media that the standard enables cross-organizational collaboration of AI agents through a “discoverable and transferable reputation system,” and eliminates entry barriers of centralized platforms.

January 27 News: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana prices edged higher, with market sentiment turning cautious as investors focus on the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision, earnings reports from major US tech companies, and the US dollar trend. During Wednesday's Asian session, Bitcoin fluctuated between $88,800 and $89,000, slightly rebounding after early-week volatility. Ethereum rose about 2% on the day, hovering below the $3,000 mark. Solana and other mainstream tokens also saw moderate gains, but overall, there is still no clear direction.
The stable performance of the crypto market contrasts with the strong momentum of global risk assets. Major Asian stock indices hit record highs, US stock futures continued to rise, and the S&P 500 previously reached a new closing high. Tech stocks continue to lead, with market optimism about capital expenditure related to artificial intelligence, while several US tech giants are about to release earnings reports, serving as an important window to assess the strength of this round of stock market rally.

According to BlockBeats, against the recent rise in precious metal prices, a whale account has gained over $1.2 million in profit within 30 days and doubled its principal.

January 27 News, China's response to President Trump's tariff policies is quietly affecting global capital flows, even impacting the Bitcoin market. Since Trump took office, the United States has imposed high tariffs on nearly all Chinese imported goods, with an average level of about 29.3%. In response, China has tightly managed the RMB exchange rate to maintain export competitiveness and curb deflation, thereby stabilizing capital flow cycles under trade pressure.
A report from JPMorgan Chase pointed out that China's exchange rate management strategy helps enhance dollar-dominated global liquidity during periods of trade tension. This operation indirectly influences Bitcoin prices: when risk aversion intensifies and dollar liquidity tightens, Bitcoin may decline; conversely, when trade tensions ease or capital flows recover, Bitcoin has room to rebound. During the trade escalation from March to April last year, Bitcoin's movements reflected this logic.
