Market sentiment for Ethereum took a dive today as users on Myriad now think there’s a 62.5% chance ETH slips to $2,500 before it sees $4,000 again. Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan, previously showed Ethereum bears and bulls were equally split on ETH’s next move as recently as Tuesday, Jan. 20. And just a day prior to that, Myriad traders had placed 55% odds on Ethereum bouncing back to $4,000, which would mark a nearly three-month high. At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading for $3,008.04 after having dropped 10.6% in the past week.…

As Strategy’s stock price continues to slide, dividend offers increase in value, and executives make the media rounds to fight narratives of possible solvency issues, online sleuths noticed that the company spent $27 million on a “deposit” for a new corporate jet. It’s not known what the percentage of the total purchase the deposit is indicative of. Strategy previously purchased one corporate jet in 2007 (delivered in 2009) and leased another in 2012 after its original corporate jet was catastrophically damaged when a hangar at Dulles airport collapsed due to excess snow. The jet was eventually repaired and put back…

If Donald Trump dropped dead today or got removed, the entire crypto market would go straight into chaos. First, there’d be blind panic. Crypto traders get more and more irrational by the day; it’s truly astonishing. Legally, here’s what happens. If the president dies, the 25th Amendment makes the vice president the new president on the spot. If Trump gets impeached, it doesn’t mean he’s out. The Senate needs two-thirds of the vote to convict and remove him. And if that happens, it’s the same thing. The VP takes over. That’s JD Vance. Trump’s health is evidently deteriorating. His physician,…

BlackRock recognized Ethereum’s dominance in tokenization on Wednesday, dedicating a portion of its 2026 thematic outlook to the network’s potential grip on Wall Street. Pondering whether Ethereum could become the “toll road” to blockchain-based markets, the report stated that Ethereum “could be poised to benefit” from a shift spurring moves across legacy financial institutions, from DTCC to the New York Stock Exchange. Ethereum currently underpins 65% of tokenized assets, according to the report. Meanwhile, the adoption of stablecoins is outpacing spot crypto trading volumes, suggesting that “tokenized assets may have a use-case outside of purely speculative trading.”  The second-largest…

The Ethereum price shows a bullish rebound from the support trendline of a triangle. The contraction in OI suggests forced liquidations of leveraged long positions as the downtrend strengthened. ETH’s fear and greed index at 35%highlights a fear sentiment among market participants. On Wednesday, January 2, 2026, the Ethereum price bounced over 2.6% to reach its trading value of $3,015. The renewed buying pressure followed U.S. President Doland Trump’s decision to cancel EU tariffs and announce a framework for the Greenland deal. However, the uptick is still considered a short relief rally to recuperate the exhausted bearish momentum before next…

Stable, a blockchain explicitly built for stablecoins, and Theo, a full-stack platform linking onchain capital to global markets, jointly committed more than $100 million to the Delta Wellington Ultra Short Treasury On-Chain Fund (ULTRA), a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund managed by FundBridge Capital and Wellington Management and powered by tokenization platform Libeara. The fund carries a rare AAA rating from Particula, a digital assets rating and risk monitoring firm, and represents one of the first major institutional-grade Treasury strategies made available in tokenized form on Stable’s USDT-powered stablechain. The capital infusion provides ULTRA with immediate liquidity to serve institutional investors…

Lawmakers are weighing whether to hand the Commodity Futures Trading Commission a sweeping new role in overseeing crypto markets at a time when the agency is smaller, thinner, and already under internal strain. In a report on Tuesday, the Office of Inspector General identified digital asset regulation as a top management and performance risk for fiscal year 2026, citing pending legislation that could dramatically expand the CFTC’s responsibilities. Expanding the CFTC’s authority would require the agency to hire more staff, build technical expertise, and develop new data systems as its mandate grows more complex, the report adds.  The warning…

Ethereum price started a fresh decline from the $3,000 resistance. ETH is now consolidating losses and might aim for a recovery if it clears $3,120. Ethereum started another decline and traded below $2,920. The price is trading below $3,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $3,000 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above the $2,900 zone. Ethereum Price Attempts Recovery Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $3,050 and started a fresh decline,…

Investment bank HSBC said S&P Global Ratings’ decision to cut Tether’s reserve assessment to weak is a reminder that stablecoins carry an embedded “de-pegging” risk that doesn’t apply in the same way to other forms of tokenized money. The core issue is straightforward: if holders rush to redeem, a stablecoin issuer needs reserves that are unquestionably liquid and low-risk, or the token’s price can wobble away from its intended peg, analysts Daragh Maher and Nishu Singla said in the Monday report. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to assets like fiat currencies or gold. They underpin much of the crypto economy, serving…
