Bittensor (TAO) recorded a strong price rally on Tuesday, surging nearly 10% to move above the $290 level following Grayscales official launch of the Grayscale Bittensor Trust (GTAO). The announcement marked a major milestone for the decentralized AI network, as it represents one of the earliest regulated investment products offering institutional-style exposure to TAO without direct token ownership. The price surge pushed TAO to its highest level in several weeks, supported by a notable increase in market activity. According to market data, 24-hour trading volume exceeded $230 million as...

Claims that the United States could seize a massive, hidden Venezuelan Bitcoin reserveoften estimated at 600,000 BTC worth roughly $60 billionhave circulated widely across crypto and geopolitical circles. However, when examined through legal standards and on-chain data, these claims fall apart. The idea that Venezuela quietly amassed an enormous Bitcoin stash to evade US sanctions is compelling, but it remains unsupported by verifiable evidence. Supporters of the theory argue that informal oil trades, gold sales, and domestic crypto adoption enabled the Venezuelan state to build a shadow...

XRP price enters early 2026 on firmer footing after reclaiming critical levels that were lost during the late-2025 selling pressure. After spending most of Q4 trading below the psychologically important $2 mark, XRP price has now moved decisively above it, signaling a potential structural shift. This development comes alongside a broader crypto market recovery and improving regulatory clarity, both of which have helped restore confidence across large-cap digital assets. As liquidity conditions improved toward the end of 2025, renewed participation from traders supported higher prices across...

Solana price has remained resilient above the $130 level after rebounding strongly from the $120 support zone, gaining nearly 4% in the past 24 hours. Over the last several days, SOL has surged more than 10%, reflecting renewed bullish momentum across the broader crypto market. With the overall market up around 2% on the day and close to 10% on the week, investor sentiment has clearly improved, creating favorable conditions for Solana to extend its rally. Growing confidence among traders and institutions has strengthened expectations that Solana price could test the $200 mark this month. One...

Strategy (MSTR) surged roughly 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after MSCI announced it would not exclude digital asset treasury companies (DATs) from its major indexes, easing investor concerns about potential capital outflows. The decision removed a key overhang that had weighed on Strategy and other firms holding large amounts of digital assets on their balance sheets. In a statement, MSCI said that distinguishing between traditional investment companies and operating companies that hold non-operating assets such as digital assets requires additional analysis. According to MSCI, some...

The crypto market has entered 2026 with renewed momentum, but investors are now asking whether this rally can continue throughout the year. According to a recent blog post by crypto asset management firm Bitwise, early indicators suggest a constructive outlook, though several key conditions must remain in place for digital assets to reach new all-time highs. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, are both up roughly 7% year-to-date just six days into 2026. Risk appetite has clearly returned, with speculative tokens posting even stronger...

Ledger, the company behind one of the most widely used crypto hardware wallets, has confirmed a new data breach involving its third-party e-commerce partner, Global-e. The incident exposed customer names and contact details linked to purchases made through Ledgers online store, reigniting concerns about crypto security, phishing attacks, and real-world risks for wallet owners. According to Ledger, sensitive assets such as private keys, wallet funds, and payment information were not compromised. However, the exposure of personal data has already triggered consequences. Within hours of the...

U.S. senators resumed discussions this week on a long-awaited crypto market structure bill aimed at defining how digital assets are regulated in the United States, according to sources familiar with the talks. While no agreements have yet been reached on major disputed issues, momentum is building as Senate leaders eye a possible committee markup as early as January 15. The renewed negotiations come after months of stalled progress in the previous congressional session. Senator John Kennedy told Punchbowl News that Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott is preparing for a markup next...

For much of 2025, a clear pattern emerged in the crypto market: newly launched tokens tended to lose value shortly after hitting the market. According to data from Memento Research, which tracked 118 token generation events (TGEs) during the year, around 85% of new tokens are now trading below their initial valuations. The median token has fallen more than 70%, underscoring how difficult 2025 was for token launches. This trend marked a sharp contrast to the 2021 bull market, when high-profile tokens like MATIC, FTM and AVAX rallied strongly after launch. In 2025, however, the broader altcoin...

Ethereum is currently trading in a price zone that appears calm on the surface but shows signs of deeper structural instability underneath. While the $3,000$3,100 range has become a key psychological support level for the market, recent price action suggests this zone may not be as reliable as many investors expect. After a strong rally earlier in the cycle, Ethereum has entered an extended corrective phase marked by lower highs, heightened volatility, and weakening momentum. Instead of strong, impulsive rebounds, ETH has posted shallow recoveries that struggle to gain traction. This type of...
