Another Friday has rolled around, which means another batch of crypto options are expiring while spot markets retreat from New Year highs. Around 20,600 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, Jan. 9, with a notional value of roughly $1.9 billion. This expiry event is pretty much the same as last week’s, as derivatives trading remains slow, so there is unlikely to be any impact on spot markets. Spot markets started the week on a high, and momentum built to a seven-week high market cap of $3.3 on Wednesday, but it failed to continue, resulting in another pullback. Bitcoin…

For traders focused on daily candles, the narrative felt stagnant.However, beneath the surface noise, institutional demand absorbed twice the amount of new Bitcoin supply entering circulation. This dynamic frames the next several years as structurally bullish regardless of short-term price volatility.US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net…

The company said that it continues to invest in…
The TRU token collapsed from $0.1659 to near zero, wiping out market value. Liquidity on decentralised exchanges dried up following the exploit. The attacker wallet was linked to a Sparkle protocol attack 12 days earlier. A serious security breach at Truebit Protocol has triggered one of the sharpest collapses seen in decentralised finance this year. The blockchain project, which focuses on verified computing, lost around $26.5 million after an attacker exploited a weakness in its smart contract system. The incident sent the protocol’s native TRU token crashing to near zero and left liquidity across decentralised exchanges severely strained. On-chain movements…

Rapid pushback from prominent accounts highlighted how quickly misinformation can be challenged, yet still travel widely. A claim that Polymarket traders have priced a 53% chance of Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee facing securities fraud or Ponzi scheme charges in 2026 spread across X on January 9, 2026. The episode has drawn attention not because of any legal action, but because it shows how screenshots of prediction markets and crypto tribalism can blur into misleading narratives. A Viral Screenshot, Rising Odds, and Missing Verification The discussion began when X user Hooman posted a screenshot claiming Polymarket odds had jumped from…
2026 could mark the clearest break yet from everything investors thought they understood about Bitcoin cycles.For more than a decade, markets have leaned on the four-year halving model to predict peaks, crashes and recoveries. Under that framework, 2025 should have marked the top, with 2026 shaping up as a painful down year. But a growing number of analysts now say that model is no longer reliable, and the next phase of crypto may look very different.In a new Cointelegraph video, we break down fresh outlooks from four major crypto companies: Grayscale, Galaxy Digital, Bitwise and 21Shares, to explore what 2026…
