Binance's Strategy: Why Does the Crypto Twitter Community Hate the Largest Exchange?
Crypto Twitter is furious again. This time, the familiar target: Binance – the largest crypto exchange in the world along with co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ).
In recent days, serious accusations have continuously emerged on the Twitter (or X) timeline, with some users calling CZ a “fraud” and demanding “send him back to jail.” So what is the truth behind these accusations, and is there any substantial evidence behind the latest allegations?
How European right-wingers are leveraging cryptocurrency after Trump's election
Since U.S. President Donald Trump turned crypto into an important pillar of his election campaign, political leaders in Europe have also begun adopting a similar strategy to attract the support of voters interested in digital assets as this field continues to grow rapidly.
Especially, right-wing parties are very active in choosing this direction. The decentralized nature and emphasis on limiting state intervention have made Bitcoin attractive to leaders with conservative and libertarian ideologies.
What crypto whales are buying to seek potential profits in February 2026
January was a volatile month for the crypto market, with strong gains recorded at the beginning of the month but a severe sell-off at the end. Many major tokens have 'disappeared' the results of several weeks in just a few days. In this unstable context, some crypto whales are focusing their attention on three assets that have early reversal signals in February.
On-chain data shows a trend of accumulation as selling pressure weakens and bullish divergence patterns are forming or about to be confirmed. This indicates that large wallets are preparing for a selective recovery, rather than just riding the short-term wave.
XRP is starting February with a lot of pressure. This token has decreased by nearly 7% in the last 24 hours and about 5% over the past month, indicating the overall negative trend in the market. According to historical data, February is often a difficult time for XRP prices. The data shows that the median return for February is −8.12%, while the average drop is −5%. In 2025, this token also decreased by nearly 29% during the same period.
Who is the person Trump chose as Fed Chairman, Kevin Warsh, and is he good for crypto?
President Donald Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh as the candidate for the next Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), which is expected to lead to a leadership change at the world's most powerful central bank in May 2026.
This nomination comes amid a rather fragile economic backdrop. Inflation remains high, financial markets are volatile, and the crypto sector is also under pressure from macroeconomic uncertainties. At this moment, the choice of Fed Chairman is more important than ever since the pandemic.
The crypto market remains highly volatile this weekend, with unexpected price fluctuations changing the short-term forecasts of major altcoins. As investors react to the unstable market situation, identifying assets that are in critical technical zones becomes very necessary.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three prominent altcoins that are approaching important thresholds as the weekend approaches.
Signs suggest that the demand for copper tokenization may increase significantly in 2026
As gold and silver prices continuously reach new highs, smaller-cap metals like copper are also attracting large capital flows. Blockchain technology could become a bridge, helping this capital flow into the crypto market through tokenization.
Many indicators suggest that copper prices may begin a strong upward cycle similar to silver, and copper tokens could explode in 2026.
Copper demand may continue to increase significantly over the next 15 years.
3 altcoins that could reach new highs in February 2026
The crypto market enters February 2026 with many altcoins starting to show signs of reversal after several weeks of strong fluctuations. The sentiment of retail investors remains quite selective, with capital flowing into projects that have clear development roadmaps, improved on-chain metrics, or possess compelling narratives such as privacy security and decentralized infrastructure.
BeInCrypto has analyzed 3 standout altcoins that meet the above criteria and have the potential to establish new highs in February 2026.
What factors could help Solana absorb increasing selling pressure
Solana (SOL) has dropped below 120 USD amidst a continuous outflow of capital. As investors become more cautious, the question arises: what does Solana have to convince retail investors to stay?
Some recent positive news in the Solana ecosystem could create momentum and help SOL withstand increasing selling pressure across the market.
New driving factors emerging in 2026 support SOL prices
Worldcoin (WLD) price drops 21% but here's how traders have profited from this event
Worldcoin has experienced significant volatility after a failed recovery attempt led to a market-wide sell-off. In the past 24 hours, WLD has dropped 21%, reflecting the overall weakness of digital assets.

Investors holding Worldcoin continue to accumulate.
The real story behind Bitcoin's 10% drop — why liquidations came late
The price of Bitcoin has dropped more than 10% compared to the peak at the end of January, at one point falling below 81,000 USD before recovering to above 82,300 USD. In just 24 hours, the market recorded over 1.7 billion USD being liquidated, with Bitcoin alone accounting for nearly 800 million USD in long liquidations. At the time of writing, the price of BTC is still down more than 6% compared to yesterday.
Most traders believe the reason is financial leverage. However, data shows that derivative products are not the source of this crash but only made the situation worse. In fact, the sharp decline had already formed earlier, near an important structural area and on-chain data.
Ethereum Price Prediction: What Awaits ETH in February 2026
Ethereum's price is entering February 2026 at a critical juncture. After a nearly 7% drop in January, ETH ends this month completely contrary to previous historical trends. The average profit in January was around +32%, but this year it has moved in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, February typically brings a median increase of about +15% since 2016.
The last time Ethereum entered February in a similar position was in 2025. That year, the weak momentum continued to drag prices down monthly by 32%-37%. Will 2026 follow this same path or will it break out depends on the interplay between technical factors, on-chain data, and institutional capital flows in the coming weeks.

Crypto sell-off affects corporate reserve funds as Strategy and Bitmine stocks drop nearly 10%
The crypto market capitalization has decreased by 6% in the past 24 hours as many major assets have plummeted. This sell-off not only affects digital tokens but also pulls down leading treasury companies focused on crypto, like BitMine and MicroStrategy. Although both companies show confidence by continuing to accumulate additional assets, this price drop still indicates increasing pressure on companies holding digital assets in their treasury.

Bitcoin plummeted at the start of the Asian trading session on Friday, dropping more than 5% from 89,000 USD to a low of 83,400 USD during U.S. trading hours. Unlike gold or stocks, Bitcoin did not recover – this indicates a crisis in the identification of this 'digital gold.'
The market is re-evaluating its confidence in currencies and organizations, but this flow of money is going to gold reserves instead of into crypto wallets.

The Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) stated that about 72% of licensed crypto exchanges in the country still have not made a profit by the end of 2025, even though the number of crypto users has surpassed 20 million.
