📅 2026.01.08 Crypto Diary | What's Everyone Talking About in the Chinese-Speaking World?

BTC 90K Defense Battle 🩸 Last night, BTC dipped near 90K, with 250 million USD in liquidations within 24 hours (80% longs). On Polymarket, the probability of BTC breaking 100K in January has dropped to 29%. Brothers chasing high prices—how’s the weather up there?

Solana Mobile (SKR) Airdrop 📱 Officially scheduled for January 21st! The airdrop ratio is 30%, making it one of the most generous airdrops recently. If you own a Seeker phone, check your eligibility now—don’t regret it later.

BREV Is the Real Alpha 🚀 This is what 'Korean capital power' looks like. After listing on Upbit and Bithumb, it skyrocketed 600% in a single day. Now everyone’s hunting for the next ZK project that the Koreans are targeting.

SXP (Solar) Back from the Dead 🧟‍♂️ Old coins can still have their moment. Riding on the 'Core 5.0' upgrade and re-listing on Upbit, it surged 20%逆势. Indeed, as long as you survive long enough, you’ll see anything.

BlackRock’s Small Moves 🏦 On-chain data shows BlackRock transferred over 2,000 BTC and more than 20,000 ETH to Coinbase. Is this dumping or rebalancing? The mind of institutions—don’t try to guess it, you won’t get it right anyway.

The Regulatory Sword Is About to Fall? ⚖️ The Senate has scheduled a hearing on January 15th to discuss a new crypto market structure bill. Trump is calling for action, but David Sacks (Crypto Czar) has been pushing hard lately—watch for volatility next week.

Ethereum Still Playing Dead ⚰️ 'Fusaka' upgrade is nearly complete, yet the price is still stuck between 3,100 and 3,200. Lots of people are queueing to become validators (1.66 million ETH in the queue), but the price movement is worse than stablecoins.

Geopolitical Tensions Affect Mindset 🌍 There’s some movement in Venezuela and Greenland, and risk-off sentiment is rising in the US stock market, dragging the crypto market along. When macro is bad, we can’t stay isolated.

Binance Launches Gold/Silver Contracts 🥇 Now on Binance, you can trade not just air, but also metals. The TradFi perpetual contracts are live—preparing to bring in stock-trading grandmas into derivatives trading?

Sei’s Stablecoin Warning ⚠️ Sei officially urged USDC.n holders to switch back to native USDC. If you’re holding it, act now—don’t wait until it becomes a dead coin and then cry.

In this market, stay calm and watch. Don’t chase BREV just because it’s flying—remember the 250 million USD that blew up last night.
