Apple plans a major Mac refresh in 2026 with new designs and chips
Apple is expected to completely refresh its Mac lineup in 2026, from a budget MacBook using iPhone chips to a redesigned MacBook Pro, while also updating the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Studio Display.
This packed launch plan is said to start from the beginning of the year, but the M5–M6 chip roadmap and changes in high-level personnel in the design area may affect the timing and positioning of the product.
Nietzschean Penguin rises 179% after White House post, what's next?
PENGUIN exploded thanks to the viral effect from the White House account's post on X, which was then amplified by strong whale buying activity.
Just a few days after its launch, Nietzschean Penguin (PENGUIN) became a vibrant trading memecoin, skyrocketing and then sharply correcting. On-chain data shows there was both significant accumulation and quick profit-taking, causing the uptrend to enter a supply-demand testing phase.
a16z crypto calms quantum fears, focuses on real risks
Justin Thaler (a16z crypto, Georgetown University) calls for the cryptocurrency industry not to panic about threats from quantum computers, as the timeline for 'quantum computers capable of breaking encryption' is still far off and transitioning too early could create greater risks.
Instead of rushing to 'quantum-resistant upgrades' on a large scale, Thaler emphasizes the need to distinguish the types of risks associated with each cryptographic system, implement appropriate measures (such as hybrid encryption), and prioritize safety in the short term.
Smart money sells off, PIPPIN drops 13% in the long squeeze
PIPPIN has dropped more than 13% in 24 hours, extending its monthly losses to around 36%, primarily due to 'smart money' selling aggressively and pressure from technical factors such as a downtrend structure and the phenomenon of long squeeze.
This adjustment period occurs in the context of memecoins being weaker than the overall crypto market, which has been relatively flat for the past few weeks. On-chain data and liquidity clusters on the derivatives exchange indicate that capital is moving away from high-risk assets, causing PIPPIN's volatility to become choppy and susceptible to being pulled back to liquidity zones.
Software stocks plummet in the AI era after a boom period
Many large software companies are losing tens of percent of their market capitalization as AI tools can significantly shorten software development time, raising concerns that AI will fundamentally change how businesses buy and use software.
The decline of the software acceleration group occurs as investors shift from the expectation of 'AI driving growth' to questioning whether AI will make traditional software less valuable, amid tightening business spending and high capital costs.
The on-chain demand for Polygon (POL) is weakening after a surge in activity in the second week of January, causing prices to drop significantly and increasing the risk of profit-taking pressure.
During the price rally in early January, Polygon recorded a surge in on-chain indicators, but quickly cooled off afterward. This trend shows that demand is not sustainable, while the behavior of both short-term and long-term investors sends contrasting signals, making the 0.12 USD support level a key point to watch.

Finance Minister: Poland's economy clearly outperforms the eurozone
The Polish Finance Minister stated that superior economic growth compared to many euro-using countries is the key reason for Poland to continue holding the zloty, rather than joining the eurozone.
This position reflects the differences in macroeconomic performance between Poland and the euro area, in the context of weak growth in the eurozone and the ECB's significant rate cuts. The story also illustrates the Central European trend of prioritizing monetary independence, a factor that cryptocurrency investors often monitor when assessing macroeconomic risks.
Whales accumulate Ethereum as ETH drops 16%: only break out if…
Ethereum is sending mixed signals: the price weakens after falling below 3,000 USD, but the long-term structure, accumulation activity of whales, and network strength still indicate a support foundation.
The ETH erasing about 16% of the gains in January 2026 has pushed the market into a volatile accumulation phase. The technical model leans bullish, but momentum indicators warn of a pause, causing traders to focus on an important support area.
John Lick Daghita exposed for connection to U.S. government IT contract
ZachXBT accused John 'Lick' Daghita of potentially exploiting his family connection with CMDSS, the unit currently executing an IT contract for the U.S. government related to managing and liquidating seized crypto assets, to access information or wallets controlled by the state.
This chain of reasoning stems from on-chain evidence and the flaunting of assets in chat, leading to wallet addresses being traced. Although there has been no public confirmation from the DOJ or information about arrests, suspicious transactions from the government wallet to the related wallet are still being closely monitored by the community.
Bitcoin decreased by about 6% and Ethereum by about 10% this week, leading to a rotation of cash flow: some coins are still surging while many other large assets are deeply adjusting.
This is the first significant decline week for the leading cryptos this year. The notable point is not only that BTC and ETH dropped, but also the mixed reaction of the entire market, as traders were both taking profits and seeking refuge or 'chasing' high conviction plays.

Bitcoin plummets to 87.880 USD, wiping out 60 million USD in leveraged long positions
Bitcoin's plunge to 87.880 USD triggered a wave of leveraged long liquidations, wiping out over 60 million USD in long positions in just 30 minutes.
The sharp decline occurred against the backdrop of increasing macro risks, as the likelihood of a US government shutdown is forecasted to be higher and trade tensions escalate due to the warning of a 100% tax on Canada.

On-chain data shows that short-term investors are selling at a loss while whales continue to accumulate, creating a pronounced behavioral divergence on the Bitcoin network.
When volatility increases, selling pressure from retail investors and short-term holders rises, while large wallets absorb the supply. This tug-of-war contributes to keeping BTC prices in a sideways range and makes the next direction dependent on the 'exhaustion' level of selling pressure and Spot demand.
Apple's earnings report may raise new concerns in a week of volatility
This week, the series of quarterly earnings reports from the 'big players' on Wall Street could determine whether stocks continue to rise or signal new risks after the recent volatility.
The business results from the technology and industrial sectors will help investors assess the health of the economy, from spending on equipment, advertising, cloud services to construction orders and international trade.
67% of Binance traders bet LONG on Chainlink, is LINK about to reach 14.15 USD?
Derivative data shows that Binance traders are heavily leaning towards long positions with Chainlink (LINK), while the price hovers near the important support area of 11.90 USD, increasing the likelihood of a bounce back but also carrying the risk of volatility due to concentrated leverage clusters.
A high Long/Short ratio often reflects expectations of recovery, but when the price is near the "liquidation clusters" on the liquidation map, short-term volatility can occur quickly in both directions. For LINK, the range of 11.85–12.45 USD is being closely monitored.
