🚨🚨 $BTC 🚨💥🔥 Tennessee lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow the state to hold bitcoin as part of its public financial reserves.

🚨🚨$ADA 🔥💥🚨 Cardano saw its open interest plunge as the crypto market intensified an earlier sell-off on Friday.

In the last 24 hours, Cardano's open interest came in at just $607 million, a 8% drop over this time frame, according to CoinGlass data.

At press time, Cardano was down 5.44% in the last 24 hours to $0.3274, in line with the crypto market sell-off that has seen $1.74 billion in daily liquidations. Long positions, or traders expecting prices to rise, accounted for majority of this figure.

President Donald Trump on Friday named Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair, ending a prolonged odyssey that has seen unprecedented turmoil around the central bank.

The decision culminates a process that officially began last summer but started much earlier than that, with Trump launching a fusillade of criticism against the Powell-led Fed almost since Powell took the job in 2018.

The pick of Warsh, 55, likely won’t ripple markets because of his past Fed experience and Wall Street’s view that he wouldn’t always do Trump’s bidding.$BTC $BNB

🚨🚨$BTC $ETH 💥🔥🚨 .S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) suffered heavy redemptions on Thursday, with nearly $1 billion yanked in single session as crypto prices slid sharply and risk appetite evaporated.

🚨$BTC 🚨💥🔥 Binance announced that it will convert $1 billion in stablecoin reserves held in its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) entirely into bitcoin over the next 30 days.

In an open letter published Friday, Binance said this decision was made to support the industry through market cycles and periods of uncertainty, emphasizing its continued belief in bitcoin's long-term value. SAFU was established to protect users against losses from unexpected incidents like hacks or platform issues.

To address potential volatility from holding bitcoin instead of stablecoins, Binance said it will conduct regular audits and rebalancing of the fund based on market value. 

"If the fund's market value falls below $800 million due to BTC price fluctuations, Binance will rebalance the fund to restore its value to $1 billion," the exchange wrote.

At first glance, the announcement reads like a routine infrastructure upgrade. In reality, it signals a strategic shift — and one that mirrors many of the problems Ripple has spent years highlighting.

Overall, SWIFT is not adopting blockchain. It is not integrating $XRP. And it is not abandoning correspondent banking.

Instead, it is acknowledging the same structural issues Ripple has pointed out for years — while choosing to solve them in a way that preserves the existing system.

🚨 $SOL 💥🔥🚨 Solana ($SOL ) price action continues to deteriorate, with the broader market structure remains firmly bearish. Despite brief relief rallies, $SOL  has consistently failed to regain upside traction, reinforcing the prevailing downtrend.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins told the Journal he expects crypto legislation to pass this year but noted regulators can proceed without it.

SEC and CFTC leadership will hold a joint event on January 29 to discuss harmonizing crypto regulation and supporting US leadership in the digital asset market. The event will include remarks and a fireside chat, and will be webcast live from CFTC headquarters.

Their joint efforts could include determining which crypto assets fall under each agency’s jurisdiction.

XRP Suffers Technical Breakdown as Trump, Tech, Politics Rattle Markets

At 11:22 a.m. on Jan. 29, XRP is trading at $1.8008, extending a sharp intraday decline and marking a decisive break lower after several sessions of choppy consolidation. Price is down more than 5% over the past 24 hours, with selling pressure accelerating late in the session and driving XRP to fresh short-term lows near $1.78 before a modest bounce. The latest candles show price attempting to stabilize just off the low, but overall positioning reflects persistent downside momentum.

🚨🔥 $XRP 💥🚨🔥 $XRP  outlook depends on defending the $1.86–$1.87 support zone, with potential upside toward $1.90–$1.95 if sentiment improves.

A break below $1.86 could push $XRP  toward $1.80, as traders reassess risk amid macroeconomic uncertainty.

The market is likely to remain range-bound until a clear catalyst emerges, with traders watching key technical levels and broader economic signals

🚨 BREAKING 💥🔥🚨 XRP price correction is 6% short from challenging the multi-months support of $1.78, signaling a pivot moment for the asset’s short term trajectory.

Open interest tied to $XRP futures contracts shows a slight uptick to $3.46 billion, indicating a renewed speculative interest among traders.

Bitcoin Price Steadies Near $90,000 as Fed Pauses Rate Cuts, Powell Signals Neutral Stance

Bitcoin hovered near $89,000 on Wednesday as the Federal Reserve opted to hold interest rates steady, pausing its rate-cutting cycle and striking a notably calmer tone on inflation and the labor market.

The bitcoin price traded above $90,000 earlier in the session before slipping to around $89,500 as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at his post-meeting press conference.

The move came after the Fed announced it would keep its benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, ending a streak of three consecutive 25-basis-point cuts delivered in September, October, and December.

Tether Weighs Gold and Bitcoin as Dual Stores of Value

According to Reuters reporter Polina Devitt, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the company plans to allocate between 10% and 15% of its own investment portfolio to physical gold by the end of 2026, marking a notable expansion of its hard-asset strategy.

Ardoino clarified that the allocation applies only to Tether’s proprietary investment portfolio, which is funded by excess profits, and not to the reserves backing its stablecoin products, such as USDT or the gold-backed token XAUT.

“For our own portfolio, it’s reasonable that we are going to have around 10% in bitcoin and 10% to 15% in gold,” Ardoino told Reuters, framing the move as part of a broader diversification effort.

🚨🚨 ALERT 💥💥🔥🚨 Bitcoin is once again facing new geopolitical risk following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat against Iran. This development comes as the flagship cryptocurrency seeks to reclaim the psychological $90,000 level ahead of the Federal Reserve decision today.

🚨💥 $XRP 🔥🚨💥🔥 XRP edged up modestly as broader crypto outperformed, with price action reflecting consolidation rather than renewed risk appetite. There were no fresh catalysts driving the move, leaving XRP trading as a positioning market rather than a headline-driven one.

Repeated tests of support attracted buyers, but upside attempts stalled quickly, reinforcing the view that traders remain hesitant to commit ahead of a clearer directional signal.

🔥🚨 $DOGE 🔥🚨💥  

The latest gold rush has produced a new all-time high for both gold & silver, but today’s $1.7 trillion wipe-out in the precious metals markets testifies to the fact that the oldest forms of money can also be very volatile.

Meanwhile, the OG meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has kept itself above $0.12, holding steady for the past 24 hours. For Billy Markus, the creator of Dogecoin (DOGE) along with Jack Palmer back in 2013, is convinced this portrays another case of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
