U.S. President Donald Trump is sending a stark warning about the evolving relationship between two major trading partners: China and Canada.

“China is successfully and completely taking over the once Great Country of Canada. So sad to see it happen,” Trump wrote in a recent post on Truth Social (1), adding the quip, “I only hope they leave Ice Hockey alone!”

All the biggest trade deals so far in 2026 don't involve the US

A new trade deal between India and Europe is just the latest pact announced in less than a month's time that doesn’t involve the United States. Long-delayed European plans for increasing trade with a bloc of South American nations also took a step forward, as has a limited trade deal between Canada and China to cut tariffs on electric vehicles and canola oil.
But these new agreements have also shown some of the challenges in global efforts to forge a trading system that circumvents the US.

XRP Price Eyes a Domino Effect to Relive the $3.30 Dream – Here’s How

XRP price is up around 1% over the past 24 hours, but that move alone means very little. What matters more is what is happening underneath the surface.

Short-term traders are exiting, medium-term holders are stepping in, and XRP ETF flows have quietly turned positive again. Together, these shifts are setting up a potential domino effect, where one small technical trigger could lead to a much larger move. Possibly to a level that XRP claimed last year.

Bitcoin Miners are Losing $8,000 for Each BTC Mined, Hashrate Drops
Bitcoin hashrate and mining difficulty have been dropping since November 2025, as Bitcoin miners could have been mining unprofitably according to average cost data.

In particular, data Coinspeaker retrieved from MacroMicro shows a net-negative difference of over $8,000 between Bitcoin’s average mining cost and its market price as of Jan. 19, 2026. By the time of this writing, mining 1 Bitcoin cost approximately $101,000, while the cryptocurrency was trading at around $93,000. The platform gets its average from calculations based on Cambridge University-provided data.
"Through observing consumption of electricity and daily issuance of bitcoin, provided by Cambridge University, we can find out the average mining costs of bitcoin. When mining costs are lower than bitcoin’s market value, more miners will join. When mining costs are higher than a miner’s revenue, number of miners will decrease,” MacroMicro wrote.

This happens because mining Bitcoin is a competitive activity that requires significant loads of computation and energy. The more miners competing for the prize, the harder it becomes to mine a block, and the more expensive the activity becomes. On the other hand, the contrary effect happens when miners leave the network due to low profitability—balancing the difficulty and average cost accordingly.
However, Bitcoin miners may choose to continue mining currently unprofitable BTC, effectively paying a premium for the coins, if they believe its price will increase in the long run. Again, the opposite is also true, as miners could decide to stop mining if they foresee lower prices ahead.

Bitcoin’s Falling Price Puts Miners on Edge

Bitcoin now costs more to mine in the United States than its current market price, according to data from the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI).

The cryptocurrency is currently trading at around $87,900 according to CoinGecko data, while data from the CBEIC and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)—which puts the average nationwide cost per kWh of energy in October 2025 at $0.14—suggest that the current cost of mining one Bitcoin is $94,746.
This average price incorporates more expensive residential and commercial prices, but when taking only average industrial prices for all states ($0.09 in October), the average cost of mining one Bitcoin is still $86,931.

Given ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, Bitcoin could be at risk of falling below this level, potentially putting greater strain on miners based in the U.S.
The situation is comparable or even worse in other countries, with China’s average business energy rate hitting $0.11 per kWh in June 2025, meaning that it costs $88,869 on average to mine a single Bitcoin.

GlobalPetrolPrices.com gives the same rate of $0.11 per kWh for Russia, while Canada benefits from a slightly lower rate of $0.10, equalling a cost of mining one Bitcoin of $88,003.
As an example of one country where large-scale mining is not commercially viable, trade body Cryptocurrency NZ has calculated that the cost to mine a single BTC in New Zealand is now NZ$173,192.96, or $103,799.

On the other hand, Paraguay—which now accounts for around 4% of Bitcoin’s hashrate—has an average mining cost of approximately $59,650, given its average electricity price for businesses of $0.05

Rebound Emerges as Selling Pressure Fades Near Breakdown Zone

Bitcoin is still trading inside a head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart. This pattern often signals a bearish reversal once the price breaks below the neckline.

For Bitcoin, that neckline sits near the $86,100 zone. On January 25, BTC briefly dipped into this area before rebounding. A clean daily close below this zone would activate a projected downside move of roughly 10%.
The rebound, however, was supported by a key momentum signal.

Between December 18 and January 25, Bitcoin’s price formed a higher low while the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, formed a lower low. RSI measures momentum by comparing recent gains to losses. When price holds up while RSI weakens, it often signals that selling pressure is slowing. This is known as a hidden bullish divergence and typically precedes short-term rebounds rather than trend reversals.

$Bitcoin Price Prediction Still Warns of $78,000 Risk — But Tiring Sellers Spark Bounce Hope

Bitcoin is down just over 1% in the past 24 hours, but the bigger story is not the daily move. Over the weekend, the Bitcoin price came dangerously close to confirming a bearish breakdown before staging a short-term rebound.

A technical signal had been building for days, and on-chain data now shows that selling pressure is easing. Still, major risks remain. Whether Bitcoin stabilizes or slides toward $78,000 now depends on how the BTC price reacts at several key levels

$Bitcoin Price Nears Losing $90,000: Deeper Sell-Off Could Be Coming Next

Bitcoin’s recent price rebound proved short-lived, as the crypto king quickly retraced to early January levels after a brief rally. The abrupt reversal has reignited concerns about market fragility.

The failure to sustain higher levels reflects lingering uncertainty of whether the bounce marked a true transition out of the prior bearish phase or merely a temporary relief rally within a broader downtrend.

$Bitcoin hashrate drops 8% as US miners curtail during Winter Storm Fern

As Winter Storm Fern wracked middle America over the weekend, bitcoin miners in the PJM and TVA regions curtailed operations to support the grid as the arctic front left more than 1 million customers without power.

Prior to the storm, PJM Interconnection issued precautionary alerts for its service area covering 13 states and the District of Columbia. The power authority said that the “formidable arctic cold front,” bringing with it single digit temperatures, had the potential to drive peak demand to exceed 130,000 MW for seven straight days – an unprecedented streak.
To address the demand, the Department of Energy issued an order allowing PJM generators to run at maximum output, bypassing environmental limits through January 31. PJM called for a pre-emergency demand response in the BGE, Dominion, and Pepco areas on Sunday, and the operator called for conservative operations through February 1.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) region was hit with the most power outages of any area, with approximately 253,000 customers in Tennessee lacking power at the time of publication. Nashville and Northern Mississippi bore the brunt of physical grid failures.

CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK) CEO Matthew Schultz confirmed in a post Sunday that the bitcoin miner, which operates in East Tennessee, curtailed operations to “push power back to support critical needs.” Schultz noted the move demonstrates the value of interruptible loads to balance and protect the grid.

Why Strategy is still betting on bitcoin

Strategy (MSTR, STRC) has purchased more than $3 billion worth of bitcoin (BTC-USD) so far in 2026 as part of its digital asset treasury strategy. The company's CEO and president, Phong Le, speaks with Market Catalysts Anchor Julie Hyman about the company's decision to keep buying bitcoin, despite the cryptocurrency's fall over the past year.

Shutdown Could Be A Headwind For $BTC

Crypto commentator The Altcoin Daily warned that a U.S. government shutdown could be a headwind. They listed it as one of the reasons BTC could fall off a cliff in the short term, alongside the CLARITY Act issues and the DOJ’s probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. “These three potential problems would be catastrophic to the Bitcoin/crypto bull case in Q1 2026,” The Altcoin Daily added.
Ahead of a potential U.S. government shutdown, it is worth mentioning that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market had reacted to the shutdown that occurred last year. The BTC price had first rallied to its current all-time high (ATH) of $126,000 in the first week of the shutdown. However, it then crashed to around $100,000 following the infamous October 10 crash.

The crash is believed to have been mainly due to Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on China at the time. As such, a potential shutdown could be a tailwind, as Bloomberg had reported that the last shutdown pushed investors to safe-haven assets such as gold and BTC.

Crypto Traders Bet Against U.S. Government Shutdown Despite Looming Jan. 30 Deadline

The odds of a U.S. government shutdown has fallen below 20% today despite a looming January 30...
There is only a 19% chance of a U.S. government shutdown happening by January 31.

There is still the risk of a partial shutdown as Democrats push for Republicans to defund ICE.

Another shutdown could have significant impact on the crypto market.

Crypto traders are currently betting against another U.S. government shutdown despite the upcoming deadline next week. This development is significant as it could impact the crypto market, just like the shutdown that occurred between October and November last year.

$Bitcoin slips below $88,000 amid government shutdown risk and ahead of Fed's first rate decision of the year

Bitcoin slipped below the $88,000 level on Sunday as crypto markets weakened in thin weekend trading, extending a pullback that has weighed on the crypto market over the past week.

BTC traded around $87,800 in U.S. afternoon hours, down roughly 2% over 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. Ether fell toward $2,880, while solana, XRP and cardano each posted losses of between 3% and 5% on the day. Most major tokens have remained sharply down over the past seven days, reflecting the fragile sentiment across the market.
The move caused $224 million in liquidations on bullish bets in the last 24 hours, led by $68 million on bitcoin-tracked futures and $45 million on ether-based futures, according to CoinGlass data.

Weekend moves are often driven less by fresh information and more by positioning adjustments, particularly after periods of heightened volatility earlier in the week.
Traders are entering the new week on heightened alert for possible intervention in the Japanese yen after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned against “abnormal” market moves, comments that followed a sudden reversal in the yen late Friday.

The currency’s sharp rally raised caution across Asian trading desks, even as officials stopped short of confirming any action, per Bloomberg.

What will it take for XRP to break out?

Most likely, it will take a major paradigm shift for XRP to double in value this year. The launch of new spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in November was impressive, but they are unlikely to catapult XRP past the $4 mark.
For a major paradigm shift to happen, there needs to be rapid adoption of the XRP blockchain ledger within the financial services world. In other words, XRP needs to become more than just a niche payment technology: It needs to become a key cornerstone for the way large financial institutions move money around the world.
Currently, XRP is primarily used as a bridge currency for making cross-border payments. But plans are afoot to expand the number of use cases for the XRP token. In 2025, Ripple (the company behind the XRP token) spent nearly $2.5 billion on blockchain-related acquisitions, with the goal of rapidly expanding potential uses for XRP beyond just cross-border payments.
If those plans work out, then the price of XRP could rally significantly. Rapid institutional adoption throughout the year would boost the overall investment thesis for XRP. Instead of being viewed as merely a speculative altcoin with an uncertain future, XRP would be viewed as a high-upside fintech play with a clear path to a higher valuation. If I'm right, that might be enough to send XRP to a new all-time high north of $4.

Consensus estimates for XRP in 2026

In 2026, crypto traders and analysts have dramatically scaled down their future price targets for XRP. One year ago, it was common to find price targets north of $10 for XRP, including a $12.50 price target from Standard Chartered. But this year, the consensus price target for XRP, according to CoinCodex, is a rather pedestrian $2.20.

Yep, that's right. Most analysts are expecting XRP to trade sideways for much of the year. Or, if XRP does go on a stratospheric rally sometime during the year, then it will likely fall back to earth after just a few months. That's what happened in 2025, when XRP soared to a multiyear high of $3.65 in July, only to fall back to the $2 mark by year end.

Prediction: XRP Will Hit $4 in 2026

In more than a decade, XRP has never once traded higher than $3.84.

For XRP to double in value this year, a major paradigm shift needs to happen.

Ripple spent nearly $2.5 billion on blockchain acquisitions last year, and these could help spur a dramatic uptake in institutional adoption for XRP.

At a bargain price of just $2, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) continues to tantalize crypto investors with the prospect of stratospheric upside potential. Unfortunately, in more than a decade, XRP has never traded higher than a price of $3.84.

But 2026 is the year XRP finally breaks out. I'm predicting that XRP will hit a price of $4 this year, and here's why.

A repeat of 2019-2021?

Long-time crypto investors are probably familiar with Chainlink. During the last great crypto bull market rally, Chainlink absolutely exploded in value. It skyrocketed in price from $0.50 in May 2019 to hit a new all-time high of $52 in May 2021.

At the time, the biggest trend in the blockchain and crypto world was decentralized finance (DeFi), and Chainlink was smack-dab in the middle of it. As a blockchain oracle network, Chainlink was able to provide accurate pricing data for blockchain smart contracts. Chainlink became one of the poster children of decentralized finance at a time when many thought blockchain-powered finance was about to take over Wall Street.

Five years later, it might be time for a Chainlink bull market sequel. Just as Chainlink exploded in price five years ago, it might explode in price again. This time, Chainlink is smack-dab in the middle of another important trend: real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. This refers to the transformation of traditional financial assets (such as stocks and bonds) into digital assets that live on the blockchain.

Prediction: 2026 Will Be the Year of Chainlink

Chainlink has emerged as an important player in the world of real-world asset tokenization.

Top consulting firms predict that real-world asset tokenization could be a multitrillion-dollar market opportunity by 2030.

As a result of its ties to asset tokenization, Chainlink could soar in value, just as did back in 2019-2021.

In any given year, it's almost impossible to predict which cryptocurrencies will take off in value. Last year, for example, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and cryptocurrencies tied to artificial intelligence were supposed to soar in value. They didn't.

So which cryptocurrencies are poised for lift-off in 2026? My prediction is that the top-performing cryptocurrencies will be those tied to the future of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which has emerged as one of the hottest trends in the crypto and blockchain space. The best of these is Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK), which routinely ranks among the top 15 cryptocurrencies in the world according to market cap.
