Surge in negative sentiment on social media may indicate the continuation of market rebound

According to news from HashKey, based on monitoring by Santiment, since January 28, Bitcoin has dropped by 16%, reaching a low of $74,600, and has currently rebounded to $78,300. Santiment analyzes that this market rebound is related to retail investor selling behavior, indicating that market trends are often contrary to public sentiment. In addition, negative sentiment regarding cryptocurrencies on social media has surged, with retail investors' sentiment reaching its most pessimistic state since the market crash in November 2021. Currently, it is the most pessimistic period for retail sentiment since the crash on November 21. Typically, after such large-scale negative sentiment, the market tends to rebound. So far, the trend of this rebound has performed well, similar to the rebounds that occurred after previous panic sentiment spread.

The White House failed to reach an agreement on stablecoin yields, and differences remain.

The news from Hash World Chain reports that the White House recently held a meeting, gathering representatives from the cryptocurrency industry and Wall Street banks to discuss the Senate's cryptocurrency market structure bill, but they could not reach an agreement on the issue of stablecoin yields. President Trump's cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt chaired the meeting, with the main goal of pushing forward the legislative process of the bill. During the meeting, discussions revolved around whether to link stablecoins to yields and rewards. Although representatives from the cryptocurrency industry remained optimistic about the meeting's progress, the bank representatives failed to propose specific compromises. The White House has requested substantial progress on technical terms within this month to aid the bill's passage through the Senate Banking Committee's review. Banking representatives pointed out that legislation must ensure support for loans to local families and small businesses while maintaining the safety and health of the financial system. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency industry representatives emphasized that legislation should not penalize innovators and consumers who view digital assets as the future foundation of finance. Currently, the bill has passed the House and Senate Agricultural Committees. Next, it still needs to pass the Senate Banking Committee's review, but it currently faces multiple negotiation barriers, including issues related to stablecoin yields, anti-corruption clauses, and illegal financial protections.

Tether announces the opening of the Bitcoin mining system, launching MOS and SDK

Hash World Chain News reports that Tether announced at the 2026 Plan ₿ Forum held in El Salvador that it will open its Bitcoin mining operating system Mining OS (MOS). MOS is a Bitcoin mining system used for large-scale management, monitoring, and automation, capable of integrating hardware, energy, infrastructure, and operational data into a single system, providing end-to-end visual management of the mining site. It coordinates complex components by viewing the machines, electricity, containers, and physical infrastructure of the mining site as a whole. The system not only monitors computing power but also tracks energy usage, equipment health status, and site infrastructure, helping operators comprehensively manage the mining environment and avoid using disparate software tools. Additionally, Tether announced the launch of Mining SDK, a development framework supporting MOS, and plans to collaborate with the open-source community for completion and release in the coming months. Mining SDK is a modular toolkit that developers can use with their existing tools and APIs to quickly build mining software, dashboards, and internal tools.

74-year-old man in France kidnapped and tortured for 16 hours: kidnappers mistook his son for a cryptocurrency tycoon

According to reports from French media, three men in their 20s were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and torturing a 74-year-old man. The incident occurred in the early morning of January 25 in Voiron, Isère, in southeastern France. The kidnappers attempted to extort $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency from the victim's son but ultimately discovered that the son was not a cryptocurrency tycoon, but an ordinary web developer. Police stated that the victim was tortured for nearly 16 hours after being kidnapped, including having his fingers cut off and suffering facial injuries. The kidnappers also took the victim to a back room of a bar to film abuse videos, which they sent to his son via encrypted messages to demand ransom. After confirming the mistake regarding their target, the kidnappers released the victim that evening. In recent years, France has seen an increase in kidnappings and violent cases related to cryptocurrency. Statistics show that last year, France reported 19 similar cases, including the kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland and his wife. Police remind cryptocurrency holders to remain vigilant against potential threats.

U.S. lowers tariffs on Indian goods to 18%, India stops buying Russian oil and switches to American oil

According to reports, U.S. President Trump announced a trade agreement with India. Under the agreement, the U.S. will significantly reduce tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 18%. In exchange, India will lower trade barriers, stop purchasing Russian oil, and instead buy from the U.S. and possibly Venezuela. Trump noted that Indian Prime Minister Modi has committed to significantly increasing 'buying American,' including energy, technology, and agricultural products valued at over $500 billion. The U.S. will eliminate the 25% punitive tariffs that were imposed due to India's purchase of Russian oil. At the same time, Modi stated that the agreement will allow 'Make in India' products to enjoy lower tariffs and expressed gratitude to Trump. Experts analyze that this move will align India's tariff levels with those of other Asian countries, helping to alleviate pressure on Indian exports and the rupee exchange rate. India's Trade Minister stated that the agreement will bring more development opportunities for the Indian economy. It should be noted that details of the agreement have not yet been fully disclosed, including the specific timeline for tariff reductions and the list of commitments for purchases by India. Additionally, Trump hinted that India may replace some Russian oil imports by buying Venezuelan oil.

Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng responds to recent four major rumors

In a recent announcement, Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ) responded to four major rumors. He clarified the rumor of a $7 million trading volume triggered by a false Polymarket post, stating that the event did not occur and was not present on any prediction market. Regarding the comments about 'CZ canceling the super cycle,' he mentioned that he was merely expressing a weakening of market confidence and did not have the ability to control market cycles. Concerning the claim that 'Binance sold $1 billion worth of Bitcoin,' CZ stated that this was a user trading behavior, unrelated to Binance, and that Binance's wallet balance only changes with user withdrawals. In response to doubts about the 'Binance SAFU fund not being converted to BTC as planned,' CZ explained that the fund conversion will be completed within 30 days, possibly at the deadline or concentrated transfers weekly, and emphasized that Binance, as the best centralized exchange in terms of global liquidity, will not conduct purchases through decentralized exchanges. He further pointed out that the $1 billion operation has a limited impact on Bitcoin's $1.7 trillion market value, serving merely as a symbolic gesture. Finally, CZ stated that he will continue to focus on the development of BNB.

Galaxy Digital states that Bitcoin may drop to the 200-week moving average of $58,000

According to news from Hash World Chain, Alex Thorn, the research director at Galaxy Digital, indicated that the recent price of Bitcoin has been weak, falling by 15% from January 28 to January 31, and experiencing a significant drop of 10% in a single day on January 31, resulting in over $2 billion in long contract liquidations. The price of Bitcoin dropped to a low of $75,644, falling below the average cost price of the U.S. Bitcoin ETF at $84,000, and nearing the annual low of $74,420 set in April 2025. Currently, 46% of the Bitcoin supply is in a state of loss. The analysis points out that Bitcoin may further probe down to the supply gap bottom near $70,000, and could even test the 200-week moving average (approximately $58,000) and the realized price (approximately $56,000). These two price levels historically mark the bottom of cycles, providing strong entry opportunities for long-term investors. Additionally, while the profit-taking behavior of long-term holders has slowed, there has not yet been a large-scale accumulation phenomenon from whales or long-term holders in the market. The report also mentions that Bitcoin has recently failed to rise in sync with traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver, which undermines its rationale as a 'currency hedging tool.' The analysis believes that in the coming weeks to months, Bitcoin may continue to face downward pressure, but long-term investors can look for entry opportunities at key support levels.
