🚨 Solana Breaks Below $100 for First Time Since April 2025 🚨

SOL just lost a major psychological level.

As of Feb 4, Solana is below $100, down 6% in 24 hours and ~20% from recent $126 highs as selling pressure accelerates.

📉 What’s hitting SOL • Broad market risk-off
• ETF outflows
• Memecoin hype cooling fast
• Declining on-chain activity

💬 Crypto Twitter reactions • Bears calling $79… even $30
• Bulls dreaming of $1,000 after $80
• Phantom Wallet joins the fun, joking about using AI to “turn the red chart green” 😅

🏦 Institutional view • Standard Chartered cuts 2026 target to $250
• But raises 2030 target to $2,000, betting on: – Stablecoin payments
– AI integrations
– Scalability actually delivering

📊 Key zone • $100 lost = confidence shaken
• Next big test: $90 → $80 support

This feels like a sentiment reset moment for Solana — hype washed out, narratives questioned.

👇 Capitulation before a monster bounce… or the start of a deeper unwind?

🚨 Solana Crashes Below $110 Amid Brutal Crypto Selloff

SOL plunged over 10% in 24 hours, trading near $103, after recently topping $292. The drop led a wider altcoin wipeout as markets unraveled fast.

📉 What’s driving the dump • $850M+ liquidations across crypto
• Bitcoin below $80K, Ethereum near $2,520
• Step Finance hack drains 262,000 SOL (~$27–30M)
• Falling network activity shaking confidence

📊 What traders are watching • Bulls still calling for long-term $500+
• But charts warn: lose $100 → $90 or lower in play
• Volatility + leverage = danger zone

Classic cycle behavior: hype → leverage → flush.

Now it’s all about whether SOL can hold key support… or if this selloff has another leg down 😮‍💨

🔥 Hyperliquid Smashes $790M Open Interest on HIP-3 Markets

Hyperliquid is quietly doing CEX-level numbers on-chain 👀

🔹 What’s happening?
• HIP-3 markets hit $790M open interest
• Daily HIP-3 volume around $1.5B
• Anyone can launch a perp DEX by staking 500,000 $HYPE
• Markets now include metals & equity indices, not just crypto

📊 Liquidity Check
• BTC perps show tighter spreads & deeper books than Binance
• Fast execution powered by Hyperliquid’s high-performance L1

📈 Market Reaction
• $HYPE jumped +21% to $26.77
• Analysts calling it a true DeFi rival to centralized exchanges

🧠 Why this matters
DeFi isn’t just copying CEXs anymore — it’s starting to outperform them where it counts:
speed, liquidity, and permissionless market creation.

❓ Do you think Hyperliquid can actually replace centralized exchanges for perps — or will traders still trust CEXs when size really scales? 👇

🚀 $RIVER Token Smashes New ATH at $84 — Hype vs Hard Questions

$RIVER is on an absolute tear in early 2026 👇

🔹 What is River?
• Launched late 2025 by Riverdotinc
• DeFi protocol enabling cross-chain deposits (Ethereum, Sui, more)
• Users mint overcollateralized satUSD stablecoins
• Powered by LayerZero interoperability

📈 Why the Pump?

🇮🇳🔒 India Restricts Privacy Coins on Crypto Exchanges

India’s FIU-IND has updated its guidelines, asking crypto exchanges to block deposits and withdrawals of privacy-focused coins 👇

🚫 Affected Coins
• Monero (XMR)
• Zcash (ZEC)
• Dash (DASH)

🧠 Why the Ban?
These coins use advanced privacy tech like:
• Ring signatures
• Zero-knowledge proofs
• Obfuscated transaction trails

➡️ While great for privacy, they make tracking illicit funds extremely difficult, raising AML concerns.

⚖️ Important Clarification
• Holding privacy coins is still legal
• Only trading on regulated Indian exchanges is restricted

🗣️ Expert View
Cybersecurity expert Sudhakar Lakshmanaraja called it a balanced move—pushing toward clearer crypto regulation while protecting investors and compliance standards.

🌍 Bigger Picture
India joins a growing list of countries tightening rules around privacy coins as regulators prioritize transparency over anonymity.

💬 Is this a fair compromise between privacy and regulation—or the beginning of a wider crypto crackdown in India?

🇺🇸🚀 Trump Pushes U.S. as the World’s Crypto Capital at Davos
.
At the World Economic Forum (Jan 21, 2026), Trump doubled down on making the U.S. the global leader in crypto 👇

📜 CLARITY Act Spotlight
• Splits crypto oversight between SEC & CFTC
• Aims to give Bitcoin & digital assets clear rules
• Passed the House in 2025, now awaiting Senate approval
• Investor protection remains the key debate

🏛️ Pro-Crypto Moves So Far

• Progress on stablecoin regulation
• Growing political backing from Sen. Cynthia Lummis

🏦 Industry Reaction

• @CZ (Binance) and crypto leaders welcomed the vision
• Markets remain volatile, but long-term optimism grows

🔮 Big Picture
If passed, the CLARITY Act could mark the most important U.S. crypto regulation yet—shifting the country from enforcement-first to innovation-first.

💬 Will regulatory clarity finally unlock the next crypto supercycle in the U.S., or will the Senate slow everything down again?

🎂 1 Year Since Trump’s $TRUMP Memecoin — Down 93%

Launched Jan 18, 2025 on Solana, $TRUMP exploded on hype after a Truth Social post:
• Peak: $75 (next day)
• Now: ~$5
• Drawdown: −93%
• Market cap: ~$1B

Key points traders remember 👇
• 200M tokens at launch, 1B total supply
• ~80% held by Trump-linked entities
• Fresh drama as a team wallet sent 381K tokens to Binance
• Community split between “fastest gains ever” and “rugged by the president”

Irony check: while $TRUMP collapsed, traditional markets under Trump rallied, with the S&P 500 up ~16% and hitting record highs.

Lesson of the cycle?
Hype fades, tokenomics don’t. 💭📉

Aster DEX Turns On Buybacks as ASTER Hits New Lows 📉🔁

Aster DEX has activated token buybacks after ASTER slid to an all-time low amid heavy selling and Bitcoin’s pullback from recent highs.

What’s happening:

• 20–40% of daily platform fees now used for buybacks
• Part of Stage 5 (launched Dec 23), which can allocate up to 80% of fees
• Buybacks executed transparently on-chain from a public wallet
• Comes after months of volatility despite prior large buyback efforts

Why the market is split:

• Supporters see this as real revenue-backed support, not promises
• Critics argue buybacks can’t offset weak sentiment + dilution fears
• Timing matters — buybacks work best with stabilizing volume, not falling demand

Fee-based buybacks are meaningful only if usage rebounds. Without growing activity, they slow the bleed but don’t reverse trends. Execution and consistency will decide whether this becomes a base or just damage control.

💬 Do you view protocol buybacks at all-time lows as a smart long-term play — or too little, too late without user growth?
