Biggest gainers
On Mud rex's “Top Gainers” list for January 21, 2026, Milkyway is the top mover with about a 47% gain over 24 hours, signaling aggressive speculative interest and relatively low float/volume dynamics.
Other notable gainers on the same list include mid‑cap names like Hyperlane and Catizen, which show double‑digit or high single‑digit percentage moves, often driven by exchange listings, liquidity incentives, or narrative‑driven flows rather than fundamentals.
Biggest losers
On Mudrex’s “Top Losers” list for today, Alchemist AI shows roughly a 21% drop over 24 hours, reflecting a sharp reversal in short‑term sentiment and likely profit‑taking after prior gains.
Outside these niche tokens, major names like Monero, Hyperliquid, TRON, and others are down between about 4% and 16%, fitting into a broad de‑risking move rather than project‑specific news.
Why the moves are so large
A macro shock has pulled over 200 billion dollars from crypto markets in just days as Bitcoin briefly plunged below 88,000 dollars, with investors rotating into safe‑haven assets like gold.
This risk‑off backdrop means:
Large caps fall on macro selling and derivatives liquidations.
Small/mid‑cap tokens with thin order books can swing 20–50% in a day as liquidity providers widen spreads and speculative flows dominate.
