#BTC The upward trend amid increasing pressure from the White House on the US Federal Reserve's Leadership may prove temporary.

The BTC/USD pair is holding within a medium-term downtrend, but the past week has seen mixed performance.

Following the launch of Operation Midnight Hammer by the US military and the subsequent arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, accused of narco-terrorism, prices headed towards 94700.00.

However, concerns about a possible January pause in monetary easing by the US Federal Reserve later returned to the market, and "digital gold" lost all its gains.

Today, the price is once again trying to return to an upward trend, the main driver of which could be the escalation of relations between the White House and the leadership of the US Federal Reserve.

# Cash amid regulatory

Privacy coins set to take the lead in 2026 as regulation accelerates demand for on-chain anonymity.

The segment of privacy coins outperforms the broader cryptocurrency market, with a roughly 290% rise in 2025.

The rising user count on the cryptocurrency tumbler Tornado Cash amid regulatory pushes, such as the 2025 GENIUS Act, reflects a surge in demand for privacy.

Andreessen Horowitz anticipates narratives such as “secrets-as-a-service” and “spec is law” could make privacy the strongest moat for crypto in 2026.

#ADA

Cardano rises, driven by softer US inflation

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows that headline inflation increased by 2.7% annually in December, in line with forecasts.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report highlighted that core inflation rose 2.6%, softer than the expected 2.7%, indicating mild cooling in underlying price pressures excluding food and energy.

Cryptocurrency prices rose slightly after the CPI report, with ADA rising above $0.40. If the rebound steadies, interest in crypto assets could pick up ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting at the end of the month; however, the market has partly priced in the possibility that the Fed will leave rates unchanged in the 3.50%-3.75% range.

#ADA

Retail interest in ADA remains low, as reflected by futures Open Interest declining to $742 million.

#BNB

BNB Price Forecast:
On the verge of breakout as derivatives traders bet on gains

BNB price nears the upper boundary of its recent consolidation range after trading within in for around two months.

Derivatives metrics support bullish sentiment as open interest and long bets rise alongside positive funding rates.

The technical outlook indicates that any breakout could reach the $1,064 target.

# Funding Rates

How does Funding rates affect cryptocurrency prices?

Funding fees bridge the difference between spot prices and prices of futures contracts of an asset by increasing liquidation risks faced by traders. A consistently high and positive funding rate implies there is a bullish sentiment among market participants and there is an expectation of a price hike.

A consistently negative funding rate for an asset implies a bearish sentiment, indicating that traders expect the cryptocurrency’s price to fall and a bearish trend reversal is likely to occur.

#CRYPTO

How does Open Interest affect cryptocurrency prices?

Higher Open Interest is associated with higher liquidity and new capital inflow to the market. This is considered the equivalent of increase in efficiency and the ongoing trend continues. When Open Interest decreases, it is considered a sign of liquidation in the market, investors are leaving and the overall demand for an asset is on a decline, fueling a bearish sentiment among investors.

#XRP Active Addresses Metric

Source: Glassnode

Meanwhile, the XRP derivatives market has continued to weaken since January 6, when futures Open Interest (OI) surged to $4.55 billion. CoinGlass data shows the OI, representing the outstanding value of futures contracts, averaging $3.93 billion on Tuesday, reflecting the gradual decay.

This persistent decline suggests investors are losing confidence in XRP’s ability to sustain the uptrend and may be employing risk management measures to limit further losses.

#XRP

Low on-chain activity weighs on XRP price outlook

The number of addresses actively transacting on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has declined by 17.5% to approximately 42,600 as of Monday from 51,500 recorded on January 5, according to Glassnode’s data.

Address activity on the protocol has persistently declined since July, from above 66,000, signaling reduced user engagement. Further decline would mean low retail demand, thereby depriving XRP of the tailwind needed to sustain the recovery.

#XRP Ripple:

Ripple (XRP) is trading sideways above support at $2.00 at the time of writing on Tuesday. Recovery has remained elusive despite steady inflows into spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which have cumulatively attracted $1.23 billion.

Despite the steady inflows reported, low retail demand, slowing on-chain activity, and macroeconomic uncertainty are among the factors likely to be contributing to slugging price action.

XRP holds steady above the $2.00 support but remains below key moving averages, including the 50-day EMA.

The XRP Ledger is seeing declining activity, with the number of active addresses falling by 17.5% over the past week.

The XRP derivatives market remains relatively weak, with futures Open Interest shrinking to $3.93 billion on Tuesday.
