Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Post $1.9 Billion Weekly Inflow Despite Late Pullback
Crypto ETFs delivered a broadly constructive week as strong mid-week inflows outweighed late selling pressure. Bitcoin and ether ETFs led the charge, while XRP and solana quietly extended their positive momentum. ETF Flows Turn Constructive as Bitcoin, Ether Extend January Momentum Exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows told a familiar January story this week: sharp rotations, heavy […]
Data shows Solana now has $873M in Real World Assets. Products like ONDO are taking a large share. SOL ETFs also received $765M in institutional money. But RWAs need strict compliance and identity verification. IOTA provides the solution for this. IOTA keeps trade documents and legal proofs on-chain. Solana provides the speed. IOTA provides the verification.
The market has suffered a severe setback, with BTC dumping to ~$91,900.
The Mechanics: The move was triggered by the U.S. vs. E.U. trade tensions regarding Greenland. However, the depth of the drop was caused by Leverage. • ~$500M liquidated in just 60 minutes. • Total 24h liquidations approaching $850M.
This is a leverage reset. The "Risk-Off" macro environment (Gold making ATHs) is forcing a repricing of risk assets like BTC.
Strategic Analysis: Do not panic if price deviates to $138. This is a standard "Liquidity Reset." In choppy markets, algorithms often push price below evident support ($140) to clear over-leveraged longs. This creates a clean base for the next expansion leg.
🚨 XRP Flippening ETH Incoming? Standard Chartered Says $12.50 by 2028! 📈
🚨 Market Analysis: The "Flippening" Probability.
Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick has outlined a scenario where XRP reaches $12.50 by 2028, potentially flipping Ethereum in market cap during the 2026 cycle. The Math:
Current ETH Market Cap: ~$398B.
Projected XRP Market Cap at $12.50: ~$712B.
For this to occur, we need a divergence: 1. XRP enters a hyper-growth phase (Institutional Utility). 2. ETH dominance stagnates or grows at a lower beta.
This aligns with Kendrick’s broader view of 2026 as a year of "Optimized Risk" where capital rotates into specific utility plays.

What Is PoSA Consensus? The Bold Tradeoff Between Speed And Decentralization
Why can BNB Chain process thousands of transactions per second for less than the cost of a cup of tea, while Ethereum historically remained slow and expensive? The secret lies in a controversial yet highly effective hybrid consensus mechanism: Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA).
🔸 PoSA is the offspring of Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) and Proof of Authority (PoA). It allows the community to stake (DPoS) to elect validators, but the power to validate blocks rests in the hands of a small group with known identities (PoA). 🔸 Unlike the Ethereum network with hundreds of thousands of Validators, BNB Smart Chain limits itself to only 21 Active Validators per epoch. This small number allows for ultra fast data synchronization, enabling a Block time of just 3 seconds. 🔸 In blockchain, you cannot achieve Decentralization, Security, and Scalability simultaneously. BNB Chain chose a bold move: Accepting the sacrifice of some Decentralization to maximize Scalability and user experience. In the fierce Web3 race, do end users truly care about the ideal of absolute decentralization, or do they just need a platform that is good enough: Cheap, fast, and never congested? News is for reference, not investment advice. Please read carefully before making a decision.

EU Prepares €93 Billion Tariffs in Response to Trump's Greenland Threat
Darkfost posted on X. The European Union is reportedly preparing to impose €93 billion in tariffs as a countermeasure to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat concerning Greenland. This development follows Trump's controversial remarks about purchasing Greenland, which have sparked diplomatic tensions between the United States and the EU. The Financial Times reports that the EU's tariff plan is a direct response to the geopolitical implications of Trump's statements. The situation underscores the growing strain in transatlantic relations, with economic repercussions potentially affecting various sectors. The EU's move aims to protect its interests and assert its stance in the face of U.S. foreign policy maneuvers.
Supreme Court Decision on Trump's Greenland Tariffs Could Impact Market Volatility
Phyrex posted on X. The ongoing debate surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, particularly those imposed on Greenland, is causing mixed emotions in the market, described as 'painful yet joyful.' The Supreme Court's upcoming decision on the validity of Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is crucial. If the court rules these tariffs invalid, it is likely that the Greenland tariffs will also be deemed ineffective.Market analysts are closely watching the Supreme Court's stance, as it could significantly influence market dynamics. Besent has expressed confidence that the court will uphold Trump's tariffs. However, the potential refund of taxes previously collected under these tariffs adds complexity to the situation. The Greenland tariffs could further complicate the Supreme Court's decision-making process, possibly delaying the final ruling on Trump's tariffs.The uncertainty surrounding these legal proceedings is expected to increase market volatility, presenting both risks and opportunities. A significant market downturn could offer a chance for investors to buy at lower prices, especially considering the strategic importance of the Federal Reserve Chair's trust and the upcoming midterm elections in the latter half of 2026.
