Early 2026 opens with weak crypto demand from ETFs.
The start of the year is marked by a clear lack of demand in the cryptocurrency market, reflecting a much more cautious stance from investors.
This contraction in liquidity across the crypto sector is being strongly felt.
On the spot Bitcoin ETF side, after two years driven by large capital inflows and strong speculative momentum, early 2026 looks more like a phase of risk reduction.
Market participants appear to be reassessing their risk exposure in a more uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitic environment.
Recent data shows that investors are largely staying on the sidelines, with cumulative flows turning negative in 2026. Compared with the relatively solid levels seen in 2025, the year 2026 is starting with around $1.8B in net outflows.
The contrast with the dynamics observed in 2024 and early 2025 is striking.
Those periods were marked by sustained capital inflows and a significant expansion in market liquidity. However, it is important to note that 2025 ended on a more negative tone.
Cumulative ETF inflows declined noticeably from about $27B to $20B by year end, already signaling a slowdown in momentum before the start of 2026.
From this perspective, the current weakness appears more like an extension of a decelerating trend than a sudden break.
The absence of this liquidity is now being felt in the spot market. ETF flows played a meaningful role in expanding market liquidity.
With this demand channel currently weakened, spot markets are becoming more sensitive to selling pressure and short term volatility.
A sustained return of ETF inflows would likely be a key catalyst for restoring a stronger market structure, improving liquidity conditions, and rebuilding investor confidence.

1MBABYDOGE Surges 12% Amid Community Activity, Burn Milestone, and Puppy.fun AI Launchpad Integration
The price of 1MBABYDOGEUSDT on Binance rose 12.04% in the last 24 hours, from $0.0003837 to $0.0004299, largely attributed to increased community activity following the removal of the 1MBABYDOGE/FDUSD trading pair and ongoing discussions about liquidity. Continued implementation of the hyper-deflationary burn mechanism, with over 51.7% of supply burned, and progress in integration with the Puppy.fun AI launchpad have also contributed to positive sentiment and higher trading volume. Recent volatility and mixed market signals were influenced by active trading, speculation on technical resistance levels, and previous social media buzz, including meme coin trends and charitable initiatives. Current market metrics show heightened activity with trading volumes ranging from $719,750 to $5.34 million and market capitalization estimates between $31.18 million and $79.96 million, confirming that 1MBABYDOGEUSDT remains highly volatile but actively traded.
AAVE Token Surges 12% Amid Grayscale ETF Filing, SEC Update, and Major DAO Funding Proposal
AAVEUSDT has experienced notable price appreciation in the last 24 hours, with the current Binance price at 126.33, up 12.46% from a 24h open of 112.33. This surge appears closely tied to recent governance developments and market news: Grayscale’s filing for a spot AAVE ETF and the SEC’s conclusion of its investigation without enforcement action have boosted investor confidence. Additionally, Aave Labs’ proposal to direct all protocol revenue to the DAO and their request for $50 million in funding have sparked active community engagement, potentially driving further market interest. The launch of Aave V3 on Mantle Network with incentive programs and significant USDT inflows are also contributing factors. AAVE currently holds a market cap in the $1.68–$1.916 billion range, with strong trading volume reported across multiple sources.
🔥🚨BREAKING: CHINA SLASHES TARIFFS FOR 53 AFRICAN NATIONS WE KEEP TAXES ON U.S., END TARIFFS FOR OTHERS
$42 $PIPPIN $SPACE
Big news from Beijing! China has announced that starting May 2026, all products imported from the 53 African countries it has diplomatic ties with will enter China completely tariff-free. This means no import taxes — a huge boost for African exporters and a major shakeup in global trade.
In simple English: Africa now gets a massive trade advantage. Chinese markets will open up for African goods like never before — from raw materials and agricultural products to manufactured goods. This is China’s way of strengthening ties and expanding its influence across the continent.
Experts say this move could dramatically shift trade flows, attract more foreign investment to Africa, and challenge competitors like the U.S. and EU in the region. African economies that rely on exports may see a surge in revenue, while China secures cheaper, direct access to vital resources.
Suspense factor: Some analysts warn this could escalate global competition, pressure Western countries to follow suit, and trigger a new era of trade alliances. The world is watching closely — Africa-China trade is about to go to a whole new level! 🌐💥
This isn’t just a trade deal; it’s a geopolitical power move that could reshape global markets for years.
$BTC might be in the early stages of building a larger B-wave rally. If that’s the case, we’d expect the move higher to take shape as a clear ABC structure marked in white on the chart. The main resistance zone to watch sits between $86,600 and $115,040.
For momentum to build toward that area, price would first need to establish a higher low. That hinges on the micro support level we’ve been tracking in shorter-term updates it needs to hold.
Still, we can’t rule out another leg down just yet. The recovery from the February 6 low still looks like a corrective 3-wave move, which leaves the structure a bit fragile.
The alternative view marked in orange suggests that what we’re seeing now might be a wave 4, not an A-wave.
If that’s the case, a push toward new all-time highs could eventually come into play. But that scenario would need confirmation in the form of a clean five-wave impulse to the upside.
For the bullish case to really gain traction, price first needs to break above the weekend high. After that, reclaiming the red line at $74,460 which marks the April low would be the next key step.
