"There is always an altcoin season"
Many cryptocurrency traders are still waiting for the next altcoin season to begin, Arthur Hayes said it has been underway since the beginning.
"There is always an altcoin season... and if you always say there is no altcoin season, it's because you didn't take advantage of what went up," Hayes said during a podcast interview published on YouTube on Thursday.
Hayes stated that many traders still expect the altcoin season to unfold in the same way as in previous years, assuming that the same cryptocurrencies and narratives will repeat. "We wanted it to be like the previous altcoin season because then we felt we knew what we had to do," Hayes said.

Always HODL
The word "HODL" stopped being a typographical error a long time ago. It has become a battle cry, a mantra for those who believe that bear markets are just temporary pauses on the road to success.
What the former CEO of Binance ironically recalled when taking — or attributing — the following quote to Churchill: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: what matters is the courage to HODL."
Behind this conscious joke lies an unrelenting truth: volatility is not an anomaly of the crypto market, it is its nature. HODL is more than investment advice; it is a philosophy that mixes patience, trust, and long-term vision. When everything wobbles, some sell in panic. Others, the "hodlers," grit their teeth and hold the position.

The SEC publishes an updated standard for tokenized securities
In its press release, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that a tokenized security remains a valid security under U.S. law, regardless of how cryptocurrency records may interpret it. The agency seems to opine that, while the form of tokenized securities is changing, these assets will remain within the SEC's jurisdiction.
The new update comes at a time when the agency seeks to clarify rules regarding assets in the country. Last month, the SEC and the Federal Reserve announced key changes to their policies to promote tokenization and institutional participation in general.

Plasma: The L1 optimized for stablecoins challenges traditional networks

Jerome Powell: "A weak labor market will justify further rate cuts."
During his FOMC press conference, the Fed chairman stated that a weak labor market would justify further rate cuts. However, they will keep interest rates stable if the labor market remains strong, even if inflation remains high.
Your comments came after the Federal Reserve meeting, where the FOMC decided to keep interest rates unchanged in the target range between 3.50% and 3.75%. The committee noted that the unemployment rate has shown signs of stabilization, while inflation remains somewhat elevated.

RWA War: Ripple Treasury vs Solana and Institutional Dominance
Ripple has launched Ripple Treasury, a new platform that combines GTreasury software with Ripple's blockchain technology, an important step in the company's expansion into institutional finance.
The platform, resulting from the acquisition of GTreasury for $1,000 million, aims to facilitate cash and digital asset management for global companies, eliminating the need for pre-financing.
Institutional interest is clear: XRP spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $9.16 million on January 27, reflecting strong demand, despite Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs seeing net outflows on the same day.

Trump threatens Iran: Gold hits a new record of $5,300, but BTC shows a risk
In a Truth Social post, President Trump warned that a "massive Armada" is heading to Iran, hinting at a possible attack and urging to negotiate a nuclear deal. This warlike rhetoric, which alludes to the "Midnight Hammer Operation", has heightened geopolitical tensions.
The price of Bitcoin fell below $90,000 after the threat. BTC is at risk of falling, especially considering how the leading cryptocurrency reacted when the United States attacked Iran last year for its failure to reach a nuclear weapons deal; at that time, the event triggered a risk aversion and BTC fell significantly below $99,000.

Tom Lee: Gold is a "Genuine Giant", but the PENGU rally has a hidden engine
Investors are increasingly turning to precious metals as gold and silver reach historic highs. In this context, Tom Lee, head of research at BitMine, states that the trend indicates something more than mere short-term speculation; it is a "real and genuine asset class" driven by geopolitical uncertainty, dollar weakness, and moderate central bank policies.
Lee insists that this is not bad for stocks, but he does highlight that the performance of cryptocurrencies has lagged. Historically, periods when metals rise sharply are often followed by gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum once the metals stabilize.

Monad, Bitcoin and Pippin: The bullish momentum collides with BTC consolidation
The Monad token rose over 13% in the last day
According to TradingView data, the Monad token has risen over 13% in the last 24 hours, surpassing the performance of the cryptocurrency market by nearly 1%. This price increase is attributed to new improvements in its ecosystem, such as a network upgrade proposal expected in early February 2026. Since the launch of its mainnet in November, the adoption of this EVM blockchain has grown significantly.
One contributing factor is Kintsu, a liquid staking protocol that launched SuperMON vaults with a 14.51% APY, attracting over 100 million dollars in TVL, which increases the demand for the Monad token.

What to expect from the Fed meeting for the cryptocurrency market?
The highly anticipated Fed meeting in January has generated a consensus in the market: the central bank is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate stable. The certainty is 97%, according to CME FedWatch, with markets not discounting any movement following three consecutive cuts in 2025. The Fed opts for patience in the face of high inflation and recent labor statistics.
Although the decision on rates will be predictable, Jerome Powell's press conference will be the decisive moment. Analysts will look for indications of future rate cuts, which are currently forecasted for June and December. Powell will address the inflationary environment and the labor market, and his stance will be crucial for investors.

The Plasma Phenomenon: Paul Faecks and the Race for the Trillion Dollars
In the world of digital finance, few names have generated as much polarization and amazement in such a short time as Paul Faecks. At 26 years old, the founder of Plasma (XPL) has gone from being a strategist in the shadows to leading what many consider the most direct attack on network dominance in the stablecoin market.
The "Blitzscaling" of the Billionaires
The legend of Plasma was definitively cemented in September 2025, during an event that is already part of the annals of crypto history: a public fundraising that reached 1,000 million dollars in just 90 seconds. With no prior agreements with venture capital (VC) funds or traditional private presales, Faecks bet on an "open launch" model that overwhelmed all servers and expectations.

Trump in Iowa: Rieder to the Fed? The S&P 500 reaches historic highs before the speech
According to The New York Times, Trump's speech in Iowa will focus on affordability and economic policy, touching on the agricultural economy affected by tariffs.
