Solana Whale Moves $53 Million in SOL as Price Rallies Over 5%
Solana has started the year on a bullish note, climbing more than 5% over the past 24 hours. However, amid the price surge, a Solana whale appears to be taking profit by moving a large amount of SOL to an exchange.
According to on-chain tracking firm Whale Alert, a single transaction involving 407,001 SOL—worth roughly $53.1 million—was sent from an unknown wallet to the crypto exchange Gate. The sizable transfer quickly caught the attention of the crypto community and sparked speculation about a potential sell-off.
The move comes as the broader crypto market continues its strong rebound into the new year, with major assets reclaiming key price levels. While the exact motive behind the transfer remains unclear, some observers believe it could reflect portfolio rebalancing or profit-taking by a large trader following the prolonged correction seen in the final quarter of 2025.
Despite the whale activity, Solana’s price has remained firmly in positive territory. At the time of writing, SOL was trading around $132, up about 5.28% over the last 24 hours. Given the ongoing price strength, some market participants remain optimistic that the transfer represents short-term profit-taking rather than a bearish shift in sentiment.
$PIEVERSE to 0.70$ — really?
Look closely, fam.
That long upper wick says it all.
After the impulsive move, price did a clean retest, grabbed liquidity, and trapped late longs.
Structure now favors a bearish breakdown.
Next step is liquidation below — 0.70$ zone is the hunt area.
Either we get a sharp bounce from there, or the drop extends.
I’m already in.
Candle close will confirm the breakdown.

$SOL /USDT SHORT-TERM BULLISH CONTINUATION
Hope everyone is doing well.
SOL is showing clean strength after a sharp recovery from the 126 support zone. The structure on the 1H chart remains bullish, with higher lows holding firmly and Parabolic SAR staying below price, signaling trend continuation rather than exhaustion. Buyers are clearly defending dips, and as long as price holds above the 130–131 area, upside pressure is likely to remain intact.
This move looks more like controlled continuation than a final spike. A brief consolidation is healthy here, but the overall bias stays positive unless key support is lost. Patience on entries and disciplined risk management is important at these levels.
Trade Setup (Long)
Entry Zone: 130.80 – 131.50
Stop-Loss: 128.90
Target 1: 134.50
Target 2: 137.80

Trade smart, protect capital, and let the trend do the work.

Cardano Activity Surges 37,851% to Start 2026, Fueling Market Speculation
Cardano has kicked off 2026 with strong momentum, posting a massive 37,851% surge in activity as traders position ahead of the market’s next major move.
ADA has climbed more than 7% over the past 24 hours, outperforming most major cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, ADA was trading around $0.368, up 7.34% on the day and 5.66% on the week. As risk appetite improved following the holiday period, Cardano—alongside Dogecoin—led gains among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
The price rally has coincided with an explosive jump in derivatives activity. According to CoinGlass data, Cardano futures volume on the BitMEX exchange surged 37,851% to roughly $255.52 million, signaling aggressive repositioning by derivatives traders.
From a technical perspective, ADA reversed a four-day decline that lasted from Dec. 28 to Dec. 31, rebounding from the $0.33 area and reaching an intraday high near $0.37. Despite the recovery, ADA has remained range-bound between $0.33 and $0.40 since mid-December.
A clear break and close above the $0.384 level would mark the first sign of strength, potentially opening the door to a move toward the 50-day moving average near $0.407 and, if momentum persists, a push toward the $0.50 target. On the downside, a drop below the $0.33 support could see ADA slide to $0.30 and possibly to the October low around $0.27.

ETH Surges 3.95% as U.S. Banking Legislation and JPMorgan Drive $7.1B Binance Open Interest
Ethereum (ETHUSDT) experienced a 3.95% price increase over the past 24 hours, with the current Binance price at $3,124.67, opening at $3,005.99. The surge in trading activity and price can be attributed to recent legislative developments in the U.S. permitting banks to offer crypto custody, payments, and staking services, which support broader Ethereum adoption. Aggressive long positions and a notable rise in Binance ETH open interest from $6.2 billion to $7.1 billion also contributed to bullish momentum, particularly as Ethereum broke above the $3,100 level. Additionally, positive institutional developments, such as JPMorgan's ongoing work with Ethereum-based tokenization infrastructure, have reinforced market confidence. Ethereum’s 24-hour trading volume reached approximately $24.64 billion, reflecting heightened investor activity, with price fluctuations occurring between $2,957.91 and $3,150.16, and market capitalization in the range of $360–$377 billion.

CONAN is still my favorite meme coin.
Out of all the meme coins I’ve worked on, Conan stands out the most. Not just because of hype but because of the work, vision, and community behind it. Lots of hits but it's still there.
I’ve followed Conan from the start, stayed active through ups and downs, and it’s still the meme coin I believe in the most. Strong narrative, loyal holders, and real engagement that’s what makes a meme coin survive, not just pump.
For me, Conan isn’t just a meme, it’s a part of me.
And I’m still here, watching, supporting, and believing. ❤️💪

World’s Highest IQ Claimant YoungHoon Kim Launches XRPL Token to Support XRP
XRP continues to draw support from YoungHoon Kim, who claims to hold the world’s highest IQ, after he announced plans to launch a token built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to boost the XRP ecosystem.
Kim is frequently described in online media as the “world’s highest IQ holder,” though his IQ claims and academic credentials have not been widely or independently verified. He is a controversial figure on social media, known for making bold statements about technology, artificial intelligence, and crypto markets—particularly XRP—which have often sparked debate within the community.
According to Kim, the project follows a two-chain, two-role structure combining Solana and the XRP Ledger. As part of the initiative, he has already launched $LAMB, a Solana-native crypto asset aimed primarily at driving community growth, social engagement, and meme culture.
Kim said the XRPL-based token will be launched after the $LAMB presale, though its name has not yet been disclosed. He claims the token will deliver functional utility to the XRP Ledger and the broader XRP ecosystem, serving as an operational engine for decentralized governance, DAO participation, and on-chain engagement.
Despite Kim’s stated intention to support XRP, the initiative has been met with mixed—and largely skeptical—reactions from the XRP community. Critics have questioned the credibility of the project, Kim’s IQ claims, and the risks associated with the presale structure of $LAMB and the proposed XRPL token.
Some criticism has focused on Kim’s repeated XRP price predictions, many of which have failed to materialize. His recent $3 XRP forecast did not play out, reinforcing concerns among community members that the project may be more about attracting attention than delivering long-term value, and further fueling skepticism about Kim’s true intentions.

WHY SOLANA IS NOT GOING TO $9 OR $99 😘😘
Recently, some bearish voices have been claiming that $SOL could crash back to $9 (its historical low) or $99. However, looking at the current on-chain data and the technical chart provided, these scenarios are virtually impossible.
1️⃣ THE CHART SAYS "BULLISH"
- Solid Support at $124: The red dashed line at $124.04 is acting as an "iron floor." For SOL to hit $99, it would have to break this massive buy-wall, which has shown strong rejection of lower prices.
- Upward Momentum: SOL is currently trading at $133.08, maintaining a position well above the mid-band. It is currently testing the $133.87 resistance, with the next target at $139.51.
- Structure: The higher-lows being formed on the chart indicate a healthy uptrend, not a collapse.
2️⃣ FUNDAMENTAL STRENGTH OF 2026
The $9 scenario only happened during the "black swan" of the FTX collapse. In 2026, Solana’s position is entirely different:
- Institutional Adoption: Major global entities like Western Union have already integrated Solana for stablecoin operations due to its unmatched speed. Big players don't build on a "failing" chain.
- The ETF Catalyst: With Solana Spot ETFs on the horizon, billions in institutional capital are ready to flow in, creating a price floor that retail bears cannot break.
- Network Reliability: Having achieved 100,000 TPS in real-world testing, Solana is now the undisputed leader for Real-World Assets (RWA) and high-frequency trading.
3️⃣ SCARCITY AND DEFLATIONARY PRESSURE
- Reduced Inflation: As of 2026, SOL’s inflation rate has dropped significantly (estimated at ~3.5%), reducing sell pressure from validators.
- Ecosystem Lock-in: With billions of dollars locked in DeFi and Liquid Staking, the circulating supply is tighter than ever. There simply isn't enough "sell-side" volume to push the price down to double digits.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE FUD. HOLD THE LINE!
$SOL TO THE MOON!

Tom Lee Proposes Boosting BitMine Share Count to 50 Billion, Stock Jumps 14%
Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), has asked shareholders to approve a proposal to increase the company’s authorized shares from 500 million to 50 billion. He said the “dramatic” increase would support capital market activities, potential acquisitions, and future stock splits while helping keep the share price at a reasonable level.
Lee explained that BitMine’s stock tends to track the price of Ethereum. If ETH rises sharply, BMNR shares could become too expensive for many investors. He estimated that if ETH reaches $22,000, BitMine’s stock could climb to around $500, and if ETH trades at $62,500, the share price could reach roughly $1,500. Most investors, he said, prefer shares priced closer to $25.
Markets responded positively to the proposal, with BitMine shares jumping 14% on Friday to about $30.93.
BitMine is the world’s largest Ethereum digital asset treasury company, holding roughly 3.41% of ETH’s circulating supply. Last week, the Nasdaq-listed firm disclosed it had added another 44,463 ETH, bringing its total holdings to approximately 4,110,525 ether. Shareholders have until Jan. 14 to vote on the proposal.
Three Bitcoin mining stocks just triggered signals that historically have not appeared often.
Across different miner profiles, renewable-focused, infrastructure-heavy, and vertically integrated, we’re seeing a rare alignment of short-term setups that have previously preceded meaningful moves.
These signals are not based on narratives or macro headlines, but on repeatable historical patterns tested across multiple market cycles.
Importantly, the setups differ in timing and structure, which matters in a market where selectivity is replacing broad beta exposure.

A silent attack is spreading across EVM networks, draining funds from hundreds of unsuspecting crypto users, according to prominent on-chain investigator ZachXBT. The exploiter behind the activity remains unidentified.
ZachXBT said the attack targets a large number of wallets for relatively small amounts, with most victims losing less than $2,000. While individual losses are limited, cumulative damage is steadily rising. As of the latest update, around $107,000 has been drained, and the total is expected to increase as the attack is still ongoing.
The root cause of the wallet drains has not yet been identified, and no confirmed exploit vector has been established. Although the attacker’s identity is unknown, ZachXBT flagged a wallet address believed to be linked to the activity: 0xAc2e5153170278e24667a580baEa056ad8Bf9bFB.
Wallet drain incidents continue to affect crypto users. Just a week earlier, Trust Wallet disclosed a major security breach involving its browser extension. On December 24, a malicious version of the Trust Wallet Browser Extension (v2.68) was published to the Chrome Web Store outside the company’s standard release process.
The compromised version contained malicious code that enabled attackers to access sensitive wallet data and execute unauthorized transactions. Trust Wallet said the issue affected only users who opened and logged into version 2.68 between December 24 and December 26, with no impact on mobile app users or other extension versions.
Trust Wallet identified 2,520 affected wallet addresses, with approximately $8.5 million in assets drained and linked to 17 attacker-controlled addresses. The company also noted that the same attacker addresses were used in unrelated wallet drain incidents and has pledged to reimburse affected users.
SOL Token Surges 4.88% as Whale Accumulation and High DEX Volume Drive Momentum
In the past 24 hours, SOLUSDT experienced a notable price increase of 4.88%, rising from a 24h open of 126.52 to the current price of 132.69. This upward movement is primarily attributed to large holders accumulating Solana ecosystem tokens and robust trading activity, as indicated by a reported volume of approximately 2.88 million SOL and strong market capitalization figures. Despite the absence of new protocol updates or partnership announcements, technical indicators suggest cautious optimism, with active buying interest and key support levels holding around $124–$127. Whale accumulation and recent transaction volume milestones, including Solana DEXs reaching $100 billion in December, have contributed to renewed positive sentiment and increased volatility, supporting the asset’s ongoing momentum.
Bitfinex Hacker Released Early, Credits President Trump’s First Step Act
Ilya Lichtenstein, the man who confessed to orchestrating the 2016 hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex, said he has been released from prison early and publicly thanked President Donald Trump’s First Step Act, signed into law in 2018.
In a post on X late Thursday, Lichtenstein said his early release was made possible by the First Step Act, a U.S. criminal justice reform law designed to reduce certain sentences, expand early release opportunities, and emphasize rehabilitation. He said he plans to return to making positive contributions in cybersecurity as soon as possible.
Lichtenstein was sentenced to five years in prison in 2024 for his role in the Bitfinex hack, facing charges including conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States. His wife, Heather Morgan—also known by her rapper alias “Razzlekhan”—was also sentenced, though prosecutors said she played a smaller role. Both pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracies in 2023.
The case involved laundering bitcoin worth roughly $4 billion at the time of seizure, making it the largest crypto asset seizure in U.S. history. Lichtenstein has said he executed the Bitfinex hack entirely on his own and cooperated with authorities to help recover assets.
According to a White House administration official, Lichtenstein is currently on home confinement in line with Bureau of Prisons policies, with a listed release date of Feb. 9.
After returning to social media, Lichtenstein also expressed interest in artificial intelligence, saying he has been “offline for four years” and is looking for the fastest way to catch up on AI.

DOGE Surges 12.89% Amid Bullish Momentum, Futures Spike and ETF Launches Drive $23.6B Market Cap
Dogecoin (DOGEUSDT) experienced a strong price surge in the last 24 hours, rising 12.89% to $0.14321 on Binance, largely driven by renewed market interest at the start of 2026. This upward momentum follows increased trading volume—2.00 billion DOGE traded on Binance—and heightened futures activity, with open interest rising to $1.71 billion, indicating active speculation on further price gains. The bullish sentiment was further supported by technical indicators such as a "golden cross" formation, and the breakout from recent price consolidation at the end of 2025. While retail interest per Google Trends remains low and liquidity is reportedly reduced, major wallet reserves have grown and recent ETF launches in late 2025 have contributed to market activity. Dogecoin currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $23.60 billion, ranking it among the top cryptocurrencies.
🚨 BREAKING: BIG BANKS MAY BE JOINING FORCES 🏦⚡$PIEVERSE
{future}(PIEVERSEUSDT)
Whispers from Wall Street suggest major U.S. banks are in talks over large-scale strategic cooperation — and if this materialises, it won’t be a quiet move.
This wouldn’t be a PR partnership.
It would be power consolidation.
If it happens, expect:
🔹 Market shake-ups — liquidity routing, pricing power, and execution dynamics could shift
🔹 New profit lanes — faster compliance, smoother cross-border settlements, shared infrastructure
🔹 Pressure on smaller players — scale advantages widen, margins get squeezed
History is clear: when large banks align, market structure changes — not overnight, but decisively.
💭 The real question:
Does this unlock innovation… or tilt the system further toward monopoly control?$BULLA
