Bitcoin has dropped out of the top 10 global assets by market capitalization.

Bloomberg: Bitcoin has become less volatile than gold. Gold’s 30-day volatility has exceeded 44% — the highest level since the 2008 crisis (BTC: 39%). The “safe-haven asset” is swinging more violently than crypto. Gold collapsed by 10% in a single day (from $5,600 to $4,400), the sharpest drop in more than 10 years. Bitcoin also fell (down 40% from its peak), but gold now looks more unpredictable.

Strategy purchased 855 BTC for approximately $75.3 million at an average price of about $87,974 per BTC.

Binance has started buying BTC — the first purchase of $100 million has been completed. Exchange address: 1BAuq7Vho2CEkVkUxbfU26LhwQjbCmWQkD. Bitcoin bounced from $74,500 and is now trading at $77,000.

Bitcoin closed January with a 10% correction — marking the fourth consecutive month of declines and the worst losing streak since 2018.

Strategy’s BTC holdings are now down by approximately $900,000,000. Michael Saylor’s company holds 712,647 BTC ($53.6B) with an average purchase price of $76,037.

Winter storms in the U.S. forced local Bitcoin miners to disconnect from the grid. Against this backdrop, Glassnode recorded a 12% drop in hashrate over four months. On January 24, the metric reached a local low of 690 EH/s, and has since recovered to 970 EH/s. According to experts, mining revenues fell sharply amid declining prices and operational disruptions. Daily mining revenue dropped from $45 million to a yearly low of $28 million within a few days, before only partially recovering to around $34 million at present. The situation indicates extremely low profitability for mining companies under current price levels and mining difficulty, even after multiple difficulty adjustments, researchers added.

X user Zeng Ying claimed that she was the girlfriend of TRON founder Justin Sun “during the early stages of his entrepreneurial career” and says she can prove artificial price manipulation of the TRX token. According to her, her former partner used the personal data and mobile phones of several employees to register multiple Binance accounts for wash trading. She stated that she is ready to provide the U.S. SEC with all evidence for an investigation, including WeChat message records. She also claims that Sun used his money and connections to buy “protection” from influential figures and to build a positive public image.

Amid the correction, the True Market Mean indicator for Bitcoin has fallen below the market price for the first time in two and a half years. The metric shows the average purchase price of coins by investors, excluding miners. Analyst Keith Alan suggested that a double bottom could form around the $74,000 level. This zone coincides with the April 2025 support line — the same level Bitcoin dropped to during the current sell-off. However, MN Trading founder Michaël van de Poppe noted that the RSI on Bitcoin’s weekly chart against gold has fallen below 30. “This is a reversal signal that triggered at bear market bottoms in 2015, 2018, and 2022. And it’s triggering again,” the expert added.

🎉Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin turns 32 today.

🗣 OKX CEO Star Xu criticized Binance, stating that the main cause of the October 10 market crash was that Binance, without providing sufficient warnings about risks and limits, encouraged users to convert USDT and USDC into USDe — a token with hedge-fund–like characteristics — and allowed them to repeatedly use it as collateral, creating a high-risk cycle.

🫥 Flash Crash on October 10, 2025: What really happened on Binance? At that time, open interest in BTC futures and options exceeded $100 billion, with systemic liquidations reaching $150 billion. Binance released its own report stating that all major systems (matching, risk management, clearing) operated without interruption. There was also no platform-wide downtime. The exchange acknowledged two local issues (both occurring between 21:18 and 21:51 UTC): 🔴 Slowing of the transfer subsystem (up to 30 minutes) 🔴 Temporary depegging of USDe/WBETH/BNSOL due to low liquidity and slower rebalancing across platforms According to Binance, these issues occurred after the peak of the crash — 75% of all liquidations had already happened earlier. Therefore, these incidents were not the cause of the crash, although Binance later fully compensated client losses.

Tether earned over $10 billion in 2025 — a record. The company currently holds $6.3 billion in free reserves.
