NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that NVIDIA will participate in OpenAI's new funding round, but emphasized that the $100 billion investment plan is not an official commitment and will be evaluated gradually. Jensen Huang has high trust in OpenAI and denies any dissatisfaction with its operations.

Author: Viee, Amelia | Biteye Content Team On January 29, 2026, gold experienced its largest single-day drop of 3%, marking the biggest decline in recent times. Just a few days earlier, gold had broken through $5,600 per ounce to hit a new high, and silver also followed the upward trend. The year 2026 has just begun and has already far exceeded JPMorgan's mid-December expectations. Data source: JPMorgan In contrast, Bitcoin remains within a weak correction zone, showing continued divergence from the market performance of traditional precious metals. Despite being called "digital gold," Bitcoin still seems unstable. During periods of inflation, war, and other traditional factors that favor gold and silver, it instead behaves more like a risk asset, fluctuating with risk appetite. Why is this the case? If we cannot understand Bitcoin's actual role within the current market structure, we cannot make reasonable asset allocation decisions. Therefore, this article attempts to analyze from multiple angles.

Wall Street asset manager 21Shares has released its XRP price prediction for 2026, targeting $2.69 by the end of the year.

Author: Go2Mars Web3 Research This article aims to provide an analytical framework to help understand: the current "value return" is not a helpless end to the bear market, but a necessary pain before the birth of the next generation of trusted financial infrastructure. Over the past two years, the crypto industry has experienced Bitcoin shifting from a speculative asset and cycle indicator, to a liquidity pool during monetary easing, and now to a non-sovereign macro anchor asset and strategic reserve option; stablecoins have also evolved from a medium for crypto speculation to a healthy on-chain USD that facilitates cross-border on-chain payments and settlements, providing the world with a low-threshold channel to access USD. In stark contrast, the altcoin market has seen the vast majority of crypto projects disprove themselves so far, with some projects' former glory unlikely to reoccur. More broadly, many projects have perished during their preparation phase due to the industry's bleak outlook. As liquidity tides recede, investment

Recent Bitcoin pullbacks have sparked investor concern. The selling behavior of miners and large investors indicates that the current market is in a controlled "absorption phase." The miner holdings index and net flow suggest their selling volume is below average; exchange reserves and net flows are declining, reflecting risk-averse behavior rather than panic; meanwhile, whale activity shows small-scale inflows, but far below previous levels, implying the market is still undergoing strategic adjustments.

When the US Treasury Secretary discussed the EU's "Terrible Working Group" and the upcoming Federal Reserve Chair appointment in Davos, the underlying message heard by builders in the cryptocurrency world was: Washington's regulatory agenda is about to enter a new phase. This personnel appointment by the Trump administration is far from a traditional central bank governor change; it is a critical decision that will redefine the boundaries between code and law. For a decentralized financial system built on blockchain, the new Fed Chair's technological philosophy and regulatory tendencies will be the most influential external variables over the next four years.\n\nSource: Weekly - Financial News\n\nThe Federal Reserve's Dual Role: Last Lender and Tech Observer\n\nIn traditional understanding, the core functions of the Federal Reserve are price stability and full employment.

Blockchain data shows that stablecoin trading volume reaches up to 35 trillion USD, but actual payments amount to only about 390 billion USD. Most transactions come from exchange capital balancing, arbitrage cycles, and smart contract mechanisms.

Elon Musk claims Tesla is transforming into a 25 trillion USD robot company, with Optimus accounting for 80% of the market value. The 2025 goal is to produce 5,000 units, but only a few hundred have been achieved so far, with the dexterous hand supply chain becoming a bottleneck. Car sales have dropped 8.6% and have been surpassed by BYD, as engineers shift their focus to robots. The current market value is 1.46 trillion, which is 17 times less than the target.

Pi Coin faces difficulties in January: 4.6 million tokens unlocked daily, with an additional 55.8 million tokens dumped at the end of the month. Exchange reserves of 419 million tokens exert heavy selling pressure, breaking below the $0.20 support level, with a target test of $0.15. The supply growth rate far exceeds demand absorption.

The nightmare for Bitcoin bulls seems to be far from over. Market analysts warn that under the backdrop of the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintaining a "tight monetary policy," the imminent US-EU tariff war, and escalating geopolitical risks, Bitcoin may be pushed into the abyss, with a short-term decline to around $58,000 not ruled out. This view aligns with the bearish forecast of legendary trader Peter Brandt, who has been active in the futures market for half a century. Peter Brandt, with 50 years of futures trading experience and known for accurately predicting the 2018 Bitcoin crash, posted that Bitcoin is likely to plummet to the $58,000 to $62,000 range within the next two weeks. In his post, Peter included a technical chart indicating that Bitcoin is currently in a "downtrend," with a key resistance level at $102,300.
