Senator Warren Warns Against Cryptocurrency in Retirement Funds

Senator Elizabeth Warren has issued a warning about the risks of including cryptocurrencies in retirement funds, highlighting potential threats to investor security. Warren's concerns come amid discussions of a possible executive order from the Trump administration that could allow pension and retirement funds to hold digital assets. In a letter to SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, Warren emphasized the volatility and regulatory uncertainties of cryptocurrencies, arguing that they pose unacceptable risks to retirement savings. The debate over cryptocurrency retirement funds underscores the tension between financial innovation and consumer protection. Warren's intervention has sparked discussions about the prudence of exposing retirement portfolios to the high volatility of digital assets. Financial experts are divided, with some advocating for diversification benefits, while others stress the importance of capital preservation in retirement planning. The SEC faces a regulatory challenge in balancing innovation with investor protection, particularly for retirees who rely on stable pension systems.

Machi Big Brother Reopens $34M ETH Long Amid Heavy Losses

Machi Big Brother, the crypto pseudonym of Jeffrey Huang, has reopened a $34 million leveraged Ethereum long position on Hyperliquid, despite facing $22.5 million in cumulative losses. The high-profile trader's account is now over $67 million below its peak equity. His latest move comes after a series of forced liquidations in December wiped out several of his previous Ethereum longs. Machi's aggressive trading strategy involves high leverage, with his current position backed by less than $2 million in collateral. This leaves him vulnerable to market fluctuations, as a small drop in Ethereum's price could trigger another liquidation. Ethereum is currently trading in a tight range around $3,000 to $3,100, with market sentiment remaining cautious amid ETF outflows and uncertain Fed rate expectations.

BlockDAG Presale Nears End as SHIB and SOL Prices Stagnate

The cryptocurrency market remains in a state of uncertainty, with major assets like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Solana (SOL) showing little movement. SHIB continues to trade within a narrow range, with support at $0.00000852 and resistance at $0.00000915, as technical indicators suggest consolidation. Similarly, SOL faces persistent resistance between $137 and $145, with support holding at $130-$131, as market participants await clearer signals for directional movement. In contrast, BlockDAG (BDAG) is gaining attention as its presale enters the final weeks, set to conclude on January 26. With approximately 3.29 billion coins remaining and a presale price of $0.003, the project has already raised over $441 million. The presale's structured timeline and decreasing supply have heightened interest, positioning BlockDAG as a potential breakout asset in the crypto market.

CFTC Forms Innovation Advisory Committee with Crypto Leaders

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched an Innovation Advisory Committee featuring key figures from the cryptocurrency industry, including Tyler Winklevoss of Gemini and executives from Kraken and Crypto.com. This initiative, announced in Washington D.C., aims to foster collaboration between regulators and innovators to develop market structure regulations that accommodate emerging technologies like blockchain and AI. The committee, led by Commissioner Mike Selig, includes representatives from both crypto exchanges and traditional financial institutions such as Nasdaq and CME. Its primary focus will be on derivatives markets, where the CFTC has jurisdiction, particularly over Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. The committee's work is expected to influence regulatory frameworks, potentially enhancing market stability and consumer protections. This move contrasts with the SEC's enforcement-focused approach, highlighting the CFTC's preference for collaborative regulation. The committee's efforts could reshape the interaction between traditional and decentralized finance, promoting innovation while ensuring market integrity.

Senators Introduce Standalone Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act

Senators Ron Wyden and Cynthia Lummis have introduced a bipartisan, standalone version of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA).

The introduction of the standalone bill comes amid ongoing Senate negotiations on market structure, though it remains uncertain if the BRCA will be included in the updated Clarity Act. The issuance of this standalone version does not alter its prospects for inclusion in the final legislative text.

Over 53% of Crypto Tokens Declared Dead, CoinGecko Reports

CoinGecko's latest report reveals that 53.2% of all cryptocurrencies tracked on GeckoTerminal are now classified as dead, with the majority of failures occurring in 2025. The report highlights that approximately 11.6 million tokens collapsed between 2021 and 2025, accounting for 86.3% of all cryptocurrency failures during this period. The surge in project failures is attributed to market instability and excessive speculation, particularly within the meme coin segment. The fourth quarter of 2025 was notably destructive, with 7.7 million tokens failing, representing 34.9% of all recorded project collapses. This period coincided with a significant deleveraging event on October 10, when $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in a single day. Despite the market volatility, the number of cryptocurrency projects continued to grow, reaching nearly 20.2 million by 2025, driven by the ease of token creation via launchpads. Yearly failure data shows a sharp increase in project collapses, with failures rising from 2,584 in 2021 to over 11.56 million in 2025. The report notes that before 2024, annual crypto project failures remained relatively low, but the introduction of platforms like Solana-based Pump.fun contributed to the surge in low-effort projects and subsequent failures.

Bitcoin's Role in Treasury Strategies Sparks Intense Debate

A recent discussion between industry experts highlighted the evolving role of Bitcoin in corporate treasury strategies, focusing on its impact beyond short-term price movements. The conversation emphasized Bitcoin's growing influence in institutions, credit markets, and bank adoption, suggesting that its true progress is reflected in these areas rather than immediate market fluctuations. The debate also addressed criticisms of companies incorporating Bitcoin into their treasuries, arguing that such critiques overlook the broader strategic benefits, including optionality and operating leverage. The discussion underscored Bitcoin's potential as digital capital supporting digital credit, with a focus on credit markets driving power dynamics rather than price alone. The conversation concluded with insights into the importance of strategic focus and endurance over prevailing narratives in the crypto space.

DOGE Faces Potential 50% Drop Amid Weak ETF Inflows, Analysts Warn

Dogecoin (DOGE) is under pressure as analysts predict a potential 50% price drop due to weak ETF inflows. After reaching a local high of over $0.15 on January 6, DOGE has declined to around $0.13. Analyst Ali Martinez suggests that continued selling could push the price down to $0.06, marking its lowest level since November 2023. The lack of significant interest in DOGE ETFs, with less than $7 million in net inflows, contrasts sharply with the $1.22 billion seen in XRP ETFs. Despite bearish forecasts, some market observers remain optimistic. CryptoPulse highlights strong breakout volume and technical indicators suggesting a potential rise to $0.20-$0.21. Additionally, large investors have recently acquired 140 million DOGE, potentially reducing circulating supply and supporting a price increase if demand holds steady.
