Dear friends, do you remember the Binance Square campaign back in January 2026, when Dusk was being promoted?

Now, Nillion is bringing more attention to Covenants, with Dusk as its first release on Ethereum Mainnet.

What I find most interesting about Covenants is the idea of keeping trading instructions encrypted until predefined conditions are met. This could be especially useful in DeFi, where privacy and protecting trading strategies matter.

I’m also curious to see how Dusk performs on Ethereum Mainnet and what new opportunities it can bring to users. Looking ahead, I’ll be keeping an eye on the Nillion 7-era roadmap. I’m especially interested in how the ecosystem develops and what new privacy-focused tools become available.

As for $NIL , the token has already seen a fairly significant correction, and now I’m watching the market and waiting for a possible bounce. Of course, a lot will depend on the broader crypto market, so nothing is guaranteed.

What do you find most exciting about Covenants and Nillion’s approach to privacy in DeFi? And do you think $NIL could bounce back soon?

Is everyone ready for Saida's rally?$NEAR $ETH $BTC

Arthur Hayes’ Maelstrom crypto fund fully liquidated its $22.3 million altcoin portfolio amid high macroeconomic risks. The large-scale sell-off came as geopolitical uncertainty around the world increased.
$BTC

Yesterday, $BTC and $ETH plunged sharply in price after a massive liquidation of $200 million in margin positions in less than an hour. Following the crash, the price of $BTC once again fell below the $80,000 mark.

Bitcoin currently accounts for about 0.3% of global capital, and this share continues to grow steadily. Analysts estimate that attracting just 1% of global funds would immediately push the price of BTC to at least $275,000.

🍏 The first major iPhone Duo review was mixed

“Polished around the edges, but raw on the inside” — that’s how tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, who has 21 million subscribers, rated Apple’s “foldable” just days before sales began.

He praised the hinge, inner display, and battery, which lasts a full day with some charge to spare.
But the drawbacks are more noticeable than you’d like for that price: the phone is heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold, it has no optical zoom or Face ID, and some apps haven’t yet been updated for the new format. Brownlee says the $2,000 price is worth it only for people who don’t mind the cost and simply want to give it a try.

There’s demand, though. Preorders sold out so quickly that the delivery date was pushed all the way to January 22, so Apple will definitely sell its first batch. Whether the Duo can reach beyond enthusiasts will become clear with the second generation, if Apple takes the criticism into account.

The first sales figures will appear in Apple’s report at the end of January, but we won’t know whether there’s mass-market demand until at least next year.
Though Apple shares are currently at record highs for other reasons.✍️

🎈Deflating

Just a week ago, investors were talking about a $2 trillion pre-IPO valuation for Anthropic. After its investor day, they were already putting it at around $1.5 trillion.

Now, according to the FT, OpenAI has also lowered its target. Its new $30 billion funding round will most likely be priced at a $1.25 trillion valuation, down from the proposed $1.4 trillion. Together, the two largest AI labs have knocked around $650 billion off their desired valuations in seven days.

Morgan Stanley said it offered its wealthy clients a stake in OpenAI. Previously, they had snapped up every round with great enthusiasm. But this time, demand was sluggish (FT). Some investors have simply had enough: OpenAI has raised $122 billion this year alone, and Anthropic nearly $100 billion. Others are waiting to see the price at which Anthropic goes public.

According to Goldman, demand for AI itself remains strong. What has changed is the cost of money, while the build-out of AI infrastructure depended on the confidence that cheap capital would be available for everything. As a result, Goldman’s basket of AI stocks is already 23% below its June highs.

👀 MSFT, GOOGL, and AMZN report next week. The market will also be looking for confirmation that orders from OpenAI and Anthropic are turning into revenue. Sentiment on AI depends on it.

Trump considers imposing 200% tariffs on Ukraine and Russia if the parties fail to reach a peace agreement

According to the US president, trade restrictions helped end eight wars. He suggested this tool could also be used against Ukraine and Russia, but acknowledged that its impact may be limited because of the low volume of purchases.

What to do with a long or short?
Long: Consider it preferably after the price holds above $82,300–82,400.
Short: More interesting if the price decisively breaks below $80,700.
Right now: Entering in the middle of the range is riskier—the price could move either way.
Geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices are weighing on the market, but inflows into U.S. spot BTC ETFs are supporting demand.

They say U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he called Google Maps and asked them to rename the Atlantic Ocean the “Trump Ocean.” Google CEO Sundar replied, “No, no, no. I’m not doing that this time. Oceans are different, sir. They border many countries. Please don’t make us do this.” Trump said they might not be able to resolve the issue and would keep calling it the Atlantic Ocean.
