📈 Gold or stocks: which is more profitable over 25 years

If you had invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 2000, you would now have $77,495.

But if you had invested the same $10,000 in gold, your capital would have grown to $126,596.

Despite crises, inflation, and wars, it is gold that preserved and multiplied capital more than 12 times.

🫠 1 Bitcoin fee

Someone wanted to transfer 1 BTC to the Kraken exchange, but ended up with 0.0001 BTC ($10) because the fee was 0.99 BTC ($105k).

Consider that you locked in a profit, just not the way you wanted 😁

🇨🇦 Canadian Investment Regulator Announces New Rules for Crypto Assets! Here Are the Details

The Investment Regulatory Authority of Canada (CIRO), one of Canada’s top regulatory bodies in the investment sector, has announced new rules for cryptocurrency custody services.

The newly published “Digital Asset Custody Framework” sets clear standards for how member brokerage firms operating cryptocurrency trading platforms (CTPs) should protect client assets.

CIRO stated that the new framework aims to prevent losses resulting from hacking attacks, fraud, and inadequate corporate governance. The rules will be implemented through membership terms as a temporary measure until permanent regulations are finalized. This is intended to allow for a faster response to emerging risks.

At the heart of the regulation is a risk-based system that categorizes crypto custody institutions into four tiers. These tiers, determined by criteria such as capital strength, regulatory oversight, insurance coverage, and operational resilience, will determine how much of a client’s assets custodians are allowed to hold.

Custodians with the highest security level can hold 100% of client assets, while this rate drops to 40% for the lowest level, Tier 4. In-house custody by brokerage firms is limited to a maximum of 20% of the value of client assets.

The framework also mandates strong governance policies in areas such as key management, cybersecurity, incident response, and third-party risks, as well as compulsory insurance, independent audits, security reports, and regular penetration testing. It will also be mandatory to clearly define liability for losses due to negligence in custody agreements.

CIRO emphasized that this step aims to strengthen investor protection while also supporting innovation. The organization stated that lessons learned from the past QuadrigaCX case guided this framework.

🟣 Solana Price Prediction: $SOL Breaks $125, Hits $104

Solana slid sharply over the past few sessions, extending a short-term selloff and breaking below several nearby support levels on the daily chart.

The move accelerated after $SOL  failed to hold above the $125–$130 area, where price had been consolidating in late January. Once that zone gave way, sellers pushed the token lower in quick succession, sending price down toward the $104 area by early Feb. 3. The decline unfolded over multiple red daily candles, signaling sustained selling rather than a single liquidation event.

At the same time, $SOL  moved decisively below its 50-day exponential moving average, which had been tracking near $128. That level had acted as dynamic support through much of December and January. However, as price slipped under it, the average flipped into overhead resistance, reinforcing downside pressure during subsequent sessions.

Momentum indicators also weakened. The relative strength index dropped toward the low 30s, reflecting growing bearish momentum as the selloff progressed. Meanwhile, volume expanded during the down days, pointing to increased participation on the sell side as price moved lower.

Earlier attempts to stabilize near $120 failed to attract follow-through buying. Instead, price rolled over again, breaking a short rising trendline that had formed during the late-January bounce. That breakdown marked the latest lower low on the chart, keeping the near-term structure pointed downward.

Overall, the past few days showed a clear shift in control from buyers to sellers, with Solana retracing a large portion of its January gains as downside momentum built across the daily timeframe.

🔸 TD Sequential flags Solana shift, Ali Charts says

Meanwhile, Market analyst Ali Charts said the TD Sequential indicator called Solana’s local top on Jan. 9 and has now flipped to a buy signal.

In a post on X, Ali Charts said the indicator “perfectly timed” the earlier peak in SOL and now suggests a potential turnaround after the recent slide.

🟠 Bitcoin drops below $74K, erasing post-Trump rally gains

Bitcoin crashed below $74,000 on Tuesday, falling more than 6% to hit its lowest level since November 2024, when Donald Trump secured his second presidential term.

The leading digital asset had climbed from $74,000 following Trump’s election victory to an all-time high of nearly $126,000 in October 2025. The rally was driven by expectations that his administration would pursue crypto-friendly policies.

Since then, the administration has taken a more lenient stance. A new SEC chair was appointed, the GENIUS Act passed, discussions around the CLARITY Act advanced, and a White House crypto council was established.

Still, these moves haven’t pushed digital assets higher. Investors appear to be expecting more concrete action from the Trump administration to revive momentum.

Bitcoin has now posted four consecutive monthly losses. Tuesday’s drop also marks a new low for 2026, erasing gains from the January rally that briefly pushed prices to $95,000.

The selloff swept across major crypto assets. Ethereum fell nearly 10% to $2,100, Solana dropped 10% to $97, and XRP slid 6% to $1.52.

More than $280 million in positions were liquidated in the past hour, with 24-hour liquidations exceeding $620 million.

Traditional markets also declined, with the S&P 500 losing 1.4% and the Nasdaq shedding over 2% as risk-off sentiment spread across asset classes.

💎 Hyperliquid ($HYPE ) Jumps 76% in 2 Weeks as HIP-4 Launch Nears — Is More Upside Left?

Hyperliquid has recorded a sharp price surge as anticipation builds around the launch of HIP-4. HYPE has rallied strongly in recent sessions, driven by interest in fully collateralized outcome contracts.

These contracts settle within fixed price ranges and cap gains and losses. The design suits prediction markets and options-style DeFi strategies. While optimism is rising, demand has not yet peaked.

🔸 Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 Impact Yet To Be Reflected In Price

Despite HYPE’s strong performance, social dominance remains relatively muted. Data shows limited discussion compared with similar price outliers.

This suggests the rally has not attracted broad retail attention. Lower social exposure often reduces the risk of overcrowded positioning, which can support trend sustainability during volatile market phases.

Another factor appears to be trader fatigue. Many market participants remain cautious after repeated single-asset pumps during a broader bear cycle. Additionally, HIP-4 developments have not fully reached mainstream crypto audiences.

This delayed awareness is preventing excessive speculation and helping HYPE avoid entering overbought territory.

Derivatives data highlights strong bullish exposure in the futures market. Liquidation maps show a clear dominance of long positions. Long-side liquidations stand near $3.86 million, while short liquidations total just $93,700. This imbalance reflects confident positioning among traders expecting continued upside.

Such skewed exposure often fuels momentum during rising trends. As the price climbs, HYPE shorts are forced to cover, reinforcing upward pressure. However, risk remains concentrated.

The largest liquidation cluster sits near $26. A move toward that level would trigger $3.86 million liquidation, challenging bullish structure and weakening confidence across leveraged positions.

🟠 An open gap in $BTC

Against the backdrop of Bitcoin's 9% drop over the weekend, a gap of $84,100-$77,600 formed on the CME chart.

As a rule, such gaps are immediately filled and serve as strong resistance for the price. I'm waiting for the gap to be fully filled, and only then will the further direction of the movement become clear.

🤔 Bloomberg's senior strategist Mike McGlone predicts that the price of Bitcoin could fall to $50,000.

He notes that the reduction in the volatility of the SP500 index to historically low levels creates unstable conditions for risky assets.

He also points out the additional risk associated with Donald Trump's unpredictable policies.

In his opinion, a Bitcoin level of around $100,000 could be a suitable point for opening a short position with the aim of returning to an average value of approximately $50,000.

🟣 Solana Price Prediction: Can $SOL Rebound After 59% Drop?

Solana slid from about $247 to near $101.43, a drop of roughly 59%, as the selloff extended into early February.

Solana price slide keeps pressure on bounces

Crypto trader TIMA (@timaxbt) pointed to the move in an X post, saying buyers who entered near $247 are now deep underwater as price continues to grind lower. He also described the latest volume surge as capitulation style trading and argued that rebounds have failed quickly.

The chart supports a broader downtrend. After trading above $180 to $200 in October, SOL rolled over and printed a series of lower highs through November and December. Price then moved mostly sideways in a lower range before slipping again in January.

The latest leg down pushed SOL from the low $120s into the $100 area in a fast sequence of red candles. At the same time, the volume bars expanded into the selloff, including a visible spike near the recent drop, which signals heavier turnover as price broke into a new local low zone.

Solana tests key support as chart debates double bottom versus deeper retrace

The weekly chart shared by market analyst Gally shows $SOL pulling back into a long-term support band after failing to hold above the $180–$200 region. Price has moved steadily lower since mid-January, breaking below trend support and sliding toward the high $90s, where prior demand zones sit.

On the chart, two nearby lows have formed around the current level, raising the question of a possible double-bottom structure. At the same time, the move also fits a broader retracement within the larger cup-shaped formation that spans multiple years. A deeper pullback toward the $79 area remains visible as the next major horizontal support if current levels fail to hold.

The structure shows repeated rejections near descending resistance, while volume expanded during the latest drop, pointing to heavy participation on the selloff. Momentum indicators on the lower panel remain weak, reflecting continued downside pressure rather than a confirmed reversal.

🫨 Shiba Inu Open Interest Crashes 11% as $SHIB Price Hits Near 3-Year Low

Shiba Inu fell to lows last seen in October 2023 as the crypto market deepened a sell-off that has persisted in recent weeks.

A total of $2.45 billion has been liquidated alone in the last 24 hours following a weekend drop, with significant losses recorded among most digital assets. Long positions accounted for the majority of liquidations, coming in at $2.27 billion, with shorts accounting for only $180 million.

This imbalance points to traders being caught unawares by the crash while staying optimistic about a rebound after weeks of range-bound price action in the markets.

Amid the price drop, Shiba Inu saw its open interest crash, falling 11%. Shiba Inu's open interest came in at $75.74 million, with futures flow dropping 193% in the last 24 hours, suggesting traders reducing exposure in the derivatives market.

Thin weekend liquidity increased selling pressure as trading volumes declined into the weekend, a setup that might boost volatility.

🔸 SHIB price drops

Shiba Inu saw a sharp price drop on Saturday, falling to a low of $0.00000617 last seen nearly three years ago, in a four-day drop.

Shiba Inu team member Lucie reacts to the market crash, which has seen $2.45 billion in positions wiped out, saying: "these crashes all follow the same script. Over-leverage, panic, forced selling, repeat. Survival in crypto is not about timing every move. It is about a strong community and staying present when everything shakes." "But we got this," Lucie added.

The thin liquidity hanging over the market alongside risk appetite waning might suggest more of a reset.

Shiba Inu has broadly declined since the Jan. 5 high of $0.00001008; meanwhile, RSI indicators are nearing oversold levels at 30, hinting at the possibility of a relief rally in the coming sessions.

In the event of a rebound, Shiba Inu might target $0.00000785, $0.00001008 and then $0.00001047. Support lies next at $0.0000055 if the declines continue.

💧 Sui Positions Itself as the Blockchain for Autonomous AI Agents

Sui Foundation says AI is moving from generating recommendations to completing tasks, a shift it describes as “agentic” execution. In a January post, the foundation argues that once software can book services, allocate resources, or trigger transactions, trust depends on provable outcomes rather than readable outputs.

The network frames the current internet as optimized for human control, with features such as session expirations, manual retries, and dashboards that assume a person will resolve errors. It adds that the state is often fragmented across separate services, making it hard to confirm what happened without interpreting logs. In this view, autonomous agents operating at machine speed can turn partial failures into costly inconsistencies.

💬 AI isn’t just generating anymore. It’s acting.Autonomous agents need more than APIs. They need shared truth, enforceable permissions, atomic execution, and provable outcomes.That’s what Sui is built for. Building the internet for AI that acts. — Sui (@Sui ) January 31, 2026

Sui’s message is that autonomous execution needs shared truth and enforceable constraints across systems that do not share a single operator. Sui blockchain is an execution environment designed to coordinate multi-step actions and settle them into a single, verifiable result.

In other news, CNF noted that the Sui network is targeting 2026 to introduce protocol-level confidential on-chain payments with controlled audit access for compliance needs. Under the plan, only the sender and recipient would see details such as amounts and addresses, while enabling authorized audits when required.

📉 Bitcoin breaks key support level as Glassnode warns of further price breakdown

U.S. president Donald Trump’s surprise nomination of former Fed governor Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair boosted the dollar, unwound the precious metals rally, and is bringing bitcoin below a key support level.

Onchain data shared by Glassnode shows bitcoin was consolidating just above key structural support around $83.4K, the lower bound of its short-term holder cost basis model.

A breakdown below that zone could open the door to a deeper slide toward $80.7K, the so-called True Market Mean.

That breakdown is occurring. Over the past 7-day period bitcoin $BTC $83,460.68 lost more than 9.2% of its value and now trades at $81,200.

The broader market, measured via the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, lost 12.4% of its value over that period. That has meant the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to “extreme fear” over the week.

Glassnode’s report notes that short-term holder supply held at a loss with $BTC above that level remained at 19.5%, well below the 55% capitulation threshold, suggesting some resilience despite downside pressure. However, buyer conviction is being tested as price drifts lower.

On the derivatives side, funding rates remain muted, pointing to cautious speculative appetite. Options markets are pricing in greater demand for downside protection, with dealer gamma flipping negative below $90K. That increases the risk of volatility spikes if support breaks.

Taken together, the data paints a picture of a fragile but not yet broken market. Liquidity remains the key variable.

The crypto market may currently be gripped by fear, but that could be a good signal.

According to crypto analytics platform Santiment, sentiment across various cryptocurrency communities has plunged to extreme lows, levels that have historically preceded price recoveries.

In a report, Santiment highlighted the rise in bearish commentary on social media as a rare bright spot in an otherwise downbeat environment.
