Tether led all crypto protocols in 2025, generating about $5.2 billion in revenue, according to CoinGecko Research. This figure accounted for 41.9% of total revenue across 168 revenue-generating crypto protocols. Stablecoin issuers dominated the rankings. Just four issuers generated nearly $8.3 billion, or 65.7% of total protocol revenue. This shows how stablecoins stayed strong while other parts of the crypto market struggled. Tron ranked second among blockchains with around $3.5 billion in revenue. Its growth came mainly from being the most used network for USDT transactions, giving it strong and steady network activity. The rest of the top 10 protocols…

Ethereum is trading between $2,930 and $2,950 as of January 25, 2026, after pulling back from January highs above $3,400. The recent decline reflects short-term caution in global markets and heavy selling linked to spot Ethereum ETFs, rather than weakness in the network itself. Despite repeated rejection near the $3,000 level, Ethereum has not shown signs of structural breakdown. Instead, price action suggests consolidation while investors reassess market conditions. Short-term pressure has mainly come from ETF outflows. Between January 20 and 23, spot Ether ETFs recorded more than $600 million in net redemptions. One of the largest single-day outflows came…
Bitcoin is trading near $88,700 as investors weigh a recent pullback from $97,000 against rising regulatory clarity and internal network debates. While headlines around Senate crypto reforms, BIP-110 adoption, and GameStop’s Bitcoin transfer have added uncertainty, price action suggests consolidation rather than panic selling. The $88,000 level has emerged as a key support zone. Market participants are watching closely to see whether Bitcoin can hold this area and regain upward momentum, or break lower and extend the correction. Attention has also returned to Bitcoin’s governance discussions as adoption of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) slowly increases. About 2.38% of Bitcoin…
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their weakest performance in nearly a year after posting $1.33 billion in net outflows last week. The data comes from SoSoValue and covers a shortened four-day trading period. The sharp pullback marks the worst weekly showing since February 2025. It also reflects a sudden shift in investor sentiment after Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.42 billion in net inflows the previous week. Selling pressure peaked in the middle of the week. On Wednesday alone, investors pulled $709 million from Bitcoin ETFs, the largest single-day outflow of the week. Tuesday followed with $483 million in redemptions,…
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has made post-quantum security a top strategic priority, forming a dedicated team to accelerate engineering, research, and community readiness against quantum computing risks. EF researcher Justin Drake said the new Post Quantum team will be led by Thomas Coratger, with support from Emile, a cryptographer behind “leanVM,” a core tool in Ethereum’s post-quantum strategy. “Timelines for quantum risk are shortening,” Drake said. “Ethereum is shifting from background research into active engineering, preparing wallets, transactions, and consensus systems before threats become practical.” The foundation is funding initiatives to incentivize cryptography improvements, including two $1 million prizes: the…
Democrats in the U.S. Senate are pushing amendments to the crypto market structure draft in the Agriculture Committee, ahead of a scheduled markup hearing next week. The proposed changes aim to ban senior government officials, including the president, from profiting from cryptocurrency holdings. Senators also want the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to fill its slate of commissioners before new digital asset rules are enacted. Other Democratic proposals include a ban on bailouts for digital-asset issuers, which Senator Richard Durbin has explicitly requested, and binding requirements for the CFTC quorum, as demanded by panel ranking member Senator Amy Klobuchar. Senator…
Donald Trump’s memecoin has lost nearly all of its value a year after launch, highlighting a sharp decline in interest for the controversial cryptocurrency. The $TRUMP token peaked at about $75 in January 2025, around the time of Trump’s inauguration, but now trades near $4.80–$5, a drop of roughly 93–94% from its all‑time high. Memecoin excitement that once drove massive speculative buying has cooled sharply. Many investors who bought at high prices are now facing heavy losses, while media and industry experts have questioned the token’s long‑term value. Despite the fall in price, $TRUMP remains one of the largest memecoins…
BitGo’s stock fell nearly 22% on its second day of trading, dipping below its IPO price, despite a generally positive week for broader markets. The digital asset custody firm debuted on Thursday at $18 per share, above the marketed range of $15–$17, raising over $212 million and valuing the company at just over $2 billion. By Friday, shares closed at $14.50. The decline comes even as the S&P 500 rose 0.03% and the Nasdaq gained 0.28% on Friday, showing that BitGo’s drop was largely isolated to the company. Founded in 2013 by CEO Mike Belshe and CTO Ben Davenport, BitGo…
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.62 billion in outflows over four consecutive trading days, marking one of the largest redemption periods since the ETFs launched in early 2024. The outflow streak began last Friday with a $394.68 million withdrawal, accelerated to $483.38 million on Tuesday, peaked at $708.71 million on Wednesday, and continued with $32.11 million on Thursday, according to SoSoValue data. Institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs has fallen as the yield on the basis trade—profiting from the gap between spot and futures prices—dropped below 5%, down from 17% last year. Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise, explained that lower profitability…
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao predicts that 2026 will bring a supercycle for Bitcoin, potentially ending the cryptocurrency’s traditional four-year cycle. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Zhao cited the U.S. government’s pro-crypto stance and growing international adoption as reasons he believes Bitcoin could rise sharply this year. “I have very strong feelings it will probably be a supercycle in 2026 for Bitcoin,” CZ told CNBC, while holding both BTC and Binance’s BNB token. He did not provide a specific price target but said it is “easy to predict” that prices will be higher over a 5-10 year…
