Here is a 2-minute breakdown of everything important that happened in crypto today.
Bitcoin just entered its quietest trading range in years - and that's making traders nervous.
When was the last time you saw Bitcoin this stable? The 60-day trading range is getting tighter by the day, and history shows that's usually the calm before something big.
The on-chain data tells an interesting story. Long-term holders who were rushing to take profits at $100K? They've mostly stepped back.
And while everyone's trying to figure out what's next, retail traders are quietly stacking more Bitcoin than miners can produce.
So what's really going on? Let's make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:
- BlackRock's Larry Fink predicts $700K Bitcoin, citing currency debasement fears. What does it mean? 🤔
- Solana hits 9M new addresses in one day thanks to TRUMP token. How sustainable is this growth when it's driven by meme coins? 🚀
- Coinbase finally fixes 21-hour transaction delays after TRUMP token chaos. Will their infrastructure hold up if we see more meme coin frenzies? 💫
- Tornado Cash wins against US sanctions in Texas court, TORN token jumps 140%. What does this mean for other privacy projects? ⚖️
- Bitcoin's peculiar $18K jump pattern suggests $122K by February. Is this just coincidence or is there more to this theory? 📈
Let’s dive in!
BlackRock's CEO Just Shared a Massive Bitcoin Price Prediction
Larry Fink, the CEO who once called Bitcoin an "index of money laundering," just shared a mind-bending Bitcoin prediction at Davos.
His target? $700,000 per Bitcoin. And his reasoning makes perfect sense.
According to Fink, it's not about speculation or market hype. It's about something much more fundamental - the fear of currency debasement.

A Meme Coin Just Turned Solana Into a Record-Breaking Machine
A presidential meme coin just transformed Solana's ecosystem in ways nobody saw coming.
The network that was once known for its FTX connection is now making headlines for an entirely different reason - it just hit 9 million new addresses in a single day.
The catalyst? A Donald Trump-themed token that reached a staggering $14 billion market cap. For perspective, that's larger than many companies listed on the S&P 500.
Are the new addresses still popping up or was it just a one-time thing? Read the full story!
Coinbase's TRUMP-Related Crisis Just Got Fixed
The TRUMP memecoin frenzy created quite a mess at Coinbase - we're talking about 21-hour transaction delays that had everyone sweating.
Brian Armstrong, Coinbase's CEO, finally announced they've cleared the backlog.
The drama started when millions of traders rushed to grab President Trump's official memecoin on Solana. The surge was so intense it pushed Solana's network fees from their usual $5 million per day to a whopping $17.8 million.
The TRUMP token launch triggered a chain reaction that sent Solana's price to $293 - a new all-time high. Meanwhile, the total value locked in Solana's ecosystem jumped to $13.9 billion.
So what does this surge in retail interest mean for the crypto market? Read the full story!
Tornado Cash Just Won Against the US Government - Here's What It Means
Sometimes David beats Goliath, and this time it happened in a Texas courtroom. The U.S. District Court just reversed sanctions on Tornado Cash.
The price of TORN, Tornado Cash's token, shot up by 140% as the news broke. That's what happens when a court decides you're not what the government thinks you are.
At the heart of this case was a fascinating question: can the government sanction computer code?
So the path is all clear for privacy tokens now? Read the full story!
Bitcoin's New Price Target: A Pattern Too Perfect to Ignore
Something interesting is happening with Bitcoin's price movement, and 10x Research's Markus Thielen might have cracked the code.
According to Thielen, Bitcoin isn't just moving randomly - it's following a precise pattern of $18,000 jumps since the spot ETF approval. This pattern suggests Bitcoin could reach $122,000 by February.
Even Bitfinex analysts are noticing something unusual. Have they confirmed this theory? Read the full story!
