Solana has introduced the v3.0.14 validator client for Mainnet-Beta, urging both staked and unstaked nodes to upgrade to enhance network resilience. At the same time, SOL trades around $135 with analysts watching $145 as a pivot and $187 as key resistance before February. Broader roadmap upgrades, including Firedancer and Alpenglow, aim to boost scalability while price structure signals compression and potential upside toward higher psychological levels.

XRP is trading just over $2 after an early January rally briefly reached $2.40, with the pullback holding above a flipped short‑term support. An inverse setup with the US Dollar Index around 99 has preceded major XRP advances, including a $3.65 peak in July. If the dollar weakens again, another leg higher could emerge; sustained strength may keep price consolidating near $2.

On 10 January 2026, Nasdaq and CME Group announced the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, including assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Chainlink. LINK’s price was retracing toward a key imbalance region around $13, while liquidity data highlighted a notable cluster of roughly $1.32 million near $15. Technical indicators and on-chain activity suggested traders were positioning for a potential directional move rather than engaging in panic selling.

Binance Wallet announced an exclusive Booster and Token Generation Event for Unitas (UP), with subscriptions opening on January 12, 2026 at 18:00 (UTC+8). The event targets a $50,000 raise in BNB for 10 million UP under an over-subscription model, capping each user's deposit at 3 BNB with proportional allocation.

A technical analyst focused on XRP states that the token is trading in a fragile mid-range structure, with key resistance sitting at $2.19–$2.34. A decisive five-wave advance above this band and the prior $2.42 peak could signal a new impulsive move higher, while failure at resistance may extend the correction toward support zones near $1.68 and $1.21–$1.55.

From early 2025 into early 2026, BTC's volume dominance slid from 45–50% toward 30–35%, while altcoins expanded above 55% and often 60–65%. ETH's share fluctuated between 20% and 30%. On-chain metrics show Ethereum addresses climbed from about 300 million to 370 million, but BNB Chain led with past 730 million addresses and roughly 4.4 million daily active users.

Ethereum is trading close to $3,090 and moving within a narrow $3,080–$3,100 range after a multi-day slide from the $3,250–$3,300 area. Short-term gauges show indecision, with intraday RSI in the low-to-mid 40s and MACD slightly negative. Key levels include support at $3,050 and resistance at $3,120–$3,150, with $3,250 still a cap.

Ethereum was trading near $3,092 with little 24-hour movement as large-scale staking, short liquidity and whale activity began to reshape its outlook for Q1 2026. SharpLink Gaming added to its 864,840 ETH treasury and restaked about $170 million on Linea, while heavy shorts around $3,400 and sizable leveraged whale positions increased the chance of a squeeze and further upside. However, very low transaction fees highlighted weak on-chain demand, meaning a confirmed breakout and retest would still be needed before ETH could realistically push toward $4,400.
