On January 12, 2026, former New York Mayor Eric Adams launched NYC Token, a memecoin he framed as a tool against antisemitism and anti-Americanism. The token briefly hit a $580 million market cap before crashing 80% amid allegations of a rug pull and multimillion-dollar liquidity removal, with critics also warning about its highly concentrated ownership.

World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance venture linked to the Trump family, has launched its World Liberty Markets onchain lending platform centered on the USD1 stablecoin and WLFI governance token.

XRP extended losses below $2.10, setting a $2.034 low and remaining under the 100‑hour Simple Moving Average. Bulls face immediate resistance at $2.080 and $2.120, while a close above $2.120 could target $2.20 and $2.220. If $2.10 and $2.00 fail, support risk shifts to $1.950, $1.920, and $1.880.

In a Jan. 10 newsletter, analyst Will Taylor from CryptoinsightUK outlined a potential final long entry for XRP below its current support, contingent on Bitcoin forming a double-bottom-style retest that pulls major altcoins into deeper liquidity areas. Taylor's preferred buying zone for XRP sits around $1.90 to $1.82, while his minimum price target stands at $3.40, extending to $4.40 in the medium term and $8-$12 over the long run. At the time of writing, XRP was trading near $2.05, with Taylor noting that daily RSI conditions could still allow one more downside washout before a broader uptrend resumes.

XRP is attempting to keep the $2 level intact after several days of selling, with activity appearing orderly rather than stressed. The 30‑day volume Z‑Score sits around 0.44, hinting at balanced participation. Despite a rebound toward $2.05, price remains under key moving averages, making the $2.30–$2.40 area an important zone to monitor.

Solana’s price recently traded around $140 as it broke out of a multi-month descending channel, putting the $145 resistance level in focus. While weekly new wallets have fallen from 30.2 million in November to about 7.3 million, negative exchange netflows, rising funding rates and higher short liquidations suggest traders are positioning for further upside. This mix of cooling network growth and strong speculative interest now places buyers in control as they watch whether SOL can convincingly clear $145.

XRP saw a brief rebound in early 2026 and is now trading slightly above $2.0. Analysts highlight a recurring setup that previously drove a move from about $0.5 to over $2, with a decisive break above $2.26 and resistance between $3.4 and $3.7 viewed as key levels for the next leg higher.

Canton rallied over 15% after JPMorgan announced the expansion of JPM Coin onto the Canton Network, shifting focus toward real-world settlement and tokenized finance use cases. The CC price is trading around a cup-and-handle pattern near the $0.160–$0.170 neckline, while derivatives open interest has climbed above $27.5 million and many top traders still hold short positions.
