Cardano (ADA) Records First Golden Cross of 2026, but There's a Catch

Is 1.12% of the XRP supply gone? If "gone" means burned, lost or removed from existence, then no. If it means it has been absorbed into ETF holdings and not being traded like usual, that is what the dashboard by SoSoValue is showing.

According to the latest U.S. XRP spot ETF data, the total net assets are $1.24 billion for those vehicles, which makes up to 1.12% of the token's market cap as of Dec. 31. And that line is not just a supply statistic. It is a market-share ratio that translates ETF holdings into a footprint versus the full XRP market value.

The mechanics still matter for the price because ETF wrappers can reduce available float in practice. The coins in these products are not just sitting on exchange books waiting to be sold by default, which can tighten conditions at the margin when demand shows up.

Even though the assets can return to the market via redemptions, this can still have an impact.

All flows in for XRP

If you are looking for the immediate read, flows are the way to go. The same panel shows daily net inflow of $5.58 million, cumulative net inflow of $1.17 billion and total value traded of $22.36 million.

Net assets are spread across multiple tickers, with Canary's XRCP at $319.18 million, 21Shares' TOXR at $246.37 million, Bitwise's XRP at $240.13 million, Grayscale's GXRP at $223.40 million and Franklin's XRPZ at $215.20 million.

With an XRP price of around $1.856 on the daily chart, $1.24 billion suggests that there are about 668 million XRP in these products, based on simple AUM-to-price conversion. If the flows stay positive, the "gone" footprint can grow through more holdings, a higher XRP price or both.

Dogecoin’s pullback is starting to look like a setup, not a breakdown, at least according to crypto analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow), who says the meme coin is behaving the way AMD did before its turn higher last year.

Can Dogecoin Replicate The AMD Rally?

In a X post on Dec. 31, the analyst argued that slipping prices on weakening volume and growing public reluctance to be bullish is exactly what improves the trade’s risk/reward.

“I said that about AMD last year. I’m saying that about DOGE right now,” Cantonese Cat wrote. “The lower price goes down on low volume. The more worried influencers are to publicly be bullish on it. The less people care about this. The better risk-reward ratio there is.”

The Dec. 31 chart is built around Fibonacci retracement levels mapped from DOGE’s prior move, with key bands marked at roughly $0.373 (0.886), $0.297 (0.786), $0.202 (0.618), $0.154 (0.5), $0.118 (0.382), $0.084 (0.236) and a lower reference near $0.049 (0). In that view, DOGE is shown sliding into the 0.382 region (around $0.118), a level many technicians watch as a make-or-break area for whether a pullback remains corrective or risks turning into a deeper unwind.

Below price, Cantonese Cat’s volume bars are annotated with downward arrows, reinforcing the point made in the accompanying commentary: as DOGE moved lower, participation appeared to fade. For the analyst, that combination: declining price paired with softer volume and a more reluctant public tape fits a pattern where marginal sellers can exhaust without attracting aggressive new supply.

Long-Term Dogecoin Price Targets

Cantonese Cat’s earlier Dec. 20 post sets the broader roadmap, describing the preceding stretch as a prolonged downcycle and positioning the current phase as a corrective structure rather than a fresh trend.

“We’ve already had a 13 month bear market for DOGE, with my working hypothesis of this being likely a wave 2 correction prior to wave 3 explosion,” the analyst wrote. “The entire reason why this may play out is that it doesn’t feel likely right now, and you want me to stop posting.”

That Dec. 20 chart also projects upside targets using Fibonacci extensions, with levels plotted well above the prior range. The marked extension ladder includes roughly $0.90 (1.272), $1.25 (1.414), and $1.99 (1.618), with more aggressive levels further out near $4.78 (2.0) and $8.91 (2.272).

The thesis is not that those levels are imminent, but that the convexity of a potential “wave 3” is what makes the current pullback, if it holds the corrective framing, attractive from a risk/reward standpoint.

Notably, the AMD comparison is not the only cross-market framing Cantonese Cat has used recently. The analyst has also drawn parallels between Dogecoin and silver, according to our recent coverage, extending the same core idea across different assets: periods that feel uninteresting or unpopular can be precisely when the setup becomes more asymmetric.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.12.

Shiba Inu is off to a major start in 2026 as key metrics rise, suggesting trader participation. In particular, Shiba Inu is outperforming with an open interest surge.

In a surprising turn, Shiba Inu saw a 20% surge in open interest in the last 24 hours to reach $103.87 million, according to CoinGlass data.

Open interest refers to the total amount of unsettled positions in the derivatives market and might suggest new money entering as well as improving liquidity.

The surge in open interest follows as Shiba Inu reversed a three-day price drop. Shiba Inu fell from a high of $0.00000756 on Dec. 29 to reach a low of $0.00000681 on Dec. 31 before rebounding.

At the time of writing, SHIB remains down 0.43% in the last 24 hours to $0.000007, remaining in a range between $0.00000681 and $0.00000765. Shiba Inu trading volume rose 20.34% in the last 24 hours to $97.06 million.

The current Shiba Inu setup seems like positioning: the price is not moving much, but the volume is rising, which might suggest the market might be preparing for a bigger move.

Being the start of a new year, traders seem to be adjusting their positioning ahead of the next move in the markets.

Best still ahead?

Shiba Inu Telegram admin RagnarShib sends wishes to the Shiba Inu community, saying that the best remains ahead.

RagnarShib says as new year begins, and with it, new opportunities, adding that the best is still ahead. He adds that Shiba is and has always been community-driven, not run by a single person, not by a closed group but by millions of hands holding the same vision.

RagnarShib dispels speculation of SHIB being dead, saying that Shiba Inu is a living ecosystem, built, protected and pushed forward by its community.

"This year finds us stronger, more united, and more experienced. As long as the community stays firm, Shiba will keep moving forward. We keep building. We keep believing. We keep standing together. 2026 belongs to the SHIBArmy," RagnarShib wrote.

In a major development set to benefit the Shiba Inu ecosystem and Shibarium in particular, Zama Protocol has launched on mainnet, completing the first confidential stablecoin (cUSDT) transfer on Ethereum.

Crypto markets started 2026 with a strong attention on Solana, even though the SOL price has been consolidating below $130 for weeks. According to recent on-chain data, whales accumulating Solana-related tokens was the most discussed trend in the market. Additionally, SOL’s network usage and transaction volume dominate despite low price action. This suggests smart money is taking positions, which might soon result in a breakout in Solana price chart.

Solana’s DEX Trading Volume Touches $1.6 Trillion

Solana became one of the top altcoins by performance in 2025 and it outpaced several CEXs by trading volume. According to the Solana vs CEX chart, the altcoin recorded $1.6 trillion in DEX trading volume. This figure ranks Solana just behind Binance which showed $7.2 trillion in trading volume. 

According to an on-chain analyst, CryptosRus, Solana’s rising trading volume hints at increasing usage and transaction among investors. This rise in on-chain indicators amid a price stagnation suggests continuous accumulation among large investors. As a result, it might soon trigger a breakout for SOL price. 

However, any breakout might trigger profit-taking sentiment among short-term holders, as revealed by the NVT data. Solana’s Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio has been rising and it is now at the highest level in seven months.

In a New Year congratulation on X, Strategy, the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder led by Michael Saylor, wrote that data strategy has never mattered more and pointed to 2025 as the year enterprises moved from fragmented tools to unified, AI-ready data foundations. Basically, their 2026 pitch came as — simplify, scale and unlock insights.

This message comes as the Bitcoin side of Strategy's business remains enormous on paper with 672,497 BTC on balance, each of which was bought at an average cost per coin of $75,004. As it stands, the unrealized gain right now amounts to 17.04%, and the whole stash is valued at around $59.04 billion.

However, the equity is acting as if it wants a different story. A TradingView chart shows MSTR at $151.95 on the day, down 2.35%, after a long comedown from 2025 highs. This serves as a reminder that Bitcoin exposure currently is a crowded trade, especially when the chart stops cooperating.

No Bitcoin for Saylor in 2026?

The numbers behind the facade support the pivot. Market cap is shown at nearly $44 billion, with enterprise value at nearly $57 billion. The firm’s own dashboard puts mNAV at 0.739 (basic), 0.824 (diluted) and 0.967 (EV), which indicates that the market is not paying a premium for the coins right now.

Therefore, the 2026 message is really understandable: start selling the AI infrastructure again. If enterprise AI spending continues to accelerate, then budgets will be allocated to data foundations and semantic layers, and Strategy is signaling it plans to be there whether Bitcoin is trending or not.

Shiba Inu just got a reminder that "whales are back" can be a numbers-only story, because Coinbase routing lit up again and the total came in big: 34,924,296,000 SHIB moved out in a short burst after about a month of inactivity.

The transfer was not just one big headline, as visible on a chart by Arkham. It came in four pieces to the same place: The total value of the SHIB is about 19.174 billion, with 14.306 billion worth about $100,000, 1.43 billion worth around $9,980 and a smaller 14.296 million SHIB top-up worth about $99.79.

After everything was said and done, the wallet had about $246,558.67 in total value, with the Shiba Inu coin making up about $244,470 of that. The rest was split up into small ETH and USDC balances.

That packaging is the real deal. Big holders often divide withdrawals into smaller amounts for operational reasons, and Coinbase-labeled hot wallet activity points to custody flow more than a random retail spree.

Market side of Shiba Inu coin transfer

The same address also shows prior inbound activity about a month earlier, including 29.505 billion SHIB and 6.25 billion SHIB. Then it went silent until this new cluster, which makes the timing pop even if the motive remains unclear.

On the market side,  was trading near $0.00000701 on the four-hour chart, with a nearby floor marked around $0.00000699. If that level holds and price reclaims $0.000009, this reads like coins leaving exchange liquidity into private control. If $0.00000699 fails, however, it will start to look like inventory being staged for follow-on moves for the meme coin.
