While most major altcoins have also been sluggish, a few notable gainers like XMR and RAIN have posted double-digit weekly increases. The total crypto market cap holds steady around $3.18 trillion as investors await the next catalyst.

A classic rotation pattern is unfolding in cryptocurrency markets as capital flows from consolidating giants Bitcoin and Ethereum into higher-risk altcoins like XRP and Solana. Fueled by ETF speculation and market sentiment, this surge faces a critical test with upcoming U.S. economic data that will determine whether the rally has legs or is merely a fleeting sentiment spike.

In a bold move that challenges the current regulatory landscape, asset manager Bitwise has submitted filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for 11 new single-asset cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Targeting major altcoins like Aave (AAVE), Uniswap (UNI), and Sui (SUI), this initiative signals a strategic push beyond the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) dominance that has defined the approved ETF market. The filings, which propose listing on NYSE Arca, reflect a growing conviction among institutional players that investor demand is rapidly diversifying across the crypto ecosystem.

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the delisting of several margin trading pairs involving major altcoins and the stablecoin First Digital USD (FDUSD), effective January 6. The move, which includes pairs for Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK), has already triggered a 3.5% price drop for ADA, though other affected tokens showed limited immediate volatility. The exchange provided no official reason for the decision, which exclusively targets FDUSD-linked margin pairs and follows a pattern of periodic adjustments that have historically impacted token valuations.

Bitcoin’s failure to sustain momentum above the $90,000 threshold has triggered a broad market retreat, with the leading cryptocurrency now struggling below $87,000. This decline has erased over $100 billion from the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, dragging major altcoins like Ethereum and XRP into the red. Amid the widespread downturn, Pi Network’s native token stands out as a rare exception, showing resilience by defending a key support level.

Digital asset treasuries (DATs) have recorded their strongest two-week inflow streak in seven weeks, attracting over $2.6 billion from institutional investors. This surge is primarily driven by the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut and new FASB accounting standards that allow crypto gains to be booked as net income. The inflows reveal a clear ‘flight to quality’ toward Bitcoin and Ethereum, while niche assets like Bittensor see targeted interest tied to specific events.
