With short positions reportedly about 10 times larger than longs and price consolidating between $1.72 and $1.76 after losing the $1.89 support, the setup points to a possible February squeeze if funding stabilizes and market sentiment improves.

Key players in the Ripple-backed XRPL ecosystem are preparing an XLS-66 lending upgrade on testnet, aiming to unlock institutional DeFi strategies via single-asset vaults and fixed-rate loans. Evernorth plans to center its XRP treasury strategy on the upcoming lending protocol, while RLUSD’s supply has climbed above $1 billion even as XRPL’s DeFi TVL has fallen to about $60 million. Large XRP holders show mixed signals, with +1 million XRP wallets returning to accumulation as the token trades around $1.7 amid easing but still net selling whale flows.

On December 27, 2025, Flow experienced a security breach. On January 31, the Flow Foundation said it permanently destroyed 87.4 billion counterfeit FLOW tokens, concluding technical remediation, according to a GlobeNewswire statement.

PEPE has been sliding within a descending channel after rejection at $0.00000688 and briefly touched $0.0000044 before recovering to about $0.000004541.

In the past 24 hours, on-chain data show a net outflow of about 101 billion Shiba Inu tokens from exchanges, signaling a notable shift in market behavior. This movement suggests traders are moving SHIB into private storage, easing immediate selling pressure as the price consolidates within a tightening triangle pattern. If the current pace of exchange outflows persists, the reduced available liquidity could gradually weaken bearish dominance and support a broader recovery attempt.
