$WOJAK is a meme cryptocurrency that is mainly popular because of internet hype and community interest. It runs on the Solana blockchain, which allows fast and low-cost transactions. Recently, WOJAK has seen ups and downs in its price, mostly following trends in other meme coins. When meme coins become popular, WOJAK usually gets more attention and trading activity. The coin is listed on several exchanges, making it easy for people to buy and sell. However, WOJAK does not have strong real-world use cases and depends mostly on social media interest. Because of this, its price can rise quickly but also fall just as fast. WOJAK is considered a high-risk coin and is mainly used for short-term trading rather than long-term investment.
Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero climbed to an all-time high above $687 on Tuesday, driven by investor appetite for confidential transactions amid tightening digital asset regulations. The rally marks a 14% gain in 24 hours.
The token posted 45% in weekly gains, pushing its market capitalization to the 11th-largest position among cryptocurrencies. Privacy coin sector capitalization increased 3.5% while trading volumes jumped 32%, according to market data. Privacy tokens outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market throughout the three months following October's $19 billion market crash. Regulatory developments appear to be the primary catalyst behind shifting investor preferences.
Narek Gevorgyan from CoinStats attributes the demand surge to escalating surveillance of digital economies and government oversight of crypto transactions. Investors seeking financial confidentiality are turning to privacy coins as Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering frameworks expand globally #Monero
Bitcoin Price Rockets 5.5% Past $96,000, Strategy ($MSTR) Jumps 8%
The Bitcoin price roared past the $96,000 level this afternoon, bringing along a fresh wave of bullish momentum after weeks of choppy, range-bound trading.
Micah Zimmerman By Micah Zimmerman January 13, 2026
The Bitcoin price surged through the $96,000 level this afternoon, pushing decisively above a key resistance zone and signaling a renewed wave of bullish momentum after weeks of choppy, range-bound trading.
At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is trading around $96,000 up roughly 4.4% over the past 24 hours, according to market data.
The breakout marks a clear move beyond the upper boundary of January’s consolidation range. Bitcoin price is now hovering near its weekly highs, sitting approximately 5% above its seven-day low near $91,700, as buyers regain control of short-term market structure.
All this is happening as the US Senate Agriculture Committee has delayed its key markup of the Digital Asset Market Structure CLARITY Act until late January. The Senate’s Banking Committee markup is still scheduled for January 15. #bitcoinuproars

Die Sparte Kinexys von JPMorgan wird ihren USD-Depot-Token auf dem Canton-Netzwerk bereitstellen, was die zweite öffentliche Blockchain-Integration nach der Einführung auf Base im November 2025 markiert.
Digital Asset und Kinexys von JPMorgan kündigten Pläne an, den JPM Coin native auf das Canton-Netzwerk zu bringen. Der bankausgestellte Depot-Token stellt Ansprüche auf Dollar-Depots von JPMorgan dar und richtet sich an institutionelle Kunden, die eine schnellere Abwicklung auf Blockchain-Infrastruktur suchen.
Yuval Rooz, Mitbegründer und CEO von Digital Asset, erklärte, dass die Zusammenarbeit reguläres digitales Bargeld ermöglicht, das mit Marktgeschwindigkeit bewegt wird. Das Canton-Netzwerk fungiert als öffentliche, permissionless Layer-1-Blockchain für institutionelle Finanzen und verbindet Datenschutzfunktionen mit Compliance und Skalierbarkeit unter der Governance der Canton Foundation.
Naveen Mallela, globale Co-Chef von Kinexys von JPMorgan, sagte, dass die Partnerschaft den Fortschritt der Branche bei Transaktionen auf öffentlichen Blockchains vorantreibt. Der JPM Coin bietet Sicherheit und Abwicklung durch Banken sowie nahezu Echtzeit-Transaktionsgeschwindigkeit auf der Blockchain 24/7 und Innovation, so Mallela.
Das Canton-Netzwerk zielt darauf ab, synchronisierte Abwicklung über mehrere Vermögensklassen auf gemeinsamer, interoperabler Infrastruktur bereitzustellen. Der native Token des Netzwerks, der Canton Coin, unterstützt dezentrale Governance und die Entwicklung von Anwendungen. Kürzlich durchgeführte Pilotprojekte mit tokenisierten US-Staatsanleihen auf dem Netzwerk haben spekulative Interessen an der Rolle des Canton Coins als institutionelles DeFi-Abwicklungstoken geweckt. #JPMCoin
Bank of America will enable advisers across Merrill, the Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge to proactively recommend spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. The chief investment office approved four U.S.-listed products for coverage, expanding beyond previous client-led access.
The approved funds include Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. These four ETFs rank among the largest and most liquid spot Bitcoin products on the market, making them easier for the bank to underwrite from operational and regulatory risk perspectives.
Samar Sen, APAC head at institutional trading platform Talos, said these names lead digital asset ETFs due to their experience, assets under management, and track record. The firms invested in complex infrastructure allowing them to risk manage and execute in a highly efficient way.
Until now, access to spot Bitcoin ETFs was limited to eligible wealth clients, with advisers constrained to serving client-initiated requests. The new framework means advisers can recommend spot Bitcoin ETFs proactively, backed by CIO research and guidance that frames crypto as roughly a 1% to 4% allocation for suitable clients.
CIO research, formal guidance in the form of an allocation guidance paper, and adviser training are being rolled out around these products. Bank of America's network of over 15,000 wealth advisers can fold Bitcoin exposure into standard portfolio conversations rather than treat it as an exception request.
All products covered by Bank of America's CIO are Bitcoin only. The bank has not publicly committed to adding Ethereum or other digital asset ETPs to the approved list, leaving a key question for the next phase of institutional adoption.
Sen said any expansion beyond Bitcoin will likely depend on available liquidity, market structure maturity, and the ability to support institutional-grade execution and risk controls at scale. Large asset managers are exploring innovations in this area, including broader multi-asset ETF structures such as baskets of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
Each client's allocation remains subject to their risk profile and regulatory requirements in their jurisdiction. The shift from client-led access to adviser-led recommendations marks a significant change in how traditional wealth management approaches cryptocurrency exposure.
Bank of America had not responded to a request for comment on its plans for Ethereum products at the time of publication. The approval signals growing comfort with Bitcoin as a portfolio component within major financial institutions.
Vitalik Buterin announced that two major Ethereum upgrades are moving from research to live code. PeerDAS is already on mainnet, and zkEVMs hit production-quality performance.
Buterin claims this combination will let Ethereum achieve something blockchains have historically struggled with, getting decentralization, consensus, and high bandwidth all at once.
What does this actually mean for Ethereum's price?
