🆂 ABC of Cryptos – Letter S: Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, launched in 2009.

To this day, no one knows if Satoshi is a person or a group — and their identity remains one of the greatest mysteries of the crypto world.

💡 What we know is that their idea was revolutionary:

Create decentralized digital money

Allow transactions without banks or intermediaries

Give more financial control to people

🌍 This innovation changed forever the way we think about money, property, and trust.

🚨 Gold and silver are stealing the hype from cryptos on social media

According to Santiment, discussions about gold $PAXG and silver have outpaced crypto for most of January. Retail investors have shifted their attention to precious metals after new all-time highs.

📊 Social data shows:

• Gold dominated conversations from January 8–18

• Crypto regained strength from January 19–22 (buy the dip)

• Silver returned to the top after hitting ATH

• Silver was also the most discussed topic at the beginning of the month

Analysts highlight that retail tends to jump between narratives (memecoins, AI, blue chips…), but is now even shifting sectors — going from crypto to metals and stocks.

⚠️ Important alert:

When the hype explodes, it can be a sign of a peak.

Recent example:

🥈 Silver rose above $117.70

➡️ fell to $102.70 in just 2 hours, right at the peak of FOMO.

📈 Google Trends (last 7 days):

• Crypto and Bitcoin still lead searches

• “best crypto”, “crypto price” and “Bitcoin price” among the most searched terms

• Interest in silver follows closely behind

💡 Conclusion: retail money is rotating quickly between narratives. Stay alert — hype peaks usually precede high volatility or corrections.

Do you think the flow will return strongly to crypto or will metals continue to dominate? 👇

🧱 What is a Layer-1 Blockchain? (and why does it matter in crypto?)

Layer-1 is the foundation of the blockchain.

It is the main network that:

✅ Records transactions

✅ Validates blocks

✅ Ensures security

✅ Maintains the immutable ledger

Basically: it is the “heart” of the crypto ecosystem. Everything is built on top of it.

Without Layer-1 → there are no tokens, DeFi, NFTs, or DApps.

⚙️ How does it work?

Every Layer-1 uses a consensus mechanism to validate transactions, such as:

🔹 PoW (Proof of Work) – Bitcoin

🔹 PoS (Proof of Stake) – Ethereum, Solana

🔹 DPoS – some networks focused on performance

This ensures security + decentralization.

🌍 Examples of Layer-1

🟠 Bitcoin (BTC) → P2P payments

🔵 Ethereum (ETH) → smart contracts + DeFi

🟣 Solana (SOL), BNB Chain, Avalanche → high speed and low fees

⚔️ Layer-1 vs Layer-2: what's the difference?

🧱 Layer-1 → the main blockchain (security + consensus)

⚡ Layer-2 → scaling solutions built on top (faster and cheaper)

Examples of L2: Arbitrum, Optimism, Lightning Network.

👉 L2 inherits the security of L1, but improves cost and speed.

📈 In summary:

Layer-1 = foundation

Layer-2 = performance turbo

Without L1, nothing exists. Without L2, scaling becomes expensive.

👀 Which Layer-1 do you use the most today: BTC, ETH, SOL, or BNB?

🚀 Ondo Global Markets now on Solana (SOL)! Tokenization of stocks arrives with strength to the ecosystem

Ondo Finance announced the expansion of Ondo Global Markets to the Solana blockchain, bringing over 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs from the USA on-chain for the first time on the network.

👉 But what does this mean?

Tokenization transforms real-world assets (stocks, ETFs, real estate, commodities) into tokens on the blockchain, allowing:

✅ Trading 24/7

✅ More accessible fractions

✅ Fewer barriers to entry

✅ Fast and cheap execution

With Solana, users can now trade:

📈 Growth stocks

🏦 Blue chips

🥇 Gold, silver, and commodity ETFs

📊 Broad market and sector ETFs

⚡ Leveraged long/short ETFs

🤖 Stocks linked to AI and electric vehicles

🔥 Important differential:

Ondo does not rely solely on on-chain liquidity pools. It directly connects to the liquidity of exchanges like NASDAQ and NYSE, allowing large trades with almost zero slippage and broker prices.

📊 Ecosystem numbers:

• 3.2M+ daily active users on Solana

• $450M+ in TVL

• $5.1B+ in accumulated volume

According to the team, the proposal is to bring "Wall Street liquidity to DeFi," increasingly bridging the traditional market with on-chain.

The tokenization of RWAs is consolidating as one of the biggest narratives of the cycle — and Solana is now entering this game strongly.

Would you trade tokenized stocks directly on the blockchain? 👀

🆁 ABC of Cryptos – Letter R: Real-World Assets (RWA)

Real-World Assets are real-world assets, such as houses, works of art, gold, or other physical goods.

Today, these assets can be connected to the crypto universe through tokenization, turning into tokens that exist on the blockchain.

🔗 What does this allow?

Transform physical goods into digital assets

Facilitate buying, selling, and transferring

Enable fractional ownership

More transparency and global accessibility

💡 It is the bridge between the traditional market and the blockchain, bringing real assets into the digital environment.

⚠️ Even though they are backed by physical assets, it is essential to understand the rules, risks, and structure of each project.

📉 Drop in stablecoins signals 'risk-off' mode — capital may be migrating to gold $PAXG

The stablecoin market shrank by $2.24 billion in the last 10 days, according to Santiment. This movement may indicate that investors are pulling money out of the crypto ecosystem, which tends to delay a market recovery.

👉 Instead of keeping capital in stablecoins to buy dips, many are:

• taking profits

• going back to fiat

• migrating to safer assets like gold and silver

Result? Precious metals hitting new highs, while BTC, altcoins, and stablecoins decline.

🛡️ Safety > Risk

According to Santiment:

when uncertainty increases, money flows into traditional stores of value, not into volatile markets like crypto.

📊 Recent performance comparison

• BTC fell from ~US$121,500 to below US$103,000 after massive liquidations

• Now trading near US$88,000

• Gold rose +20% and broke US$5,000

• Silver more than doubled in value

Interestingly, Tether bought 27 tons of gold (US$4.4 billion) just in the last quarter.

🔄 What could unlock the next rally?

Historically, the crypto market tends to rise again when:

✅ the supply of stablecoins stops declining

✅ and starts to grow again

This signals new capital coming in + renewed confidence.

Until then:

⚠️ altcoins tend to suffer more

⚠️ lower liquidity limits gains

⚠️ BTC usually holds up better, but also feels pressure

👀 Keep an eye on the capitalization of stablecoins — it could be the first sign of the next strong market movement.

🚀 $PUMP ready to explode? Chart pattern indicates possible breakout of +50%

The Pump.fun (PUMP), token of the Solana launchpad, is starting to attract attention in the market.

After a recent increase of +18%, the token has already accumulated almost +60% in the month. But the most interesting may still be to come…

Analyzing the daily chart, a strong bullish reversal pattern is forming.

📊 What does the chart show?

The PUMP is drawing a classic Inverted Head and Shoulders (IH&S) — one of the most reliable bullish patterns in technical analysis.

Structure:

• Left shoulder → ~$0.00247

• Head → ~$0.00167

• Right shoulder → ~$0.00225

• Resistance (neckline) → $0.003025

In addition:

✅ Recovered the 50-day moving average

✅ Dynamic support holding the price

✅ Consolidation just below the resistance

This price compression often precedes strong volatility movements.

🎯 Next important levels

👉 Confirmed breakout:

If it closes above $0.003025, it may validate the pattern.

📈 Technical target: $0.0046

Potential upside: ~+53%

👉 Rejection scenario:

It may continue to move sideways.

Important supports:

• $0.00236

• 50-day moving average

🧠 Conclusion

The PUMP is showing:

• Bullish structure

• Increasing momentum

• Pressure on resistance

If it breaks the neckline, it may start a new bullish leg.

It's worth keeping an eye on 👀

🚀 Bitcoin and crypto help Nubank reach 112 million customers and become the largest bank in Brazil

Nubank has become the largest private financial institution in Brazil by number of customers, reaching 112 million users — about 61% of the adult population in the country.

And there is an important detail for the market: crypto played a direct role in this growth.

📊 Highlights:

• 112M total customers

• 85% monthly active base

• 6.6M users in Nubank Crypto

• Bank with one of the lowest complaint rates from the BC

Since 2022, when it began offering the purchase and sale of Bitcoin and Ethereum directly in the app, Nu has accelerated the adoption of crypto among the traditional public.

After that, it expanded quickly:

✅ + assets: SOL, UNI, POL, USDC

✅ sending and receiving on-chain

✅ indirect investment in BTC via ETF

✅ loyalty program with its own token (Nucoin)

The result? Millions of new investors entering the crypto market through the banking app.

💬 According to CEO Livia Chanes, the focus is on increasing engagement and integrating financial services into the daily lives of customers — and crypto is already part of this strategy.

👉 Another clear sign that $BTC and cryptocurrencies are becoming mainstream in the Brazilian banking system.

🚨 Grayscale distributes $9.4 million in Ethereum staking rewards

Grayscale has just marked a historic moment in the US crypto market.

The manager distributed $9.4 million in staking rewards to investors of its Ethereum Staking ETF $ETH — the first distribution of its kind in an American crypto ETF.

💡 Why does this matter?

This ETF not only offers exposure to the price of ETH — it also generates passive income via staking, increasing the potential return for investors.

📊 Highlights:

• $9.4M paid in rewards

• Staking conducted between October and December

• First staking distribution in ETF in the US

• More attractiveness for Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs

🏦 Market impact

The initiative may:

✅ Attract more institutional investors

✅ Make ETFs with staking more competitive

✅ Increase demand for Ethereum-based products

✅ Strengthen confidence in crypto financial instruments

🔮 What comes next?

With Grayscale's success, it is likely that other ETFs will adopt staking to generate extra income. This could accelerate innovation and the adoption of crypto ETFs in the traditional market.

Ethereum + ETF + staking = new era of institutional passive income? 👀

CEO of Binance, CZ, says that holding cryptocurrencies for the long term surpasses most trading strategies

The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), reiterated a simple strategy in the crypto market: buy and hold for the long term.

According to him:

👉 “I have seen many trading strategies over the years. Very few beat the simple ‘buy and hold’, which is what I do. This is not financial advice.”

📈 Why does he believe this?

Most traders lose money trying to time the market

$BTC , $BNB , and major assets tend to rise in the long term

Time > excessive trading

While many “trade until they are broke”, those who hold build wealth.

🔥 More predictions from CZ:

Bitcoin may enter a historic supercycle

Governments are adopting more pro-crypto policies

The traditional 4-year cycle may be broken

He agrees with optimistic projections of BTC reaching $300k–$1.5M by 2030

🌍 Additionally

CZ also revealed talks with several countries about tokenization of state assets, helping governments raise funds via blockchain.

💬 And you, are you a holder or an active trader?

🐧 Memecoin PENGUIN skyrocketed +564% after viral post from the White House

A Solana memecoin caught the market's attention today.

A Nietzschean Penguin (PENGUIN) exploded about +564% after the White House posted on social media an image of President Donald Trump walking in the snow alongside a penguin — and the post went viral.

📊 Movement Numbers:

• Market cap before: ~ US$ 387 million

• 24h volume post-post: US$ 244 million

• Current market cap: ~ US$ 136 million

• Price: ~ US$ 0.13

The token was launched by Pump.fun, a popular memecoins platform on Solana.

According to Alon Cohen, co-founder of the platform:

“The success of PENGUIN shows that on-chain trading never died — it was just waiting for the right moment.”

🔥 Memecoins making a comeback?

The pump happens after a tough period for the sector:

• 2025: 11.6 million tokens died

• Several celebrity tokens fell 80%+

• But January/26 brought recovery:

→ Sector market cap rose US$ 38B → US$ 47B (+23%)

Analysts point out that:

👉 Memecoins tend to lead when risk appetite returns

👉 Fear & Greed Index went from “extreme fear” to “neutral”

At the moment, the sector hovers around US$ 39B, with a sideways market.

⚠️ Summary for traders:

Viral events + political narrative + Solana + Pump.fun = extreme volatility.

Quick opportunities, but equally high risk.

DYOR always.

📉 Bitcoin holders register losses after more than 2 years of profit

After more than two consecutive years of profits, Bitcoin investors $BTC have returned to operating in the red.

On-chain data shows that, since the end of December, sales have been occurring below the average purchase price, generating a net loss of about 69,000 BTC — something not seen since 2023.

🔄 What has changed?

Realized profits have been declining since March

The price has lost strength

Lower highs in the current cycle

Margins have turned negative

The pattern is quite similar to the 2021–2022 cycle, when the market went from record profits to a long period of decline.

🐻 Signs of the beginning of a bear market?

The data indicates:

Sharp drop in realized profits (from 4.4M BTC to 2.5M BTC)

More investors selling at a loss

Weak spot demand

Modest inflows into ETFs

Reduced buying appetite in recent weeks

This behavior tends to appear in the early stages of bear markets, when sentiment becomes more cautious and recovery loses strength.

👀 What to watch for now?

➡️ Return of demand

➡️ Increase in spot volume

➡️ Consistent positive flows in ETFs

➡️ Reduction of sales at a loss

Without this, the market may continue to be sideways or pressured.

⚠️ The moment calls for risk management and patience.

🏎️ McLaren accelerates towards Web3 in partnership with Hedera $HBAR

McLaren Racing has just taken a big step into the blockchain universe.

The team announced a multi-year partnership with the Hedera Foundation, integrating the Hedera network (HBAR) as the official partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team and Arrow McLaren IndyCar to transform the fan experience with Web3.

The idea? To bring the excitement of the tracks to the digital realm.

🔥 What’s coming next?

Using the fast, secure, and sustainable blockchain of Hedera, McLaren will launch:

✅ Free digital collectibles during GP weekends

✅ Official and licensed digital assets

✅ Interactive and verifiable experiences

✅ Global engagement via Web3

Fans will be able to own, trade, and interact with official team digital items, all with on-chain guaranteed ownership.

💬 What does the partnership mean?

According to Hedera executives, working with one of the most iconic brands in sports is a great showcase for showing how Web3 can generate real utility, not just speculation.

McLaren emphasizes that innovation off the track is just as important as performance on it.

🚀 Why does this matter for the crypto market?

This collaboration:

• Expands Hedera (HBAR) adoption

• Brings blockchain to millions of sports fans

• Connects global brands to Web3

• Creates new use cases for NFTs/collectibles

It’s another sign that sports + Web3 + fan engagement could be one of the next big narratives in the market.

🏁 Conclusion

McLaren is transforming fans into active participants, blending speed, technology, and digital ownership.

If successful, it could become a reference for other teams and sports leagues.

👀 Keep an eye on: HBAR + fan tokens + sports collectibles

The future of sports engagement may be on-chain.

🚀 KAIA shoots up +26% in 24h and surpasses the crypto market

A $KAIA rose +26.35% in the last 24h, while the crypto market advanced only +1.19%. The movement marks a strong reversal of the downtrend, accompanied by an impressive +350% in trading volume.

What is driving this rise?

🔥 Main catalysts

🇯🇵 Strategic partnership in Japan (Bullish)

OKJ has partnered with Kaia to boost the adoption of LINE's Mini Dapps, integrating the Kaia blockchain into the ecosystem of one of Japan's largest messaging platforms.

👉 Impact:

Access to millions of users

More real utility for the token

Potential increase in demand for KAIA (payments, rewards, and apps)

Mass adoption + real use = strong fundamentals in the long term.

📈 Technical rebound after overselling

Before the rally, the token was in oversold territory (low RSI).

This opened up space for a short squeeze / technical bounce, reinforced by the large buying volume.

👉 Positive signal, but:

Very rapid movements also bring greater volatility in the short term.

🧠 Summary

The rise of KAIA combines:

✅ Fundamentals (partnership and adoption)

✅ Technical (oversold rebound)

✅ Strong volume

It could be an inflection point for the project, but it's worth monitoring if the price can hold above $0.07163 and if the partnership will generate real on-chain activity.

👀 Keep an eye out in the coming days.

🚨 Bitwise launches active ETF that combines Bitcoin + Gold to protect against inflation

Bitwise Asset Management has just launched a new actively managed ETF focused on protection against the depreciation of fiat currencies.

The fund, called Bitwise Proficio Currency Debasement ETF (BPRO), is already being traded on the NYSE and mixes:

🟠 Bitcoin (BTC)

🟡 Gold

⛏️ Mining stocks

Unlike traditional spot Bitcoin ETFs, the BPRO has flexible allocation, allowing managers to adjust exposure between crypto and commodities based on the macro scenario.

📊 Key points:

• Minimum of 25% in gold

• Active management

• Management fee: 0.96%

• Focus on capital preservation, not just upside

The proposal is to attract institutional investors and managers who want exposure to Bitcoin without relying on a 100% crypto product.

💡 Is Bitcoin still a “hedge” against inflation?

The narrative of BTC as protection against depreciation remains strong, thanks to its limited supply.

But there is a growing debate:

📉 Recently, gold has outperformed Bitcoin, raising doubts about the efficiency of BTC as a short-term hedge.

Analyst Karel Mercx pointed out that, even with political pressures on the Federal Reserve — a scenario that normally favors store of value assets — gold reacted better than Bitcoin.

🔎 Conclusion:

The market seems to be shifting from a “Bitcoin vs gold” approach to “Bitcoin + gold”, combining digital scarcity with traditional protection.

Would you include such a hybrid ETF in your portfolio?
