The Bitcoin price has dropped 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $93,324, as crypto investment products continue to attract strong interest from investors with record inflows.

Last week, crypto funds saw inflows of $2.17 billion, the highest in 2026 so far and the largest weekly gain since October, according to European asset manager CoinShares. Most of the money entered the market earlier in the week, but Friday recorded $378 million in outflows due to geopolitical tensions in Greenland and fresh concerns over tariffs.

James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, also noted that sentiment was affected by expectations that Kevin Hassett, a leading contender for US Fed Chair, would likely remain in his current position. Bitcoin dominated last week’s fund inflows, pulling in $1.55 billion, which represented over 70% of the total.

Ether followed with $496 million, while XRP and Solana attracted $70 million and $46 million, respectively. Smaller altcoins such as Sui and Hedera recorded minor inflows of $5.7 million and $2.6 million. Despite proposals under the US Senate’s CLARITY Act that could limit stablecoin yields, Ether and Solana funds held up well.

Among fund types, multi-asset and short Bitcoin products were the only categories to see outflows, totaling $32 million and $8.6 million. On the issuer side, BlackRock’s iShares ETFs led the market with $1.3 billion in inflows, followed by Grayscale Investments at $257 million and Fidelity Investments at $229 million.

Geographically, the US accounted for the majority of inflows at $2 billion, while Sweden and Brazil saw small outflows of $4.3 million and $1 million, respectively. With these gains, total assets under management in crypto funds surpassed $193 billion for the first time since early November, showing renewed investor confidence.

The Bitcoin price 4-hour  chart shows a series of bullish developments, though recent price action indicates some short-term consolidation. Price recently rebounded from a major support zone around $87,500–$88,500, which had previously acted as a strong accumulation area. This level has successfully absorbed selling pressure multiple times in the past, providing a solid foundation for higher moves.

Following this support, Bitcoin formed a rounded bottom pattern between January 6 and January 12, signaling a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. The rounded bottom reflects a gradual loss of selling momentum, allowing buyers to regain control.

A bullish breakout occurred after the rounded bottom, pushing the price above prior resistance levels around $91,000. This breakout was accompanied by strong upward momentum, with the price briefly testing the $96,000 region. The breakout confirms that buyers were willing to step in decisively after the consolidation, signaling potential continuation of the short-term uptrend.

Currently, the price has pulled back slightly after hitting the $96,000 resistance area. The minor retracement appears healthy, as it allows buyers to enter at lower levels without threatening the overall bullish structure. The relative strength index (RSI), currently around 39.8, shows that Bitcoin is not yet oversold, indicating room for further upside once buyers re-enter. The 46-level on the RSI also indicates previous resistance in momentum, now acting as a potential pivot point.

The chart shows a well-defined support and resistance structure, with price respecting the $88,000–$91,000 range before attempting higher levels. The rounded bottom and bullish breakout highlight a transition from accumulation to renewed upward momentum. Traders may watch for a retest of $91,000–$92,000 as a key support level, while the $96,000 area remains a near-term resistance barrier.

Bitcoin has long served a simple purpose: storing and transferring value. The blockchain’s inherent limitations in scalability and programmability prevented use cases like high-frequency payments and smart contracts.

Launched in 2018, the layer-2 solution Lightning Network introduced noticeable improvements in scalability. It takes some of the burden offchain by creating side channels between the sender and receiver.

The model settles transactions faster, with lower fees. Rendering Bitcoin feasible for daily use, the solution spurred the development of many payment apps on the blockchain.

Programmability also arrived in Bitcoin through secondary protocols, such as RGB, an open-source solution designed to expand Bitcoin’s capabilities. The protocol enables the creation of smart contracts and other digital assets on Bitcoin through private, offchain transactions.

RGB powers decentralized applications (DApps) and tokenization, and allows digital assets other than Bitcoin (BTC) to exist on top of the original blockchain.

Bitcoin-native USDT transactions

CTDG Dev Hub, a collaborative platform for blockchain developers working on protocol ideas, has added Utexo as a new participant. The project examines how stablecoin transfers could be represented natively on Bitcoin by combining the Lightning Network’s payment channels with RGB’s client-side asset model. By focusing on interoperability between Bitcoin’s scaling and asset layers, Utexo aligns with DevHub’s goal of supporting experimental infrastructure research and practical developer-driven use cases.

Before the introduction of native solutions, the prevailing practice for using USDT on Bitcoin was utilizing methods like wrapping and bridging, which add intermediaries to the process and increase security risks.

Utexo moves USDT on Bitcoin-native rails instead by combining Lightning’s payment flow with RGB’s asset transfer model. Through RGB, USDT is issued and transferred under a client-side validation model, which keeps most of the transaction details off Bitcoin’s base layer.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Network enables fast and low-cost execution. Bitcoin’s layer-1 only serves as the security anchor that ultimately settles transactions and prevents double-spending.

That combination is meant to avoid the extra trust assumptions that come with wrapping and bridging while still keeping the experience fast. In other words, speed comes from Lightning, asset logic comes from RGB and the security stays tied to Bitcoin.

In Utexo’s design, separating execution from base-layer congestion can make cost behavior less sensitive to Bitcoin’s mempool conditions, since most activity occurs off-chain and Bitcoin is used only for final settlement. This structural decoupling is one reason some implementations aim for more stable cost behavior as throughput grows.

Utilizing the Lightning Network or RGB normally requires a good amount of manual labor. Users have to set up and run a Lightning node, open and manage channels, ensure liquidity, handle routing failures and monitor payment status.

On the RGB side, they also need to manage issuance and transfers, exchange the data needed for client-side validation and keep track of state so balances remain accurate.

The project brings these steps into a single integration flow available via an SDK and REST API. It exposes programmatic access to Lightning execution, routing and failure handling, as well as RGB asset issuance, transfers and state transitions, enabling interaction with both layers through one interface.

Bitcoin developers gain a hub

Cointelegraph has been taking an active role in blockchain governance and development through its initiative, Cointelegraph Decentralization Guardians.

As part of the CTDG ecosystem, CTDG Dev Hub serves as a developer-focused hub alongside CTDG’s validator operations and educational initiatives. The hub offers an open, global public space for developers and other members of the blockchain community to exchange ideas, develop solutions, and submit proposals.

Through its participation in CTDG Dev Hub, Utexo becomes part of a shared development environment where its approach can be reviewed and discussed by other contributors. The Dev Hub serves as a coordination point for developers and community members exploring infrastructure and tooling for Bitcoin-based applications.

Indian crypto investors have shed the speculative itch and are buying the dip in bitcoin BTC$76,073.52 price like seasoned pros, Mumbai-based CoinDCX exchange told CoinDesk.

“Indian investors are maturing. They’re no longer driven purely by sentiment or headlines; instead, they’re focused on fundamentals and the long-term potential of the asset class,” CoinDCX’s CEO Sumit Gupta said in an email.

“We’re seeing it in their behavior: regular bitcoin systematic investment plans (SIPs), deliberate market orders, and thoughtfully placed limit orders,” he added, naming ether ETH$2,267.87, solana SOL$92.50 and XRP XRP$1.6019 as other favorites.

The latest trend contrasts with the frenzied trading in 2021 when newbies chasing 100x pumps dabbled with DOGE$0.1036 clones and other smaller tokens.

“It’s clear that participation is becoming more strategic and measured, rather than reactive. Increasingly, investors are looking at Bitcoin for portfolio diversification and long-term wealth creation,” Gupta said.

Bitcoin’s price has dropped to $75,000 after having hit a high of over $126,000 in October. The broader market has followed suit, with altcoins registering bigger losses. Coincidentally, the Indian national rupee (INR) has depreciated against the U.S. dollar in recent weeks, hitting a record low of 92 per USD.

Yet trading volumes have picked up on the exchange, rising from about $269 million in December to roughly $309 million in January, he said, adding that the activity has been more balanced. “We see profit-taking from short-term traders who bought near recent lows, but at the same time, steady accumulation from long-term investors who view these levels as an opportunity,” he noted.

India, the world’s fastest-growing major economy, maintains a cautious, regulatory-focused stance on digital assets, treating them as taxable Virtual Digital Assets (VDA) rather than legal tender. The annual budget announced over the weekend maintained a 30% tax on crypto gains, with no loss set-offs, and a 1% transaction tax deducted at source.

Regulations issued by the Financial Intelligence Unit also mandate strict KYC requirements, including regular and accurate reporting of user transactions by exchanges. These measures are aimed at bolstering compliance and countering money laundering and terrorist financing.

“The Union Budget 2026 proposes strengthening compliance for crypto platforms over lapses in transaction disclosures, aiming to curb tax evasion in virtual digital assets,” Gupta said.

We remain fully committed to working with policymakers to support the development of a safe, innovative, and globally competitive VDA ecosystem, as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is developing a new blockchain-based platform that will allow trading of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with 24/7 access and near-instant settlement.

The initiative is part of a broader effort by NYSE and its parent company, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), to modernize market infrastructure and meet growing global demand for US equities. According to the announcement, the new platform will combine ICE’s existing Pillar trading engine with blockchain-powered post-trade systems.

It will support multiple blockchains for custody and settlement, allowing trades to be funded and settled in real time using stablecoins instead of the current one-day (T+1) settlement cycle used in US equity markets. The platform is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to support a new NYSE trading venue specifically designed for tokenized securities.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: NYSE plans to launch 24/7 trading for tokenized stocks & ETFs on blockchain.

The platform will support instant settlement, fractional ownership, and stablecoin-based funding — bringing TradFi and crypto closer than ever.

Tokenized stocks are digital representations of traditional company shares issued on a blockchain. They give investors exposure to stock prices while offering key benefits such as 24/7 trading, faster settlement, and fractional ownership. These features are seen as especially attractive to global investors who cannot easily trade during standard US market hours.

NYSE and ICE Push Toward 24/7, Fully On-Chain Markets

The move aligns with NYSE’s broader push to extend trading hours. In October 2024, the exchange announced plans to seek approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to extend weekday trading to 22 hours. Nasdaq has also revealed plans to introduce 24-hour weekday trading, highlighting a wider industry shift toward always-on markets.

ICE described the tokenized securities platform as a core part of its digital strategy. This includes building on-chain clearing infrastructure, supporting 24/7 trading, and potentially integrating tokenized collateral. ICE is also working with major banks such as BNY and Citibank to support tokenized deposits, helping market participants manage liquidity outside traditional banking hours.

NYSE Group President Lynn Martin said the exchange aims to lead the industry toward fully on-chain solutions while maintaining strong regulatory standards. ICE executives described the initiative as a pivotal step toward creating onchain infrastructure for trading, settlement, custody, and capital formation in the next era of global finance.

As the Nvidia (NVDA) share price chart shows, the stock fell below $177 during yesterday’s session, marking its lowest level since the start of 2026.

Negative market sentiment is largely driven by uncertainty surrounding supplies to China. According to the Financial Times, Nvidia’s sales of H200 chips to China are still awaiting final approval from US authorities.

Yesterday’s statement from AMD, noting that the scale of its own shipments to China remains uncertain, reinforced these concerns and added further pressure to Nvidia shares. Previously, NVDA had been supported by expectations that deliveries of H200 chips to Chinese partners would begin in early 2026.

In addition, some media reports suggest that the stock is facing extra pressure from news of delayed investment in OpenAI, which is reportedly exploring alternative suppliers.

Technical Analysis of the Nvidia (NVDA) Chart

On 23 December, when analysing NVDA price action, we:

→ reaffirmed the long-term ascending channel, which remains intact;
→ suggested that bulls might attempt to break out of the corrective pattern (shown in red) in order to reach the channel median.

As expected (indicated by the black arrow), the price reached this target. However, January’s price behaviour offers little evidence that the uptrend has resumed with renewed strength.

Moreover, the red arrows highlight several bearish signals:

→ the median acted as clear resistance;
→ the 30 January peak (the highest level since the start of the year) formed with a long upper shadow, resulting in a false break of the previous high — a classic “bull trap”.

While bearish momentum appears to be in control, it is worth noting that:

→ the break below the 20 January low could also prove to be false;
→ the lower boundary of the channel, which has acted as key support for many months, is nearby.

Taking all of this into account, it is reasonable to assume that NVDA may find a period of consolidation in the lower quarter of the channel. A potential catalyst for the next major move could be the company’s earnings release scheduled for 25 February.

ProShares unveiled the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to target the performance of the CoinDesk 20 Index, expanding options for investors seeking broad exposure to crypto markets.

The CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF (KRYP) is the first ETF tied to the benchmark of 20 of the largest and most liquid digital assets, ProShares said in a Wednesday email.

The index is market-capitalization weighted, subject to caps, and rebalanced quarterly, aiming to provide diversified exposure while limiting concentration in any single cryptocurrency.

“As the cryptocurrency market has matured, investors have increasingly looked beyond single-asset exposure,” CEO Michael Sapir said in a statement, describing KRYP as a way to access the broader asset class through one ticker.

The CoinDesk 20 selects assets from the top 250 by market cap, applying liquidity and exchange-listing requirements, while excluding stablecoins, memecoins, privacy tokens and various wrapped or pegged assets.

ProShares already offers one of the largest suites of crypto-linked funds in the U.S., with 13 ETFs and additional mutual fund products.

Market behavior during drawdowns often forces a hard reset. Tools that help traders react faster lose relevance when volatility compresses opportunity, and liquidity dries up. This is why attention is moving away from analytics-heavy platforms toward structures that preserve value and generate utility regardless of market direction.

For DeepSnitch AI holders, the current environment has created a clear inflection point. Capital is rotating out of signal-based products and into fixed-entry opportunities with real usage and cash-flow logic.

That rotation explains why Digitap ($TAP) is seen as the best crypto to buy now, positioned as a defensive crypto presale built for recessionary conditions. As risk appetite contracts, the conversation around altcoins to buy favors platforms that move money, not just data.

Why DeepSnitch AI Holders Should Move to Digitap

DeepSnitch AI was built to solve information asymmetry. Its AI-driven agents monitor wallets, contracts, liquidity shifts, and sentiment across multiple chains, delivering alerts designed to improve trading outcomes. In active markets, that value proposition resonates. In slow, risk-off conditions, actionable signals become scarce, and analytics lose leverage as capital prioritizes preservation over precision.

The platform’s reliance on constant market activity creates a dependency on volatility. When fewer trades occur and narratives stall, demand for premium alerts softens. Token utility becomes concentrated around access rather than economic throughput, leaving holders exposed to sentiment cycles rather than structural demand.

Digitap operates from a different foundation. Instead of optimizing decision-making within the market, it serves as infrastructure for price discovery outside the market. Payments, settlements, conversions, and storage continue regardless of volatility. That distinction matters when trading edges compress and capital seeks stability over timing.

For holders exiting signal-based exposure, Digitap represents a pivot from observation to utility. It facilitates day-to-day financial operations, creating demand that does not rely on speculation. This independence is why capital migration is accelerating.

How Digitap Works and What It Actually Is

Digitap is the world’s first omni-bank, designed to unify crypto and traditional finance within a single platform. It allows users to quickly exchange crypto for fiat and fiat for crypto, bridging on-chain assets with real-world banking rails through a live, downloadable app.

At the core of the ecosystem sits the $TAP token, built around fixed supply and utility-driven demand. Total supply is capped at 2 billion tokens, with no inflation, no buy or sell tax, and no hidden minting mechanisms. Circulating supply is engineered to move in one direction only: downward, as buyback and burn activity removes tokens from the market.

$TAP is woven directly into platform functionality. The token powers staking programs, unlocks fee discounts, enables governance participation, and grants access to premium account tiers. $TAP functions as the economic engine of the ecosystem.

Demand for $TAP is tied to usage of the platform itself, not to market sentiment or trading frequency. As the app scales, token utility scales alongside it.

Crypto Presale Structure, Fees, and Real Usage

Digitap’s relevance increases in recessionary conditions, where fees and friction compound financial stress. Traditional remittance channels often charge more than 6% per transfer. Digitap compresses cross-border costs to under 1%, keeping more value in circulation and reducing erosion during periods of economic pressure.

The platform also serves freelancers and remote earners who receive income in crypto. Funds can be converted to cash and routed toward rent, utilities, or daily expenses without navigating multiple applications or intermediaries. This turns crypto into spendable income rather than dormant capital.

Privacy and flexibility are embedded through a tiered KYC structure. No-KYC wallet options coexist with higher-limit accounts, allowing different levels of access without forcing a single compliance model. Offshore banking partnerships further reduce geographic concentration risk.

The current crypto presale price stands at $0.0467, with the next stage set at $0.0478 and a defined listing price of $0.14. This staged structure introduces predictability at a time when most assets lack clear valuation anchors. Nearly $5 million has been raised, with more than 213 million tokens sold.

Why $TAP Is the Best Altcoin to Buy Now

The market is no longer rewarding speed or signal density. It is rewarding resilience. Platforms that generate economic value outside price speculation are gaining ground as liquidity remains constrained and volatility fails to translate into opportunity.

Digitap fits this environment precisely. It replaces high-frequency decision-making with structural utility, positioning itself as a financial layer that functions regardless of market direction. That is why it continues to surface in discussions around the best crypto to buy now.

Compared to analytics-driven tokens, $TAP benefits from real usage cycles tied to payments, remittances, and income conversion. This creates persistent demand and separates it from assets dependent on trader sentiment.

As capital rotates out of reactive tools and into foundational infrastructure, Digitap’s presale structure amplifies its appeal. With fixed pricing, growing adoption, and clear economic logic, $TAP defines what a crypto to buy now looks like in defensive conditions.

Investors with enterprise ambitions need more than marketing slides and checklists. They need clarity about which Web3 crypto wallet providers can deliver secure, compliant, and future-proof infrastructure that supports scalable revenue models. In 2026, the winning wallet partners combine hardened cryptography, account abstraction for superior UX, and production-grade AI that meaningfully reduces operational risk and customer friction. This article is written for well-informed investors evaluating strategic bets in web3 infrastructure. It focuses on technical differentiators, observable production capabilities, and the commercial trade-offs that matter when moving from proof of concept to live financial rails. Read on for a concise technical framework, the top vendor shortlist, a head-to-head feature comparison, and a rigorous 10-question crypto wallet development company evaluation.

Why 2026 Is a Defining Year for AI-Smart Crypto Wallets?

The market dynamics making 2026 pivotal are technical, regulatory, and behavioral. On the technical side, account abstraction and smart account primitives have matured into usable production tooling, enabling programmable wallets that solve long-standing UX and recovery problems. This shift changes how cryptocurrency wallet solutions are built and consumed because it decouples signature management from the user experience and enables sponsored gas, batched operations, and policy-driven approvals. At the same time, multi-party computation and threshold signature schemes are moving from academic proofs into operational custody solutions, offering enterprises key-management alternatives that reduce single-point risk and regulatory exposure.

AI is no longer an experimental add-on. Leading teams embed machine learning for real-time anomaly detection, risk scoring, and personalized usage assistance, which materially lowers fraud losses and onboarding friction. Finally, enterprise demand is rising as financial institutions and high-net-worth services adopt tokenized assets and require wallets that can integrate with existing KYC, treasury, and audit systems. The intersection of account abstraction, MPC-class key management, and production AI is why investors should re-evaluate wallet vendors in 2026 with technical scrutiny.

How Does Antier Stand Out From Other Vendors?

In 2026, market leaders will be defined by products users actually adopt, not those that are merely deployed. We build with that outcome in mind.

You must have heard Investors asking often, what does a company they hire bring them that others do not? Well, Antier has all the answers to it. Below is the curated list of capabilities that Antier holds rather than marketing claims.

It is always suggested that you partner with an experienced team of blockchain experts who are adept at crafting impactful and successful customized cryptocurrency wallet solutions. 

How to Evaluate a Wallet Development Company in 10 Questions?

For investors doing diligence, these 10 technical and operational questions reveal whether a crypto wallet service provider is enterprise-grade or merely marketing-first.

1. What is your key management model in production, and can you provide architecture diagrams and a failure mode analysis?
2. Do you offer MPC or TSS-based signing? If so, provide a public audit or third-party review.
3. How do you support account abstraction and ERC-4337 user operations? Provide sample UserOperation flows and bundler integration details.
4. How is AI used in the stack, and what are measurable production outcomes for fraud reduction or onboarding improvements?
5. Which chains and L2s are supported natively, and what is the process to integrate new chains?
6. Provide SOC2 type II, ISO, or third-party audit evidence and recent penetration test results.
7. What are your SLAs for transaction throughput, incident response, and key compromise scenarios?
8. How is regulatory compliance built in, specifically AML tooling, on-chain metadata retention, and explainability for AI decisions?
9. What is the upgrade and migration path for wallet contracts and key-management components?
10. Provide client references where you implemented a production wallet with live volumes, and share anonymized KPIs.

Use these answers to rank vendors against the architecture and risk appetite of the target business.

Final Verdict: Choosing Antier for Serious Business Impact

For institutional investors and enterprise product owners, architecture and operational proof trump feature lists. Prioritize crypto wallet development companies that can demonstrate production MPC or hardened custody, an ERC-4337 smart account strategy, and measurable AI outcomes for fraud and UX. 

Antier, as positioned in public product material, claims mature AI wallet modules, multi-chain coverage, and enterprise controls; these are the traits investors should seek and verify.

Our experience building and advising regulated web3 projects shows the following pattern. Projects succeed when businesses choose partners who deliver three things: a security-first signing model, programmable accounts for frictionless UX, and an AI stack that is auditable and measurable. Legal and compliance expertise is critical during architecture and vendor selection because custody, AML, and data residency requirements directly influence design choices. We help institutional teams navigate these trade-offs by validating cryptographic proofs, confirming audit evidence, and shaping deployment plans that map to local regulatory regimes. If you are evaluating strategic investments into blockchain wallet development infrastructure, focus your diligence on architecture diagrams, third-party audits, and production AI performance. Those artifacts distinguish long-term infrastructure from short-term launches.
