January 23: AXS and SLP—tokens from the Axie Infinity play-to-earn blockchain game—have been climbing steadily for weeks. Over the past 30 days, AXS has jumped more than 247% and hit a market cap of $748 million, while SLP has surged over 42% to $38.48 million in market capitalization.

On January 23, Coinglass data shows that if Bitcoin drops below $88,000, total long liquidation strength across top centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $638 million. Conversely, should Bitcoin climb above $91,000, total short liquidation strength on these mainstream CEXs will reach $1.034 billion. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts subject to liquidation. Instead, the bars represent each liquidation cluster’s relative importance to adjacent clusters—i.e., its "strength." This means the chart illustrates how sharply the underlying asset’s price will react when hitting a specific level. A taller liquidation bar signals a more intense price response driven by a liquidity cascade.

On January 23, former U.S. President Trump announced the U.S. had secured “full and permanent” access to Greenland via a NATO framework agreement, with no stated time limit. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also called on allies to step up Arctic security efforts to counter Russian threats. However, no specific details of the agreement have been released. Denmark reiterated Greenland’s sovereignty is non-negotiable, saying current talks focus solely on Arctic security cooperation. Greenland’s prime minister also cited a lack of clarity on the agreement’s specifics, noting sovereignty is a “non-negotiable red line.” Sources indicate the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland may hold further negotiations to update their 1951 military access agreement and discuss restricting Russian investments in the region. The development has stoked concerns in the EU over transatlantic ties, while Greenlandic locals express uncertainty about their future.
