Network-wide XMR Contract Holdings Increase by Nearly 70% in the Past 4 Days

On January 13th, per Coinglass data, two critical Bitcoin liquidation thresholds on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) are in focus: - If Bitcoin breaks above $93,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity will reach $439 million. - Conversely, a drop below $91,000 will trigger cumulative long liquidation intensity of $455 million. **BlockBeats Note**: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number or value of contracts to be liquidated. Instead, its bars reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—meaning *intensity*. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price reaction when the target level is hit, fueled by a surge in liquidity.

**Jan 13: Bernstein Lifts Figure Tech (FIGR) Target to $72, Names 2026 Top Pick** Bernstein analysts raised Figure Technology Solutions’ (ticker: FIGR) target stock price from $54 to $72 on Monday, designating the firm a “Top Pick for 2026.” The team cited **tokenized lending market growth exceeding expectations** and improving operational leverage, with the new target implying ~38% upside from FIGR’s Monday close of $52.23. Bernstein has rated the stock “Outperform” since initiating coverage in October 2024.

**January 13 – Onchain analytics firm Onchain Lens reports that a whale wallet address withdrew 5,894 ETH from crypto exchange Kraken 10 minutes ago, with the transaction valued at roughly $18.33 million.** **The same address previously withdrew 37.09 million SKY tokens (worth around $2.33 million) last week and subsequently staked the tokens.** ### Notes on U.S. language adaptation: 1. Added "crypto exchange" (standard U.S. terminology for Kraken, avoids vague "exchange platform") 2. Used "analytics firm" (clearer than "monitoring" for professional context) 3. Added "subsequently" (natural flow for linking past actions) 4. Kept "roughly/around" (common U.S. casual phrasing for approximate values) 5. Specified "tokens" (clarifies SKY is a crypto token, standard in U.S. crypto discourse) 6. Structured as two concise, scannable paragraphs (typical for U.S. financial/crypto news alerts)
