Goldman Sachs Reiterates Bullish Stance on Gold: Raises Year-End Target to $5400, Sees High Above $7000
On January 22, Goldman Sachs sharply raised its gold price forecast, lifting its year-end 2026 target to $5,400 per ounce from $4,900. The bank attributed the move to sustained buying by private investors and central banks worldwide—with monthly average central bank gold purchases expected to reach ~60 tons this year—driving competition for limited gold supply. Additionally, amid Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts, gold ETF holdings are projected to rise.
With multiple institutions turning bullish together, gold has surged past $4,800 per ounce to a record high. A London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) survey found most analysts expect the metal to top $5,000 this year.
More aggressive forecasts come from ICBC Standard Bank: its head of commodity strategy noted gold could hit $7,150 in an extreme scenario. Institutions broadly agree that geopolitical tensions, declining real interest rates, and the "de-dollarization" trend are strengthening gold’s position as the ultimate global s

Farcaster Acquisition by Neynar Sparks Debate: Founding Team Exits, Supporters Optimistic about Handover, Critics Question "Overvalued Cash-Out"
January 22 — Decentralized social protocol Farcaster has been acquired by its core infrastructure provider Neynar, sparking widespread discussion in the crypto community.
Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero confirmed that in the coming weeks, the protocol’s contracts, codebase, official app, and the Clanker project will all transfer to Neynar for operation and maintenance. He and some members of the Merkle team will step back from day-to-day management to pursue new projects.
Supporters frame the acquisition as an “ecosystem baton pass.” Several developers noted Neynar has long served as Farcaster’s de facto backend, supporting numerous client and developer tools while deeply understanding the ecosystem’s needs. Neynar is viewed as the most fitting successor, poised to bring fresh energy to Farcaster and a clearer development roadmap.
Criticism, however, is sharp. Some observers pointed out Farcaster—backed by Paradigm and a16z—raised over $150 million in funding at a $1 billion v

Space Public Sale Sparks Controversy: $2.5 Million Target Actually Overraised 8x, Team Attempts to Retain Millions
Jan 22nd — A decentralized leveraged prediction market project stirred up controversy in its latest ICO round, after originally targeting $2.5 million in funding but ultimately raising $20 million.
The project team later clarified the $2.5 million was a "soft cap" (not a hard cap)—a disclosure in line with standard Launchpad practices—allowing it to expand fundraising amid strong market demand. The team noted $2.5 million would only cover "initial development for a few months" and was insufficient to sustain multi-year development of leveraged prediction market infrastructure.
Per the team’s disclosures, it plans to hold roughly $13 million of the overraised funds (with a fully diluted valuation, or FDV, of approximately $69 million), while the remainder is earmarked for liquidity, ecosystem growth, and market-related efforts.
However, the explanation failed to ease doubts. Ethos CEO Serpin Taxt called the project’s actions—raising a "nominal $2.5 million, actual $20 million,
