Binance will airdrop 3500 EPT tokens to eligible users

January 30 — Silver plunged 14.16% in a single day today, marking its second-largest historical drop, only behind the 1980 “Silver Thursday” crash when prices collapsed 50%-63% amid the Hunt Brothers’ manipulation unraveling. Renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt — who correctly predicted the 2018 Bitcoin crash — flagged silver risks in a post yesterday. This morning, he doubled down on warnings about hype-fueled surge risks for the metal. He noted Comex trading volume this week hit 4.3 billion ounces, equal to 5.2 years of global silver production, which likely reflects miners hedging positions rather than purely demand-driven activity. Brandt emphasized mining firms will lock in profits at elevated prices, potentially spurring oversupply.

On January 30, GMGN monitoring data reveals that Solana ecosystem meme coin ELON saw a sharp surge fueled by its listing on Bybit Spot. Its short-term market capitalization hit $15 million but failed to break its previous high, followed by a steep decline. Currently, ELON’s market cap stands at around $4.5 million, with a price of approximately $0.0045. On-chain data shows the average purchase cost for the top 100 addresses is roughly $0.0044. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, relying heavily on market sentiment and speculative hype with no actual value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
