Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated on January 26th: "We need to simplify private companies’ access to capital. Right now, there’s greater incentive for firms to stay private longer—often for years—with all profits flowing to private equity and credit investors.

Eventually, businesses will complete the entire listing process on-chain, which will sharply cut costs, reduce friction, and boost participation. Here’s hoping that day comes soon."

On January 26, BlockSec Phalcon reported that it identified a series of suspicious transactions earlier today targeting contracts deployed by two distinct creators across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC—with total losses exceeding $17 million.

January 26th: Chris Burniske, former crypto lead at Ark Invest and now a partner at Placeholder VC, said: “I haven’t started buying yet, but if I were a buyer, key Bitcoin (BTC) price levels to watch would include: - ~$80k: November 2025 low, also a phased low in this bear market cycle; - ~$74k: April 2025 low (during the “Tariff Tantrum” period), slightly below MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) cost basis (~$76k); - ~$70k: Upper end of the $50k-$70k range, near the 2021 bull market high; - ~$58k: 200-week moving average, plus on-chain cost range (realized value ~$56k); - $50k and below: Lower bound of the weekly range, with strong psychological significance—if this level breaks, the “Bitcoin is dead” narrative may resurface.
