On January 27, per OnchainLens monitoring, a newly created wallet has received 1.6 billion PUMP tokens from Bitget—valued at roughly $4.03 million. The address may be gearing up to sell.

On January 27, Tom Lee — chairman of BitMine and co-founder of Fundstrat — told CNBC in an interview: "I think cryptocurrencies should have rallied amid a weak U.S. dollar and Fed-friendly backdrop, but since the industry has already deleveraged, it hasn’t seen that leverage-fueled push. Meanwhile, as gold and silver keep climbing, the market will see FOMO (fear of missing out) — with funds favoring precious metals over crypto assets. That said, this is just a leading indicator; historically, after gold and silver consolidate, it often sparks a rally in Bitcoin and Ethereum."

On January 27, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted: “Gold, silver and Bitcoin are safe-haven assets. If the market still views Bitcoin as a ‘risk asset,’ it is undervalued.”

January 27 – South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Coinone has denied holding talks with Coinbase regarding a stake sale, per Beincrypto. A Coinone spokesperson stated that rumors of a stake sale are “entirely unfounded.” While the exchange has received collaboration proposals from numerous overseas exchanges and domestic companies, this is standard practice for engaging with various parties when evaluating business expansion opportunities. Interpreting these discussions as a stake sale is inconsistent with the facts, the spokesperson added. On January 26, BlockBeats previously reported that Seoul Economic Daily noted Coinone’s majority shareholder and board chairman Cha Myung-hoon is considering selling a portion of his holdings.

On January 27, Solana co-founder Toly updated his Twitter profile picture to a Penguin-themed concept image. Per GMGN monitoring (link: https://gmgn.ai/sol/token/i_m4TE56o8_8Jx8AAHj86wbQgUTjGuj6GTTL5Ps3cqxKRTvpaJApump), this news may have sparked a temporary surge of over 17% in **PENGUIN**, a Solana-based meme coin. PENGUIN currently has a market cap of $9,330 and a 24-hour trading volume of $80.6 million. BlockBeats cautions that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily tied to market sentiment and hype cycles, with no inherent value or practical use case. Investors should be mindful of these risks.
