Sonic: Over 16.02 Million Unclaimed Season 1 Airdrop S Tokens Burned

On January 18th, @PerpetualCow—founder of Wagyu and Fwog.fun—posted a tweet detailing their new meme coin FROG: - Spent $200k to acquire 95% of FROG’s total supply; **will never sell these tokens** (may use for giveaways or continue accumulating in larger amounts later). - Frames FROG as Fwog’s mascot and marketing tool; pledges to ensure strong performance. - Publicly teases Fwog’s price mechanism: FROG will rise over time, not crash to zero like typical meme coins. - Goal: Build Fwog into a multi-billion-dollar giant to surpass Pump. **Disclaimer**: FROG is unrelated to Fwog.fun’s unlaunched platform token FWOG. Users can already earn points, which will convert to FWOG once it goes live—no launch delays to charge fees, per the founder. Per GMGN data: FROG has a $102M market cap, with $6.5M in trading volume in its first 2 hours.

On January 18, crypto trading index analytics platform CoinKarma released an article noting: Bitcoin (BTC) rose to nearly $98,000 this week, but as it approached that level, the market saw the most significant selling pressure in recent weeks—triggering a slight price pullback. However, overall liquidity for both buyers and sellers has not shown a clear imbalance, remaining relatively balanced. Other key market indicators have yet to send a clear signal. Given the current landscape, long position holders who entered at relatively low levels early this year may want to consider taking profits: they can choose to partially or fully close their positions and wait for clearer signals before re-entering the market.

Jan 18 (BlockBeats) — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin could trigger $645 million in short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) if it breaks above $97,000. Conversely, a drop below $93,000 may spark $752 million in long liquidations. Note from BlockBeats: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number or value of contracts to be liquidated. Instead, the bars reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to nearby clusters — meaning "intensity." A higher bar indicates hitting that price level will cause a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.
