On January 19, WalletConnect CEO Jess Houlgrave announced a partnership with Ingenico to launch stablecoin payment functionality on point-of-sale (POS) terminals. The first phase will allow acquiring institutions and payment service providers (PSPs) to use WalletConnect Pay on Ingenico terminals starting in January 2026. The first batch of merchants is expected to gradually onboard in Europe during Q1 and Q2 2026 as PSPs roll out the service across their merchant networks, with further expansion planned thereafter. The service enables "on-chain direct payments" that bypass traditional banking and credit card networks. It integrates into existing POS systems as an additional tag or application: users scan a code, select a blockchain (e.g., SOL, ETH) in wallets like MetaMask, and complete a signature to finalize the on-chain transaction. While some view this as a major breakthrough for bringing on-chain assets to offline consumption scenarios, the current workflow still relies h

**January 19th** A trader closed out a 3,280.34 ZEC short position (held for 26 days) at 13:05, realizing a $186,000 profit, per HyperInsight monitoring (via https://t.me/HyperInsight).

The associated address recently saw a significant capital inflow via a 695,698 USDC deposit, signaling the operator is actively positioning in the market.

January 19, per HyperInsight monitoring (via its Telegram channel @HyperInsight), the wallet address identified as the "Lightning Reversal" whale (0x50b3...) has once again adjusted its BTC long position—adding 6.09 BTC (valued at ~$523,600) via a liquidation-related move. Post-adjustment, the average entry price of its BTC long position dropped from $95,504.10 to $95,014.10, with a total position size of ~$1.9205 million. The position is currently in a floating loss of ~$48,600, representing a 50.59% drawdown.

On January 19, on-chain data analyst Murphy posted noting key shifts in BTC fund flows: Compared to January 12, the $88,000 long gamma position has vanished, flipping to short gamma. At $90,000, long gamma remains intact—but gamma exposure (GEX) has plummeted from $1.2 billion to $590 million, nearly halving. This means structural support in the $88k-$90k range has weakened significantly. By contrast, $92k GEX has surged to $1.4 billion, amplifying BTC’s volatility. From a URPD data standpoint, the chip structure has seen minimal change—with heavy stacking still clustered between $87k and $92k. This remains the strongest current support zone, unlikely to break easily. However, if an extreme scenario breaches this range, the probability of BTC filling the lower “gap” rises sharply. Per the “twin-anchor structure” rule, the midpoint sits around $72k-$74k.
