The top meme coin by USD1 transaction volume in the Trading Battle is "Polar Bear 2026," with a roughly 75% price increase in the last 24 hours
On January 21st, GMGN monitoring data shows that on the 6th day of BNB Chain’s 10-day “USD1 Trading Contest,” the top Meme coin by trading volume in the past 24 hours is **Polar Bear 2026**.
The token has a reported market cap of $7.5 million, a current price of roughly $0.0075, and a 75% 24-hour price increase. It began surging early this morning, hitting a high of $0.0082 before retracing sharply.
Monitoring also indicates the current top three Meme coins by market cap are EGL1, BIG DON, and CDL—all with market caps exceeding $25 million. Reportedly, the top three winners of the trading contest will earn multiple incentive rewards.

Linux users should be aware of a new type of attack on the Snap Store, where hackers can take over developers' identities to trick users into submitting their seed phrase.
**On January 21st, SlowMist CISO 23pds alerted Linux users to a new Snap Store attack targeting cryptocurrency assets.**
Attackers are hijacking domains to deploy backdoors for stealing users’ encrypted funds. Tampered apps masquerade as well-known crypto wallets—including Exodus, Ledger Live, and Trust Wallet—with interfaces nearly identical to legitimate versions, tricking users into entering their wallet recovery seed phrases.
Here’s how the exploit works: Attackers monitor Snap Store developer accounts for expired associated domains. Once they find an expired domain, they register it immediately, then use the domain’s linked email to reset the Snap Store publisher’s password, taking over the identity of a long-trusted developer.
23pds emphasized this means software users trusted for years could be compromised overnight via official updates. Two publisher domains—storewise[.]tech and vagueentertainment[.]com—have already been hijacked using this method.

If Bitcoin rebounds above $92,000, the mainstream CEX aggregate short liquidation volume will reach $1.489 billion
As of January 21st, Coinglass data shows that if Bitcoin rebounds above $97,000, cumulative short liquidation strength across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $1.489 billion.
Conversely, a drop below $87,000 would trigger $806 million in cumulative long liquidation strength for these same major CEXs.
BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts at risk of liquidation. Instead, the bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—referred to as "strength."
This means the chart illustrates how significantly the underlying asset’s price will be impacted when it hits a specific level. Higher liquidation bars indicate that reaching that price point will spark a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.
