Jan 28: Per GMGN market data, on-chain meme coin CLAWD on Base briefly topped a $40 million market cap to notch an all-time high. It now trades at ~$34 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of nearly $25.4 million and a 465% 24-hour gain. In response, its issuance protocol BNKR saw its market cap surpass $57 million, posting a 107% 24-hour gain and $8.6 million in trading volume. Reportedly, CLAWD is a community-issued token tied to the AI agent "clawd.atg.eth"—a self-hosted personal AI assistant deployed by Ethereum Foundation developer Austin Griffith using the open-source clawd.bot. The CLAWD community deployer has stated it will send a portion of transaction fees to the "clawd.atg.eth" wallet. Base’s official account tweeted about and engaged actively with CLAWD multiple times overnight and this morning, likely a key driver for its ongoing rally. Meanwhile, "clawd.atg.eth" is building a Fomo3D-like on-chain game centered around CLAWD. BlockBeats notes: This meme coin i

**Bitcoin Spot ETF Investors Face "Belief Test" as Prices Fluctuate Near $86k Entry Point** As of Jan 28, the average entry price for U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF investors stands at roughly $86,000. With markets oscillating around this level, investors are grappling with a "belief test": whether to hold amid volatility or lock in profits to avoid turning gains into losses. CryptoQuant analyst Moreno noted that historically, entry price ranges act as psychological fulcrums: prices above the range boost investor confidence and stabilize fund flows, while persistent moves below erode profit cushions and accelerate redemptions. Since last October, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF holdings have declined 8.4%, with cumulative inflows falling from ~$72.6 billion to ~$66.5 billion. Performance was lackluster in late January: net outflows were recorded on 6 of 7 trading days, with only a meager $6.8 million in net inflows on Jan 26.

On January 28, Ethereum researcher Thomas Thiery—better known by his alias soispoke—proposed integrating FOCIL as a core anti-censorship feature in the upcoming Hegota upgrade. Hegota, Ethereum’s second major 2026 upgrade, is scheduled to launch in the second half of the year. FOCIL is a protocol-layer mechanism that modifies Ethereum’s fork-choice rule to mandate any valid transaction be included in an on-chain block within a set timeframe. This allows multiple validators to collectively enforce transaction inclusion, rather than relying on a single block builder. The proposal’s main goal is to cut Ethereum’s dependence on centralized validators, mitigating future risks of large-scale transaction censorship. This strengthens Ethereum’s core value as a neutral, censorship-resistant blockchain. “Without FOCIL, the protocol is exposed to large-scale censorship events,” Thiery said. “Ethereum should proactively design for long-term resilience instead of reacting passively to s
