**Fundstrat’s Sean Farrell Reaffirms Bitcoin’s Long-Term $1M Target, Flags 2026 Volatility; Ethereum Framed as “Small-Cap Tech Stock”** In a January 7 interview, Fundstrat Global Advisors’ Head of Digital Asset Strategy Sean Farrell said Bitcoin remains “on track” to hit $1 million long-term, with high-quality crypto assets backed by strong structural tailwinds. However, Farrell noted 2026 will be a “trader’s market,” marked by potential volatility from a “risk-clearing event” in the first half of the year. Bitcoin could dip to $60,000—what he called a “deep value area” and “buy-the-dip opportunity.” Improved liquidity, policy stimulus, and AI-driven growth will drive opportunities in the second half, he added. For Ethereum, Farrell framed ETH as a “small-cap tech stock” in the eyes of traditional asset managers. The token stands to benefit from Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, which saw 145% year-over-year growth in Q3 2025, bringing higher-quality assets into DeFi and bo

On Jan 7, Nasdaq-listed AIxCrypto (AIXC) announced plans to invest $10 million in Faraday Future through common stock purchases. The shares will serve as the underlying asset for the company’s first tokenized equity product. AIxCrypto—formerly known as QLGN—rebranded in November of last year, transitioning to a crypto and Web3 business platform focused on tokenized stock real-world asset (RWA) operations.

On January 7, Flow released an attack retrospective report, noting attackers exploited a Flow Network vulnerability to mint fake tokens and steal roughly $3.9 million via a bridging attack. The incident did not access or leak existing user balances—assets were duplicated but legitimate holdings remained untouched. Most fake assets were either stored on-chain before liquidation or frozen by exchange partners. Network validators approved a decentralized governance action to permanently destroy all fake assets. The network resumed operations on December 29, runs smoothly now, and all transaction history is preserved. Attackers deployed over 40 malicious smart contracts using a three-stage chain: 1) bypassing attachment import verification; 2) circumventing built-in type defense checks; 3) exploiting a contract initializer semantic vulnerability. **The root cause was a type confusion flaw in the Cadence runtime (v1.8.8), now patched in v1.8.9+. This flaw let attackers disgui

On January 7th, CryptoQuant analyst caueconomy noted in a post that while Bitcoin’s price has rebounded above $93,000, on-chain demand remains weak—requiring a stronger recovery to push it back to $100,000. Market sentiment is still mixed, and trading volumes are low; clear signs of improved on-chain activity have yet to materialize. That said, now that the holidays are over (a time when many investors scaled back trading), this could shift now.
