Bitcoin BTC/USD accumulator addresses absorbed 60,000 BTC in six days as the cryptocurrency rallied toward $91,000, while miners simultaneously moved 33,000 BTC to exchanges in early January 2026. Solana’s SOL/USD stablecoin market capitalization surged by $900 million in 24 hours following Jupiter’s JupUSD launch, bringing the network’s total stablecoin market cap to $15.3 billion and reinforcing its position as a critical hub for digital money infrastructure.
Crypto Market Developments
There is a lot of activity in the bitcoin market as big companies get ready for 2026. Monica Long, the president of Ripple Labs, said for sure that the firm will not go public. She said that the blockchain payments company will stay private even if it is worth $40 billion. Ripple got $500 million in venture capital and is now in a better regulatory environment since the SEC stopped taking enforcement measures in March 2025.
Barclays, a big UK bank, made its first investment in a stablecoin by sponsoring Ubyx, a US stablecoin clearing platform. This is a big step forward for traditional finance. Galaxy and Coinbase supported Ubyx’s $10 million seed round, and the investment shows that more institutions are interested in regulated digital money infrastructure. Tony McLaughlin, the founder of Ubyx and a former Citi payments veteran who calls himself a “tokenized money maximalist,” wants to create a global network for regulated stablecoins and tokenized deposits.
Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) decided not to exclude digital asset treasury businesses out of its market indexes, which was good news for Michael Saylor’s Strategy. After the announcement, strategy shares jumped 6.6% in after-hours trading. This keeps billions of dollars in passive capital flowing into companies that hold a lot of cryptocurrencies. The decision only impacts companies whose digital assets make up 50% or more of their total assets. MSCI said that more consultations would follow to separate investment and operating companies.
Bitcoin Accumulation Runs Into Renewed Miner Distribution
Bitcoin’s bounce in early January is happening even though there are mixed signals on the blockchain. Strong desire for accumulation is running into renewed miner distribution. According to CryptoQuant statistics, accumulator addresses increased their holdings from about 249,000 BTC to 310,000 BTC in the first six days of January. This was a big change after months of holding between 200,000 and 230,000 BTC from September to December 2025. This acceleration happens at the same time as Bitcoin is bouncing back toward the low-$90,000 region. This suggests that long-term investors are eager to buy up available supplies instead than waiting for bigger pullbacks.
Miners, on the other hand, are doing things differently. During the same six-day period in early 2026, about 33,000 BTC flowed from miner wallets to Binance. This is a pretty high amount of miner flows, as miners choose to de-risk after the recent price rise. This pattern usually happens when the market is uncertain after a surge, but just this selling pressure doesn’t mean there will be a big drop. Market mood is slowly getting better. For example, Binance’s seven-day net taker flow has been showing mild but steady net buying for the past seven days, averaging $410 million. This is a big change from November, when there was heavy net selling that reached $2.3 billion per day. The Bitcoin Unified Sentiment Index is back to neutral for the first time since November. This means that fear has gone down, but hope is still low.
Solana’s Stablecoin Market Cap Surges by $900 Million on Tuesday
According to DeFiLlama data, Solana’s stablecoin ecosystem had an extraordinary growth, with the market cap rising $900 million in just 24 hours on Tuesday to reach a total of $15.3 billion. The big jump happened when the decentralized finance platform Jupiter debuted its JupUSD stablecoin in conjunction with Ethena, a synthetic stablecoin issuer. This strengthened Solana’s position as a hub for Internet capital markets where value and risk move solely through onchain infrastructure. Circle’s USDC is the most popular stablecoin on the network, making up more than 67% of Solana’s entire stablecoin market cap.
The rise is in line with larger developments in digital finance infrastructure. Moody’s Investors Service said that stablecoin settlement volume went up 87% in 2025. They called stablecoins “critical infrastructure” for tokenized real-world assets that need on-chain liquidity and settlement. RWA.xyz says that the overall market cap of overcollateralized stablecoins, which are tokens backed one-to-one by fiat cash and government debt instruments, is close to $300 billion. This growth happens within new rules, like the GENIUS Act that President Donald Trump signed in July 2025. It says that regulated payment stablecoins must be backed one-to-one with high-quality liquid assets, and it doesn’t allow algorithmic models or issuers to share yield directly with customers.
