This is the second-highest drop in the category. The highest fall among the top 10 is XRP’s 2.2%, now standing at $1.91. On the other hand, two coins are currently green. Tron (TRX) appreciated by 3.3% to the price of $0.309. Binance Coin (BNB) is technically also green, but its increase is so low that the price is practically unchanged. It’s up 0.1% to $890.

I'm looking forward to joining @ChairmanSelig next week at our @SECgov and @CFTC joint event to discuss harmonization between our two agencies. Together we will discuss our efforts to deliver on President Trump’s promise to make the US the crypto capital of the world. Join us! https://t.co/qgJwmiHYus — Paul Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins) January 22, 2026 How Will Ukraine-Russia Talks Influence Markets According to Bitunix analysts, the recent developments around the Russia-Ukraine war may be beneficial for the markets, but possibly only in the short term. The US will facilitate talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi today. At the macro level, analysts say, “this initiative may help ease markets’ tail-risk fears of a full-scale escalation in the near term, but it does not imply a rapid end to the conflict.” A limited ceasefire could be more realistic. Moreover, geopolitical risk premia could ease in the short term, supporting risk assets and dampening volatility in energy prices, they add. Yet, the symbolism of these talks may outweigh any immediate breakthroughs. Over the medium term, “markets will need to see tangible room for Russian concessions; absent that, sentiment is likely to swing back and forth.” For crypto markets, “a scenario in which geopolitical uncertainty merely ‘cools but does not thaw’ would leave Bitcoin oscillating between its safe-haven narrative and its role as a high-beta risk asset,” they conclude. BTC is No Longer in State of Euphoria Linh Tran, Senior Market Analyst at XS.com , commented that Bitcoin’s short-term outlook is centred on interest rates, liquidity, and institutional capital flows. “After the sharp volatility seen toward the end of 2025, BTC is no longer trading in a state of euphoria, but instead reflects the cautious sentiment of global investors amid persistently high rates and financial conditions that have yet to meaningfully ease,” Tran writes. One of the most important factors influencing BTC is the level of U.S. Treasury yields. “BTC struggles to attract sustained new inflows unless markets begin to believe that the monetary policy cycle is approaching a turning point.” Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve will likely hold a cautious stance at the late-January meeting. Therefore, “only sufficiently strong economic data capable of shifting expectations around the rate path are likely to generate meaningful volatility in BTC; otherwise, the market is likely to remain locked in a tug-of-war,” the analysts argue. Still, the most decisive factor for BTC’s near-term outlook are institutional flows, they conclude. “Bitcoin only establishes a durable uptrend when ETF flows remain consistently positive, rather than through sporadic inflows that are quickly reversed.” Moreover, the dip-buying demand has not been strong enough to push prices through key resistance levels. Therefore, “without the support of fresh inflows, each rebound risks turning into a profit-taking opportunity, leaving the short-term trend choppy and lacking clear direction.” “From my perspective,” Tan writes, “the most plausible near-term scenario is for Bitcoin to continue consolidating in a cautious manner, with downside risks persisting if ETF outflows continue. For a more constructive scenario to emerge, the market would need to see improvement on two fronts simultaneously: easing financial conditions and a steady return of institutional net buying.” Conversely, Tan says, “if yields rebound or global markets shift decisively into a defensive, risk-off stance, Bitcoin is likely to face renewed downside pressure in the short term, given its high sensitivity to changes in risk appetite.” Levels & Events to Watch Next At the time of writing on Friday morning, BTC was changing hands at $89,477. It was quite a choppy trading day for the coin. The coin initially and briefly climbed to the intraday high of $90,159 and then dropped to the day’s low of $88,557. It continued trading in this range. Over the past 7 days, BTC decreased by nearly 7%, trading in the $87,653–$95,649 range. We now found the support at $89,300, followed by the $87,400 level. The latter previously acted as demand. On the other hand, the resistance levels stand at $91,800 and $94,200. Bitcoin Price Chart.

For most of the day, it traded in the $2,944-$2,953 range. Moreover, ETH fell 11.3% over the past seven days, moving between $2,898 and $3,361. Should the downward push continue, the price may fall further below $2,900, followed by $2,830 and $2,745. If the tide turns, ETH may reclaim the $3,000 level, and if it manages to hold it firmly, the move could open doors for additional notable increases. Ethereum (ETH) 24h 7d 30d 1y All time Meanwhile, the crypto market sentiment remained unchanged over the past day, firmly maintaining its position within the fear zone. The crypto fear and greed index currently stands at 34 today , the same level as yesterday. This highlights the overall uncertainty and caution in the market, with participants waiting to see in which direction the needle will move. ETFs See the Highest Drop in Two Months The US BTC spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted minor outflows on 22 January, totalling $32.11 million . This is the lowest amount of flows in nearly a month. The total net inflow now stands at $56.6 billion. Of the twelve ETFs, only two recorded outflows, and none saw inflows. BlackRock let go of $22.35 million, and Fidelity followed with $9.76 million in outflows. Additionally, the US ETH ETFs posted minor negative flows as well, with $41.98 million . Like their BTC counterparts, this is also the lowest amount since late December. With this, the total net inflow pulled back further for a third day in a row to $12.34 billion. Of the nine funds, two ETH ETFs posted outflows, and two saw inflows. Grayscale took in 17.63 million in total. At the same time, BlackRock recorded $44.44 million in outflows, followed by Bitwise’s $15.16 million. Meanwhile, major French hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is reportedly planning a US initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company over $4 billion. It would do so in collaboration with Wall Street banks Goldman Sachs , Jefferies , and Barclays . Exclusive: The French cryptocurrency group, which sells devices that allow investors to securely store tokens, is working with bankers at Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Barclays on an initial public offering that could take place as soon as this year. https://t.co/SLDJma0xX1 pic.twitter.com/FdoOGh6B58 — Financial Times (@FT) January 23, 2026 Quick FAQ Did crypto move with stocks today? After a single day of increases, the crypto market reverted to downward action that governed this week. Meanwhile, the US stock market closed the Thursday session higher for the second consecutive day. By the closing time on 22 January, the S&P 500 was up 0.55%, the Nasdaq-100 increased by 0.76%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.63%. Presumably, the TradFi markers are still digesting the US’s apparent decision not to use military force in Greenland or impose tariffs on eight NATO allies. Is this drop sustainable? For now, we may continue to see further decreases in the crypto market, at least in the short term. Nonetheless, the price action is not closed for a renewed upward trajectory, though how stable it would be is still unclear.

R. Kiyosaki shrugs off crypto crash as US debt and Dollar risks mount

Robert Kiyosaki took to X on January 22 to affirm that he is, unlike many other investors and observers, unfazed by the cryptocurrency market bloodbath that erased some $220 billion between January 18 and press time on January 23. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization one-week chart. Source: TradingView Specifically, in a social media post made late on Thursday, the famous author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ explained he ‘do(es) not care’ if the price of Bitcoin ( BTC ) – or gold and silver – goes in either direction. Instead, Kiyosaki believes that as long as one owns and keeps investing in the cryptocurrency and the two commodities , they will continue growing rich. A key reason for this, according to the author, is the fact that the national debt of the U.S. keeps rising, and the purchasing power of the American dollar (USD) keeps dropping . Indeed, the government debt rose from $36.19 trillion at the end of 2024 to more than $38.40 trillion at the end of 2025, despite President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s pledge to curtail spending. Within the same timeframe, the USD’s value dropped 2.68%. “The world has incompetent, highly educated PhD’s…like my poor dad…. Controlling the Fed, the Treasury, and US Government,” Kiyosaki remarked. Why Kiyosaki is not worried about crypto and commodity price moves The latest X post is largely consistent with the author’s overall message. For years, Kiyosaki has been lambasting fiat currencies such as USD as worthless and foretelling that a crisis that will erase most of the world’s wealth is imminent. While the foretold recession is yet to take place, Robert Kiyosaki’s investment advice – to always buy more BTC, gold, silver, and, if possible, cash-generating business, real estate, and wagyu ranches – has been rather fruitful in recent years. The author’s favored commodities have been reaching an all-time high (ATH) after an ATH at an accelerated pace in recent months. Gold is up 78.70% to $4,923 in the last 12 months, and silver has surged 225% to almost $99 within the same time frame. Gold and Silver one-year price charts. Source: TradingView Furthermore, despite the latest downturn, Bitcoin’s elevated valuation showcases long-term strength. Indeed, though the cryptocurrency is down 14.35% in the yearly charts, its press time price of $89,140 is higher than anything the digital asset reached before late 2024. BTC one-year price chart. Source: Finbold Is R. Kiyosaki’s investment advice reliable? Elsewhere, it is worth noting that the value of Robert Kiyosaki’s advice could be primarily dependent on timing and one’s ability to hold an asset indefinitely. Had an investor listened to the author’s advice and purchased BTC in late 2021, they would have had to wait until early 2024 for the trade to become profitable. Likewise, Kiyosaki was also urging his followers to buy more of the cryptocurrency at prices above $100,000, and, given Bitcoin’s press time level, there is no clear indication when those trades could become profitable.

Bitcoin Beats S&P 500 Since ETF Launch, Analyst Rebuts Peter Schiff

Nate Geraci has responded to Peter Schiff’s latest criticism of Bitcoin (BTC), challenging his claim that the cryptocurrency is lagging behind. This comes as data reveals that investors have shifted toward precious metals over the past year. Schiff Calls Out Bitcoin’s Poor Performance Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin skeptic, recently took to social media to say that the flagship cryptocurrency is now one of the “worst performing assets” on Wall Street. “Bitcoin was the best performing asset during a time period when hardly anyone owned it. But ever since Wall Street embraced it and most people bought it, it’s been one of the worst performing assets,” he wrote. However, Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, has disagreed with this view. The analyst responded to him on X, pointing out that Bitcoin has been outperforming the S&P 500, stating: “Spot BTC ETFs shattered every ETF launch record (i.e., ‘Wall St embraced it & most people bought it’).” He further explained that the cryptocurrency has risen roughly 90% since the ETFs debuted, compared with gains of less than 50% in the broader stock market, expressing frustration with the economist’s constant bearish outlook of the digital asset. Schiff has repeatedly criticized Bitcoin on social media in recent months, arguing that it has failed to live up to its reputation as “digital gold,” while also praising the performance of its traditional precious metals counterparts. Last December, he celebrated gold’s surge past $4,400 by challenging his followers with a poll asking whether the metal would hit $5,000 first or the leading cryptocurrency would plunge to $50,000. The financial commentator has also previously suggested that Bitcoin’s collapse will occur before any crisis involving the U.S. dollar unfolds. Shifting Market Dynamics A new report from Santiment shows that market dynamics are changing, with rising uncertainty about the world’s future outlook pushing investors toward precious metals. Data indicates that over the past year, silver has surged by 214%, gold has climbed 77%, and Bitcoin has dropped 16%. This divergence could be interpreted as a bullish sign for the lagging crypto market, as the performance of “digital gold” and metals has frequently alternated over the past decade, with Bitcoin often leading during specific cycles. However, some analysts argue that this preference for physical assets could represent a new long-term trend in the market. Overall, institutional investors have been steadily accumulating crypto, a pattern that has been consistent since late November last year.
