Oklahoma takes on AI regulation at state level with three regulatory bills
An Oklahoma lawmaker has filed three regulatory bills aimed at placing safeguards on artificial intelligence usage in the state. According to the bill, House Bill 3545, AI systems will be barred from being granted personhood under state or federal law. Artificial intelligence systems have been in the news lately after the xAI chatbot Grok was being used by some users to create intimate pictures of women and children without consent. The move has caused several leaders across countries to speak out, with most of them criticizing the platform and its owner, Elon Musk. House Bill 3545 will look to cover aspects like that in Oklahoma, with the bill barring its use for deepfakes of any kind. Oklahoma lawmaker submits three AI regulations House Bill 3545 is expected to have more applications at the state government level compared to the federal level. It will restrict government use of artificial intelligence for discriminatory classification systems, biometric surveillance, and the creation of deepfakes. In addition, any AI recommendations would require thorough human review before they are implemented, and agencies in Oklahoma would also need to take part in an annual statewide AI report. House Bill 3545 also aims to protect young Oklahoma residents from AI systems like chatbots. If passed, it would prohibit the deployment of a “social AI companion” to minors in Oklahoma, and the use of an AI chatbot would require age certification measures. In addition, the Oklahoma bill has an exception for therapeutic AI tools, highlighting that users can be allowed to use them provided they are used with professional oversight. While the Oklahoma bill seeks to address the most important issues in the artificial intelligence industry today, it is coming after a federal executive order signed by United States President Donald Trump in December 2025. The executive order sought to block states from enforcing their AI laws, keeping them under federal control. He also created a litigation Task Force that would challenge state AI laws that conflict with federal rules. Meanwhile, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued a cease-and-desist order to artificial intelligence company xAI, demanding that the business stop generating offensive deepfake images through its Grok chatbot. The order was issued in response to Grok being used to create unlawful and offensive content, which primarily revolves around nonconsensual adult photographs. He argued that it is illegal to create, distribute, and display CSAM. California is not the only region targeting xAI and its Grok chatbot. India recently called on the company and its executives to check the activities of the chatbot. It highlighted the harm it was doing to women and society at large. The country also has the platform as an ultimatum to ensure a safeguard is developed to combat this menace. On the other hand, Indonesia has announced sanctions on the chatbot, suspending its usage in the country. The country noted that using the chatbot to create fake pornography amounts to a form of digital violence. “The government views non-consensual sexual deepfakes as a serious violation of human rights, dignity, and citizens’ security in the digital space,” the country said at the time. Meanwhile, blogging platform X has released a statement noting that image generation on the platform has now been limited to only verified users. “We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis,” the X Safety account said on Wednesday. “This restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers.” The smartest crypto minds already read our newsletter.

Pundit: XRP and Crypto Holders, Listen Closely
A recent post from crypto commentator X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) landed at a sensitive moment for digital asset markets. His message, directed at XRP and crypto holders, warned that events unfolding in Switzerland could shape the future of global liquidity. He said next week’s World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos would pit two competing visions of money against each other. The video focused on central banks, U.S. policy shifts, and a growing divide between public and private financial rails. These themes connect directly to XRP’s role in cross-border settlement and interoperability. LISTEN CLOSELY $XRP AND CRYPTO HOLDERS This is The Battle for the Future of Money. The BIS is pushing programmable CBDCs. Trump is sending the largest U.S. delegation in Davos history to block it. What happens next week could reshape global liquidity forever btw.… pic.twitter.com/Ow87O4XTbN — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) January 15, 2026 Project Agora and the BIS Agenda In the video, X Finance Bull described Project Agora as a key initiative launched by the Bank for International Settlements in April 2024. He said it brought together seven major central banks, including the Federal Reserve New York branch, the ECB, and the Bank of England, alongside more than 40 global commercial banks. According to the video, Project Agora aims to create a unified programmable ledger for tokenized wholesale money with fast cross-border settlement. He said smart contracts would be embedded directly into money, adding, “They call it efficiency. Everyone else calls it the cage.” He described Agora as a base layer that could later extend into retail CBDCs, raising the stakes for assets like XRP. U.S. Policy Shift Under Trump He also focused on the sharp policy turn following Donald Trump’s return to office in January 2025. The speaker said Trump signed an executive order banning any U.S. federal agency from creating or promoting a CBDC . He described CBDCs as “a direct threat to freedom and dollar sovereignty.” This move halted a clear U.S. path within Project Agora. X Finance Bull noted that the New York Fed remained involved at a research level, but without authority to issue a digital dollar. He contrasted this with support for private crypto, stablecoins, and a Bitcoin strategic reserve . For XRP, this policy environment aligns with Ripple’s emphasis on private sector infrastructure that integrates with existing banks rather than replacing them with state-issued digital cash.

He said Trump would attend in person with senior cabinet officials. He claimed Europe and the U.K. continue to advance programmable systems to set global standards. He said, “Either Agora stays a limited wholesale experiment, or the split becomes permanent.” That split places U.S.-led private crypto rails against European-controlled programmable systems.

Solana RWA TVL zooms past $1B mark to set new record high
The total value locked (TVL) in Solana’s real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem has surpassed $1 billion, setting a new all-time high. RWA.xyz. data revealed that Solana’s distributed real-world asset value has increased to $1.12 billion, up 18.84% over the previous 30 days, driven by significant capital inflows into tokenized assets. RWA involvement is also growing with 134,656 holders, or an 18.20% monthly increase. The 30-day RWA transfer volume reached $1.73 billion, a 30.02% increase from the previous month, indicating that activity is still strong, according to RWA.xyz. Institutional investors propel Solana’s RWA ecosystem growth Solana’s RWA ecosystem has officially crossed $1 billion in TVL, a new ATH. It's time to accelerate. pic.twitter.com/wx2ycBHU13 — Solana (@solana) January 15, 2026 On-chain data show that RWA’s value was below $100 million for much of the first half of 2024, then increased steadily through March and June. In September of the same year, Solana’s RWA growth began to change when TVL reached $200 million, signalling the first major capital deployment wave. In late 2024, momentum took a brief break. As of March 2025, DefiLiama revealed that RWA TVL had grown to over $350 million. Between June and September of the same year, RWA TVL increased from over $450 million to over $700 million. At last, in December 2025, Solana surpassed $800 million and then exceeded $1 billion. Solana’s RWA growth from 2024 up to date represents the growing institutional and on-chain demand for tokenized assets on the network, capping a consistent year-long ascent. Treasuries, private credit, and funds are now settling digitally, with tokenized U.S. Treasuries, such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and Ondo’s OUSG, leading the way. Data from RWA.xyz revealed that BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund led investment of Solana’s RWA with around $205.3 million, PRIME held approximately $201.3 million, and Ondo U.S. Dollar Yield, in third place, held around $175.6 million. Additionally, OnRe Tokenized Reinsurance Fund held $86 million, and Ondo Short-Term US Government Bond Fund had about $71.2 million. Major institutional investors are driving growth and adoption in Solana’s real-world asset ecosystem. Source: RWA.xyz The Solana metrics revealed that these top holders held a substantial share of the $1.12 billion in total value locked, indicating strong institutional confidence in Solana’s RWA. Investors drive Solana’s market amid price stability, TVL growth The Solana RWA ecosystem , surpassing $1 billion in TVL, has led to SOL’s price stabilizing, suggesting the possibility of additional gains if SOL holds key support levels. Solana (SOL) is currently trading at $143.72, up 0.81% from the previous day. Solana’s price range has been between $140.5 and $145.4, suggesting comparatively low daily trading volume. According to CoinGecko data, Solana has grown by 5.1% over the last seven days, 9.8% in the previous fourteen, and 16.1% over the last 30 days, indicating a strong medium-term recovery. However, despite Solana’s recent gains, investor activity in U.S. Solana spot ETFs showed uneven flows, suggesting a cautious attitude among institutional and retail funds. On January 16, data from Farside Investors showed that Solana spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $2.2 million. According to the data, 21 Shares TSOL recorded a net outflow of $700,000, and Grayscale GSOL reached a net outflow of $1.9 million. Meanwhile, activity in the Solana meme coin space also grabbed the attention. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead. Stay there with our newsletter .

Dogecoin Price Hovers Around $0.137 as Oversold Signals Hint at Potential Bounce
Dogecoin is trading near $0.137, consolidating after a sharp intraday drop from around $0.138 to $0.135, where strong buying interest emerged. The swift rebound from this level highlights $0.136 as a key short-term support level, with the price quickly reclaiming the $0.137 zone. Since the recovery, DOGE has moved sideways in a tight range between $0.137 and $0.138, indicating market indecision after the volatility. A sustained hold above $0.136–$0.137 keeps the near-term structure stable, while a breakout above $0.138 would signal renewed upside momentum. At press time, Dogecoin was trading at $0.1376, down 0.38% over the past 24 hours. Dogecoin Stochastic Hits Oversold Zone, Hinting at Potential Bounce According to analyst Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin’s daily stochastic indicator slipping into the oversold zone signals that downside momentum may be nearing exhaustion. The stochastic oscillator measures the speed and strength of recent price moves, and when it drops into oversold territory, it suggests selling pressure has become stretched relative to recent ranges. Historically, this condition has often appeared near short-term bottoms for DOGE, especially after a pullback within a broader consolidation or recovery phase. DOGE 1-day price chart, Source: X From a technical perspective, Trader Tardigrade highlights that similar oversold readings in the past have preceded relief bounces or trend resumptions, rather than prolonged declines. While an oversold signal does not guarantee an immediate reversal, it increases the likelihood of stabilization as sellers lose control and buyers step in. In this context, the current stochastic setup suggests a potential rebound phase if the price confirms with follow-through and improving momentum in the coming sessions. Dogecoin Price Stalls Near $0.138 as Bearish Trend Persists Dogecoin has remained in a sustained downtrend on the daily timeframe, sliding from the mid-$0.20 region toward the current $0.137–$0.138 area. The chart shows a consistent pattern of lower highs and lower lows, with each recovery attempt capped below previous resistance levels around $0.16 and $0.15. While price has recently stabilized near $0.1377, this move still sits well below prior breakdown zones, indicating the broader bearish structure remains intact. DOGE 1-day price chart, Source: TradingView The Bollinger Bands show price trading near the lower band, with the lower band at $0.120 and the middle 20-day moving average around $0.139, highlighting continued downside pressure and weak volatility expansion. Price remains below the mid-band, which acts as dynamic resistance. On the momentum side, the MACD is close to the zero line, with the MACD line at 0.00133 and the signal line at 0.00149, resulting in a marginally negative histogram.
