Gate Research:From January 13 to January 26, 2026, the crypto market remained broadly weak amid macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. Major assets traded lower in a defensive, range-bound structure, while market-cap performance showed clear divergence: the top 400 tokens posted mild pullbacks, whereas lower-cap segments outperformed. High-beta names such as PENGUIN and RIVER rallied sharply, while several previously overheated speculative assets saw steep corrections. Volume–price dynamics were also uneven—only a handful of tokens showed strong volume-price confirmation, while most remained in low-volume, weak-trend conditions. This suggests capital is still rotating tactically rather than positioning for a full trend reversal, though selective opportunities persist. Meanwhile, sectors such as NFT platform incentives, decentralized node networks, social task-based point systems, and prediction market ecosystems have begun rolling out airdrop-style campaigns.

The crypto market saw a broad sell-off, with BTC and ETH down 10% and 18% in January, respectively. Within Gate Private Wealth’s quantitative funds, the USDT strategy delivered a 6.7% return over the past year. The Interstellar Hedge (USDT) strategy stood out with a 5.0% monthly annualized return, while Quantum Leap (USDT) and Interstellar Hedge (USDT) have maintained a 100% monthly win rate since inception. The Top 30% portfolio achieved a 4.5% annualized return in January, significantly outperforming Bitcoin and U.S. Treasury yields. Overall, Walsh’s appointment does not imply a full shift toward monetary tightening, and the market consensus still points to two rate cuts this year.

In contrast, ETH experienced a deeper pullback, showing weaker momentum and subdued market sentiment. BTC futures open interest dropped to a one-month low, suggesting that long-positioned leverage traders actively reduced exposure due to a lack of fresh capital inflows.
