What Happened in Crypto in the Last 24 Hours
Friday, January 16, 2026
- Institutional investors bought about 6x the newly mined BTC in 2026 so far, roughly 30K BTC bought vs 5.7K BTC mined (Bitwise).
- Crypto Fear & Greed moved to 61 (Greed), its first time back in greed since the October crash.
- OG Bitcoin activity is cooling: the 90-day average dropped from ~2,300 BTC to ~1,000 BTC, suggesting reduced selling pressure (CryptoQuant).
- Ethereum hit a new record of 2.6M daily transactions.
- CME Group is expanding crypto derivatives with Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar futures.
- Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said the firm is spending “a lot of time” on tokenization, stablecoins, and prediction markets.
- West Virginia introduced a bill allowing the state treasury to invest up to 10% in precious metals and digital assets with market caps above $750B.
With sentiment back in greed and institutions absorbing supply, do you think this move has real legs or is it getting overheated?
