Bitcoin optimism despite weakness; Arthur Hayes, early investor say it is not a bear market
Bitcoin has slipped below $80,000, but Arthur Hayes and early bitcoin investor Davinci Jeremie view the decline as a buying opportunity rather than a market top. They described the selloff as a forced shakeout driven by macroeconomic pressure, citing a surge in U.S. 10-year Treasury yields and inflation data. A Deribit Prime Trading strategist flagged $80,000 as a near-term pivot and stressed sustained ETF inflows. Market direction may hinge on $80,000, ETF flows and U.S.-China trade talks.

U.S. SEC approves Nasdaq stock tokenisation plan as Wall Street drives blockchain
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved Nasdaq’s plan to tokenise securities, allowing tests in which certain stocks and ETFs are issued as blockchain-based tokens and traded alongside existing shares. Investors can hold tokenised versions in digital wallets, while settlement is handled by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. Supporters say tokenisation could enable 24-hour trading and instant settlement, though the model does not replace the current financial system.

Mantle adopts Ethereum blobs, moves to Ethereum ZK rollup architecture
Mantle Network said on Jan. 23 it has adopted Ethereum blobs as its main data availability layer and will transition to an Ethereum ZK rollup architecture. Mantle said the shift strengthens its high-performance distribution-layer strategy connecting traditional finance, real-world assets and on-chain liquidity, while better aligning with Ethereum’s long-term scaling roadmap. It said the move gathered pace after Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade, which it views as a turning point for expanding blob throughput capacity by up to eight times in theory.
