Tom Lee maintains his $250,000 Bitcoin price target but predicts a turbulent 2026 for crypto adoption and risk assets. He anticipates 2026 will ultimately resemble a continuation of the 2022 bull market. However, markets must navigate several transitions that could cause significant drawdowns. These include a "new Fed" dynamic, increased White House intervention in specific sectors, and uncertainty surrounding AI's full market impact. Lee suggests the S&P 500 could experience a 10-20% pullback before year-end. He notes that institutional clients are not yet aggressively positioned, and leverage levels, while high, are not indicative of a market peak. Crypto's divergence from gold is attributed to a major deleveraging event on October 10th, which significantly impaired market makers. Lee believes Bitcoin is digital gold, but its ownership base is distinct from gold holders. He sees a future adoption curve for crypto that is higher than gold's, despite its jagged path. If Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high in 2026, it would signify that the recent deleveraging event is behind the market. Lee's conviction stems from crypto's increasing usefulness, bank adoption of blockchain, and the emergence of scalable crypto financial models. He advises viewing market pullbacks as buying opportunities rather than reasons to sell.

Trove Markets' new token experienced a dramatic collapse shortly after its launch, with early gains quickly wiped out. Investors who bought at the initial offering saw their holdings plummet by approximately 95% within hours. The token's market value fell from an implied $20 million to under $2 million. A significant selling pressure emerged immediately after the token generation event, with some wallets offloading large amounts of coins. This coincided with widespread accusations of a "rug pull" on social media platforms. Despite the token's crash, Trove had previously raised approximately $11.5 million in its public sale. The project team announced they would retain about $9.4 million for development and a blockchain switch, with only a fraction returned as refunds. This allocation led to anger and demands for full refunds and public audits from investors. On-chain analysis revealed unusual transfers to new accounts, raising questions about the transparency of token allocations. Trove later stated a liquidity partner had withdrawn support, necessitating a pivot to the Solana blockchain to keep the project viable. The team pledged continued building, increased transparency, and delivery of a functional platform to regain trust.

Chainlink whales, the top 100 largest addresses, have been accumulating LINK tokens despite the price falling below $13.00. This trend indicates that large investors are potentially preparing for a future price increase or influencing one. Santiment's data reveals the whales increased their holdings in November as the price dropped, suggesting they were buying the dip. After briefly selling some holdings in December and early January, accumulation has resumed recently. Compared to early November, the top 100 addresses now hold 16.1 million more LINK tokens. Santiment notes that smart money often accumulates when retail investors sell due to fear and uncertainty. Parallel to this, Bitcoin sharks and whales, holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC, are also accumulating Bitcoin. These Bitcoin holders have added 36,322 BTC to their holdings within the last nine days. Conversely, retail investors holding less than 0.01 BTC have sold off 132 BTC during the same period. The current price of Chainlink is around $12.33, reflecting a decline of over 10% in the last week. These on-chain activities may signal potential market movements but the overall impact remains to be seen. The accumulation by whales in both assets could indicate a positive sentiment for their long-term prospects.
