The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee announced that its hearing on the Crypto Markets Structure Bill, originally scheduled for January 15, has been postponed. The text of the bill will be released on January 21, and a markup hearing will be held on January 27. The committee stated that this adjustment aims to ensure transparency in the legislative process and give committee members more time for review. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman stated that the bill will provide clarity and certainty for the crypto market, protecting consumers while supporting American innovation. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking Committee will hold a separate markup hearing this week on its version of the Crypto Markets Structure Bill. The current Agriculture Committee version has not yet released its official text, and points of contention include ethical provisions and the composition of the regulatory committee. (CoinDesk)

Ethereum has reclaimed the $3,200 level, but traders remain cautious about whether Ether can successfully turn former resistance into durable support — or whether weaker application usage and U.S. macro uncertainty will continue to cap upside near $4,000.Key takeawaysEther trades near $3,200, but has repeatedly failed to sustain moves above $3,300 over the past two months.Declining DApp usage and DEX volumes are weighing on network fees and near-term demand for ETH.Layer-2 networks dominate Ethereum activity, while cheaper rival chains reduce the odds of a rapid push back to $4,000.ETH struggles to reclaim $3,300 despite network upgradesEther has spent most of the past 60 days trading below $3,300, raising questions about whether a durable bullish trend is still achievable in 2026. Despite ongoing protocol upgrades and Ethereum’s continued dominance in deposits and total value locked (TVL), investors appear unconvinced that a sustained breakout is imminent.At roughly $3,200, ETH is testing a level that previously acted as resistance through late 2025. The failure to decisively reclaim higher ground has reinforced the view that Ether’s upside is constrained by broader market conditions rather than ecosystem-specific issues.Since November, ETH’s price performance has closely tracked movements in the total crypto market capitalization, suggesting that macro sentiment and overall risk appetite are playing a larger role than Ethereum-specific fundamentals.Weaker DApp usage drags on fees and short-term demandSigns of softer demand are most visible in decentralized application activity.According to data from DefiLlama, aggregate decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes over the past two weeks totaled $150.4 billion, down 55% from the all-time high of $340 billion recorded in January 2025.Ethereum-based DEX volumes have fallen sharply as well. Seven-day DEX volumes on Ethereum are hovering near $9 billion, down from a peak of $27.8 billion in October 2025 — a 65% decline. Over the same period, Ethereum network fees dropped 87%, falling to roughly $2.6 million from $21.3 million three months earlier.Despite the slowdown, Ethereum’s broader ecosystem remains dominant. When combining activity across Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and other layer-2 solutions, Ethereum-aligned networks still account for around 50% of total DEX volume, underscoring its central role in decentralized finance.Layer-2 dominance reshapes Ethereum’s economic profileEthereum’s leadership in TVL continues to signal strong institutional preference, even as competitors such as Tron, Solana, and BNB Chain generate higher base-layer fees.Critics often argue that Ethereum has failed to fully monetize its dominance in smart-contract deposits. Supporters counter that this outcome is intentional, reflecting Ethereum’s rollup-centric scaling strategy, which prioritizes security and decentralization over base-layer fee maximization.Transaction data highlights this divergence. According to Nansen, Ethereum processed 54.4 million transactions over a recent 30-day period, while its layer-2 network Base alone recorded more than 600 million transactions during the same timeframe.By contrast, Solana’s base layer processes more transactions than its top 10 competitors combined, reflecting a design that emphasizes high throughput and low latency at the cost of greater coordination and a more centralized development model led by Solana Labs.Balance-sheet pressure adds to ETH headwindsEther’s prolonged consolidation below $3,200 has also weighed on firms that raised debt or equity to accumulate ETH.Bitmine Immersion, for example, reportedly holds $13.2 billion worth of Ether, yet its shares trade at a 9% discount to the value of those holdings, according to CoinGecko data. The gap highlights investor skepticism toward ETH’s near-term upside and the risks associated with leveraged exposure to a range-bound asset.What would reignite a move toward $4,000?For now, a clear catalyst capable of shifting momentum decisively back in Ethereum’s favor remains elusive.Rival networks continue to offer comparable decentralized applications with lower friction, while economic uncertainty in the United States is limiting broader risk appetite. Without a meaningful rebound in on-chain activity, fee generation, or macro-driven demand for crypto assets, Ether’s path back to $4,000 and beyond appears challenging.Bottom line: Ethereum remains the backbone of decentralized finance, but price leadership in 2026 will depend less on protocol upgrades and more on whether application demand and global risk sentiment recover in a meaningful way.

The largest cryptocurrency is now pressing into a key resistance zone between $95,000 and $97,000, an area that has capped upside attempts since late November.What to know:Bitcoin rose more than 3.5% in the past 24 hours, climbing above $95,000 as cooling inflation data and political uncertainty renewed demand for macro hedges.Lower CPI data strengthened expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year, reinforcing the “soft landing” narrative.BTC is now testing a critical resistance band that could determine whether prices break toward $100,000 or consolidate further.Bitcoin pushed higher during Tuesday’s session, extending gains to trade above $95,000, after rebounding from weekend lows near $91,000. The move followed the release of U.S. inflation data showing headline CPI holding steady at 2.7%, while core CPI came in below expectations, easing concerns about renewed price pressures.The rally unfolded as broader risk sentiment improved, even as U.S. equities traded modestly lower on the day.Altcoins and broader marketsMajor altcoins followed Bitcoin higher:Ether (ETH) rose about 1.9% to around $3,200BNB gained roughly 1.6% to trade near $910The broader crypto market, tracked by the CoinDesk 20 Index, advanced approximately 1.5%Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing above $4,650 per ounce, underscoring continued demand for inflation and geopolitical hedges. U.S. equity indexes, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, were modestly lower by about 0.2%, highlighting a degree of divergence between traditional risk assets and crypto.Inflation data reshapes rate expectations“This CPI print finally clears much of the macro uncertainty that lingered into the end of 2025,” said Matt Mena, crypto strategist at digital asset investment firm 21Shares.“Core inflation coming in lower than expected reinforces the Fed’s soft-landing narrative and meaningfully increases the probability of additional rate cuts this year, even as political tensions add noise around monetary policy.”Lower interest rates typically reduce the appeal of cash and fixed-income instruments, supporting demand for alternative and risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. Market-based expectations for an immediate rate cut remain low, but traders increasingly price in easing later in the year.Bitcoin eyes $100,000 as resistance comes into focusDespite the strong rebound, analysts note that Bitcoin is entering a technically important zone.The $95,000–$97,000 region has repeatedly capped upside over the past two months, making it a decisive level for near-term direction.“If upcoming retail sales and housing data confirm continued consumer resilience, we expect Bitcoin to decisively clear this resistance,” Mena said. “That would set the stage for a move toward $100,000 before month-end and open the door to fresh all-time highs later this quarter.”Additional catalysts aheadSeveral near-term events could inject further volatility into crypto markets:Progress on U.S. digital asset market structure legislation, which could provide regulatory clarity for institutionsA pending Supreme Court ruling on federal tariff authority, with implications for the dollar and inflation expectationsOngoing political tensions surrounding the Federal Reserve’s independenceFor now, Bitcoin’s ability to hold above $95,000 and attract follow-through buying will be the key signal traders are watching.Bottom line: Cooling inflation and shifting rate expectations have reignited momentum in crypto markets. Whether Bitcoin can turn this rally into a sustained push toward $100,000 now hinges on macro data and its ability to break through a long-standing resistance zone.
