According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance’s SAFU fund executed an on-chain contract call to add two wallets (0x4b16c5de96eb2117bbe5fd171e4d203624b014aa and 0xb7e60762d1edd21e8946abb72c3fd875bc53effb) to its receive whitelist, with the change visible in Etherscan transaction 0x789998fc781443bb9349292e1a5ee2f4b181f6937db3a379c7fc567924d5d607, making these addresses relevant for real-time monitoring (source: @ai_9684xtpa; source: Etherscan). The author notes that subsequent token purchases may be routed to or executed from these whitelisted wallets, suggesting traders add them to watchlists to track potential flows (source: @ai_9684xtpa). For trading execution, monitoring inbound ETH or ERC-20 transfers and redistribution patterns can offer early signals, while the transaction itself does not confirm any buys (source: Etherscan; source: @ai_9684xtpa). The author also contrasts reported institutional interest with recent BTC and ETH ETF net outflows as broader context for risk management and positioning (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the whale dubbed the 1011 flash crash short insider cut 12,587.99 ETH from Hyperliquid long address 0xb31…283ae in the past hour with a realized loss of about 3.424 million, based on Hyperliquid trader data via hyperbot.network. According to @ai_9684xtpa, a new address 0xcA0…b2998 withdrew 118,000 ETH from Binance over roughly 22 hours at an average withdrawal price near 2871.4, per Arkham Intel.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the account’s cumulative profit has retraced to the lowest since 2025.10 and earlier intraday unrealized loss neared 90 million as BTC and ETH printed local lows, based on hyperbot.network and the cited price prints. According to @ai_9684xtpa, liquidation risk is not immediate because leverage appears low and margin sufficient on Hyperliquid, per the platform metrics.

According to @VitalikButerin, protocol simplicity is a critical and underrated pillar of trustlessness, the walkaway test, and self-sovereignty in crypto systems (source: @VitalikButerin, Jan 18, 2026 tweet). According to @VitalikButerin, even a super-decentralized network with hundreds of thousands of nodes and 49% Byzantine fault tolerance can still fall short of practical trustlessness if complexity becomes a barrier (source: @VitalikButerin, Jan 18, 2026 tweet). According to @VitalikButerin, this emphasis on simplicity provides a trading lens to prioritize verifiability and broad node participation when assessing Layer-1s, Layer-2s, and DeFi protocol risk profiles (source: @VitalikButerin, Jan 18, 2026 tweet).

According to @santimentfeed on X (Jan 13, 2026), Bitcoin has crossed $94K again as BTC, ETH, and broader cryptocurrencies rebound.

According to @CoinMarketCap, Vitalik Buterin identified three structural problems for decentralized stablecoins: reliance on USD as the price benchmark, vulnerability of oracles to manipulation, and competition for capital versus Ethereum staking yields, all of which directly shape peg robustness and capital allocation in DeFi. Source: @CoinMarketCap For traders, this highlights three immediate risk checks: monitor peg stability relative to the USD benchmark, evaluate oracle architecture and manipulation resistance in protocols, and compare real yield spreads between decentralized stablecoin returns and ETH staking yields when allocating liquidity. Source: @CoinMarketCap These factors can inform position sizing and risk management across DeFi pools and stablecoin exposure, especially where oracle-dependent pricing and staking yield alternatives influence liquidity flows.
