The Optimism Foundation’s proposal for a token buyback goes to a vote on January 22, 2026. OP price has fallen sharply over the past year, and sentiment is largely bearish. The buyback could catalyze gains, with OP eyeing $0.52-$0.75. Optimism’s OP token changed hands around $0.30 on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, slightly up in the past 24 hours as the community edges towards a key governance vote.

The one-exchange-one-bank model is not a legal requirement but is widely followed. A government study found the setup limits access for small crypto exchanges. Large platforms dominate Korean won-based trading due to better liquidity. South Korea’s top regulators are reportedly reviewing how local cryptocurrency exchanges work with banks, aiming to create a more balanced playing field. The current system often links each crypto exchange to just one bank, limiting choice and creating high entry barriers for smaller firms. Though this setup isn’t officially required by law, it has become widespread due to anti-money laundering and identity verification rules. The Financial…

A trader identified as an “insider” gained over $600,000 in unrealised profits by sniping the ZREAL memecoin immediately upon its launch.

The incident underscores ongoing transparency concerns on platforms like Pump.fun, where early insiders often profit at the expense of later retail investors. A new memecoin called ZREAL is blowing up in price and popularity, and one trader made a huge return by getting in right at the start and then selling almost immediately, which is nothing…
Natural gas prices surged 17.76% on Jan. 19, driven by cold forecasts across Northeast Asia and Europe, tightening liquidity in global LNG markets, and short-covering in European storage inventories sitting 15% points below the five-year average.For most crypto traders, a weather-driven commodity spike registers as irrelevant noise.
