India to Begin Global Crypto Transaction Data Sharing in 2027 Under OECD CARF: Compliance Impact for Exchanges and Traders
According to @simplykashif, India will begin sharing cryptocurrency transaction data with other countries from April 1, 2027 under the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, as reported by The Economic Times. Officials have already started work on the global data-sharing format and will provide technical support to crypto exchanges to upgrade systems, according to The Economic Times. Under CARF, reporting crypto-asset service providers must perform due diligence, collect customer and transaction details, and exchange this information with tax authorities to enhance cross-border tax transparency, according to the OECD. For traders and exchanges serving Indian residents, this means expanded compliance and KYC requirements across on-ramps and off-ramps aligned with CARF standards, according to the OECD and The Economic Times.

According to dYdX Foundation on X and the linked dYdX governance forum post and Mintscan proposal page (Proposal 343), an on-chain vote has been created asking whether the community should approve reducing subticks per tick (and therefore tick size) for selected CLOB trading pairs, using current on-chain/indexer values as the baseline, with voting scheduled to end on Feb 6, 2026 at 19:06 UTC.

Quantitative Tightening Risk: LCLoR Danger Zone Could Trigger Repo Spike and 2019-Style Liquidity Shock
According to @BinanceResearch, if bank reserves fall below the regulatory lowest comfortable level of reserves (LCLoR), banks pull back lending, which drives repo rates sharply higher. According to @BinanceResearch, aggressive quantitative tightening now elevates the risk of a 2019-style repo dislocation or a broader liquidity crash, so traders should monitor reserves versus LCLoR and repo rates as early stress indicators.

AI and Robotics Outshine Blockchain: Crypto VC Retreat Signals Liquidity Risks and Trading Headwinds
According to @LexSokolin, venture capital attention has rotated from blockchain toward AI and robotics, reframing many crypto projects as exit-liquidity driven rather than utility-focused (source: @LexSokolin on X). According to @LexSokolin, crypto VC fundraising and LP commitments remain weak with some firms pivoting away, implying reduced funding support for token-led experiments (source: @LexSokolin on X). According to @LexSokolin, traders should anticipate thinner venture-backed narratives, slower token launch pipelines, and pressure on illiquid altcoins until projects show real-world adoption (source: @LexSokolin on X). According to @LexSokolin, recovery paths favor valuable tokens tied to practical web2 businesses over repetitive DeFi or perps DEX clones (source: @LexSokolin on X).

Bitcoin BTC Trader Alert: On-Chain Liquidity Gap 70k to 80k, Strong Support 58k to 69k Near 200-Week MA

Memecoin Market Plunges to $31.9B: Flap Token Creations Surge While four.meme Leads BNB Chain TVL — DeFiLlama and Dune Analytics Signals for Traders
According to @ai_9684xtpa, the memecoin sector has pulled back sharply with total capitalization shrinking to $31.9B amid a broad selloff, signaling weaker risk appetite across speculative assets; source: author’s X post. For the BSC memecoin segment, DeFiLlama data indicates four.meme remains the clear leader by TVL, 7-day fees, and 7-day revenue, though each metric has edged lower in line with the downturn; source: DeFiLlama. Dune Analytics (fourmeme/four-vs-pump-90d) shows Flap’s token creations surged from Jan 16, hitting a single-day peak of 9,644 on Jan 30, while internal trading volumes did not keep pace, highlighting poor conversion from launches to activity; source: Dune Analytics. The same Dune series shows TVL on Flap began to decline from Jan 29, implying the spike in token launches did not translate into sustained liquidity inflows; source: Dune Analytics. In contrast, four.meme exhibited fewer token creations but comparatively healthier trading volume conversion, pointing to stronger user engagement quality; source: Dune Analytics. Trading takeaway: in the BNB Chain memecoin niche, prioritize venues with resilient TVL, 7-day fee capture, and volume over raw token launch counts, and monitor liquidity and fee metrics for sustainable flows; sources: DeFiLlama; Dune Analytics.

Ethereum ETH Whale Deposited 156,185 ETH Worth 370M Dollars; Latest Withdrawal Not Confirmed as Accumulation
