Whale Pulls 32,395 ETH ($103.75M) From Binance After 45M USDT Leverage: stETH Accumulation via Aave
According to @lookonchain, wallet 0x81d0 withdrew 10,057 ETH (~$33.68M) from Binance, staked via Lido for stETH, deposited stETH to Aave, borrowed 45M USDT, bought 13,461 additional stETH, and redeposited the stETH to Aave. According to @lookonchain, the same whale then withdrew another 32,395 ETH (~$103.75M) from Binance. According to Aave documentation, large USDT borrowing increases market utilization and raises variable borrow rates as utilization rises, making USDT funding costlier when heavy leverage is deployed. According to Lido and Curve Finance documentation, sustained buying and depositing of stETH can shift stETH-ETH pool balances in secondary markets, which affects the observed exchange rate between stETH and ETH. According to @lookonchain, the DeBank profile linked in the post enables traders to monitor this address’s subsequent on-chain actions for potential market catalysts.

Vitalik Buterin Backs Native Rollups: ETH L2 Outlook on zkEVM vs Optimistic Mode 2026 Update
According to @VitalikButerin, he is now more in favor of native rollups than before, signaling a shift in his view on Ethereum L2 architecture, source: @VitalikButerin, X post, Jan 19, 2026. He states that a native rollup precompile must run in either zk mode or optimistic mode, and that earlier ZK-EVMs were too immature for zk mode, which was a key reason for his prior opposition, source: @VitalikButerin, X post, Jan 19, 2026. For traders, this highlights Ethereum attention on native rollup precompiles and the zk versus optimistic design choice that L2 builders must account for when building on ETH, source: @VitalikButerin, X post, Jan 19, 2026.

Trump Says Building a 'New York Stock Exchange' in Dallas Is Bad for New York: Market Implications for ICE Stock and Texas Crypto (BTC) Miners in 2026
According to @KobeissiLetter, President Trump said that building a 'New York Stock Exchange' in Dallas is an unbelievably bad thing for New York in a video posted on January 19, 2026 (source: The Kobeissi Letter tweet, Jan 19, 2026). The tweet provides no confirmation from the New York Stock Exchange or Intercontinental Exchange regarding any Dallas build-out, only the quoted remark (source: The Kobeissi Letter tweet, Jan 19, 2026). Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) owns the New York Stock Exchange, making ICE the listed equity most directly tied to any NYSE infrastructure decisions (source: Intercontinental Exchange company information). NYSE’s equity matching engines and colocation services are centered in Mahwah, New Jersey, highlighting the operational importance of any location discussion for trading latency and colocation-related revenues (source: NYSE technology and colocation documentation and fee schedules).
