Fear and Greed Index stayed in fear territory
Data from Alternative Me placed the Crypto Fear and Greed Index at 32, still in the “fear” zone and below the previous day’s reading of 44. Even so, that level was above last week’s 26 and last month’s “extreme fear” reading of 20. The sequence suggests that panic had eased from earlier lows, though market sentiment had not fully turned positive.
Tokenized gold, mining policy and institutional buying stayed in focus
News flow remained active. Tokenized gold continued to expand in 2026, with the combined market cap of Tether Gold and Paxos Gold reaching $4.48 billion, up 18%. Transfer volume jumped 61%, and active addresses were close to 30,000 this month. On-chain analyst Specter warned that TroveMarkets launched at a $20 million valuation, added limited liquidity, unlocked millions of tokens, and then saw new wallets quickly sell TROVE, drawing scam concerns.
On the policy side, a deputy in Russia’s State Duma proposed fines for illegal crypto mining covering individuals, officials and companies, with steeper penalties for repeat violations. In Venezuela, the local price of USDT has fallen about 40% since January 7, sliding from 880 bolívares to near 500 bolívares. In institutional news, Grant Cardone said Cardone Capital would invest another $10 million in Bitcoin as part of its real estate and BTC strategy.
