📢 Crypto Market News – January 05, 2026
Market Overview: The "Institutional" Monday The first full trading week of 2026 has officially begun. Wall Street is back from the holidays, and the impact is immediate. The global crypto market cap has surged to $3.30 Trillion. Volume has spiked 45% compared to the weekend as institutional algorithms resume purchasing.
Bitcoin (BTC) Breaks $93,000 Bitcoin has shattered the weekend resistance, currently trading at $93,200.
Catalyst: Massive pre-market buying from US Spot ETF issuers (BlackRock, Fidelity) driving the price up.
Target: Analysts are now calling for a test of $95,000 by midweek. The "supply shock" is evident as OTC desks report a shortage of available BTC for large buyers.
- Ethereum (ETH) Outperforms Ethereum is the star of the day, rallying 5% to trade at $3,250.
The Flip: The ETH/BTC ratio is climbing rapidly. Investors are rotating profits from Bitcoin's weekend move into Ethereum, anticipating that ETH will "catch up" in valuation during Q1.
- RWA Sector Explodes (BlackRock Rumors) The Real World Asset (RWA) sector is leading the altcoin market.
News: Unconfirmed reports suggest BlackRock is finalizing a partnership to tokenize $1 Billion worth of US Treasury Bills on a public blockchain.
Movers: Ondo (ONDO) and Chainlink (LINK) are seeing double-digit gains as the infrastructure providers for this narrative.
- Macro Factor: DXY Weakness The US Dollar Index (DXY) opened the year showing weakness, dropping below 101.5. A weaker dollar traditionally boosts risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks, providing a perfect "macro tailwind" for the crypto market today.
