Cryptocurrencies ended the week of January 12-16 with growth after strong movement in the middle of the period and a subsequent correction on news of a delay in the discussion of a key bill on market regulation in the US.
Bitcoin rose by about 5% over the week: on January 12, it traded at around $90,800, and on January 16, at around $95,400, with prices briefly rising above $97,000 in the middle of the week.
Ethereum added about 7% over the same period, from around $3,090 (January 12) to $3,310 (January 16).
According to CoinGecko, the total capitalization of the crypto market as of January 16 is around $3.318 trillion, with a daily trading volume of around $123.8 billion. Bitcoin's share is estimated at approximately 57.5%, while Ethereum's is around 12%.
Investors' focus has shifted back to flows into exchange-traded funds for crypto assets. A number of reviews noted significant inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, including a day with inflows of approximately $843.6 million (January 14), as well as a total of approximately $1.7 billion over several trading sessions amid BTC's rise to $97,000.
The correction at the end of the week was accompanied by news of a pause around the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act: Senate hearings/advancement were postponed after Coinbase publicly withdrew its support for the bill due to controversial provisions, including restrictions on yield payments for stablecoins.
At the same time, reports that South Korea is moving to lift long-standing restrictions on corporate investment in crypto assets as part of new regulatory approaches provided a positive backdrop for the “institutional” agenda.
DefiLlama estimates the total TVL of DeFi at around $129 billion, and the capitalization of stablecoins at approximately $310.7 billion. CoinGecko also records stablecoins at around $313 billion, which corresponds to approximately 9.4% of the total capitalization of the crypto market.
The week was mixed for the “big” altcoins: XRP remained around $2.07 until January 16, showing almost zero dynamics compared to the beginning of the week. Solana traded near $142 per coin until January 16.
The key triggers for the market remain the pace of inflows into crypto ETFs and the US regulatory discussion calendar, while investors will focus on Bitcoin's reaction near its recent highs of around $97,000.
