Sei Network has set a mid-2026 deadline to complete its SIP-3 transition from a dual Cosmos–EVM design to an EVM-only blockchain, following community approval in May. The three-phase "Sei Giga" upgrade, running from January to March, will impact holders of Cosmos-native assets on Sei, including about $1.4 million in USDC.n that must be migrated before late March 2026 to avoid potential loss of access. The overhaul also introduces EVM-based staking, disables inbound IBC transfers, and replaces Sei's native oracle with external providers.

Spot XRP ETFs reversed their brief setback: January 7 marked the first daily outflow in nearly two months with more than $40 million withdrawn, and the week still closed with $38.07 million in net inflows. The following week added $56.84 million over five straight positive sessions, while XRP slipped about 1% and traded below $2.10.

XRP is hovering around $2.0725 after an intraday low at $2.02, with buyers defending the $2.0702 area. A 2026 golden cross, where the 23‑day MA moved above the 50‑day, supports a bullish tilt. A push above $2.1126 could target $2.1837 and $2.2721, with $2.28–$2.35 and $2.70 as key resistance zones.

On January 17, Zcash (ZEC) fell 2.13% amid a broader market pullback and was changing hands near $399.52 at press time, according to CoinStats. On lower time frames, a loss of support at $399.43 could expose the $390 area. On the daily chart, a close near or under current levels may bring a $370-$380 retest, with sub-$371 risking a path toward $300 before month end.

Solana's real‑world asset TVL reached $1.12 billion, up 18.84% in 30 days, alongside 134,656 holders and $1.73 billion in monthly transfers. On January 16, U.S. Solana spot ETFs saw $2.2 million in net outflows. SOL traded at $143.72, rising 0.81% on the day and 16.1% over 30 days.

On January 17, Dogecoin fell 0.39% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap, with price near $0.1375. The hourly chart shows a false breakout at $0.1383 and could lead to a $0.1360 retest if the daily candle closes near support, per TradingView. Midterm, DOGE trades between $0.1199 and $0.1568, implying limited volatility by month end.

Dogecoin's hourly chart has printed a death cross as the 50-period moving average fell below the 200-period one, while higher time frames still show a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. DOGE trades around $0.1377 after a sharp move at $0.151 on Jan. 13, struggling to hold gains from an early 2025 surge amid cooling risk appetite and a possible range-bound phase.

Debate in the US Senate over the Clarity Act has revived attention on XRP and other token-backed exchange-traded funds, with reports indicating the bill may clarify how ETF underlying assets are treated under existing rules. Since their November 2025 debut, XRP spot ETFs have reportedly attracted about $1.37 billion in inflows, fueling community discussion about whether in-kind structures could let holders use these products in a bank-like way. Some XRP advocates argue that, once legal status is clearer, investors may treat regulated ETFs as a preferred place to park tokens while preserving access.
