AscendEX Web3 Weekly | January 5–11, 2026

By AscendEX Jan 12,2026

1. Editor's Note [Personal View] The Geopolitical "Gray Swan" and the Institutional Great Rotation The week of January 5th to 11th has been the most dramatic start to 2026 imaginable.

Bitcoin, after failing to breach $93,000 early in the week, is now entrenched in a war of attrition around the $90,000 level.The most critical signal this week is not
