Singer Justin Bieber lost more than $1 million due to the purchase of NFTs from the popular collection Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). In January 2022, Bieber acquired the Bored Ape #3001 token for 500 ethereums worth $1.3 million at that moment. Currently, the NFT is valued at only $12,660, so the investment turned out to be a huge loss for the artist. Additionally, Justin lost a lot by purchasing two NFTs from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club. For coins currently valued at approximately $3,000, the singer spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A cryptocurrency blogger under the pseudonym JAKE was offered $20,000 for a defamation on Binance and a lie about the dump of Aster (ASTER) coins. A user under the nickname HYPE BEAST contacted the content creator and suggested publishing a message that the head of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, is a fraud, and that the exchange is responsible for the crash of digital asset prices. Plus, he was supposed to mention the sale of Aster tokens. As a reward, the blogger was promised to transfer 20,000 USDC stablecoins (USDC), but he refused.

On Binance, you can earn 12.51% annually for holding Kуrgуz Som Stablecoin (KGST). From February 3 to March 16 inclusive, the exchange pays a bonus for deposits in KGST and additionally accrues 10% annually. Each user of the trading platform can block up to 100,000 coins worth $1,141 at the current rate. As the editorial team of Happу Coin News clarified, the deposit can be closed at any moment without losing the earned money. KGST represents a cryptocurrency pegged to the rate of the Kyrgyz som, issued by the government of Kyrgyzstan on the BNB Smart Chain blockchain. Like most other stablecoins based on fiat currencies, KGST is backed by reserves of funds held in banks, which increases its reliability and stability. Given that KGST is based on the som, its rate against the dollar does not differ in stability. However, the amplitude of fluctuations in the value of coins is not very high, and since December 24, 2025, the digital asset has risen by 3.8%. Nevertheless, in the event of a depreciation of the som, the stablecoin will also depreciate, and blocking KGST on Binance will result in losses. Economists of the Eurasian Bank consider the weakening of the Kyrgyz currency unlikely and suggest that the dollar will cost 87-90 soms in 2026 at the current rate of 87.45.

Bank of America raised its forecasts for American stocks, stating about further growth of the S&P 500 index over the next year. According to the bank's analysts, the index may show growth of approximately 12% over the next 12 months relative to the current value of the S&P 500 at 6974 points.

The Sell Side Indicator, measuring the average volume of investments in stocks recommended by Wall Street strategists, saw a slight increase in January and is currently at its most optimistic level since March 2025. Despite the fact that investment volumes remain slightly below last year's peak, the indicator continues to signal bullish trends. Meanwhile, market indicators in January reflected stability — the S&P 500 index finished the month with growth, despite a correction in the middle of the month related to geopolitical disturbances. Overall, consensus forecasts still suggest double-digit profit growth next year, while company commentaries indicate high confidence, with signs of weakening demand becoming increasingly rare.#MarketCorrection #PreciousMetalsTurbulence #StrategyBTCPurchase

January 22, the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance will conduct the listing of the stablecoin Ripple USD (RLUSD). The listing will allow users of the platform to trade it in three spot pairs, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/U, and XRP/RLUSD. Deposits in RLUSD will begin to be accepted immediately after the debut, and withdrawals will become available from January 23. The listing of RLUSD on Binance is conducted as part of a promotion with zero commission, which will last an indefinite period. This will allow the new stablecoin to compete with more well-known stablecoins, such as USDT from Tether and USDC from Circle, which together account for approximately 90% of the market for similar assets. In addition to competition for dominance with other existing leaders, the addition of RLUSD on Binance will open access to significant liquidity pools of the cryptocurrency exchange. According to experts, this will accelerate the adoption of the stablecoin as an important instrument in the infrastructure of cross-border payments by Ripple. The company Ripple launched RLUSD in December 2024, and since then the market capitalization of the stablecoin has reached $1.3 billion on 16 exchanges, including Bullish, Kraken, Bitstamp, and Gemini. Previously, the cryptocurrency was absent on the two most well-known cryptocurrency platforms Binance and Coinbase. Now Coinbase will remain the only major platform where the stablecoin is not yet represented. #Write2Earn $XRP
