The past week (January 5 to 11) has been an exciting time in the crypto world, with multiple main themes advancing simultaneously.

Privacy coins have experienced a strong rebound. Monero hit a new all-time high, and the entire privacy coin sector is showing renewed enthusiasm. In the context of increasing on-chain privacy concerns, this surge is not surprising—markets are re-evaluating the value of privacy assets.

Fund flows have also shifted noticeably. Previously focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, funds are now moving toward Solana and Ripple, indicating that incremental capital is seeking new growth points. The stablecoin supply on Solana even reached a historic high, reflecting active ecosystem engagement.

On the other hand, the NFT market appears somewhat subdued—Paris NFT and RWA Paris2026 were both canceled due to market fatigue. However, there are bright spots in the NFT space; after Nike sold RTFKT, the Clone X series prices surged over 300%, demonstrating the continued influence of leading IPs.

Meme coins remain hot, with Pump Fun adjusting its creator fee system due to a surge in issuance volume. Additionally, gold broke through $4,610 to hit a new all-time high, and Polymarket announced an upcoming POLY airdrop.

Amid this complex landscape, the market is searching for direction—some are making huge profits, while others are wondering what they might have missed.
