Today, the cryptocurrency market welcomes the launch of new tokens and airdrop activities from multiple platforms, while the linkage between traditional finance and crypto continues to deepen, with corporate Bitcoin/SOL accumulation strategies advancing. Here are the main highlights for today:
Platform Launches and Airdrop Opportunities (Upcoming Launches/Airdrop Benefits)
Binance Alpha is very active
Binance Alpha will officially launch the Owlto Finance (OWL) token today (Hong Kong time January 15 at 18:00) and will simultaneously open the airdrop claiming activity. Users holding at least 241 Alpha points can participate, with a first-come, first-served basis to claim 667 OWL, which will deduct 15 points for claiming. If the reward pool is not fully distributed within the specified time, the point threshold will automatically decrease by 5 points every 5 minutes. Users must confirm their claim on the Alpha activity page within 24 hours, otherwise, it will be considered a waiver.
At the same time, Binance Alpha will also launch the Sport.Fun (FUN) token, with Alpha trading starting today. Eligible users can use points to claim the airdrop after trading opens, with more details to be announced soon.
Bitget PoolX New Round of FUN Lock-up Mining
Bitget PoolX will launch FUN today at 22:00, with a total prize pool of 8,331,000 FUN. The lock-up channel will be open until January 21 at 22:00, providing two pools:
BTC Lock-up Pool: Airdrop of 4,332,000 FUN, individual limit of 50 BTC
ETH Lock-up Pool: Airdrop of 3,999,000 FUN, individual limit of 1500 ETH
During the event, users with a net deposit that is positive will receive 5% BTC / 8% ETH financial interest coupons after the event ends; first-time participants will receive an additional 10% BTC / 15% ETH interest coupon (net deposit deadline is January 20 at 12:00).
Binance Leverage Adds United Stables (U)
Binance will add U as a borrowable asset today at 18:00 and will launch U/USDT and U/USDC full margin/isolated margin trading pairs, providing more leverage options for stablecoin-related trading.
Coin-Stock Linkage and Corporate Accumulation Dynamics
SOL Treasury Company Upexi Makes a Big Investment
SOL ecosystem treasury company Upexi has reached a $36 million convertible bond agreement with Hivemind Capital Partners to lock in SOL as support. After the transaction is completed, Upexi's SOL holdings are expected to increase by about 12%, surpassing 2.4 million, making it the second-largest corporate holder of SOL globally (after Forward Industries, which holds about 6.9 million). The transaction is conducted in a private placement format and is not publicly registered.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) Continues to Buy Bitcoin Aggressively
Strategy's latest announcement shows that it has recently increased its holdings by 13,627 Bitcoins, with a total value of about $1.25 billion, at an average purchase price of about 91,519 USDT. As of January 11, 2026, the company's total Bitcoin holdings have reached 687,410, with a total investment cost of about $51.8 billion, at an average purchase price of about 75,353 USDT. This move marks the largest single purchase this year, further solidifying its position as the largest publicly traded company holder of Bitcoin globally.
Brazilian Listed Company OranjeBTC Continues Buybacks
Brazilian listed company OranjeBTC continues its stock buyback plan in the first complete trading week of 2026, currently holding 3,722.3 Bitcoins. The company's Bitcoin yield year-to-date is 0.03%, with a cumulative yield of 2.43%.
Latest News on Ecosystem and Regulation
Solana Mobile SKR Airdrop About to Start
Solana Mobile has opened the eligibility check for the SKR airdrop, distributing nearly 2 billion SKR to the community (approximately 1.82 billion to 100,908 users and 141 million to 188 developers). Claiming will officially start on January 21 at 10:00, supporting staking for rewards after claiming. Meanwhile, Season 2 ecosystem incentives have also been launched.
Regulatory Voice: Systemic Risks of Stablecoins Need Attention

Zhao Changpeng: The Most Important Ability for On-chain Meme Players is Risk Control
Binance founder Zhao Changpeng candidly stated in response to user questions that for on-chain meme players, the most important ability to survive long-term is "risk control."
Coinbase Withdraws Support for Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced the withdrawal of support for the current version of the cryptocurrency market structure bill, stating that the draft has "too many issues," including effectively banning tokenized stocks, restricting DeFi, weakening CFTC powers, and eliminating stablecoin reward mechanisms, preferring no bill over a bad one.
New York Prosecutor Pushes for Stricter Crypto Regulation
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg urged New York state legislators to classify unlicensed crypto businesses as criminal offenses and strengthen law enforcement tools to combat crypto-related crimes, specifically naming the issue of unlicensed crypto ATMs. If passed, New York will become the 19th state in the U.S. to criminalize such behavior.
Today's market shows a dual-driven pattern of "new platform tokens + corporate accumulation," with airdrops and leverage launches for new tokens like OWL/FUN potentially bringing short-term trading opportunities, while the accumulation by Strategy and Upexi continues to reinforce the institutional narrative for BTC and SOL. Investors should pay attention to risk control and monitor subsequent adjustments to point thresholds and claiming details. Wishing you successful trading!
