Hello and welcome to your crypto update from yesterday, the 27th of January 2026.
Crypto update one—A fresh take on the Market by Tom Lee
As you know, these last few weeks have been a wild ride in the markets, but one voice is cutting through the noise with some serious conviction.
Tom Lee from Fundstrat Global Advisors is holding on to the belief that a rebound might be just around the corner, especially once gold and silver finally catch their breath after this massive run.
On CNBC’s Power Lunch Monday, Lee said with the U.S. dollar softening and the Fed looking set to ease up, the setup screams good things for digital assets.

“When gold and silver take a break,” Lee pointed out, “history shows that often sparks a surge in Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
Crypto update two—Hyperliquid quietly snags the Liquidity crown
Over at Hyperliquid, they’re straight-up celebrating the fact that they’ve quietly overtaken the big centralized players to become the most liquid spot for crypto price discovery worldwide.
Co-founder Jeff Yan lit up X on January 27, 2026, to note that Hyperliquid has “quietly” pulled off what plenty thought was impossible for a DEX.
He also shared side-by-side screenshots stacking their Bitcoin perpetual futures liquidity against Binance’s and the visuals make a strong case.
Crypto update three – Russia Hits WhiteBIT with “Undesirable” Tag
In geopolitical drama news, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office just branded WhiteBIT an “undesirable organization.” They say the exchange has been funneling financial and tech support to Ukraine-linked causes, including direct fundraising for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
That label shuts everything down in Russia with no operations, no services, nada. Anyone still dealing with WhiteBIT risks heavy fines or worse.
WhiteBIT has already been out of the Russian market since 2022 anyway, so they’re brushing it off as more noise than impact, but it’s another reminder of how fast politics can slam doors in crypto.
Crypto update Four: 149 Million Stolen Credentials Exposed
Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler just uncovered a nightmare sitting wide open online: an unsecured database packed with nearly 149 million stolen usernames and passwords.
We’re talking 96GB of raw credential data ripped from malware-infected devices and everything from Facebook and Instagram to Netflix, TikTok, and yes, Binance.
At least 420,000 of those logins tie back to Binance accounts. Fowler flagged it through ExpressVPN; the host yanked it offline quick, but the damage potential is huge.
There you have it. A quick, punchy crypto update to keep you in the loop without the fluff.
