Gate Research Institute: Solana ETF Achieves Largest Single-Day Net Inflow | Giza's AI Agent Asset Management Scale Exceeds $40 Million

Cryptocurrency Market Overview

• BTC (+1.17% | Current price 93,921 USDT): The daily chart indicates that Bitcoin has broken above the mid- to long-term downtrend channel. The MACD green bars continue to rise, and RSI is moving higher, releasing a somewhat positive technical signal, suggesting room for further upward movement. Currently, BTC is testing the resistance at around 93,400 USD, a level that coincides with a previous high-volume trading zone. If this level is broken effectively, it could open up space to reach the 100,000 USD mark. The liquidation heatmap shows that recent major liquidation zones are concentrated below the current price, especially in the 85,000–87,000 USD range, indicating that leveraged long positions are relatively concentrated. In contrast, liquidity above is more dispersed, implying that before a sustained rally, some time is needed for momentum to build. The recent slow upward movement has cleared some short-term shorts, but overall momentum remains insufficient. From a structural perspective, the market still requires volatility expansion and directional momentum to confirm the validity of a breakout. Until then, the current movement should be viewed as a tentative upward test rather than the official start of a new trend.
• ETH (+1.52% | Current price 3,230 USDT): Ethereum is currently in a consolidation phase near a critical technical level, with short-term trends providing strong indications for future direction. On the daily chart, the price has slightly broken out of the descending channel that has dominated for months. The recent rebound pushed the price near the channel’s upper boundary. However, this breakout has not been accompanied by significant volume expansion or trend continuation, suggesting it is more of a rebound correction rather than a trend reversal. Based solely on the current consolidation, the continuation of the upward trend cannot be confirmed. Focus should be on the 3,400 USD wedge upper boundary, where an effective breakout and retest would be needed to confirm a genuine recovery of upward momentum.
• Altcoins: Over the past 24 hours, altcoins generally rose, with XRP surging 11.25% and SOL increasing 1.26%. The altcoin season index stands at 27, indicating that market risk appetite is still recovering from lows.
• Macro: On January 5, the S&P 500 rose 0.64% to 6,902.05 points; the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 1.53% to 48,977.18 points; the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.69% to 23,395.82 points. As of 11:00 AM UTC+8 on January 6, spot gold is priced at $4,462 per ounce, up 0.40% within 24 hours.

Hot Tokens to Watch

( DUSK DUSK Network (+19.27%, Market Cap $29.39 million)

According to Gate data, the DUSK token is currently priced at $0.05823, up 19.27% in 24 hours. Dusk Network is a decentralized blockchain protocol providing privacy and transparency solutions for payments, communications, and asset transfers. It differs from PoW/PoS consensus mechanisms by introducing a new privacy-focused consensus protocol—Byzantine Agreement (SBA).

The rise in Dusk’s price reflects positive factors from the DuskDS Layer-1 upgrade. On December 10, 2025, Dusk completed the DuskDS network upgrade, enhancing data availability and performance, preparing for the upcoming DuskEVM mainnet. Node operators need to update their software, indicating that EVM compatibility is imminent. This upgrade reduces the execution risk for developers and institutions building applications on Dusk, directly increasing demand for the DUSK token on the network.

) SOMI Somnia (+17.80%, Market Cap $47.82 million)

According to Gate data, the SOMI token is currently priced at $0.2997, up 17.80% in 24 hours. Somnia is an L1 blockchain and a cross-chain protocol connecting the metaverse, creating a new, open, unified virtual society. It offers developers the ability to create portable and re-mixable content by upgrading existing NFTs.

The main reason for SOMI’s rise is its listing on an exchange. SOMI was listed in December, expanding its coverage in the Asian market. The turnover rate increased to 0.37, indicating improved liquidity. Listing helps reduce slippage for large trades and attracts algorithmic traders, but also makes profit-taking easier. While long-term benefits are evident, the current 16.02% circulating supply unlock poses some risk of volatility.

PRCL Parcl (+84.09%, Market Cap $18.02 million)

According to Gate data, the PRCL token is currently priced at $0.04005, up 84.09% in 24 hours. Parcl is the first decentralized real estate-focused exchange, allowing users to leverage and trade long and short positions on real-world property market prices.

The surge in PRCL is mainly due to its partnership with Polymarket. On January 5, Parcl announced a collaboration with the prediction market giant Polymarket to launch a real estate prediction market based on the Parcl housing price index. This partnership positions PRCL as a key data provider in the crypto prediction market space. It further confirms Parcl’s role as a bridge between RWA and cryptocurrencies, a topic gaining attention in 2026. As traders use Parcl indices to bet on US real estate trends, demand for PRCL may increase.

Alpha Insights

Ethereum’s leverage on centralized exchanges has reached a nearly one-year high

Comparing Ethereum’s estimated leverage on exchanges with its price trend, overall leverage shows oscillating upward momentum, recently reaching a phased high of about 0.76, with the price also rebounding to around 3,100 USD.

Currently, Ethereum’s leverage level on centralized exchanges is near a one-year high. This rapid increase reflects traders’ heightened risk appetite and confidence, but also objectively increases market fragility. Price rises coupled with leverage expansion typically indicate ample futures market liquidity and a bullish bias. However, this state is not stable; once sentiment shifts or prices stagnate, high-leverage positions can quickly turn into downward pressure. Historical experience shows that after leverage reaches high levels, markets often undergo corrections or increased volatility to clear over-leveraged positions.

Solana spot ETF net inflow of $16.8 million, the largest single-day inflow since listing

On January 6, according to Farside monitoring, Solana’s spot ETF saw a net inflow of $16.8 million, the largest single-day inflow since its public listing, with total net inflow reaching $791 million. Yesterday, Bitwise’s BSOL net inflow was $12.5 million, and Fidelity’s FSOL net inflow was $2 million.

The record-breaking inflow into Solana’s spot ETF reflects growing institutional recognition of Solana as an asset class, especially as major firms like Bitwise and Fidelity continue to allocate funds. Since its listing at the end of October, the ETF has attracted nearly $800 million in less than three months, a substantial scale indicating persistent demand despite Solana’s regulatory clarity still lagging behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. Steady capital inflows improve Solana’s liquidity structure and provide a more solid foundation for its price performance and ecosystem development.

Giza’s AI Asset Management surpasses $40 million, up over 60% last month

On January 6, Giza, an AI project supported by the Ethereum Foundation, announced that its AI Agent asset management scale exceeded $40 million, a growth of over 60% in the past month. Giza focuses on building verifiable AI Agents infrastructure for DeFi, enabling AI Agents to autonomously perform market analysis, asset optimization, and trading strategies without human intervention, with transparency and security assured via zero-knowledge proofs.

Giza’s core innovation is using zero-knowledge proofs to address trust issues in AI applications within DeFi. This means Giza’s AI Agents can prove they follow strict, reliable models without bias or malicious manipulation, while keeping core intellectual property like model parameters private. This balances autonomy and trust, enabling large-scale, permissionless AI-managed funds. Giza’s data marks a significant milestone in turning DeFAI from theory into practice, demonstrating genuine market demand and investor willingness to pay for “Verifiable AI Finance.”
