ICP2,62%

Gate.io News Bot Message, January 22, 2026, according to CoinMarketCap market data, the overall cryptocurrency market is under pressure and adjusting, with several coins experiencing varying degrees of correction. The following are the top five performers in the past 24 hours by decline:

1️⃣ IP (Story) 📉 Current Price: $2.38 | Decline: -8.06% 📊 24H High/Low: $2.58 / $2.30 | Market Cap: $833 million ⚠️ Story experienced the largest decline, mainly influenced by macro market sentiment. Related news shows Polygon Foundation advancing PIP-69 proposal, Flying Tulip project funding, and other ecosystem developments, but these have not effectively mitigated the overall market adjustment pressure.

2️⃣ NIGHT (Midnight) 📉 Current Price: $0.607 | Decline: -3.68% 📊 24H High/Low: $0.62 / $0.59 | Market Cap: $1.009 billion ⚠️ Midnight’s decline was moderate, driven by market sentiment correction. As a privacy sector token, affected by rotation within privacy coins, but the adjustment remains well-controlled.

3️⃣ DASH (Dash) 📉 Current Price: $68.02 | Decline: -1.81% 📊 24H High/Low: $72.08 / $66.17 | Market Cap: $855 million ⚠️ DASH experienced a smaller decline, correcting from a previous strong rally. Despite a gain of over 141% last week, it is now facing profit-taking pressure. However, the privacy coin sector remains hot, and Hyperliquid has launched its perpetual contracts.

4️⃣ ICP (Internet Computer) 📉 Current Price: $3.67 | Decline: -1.62% 📊 24H High/Low: $3.77 / $3.53 | Market Cap: $2.012 billion ⚠️ ICP’s decline was mild, adjusting from a recent strong rebound. Although DFINITY released the MISSION70 white paper promising to reduce inflation by 70%, which previously drove the price up, the overall market risk sentiment shifted, leading to a short-term correction.

5️⃣ M (MemeCore) 📉 Current Price: $1.62 | Decline: -1.31% 📊 24H High/Low: $1.70 / $1.58 | Market Cap: $2.049 billion ⚠️ MemeCore experienced the smallest decline, relatively resilient amid market adjustments. The new Meme category on the X platform brings new opportunities for the content ecosystem, but macro policy uncertainties (such as the US withdrawing from WHO, Federal Reserve chair nominations) and the market panic index dropping to an extreme panic level of 20 continue to exert pressure on overall sentiment.

📉 Market Adjustment Summary: The current cryptocurrency market is in an overall adjustment phase, with the panic and greed index dropping to an extreme panic level of 20. Although Trump reiterated support for cryptocurrencies at Davos and said he would sign the crypto market structure bill soon, macro uncertainties (such as Federal Reserve chair nominations, geopolitical disputes) continue to suppress risk asset performance. The privacy coin sector remains relatively hot, but profit-taking dominates the rally. Investors should closely monitor policy developments and market sentiment recovery.

⚠️ Risk Reminder: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. The current market is in an extreme panic state. Investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance and avoid chasing highs or selling lows. This message is not investment advice. Please be aware of market volatility risks when investing.
