**Crypto Liquidation Alert: Ethereum’s Key Levels Tie to Massive CEX Liquidations** As of January 2nd, Coinglass data shows: - If Ethereum breaks above $3100, mainstream centralized exchanges (CEXs) could face **$629 million in cumulative short liquidations**. - Conversely, a drop below $2900 would trigger **$972 million in cumulative long liquidations**. **BlockBeats Note**: Liquidation charts do NOT show exact contract counts or values. Instead, bars reflect how a liquidation cluster ranks in importance relative to nearby clusters (i.e., its "strength"). This means the chart signals how strongly a price level will react when hit: A taller "liquidation bar" indicates a more intense liquidity cascade (and price response) at that level.

On January 2, 2027, the OECD’s Cryptocurrency Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) will officially go into effect. Before that, starting January 1, 2026, the first group of 48 countries has required local crypto service providers to begin collecting users’ crypto wallet and transaction data to prepare for future international tax information sharing. Per the OECD, organizations taking part in data collection include centralized exchanges, some decentralized platforms, crypto ATMs, and brokers. CARF’s core goal is to boost tax transparency, fight cross-border tax evasion and money laundering, and make sure taxpayers meet their tax obligations regardless of where they trade crypto. Along with the initial 48 countries, 27 more jurisdictions (including Australia, Canada, Switzerland, and others) will start collecting data in 2027 and join the information sharing system in 2028. While CARF is officially intended for tax purposes, industry insiders note that the collected data could lat

On January 2nd, Solana reported record real-world asset (RWA) tokenization activity heading into 2026, building on momentum from late 2025. December data shows Solana’s on-chain RWA value grew nearly 10% month-over-month to a new high of $873 million, while the number of RWA holders rose 18.4% to 126,000. Solana’s RWA ecosystem is currently dominated by U.S. Treasury-like assets: BlackRock’s $255 million BUIDL Fund and Ondo’s $176 million USD Yield Product lead the pack. Tokenized stocks (Tesla, NVIDIA) and institutional funds are also ramping up on the chain. The network is on track to become the third public blockchain to top $1 billion in RWA value, trailing only Ethereum (≈$12.3 billion) and BNB Chain (over $2 billion). Bitwise recently noted that passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act (a crypto market structure bill) in 2026 could supercharge the tokenization wave—with Solana poised to be a top beneficiary. Though SOL has pulled back from its all-time high, a spot Solana ETF
