According to monitoring by the blockchain data platform Lookonchain, within the past 7 hours, a total of 5 wallets have deposited approximately 8.84 million LIGHT tokens into a certain centralized exchange (CEX), which is valued at about 8.2 million USD based on the price at that time. This action occurred during a period of significant fluctuation in the price of LIGHT, raising high concerns in the market regarding capital outflow and selling pressure at high levels.
Market data shows that the LIGHT Token has rapidly surged from about $1.35 to $4.75 in the past 3 days, with an astonishing short-term increase. However, after reaching the peak stage, the price quickly fell back in less than 2 hours, once dropping below the $1 mark, displaying a typical “boom and bust” trend. This extreme market condition led to a rapid liquidation of many high-leverage positions.
According to statistics, in the past 24 hours, the liquidation amount of the LIGHT Token has reached approximately 16.17 million USD, ranking only behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in the entire market, with the liquidation intensity far exceeding that of most small and medium market cap crypto assets. Relevant data indicates that the proportion of speculative funds participating in LIGHT trading is relatively high in the short term, with risks being concentrated and released.
Market analysis suggests that large wallets transferring tokens to CEX at high levels are often seen as potential sell signals. In cases of limited liquidity, concentrated selling pressure can easily trigger a price crash, amplifying the fluctuation. For investors who follow the price trends of LIGHT tokens, cryptocurrency clearing data, and altcoin risk management, this event once again reminds us that highly volatile tokens often accompany sharp corrections after rapid increases, necessitating cautious control of positions and leverage risk.

ARK Invest: Four Major Trends Are Boosting Bitcoin's Value
Author: ARK Invest
Compiled by: Felix, PANews
In the macro context of 2026, ARK Invest points out that four major trends are boosting the value of Bitcoin and believes that Bitcoin is evolving from an "optional" fringe asset into an indispensable strategic asset in institutional portfolios. Here are the details.
In 2025, Bitcoin continues to deeply integrate into the global financial system. The launch and growth of Bitcoin spot ETFs in 2024 and 2025, the inclusion of digital asset listed companies in major stock indices, and the increasing regulatory transparency are all driving Bitcoin from the fringes toward a new asset class that ARK Invest considers worthy of institutional asset allocation.
ARK Invest believes that the core theme of this cycle is the transformation of Bitcoin: from an "optional"

Can altcoins rebound in Q1 2026? Data reveals the end of the sell-off and potential turning points
February 12 News, as the first quarter of 2026 approaches its end, whether altcoins still have a rebound opportunity has become a focal point of market attention. Currently, sentiment remains weak, with most altcoins in a deep correction phase. Analytical firm Swissblock pointed out that its altcoin pulse signals show that although there are signs of slowing downward momentum, no clear reversal signals have appeared yet, and a full recovery is still unlikely in the short term.
From on-chain and price structure perspectives, since Bitcoin broke below a key threshold in mid-January, selling pressure on altcoins has significantly increased, and capital outflows have accelerated. Meanwhile, only a very few altcoins remain above the 200-day moving average, indicating that most projects are still in a downtrend channel. Technical analysis shows that a bullish signal would only be confirmed if the positive signal line crosses above the negative momentum line in the future, which could bring new bullish clues to the market.

The Triple Resonance at Bitcoin's Bottom: The Ultimate Direction of Macro, On-Chain, and Miner Economics
Author: FLAME LABS
Summary
This research report aims to comprehensively analyze the core question of the Bitcoin market in the first quarter of 2026: after experiencing a sharp retracement from the October 2025 all-time high (around $126,000) to the current range of approximately $60,000-$70,000, where exactly is the absolute bottom of this cycle? The current market is at a paradoxical crossroads: on one hand, the traditional "four-year halving cycle" theory suggests the market is still in a bear market relay, possibly requiring a cooling-off period of up to a year; on the other hand, the approval of spot ETFs, the Federal Reserve's shift in monetary policy (and the subsequent personnel changes bringing uncertainty), and the iteration of mining hardware are reshaping the underlying logic of the market.
This report abandons simple linear extrapolation and instead constructs a model that includes macro liquidity, miner survival costs (shutdown price), on-chain chips
