Hack VC was also met with a backlash in the community when it released its 2025 achievements review, which KOL Mosi pointed out contained more than ten projects it invested in that had gone dead over 80%, including MOVE, BERA, EIGEN, and SOON tokens in recent years..
4. U.S. Consumer Confidence Ticks Up in January

The U.S. employment growth slowed in December, with payrolls increasing 50,000, coming below expectations, and unemployment fell to 4.4%. Revisions reduced the previous gains, and 2025 hiring was, on average, 4 times less than in 2024.
The cryptocurrency markets weakened slightly on 10 January compared to 9 January, with total capitalization easing from $3.19T to $3.18T and losses narrowing from 0.6% to 0.5%.
Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced further price drops on January 10, whereas altcoins were more volatile, with more successful rallies of specific trending tokens but overall downward pressure.
Users of cryptos must anticipate further volatility and sharp price changes in major and trending tokens. High fear implies conservative positioning, reduced holding time, and monitoring macroeconomic and exchange-related events more closely before making trading decisions.
