Telegram begins 2026 with mixed financial results. The messaging service records 870 million dollars in revenue in the first half of 2025 and targets 2 billion dollars for the year.

While bitcoin remains above $89,000 at the start of 2026, many analysts claim that whales are beginning a powerful accumulation movement. A signal perceived by some as the prelude to a new bull run. However, behind this optimistic reading, on-chain data tells a very different story. Far from a massive return of large holders, the current market dynamic seems driven by other actors, much more discreet… and probably more decisive for what comes next.

The supply of XRP on exchange platforms has fallen to its lowest level in eight years. This liquidity contraction coincides with a massive disengagement of short-term investors and a retreat to custody solutions. Thus, the prospect of a rally in 2026 reemerges, without a clear consensus.

While the market watches the price of crypto, another indicator emerges. Ethereum recorded a record 8.7 million smart contracts deployed in the fourth quarter, according to Token Terminal. This peak in activity, reached despite a price drop, confirms the strength of network usage. Far from cyclical effects, the on-chain dynamics outline a discreet but structuring underlying trend.

On December 28, Uniswap carried out the destruction of 100 million UNI tokens, worth nearly 596 million dollars. This decision, validated by a massive community vote, marks the entry into force of a new economic framework called "UNIfication."

Uniswap thus initiates a new phase of its evolution, focused on active management of the value created.
