Gate.io News Bot Message, January 17, 2026, according to CoinMarketCap market data, the overall cryptocurrency market is showing a correction trend. The privacy coin sector is facing profit-taking pressure, and some mid-cap tokens have also experienced significant pullbacks. The following are the top five cryptocurrencies with the largest declines in the past 24 hours:
1️⃣ XMR (Monero)
📉 Current Price: $626.25 | Decline: -9.32%
📊 24H High/Low: $717.69 / $612.02 | Market Cap: $11.552 billion
⚠️ Monero experienced a profit-taking wave after reaching a new all-time high earlier, with a short-term market cap evaporation of about $2.1 billion. Funds in the privacy coin sector are rotating more rapidly, some traders are starting to sell at high levels, leverage short positions are increasing, and short-term volatility has significantly amplified.
2️⃣ ICP (Internet Computer)
📉 Current Price: $4.09 | Decline: -9.24%
📊 24H High/Low: $4.68 / $4.07 | Market Cap: $2.243 billion
⚠️ ICP surged nearly 45% earlier due to the inflation reduction plan in the MISSION70 white paper, but the short-term gains attracted profit-taking. Although exchange supply has decreased, the profit-taking pressure at high levels remains significant, and the correction is a normal technical adjustment.
3️⃣ CC (Canton)
📉 Current Price: $0.12 | Decline: -6.52%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.13 / $0.12 | Market Cap: $4.686 billion
⚠️ Canton recently gained institutional attention due to JPM Coin’s launch by JPMorgan, but the short-term rally has pulled back. Market expectations for the implementation of institutional-grade applications have been partially realized, and technical signs indicate a short-term adjustment.
4️⃣ MORPHO (Morpho)
📉 Current Price: $1.34 | Decline: -2.36%
📊 24H High/Low: $1.38 / $1.34 | Market Cap: $509 million
⚠️ Morpho’s market concerns about operational transparency have arisen after the official announcement that its Discord server will switch to read-only mode on February 1 and related security upgrades, leading to a short-term technical correction.
5️⃣ LDO (Lido DAO)
📉 Current Price: $0.603 | Decline: -1.87%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.61 / $0.59 | Market Cap: $511 million
⚠️ As a mainstream staking ecosystem token, Lido DAO’s decline is relatively mild, reflecting the overall risk sentiment in the market being somewhat cautious. The Ethereum ecosystem remains resilient amid macro adjustments, but funds still exhibit cautious attitudes.
📉 Market Summary: Today’s crypto market shows a differentiated correction. The privacy coin sector faces profit-taking due to previous gains, and innovative low-market-cap projects like ICP are also experiencing technical pullbacks. Signs of liquidity tightening still exist across the market. Investors are advised to observe cautiously, avoid chasing high during volatile periods, and focus on key support levels to prevent breakdown risks.

Whenever the market enters a confusing phase of going nowhere, people try to use a "cutting the boat to seek the sword" method of historical retrospection to predict the next market movement. In such cases, people often see from these theories and charts that history always repeats itself, and seem to automatically overlay and verify future price movements with a certain period in the past.

DeFi enters a "winter of yields": liquidity stagnation, leverage contraction, and the disappearance of arbitrage opportunities
The DeFi market entered an "interest rate winter" since September 2025, with deposit rates for major stablecoins declining sharply and supply-demand imbalances causing liquidity congestion. The rate decline reflects reduced capital demand and a lack of high-return opportunities. Stablecoin lending demand has dropped significantly, with market risk appetite shifting toward more stable investment channels.
