Writing by: Cathy, Plain Blockchain On January 3, 2026, in the early morning, U.S. special forces arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas during a military operation codenamed "Absolute Resolve." This event has sparked a huge question in the crypto community: Does the Maduro regime really hide the rumored "shadow reserves"? According to reports from the investigative agency Whale Hunting and multiple intelligence sources, there is a shocking rumor circulating in the market: the Maduro regime may hold between 600,000 and 660,000 bitcoins. If this rumor is true, based on market prices in early 2026, the total value could reach $60-67 billion. What does this mean? MicroStrategy (now renamed Strategy), a company known as the "Bitcoin whale,"

Recent on-chain data reveals that "whales" holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have quietly increased their positions, accumulating over 56,000 Bitcoin since December 17. In contrast, retail investors are cashing out after recent gains, suggesting a familiar trend in the crypto market where smart money buys during retail sell-offs. Historically, whale accumulation alongside retail selling is seen as a bullish divergence, indicating sustained long-term confidence from institutions despite short-term volatility, potentially paving the way for sustainable growth in the crypto market.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently ordered the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, bringing to light the long-rumored "Bitcoin secret vault" of this South American country. Intelligence indicates that the Maduro regime has secretly operated for years to establish a "shadow reserve" of between 600,000 and 660,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $60 billion to $67 billion. This astonishing discovery not only elevates Venezuela to one of the top Bitcoin holders globally but also positions its holdings to rival giants like BlackRock and Strategy. The fate of this hidden treasure is bound to influence Bitcoin's supply and demand dynamics and market sentiment. According to sources cited in Whale Hunting, Venezuela's "national-level coin hoarding plan" began in 2018.

Shiba Inu has moved higher over the past week, with the SHIB price up about 15%. Most of that move has already played out, as price has barely changed over the past day. The jump came as meme coins picked up again while Bitcoin stayed steady. At the same time, SHIB’s team launched an

Solana ecosystem leader aggregator Jupiter Exchange is facing a critical crossroads in its tokenomics model. On January 4, 2026, co-founder Siong publicly questioned the effectiveness of the ongoing JUP buyback program on social media, revealing that over $70 million had been spent on buybacks in the past year, yet the token price remains nearly 89% below its all-time high, with minimal results. Meanwhile, the team announced a significant reduction in the original airdrop scale from 700 million JUP to 200 million JUP, aiming to ease market selling pressure and more accurately reward genuine users. These measures have sparked widespread discussion among industry leaders, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The market responded quickly, with whale addresses betting on the long-term value of the strategic adjustments, investing over $12 million to establish multi-asset leveraged long positions including JUP. This incident not only concerns Jupiter's future but also touches on the core issue of how current crypto projects can optimize fund utilization and balance short-term market pressures with long-term development.
