Recently, many cryptocurrencies in the market have new developments. Let's review them one by one.

Starting with some positive catalysts. Virtuals has integrated the Agent launch process into three standardized templates—Pegasus, Unicorn, Titan—essentially standardizing the "how to issue tokens, how to operate, how to expand" process. For project teams, this significantly lowers the barrier to entry. The entire ecosystem is beginning to feel like an assembly line, no longer operating in isolation.

Lighter is focused on real on-chain operations. The protocol directly repurchases LIT using funds, and this genuine buyback has a very direct market response—token price surged approximately 14%. This isn't just pure emotional hype; it's a catalyst supported by fundamentals.

Pear Protocol is currently voting to adjust its revenue distribution model: 70% weekly for buybacks, 30% into the treasury. If approved, this would upgrade the buyback from a temporary measure to a long-term mechanism, which is a positive signal for the long-term price trend.

Jupiter's approach is somewhat opposite. They are discussing suspending JUP buybacks and reallocating those funds toward growth initiatives—subsidies, activities, user incentives, etc. They also launched a campaign with a scale of $1 million, extending the cycle to 2026, clearly betting on user growth.

TRON has positive news on the application side. Media reports indicate TRON DAO plans to integrate with Kalshi, allowing TRX and USDT to serve as on-chain liquidity entry points for prediction markets. In simple terms, this provides new real-use scenarios for assets within the TRON ecosystem.

However, attention should also be paid to unlocking risks. Aptos has 11.31 million tokens unlocking on January 11; Linea's unlock on January 10 accounts for about 8% of the current circulating supply; TRUMP will unlock 50 million tokens on January 18. These could potentially create short-term selling pressure, so caution is advised.
