News Brief
According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin-related panic chatter across social platforms has surged to levels not seen since 2026, while overall market sentiment has plunged to its weakest point since last November—a dramatic swing from cautious optimism to outright fear. Should macroeconomic turbulence persist or Bitcoin fail to recapture the critical price thresholds traders are monitoring, analysts believe this panic could linger for several days, prolonging near-term volatility. Currently, markets are in full risk-off mode, with equities and precious metals retreating following recent gains. Tightening cross-asset liquidity and unwinding of leveraged trades will likely continue pressuring crypto assets. However, when sentiment crashes this severely, we're often approaching capitulation—the point where institutional investors typically swoop in to accumulate as retail holders panic-sell. If Bitcoin's price manages to stabilize gradually, this pessimistic atmosphere could reverse swiftly, potentially triggering a strong rebound.
PANews reported on January 31st that, according to CoinDesk, on-chain data analytics platform Santiment pointed out that the proportion of panic discussions about Bitcoin on social media has risen to its highest level since 2026, while market sentiment indicators have fallen to their lowest point since November last year, with the overall atmosphere shifting from cautious to clearly panicked. The analysis indicates that if macro market volatility continues, or if Bitcoin fails to recover key price levels watched by traders, the panic could persist for several days, and the short-term trend may remain volatile. The current market is in a de-risking phase, with stocks and precious metals experiencing corrections after previous gains. The contraction of cross-market liquidity and the cooling of leveraged funds may also continue to affect the cryptocurrency market. However, a sharp deterioration in sentiment often approaches a phase of "capitulation selling," where long-term funds typically choose to buy at lower levels as retail investors exit under pressure. If the price of Bitcoin gradually stabilizes, the current pessimistic sentiment could quickly reverse and drive subsequent buying back in.

BDACS Launches KRW1 Stablecoin Backed by the Won
The post BDACS Launches KRW1 Stablecoin Backed by the Won appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BDACS Launches KRW1 Stablecoin Backed by South Korean Won Custody service provider BDACS has launched KRW1, a new stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the South Korean won (KRW). The regulated custodian focuses on institutional clients and offers services including crypto asset custody and transaction infrastructure supporting multiple blockchains. The KRW1 project recently completed its proof-of-concept (PoC) phase, with the stablecoin launching on the Avalanche blockchain. Each KRW1 token is fully backed by fiat currency, with reserves held at Woori Bank, one of South Korea’s largest financial institutions. Transparency and Platform Features BDACS emphasizes full transparency: holders can monitor reserves in real time via banking API integration, although no dedicated portal is currently available. According to the press release, “The KRW1 launch goes far beyond token issuance. BDACS has developed a comprehensive platform, including issuance and governance systems, as well as a user application supporting peer-to-peer transfers and transaction verification.” The stablecoin is positioned for global use, with potential expansion through new network integrations and collaborations with dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC and USDT. BDACS also plans to integrate KRW1 into government initiatives, though negotiations or official involvement have not been confirmed. Current Status and Market Outlook KRW1 remains in the concept stage and is not yet publicly traded or available to retail consumers, as South Korea currently lacks a stablecoin framework. However, the launch is reportedly supported by the country’s new president, Lee Je-moon. In related news, Kakao is also reportedly considering a won-pegged stablecoin, highlighting growing interest in this emerging asset class.
