© Cryptorank🚨😵💫💥 The $85K Floor: Can Bitcoin Hold Support Amid Sustained ETF Exits ⁉️
While early January 2026 saw a brief "clean slate" recovery, the latest figures suggest institutional caution is back in the driver's seat
📉 What’s happening ⁉️
⚡️Persistent Outflows: Following a massive $1.73 billion weekly exit in late January, the trend remains shaky. Even brief "green" days (like the $6.8M inflow on Jan 26) are pale compared to the billions lost in late 2025
⚡️Price Pressure: Outflows often act as a "sell signal" for the broader market, as they represent institutional de-risking

As of January 27, 2026, Bitcoin ($BTC ) is trading around $87,700 - $88,600 (With a live price of $88,300 at the time of writing) showing signs of consolidation after recent volatility. The cryptocurrency has been under pressure from macroeconomic factors, geopolitical tensions (such as U.S.-Iran issues), and market rotations away from risk assets.

ERC-20: The standard that changed crypto
When we talk about tokens on Ethereum, we are mostly referring to ERC-20. It is not just a technical specification — it is the foundation of the entire ecosystem of decentralized applications and cryptographic assets we see today.
What is ERC-20?
Essentially, it is a set of standard rules and interfaces that all tokens on the Ethereum network must follow. Thanks to this unified format, any token created according to ERC-20 works equally well with all wallets and decentralized applications. You can send tokens to any address, use them on any DEX or in any DeFi protocol, and everything will work as expected.
Why is this so important?
Before the advent of ERC-20, each project created its tokens according to its own rules. This would have led to chaos — wallets wouldn’t know how to handle different tokens, and DApps wouldn’t be able to use them. ERC-20 solved this problem through unification: all tokens operate on a single protocol, making the Ethereum ecosystem compatible and scalable.
Revolution in the crypto industry
It was thanks to the ERC-20 standard that the explosion of token economics development occurred. Initial coin offerings (ICO) were largely made possible because projects could easily and quickly create tokens without developing their own blockchain. Hundreds of startups used ERC-20 to attract investments, and today most well-known tokens adhere to this standard.
The simplicity and reliability of ERC-20 have made it the foundation upon which all modern crypto-economics are built.
