Latest Crypto NewsJanuary 26, 2026

At least seven people have died as a fierce winter storm sweeps across the US, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, schools and roads closed, and flights cancelled.

Twenty-six states, from Texas to Massachusetts, were under storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service over the weekend, with many alerts remaining in place this week.

Widespread intense cold is spreading southwards, with lows of -20C in parts of Texas.
