#GoldPrintsNewATH
Hey everyone, happy 2026!
We're starting the new year strong – Bitcoin has climbed back above $90,000, currently around $90,100 with decent gains today. Ethereum is steady above $3,100, and the total crypto market cap is sitting near $3.1 trillion after a solid recovery.
Institutional flows are picking up again: On January 2 alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $471 million in net inflows, with BlackRock and others leading the way. Ethereum ETFs brought in around $174 million as well. This follows some outflows late in 2025, but it looks like demand is rebounding heading into the year.
The bull cycle feels like it still has plenty of room to run – with strong ETF interest, potential rate cuts ahead, and broader adoption, I'm bullish that we're early in this phase. Patience is key in crypto; holding through volatility has always paid off.

Kodiak ($KDK): Berachain's Native Liquidity Giant and Gate Launchpad's New Star
Gate 5th Launchpad project, Kodiak (KDK), has completed its subscription process, and the numbers are incredible: it saw massive demand with a total of 90.5M+ USDT and 55.7M+ GUSD commitments! This clearly demonstrates the project's true potential and the community's confidence. Such high participation for the 3M KDK allocation makes me expect healthy price discovery after the listing.
Why is KDK So Special?
The Heart of the Berachain Ecosystem: Kodiak is the only DeFi platform supported by the Build-a-Bera program. It's a fully integrated liquidity hub with Spot DEX, Perp DEX, automated liquidity vaults (Islands), no-code token launchpad (Panda Factory), and Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) integration. 100% Unlock Distribution: No long-term vesting, instant full access – this means capital efficiency for early participants.
Dual Participation Option: Participate with GUSD alongside USDT (RWA-backed stable asset providing ~4% daily return).
Low FDV, High Potential: Entry with 35M FDV, Berachain's strong position as a liquidity and governance token as it grows.
My Personal Price Analysis and Expectation: Launchpad price is 0.35 USDT. Considering such high oversubscription (demand tens of times the allocation), I expect a strong upward momentum in the short term after the listing on December 23, 2025. Berachain's PoL mechanism and Kodiak's dominant DEX position (90%+ market share on the testnet), along with ecosystem news, will support a sustainable rise.
Short term: A quick wick to the $1-2 range is possible (3x-6x potential).
In the medium to long term: With the Berachain mainnet hype and Kodiak's revenue-generating leadership, $5+ levels seem realistic. Patience is key – utility will win, not hype!
🎁 Gate Square Event: Opportunity to Earn Without Staking! This event is great because we can directly earn rewards by sharing information and analysis. A total pool of 2,000 KDK (1,400 KDK, 200 each for the top 5, 40 each for the top 15) – the perfect time to aim for the top with original content.

Share on Gate Square now, quality analyses stand out!
My opinion: KDK is not just an ordinary Launchpad token; it's the infrastructure carrier of Berachain. Gate's choice of this project is no coincidence – an asymmetrical opportunity for those with a long-term vision. In your opinion, at what price will KDK first hit after listing? What are your thoughts on the Berachain ecosystem? Let's discuss in the comments; perhaps together we can conduct a deeper analysis!
