Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has confirmed plans to launch a blockchain-based digital token reward system for its shareholders, sending ripples through the cryptocurrency market. The initiative centers on a new "DJT" token, which would be distributed on a one-to-one basis to existing investors, granting one digital token for every share of DJT stock owned. The token is being developed in collaboration with the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. The company emphasized the model is designed as a direct on-chain rewards system rather than a speculative token issuance, though a final rollout timeline has not been announced.

Amid this development and a broader market lull, the AI-powered cryptocurrency project DeepSnitch AI is gaining significant attention. The project has officially raised over $1 million during its Stage 3 presale, with the token price currently at $0.03142, a sharp increase from its initial price of $0.01510. The platform, which is still in presale, features a suite of five AI agents designed to provide real-time on-chain intelligence to traders. Three agents—SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT—are already live and feeding data into a unified dashboard.

The broader crypto market is experiencing notably low trading volumes. Reports indicate that on December 30th, trading volumes for Bitcoin and altcoins hit their lowest two-week levels of 2025, with activity on major networks dropping by over 50% compared to previous holiday cycles. This low-liquidity environment is making markets more vulnerable to sharp price movements.

Other major cryptocurrencies showed mixed performance in the reported period. Ethereum (ETH) recorded a modest 2% gain between December 26 and January 1, climbing from near $2,915 to approximately $2,983, but remained below the key $3,000 psychological level. Dogecoin (DOGE) declined roughly 5% in the same period, falling from about $0.126 to $0.120. Solana (SOL) was trading around $123 on December 31st, with analysts noting it must defend the $118 support level to maintain positive momentum. Shiba Inu (SHIB) was priced around $0.000007079, having dropped 11.9% over the past month, though its token burn rate spiked by 75.56% on the final day of the year.

DeepSnitch AI is promoting limited-time bonus offers for large presale purchases, including a 50% bonus for buys over $2,000 and a 100% bonus for buys over $5,000, which are set to expire soon. The project's public launch is targeted for the end of January 2026.
