A crypto asset launched after 2021-01 enters the top-5 by market capitalization at some point on or before 2024-01-13.
Prove-a-negative: to hold as 'not occurred' requires that no asset launched after Jan 2021 entered the top 5 on or before 2024-01-13. Historical top-5 snapshots through the window are consistently occupied by pre-Jan-2021 assets (SOL and LUNA, the newest to reach the top ranks, both launched 2019–2020, before the cutoff). No post-Jan-2021 launch is found in the top 5 anywhere in the window. Slight residual uncertainty on brief intraday rank spikes, but no credible evidence of a qualifying entry. No outcome value assigned.

Outcome evidence
Across 2021–2023 the top-5 by market cap were consistently occupied by BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, XRP (with ADA/DOGE/SOL rotating in the top 6–10) — all of which existed before January 2021 (BTC 2009, ETH 2015, USDT 2014, USDC 2018, BNB 2017, XRP 2012, ADA 2017, DOGE 2013, SOL Mar 2020).
2022 top rankings (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, BNB, XRP, BUSD, Dogecoin, Cardano, Polygon) — every top-5 asset predates Jan 2021; no post-Jan-2021 launch appears in the top 5. Notable newer L1s (Aptos Oct 2022, Sui 2023) only reached the top ~20–30.
